In the following time, the Dahua Third Route Army continued to march forward.
As for the cities they attacked, there were special handlers behind them.
This was arranged by Lu Bu in advance, and they had a clear division of labor to improve efficiency.
What you want is to catch Cao Wei off guard.
Strive to take more cities before Cao Wei reacts.
In fact, Cao Wei was really blinded by Dahua.
Some small cities, just when Cao Wei had just reacted, were ready to go to the rescue.
Then when they arrived, they found that the city they were going to rescue was going to fall, and they rescued a fart Dahua's attack this time can be described as fast and accurate.
With Cao Wei's strength in Sizhou, it was impossible to defend it at all.
What made them even more frustrated was that their emperor, leading an army of 150,000, was in Xuzhou.
Even if they wanted to ask for help, it wouldn't be able to come by for a while.
There is an even more fatal question, Dahua still has 100,000 troops in Xuzhou, do they Cao Wei really dare to send a large army to rescue them Since the war with Dahua, they can be said to be passive everywhere, and they have been led by Dahua by the nose, and they have been extremely aggrieved.
It only took three days, and the entire Sizhou was occupied by Dahua more than half of the territory.
Seeing that in three or two days, the entire Sizhou will be completely annexed by Dahua At this time, Cao Cao had already received the news of Dahua's all-out attack on Sizhou.
After getting the news, Cao Cao was about to go crazy.
He's shameless Feng Xian Pifu is really shameless If you lead an army of 100,000 troops and garrison Xuzhou without attacking, isn't it just forcing me to fight you for a decisive battle?
Now that I have arrived with an army of 150,000, you have not moved your troops, dragging me and my army of 150,000 to death here.
Then you secretly went to attack Sizhou Don't be so shameless Don't be so mean Originally, we came to the front Now Cao Cao is faced with a dilemma.
If he sent troops to support Sizhou, it would be tantamount to giving up Xuzhou in vain.
If you don't send troops to support, you can only watch Dahua eat Sizhou.
No matter what choice Cao makes, Sizhou and Xuzhou will definitely lose one.
However, it is obvious that for Cao Wei, the geographical location of Sizhou is more important.
Because, Sizhou is the land of the Central Plains and a transportation hub.
If Dahua gets Sizhou, Sizhou and Yuzhou still have 800 miles of Qinchuan, which are connected together, and they will crush Cao Wei.
So, do they want to protect Sizhou?
Well, Cao Cao thought about it, if they sent a large army to Sizhou, then I am afraid that more than half of the entire Sizhou would have been lost.
At that time, it may be difficult for Xuzhou to keep it.
In this case, then simply do a wave in Xuzhou first In the end, Cao Cao made such a decision.
Cao Cao decided to send a hot air balloon team to carry out a tentative attack on Cao Wei first.
Their emperor is currently in the south of Xuzhou.
If the hot air balloon team can blow up Dahua's emperor Lu Bu to death, it will be a great thing.
Although the probability is very low, Cao Cao is still willing to give it a try.
What if it succeeds?
Last time, Cao Wei made such an attempt.
However, it is a pity that their hot air balloon team was attacked by the ground attack of the Dahua three-bow bed crossbow, resulting in all of their hot air balloons being shot down.
This time, of course, they won't repeat the same mistakes.
They decided that the hot air balloon would rise to an altitude of a thousand meters.
At this height, the limit of the range of a three-bow bed crossbow has been reached.
Even if you can barely reach this angle, the penetration is gone, and besides, the accuracy is much worse.
However, throwing at an altitude of 1,000 meters is also a huge challenge for Cao Wei.
At an altitude of 1,000 meters, the wind speed is very strong, and if you project it to the ground, you will not be able to carry out a precise strike.
In this case, it can only be done by feeling.
At the same time, it is also necessary to take into account the blocking and attacking from the Dahua hot air balloon team.
However, for Cao Wei, the blocking and attacking of Dahua's hot air balloon team is much less threatening than the three-bow bed crossbow on the ground.
Because the threat of hot air balloons to the ground is huge, but the air-to-air attack is really lackluster.

Attacks in the air are nothing more than throwing bombs, or attacking with bows and arrows.
The attack distance of the two sides is equal, and who can have the advantage in the end depends entirely on the on-the-spot performance.
For Cao Wei, this is probably the way to fight with the greatest chance of winning The duel in the air is basically five or five open, even if their chances of winning are a little smaller, they can reach the level of four or six open.
In the duel of other arms, the victory rate is basically three or seven, or even two or eight Finally, Cao Wei's hot air balloon team rose into the air in Xiapi and moved in the direction of the Dahua military camp, preparing to launch an air attack on them.
Dahua's scouts discovered the situation at the first time and quickly reported it to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu immediately ordered the hot air balloon team to be ready to go, quickly lifted into the air, and then kept approaching Cao Wei's hot air balloon team, preparing to intercept it.
This is the first head-to-head confrontation between the air power of the two sides.
Winning or losing this contest is very important for both sides.
If Cao Wei can have an absolute advantage, then Cao Wei will find a strategy to deal with Dahua.
They only need to strike at Dahua in the air, Dahua is bound to defend passively, and there is no spare energy to expand.
Even defending has become difficult.
And if Dahua crushes Cao Wei, then Cao Wei can be said to be crushed by Dahua in all aspects.
After that, the situation will fall into complete passivity, and it will be difficult to turn the tables around.
Lu Bu and Cao Cao both took out binoculars and paid close attention to the situation in the air.
After a while, the hot air balloon teams of the two sides began to meet, and the distance between the two sides was shortened to within 100 meters.
As Cao Wei's hot air balloon team, their purpose was to attack Dahua's military camp, preferably to kill Dahua Emperor Lu Bu.
They certainly didn't want to have an encounter with the big balloon team.
Therefore, when moving forward, they chose to avoid the Dahua hot air balloon team as much as possible.
However, it is a pity that the hot air balloon of Dahua is moving much faster than them.
Moreover, the flexibility of others is also much higher than theirs, which directly leads to their inescapability.
Since you can't avoid it, let's just fight The distance of 100 meters is still a little worse for both sides, at least for Cao Wei.
Their optimal attack distance is at least sixty or seventy meters.
At this distance, they can attack with bows or crossbows
