There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

In the Xiliang army, Hua Xiong also seemed to see something was wrong. Although he was separated by a relatively long distance, he could still vaguely see the outline of the top of the Yangren City Wengcheng.

But seeing above the top of the city at this time, it is no longer the calm young man in white clothes who drinks and eats vegetables, but has turned into a flag-bearing general in heavy armor with his head held high, although it is only a rough outline , but Hua Xiong also recognized the other party's identity.

When Cao Cao was working in Luoyang last year, he knelt under Dong Zhuo's tent and met Hua Xiong often, so at this moment, Hua Xiong recognized Cao Cao at a glance!

Seeing that Ximen's guard had changed from Tao Shangshang, a young cook, to Cao Mengde, a middle-aged thief, although Hua Xiong didn't know it, but he could feel that he was bewitched by the other party and couldn't help being furious!

Originally, because of Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang generals had already regarded him as a thorn in his flesh, especially after the old boy failed in the assassination, he still ran under the noses of the Luoyang generals?It is simply a great shame.

"Where is the messenger?" Hua Xiong shouted loudly.

"exist!"

"The attacking army is in the front, and the rushing cars and ladders are the second. Let the governor clear out the rebels in the city!"

"promise!"

"Dong dong dong dong!"

With the sound of thick and deep drums, the front vanguard of Huaxiong's army began to launch a fierce attack on Yangrencheng, while Huaxiong was sitting in the middle army, staring at Cao Cao on the tower with fiery eyes.

Cao Cao didn't look flustered at all, and he responded calmly, but while waving the command flag, he ordered the messengers on the left and right to arrange the deployment and distribution of crossbowmen, Leimu gentry, armored troops, shield soldiers, and reinforcements.

The potter was hiding aside, listening, learning, and observing carefully.

Practice is the best teacher, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, the number one hero of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is here to personally teach pottery merchants, how can we not study hard.

"Xu Chu." The pottery merchant turned his head and called out to Xu Chu.

"exist!"

"The other ministries of the Xuzhou Army are led by Mi Fang and follow the unified command of Staff Officer Cao. Just lead the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Army and fight this battle for me. You don't ask for credit or merit, as long as you train this strong army. Brother Meng De is a master." As a soldier, it’s fine if he sits here! You just need to command the Tiger Guards properly!”

"Promise!" Xu Chu was not a good one either. He was standing behind the pottery just now and heard Cao Cao's various orders. He deeply felt that this black dwarf used troops differently. Now that he had listened to the pottery's orders, he was even more convinced.

"Blow the horn!"

"Woooooo!"

As the front of the Xiliang Army was getting closer and closer, a horn sounded louder than Hua Xiong's call for the front army to attack, and as soon as this sound sounded, the other horn sounds around the Wengcheng Following that, the sound of the horn seemed to spread throughout the entire battlefield.

Round after round of arrow rain accompanied by Cao Cao's military order, they shot down from the top of the city like dark clouds. Their targets were not those sergeants who carried the siege vehicles, but those who were poorly dressed but courageously carried The fortified soldiers running on the ladder to the city tower.

To put it nicely, the attacking army is death squads, but to put it badly, it is cannon fodder.

Round after round of arrow rain suppressed these attacking soldiers, shot them down, made them lie down, and sent them to the abyss of death.

Cao Cao's approach is the safest method of tactics. In the case of long distances, first find a way to eliminate the opponent's vital forces to the greatest extent.

The potter's scalp felt numb, although after the Fuyun battle, he had already directly noticed the cruelty and death of the war.

But the battlefield for the second time was obviously much larger than the last time, and the level of blood was far more terrifying than that time.

Everyone in the world said that Xiaoxiong is cruel, but when a person faces this kind of bloody scene every day and watches the disappearance and death of this kind of life every day, how can he not become hard-hearted?

On the city wall of Yangren, although the soldiers of Cao, Tao, and Liu all obeyed Cao Cao's command, the Tiger Guards led by Xu Chu were only part of the battlefield, and they were called the Pottery Merchant's Guard, so Cao Cao also It is inconvenient to transfer directly.

But Xu Chu took the initiative to put these soldiers on the front line of the city, standing side by side with the guard army led by Cao Cao's brother Cao Ren.

That's right, the general in charge of supervising the defenders of the city is Cao Ren!

Seeing the opponent's soldiers and horses getting closer and closer to the city, when the first ladder was erected on Yangren City, Cao Ren showed a stern smile.

"Come on! Come on! It's my turn!"

Chapter 39 Tui Huaxiong

The Tiger Guards led by Xu Chu stood side by side with the Cao's garrison army led by Cao Ren.

Cao Ren is not very old, he looks younger than Cao Cao, in his early thirties, but he feels more determined and less calm than Cao Cao

Looking at the row of straight soldiers behind Cao Ren, waiting for orders at any time, there was no tension or fear on their faces, and some were just stern and vacant.

Xu Chu's heart couldn't help jumping, secretly thinking that Cao Ren is not a simple person, and he can't see that there are so many capable people under Cao Cao's command.

But it is no wonder that later generations judged the role of the generals of the Xiahou clan of the Cao family in Cao's army. Xiahou Dun was the mainstay, and he had repeatedly settled for Cao Cao's rear; It's really a talent to seek a commander, and Yong Liang resisted Shu.

But if you talk about being able to persevere, be able to endure, and be good at defending, it must be Cao Ren.

Seeing that all the ladders were on the top of the wall, Cao Ren raised his eyebrows coldly, turned to look at Xu Chu and said, "General Xu, please help someone."

Xu Chu said in a naive voice: "Don't worry about it, you will be beaten when you come! I will do my best!"

Cao Ren said: "Okay, my soldiers and horses can only lay wood and push stones to prevent the opponent from going to the city, but if anyone misses the top of the city, please General Xu and the warriors under his command to kill them!"

Melee combat hit Xu Chu's arms. If the two armies were to confront each other, Xu Chu's troops would not be enough for the Xiliang Army's teeth. But if the opponent climbed the city, most of the soldiers would be washed and filtered by Cao Ren at the top of the city, and they would be able to climb up. In this way, the pressure to fight head-on with the Xiliang Army will not be so great, and it will allow the Tiger Guards to grow in the shopping!

"On the top of the city, if there is a living person from Hua Xiong's army, please behead someone!" Xu Chu promised loudly.

Hearing this, Cao Ren couldn't help admiring him, looked at Xu Chu carefully, and said in his heart, "This man is a bloody man, with the momentum of a dragon and a tiger, but his words are a bit stupid and straightforward. He is one of the potters. Man, what qualifications do I have to kill him?"

At this time, Dong Zhuojun's front vanguard had already begun to climb the city. Cao Ren diverted his attention, swiped his sword, and shouted at Cao Jun on the top of the city: "Throw wood! Throw rocks! Push the ladder!"

"Kill kill kill!"

As the Xiliang army, which charged through the long-range weapons, began to climb the city, a second battlefield opened up above the city wall. The coalition army and Dong Zhuo's army confronted each other head-on.

This was a more tragic battle than the arrow rain just now. The huge stones and wooden barriers smashed the brains of the soldiers who climbed the top of the city, and the blood was splashed, especially the soldiers who fell from the tower. It took half a moment to not completely die, but just lost the ability to move, crying and screaming desperately, and the mournful voice made people's liver and gallbladder burst.

After a while, the top of Yangren City seemed to have been painted with red paint. The walls were stained extremely red with blood. The blood and fingernails left behind are like a bright red ghost painting, telling something.

The potter's eyes danced back and forth inadvertently, and his heart seemed to be twisted several times. He felt the pain in his chest and the fresh lives disappeared before his eyes. Feeling uncomfortable, helpless, depressed

This is a world that is far more cruel and terrifying than future generations.

At this moment, a messenger returned to the outer side of the main city Urn. Cao Ren cooperated with Xu Chu in the east and defended seamlessly, while Cao Hong and Mi Fang in the west couldn't hold on anymore, especially Mi Fang's army. , in the face of such a big occasion, the arrangement and scheduling are quite disorganized.

After hearing this, the potter's face turned red. Mi Fang didn't know that he was a general, and it was reasonable to widen the gap with Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun under Cao Cao's command during this kind of battle.

Cao Cao was already prepared, and turned to Liu Bei and said, "Please ask Xuande to lead the troops to rescue him!"

Liu Bei arched his hands, without saying a word, he turned around and led the others away without delay, his usual gentleness was gone at this moment, showing his majestic demeanor.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei's back and nodded, then turned to Tao Shang and said, "Brother Tao, is there any discomfort?"

The pottery merchant looked solemn and shook his head.

Cao Cao encouraged: "Good boy! It's the first time I've seen this formation, it's very good!"
