Chapter 348

In the morning, the sun rises.

The golden sun fell on the bloodstained city floor, with the air of desolation and extermination. Today's Xinye County tower is dilapidated.

On the wall of the city, the East and the West were smashed out of potholes.

There was a pile of corpses outside the city. The blood had dried up and the corpses were cold.

On the city tower, Zhang Ren has already got up to wash. He has been trapped in Xinye County for six days. Zhang Ren looks at the soldiers stationed on the city tower with solemn eyes.

The seventh day!

However, Liu Xiu's reinforcements have not come yet.

In Zhang Ren's prediction, if Liu Xiu's reinforcements can't arrive today, he will have to give up Xinye county. Otherwise, it can only be the result of the destruction of the city.

"Dong! Dong

The rumble of war drums came from outside the city.

The sound, as if from the horizon, and then from far and near, closer and closer.

"Kill

Neat high pitched cry, also immediately spread.

The dark Cao army is approaching.

Zhang Ren immediately ordered: "Cao Jun is coming, ready to defend."

At the command, the exhausted soldiers on the tower had to cheer up and begin to prepare quickly. Only at this time, there was only boiling water in big pots on the tower, and all the other timbers and rolling stones had been used up.

Bows and arrows used by archers should also be spared.

At this point, Zhang Ren is at the end of his tether, and is almost at the end of his tether. Zhang Ren has done his best to persist for such a long time.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Cao's army was at the foot of the city.

A cloud car, ladder, a siege car fast approaching, Cao Jun began to attack. The two sides took the city tower of Xinye County as the battlefield of battle and fought each other constantly.

Cao Ren is commanding in the rear with sharp eyes.

Today, he must break the city.

Cao Ren constantly commands the soldiers to attack, seeing waves of soldiers rush up to the city tower, clenching their fists, with expectation in their eyes. But Zhang Ren's defense is still quite rigorous, wave after wave on the tower of Cao Jun was beaten down.

The towers that were occupied again and again were taken back by the soldiers guarding the city.

Xinye County tower, has become a meat grinder.

The soldiers put in by both sides are constantly consumed, and there is no return.

Blood flow, the whole city building nearby, filled with a bloody smell.

The battle lasted until noon, the sun was shining, and the garrison of Xinye county was exhausted.

At this time, Cao Ren had no plan to withdraw and rest. He directly ordered the soldiers to attack, and did not give Zhang Ren a chance to slow down. If there are other soldiers under Zhang Ren's command, he can order the rest of the soldiers to change their guard and let them rest. But now there is no such opportunity and time.

Even if the soldiers were hungry, they could only support themselves.

Once the soldiers are removed, the tower will be lost immediately.

The only thing Zhang Ren can do now is to stick to it, nailing it to the city tower, and making sure to stick to it until the last breath. As long as there is a chance, Zhang Ren can't give up.

"General, it's not good. Cao Jun's soldiers rush up. Now they're going to open the gate downstairs."

"General, all my 100 soldiers have been killed."

"General, I'll take a step ahead of you. Ah... "

On the tower, the situation has reached a precarious point. A soldier fell in the pool of blood, a general is no soldiers available, and Cao Jun is still in the overwhelming killing.

Zhang Ren sighed in his heart, but he didn't expect to rely on Liu Xiu in the end.

In his mind, there was the situation when Liu Xiu asked for help from Yizhou. Liu Xiu went to Yizhou for help, but Liu Zhang refused at the beginning, and did not plan to send troops at all.

Finally, because Liu Xiu took out Nanyang County, Liu Zhang agreed to send troops.

Now, he just went to ask Liu Xiu to send troops without spending any money. It seems naive.

Both sides are princes, naturally for the sake of interests.

Liu Xiu is the leader of Jingzhou, and he can't support him without any reason. Now think about it, I'm really naive. Although Liu Xiu had met him several times, he was not able to send troops to support him.

Zhang Ren ordered: "ready to withdraw!"

In desperation, Zhang Ren gave the order directly, and was already planning to retreat.

"Cao Ren, Yi Yang, Wei Yan is here."

All of a sudden, the orderly shouts resounded on the battlefield outside the city.

Three thousand soldiers in order to shout, as if tearing the sky, the voice echoed inside and outside Xinye county. This momentum was even sharper, like a sharp sword, which wanted to pierce Cao's army directly.

When Zhang Rengang gave the order, he heard the cry from outside the city.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

Zhang Ren roared, with a look of ecstasy on his face."Brothers, hold on, hold on, Liu Jingzhou has sent reinforcements."

Zhang Ren roared and ordered again.

At this time, the soldiers of Xinye county were also in a good mood. One by one, with all their strength, they fought bravely with the Cao soldiers who attacked the city.

At this moment, the morale of the soldiers guarding the city rose abruptly.

The remaining thousands of soldiers, one by one, fought back and forth quickly, and chased the Cao soldiers who rushed to the city tower.

"Kill

On the tower, the shouting continued.

"Kill

Jingzhou soldiers outside the city also called out and quickly went to kill Cao Ren's central army.

Wei Yan has a black horse in his crotch, wearing armor and a sharp sword in his hand. The sword swung in the air, shining in the sun, flashing cold light.

"Cao Ren, die!"

Wei Yan gave a loud order. He took the lead and was extremely fast.

Three thousand elite followed, but also a vigorous sprint.

In the twinkling of an eye, he had already collided with Cao Ren's Chinese army. Wei Yan swung the edge of the knife and cut it down. The light of Sen Leng passed in the air, and Cao Jun soldiers in front of him were killed on the spot.

Wei Yan led 3000 elite, like a sharp cone, quickly penetrated into the army.

Cao Ren's eyes were calm. He immediately directed the soldiers to fight back.

This battle lasted for six days, and now it is the seventh day. Cao Ren also knew that Liu Xiu might send troops to support him, so he took precautions early. Wei's 1000 soldiers quickly closed his wings. In addition, Cao Ren knew that Cao Cao was still in the rear, and he would dispatch troops to intercept and kill Jingzhou soldiers.

So even if Liu Xiu came to the rescue, it would not help.

"Kill, kill Jingzhou soldiers."

Cao Ren gave a loud order that he was still in the central army, commanding the soldiers under his command to gather and surround the Jingzhou soldiers.

There are battlefields on the tower and battlefields outside the city.

For a time, the sound of killing was even more shocking.

Fifteen miles northwest of Xinye, on a broad official road. A brave and elite cavalry is ready. The leader was Xu Huang, a general under Cao Cao.

Xu Huang, whose name is Gongming, was born in Yang County, Hedong.

At the beginning, Xu Huang was a riding captain under Yang Feng's account, who was once a subordinate of General Li Yi in Xiliang. After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Shi and Guo Si fought each other. Yang Feng once assisted Li Shi to fight against Guo Si. After that, Yang Feng was recruited by the imperial court and separated from Li He.

After Yang Feng followed the little emperor Liu Xie, Xu Huang also followed Yang Feng to Luoyang as an official.

When Cao Cao welcomed the emperor into Xu county, Cao's army defeated Yang Feng, and Xu Huang turned to Cao Cao.

Under Yang Feng's command, although Xu Huang was highly valued, he also suffered from suspicion. Under the command of Cao Cao, Cao Cao was not only good at employing people, but also Xu Huang, who was very generous in promotion.

Even Cao Cao praised Xu Huang for his "Zhou Yafu style", which shows that it is not simple.

Xu Huang's military training attaches great importance to military discipline and appearance. Every move of his soldiers is forbidden, and no one will overstep it.

Under the command of Cao Cao, Xu Huang's soldiers are elite.

In this battle of Xinye, Cao Cao's plan was that once Liu Xiu sent troops to rescue, Xu Huang would lead 5000 elite cavalry to cover up and kill Liu Xiu's reinforcements, and at the same time, crush the garrison of Yizhou soldiers.

"Newspaper!"

All of a sudden, a sentry came quickly.

The sentinel came to Xu Huang and said, "general, Liu Xiu has sent troops to Xinye county. According to the investigation, this time Liu Xiu personally led the army to the rescue. "

When Xu Huang heard the speech, he had a smile on his angular face.

Liu Xiu came in person!

That's just right!

This time, Liu Xiu was directly captured alive.

Xu Huang took a deep breath, and with a clang, he pulled out his sword. Then he drove his horse to the side of the pipe and ordered, "let's go!" A command, horseshoe sound like thunder, 5000 fine riding, quickly to Xinye county.
