Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 346 Breakthrough
With the sound of gold, the Xuzhou army receded like a tide. After the last round of roaring, the giant war beasts also gradually retreated. Many soldiers of the Cao army looked at the retreating Xuzhou army, their legs softened, and they did not care about the city wall. There were corpses all over the place, and they sat down in it, panting heavily.

Xuzhou's army is like a rainbow. Whether it is Zhang Liao in the south city, Huang Zhong in the east city, or Gao Shun in the west city, the pressure on Cao Jun is great, as if each side is the main attacker. The brilliant offensive makes Cao Jun fight every moment. There was a feeling that the city was about to be broken, so that when the opponent withdrew his troops, Cao Jun felt like he was going to survive a catastrophe.

The generals of each battalion took the opportunity to change their defenses and ordered the people to go to the city to dispose of the corpses.

On the tower, Cao Ren watched all this silently. He didn't feel any relief because of the retreat of the Xuzhou army, but his heart became heavier.

In any case, giving up his companion is not something to be happy about, especially at this time of crisis. On this day, he is struggling violently in his heart or thinking about whether there is someone who can replace him.

However, since Xun You spoke out, it was obvious that he had considered it carefully. Among the generals, it seemed that Yu Jin was the only one who was able to stabilize the situation at this time.

"General!" Niu Jin came to Cao Ren's side and said, "The enemy army has retreated. The general has been guarding here for a day. It's time to go back and rest."

Cao Ren looked at Niu Jin, nodded silently, got up and went down the tower, and walked slowly into the city.

It wasn't a long distance, but Cao Ren walked very slowly, feeling like he hoped he would never finish.

It's a pity that the road has an end after all. When he returned to the government office, Cao Pi and the generals were already waiting there, and Xia Houyuan also came back after setting up Xuchang.

"Uncle Zixiao, why is your face so ugly?" Cao Pi keenly sensed that Cao Ren's complexion was not very good-looking, and quickly stepped forward and said, "But you were injured?"

Cao Ren shook his head, patted Cao Pi's hand, indicating that it was okay, and looked at the generals in the tent. The number one generals in Cao's army had already gathered here.

After Cao Pi was invited to take his seat, Cao Ren came to his seat. Although there was no distinction between Cao Jun and Cao Jun now, he was vaguely headed by him.

"Everyone, I'm going to lead my lord, Mr. Zhi and Mr. Zhang to break through." Under the gaze of everyone, Cao Ren spoke slowly, his voice was extremely hoarse, and the atmosphere in the hall became more dignified following his words.

"Why? Our army didn't show defeat!" Xia Houyuan frowned and said, "Why did Zixiao think so suddenly?"

"If you keep it, you can keep it for a while." Cao Ren didn't refute, nodded and said, "But must we keep it until the city is destroyed? By then, what kind of situation will the lord and the two young masters face? Do you have any ideas?" Pass?"

"Originally, we were going to stick to this place, and at the same time contact Jizhou Yuangong to return to the army to help us retreat from the enemy. At that time, Lu Bu dare not put all his troops here." Cao Ren's hoarse voice echoed in the hall: "If this is the case, it will be meaningful for me to stick to it. No matter how tired I am, at least the soldiers still have hope. However, whether Yuan Tan's move now represents Yuan Gong's intention, no one knows. The soldiers are desperate. Today's situation, you should also look at it. arrive."

"Defend, of course you can still defend. Even if the Xuzhou army is fierce, you can always defend it for a month, but the city will inevitably be destroyed in the end." Cao Ren looked at the generals: "As generals, there is no need to say anything about the shrouded body of horse leather , but what about the lord?"

Cao Pi looked at Cao Ren with a pale face and said, "Uncle, Zihuan is not afraid, even if he dies here!"

Cao Ren nodded dotingly, looked at the generals and said, "What's the point of staying here, except to give Zhang Liao and Gao Shun some more prestige?"

The generals were silent and did not speak.

"Do you still want to take revenge on the old lord?" Cao Ren asked again.

Xia Houyuan sighed and said, "What Zixiao said makes sense, but when is Zixiao going to break through?"

"The sooner the better." Cao Ren said in a deep voice, "However, the defenders in this city cannot be taken away. Someone needs to stay behind."

What Cao Ren said was quite euphemistic. In fact, since he wanted to break through, it would be best for a small group of elites to break through so that the enemy would not be able to detect it.

Now the Xuzhou army is attacking the city in a way of encircling three ques and one. There is no garrison guarding the north gate, but everyone is an expert in using soldiers.

Therefore, the task of the people left behind is not to defend the city, but to help cover them when they break through, attract and block the enemy troops, and let those who really want to break through successfully break through.

"I'm coming!" Xia Houyuan took a deep breath, looked at the generals and said.

"The final general is willing to protect the lord to break through the siege!" Yu Jin and Le Jin stood up and said.

"Brother!" Cao Hong and Cao Chun also stood up and said solemnly.

Looking at the crowd, Cao Ren hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Wen Ze has always been prestigious, and he can control the three armies, so Wen Ze will stay behind."

The generals did not speak. It is not surprising whoever chooses to stay at this time.

"The last general takes orders!" Yu Jin clasped his fists and said, "I will protect the lord."

"Wen Ze, the number of our troops breaking through the siege will not be large. Tigers and leopards will be accompanying us, and we will be able to cross the Yellow River tomorrow. Wen Ze will be considered a success as long as he guards until tomorrow evening. Then try to break through." Cao Ren looked at this man who was fighting side by side. Friends for many years, said in a deep voice: "I will wait in Liyang."

"Zixiao, since Yuan Tan has sent troops, how do you know it wasn't Yuan Shao's intention?" Xia Houyuan frowned and said, "Wouldn't it be a trap for me to go here?"

Cao Ren shook his head and said, "If even Duke Yuan refuses to take him in, the world is so big that Ren doesn't know where else to go. Whether to go to Jizhou or not is up to the Lord."

He said and looked at Cao Pi.

After Cao Pi closed his eyes and thought for a moment, he nodded and said, "According to Uncle Zixiao's words, Pi is willing to give it a try."

Although he was young, after so many things, Cao Pi already had a bit of tolerance. This made Cao Ren feel relieved, but also heartbroken. How old is this child? At the age of 13 years old, he should be carefree, but he has to take care of the future of a family.

Looking back at Yu Jin again, he said, "Wen Ze, you must come back!"

Yu Jin stepped in and saluted, "The last general takes orders!"

The goal has been agreed, and it is time to discuss when and when to leave.

"Since it has been decided, the general thinks it's not too late for this matter. Such a sudden mobilization of troops can also be taken by surprise." Le Jin suggested.

Yu Jin said in a deep voice: "You can make people attack the enemy's camp at night. They don't want merit, but they want to attract the attention of the enemy. In the end, they will personally lead the army to protect the lord out of the city!"

"Thank you, General!" Cao Pi nodded, and said to Jin Dao gratefully.

The plan was decided, Cao Ren summoned his confidant generals Niu Jin, Niu Gai, and Gao Qian, and ordered the three of them to stay behind to assist Yu Jin, to attack the enemy camp at night, to buy time for them to break through. , unless Lu Bu came in person, it would be impossible to catch up with them.

Yu Jin personally led [-] elites and tiger and leopard riders out of the city together. At midnight, the four gates of Shouzhang City opened together, and Niu Jinsan led his troops straight to their respective camps.

The generals of Cao Jun escorted the three brothers Cao Pi and the Bian family out of the city.

Outside the north gate, Chu Nan, who was watching the city in the night, suddenly noticed that the green energy was surging in Shouzhang City, and the luck began to dissipate. He frowned slightly, turned to look at Zhou Cang and said, "Go to Chief Wen and ask him to order troops."

"Here!" Zhou Cang didn't talk nonsense, and ran directly to Tongchuan. Chu Nan got on his horse and squinted to look in the direction of Shou Zhang. As time went by, the change of Shou Zhang's luck became more and more obvious.

This is the first time Chu Nan has encountered such a change in luck. Although he doesn't know what happened, something must happen!

"Master!" Wei Yan came to Chu Nan with soldiers and horses, bowed and said, "I don't know what orders the lord has?"

"Shouzhang City, there are changes tonight, so I will trouble the chief to work harder tonight. I will definitely gain something by staying here!" Chu Nan pointed at Shouzhang.

"Here!" Although Wei Yan didn't know how Chu Nan judged, but he knew that his lord had a supernatural ability, he should have noticed something, so he didn't ask much, and he and Chu Nan led the army quietly to the outside of Shouzhang City. At the third watch, almost as soon as they arrived, they saw the gate of Shouzhang City opened wide, and a Cao army swarmed out from the city.

"Big fish!" Chu Nan and Wei Yan's eyes lit up at the same time, and Chu Nan pointed: "Do it!"

"Thief general, where are you going!" Wei Yan was also overjoyed, he didn't expect such a good thing to happen to him, after the troops left the city for a certain distance, he immediately roared and led his troops to cut off the enemy's back route. This group of people coming out of the city surged towards them.

Even if Cao Jun had already guessed that there was an ambush in Beicheng, he was not surprised to see it.

"My lord, the last general will send my lord here!" Yu Jin saluted Cao Pi, turned his horse's head and shouted: "Change the rear team to the front team, line up!"

"Take care, general!" Cao Pi clasped his fists at Yu Jin as a salute, and then did not stop. Cao Chun commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry to form an army formation and gallop towards the west.

Seeing this, Chu Nan knew that this team was weird, but there were only Zhou Cang and two hundred guards around him, not to mention that he couldn't catch up, even if he could catch up, he didn't dare to catch up, and he was not his father-in-law. He and Zhou Cang are the only ones who can handle any fierce generals.

There are only a small group of people, let him go, he looked at Yu Jin's [-] elite, this team can't run away.

Wei Yan and Yu Jin fought against each other before, and after the two battle formations collided, Wei Yan knew who the enemy was. He immediately laughed and shouted with the strength of the army formation: "Yu Wenze, it's so late at night, what's the plot!?"

Seeing that Cao Pi and his party had gone away, Yu Jin felt relieved, looked at Wei Yan and responded with a sneer: "General, you might as well guess!"

"No need to guess!" Wei Yan would not play guessing games with him, and laughed loudly: "It is enough to keep you tonight!"

Yu Jin is a general of the Cao army. In the previous fights, both sides were evenly matched, but now he has a large number of soldiers, and Yu Jin's three thousand elites are determined!

"It depends on whether you have the ability!" Yu Jin said disdainfully, the battle formation merged, but Wei Yan had already rushed in at the head of the horse!

"A reckless man!" Seeing this, Yu Jin gritted his teeth and cursed in hatred. The strength of the three armies gathered, and they marched towards Wei Yan without fear...
