The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 150 Chapter 150
The gate of Puyang City was breached in an instant, Xuzhou soldiers rushed towards Puyang City like a tide, while Cao Cao and others were forced to retreat to the Urn City.

"Fire arrows!"

On the tower of Wengcheng, the disheveled Cao Cao could finally open his eyes, and when he saw Xuzhou soldiers pouring into the city, he immediately gave an order.

Following Cao Cao's order, the archers on the wall of Wengcheng fired arrows at the densely packed Xuzhou soldiers below.

The one who rushed to the front was the camp led by Gao Shun. They braved the dense rain of arrows and quickly rushed to the gate of the city. Then they followed the same pattern and threw the package full of kerosene at the gate of the urn city again. .

Wei Xu and Cao Xing each led a team of archers scattered on the two wings of Gaoshun, shooting arrows at the city wall non-stop.

For a moment, arrows flew back and forth in the air, like a dense rain of arrows.

Gao Shun ignited the fire oil again, and the fire burned at the gate of the city again. The whole gate was sealed by the fire, and it started to burn.

On the wall of the Wengcheng, Xia Houyuan saw Gao Shun showing off his power, so he drew his bow and set up an arrow, condescendingly, and shot a cold arrow towards Gao Shun.

Seeing such a scene, Cao Xing immediately opened his bow and set up an arrow, and shot the arrow out with a sound of "whoosh".

Xia Houyuan's feathered arrow flew out, and it was about to hit Gao Shun. Unexpectedly, an arrow suddenly shot out from the middle, and directly collided with his arrow head, making a crisp "ding" sound, Both arrows ended without a problem and fell to the ground in an instant.

Xia Houyuan looked in the direction of the arrow, but saw that the shooter was Cao Xing, and an arrow had already left the string and shot towards him.

He immediately opened his bow and shot an arrow, which directly hit Cao Xing's arrow, and the two arrows fell from the sky again.

Seeing this, Cao Xing drew out his arrow again and shot towards Xia Houyuan.Xia Houyuan sneered, quickly drew three arrows from the quiver, put them on the bowstring together, then drew the bowstring fully, and shot towards Cao Xing.

The three arrows flew towards Cao Xing, but their trajectories were different, and they shot at three different vital points of Cao Xing.

Cao Xing was taken aback, such superb archery skills were beyond his reach.However, his reputation is not in vain. With his strong archery skills, he immediately came up with a countermeasure.

He drew three arrows from the quiver in a row, and shot them out quickly. Each arrow hit Xiahouyuan's arrow head-on, and unexpectedly resolved the crisis inadvertently.

At this time, Cao Xing shot three more arrows in a row, and the three arrows kept the same trajectory, like a line, and shot towards Xia Houyuan again.

Seeing this, Xia Houyuan sneered and said, "How dare you show off your small skills in front of me?"

As soon as the words fell, Xia Houyuan drew three arrows at a time, held the big bow, pulled the bowstring, and shot the three arrows in an instant.

However, Xia Houyuan took out three more arrows from his quiver and shot at Cao Xing again, a total of three times. In a short while, he shot nine arrows and flew towards Cao Xing together.

What is the gap?This is the gap.

Cao Xing immediately realized the danger he was in, and he had never encountered such a quick succession of shooting nine arrows, and today was the first time.

No matter how fast he fired, he couldn't beat Xia Houyuan. In desperation, he had no choice but to jump and hide aside.As soon as he walked on his front foot, the nine arrows on his back foot plunged into the ground where he was just now. It was really thrilling.

Just when Cao Xing was still in fear of dodging just now, he just looked up and saw an arrow shooting towards him, the arrow was extremely fast, and when he wanted to dodge, it was already too late .

"puff!"

The arrow directly hit Cao Xing's face, and the sharp arrow pierced Cao Xing's forehead tightly, and Cao Xing fell to the ground with one arrow.

Cao Xing let out a scream and fell to the ground, convulsed all over, his eyes were filled with fear, he was dying, and soon he would be unconscious.

It turned out that Xia Houyuan shot those nine arrows in a row just to drive Cao Xing away. When Cao Xing dodged, Xia Houyuan had prepared an arrow and aimed at him all the time. When he shot it, he poured all his physical strength into the arrow, the purpose of which was to kill Cao Xing with one arrow.

Cao Xing was shot to death by Xia Houyuan, but the soldiers under him did not appear to be flustered. Instead, an army Sima continued to lead them and kept firing arrows towards the city wall.

And Cao Xing's body was trampled to death by the Xuzhou soldiers rushing from behind. Even if he passed out, he should have been trampled to death at this time.

The scene where Xia Houyuan and Cao Xing competed in archery was just a small episode in this fierce battle. No one stopped because of Cao Xing's death. On the contrary, Cao Xing's death stimulated his subordinates, and the offensive It became more and more violent.

The fire was burning the city gate, and Gao Shun hit the charred city gate with a log again, and the sound of "boom, boom, boom" came out continuously. To Cao Jun's ears, it seemed that their death knell had sounded.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

High in the sky, lumpy objects filled with lime powder were thrown onto the urn city one after another. In a short while, the urn city was once again covered with gray fog, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Cao Cao closed his eyes tightly and coughed violently. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered to retreat to the inner city.

A group of people had just got off the tower of the Wengcheng, but they heard a loud "boom", and the gate of the Wengcheng was smashed open. Gao Shun led the trapped camp and took the lead. Cao Bing killed him.

Once the gap in the city gate was opened, the Xuzhou soldiers behind Gao Shun rushed over like a torrent.

Seeing this, Cao Cao immediately asked Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Xia Houyuan to lead the crowd to resist here, and arranged for street fighting.Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately sent Cao Xiu and five hundred soldiers to escort his family to leave Puyang, cross the Yellow River north, and go to Hebei.

In addition, he also sent people to inform Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other scholars to retreat first with Cao Xiu and others. Under the protection of Dian Wei, he commanded the battle and fought street battles with Xuzhou soldiers. .

After the gate of Wengcheng was breached by Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Yu Jin, Niu Jin, Xu Sheng, and Chen Ying led their troops to rush into the outer city from the gate, but Cao Jun did not withdraw, but stayed in Wengcheng. Near the gate, rely on the houses in the city to resist, and guard the main road into the city.

Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Yu Jin, Niu Jin, Xu Sheng, Chen Ying and others led their elite soldiers and launched a fierce attack on Cao Jun.The Xuzhou soldiers were like huge waves, one wave higher than the other, and they all slapped violently on the beach where Cao Jun was stationed.

The Xuzhou soldiers' attacks were stronger than the next, and the arrows shuttled back and forth between the two armies. Cao's army retreated while fighting, and they refused to give up an inch.

The battle was fierce, and the two armies fought fiercely in the streets and alleys. The Cao army fought bravely to defend this piece of land, while the Xuzhou soldiers marched forward bravely to capture this piece of land. Use their flesh and blood to prove their strength.

The general attack order was issued, but Zhang Yan did not enter the city. When he learned that the city's own army was engaged in fierce street fighting with Cao's army, he sent Xu Chu to lead [-] cavalry into the city to support.

At the same time, he sent Zhang Liao to lead [-] cavalry to ambush outside the east gate, and asked Tai Shici to lead [-] cavalry to ambush outside the west gate. Once he saw Cao soldiers who had escaped from the city, he would immediately attack and guard the city gate. Let Cao Bing escape from the city.

In addition, Zhang Yan specially led [-] infantry to the north gate of Puyang City, and ambushed outside the north gate, while the rest of the soldiers entered the city to fight, and all Cao soldiers who encountered resistance, no matter who they were, would be killed. .

Now, Cao Jun is on the verge of extinction. He wants to take Puyang today and wipe out Cao Cao in one go.

After the order was issued, Zhang Yan made it easy for the generals to separate, and he quickly moved to the north gate with [-] infantry.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the north gate, they saw a group of people fleeing from the city under the escort of the cavalry led by Cao Xiu.

Zhang Yan immediately ordered to attack this group of people, beheading all of them regardless of gender.

Seeing Zhang Yan leading the crowd, Cao Xiu left [-] cavalry behind and led them personally to fight Zhang Yan, while others guarded Cao Cao's family, the injured Xiahou Dun, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You, etc. People, some food, grass and luggage fled north.

Seeing that Cao Xiu came with only two hundred cavalry, Zhang Yan didn't pay attention to Cao Xiu and others at all. He called out spearmen and lined up in front of the team. Shooting from behind, the school swordsman guarded Zhang Yan's side.

The 3000 people became a whole in an instant. Seeing this, Cao Xiu hurriedly reined in his horse, not daring to provoke Zhang Yan easily, but instead retreated.

In desperation, Zhang Yan had no choice but to let the army move with him, trying to force Cao Xiu.

Unexpectedly, Cao Xiu was very cunning. Seeing Zhang Yan driving the army to move over, he did not approach. Instead, he let the cavalry shoot arrows on horseback and kept harassing Zhang Yan.This is like a mouse that climbed onto an elephant. The elephant kept twisting its body, trying to let the mouse get down, but the mouse ran around and couldn't get down.

At this moment, Zhang Yan, who had lost his cavalry, also felt uncomfortable. Cao Xiu kept harassing the army formation, like a dog's skin plaster, which could not be removed.

The neat army formation moved towards Cao Xiu and the others together, but Cao Xiu was all cavalry, they couldn't catch up at all, but once the army formation was withdrawn, Cao Xiu would definitely drive the cavalry to charge over.

The army commanded by Zhang Yan is not Xuzhou's elite, but was recruited in recent months. It has not rich combat experience. It has only gone through a short few months of training. It is extremely difficult to maintain such a neat military appearance when the enemy is fighting.

In the entanglement between Zhang Yan and Cao Xiu, Cao Cao's family members, Xiahou Dun, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You and others had already gone far.

When Cao Xiu saw this, he didn't bother with Zhang Yan anymore, and led the cavalry, he fled northward quickly.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan ordered his soldiers to stand guard at the city gate, while he sent someone to inform Zhang Liao and Tai Shici to lead the cavalry here, but ordered the rest of the soldiers to guard outside the east and west gates to prevent Cao Jun from fleeing.

After Zhang Liao and Tai Shici led the cavalry to the north gate, Zhang Yan sent the two of them to pursue Cao Xiu and the others, making sure to capture Cao Cao's family members.

After receiving the order, the two left the north gate immediately, and chased north along the official road.
