Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Subsequently, the offensive and defensive battle kicked off with the earth-shattering war drums. Cao Jun rushed to Huguan like a flood.

From the very beginning, Cao's army launched a fierce attack without reservation, and the focus of the attack was on the southern city wall.

The battle was very brutal, blood was flying all over the sky, crazy shouts resounded in the sky, the wounded were still fighting hard, the soldiers who died in the battle fell unwillingly, and the two sides were like red-eyed bulls fighting each other.

Time moved slowly in the gore, and finally it was evening. The golden bell of Cao's army rang.

Cao's army retreated, leaving only a mountain of blood and corpses in the setting sun.

Chen Chu, who had been standing on the tower of the city gate, looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help but worry. In the

next few days, Cao's army attacked day after day at any cost, and in order to withstand the wave after wave of Cao army's offensive, the northern army paid an extremely heavy price.

As time went by, Zhang Fei, who had always been full of confidence and didn't care about it, also showed a sad face.

On the fifth day after Cao's attack, the fragile southern city wall finally collapsed again. Immediately, Cao Jun howled like a flood opening the floodgates, surging through the gap.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao, who was watching the battle in the rear, couldn't help but shout excitedly, and all the strategists and generals under Cao Cao's command also showed excited expressions.

When Chen Chu saw the Cao army pouring in, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and immediately ordered urgently: "Mo Dao soldiers go up! Cao Jun must be pushed out!"

When the infantry of the Northern Expeditionary Army, who was struggling to support at the gap, saw the Mo Dao Army wearing heavy armor and holding a terrifying Mo knife, their morale suddenly lifted.

The Mo Dao Army advanced like a wall in a tight formation, and the terrifying Mo Dao set off a bloody storm in the soldiers. In front of this killing machine, the assault infantry of the Cao army could not resist at all, and under the burst of sword light, the Cao army fell one by one.

At the same time, the thunder throwers desperately threw 'thunderbolts' into the Cao army's soldiers, and in the brilliant firelight, the Cao army suffered heavy losses.

Under the double blow, Cao Jun, who rushed into the pass, was finally forced to retreat.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao slammed his horsewhip in annoyance.

For the next two days, Cao Jun tried to rush into the city through the gap, but they were all pushed out by the terrifying Modao Army, and every time Cao Jun hit the gap, the result was only a shocking sea of corpses and blood. The strong combat effectiveness displayed by the Modao Army deeply shocked Cao Cao and his subordinates.

However, the so-called 'manpower is sometimes exhausted', and no matter how powerful the Modao Army is, it can't last long in a high-intensity battle. As time passed, as the casualties continued to increase, the Modao Army finally showed its inadequacy.

On the seventh day of Cao's attack, Cao's army finally broke through the resistance of the Modao army and rushed into the city. At this moment, Cao Jun burst out with a shout of extreme excitement.

Looking at the Cao Jun who were swarming in, Chen Chu had no choice at all. At this moment, Chen Chu no longer had any reserves in his hands.

"Big brother, hurry up and rush out of the city with me!Otherwise, it'll be too late!" Zhang Fei hurriedly ran to Chen Chu, wiped a handful of blood on his face, and anxiously persuaded.

Chen Chu hesitated slightly, then followed Zhang Fei down the city gate tower, stepped on the war horse, and fought a bloody way to the north in the soldiers.

At this moment, the remnants of the Northern Expeditionary Army were fighting with the Cao army that rushed into the city. While many people showed signs of despair, no one showed signs of timidity.

The battle continued until near evening, when it subsided.

The pot is lost.

Chen Chu rushed out of Huguan under the protection of Zhang Fei, and there were less than 6,000 soldiers left who followed Chen Chu, and all of them were injured.

After running for more than ten miles, Chen Chu saw that there were no pursuers catching up, so he ordered the whole army to stop.

At this time, Chen Chu and the others came to a small forest, and the tired people sat down on the ground and gasped for breath.

Chen Chu sat down under a big pine tree, and Zhang Fei and several other generals stood beside him, looking around vigilantly.

Chen Chu looked around and found that Tian Feng was not by his side.

"What about Mr. Yuan Hao?" asked Chen Chu urgently.

When the generals heard this, they immediately looked around, but they didn't find Tian Feng. At this time, a general guessed: "Is Mr. Tian Feng still in the city?"

Chen Chu frowned, and his heart was very uncomfortable. Tian Feng may have been more than lucky.

At this moment, a sergeant who was looking from a high place said loudly: "Lord, there are dozens of people running over this way!" When

everyone heard this, Huo Di stood up, and Chen Chu asked urgently: "Who is the other party? Is it the chasing soldier or

our people?" The sergeant replied: "It's too far away, I can't see it clearly! However, it seems to be our people!"

Chen Chu immediately said to Zhang Fei: "Second brother, you immediately bring someone to meet you." If it's one of ours, take it, and if it's a chasing soldier, we'll get rid of

it!" "Big brother, don't worry! I know it!" Zhang Fei clenched his fists and promised, and then stepped onto the war horse with a snake spear.

"Second brother, be careful!" Chen Chu came to Zhang Fei's war horse and said with a sad face.

Zhang Fei grinned, then turned his head and raised his head: "If you can still move, go back with my old Zhang to see! See which turtle grandson is following us!"

As soon as Zhang Fei's words fell, nearly 2,000 soldiers gathered, and then chased Zhang Fei in the direction of Huguan.

Chen Chu looked at Zhang Fei's back and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

At the same time, Cao Cao rode his beloved horse 'Claw Huang Feidian', and entered the Huguan in high spirits surrounded by the generals.

Coming to the dilapidated East City Gate, Cao Cao looked at the tragedy in front of him and felt full of emotion in his heart. At such a heavy price, he Cao Cao finally won the pot pass.

None of the generals and strategists who followed Cao Cao showed a happy countenance, and no one could be happy when they looked at the blood in their eyes.

"Are there any captives of the Northern Army?" Cao Cao asked, after a pause.

Everyone showed hesitation, and no one replied to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel slightly surprised, so he turned to look at everyone, and said in a slightly unhappy tone: "Why don't you answer my question

?" Seeing Cao Cao's unhappy tone, Le Jin hurriedly reported: "Lord Qiqi, we haven't captured the prisoners

of the Northern Army!" Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "What does Wen Qian mean by this? How could it be that he didn't capture the prisoners of the Northern Army?" It is normal for Cao Cao to have such questions, how could there be no prisoners in such a big war

! Le Jin explained: "When the officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army were surrounded by our army, our army persuaded them to surrender many times, but none of them were willing to surrender, and would rather die in a bloody battle with our army! There were even some Northern Expeditionary Army headquarters that would immediately chew their tongues and commit suicide after being captured by our army!" As he spoke, Le Jin's face showed an unusually complicated expression.

Cao Cao couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and exclaimed in a tone of disbelief: "How is this possible! The so-called 'ants are still stealing life', how can the Northern Army treat life and death as nothing!?"

"The last general will not dare to deceive the lord!" Le Jin bowed with a frightened face.

Seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly helped Le Jin up, and then said warmly: "I don't believe the general, this matter is really incredible

!" At this time, Guo Jia on the side said thoughtfully: "I have long heard that the Northern Army is not afraid of death, I thought it was just a compliment, but I didn't want the Northern Army to be so brave!"

Cao Cao frowned, and his expression was quite worried.

Cao Cao walked slowly on the ruined city wall surrounded by everyone, when the general Cao Hong ran up from below.

"Lord, Chen Chu has just escaped from Huguan!" Cao Hong reported excitedly.

"What? what did you just say?" Cao Cao didn't react for a moment.

Cao Hong hurriedly explained: "Just now we interrogated the people in this city, and some people told us that Chen Chu led the army to Huguan half a month ago and never left!"

Cao Cao finally reacted, and then grabbed Cao Hong's arm and said urgently: "Then what are you delaying!

"The lord doesn't need to worry. General Xiahou has already chased after him with 10,000 light cavalry!" Cao Hong replied immediately.

"Lord, if Chen Chu escapes from Huguan, he will definitely enter the Shangdang nearby! The lord can immediately gather a large army to chase after him, and by the way, he can take down the Shangdang in one go!" Guo Jia suggested.

Cao Cao nodded, and then resolutely ordered: "Zilian, Fengxiao, Ziyang, the three of you stay in Huguan, and the rest of the generals will follow me and me to the west to pursue Chen Chu!

Just as everyone was talking, Xiahoudun had already led 10,000 light horsemen to gallop out of Huguan and chase west along the official road.

On the other side, Zhang Fei led 2,000 people to intercept dozens of people coming from the direction of Huguan on the official road. However, there was no fighting. It turned out that these dozens of people were all under the command of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and Tian Feng was among them.

As soon as Tian Feng saw Zhang Fei, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked urgently: "General Yide, where is the lord?"

Zhang Fei was inconvenient to dismount and greet Tian Feng because he was wearing a helmet and holding a spear, so he sat on the war horse and said to Tian Feng: "The eldest brother is in the woods behind, and the gentleman will go by himself! The eldest brother was still worried about the gentleman just now, but now he can finally rest assured!" Zhang Fei's words revealed some joy.

Listening to Zhang Fei's words, Tian Feng couldn't help but be moved in his heart. Then he hugged his fist at Zhang Fei and said: "General Yide, I'm going to see the lord now! General Yide himself should be careful

!" Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Sir, don't worry about my old Zhang, I don't care about those turtle grandsons under Cao Cao!"

Hearing this, the surrounding sergeants' nervous expressions eased a lot.

Tian Feng glanced at the sergeants around him, couldn't help but nodded, and sighed in his heart: Du Dao Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide are rough and reckless, but who knows that there is a rare refinement in this roughness.

After Tian Feng said goodbye to Zhang Fei, he rushed to the woods where Chen Chu was located under the protection of more than a dozen soldiers.

After Tian Feng left, Zhang Fei immediately ordered two thousand soldiers to line up on the official road. The purpose is to block the pursuit of Cao's army that may appear at any time.

Zhang Fei sat on a horse as black as ink, and immediately walked in front of the military formation with the Eight Snake Spears in his hand.

About two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Fei and the soldiers suddenly felt that the earth trembled slightly.
