Cao Cao retreated.

Tao Qian in Xuzhou City finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Cao Cao continued to attack Xuzhou, he was still in fear every day when the city was under siege.

When Cao Cao retreated, Tao Qian also began to pay attention to the war in Yanzhou.

This time Cao Cao was able to retreat, largely because Zhou Cheng invaded Yanzhou.

Of course, there is no enmity between Zhou Cheng and Cao Cao, so why should he fight against Cao Cao?

Moreover, why he deliberately crossed the river to go south, couldn't he really do it for 'justice'?

Tao Qian absolutely did not believe that Zhou Cheng would attack Cao Cao for the sake of justice.

The only explanation is that Zhou Cheng did not want to see Cao Cao annex Xuzhou and did not want Cao Cao to become more powerful.

This made Tao Qian, Mi Zhu and others change their views on Zhou Cheng.

……

Outside Puyang City, the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Trebuchets were arranged in rows, and stone bullets weighing dozens of kilograms, as well as kerosene cans, fell crazily towards Puyang City.

Puyang City is the county seat of Dongjun, and most of Cao Cao's family wealth exists in Puyang.

At this time, Zhou Cheng stormed Puyang, which was the key to attacking Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao doesn't come back to save Puyang, then Lao Di will be gone.

Under Zhou Cheng's fierce attack, the casualties in Puyang City increased every day.

Xia Houyuan was also capable. He organized civilians to defend the city and repair the city walls every day, blocking Zhou Cheng's offensive.

At this time, Xu Fang came behind Zhou Cheng and reported:"My lord, Cao Cao has led his army to withdraw from Xuzhou.""

"Is Cao Mengde afraid? Zhou Cheng laughed loudly and was about to give the order:"Wen Yuan, I order you to……"

At this time, Li Ru said:"My lord, Cao Cao's army is in the city but there are many people and few supplies. There are reinforcements outside. We must attack them quickly, and we will win!"

Zhou Ben wanted Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry to intercept and kill Cao Cao on his way back.

However, Li Ru's reminder made Zhou Cheng stunned for a moment.

Li Ru said:"My lord, Puyang is the key point of Cao's army. If Puyang is defeated, the morale of Cao's army will be shaken. If my lord attacks Puyang fiercely, Cao Mengde will speed up the rescue. But my lord only needs to wait for work, and he can break it with one drum."

Jia Xu also said."My lord, what Wen You said makes sense. Puyang is the key point of Cao Jun's army, and Cao Jun's heart is tied to it!"

Zhou Cheng shouted,"Send the order! The first person to climb the city will be rewarded with a thousand cattle and sheep."

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.

The captive army of the Death Battle Camp, as well as the Rouran and Xianbei people, attacked the city more fiercely at this time.

The change in the momentum of the siege touched Xia Houyuan's heart

"If the city is destroyed, your family members will also be moved outside the wall and become slaves!"

At this time, Xia Houyuan's lieutenants, military lords, Qu Chang, etc. were all reminding the soldiers and Qingzhuang to realize the consequences of defeat. On the top of the city, the prisoners of the Death Fighting Camp were together.

Cao Jun and Qing Zhuang also fought fiercely and fought with their lives.

In less than two hours, both sides rose in a straight line.

Moreover, as the attacking party, Zhou Cheng's army and horses suffered greater losses.

However, Zhou Cheng Cheng didn't care.

Zhou Cheng ordered:"Prepare the death camp!"

"Here!"Zhang Meng, Liu Tong and others took the order, and immediately the death battalion joined the battlefield.

On top of Puyang City, Xia Houyuan was watching the situation below the city.

The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. The defenders need to pay attention to the changes in the enemy's attack, and then Make corresponding adjustments and resist.

This is Xia Houyuan's experience in defending the city.

At this time, some of the troops and horses attacking the city from the Rouran people, Xianbei people, and the Death Fighting Battalion were withdrawn.

Moreover, in front of Zhou Cheng's formation , the flag was waving.

Woo - the low and suppressed horn sound was blown again.

Dong-dong-dong.

Along with the sound of war drums, a group of obviously powerful military horses different from the captive troops of the Death Fighting Camp, the Rouran people and the Xianbei people appeared in the formation. forward

"The Lord has an order to attack the city with a death camp! Zhang

Meng shouted loudly

"oh! oh! oh!"

The soldiers of the Death Battalion roared angrily.

At this time, the Rouran people, Xianbei people, and prisoners of the Death Battalion on the battlefield had already voluntarily given up their positions.

"not good!"Xia Houyuan felt bad!

"Siege the city!"

"Kill!"

"kill!"

Thousands of Ren Xia from the death camp rushed towards the city with a round shield on their heads.

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow quickly!"

"There are not enough arrows, go and get them!"

"Tsumugi and rolling stones are ready!"

"Where's the kerosene! Where is the kerosene!"

Cao Jun on the top of the city obviously felt uneasy.

Whoosh!!!!

The arrows shot through the wind and hit the city. The arrows passed by the ears, making people's hair stand on end.

In a short time, the round shields were full of bullets. arrow

"kill!"

"Kill!"

The number of death camp soldiers who fell to the ground after being hit by arrows is also increasing.

However, this group of people is so crazy!

At this time, Linchong, Jinglan, and Haoqiao began to advance forward.

"Bed crossbows, trebuchets, aiming at the well railings of the rebel army, and rushing!"

Bang!

Bang!

The stone bullet hit Linchong, and the kerosene tank exploded on the well railing, igniting a fire.

Xia Houyuan's expression was tense, and he did not dare to be careless at all.

If Puyang City was breached, then what would happen to them in Puyang City? All grain, grass, and baggage will fall into Zhou Cheng's hands.

And half of Cao Cao's money and grain are stored in Puyang City. It is no exaggeration to say that Cao Cao's headquarters are all in Puyang.

"They're attacking again!"

"The ladder, the ladder of the thief army!"
