Never thought I would become the emperor

Chapter 143 Chapter 143

"Report! According to the report from the sentry in front, Cao Cao led the army to retreat from the Sishui River."

In the hall, a soldier hurried in, saw Hua Xiong and quickly knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully.

"What! Cao Cao left?"

Hua Xiong yelled loudly, the fight with Cao Ren made him lose face, and he wanted to find a chance to exchange ideas with Cao Cao, but Cao Cao withdrew his troops just like that.

Hua Xiong forced himself to control himself. After calming down, he asked, "When did it happen?"

The soldier replied honestly: "Just three hours ago, in order to cover up their withdrawal, Cao Cao specially made more than 4000 dummies and put them on the other side of the river. If it weren't for a few brave brothers crossing the river to see, I'm afraid we haven't found out that Cao Cao has withdrawn his troops yet."

Hearing this, Hua Xiong slapped the table and stood up abruptly, cursing: "Damn it, order me troops immediately, I will personally lead the army to hunt down Cao Cao and Cao Ren!"

When they heard that they were going to chase the enemy, Hua Xiong's men were all shocked. Their eyes flashed with excitement, and they raised their hands and said in unison: "Promise!"

After a while, more than 1000 Xiliang cavalry had gathered. The horses could no longer hold back their violent temper. Their hoofs kept trampling the ground, and strings of hot steam came out of their noses.

Hua Xiong, who was at the forefront, waved his hand, and more than 1000 Xiliang iron cavalry came out of Sishui Town in a mighty and dense array, and galloped forward like a strong wind, chasing Cao Cao.

When Hua Xiong left, not only did the entire Sishuitan become leaderless, but he also took away the elite of the entire Xiliang division.As a result, the strength of the Xiliang Division troops who stayed behind at Sishuitan was greatly reduced.

He led the cavalry regiment to cross the Sishui River, and rushed into the dense forest. He ran wildly for several hours, but he didn't find Cao Jun at all, not even a trace of people walking.

The more he chased, the more Hua Xiong felt that something was wrong. Looking at the empty woods around him, he felt a little hairy in his heart.

The soldiers under his command didn't take it seriously, they firmly believed that Cao Cao had taken a long detour, and as long as he continued to chase forward, he would be able to catch up.

But at this moment, a series of figures suddenly appeared on the mountains around Sishui Town, but they were densely packed as far as the eye could see.

"This is."

The soldiers standing on the city wall looked at the crowd on the top of the mountain, and they were all taken aback, exclaiming: "Yes, it is Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!"

I saw the army with the banner of Cao rushing down from the mountain in a mighty manner. They were all tied with some branches for concealment. This was why Hua Xiong did not notice them.

Cao Cao rode a horse and slowly came to the crowd, followed by four thousand Cao family warriors who were waiting in full formation.At the same time, Cao Ren followed him closely. Although the wound on his chest had not healed yet, he still protected Cao Cao's safety.At the same time, it was holding a large box in both hands, and it was unknown what was inside.

Cao Cao shouted to the soldiers on the city wall: "Soldiers above, you all listen to me, your general Hua Xiong has been beheaded by us, as long as you are willing to surrender, you can avoid death. !"

"What? General Hua Xiong is dead?"

"That is not true, is it?"

"General Hua Xiong just went out to chase them, so how could Cao Cao appear here? Something must have happened."

For a time, the people above were talking a lot, and even their respective superiors were unable to suppress such a situation.

For a moment, surprise and fear enveloped the hearts of the soldiers. The generals were all killed. What else could they fight for?
However, at this time, one of the generals above pointed at Cao Cao and shouted: "Cao Cao, stop being so arrogant! My general is very skilled in martial arts, but you can actually kill him? Besides, if you want to see a person alive or a dead body, yours Where’s the proof?”

Cao Cao was obviously well prepared. He clapped his hands, and Cao Ren next to him opened the wooden box, then poured it down, and a head covered in blood rolled down.

"Sigh~"

Everyone gasped, no one thought that there was actually a human head, and they all tried their best to look forward, but the distance was too far to see clearly.

However, the appearance of this head is tantamount to confirming from the side that Cao Cao's statement is correct and Hua Xiong is indeed dead.

"Everyone calm down, General Hua Xiong is definitely not dead!" The general before him shouted, trying to calm everyone's fear.

However, as soon as everyone heard that Hua Xiong was dead, the previous morale was like a ball, and all of a sudden leaked out. At this time, there was only fear on their faces.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Cao Cao turned his head and said, "Order the generals to attack!"

"promise!"

Cao Ren responded, and then Cao Cao and Cao Ren retreated to the back. They were so prepared, the imperial army immediately set up their formation, and they pushed all the wooden siege carts that had been prepared in advance.Although these projects are not real siege vehicles by visual inspection, they are enough to open simple city gates.

"put!"

With a wave of Cao Hong's right hand holding the sword, all the crossbowmen who were ready released all the arrows on their crossbows. At that time, thousands of arrows gathered into a dense rain of arrows, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth.

"Help!"

"what!"

Only heart-piercing screams could be heard from the city wall, and the tens of thousands of iron arrows beat them into a hornet's nest alive, and their death was extremely tragic.

"on!"

Following Cao Ren's roar, the soldiers in the front row pushed the siege vehicles and rushed forward in a mighty manner. Although two or three arrows were occasionally shot from the city wall, they had no effect at all on them. .

I saw the strong men of the Cao family rushing forward one by one like hungry tigers. It took them more than a minute to rush directly to the city gate from a distance of several hundred meters, and then the siege vehicles arrived as scheduled.

"Bah!"

"Bah!"

With the sound of shaking the sky and the ground, the heavy door filled with water was shaken, as if it would fall down in the next second.

"Hold me!"

And outside the city gate, hundreds of soldiers used their bodies to resist the impact of the siege engine. Every time the siege engine hits, the soldiers standing in the front row will be knocked out. The huge pain Make them miserable.

With the sound of "bang", all the pain and anxiety were activated at the moment the city gate fell, and the strong men of the Cao family outside the city rushed in one by one like wolves and tigers, facing the inside. Soldiers are like slaughtered lambs.

"kill!"

"Come on!"

"on!"
