There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

It seems that they have separated from Cao Jun.

This city can be fought!

Chapter 792 Night Battle Heart War

On the first night after the potters attacked the city, Cao Pi came to visit Xun Yu's prison.

Xun Yu's cheeks, which were punched by Cao Zhang earlier, were still slightly swollen, but after careful treatment by the Xuchang medical officer, they have healed a lot, at least it doesn't look particularly scary.

Today, the Jinling army is attacking the city vigorously, and all the soldiers of the Cao army in the city are concentrated at the four gates to defend it. No one has time to interrogate Xun Yu at all.

However, the matter of extorting a confession from Xun Yu's mouth and making Xun Yu plead guilty has always been recorded in Cao Pi's mind and has not dissipated.

For Cao Pi personally, this matter can be said to be very important.

The prison belongs to a dungeon. There is no sunlight during the day and no moonlight at night. There is only a single lamp flickering faintly in the cell.

Seeing Cao Pi coming in, Xun Yu just gave him a sideways look and didn't speak.

Cao Pi stepped in and found a clean place to sit down.

He looked at Xun Yu coldly, and said: "I thought you were wronged, but now it seems that you are indeed connected with the pottery! I, Tao, treat you well, why are you so?"

Xun Yu raised his eyes to look at him, and said calmly, "Why did you say that?"

"The pottery merchant gave up Puyang City because of you, and turned his troops to fight Xuchang. When he arrived in Xuchang, he didn't even rest, and directly surrounded and attacked! Do you know that in today's battle, our city of Xuchang is How tragic?" When Cao Pi said this, his tone was full of resentment and anger.

Xun Yu fell silent upon hearing this.

After thinking about it for a moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Gao, it's really clever."

Cao Pi frowned slightly: "Who do you think is smart?"

"It's not about you anyway." Xun Yu's tone was not very good.

Cao Pi stood up, walked in front of Xun Yu, and stared at him tightly: "Tell me, what is the deal between you and the pottery merchant? Tell me!"

Xun Yu didn't answer Cao Pi's question, but instead asked him, "How about the gentry and common people in the city when the pottery merchants attacked the city? But what's there to resist?"

Cao Pi: "What good did the pottery promise you?"

Xun Yu: "Do you still have all the defense equipment in the city?"

Cao Pi: "When did you start contacting pottery?"

Xun Yu: "Are the gentry in the city still willing to donate military funds?"

Cao Pi: "Is it your trick to send Cao Ren and my brother out of Xuchang?"

Xun Yu: "The potters attacked the city, and people's hearts are unstable. You have to let me out to stabilize the situation. After the situation stabilizes, you can deal with Xun whatever you want."

Cao Pi took a deep breath.

Now he completely understands what it means to play the piano to a cow.

Following Xun Wenruo seems to be unable to understand human language.

If it weren't for the lack of opportunity right now, Cao Pi wished he could have strangled Xun Yu with his own hands before slapping Xun Yu twice.

"Mr. Wen Ruo, are you listening to me?"

Xun Yu said with a stern face, "Second Young Master, did you listen to me? The current situation is critical, and the people in the city are afraid that people's hearts are uncertain. I just ask you to let me go out to help the city defense. Wait for the city to be defended. Tao soldiers retreat, Xun Yu A certain person is willing to be killed and dealt with without any complaints!"

Cao Pi finally couldn't bear it anymore. He grabbed Xun Yu's lapel and said angrily, "Xun Yu, don't think you are great. Without you, Xun Yu, my Cao family can still guard Xuchang City. The Xuchang City's surname is Cao. Not Xun! The people in the city are the people of my Cao family, not your Xun Yu's people!"

A sneer flashed from the corner of Xun Yu's mouth. He stretched out his hand and pushed Cao Pi away, and said angrily: "Xuchang is the city of the Han family, and the people are the people of the Liu family. What has it to do with the Xun family of the Cao family? Be careful what you say, my lord!"

"You..." Cao Pi pointed at Xun Yu fiercely, nodded and said, "You wait! I'll clean you up sooner or later!"

After all, he turned and walked out.

Seeing that Cao Pi didn't eat oil and salt, the tears in Xun Yu's eyes slowly flowed down his cheeks.

Xuchang City, it's over.

Cao Zhang was outside the prison door, listening to the movement inside.

When I was young, seeing Cao Pi walk out of the cell, Cao Zhang came up and said, "Second brother, the gentry in the city are indeed not very cooperative at the moment, and the donated food and the number of people sent out are much less than before. It's not related to Xun Yu's imprisonment, otherwise, let's release him first and talk about it later?"

Cao Pi secretly scolded Cao Zhang for being an idiot.

If you let Xun Yu out now, let him make great contributions and defend the city, wouldn't it be more difficult to send him to prison in the future?

"This person has a connection with Tao, if he is released, I don't know what troubles will arise!"

Cao Zhang nodded because he didn't understand, and he didn't know whether he understood or didn't understand.

But Cao Pi is his elder brother, so he can do whatever he asks him to do.

At this time, a guard suddenly ran in from outside, and said to Cao Pi, "Second Young Master, it's not good, the Jinling army is attacking the city again!"

Cao Pi led Cao Zhang out of the cell in a hurry.

It was pitch black at the moment, and Cao Jun's soldiers on the entire city wall were already exhausted from the fierce battle during the day.

I thought I could have a good rest overnight, but I never thought that Tao Shang's army would come to attack the city again.

Although Cao Jun relied on the city and equipment to guard the city, they were completely incomparable with the Jinling Army in one matter.

That is, there are many soldiers in Jinling.

The soldiers of the Jinling Army who attacked the city during the day had gone back to rest, and the soldiers who attacked tonight changed again.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the Jinling army lit torches in the rear, illuminating the night sky as if it were day, and launched a night battle against Xuchang City.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Countless ignited projectiles were smashed into Xuchang city in large numbers by the trebuchet.

The battle tonight will be supervised by the potter himself.

While observing the top of Xuchang City, he told the messenger: "The three armies don't rush to the top of the city for the time being, just bombard the city with catapults, and shoot rockets to the top of the city with well fences, attack from a long distance, and disrupt the enemy as much as possible." army, but reduce melee combat and reduce casualties."

The military order was passed on, but Xu Chu seemed very anxious.
