Cao Biao?
Thinking of this name, Xun Yu's heart skipped a beat.
He seemed to have understood something.
If the person who came was really Cao Biao, then it was too terrifying!
"Investigate again and report again!"
A moment later.
"Sir, it's Cao Biao's army!" The scout returned.”
Boom!
Xun Yu stood rooted to the ground as if he had been struck by lightning.
So it was like this!
From the very beginning, Cao Biao's goal was not to use Cao Cao to exchange for Sun Ji and Cao Pi, not Yanzhou, nor to resolve the hopeless situation in Xuzhou. It was his lord's family, Xuchang!
Everyone had been tricked by Cao Biao!
The more Xun Yu thought about it, the more certain he was and the colder he felt.
Xuchang had too many things. There was Cao Biao's mother, Sun Ji, the emperor, and everything that Cao Gong had conquered!
If Xuchang was taken, the morale of the army would be in chaos. The territory that the lord had built over the years, other than Yanzhou, the remaining Si Li and most of Yuzhou would also be in danger!
Thinking of this, Xun Yu couldn't help but shiver.
If Si Li and Yuzhou were lost, the consequences would be unimaginable. His lord's advantage over Cao Biao would be gone. Cao Biao might even replace his lord and become the second most powerful force in the north after Yuan Shao!
So no matter what, Xuchang could not be lost!
However, Cao Cao's main force and his most capable generals had all gone to Xu Prefecture!!
What should he do?
Beads of sweat covered Xun Yu's forehead. He slammed his palm on the wall and shouted,"
"Pass down the order. All troops are on alert and ready to face the enemy!!”
"Woo-"
A heavy horn sounded. In Xuchang City, 50,000 elite soldiers entered a state of preparation.
"Dong! Thump! Thump! Thump! Dong!"
The deafening sound of drums sounded, forming waves of sound waves that suddenly sounded on the walls of Xuchang.
At this moment.
A few miles away from Xuchang City.
"Ha! Hah! Ha!"
The cheers shook the sky as the fifty thousand strong army marched towards Xuchang in an orderly formation.
The current military appearance had changed greatly. Just from the aura, one could feel the surging killing intent.
"Stop!"
With this order, the army stopped a mile away from the city wall. They stood in a square formation, motionless like a mountain, and their aura soared into the sky.
In the formation, there were also huge thunderbolt chariots.
Xun Yu stood on the city wall and looked at the black mass in the distance with a solemn expression.
Even though Xuchang City had thick walls and was easy to defend but difficult to attack, there were only 50,000 soldiers in the city and there was no general to lead them. As long as the city gate was broken, Xuchang would definitely fall.
Therefore, Xun Yu shouted," Pass down my order! Guard the city gates! Without my order, you are not allowed to leave the city!"”
"Quickly send someone to Xu Prefecture to inform Second Young Master!!”
"Yes, sir!"
Warhorses galloped off to report to Xu Prefecture. The soldiers guarding the city were also arranged at the top of the city wall, with archers standing in great numbers.
Da! Da! Bang!
Cao Biao rode forward with the Overlord Spear in his hand. Under everyone's gaze, he came to a few hundred feet away from Xuchang's city wall and held his spear horizontally.
"Mr. Wen Ruo, long time no see!"
"Yeah, it's been dozens of days since we last met. I didn't expect that Cao Biao would return to Xuchang.”
Xun Yu smiled calmly.
Cao Biao continued," A wise man doesn't beat around the bush. This time, I returned to Xuchang to take it down. Why do you have to put up a stubborn resistance, Mister Wen Ruo? Why don't you open the city and surrender? Let's conspire to rule the world together!"”
"Hahaha!"
Xun Yu laughed." Cao Biao, oh Cao Biao, when I was in Xuchang, why didn't I see your wild ambition?"”
"That's because you're stupid!"
Xun Yu's laughter stopped abruptly and he stared at Cao Biao.""Cao Biao, Xuchang is the lord's foundation, do you really want to seize it?”
Cao Biao chuckled." Xun Yu, I'll tell you the truth. I'm not only going to take Xuchang, but I'm also going to take the entire Si Li. I should be close to taking Yuzhou as well. I want all of Cao Cao's territory!"”
"You! You're so ruthless!"
Xun Yu felt a sweetness in his heart and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Cao Biao and said,""Young Master Cao Biao, you and the lord's blood is thicker than water, why must you do this?!”
Cao Biao stopped smiling." I've said everything I want to say. Surrender or not, make a decision quickly!"”
"Don't even think about it!"
"Alright, then let's see what happens.”
Cao Biao waved the spear in his hand and shouted,
"Three armies, listen up! Attack the city immediately!"
Rumble!
In an instant, the 50,000-strong army was like a black tide that pushed forward with an unstoppable momentum.
Dust billowed and a huge storm rose outside Xuchang City.
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
The army advanced, but they still maintained a strict formation.
In between the shadows, a dark, ice-cold, giant thunderbolt car was slowly being pushed…
On the city wall, Xun Yu suddenly looked at the army coming toward Xuchang City. He waved his hand and shouted,""Order the entire army to prepare for battle!"
Thump! Thump! Dong!
War drums were beating, resounding through the sky.
The archers on the city wall quickly assumed a battle stance and drew their bows to perfection.
Once Cao Biao's army reached the shooting range, they would launch a fierce rain of arrows.
Under Xun Yu's lead, the 50,000 soldiers were filled with fighting spirit. They relied on the tall walls of Xuchang and were full of confidence. They were like hunters looking at their prey that was about to come to their door.
This scene reminded Xun Yu of the siege in Chenliu.
However, the two of them exchanged positions.
Xun Yu gritted his teeth and whispered," Cao Biao, let me show you. Attacking a city isn't as easy as you think!"”
However!
Cao Biao's army had yet to enter the shooting range of the bow and arrows when they stopped.
Immediately after!
Two hundred huge Thunderbolt Carriages were pushed forward.
Very quickly!
Under the shocked gazes of Xun Yu and the others, the Thunderbolt Carriage was already filled with huge stone bullets.
"Release!"
Cao Biao waved his spear and gave the order.
"Woo!"
"Woo!"
"Woo!"
A loud noise was heard.
Two hundred stone bullets shot out from the Thunderbolt Chariot at the same time. They rose into the air and smashed down on the walls of Xuchang like meteorites falling from the sky.
" Dodge, dodge quickly!!"
Liu Ting, the general guarding the city, suddenly woke up and shouted. He took the opportunity to pull Xun Yu to the ground.
In the next moment.
A meteorite fell!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked. The earth shook and the mountains shook.
In the blink of an eye, the city wall in front of Xuchang had been smashed into a large pit.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
The archers who were originally standing on the city wall were like ants at this moment. Wherever the boulders rolled down, they were crushed into pieces, and some were even smashed into meat paste.
Miserable screams rang out endlessly!
The city walls of Xuchang were instantly shrouded in a thick fog of blood and dust.
Xun Yu, who had just escaped death, was stunned. His eyes were about to pop out as he muttered in disbelief,"
"What…what kind of weapon is this? It's so powerful!"
In fact, catapults were already used on the battlefield today, but they could only throw relatively light stones. Later, they were modified to throw fireballs, but their power was still limited.
The Thunderbolt Chariot was actually a catapult. It was named Thunderbolt Chariot because of the loud sound it made when throwing stones. According to history, Liu Ye had presented the Thunderbolt Chariot during the Battle of Cao Cao's Guandu and defeated Yuan Shao's archers.
It was just that Cao Biao had taken it out in advance. After modification and adding gears, its power was even more shocking!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Another round of attacks landed, and Xu Chang's guards were scared out of their wits and fled in all directions.
Liu Ting crawled up and killed the fleeing soldiers, wanting to stabilize the morale of the soldiers.
However, a huge stone bullet came straight at him.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Liu Ting was crushed before he could even scream.
"General Liu!"
Xun Yu roared in horror, his eyes bulging.
At this moment, he even regretted not surrendering just now!
"Rumble!"
The bombardment continued. After an unknown period of time, it finally stopped.
The dust settled.
Xun Yu crawled out and looked around. There were no guards. The city walls were covered in blood and bones. He could not help but feel at a loss.
" Xuchang is gone. My lord's foundation is gone…"
Xun Yu muttered and fell into the blood…
Cao Biao's army.
"Lord Wan Sheng!"
"Lord Wan Sheng!"
"Lord Wan Sheng!"
Thousands of soldiers were excited and raised their arms to shout. Their heroic spirit soared to the sky!
Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Chen Gong and the others also looked at Cao Biao in high spirits, their eyes filled with admiration…
Cao Biao pointed with his Overlord Spear and said coldly,"Take down Xuchang!"
