Everyone was lost in thought after hearing this, and they were also very worried about this matter. Without a siege engine, it is equivalent to a tiger without teeth. Even if Xuzhou City can be taken down, I am afraid that 20 horses will be very few left!

Xia Houyuan, who had never expressed his opinion at this time, spoke up and said to the crowd:

"Brothers, if there is still kerosene in Xuzhou City, our siege engines will inevitably be burned. Unless we don't use siege engines and only use siege ladders, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."

Xia Houyuan paused, then continued to speak:

"However, I have a bold idea. I wonder if a few brothers are willing to listen?"

Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Xiahou Dun all asked impatiently after hearing this:

"Hurry up, don't keep it up!"

Xia Houyuan saw that everyone was very anxious, without hesitation, he said directly:

"That's our one bet! Just bet that there will be no fire oil in Xuzhou City! If the bet is right, Xuzhou City will be destroyed in the near future. If the bet is wrong, the last siege engine will also be reduced to scorched earth. I can use my brother's life to go to the heap."

After everyone heard Xia Houyuan's words, they began to think about it. First of all, Cao Ren figured it out, and said to everyone:

"I think what Miaocai said is right. We are all leaders on the battlefield. If you don't dare to gamble, how can you lead troops to fight! I agree to gamble tomorrow! All consequences will be borne by me alone!"

After hearing Cao Ren's words, everyone expressed their agreement, but several of them said at the same time:

"Even if it's really a wrong bet, you can't let Zixiao bear it alone, and I'm willing to bear it together!"

When Cao Ren saw that these brothers were willing to take on this matter for him, he felt hot and said:

"Then it's decided! Continue to attack the city tomorrow morning!"

Soon, the sky gradually brightened, and green smoke billowed from the barracks. After the soldiers had breakfast, Cao Ren led the army to the outside of the city again.

Cao Bao didn't dare to sleep any more after he was awakened by the sound of killing the day before. Instead, he woke up early, arranged for the soldiers to eat, and then continued to carry rolling stones and wood to the city wall, and called in more soldiers. arrows.

Cao Bao was patrolling the city wall, when he saw movement in Cao Jun's camp outside the city, he hurried to the top of the city gate, and said to the soldiers along the way:

"Cao's army is about to attack the city again, so cheer me up. This time, Cao's army has no siege vehicles. Let's see how they attack."

Cao Ren said nothing.Directly ordering the siege, this time they are also gambling, if they really fail, they will probably suffer heavy casualties.

Although they attacked the city continuously, the soldiers of Cao Jun still rushed towards the city wall in an endless stream.

Cao Bao on the city wall was also as usual, and when the soldiers of Cao Jun rushed to the city wall, they began to shoot arrows.

Just when Cao Jun was attacking the city and Xuzhou Army was defending the city, Cao Bao saw another siege engine appearing in Cao Jun's formation from a distance.

Seeing the siege vehicles, the Xuzhou army was a little overwhelmed. Cao Bao was even more surprised. His mouth was so wide that he could put a goose egg in it!

Of course, such a large siege engine has also been seen by Tao Qian on the city wall. Tao Qian was also very surprised, and asked Cao Bao in a panic:

"General Cao, why does Cao Jun still have a siege engine? We have run out of kerosene, what should we do this time?"

When Cao Bao heard his lord's question, he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say:

"My lord, don't worry, even if Cao Jun still has siege vehicles? I believe that under my command, the soldiers will definitely be able to stop Cao Jun's attack! Don't let them step into Xuzhou!"

Tao Qian was helpless after hearing Cao Bao's words, although he knew that as long as Cao Jun had a siege engine, and his own side had no kerosene, he had to use rolling stones to pile up wood!

While the two were talking, the siege engine arrived at the gate of the city under the leadership of Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, and Cao Hong.

After Xiahou Dun gave an order, Cao Jun soldiers began to push the siege vehicles to hit the city gate.

Even though Cao Bao reacted quickly and killed some people with rolling stones and wood, the siege engine continued to hit the city gate of Xuzhou unharmed!

At this time, Tao Qian was already an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth on the city wall, unable to stop at all, and already profusely sweating.

Tao Qian was very worried about this battle, so he hurriedly said to Cao Bao:

"Hurry up and add more people to the city gate, and be sure to stop Cao Jun outside the city!"

So Cao Bao heard what the lord said again for safety reasons, and finally added 3000 troops to the city gate!In case the city gate is broken, Cao Jun can be blocked outside the city!

Everyone knows that Cao Cao regards Xuzhou as an enemy. If he enters Xuzhou, he will definitely massacre the city.

So Tao Qian was going to tell Cao Bao to let all the men in the city go up the wall to resist Cao Cao's army together.

Just after the city gate was hit dozens of times by siege vehicles, there was a loud bang, and the city gate was finally knocked down to the ground!

When the city gate fell to the ground, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and Cao Hong rushed towards the city with their soldiers and horses.

As a result, as soon as he rushed to the city gate, he saw many soldiers guarding the other end of the city gate!

Xiahou Dun and the others were not afraid, and directly led the army to rush into the city!

In this way, the two armies faced each other at the gate of the city, and the battle between the two sides was imminent. Xiahou Dun was brave, rushed directly into the crowd, and began to kill all directions!

Soon the 2 horses at the city gate would eventually be unable to withstand Cao Jun's attack. Just when Tao Qian was about to give up, he saw thick smoke billowing away from the mountains and forests, rushing towards Cao Jun.

As soon as the city gate was breached, Lu Bu and others saw that Cao Jun had already rushed towards the city gate, and both sides had already handed over their hands.

Xu Chu, who had been beside Lu Bu at this moment, spoke to the crowd and said:

"General, this should be considered an opportunity, right? Can we kill it?"

Lu Bu also knew that if he didn't kill at this time, he might have no chance, and in the end he could only attack the city like Cao Jun.

Lu Bu looked at Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, and others at the side, and said to them:

"Brothers, prepare to mount! Let's kill! Kill Cao Cao's army!"

After everyone heard Lu Bu's words, they hurriedly packed up their belongings, got on their horses, and prepared to attack Cao Jun's rear.

Lu Bu waited for the soldiers to be ready, Fang Tian painted a halberd in his hand, and then pointed in the direction of Cao Cao's army attacking Xuzhou, and shouted:

"Brothers, get out!"

After the order was given, the 20 horses brought along followed the generals Mai Lu Bu, Xu Chu, and Zhang Liao, and killed Cao Jun.

At this moment, Cao Ren is still happy that he has broken through the city gate of Xuzhou.
