The remnant army continued:"This is simply a trap. As soon as we rushed in, we were surrounded by countless enemy forces! General Hou Cheng wanted to buy more time for you, General, so he hesitated for a while. As a result, If you want to withdraw again, it's already too late!"

"He was directly blocked by the enemy general Gan Ning, but was killed in just two rounds!"

"We also tried our best to escape!"

Since they all looked like they were about to survive, even if Cao Xing hadn't been here, they would have continued to escape, as far away as possible.

Obviously, they had been frightened.

"Why....."

After hearing this, Cao Xing was speechless for a long time. All his emotions finally turned into a sigh. He waved his hand and said,"Follow me back to the city! It's not safe here!"

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and ran towards Tancheng.

"How's it going? Did you make it? What about the rest? Where is Hou Cheng?"

As soon as he came back, Chen Gong greeted him. When he saw that only Cao Xing came back, but Hou Cheng was not there, and even only more than 2,000 of the 20,000 people they brought out came back, his expression changed drastically. asked

"Sacrificed! All sacrificed! The enemy had already anticipated this and set an ambush in the camp!"

Cao Xing smiled bitterly and shook his head with a lonely look on his face.

"What?

After hearing this, Chen Gong's expression changed and he asked urgently:"What's going on?" What about the mission? Did the enemy's catapult burn the oil?"

If this has not been completed, then how can we suffer a big loss this time!

In fact, even now, Chen Gong already feels that the loss is huge.

He lost nearly 20,000 horses at once, occupying one-third of Tan City. The strength of one army was enough to break the muscles and bones.

Cao Xing's next words made him sigh in relief:"Only this point was basically successful! I guess the enemy didn't expect me to be so decisive! It’s a blessing among misfortunes!"

"call!"

When Chen Gong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief:"That's good! That’s good!

He reached out and patted Cao Xing on the shoulder and said,"Thank you for your hard work, General!" You go and have a rest quickly! We have to defend the city tomorrow!"

"Here!"........

One night passed quickly, and on the next day and two, fierce oil tanks flew in the sky again, and they looked at the dozens of trebuchets standing intact in the distance.

Chen Gong turned to look at Cao Xing gloomily and in astonishment.

Cao Xing also looked in disbelief:"This is impossible! Why are there trebuchets and heavy fire oil? I clearly saw those trebuchets being lit!"

He was not sure whether the heavy fire oil was burned or not. After all, they were all in the camp, but he clearly saw the trebuchet burning?

"It can’t be extinguished and repaired in time, right?"

This can't catch up at all.

As for newly built or transported from the rear, it's even more impossible!

Cao Xing can't understand it at all.

"Why! Chen

Gongwei sighed:"It seems that the general was fooled by Gan Ning!" I'm afraid, those trebuchets he burned for you are all fake! It’s just a shelf deliberately arranged and built!"

"I...."

Cao Xing was speechless after hearing this.

He didn't think it before, but now after what Chen Gong said and the reality that was clear before his eyes, he understood that what Chen Gong said was the most likely.

Chen Gong waved his hands feebly and said:"Don't say anything! Prepare to defend the city! I'm afraid there will be a tough battle today! I hope I can defend it! In addition, I can only ask for help from the lord! Please get 1- We are supported by 20,000 troops!"

Chen Gong has already prepared for the worst.

Currently, there is a shortage of cavalry in the city, and most of their cavalry were sacrificed yesterday.

He hoped that Lu Bu could support a group of cavalry and constantly harass the enemy. Only in this way could it be possible to defeat the enemy step by step.

"That’s all it can do!"

Cao Xing nodded and immediately continued to command the soldiers to defend the city, while Chen Gong immediately wrote a letter asking for help and sent it out.

Soon, the brutal siege battle began again.

Under several waves of fierce fire , After the bombardment, Gan Ning ordered the soldiers to charge and attack the city.

Chen Gong wrote the letter and handed it directly to a sentry rider. Then the sentry rider went straight to the north gate and rode north.

"bump!!"

After running no more than 2 miles, a rope suddenly jumped out of the ground and was very tight.

The sentry rider didn't pay attention, and the horse he was sitting on was tripped by the rope.

Then he jumped directly from the horse. It flew out.

Fortunately, at this moment, a figure flashed out from the jungle on the side. He raised his hand and grabbed the man's back, which slowed down the impact of the projectile and prevented the man from falling to death.

"Thanks.....Who are you...."

When the man saw that he had been rescued, he wanted to say thank you with a look of relief on his face, but when he turned around and saw the hidden guard with his face covered, his eyes widened immediately. With his bright mind, he immediately thought that he would be thrown away. Going out, it was probably this person who did it, so I wanted to break away and ask questions.

Unexpectedly, the secret guard slashed the sentry rider's neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious.

"Boss, what a skill! I can actually handle this!"

The next moment, four or five secret guards ran out from the jungle on both sides. One of them smiled and gave a thumbs up to the secret guard who captured the person!

"that is! that is! This is not something ordinary people can do!"

"really!"

Others also echoed

"alright! Stop flattering! Just work hard to practice from now on! Sooner or later I will reach this point!"

The secret guard leader rolled his eyes, shook the hostage in his hand and said,"Hurry up and deal with this person, let's see what information he brings!"

The reason they intercepted this sentry was for information!

Soon, several people skillfully found a secret letter from this person, directly used a fire to soften the sealing wax, and then carefully took out the letter inside. After reading it again and understanding the information on the ground, they put it back and sealed it with wax again.

Of course, before baking it, they had asked a secret guard who was good at carving to write down the wax seal. The pattern of the seal.

The secret guard who was good at engraving quickly carved out a seal and pressed it on the soft sealing wax.

"Done! Go back to him! Let me and we can withdraw!"

Seeing that everything was all right, the captain of the secret guard smiled and tidied up the unconscious sentry, then put him on the side of the road. He also thoughtfully led the horse over to confirm that the horse had only suffered a lot. The injury was minor, nothing serious, so he left quickly....

Not long after, two homing pigeons soared into the sky, one heading north, the other heading south, and flew away quickly.......

"Well.....hiss! Depend on! My neck hurts so much!"

More than ten minutes later, the sentry rider finally woke up and felt the pain coming from his neck. He gasped and touched it with his hands, then sat up from the ground. He had not recovered at first.......
