    Gao Lan was driving on a starry night when he suddenly saw a heavy dust storm ahead. Gao Lan looked around and saw the flag of his own army.  Gao Lan was overjoyed and rushed off on horseback.

    Cao Ren was leading his troops forward when he suddenly saw a group of remnant soldiers rushing towards him. Cao Ren frowned and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, so he ordered his troops to stop.  Gao Lan's figure gradually became clearer. Seeing how embarrassed Cao Ren was, he felt that most of his ominous premonitions had come true. He became anxious and asked quickly.

    "General Gao, why are you here! Is it Fancheng!!!?"

    "Captain, don't panic! Fancheng must not have been lost yet. A few days ago, I was leading my troops back to Fancheng for rescue. Unexpectedly, I was ambushed by Taishi Ci as soon as I arrived at the border of Fancheng, and most of the troops and horses were lost! Fancheng must be under attack by that army now.  "Commander, please come to the rescue quickly, otherwise Fancheng will be in danger!"

    Gao Lan quickly told the story, and Cao Ren's face changed drastically when he heard it.  At this time, the entire Cao army seemed to be enveloped in an extremely uneasy mood.  Only Jia Xu could remain calm, and Jia Xu quickly spoke out to appease Cao Ren.  Cao Ren stopped panicking for a moment and ordered the army to speed up, hoping that Fancheng would rush forward.

    It is said that at this time, under the city of Fancheng, more than 15,000 Liu Jun soldiers and horses, led by Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci, surrounded Fancheng.  Fancheng has been under fierce attack for more than ten days. Most of the 3,000 defenders in the city were killed or injured. It won't take long for Fancheng to be captured by Liu Jun.

    Cao Chun saw that the situation had reached its peak and there was nothing he could do, so he quickly came to Cheng Yu for discussion.

    "Fan City must not be lost. Otherwise, the governor's army's retreat will be cut off, and the morale of the army will be in chaos. At present, Fan City is heavily surrounded by the enemy's army, and it is difficult to send out scouts to report. What should we do?"

    At this time, Cheng Yu also had a cold expression on his face, his brows were furrowed, and after pondering for a while, he opened his mouth and said.

    "General, there is no need to worry. The military advisor is extremely intelligent. If he sends his army to the new field and sees that the enemy's army is very small, he will definitely notice something strange and will send troops back to Fancheng to rescue him!"

    When Cao Chun heard this, he calmed down a bit and nodded heavily in response.

    "What Cheng Zhonglang said is true. Before the rescue army moves, I will defend Fancheng to the death!"

    After Cao Chun said that, he looked at Cheng Yu and left in a hurry, going back to the city to prepare for the defense.  As soon as Cao Chung left, Cheng Yu's expression changed again, his eyes filled with sadness and helplessness.

    "I'm afraid that Jia Wenhe wants to abandon us! But Zhuge Liang is so good, it must be a serious problem for the prime minister in the future, and he must be eliminated urgently. If Jia Wenhe is really like this, it is reasonable."

    Cheng Yu finished thinking, let out a long sigh, and then closed his eyes.  At this time, Fancheng was heavily surrounded by Liu Jun soldiers and horses. Even if Cheng Yu tried to escape, he would have a narrow escape.  What's more, Cao Chun was worried about Cao Ren's safety and would not abandon Fancheng!

    The next day, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici led their troops to launch a fierce attack again. The entire Fancheng was shaken to the point of collapse by a crowd of 15,000 troops.  Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang had another military agreement before, saying that they would take Fancheng, otherwise Zhang Fei voluntarily sacrificed his head.  Zhang Fei was determined to die. Seeing that Fancheng could not be captured for a long time, he sent an order to the generals of each battalion before raising his army earlier.

    "If we don't break the city together within today, we will kill them all!"

    Generals Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci went to the city in person to supervise the troops to move earth and stones and fill trenches and trenches.  Cao Chun commanded the garrison on the city to block the attack. The city was hit with arrows like rain. Two of Liu Jun's generals fled back in fear. Zhang Fei shouted angrily and stabbed him to death at the bottom of the city with his spear. He then dismounted and filled the hole with earth.  As a result, all the officers and men, big and small, moved forward, and the military power was greatly enhanced.  Fancheng was violently attacked by Liu Jun for several days, and the walls on all sides were in disrepair and in tatters.  In addition, the defenders had few soldiers. Under such a fierce attack by Liu Jun, the defenders on the city gradually became unable to withstand the enemy. Zhang Fei led a group of troops to rush to the city first, cut the pass and locked it up, and the large army of soldiers and horses rushed in instantly.  Seeing that Fancheng could no longer be guarded, Cheng Yu hurried to look for Cao Chun. Cao Chun's eyes were red, the gun in his hand was dancing tightly, and his shirt was stained with blood.  When Cheng Yu saw Cao Chun and saw that his body was covered in blood, he felt horrified in his heart.

    "General Cao, retreat quickly, Fancheng can no longer be defended!!!"

    Cheng Yu roared loudly, but Cao Chun still refused to retreat.  Cheng Yu had no choice but to force several men to force Cao Chun to retreat.  Cheng Yu had made arrangements earlier and ordered soldiers to drive the people to the south gate.  When Cheng Yu arrived at the south gate with more than a hundred of his cavalry and Cao Chun, he immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, and then drove the people out.

    Under the threat of swords and guns, the people of Fancheng rushed out of the city in panic.  Liu Jun, who was outside the south gate of the city, suddenly saw the city gate open. He was overjoyed and prepared to rush in.  Unexpectedly, countless people rushed out of the city gate.  Suddenly, Liu's army at the south gate was in chaos and was thrown into chaos by the people.  Because Zhuge Liang had issued strict orders earlier not to harm the people of Fancheng.  The general Liu Jun who commanded the troops at the South Gate did not dare to order his soldiers to take action against the people who were charging towards them.

    Cheng Yu took advantage of Liu Jun's chaos and led more than a hundred of his cavalry to rush out from the south gate. He was about to take advantage of the chaos and escape.  At this moment, three loud bowstring sounds were fired in succession, and three fast and shadowless arrows were seen flying away, one arrow shot at Cheng Yu, and two arrows shot at Cao Chun.  Cheng Yu was frightenedSurprised, just when he was at a loss, a general of Cao's army beside him shouted angrily, rode forward and used his body to resist the arrow.  The arrow passed through the body, and the general of Cao's army fell off his horse and died. Another general of Cao's army beside Cheng Yu angrily took out his sword and cut off the arrow.  As for the other side, Cao Chun raised his spear and pierced one arrow, but the other arrow missed him and hit his right arm.  Cao Chun screamed miserably, and the surrounding soldiers rushed out to support him.

    "The person who fired the arrow just now was Tai Shici.  Taishi Ci's eyes were cold and he immediately led a group of cavalry to rush forward and intercept them.  Taishi Ci was chasing him, and at the same time he kept pulling the bow and arrow.  The officers and soldiers of Cao's army who were protecting Cao Chun and Cheng Yu tried their best to block them. Seeing that Taishi Ci's arrows were all fired, and the arrows were bound to kill one person, Cao Chun and Cheng Yu had fewer and fewer people around them, and they were about to be overtaken.  hour.

    Suddenly, there was a strong wind and sand outside Fancheng, and a huge crowd rushed in.  Xu Chu gritted his teeth, his tiger eyes were full of anger, and he led a cavalry army to the front, like a furious giant tiger, baring its teeth and claws and pounced straight at Taishi Ci.  Taishi Ci's expression tightened, and he quickly retracted his bow and raised his spear to attack.

    Between the lightning and flints, Xu Chu suddenly came to kill him. He slashed hard with his tiger-head broadsword. It was threatening to break the mountains and split the sea. Taishi Ci raised his spear to block it. There was a loud bang and sparks burst out.  Taishi Ci's expression changed again, secretly thinking that this guy's strength was terrifying.  Xu Chu shouted loudly, like a tiger's roar, shocking people's hearts, and the tiger-headed sword in his hand kept shaking violently.  Taishi Ci was killed and was helpless for a while, so he could only defend.  Then the tigers and leopards led by Xu Chu came to attack. Taishi Ci saw that the situation was not good and quickly fled on his horse.  Xu Chu led his troops to cover up the killing. Tai Shici's deployment was in chaos, and he fled in all directions.

    When Cheng Yu saw Xu Chu, he was surprised and happy, and hurriedly drove his troops away.  Xu Chu caught Cheng Yu and Cao Chun, and when he saw that both of them were injured, he became furious. He immediately raised his sword and charged into the crowd, chasing Taishi Ci.  Immediately afterwards, Cao Ren's army pressed forward, and Zhang Jia, Cao Hong, Li Dian and other Cao family soldiers led their troops and rushed forward to fight.

    Not long after Zhang Fei arrived in Fancheng, he saw countless Cao soldiers suddenly rushing outside the city. He was extremely anxious and hurriedly led his troops out of the city to resist.  Zhang Fei rode out of the city. Zhang Jia, Cao Hong, and Li Dian noticed him almost at the same time. They all fired up three weapons to attack Zhang Fei.  Zhang Fei shouted angrily with a thunderous voice, and without fear of counterattack, he fought with Zhang, Cao and Li like a lantern.  I saw that Zhang Fei was very brave, and the snake spear came out fast and fierce, cunning and urgent, and he killed Zhang, Cao, and Li without any advantage.

    On the other side, Xu Chu was chasing Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci was so unlucky that he suddenly turned around and killed him for a while.  Xu Chu's offensive was strong, but Taishi Ci was forced to retreat again.  Xu Chuhu was stunned and suddenly took out several stones from the bag on his waist. These stones were laughed at by Cao Cao and called "featherless arrows".

    Xu Chu grabbed three featherless arrows in one hand and pointed them behind Taishi Ci.  Taishi Ci felt the strong wind coming from behind. When he looked back, he saw three objects that were like lightning shooting towards him. Taishi Ci quickly moved to avoid two arrows without feathers, but the last one was shot away.  He failed and was hit in the helmet.  Taishi Ci shouted in pain and fell off his horse.  Xu Chujia spurred his horse to fly towards him. He raised his sword and lowered it, intending to kill Taishi Ci.  Unexpectedly, Tai Shi Ci got strength from nowhere and grabbed the thunder gun in time, quickly blocking Xu Chu's tiger-headed sword.  Xu Chu rushed past, and Taishi Ci quickly turned over and looked at Xu Chu with a wary expression.

    At the same time, the two armies of Cao and Liu were fighting to the death.  Behind Cao Jun, there was another gust of wind and dust.  I saw two generals, Pan Feng and Hua Xiong, suddenly approaching with two troops.  Cao Ren, who was commanding the troops in the rear, was suddenly shocked.  Pan Feng rode his horse and wielded his ax, breaking through the crowd, as if entering a deserted land, and was heading towards Cao Ren to kill him.  Gao Lan quickly raised his gun and rushed to resist.  Jia Xu hurriedly told Cao Ren to retreat. Cao Ren came to his senses and led a group of troops to retreat all the way.  Pan Feng rushed to attack Gao Lan, and the two of them killed more than a dozen people. Gao Lan could not resist and escaped with the support of soldiers.  Hua Xiong led another army to kill Cao Jun's right wing, and encountered Xu Chu and Tai Shi Ci fighting.

    "Ziwei, this guy is so powerful! Come here quickly to help, you and I will attack this guy together!"

    Taishi Ci shouted, and after hearing this, Hua Xiong immediately mounted his horse and killed him.  Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Chu didn't wait for Hua Xiong to arrive, and used all his strength to attack Tai Shi Ci, swinging his legs to escape on horseback.  Two generals, Taishi Ci and Hua Xiong, followed closely behind and charged wildly into the tide of Cao's soldiers, killing them until Cao's soldiers screamed in agony.

    At the same time, Zhang Jaw saw that the battle situation was not going well. Both the rear army and the central army were attacked, which was a great chaos.  Zhang Jia did not dare to fight for a long time, so he quickly told Cao Hong and Li Dian to retreat quickly.  When Cao Hong and Li Dian heard this, they both struck hard, forced Zhang Fei away, and fled on horseback.  Zhang Jia also took the opportunity to rein in his horse and run away.  Zhang Fei was in the mood to kill, but he was not willing to give up. He shouted, brandished his snake spear, and chased the three generals closely.

    Seeing the situation, Cao Ren knew that the defeat was certain, so he immediately sent out fast cavalry, had people blow the horns, and ordered the troops to withdraw.  As soon as the trumpet sounded, the soldiers of Cao's army no longer had the will to fight, and they all fled madly.  Cao General Han Hao was unable to escape, but Pan Feng caught up with him and knocked him off his horse with an axe.  Xu Chu died in a battle with Tai Shi CiGeneral Hua Xiong fought his way to escape.
