Cao Cao, who was running back and looking back at the city tower, saw Gao Shun disappearing. The defenders on the city tower divided a group of people and ran back and knew it.

"Miaocai has arrived."

He immediately stopped the war horse, turned the direction, and pointed the sword towards the sky.

"The entire army obeyed the order, leaving only 20,000 people to attack the city, and the rest of the troops were all dispatched to siege the enemy out of the city, killing..."

With a wave of his hand, not only did he draw tens of thousands of people from the army that had attacked the city before and come to kill them, but also the 20,000 soldiers and horses that were originally under the formation in the rear, all headed towards the 25,000 Han troops outside the city gate.

Cao Cao arranged an army of 80,000 outside the east gate. In addition to the thousands who had died in the bloody battle today, there were 20,000 people who continued to attack the city, and the remaining 50,000 troops all started fighting, and soon surrounded the 25,000 Han troops.

"Oh no, the plan of the thief in the middle Cao led the snake out of the cave."

Several generals protected the army with regret on their faces.

"Hey, I should have listened to General Gao's words long ago and should not be greedy for merit and make progress. Now it's too late to regret it."

"Hey, why are the brothers so depressed? Although Cao's army is powerful, how can we stand up to me? We will fight and retreat slowly, retreat slowly to the city, and then put down the gate. The gate is as heavy as ten thousand pounds. Even if the enemy wants to resist, how can we do it?"

When this person said this, everyone felt enlightened and each of them was cheered up.

"Brothers, set up square formations, and everything is necessary to defend, and you should not easily break out of the formation."

Under the arrangement of these generals, the formation was quickly adjusted, and the soldiers who were originally fighting outside also ran back one after another.

This square formation is a four-sided formation with the heavy shield soldiers of the Han Wuzhang and the big sword soldiers among ordinary soldiers, standing in a four-sided formation, while the spear soldiers, spear soldiers, and another thousand soldiers holding powerful crossbows stood in the formation.

When Cao's soldiers rushed over, the heavy shield soldiers and the big sword soldiers cooperated tacitly, one side was responsible for resisting the attack, and the other side stabbed or slashed with a big sword to kill the enemy. The spearmen and spearmen in the rear assisted in killing the enemy. The strong crossbow soldiers at the end kept firing crossbow arrows to disrupt the enemy's rush.

Cao Cao was slightly surprised: "I didn't expect that the Han army would lose commander Gao Shun, but it would not disrupt the morale of the army at all. Ordinary generals and soldiers could also achieve the sameness of Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, adapting to changes in the battle formation. If such talents were under my command, they could be in charge of a county and fighting with the army, and they could command tens of thousands of soldiers, second only to generals such as Xiahou Cao. I don't expect that such talented people would emerge in the Luoyang court army, which is really terrifying. But..."

He suddenly grinned: "They are afraid that after the city gate, there is a lot of chaos now, and no one will open the floodgates for them. It would be a pity that such an elite would die here."

Guo Jia walked to him and whispered: "The Emperor of Luoyang, Guan Yu, Gao Shun and other generals under his command, have been eating and living in the army all year round, chatting with the soldiers, and are educated and promoted. Ordinary soldiers were almost illiterate. After years of guidance, they were able to accumulate knowledge. After several years of training, they were also able to practice in a hundred battles for several years. There were military rules and regulations restricted from the side. Some of those with high understanding naturally gradually stood out, from soldiers to generals, and from generals to command."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Liu He's child is indeed an example of military strategist training. Unfortunately, he used this method in the court, which made scholars and farmers not distinguish between scholars and farmers, and the industry and commerce were in chaos. How could scholars in the world be convinced? No wonder many ministers in Luoyang repeatedly resisted and quelled the disasters of Chen Ji and others. Now I heard that there are many ministers in the court with resentment, and few scholars from all directions went to Luoyang to exert their efforts. This shows the deep trouble. If it weren't for this, Cao would join him and be a capable minister in governing the world, and he would not have been able to leave his name in history."

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Yes, instead of waiting until the Luoyang court falls apart again and the people suffer because of this, it is better for the lord to take charge of the Han Dynasty to stabilize the overall situation and make the country and the people the most beneficial."

Cao Cao was very helpful to his words, and his expression also eased a lot.

He looked at the battle situation ahead and said, "Gao Shun has not appeared on the city tower again. It seems that Miaocai's offensive has been quite smooth. He ordered the other two gates to temporarily stop the offensive, leaving half of the troops to station outside the city gate to prevent the defenders in the city from escaping. The other half of the troops will go to the west gate immediately and try every means to break through the gate."

More than 200,000 Cao troops outside the city were mobilized quickly, but in the city, nearly half of Cao troops in the west gate were killed and injured, and the two gates in the north and south were extremely quiet. Only at the east gate, Xiahou Yuan personally led his troops and horses, rushed around and rushed left and right.

Although the east gate had arranged 50,000 troops, 25,000 were surrounded after leaving the city, and at least more than 10,000 people were left to defend the city, so as not to be attacked by Cao's army in the city, leaving only more than 10,000 soldiers. After being attacked, they quickly retreated for a moment, and could not resist Xiahou Yuan's rush to attack.

"General, the situation has changed drastically. Please avoid it for a while."

A team of personal guards pulled Gao Shun and was about to escape, but Gao Shun broke free.

"As the commander of the three armies, how can you escape at the last minute?"

"But Xiahou Yuan's shooting skills are great. If he rushed closer, wouldn't it be..."

Gao Shun interrupted them directly, and he held the spear in his hand: "I am not powerless, how can I sit and wait for death? I will follow my guards and kill the enemy."

"promise!"

Gao Shun got off the city tower and stepped onto the war horse.

His war horse was the spoils obtained from the Jizhou Palace after defeating Yuan Shao. It is said that Yuan Shao bought it for a lot of money. He walked like a flying horse and named it the Lightning Horse. He was given to Gao Shun by Liu He.

However, Gao Shun rarely charges in person, so he rarely rides onto the battlefield. In the past few years, this BMW has been extremely lonely. At this moment, he also felt the murderous aura coming from the battlefield. When he saw his master stepping on his horse's back, he seemed to realize that he had finally had a place to use his skills. He immediately jumped high and neighed to the sky.

Gao Shun showed a rare smile, bent down, and stroked the mane of the Lightning Horse: "Lightning Horse, Lightning Horse, I have been following Gao for several years, but Gao has wronged you. Today, you and I will fight side by side, let's have a lot of fun."

"Xilulu..." The lightning horse seemed to understand the owner's mind. Its right front hooves slashed the ground a few times, and bursts of heat came out of its nostrils.

Gao Shun straightened his body and pointed his spear forward: "Kill it!"

The guards behind him were all fighting with high spirits and rushed forward with a roar. Gao Shun took the lead. He was a plum blossom gun in his hand. Whenever he stabbed out, he would take the life of a Cao army soldier.

When Xiahou Yuan saw him committing suicide, he was excited: "What a Gao Shun, you are here to die, and you are saving a lot of energy from a certain family, but if you can kill you, this first skill will be in my pocket."

He took off his longbow on his back, bent his bow and arrow, and aimed at Gao Shun who was galloping and killing the enemy.

With just a "swish" sound, there was a faint sound of breaking through the air. I knew that the power of this arrow was so strong that it would be possible to sink half a minute if it was a stone city wall.

Gao Shun moved his ears and heard the sharp sound, he knew that Xiahou Yuan was shooting an arrow.

Although he did not have the ability to distinguish positions from Liu He, Guan Yu and others, he had long seen the location of Xiahou Yuan. Even if he lowered his head to kill Cao's soldiers, he could still guess the direction of the arrow flying.

At the first moment when the sound came, Gao rushed to raise a Cao army soldier he stabbed and threw it towards Xiahou Yuan.

"puff……"

The sharp arrow shot into the body of the Cao army soldier accurately and then quickly penetrated out and continued to fly in.

However, the sharp arrow at this moment was at the end of its strength, and its strength had disappeared by 90%. Gao Shun raised his gun and slapped the arrow to the ground.

At the same time, the moment he threw the soldier out, Gao slapped the war horse and rushed forward from the other direction.

"Well? I didn't expect that Gao Shun had some martial arts."

Xiahou Yuan was slightly surprised, but soon laughed again.

"Hmph, if Guan Yu and others are here, I have to retreat. Even if you Gao Shun have martial arts skills, how many pounds can you be? It is rare to block my arrow. Even if you compete for gunfire, how could I be afraid of you?"

He then grabbed a war horse and faced Gao Shun.
