The generals were stunned.

Cao Xing and other generals who had not yet expressed their stance were all shocked to the point of being frightened, even if they had the heart to surrender to Cao, they did not dare to squeak again.

Seeing that Guan Yu suppressed the hearts of the generals with bloody means, Chen Gong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Guan is reasonable, Cao thief is cruel and unkind, if we surrender to Cao, we will definitely die!"

Chen Gong first agreed, and then arched his hand: "General Guan, I'm afraid that Xiapi City can't be defended, let's take advantage of the fact that the flood has not receded and the Cao thief has not yet attacked the city, quickly build a raft to break through from the north gate, and go to Qingzhou to join Yuan Dagongzi." "

He thought that Guan Yu just didn't want to surrender to Cao, so he followed Liu Bei and defected to the Yuan family, so there should be no objections.

Mended.

Guan Yu slashed his blood knife and said sharply: "Ben will neither surrender to Cao nor abandon the city, I will lead you to defend Xiapi to the death, and wait until my brother moves in for reinforcements!"

Chen Gong was stunned.

Guan Yu's answer was completely beyond his expectations.

"General Guan, now is not the time to be rash. "

"Cao thief flooded, the army spirit collapsed, the city wall collapsed, and we were unable to hold on for ten days. "

"There is no way to defend it, and breaking through is the best policy. "

Chen Gong hurriedly persuaded again.

Guan Yu's brows were deep, and he didn't know in his heart that there was little hope of sticking to Xiapi.

but

He kept in mind that Liu Bei told him before leaving, that he must guard Xiapi.

Xiapi City is the governance of Xuzhou Prefecture, as long as Xiapi City is in hand, and Cao Cao will be repelled in the future, and Xuzhou counties will be ordered.

This city is here, and Liu Bei has the opportunity to make a comeback and recapture Xuzhou.

Now that Liu Bei is planning to get rid of Lu Bu, it is easy to get Xia Pi back, if it is lost in his hands, what face does he have to face Liu Bei!

Therefore, even if there is little hope, Guan Yu has to defend Xiapi.

"All I know is that my brother told me to stay for ten days until he returns. "

"Even if the city is broken now, I will never abandon the city and flee!"

Guan Yu resolutely vetoed Chen Gong's proposal.

Chen Gong was irritated by Guan Yu's pedantic obsession.

He rebuked sharply: "Guan Yunchang, there is a reason not to give the order of the foreign monarch, do you understand, you obviously can't keep it, why do you have to be stupid to guard it, and give your life in vain!"

"I don't care!"

"In short, this is my brother's order, even if he tells me to die, I Guan Yu is duty-bound!"

Guan Yu roared wildly, his bare face distorted to the point of being creepy.

He raised his Qinglong knife and said sharply: "I, Guan Yu, want to defend Xiapi to the death, and you must also accompany me to defend Xiapi, who dares to say that Cao Cao or abandon the city and flee, don't blame me for being ruthless under the knife!"

The blade of blood was only an inch away from the door of Chen Gong.

As long as Guan Yu's hand was raised slightly, he could cut him in two.

Chen Gong was stunned, so frightened that he took two steps back, and looked at Guan Yu, who was almost crazy, in amazement, and didn't dare to question it anymore.

The old generals of Lu Bu, such as Cao Xing on the left and right, were all intimidated by Guan Yu's might, and they didn't dare to take a breath of the atmosphere.

Guan Yudao was put away, and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly carry the soil and carry the stones, fill the gap, and prepare to fight to the death to defend the city!"

The soldiers of the defending army woke up in shock, and no one dared to disobey Guan Yu's orders, and hurriedly acted according to the order.

...

The flood has been going on for two full days.

Guan Yu did not hesitate to force the people of Xiapi to go to the city to fill in the soil.

Rao is like this, the walls of the four gates of earth, under the soak of the flood, cracked everywhere, and collapsed everywhere.

The western city wall, which faced the flood, even collapsed directly into a one-zhang wide opening.

Guan Yu mobilized 3,000 people and fought hard for a whole night before he could barely seal the collapsed gap.

It was dark, and the flood water finally abated a little.

Just when Guan Yu wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, Cao Jun's offensive had already begun.

Outside the West Gate.

Cao Cao gave an order, and tens of thousands of Cao troops rode the bamboo talisman tied in advance and followed the water to the city.

With the rising water level, Cao Jun was only two people high from the city wall, and he could climb the city wall with his bare hands without even using a ladder.

The siege begins.

The Divine Arm Bow was launched, and countless arrows rained down like flying locusts, overwhelmingly attacking the city.

Countless soldiers of the Cao army rushed to climb towards the city.

In the blink of an eye, the city wall that stretched for a hundred steps was already full of Cao Jun.

Guan Yu ran back and forth, scolding the panicked defenders, desperately resisting.

Cao Xing and the other defenders seemed to be completely shocked by Guan Yu's killing, and in the face of Cao Jun's onslaught, they did not collapse at the slightest touch.

To no avail.

A mere 2,000 panicked army could withstand the onslaught of tens of thousands of Cao troops.

In less than half an hour, the line along the city was broken through by Cao's army everywhere.

The Cao army, which had ascended to the top of the city, was like a tiger and wolf, and slashed at the defenders whose fighting spirit had collapsed.

Blood stained the sky over Xicheng.

Guan Yu's hand rose and fell, and his hand rose and fell, and he didn't know how many Cao Jun had been knocked to the ground.

Pity.

He Rao is a martial artist with ten thousand enemies, and it is difficult to reverse the defeat by himself.

"General Guan, the last general will risk death to admonish, we can't hold the city of Pi, abandon the city and break through!"

The subordinate general Fu Shiren persuaded him bitterly.

Guan Yu was furious, the Qinglong knife was on his neck, and he shouted angrily: "Ben General said, who dares to abandon the city and immediately kill him, you are so bold!"

Fu Shiren fell to his knees and burst into tears.

"General Guan is now the only reliance of the lord, if he is folded in Xiapi City, who will assist the lord Kuang to help the Han family. "

"The last general is not greedy for life and afraid of death, the last general just wants to persuade the general to take the great cause of the lord as the priority!"

Fu Shiren grasped Guan Yu's weakness and persuaded him hard.

Guan Yu's heart froze, and the anger on his face collapsed in an instant.

"He's right, I can't die, my big brother still needs me!"

"The eldest brother has lost the third brother, he can't lose me anymore, I, Guan Yu, must not fold here!"

After Guan Yu comforted himself, the Qinglong knife was put away, and he shouted in a low voice: "Quickly send us a command to follow me from the north gate to break through." "

Fu Shiren breathed a sigh of relief, but asked: "General Guan, what should Chen Gong Cao do with them, do you want to order them to break through together?"

Guan Yu turned his head and looked at the old Lu Bu troops who were fighting to the death, but there was only indifference in his eyes.

"They are all subordinates of the three family slaves, they are all capricious, and they will not be loyal to their brothers, so let them go and fight to the death against the Cao thief!"

Guan Yu snorted coldly, turned over and rode away.

Fu Shiren had a cold war, so he had to turn over and follow Guan Yu.

...

Highlands outside the city, Cao Ying.

Cao Yuan was sitting outside the tent, tasting Xiao Qiao's freshly boiled crucian carp soup, and admiring the siege battle of Cao's army in the distance.

A Caozi battle flag has been raised over the west gate.

"Husband, our army has captured the city gate!"

"Your plan to flood Pi is really a stroke of genius, so that my uncle can break Pi so easily. "

Xiahou Juan was amazed and looked at Cao Yuan with admiration.

Cao Yuan sighed: "It's a pity, the big-eared thief went to Yuan Tan for help first, so that he could escape." "

Xiahou Juan said: "Although Liu Bei has escaped, Chen Gong Guan Yu and others are trapped in Xiapi City, and none of them can escape. "

"Guan Yu won't sit still. "

Cao Yuan smiled coldly and asked, "Our uncle, can you arrange people to go to the north gate to intercept?"

Xiahou Juan hurriedly said: "Uncle listened to his husband's reminder, and has sent Zhao Zilong to lead Chima Yi to ambush in the direction of the north to prevent Guan Yu from escaping. "

"Zilong?"

Cao Yuan's face changed slightly, "Sikong actually sent Zilong to intercept Guan Yu?"

"It's Zilong, he's the first fierce general of our Cao Ying, isn't it appropriate to send him to intercept Guan Yu?"

Xiahou Juan asked rhetorically.

Cao Yuanjian's eyebrows condensed, and he said in a deep voice: "Zilong's martial arts are comparable to Guan Yu, but he attaches too much importance to love and righteousness, and I am afraid that he will not be able to bear to intercept and kill Guan Yu when he remembers his past friendship." "

Xiahou Juan's face changed: "Husband is saying that Zilong may let Guan Yu go?"

Cao Yuan was silent.

"Uncle has strict military discipline, if Zilong really lets Guan Yu go, his uncle will definitely deal with him by military law, what should I do then?"

Xiahou Juan couldn't help but sweat for Zhao Yun.

Cao Yuan's thoughts turned, and he said: "It's too late to ask Cao Gong to change people now, and I have to go there in person for my husband." "

When Xiahou Juan hadn't reacted yet.

Cao Yuan had already turned over and mounted his horse, took Xu Chu and a team of Yan Yunwei, galloped out of the camp, and went straight to the north of Xiapi.
