    The attack just now took most of a day, and Cao's army achieved little results. They only shot to death a dozen Black Scale Army soldiers. Other than that, they did not achieve any results.

    On the contrary, Liu Zhe gained considerable results. Several ladders were destroyed or abandoned, a well was destroyed, and more than half of the archers on it were killed or injured. In addition to the damage to the attacking infantry, Cao Cao lost all his strength in one afternoon.  Nearly a thousand soldiers.  (To prevent readers from misunderstanding, let me explain here that casualties include death and disability, not all deaths.)

    Even though Cao Cao had an army of 60,000, his heart ached terribly.  If one thousand soldiers were lost in one afternoon, then maybe two or three thousand soldiers would be lost in one day. After fighting for a few days, Cao Cao would have no soldiers left.

    Cao Cao directly ordered to postpone the attack, let the soldiers rest and repair, and continue the attack tomorrow.

    In the evening, Cao Cao took a group of his men to see if there was a better way to capture Tongguan. After discussing for a whole night, except for many people getting a black eye, nothing was gained.  Facing a powerful pass like Tongguan, there really is no other way but to attack by force.

    So early the next morning, after Cao Hong received the order, he continued to lead his troops to attack.

    Facing the comeback of Cao Jun, Zhao Yun commanded the Black Scale Army to respond calmly. However, today Cao Jun's attack intensity increased. They kept attacking the city wall. The ladder was knocked down and re-erected. The ladder was broken and replaced with a new one.

    Such repeated attacks greatly increased the pressure on the Black Scale Army on the city wall. In the end, they had to use kerosene, pour kerosene on the ladders, and burn all the ladders.

    The raging fire forced Cao Jun to retreat. Although Cao Jun's attack was repelled, Zhao Yun did not show any joy on his face. This was just the beginning, and there was not much kerosene in Tongguan City. If you use some, you will get less. There is no way to replenish it.  .

    After the fire under the city wall was extinguished, Cao Cao's army continued to attack. Cao Cao planned to attack the city day and night and not give Liu Zhe's men a chance to breathe.

    Cao Cao looked at Tongguan and saw his soldiers climbing up the city wall densely. He sneered at the corner of his mouth and said: "There are only 20,000 people. As long as they attack day and night, I don't believe they can last long. What's more, Zixiao has already arrived, right?"

    Although Tongguan was in the hands of Liu Zhe, it could not completely seal the connection between Cao Cao and Cao Ren. The messengers they sent over the mountains could still deliver the news to their opponents.

    Cao Ren has sent people to spread the news that his army is already on the way. Counting the days now, it should be there soon.

    Mao Jie nodded in agreement and said: "When the two sides attack, nearly 150,000 troops will take turns to attack. Liu Zhe's men will have no choice but to cope with it, and they will definitely not be able to resist."

    "Humph, Liu Zhe will definitely regret it." Cao Cao snorted coldly.

    He looked at Tongguan coldly, wishing he could capture Tongguan immediately, capture Liu Zhe alive, and then deal with him properly.

    At this moment, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly froze, and he saw a line of wolf smoke rising in the distance behind Tongguan.

    Seeing the smoke rising, Cao Cao was overjoyed and laughed loudly. This was the signal agreed between Cao Ren and Cao Cao. As soon as Cao Ren arrived, he would light the smoke and tell Cao Cao on the other side.

    "Haha, Zixiao is here, Liu Zhe, let me see what you can do this time."

    "Light the smoke and send the order. Two days later, the whole army will attack. Cooperate with Zixiao and attack from both sides"

    ?¡­

    There was a wolf smoke on the west side of Tongguan. I don't need to think that the enemy's aid is coming, and Zhao Yun's face is even worse.

    Just dealing with the attack from Cao Cao's side was already a bit stressful, and the enemy came from the other side. Both sides had to deal with the enemy's attack, and the pressure suddenly increased.

    The enemy has not yet attacked, but Zhao Yun has already felt the pressure.

    "My lord, Cao Cao" Zhao Yun went to find Liu Zhe, but Liu Zhe knew it before he finished speaking.

    Knowing that the enemy was coming for reinforcements, Liu Zhe didn't have any surprised expression on his face. It seemed that he had expected that the enemy would come from the other side.

    Liu Zhe smiled slightly at Zhao Yun and said, "Don't worry, I already know."

    Cao Ren's appearance was completely unexpected by Liu Zhe. If Cao Ren hadn't come, he would have been surprised and worried.

    When Zhao Yun saw this, he couldn't help but ask: "My lord, did you already know this earlier?"

    He saw that Liu Zhe's face was as normal, and he subconsciously relaxed in his heart. If Liu Zhe had guessed it early on, he must have a back-up plan.

    The reason why Zhao Yun is so worried is actually because he is worried about Liu Zhe¡¯s safety and harmsThere was a mistake in Tongguan, which endangered Liu Zhe's safety.  But now seeing Liu Zhe's expression, Zhao Yun was no longer worried. If Liu Zhe had a backup plan, it would be Cao Cao who would suffer, not Liu Zhe.

    Seeing that Liu Zhe was confident, Zhao Yun was relieved. He did not ask further questions. Now his first priority is to defend Tongguan.  He saluted Liu Zhe and said, "In that case, my lord, then Zilong will go down."

    "Yes!" Liu Zhe nodded, but soon he said to Zhao Yun again: "Zilong, leave a thousand cavalry for me. Don't let them go up to defend the city. Let them recuperate. I will  useful."

    The Black Scale Army is now taking turns to defend the city, taking turns, so that they can rest as much as possible.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
