"impossible!"

After hearing Cao Hong's words, Cao Cao blurted out, and he did not believe Cao Hong's judgment.

Cao Cao said angrily: "Zixiao attacks on the other side, I attack here, attacking on both sides. How many people can Liu Zhe have under him? He has been exhausted until now."

Cao Hong smiled bitterly and said, "But Liu Zhejun is still fierce. No matter how I command the soldiers to attack, they can resolve them one by one. I can't tell that they are weak."

"This is only temporary." Cao Cao believed in his judgment and also believed in Cao Ren. He said confidently: "Liu Zhejun will definitely not be able to hold on for long. As long as he continues to attack like this, I don't believe that Liu Zhe's subordinates will be able to hold on."

"But, this loss..." Even Cao Hong was worried about the losses of his soldiers. Until now, more than 7,000 soldiers under his command had suffered casualties, and more than 3,000 died alone.

"As long as you capture Tongguan, I will admit it no matter how big the casualties are." Cao Cao gritted his teeth.

He felt distressed, but there was only one opportunity, and he could not miss it. If he captured Tongguan and captured Liu Zhe alive, the Yongzhou crisis could be resolved, and even the four prefectures in Hebei could be included in the hands at that time.

Cao Cao drooled when he thought about such a bright future, so even if he had suffered a lot of casualties, he had to persevere, otherwise what he had done before would be meaningless.

"Continue to attack!" Cao Cao ordered Cao Hong strictly.

"Yes!" Cao Hong could only accept the order and continue the attack.

It was not until the sun set that Cao Cao ordered the gold to withdraw his troops and continued tomorrow.

In the evening, Cao Hong reported today's losses to Cao Cao. After hearing this, Cao Cao felt distressed and said, "Liu Zhe must not be easy. If he attacked both sides, his casualties will not be much better than us."

Although Liu Zhe was defending the city, the number of casualties was definitely less than that of Cao's army, Liu Zhe's soldiers were only a little over 20,000, and each was less than that of Cao's army.

Cao Cao believed that he could bear the losses he had today, but Liu Zhe would definitely not be able to bear them.

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow continues, I don't believe that Liu Zhe can survive tomorrow. He is already at the end of his strength."

The next morning, Cao's army had enough food and drink and continued to attack.

The horns were heard one after another, and Cao's army continued to rush forward on the ladder.

Liu Zhe appeared on the city wall. Looking at Cao Jun, whose number of people was still no different from yesterday, he couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth and said to Zhao Yun: "If Cao Cao knew that Cao Ren had no way to attack, he would attack with all his strength here, but he would only increase the casualties of his subordinates. Do you think he would vomit blood?"

"I will definitely!" Zhao Yun said seriously.

He now admires Liu Zhe very much. Liu Zhe's sneak attack made Cao Ren unable to attack, avoiding the two-sided defensive battles of the Tongguan defenders, and reducing the great pressure.

Yesterday, Zhao Yun felt the pressure of Cao Cao's full-scale attack. It was just that 20,000 defenders were focused on defending. If Cao Ren also added, he would inevitably separate the 20,000 soldiers in his hands and defend on both sides. At that time, the number of defenders was scarce and the pressure was huge, and it could not be adjusted in time, and casualties would naturally increase significantly.

"alright."

Liu Zhe patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said to him: "I'll leave it to you here. Maybe Cao Cao will know the news that Cao Ren can't attack him today. While he doesn't know yet, try to kill his soldiers as much as possible."

The messengers sent by Cao Ren brought the news that he was temporarily unable to attack the city to Cao Cao. These messengers crossed mountains and ridges, and naturally they inevitably encountered scouts under Liu Zhe who were wandering outside. Therefore, Liu Zhe easily learned the news, which was earlier than Cao Cao.
