It must be said that Pang Tong was truly skilled and daring; given 20,000 men, he actually considered attacking Chenliu!
Although Cao Cao's capital was always in Xuchang, because Emperor Xian of Han was also there,
Chenliu, located in the heart of Yanzhou, was always heavily guarded, and being his hometown, its defenses were absolutely formidable.
Even Cao Cao's strategists probably wouldn't have imagined that Pang Tong, upon receiving news of the attack, would immediately devise a counter-offensive strategy, even turning the tables and attempting to seize territory!
That night, a group of routed soldiers arrived at the walls of Chenliu, just as the city gates were about to be closed.
The guards on the city walls immediately spotted them and issued a warning.
The routed soldiers were ragged, some even missing their helmets.
"Quickly, save General Xiahou!"
"Here, give us some water!"
The leading group of routed soldiers collapsed halfway through their journey. Xiahou Lin, the city gate guard who had initially been somewhat wary, heard this and immediately sent someone to inform Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren inside the city. He then led his men out of the city gate to investigate.
"Swoosh!"
When Xiahou Lin arrived at the city gate, the routed soldiers were just being helped in.
Before he could ask a question, the soldiers suddenly attacked, pulling out daggers and slitting the throats of the Cao army infantrymen beside them.
They then scaled the city wall, and before those above could detect what was happening below, they began to seize the city gate.
In the distance, the cavalry also began their charge. Ma Chao was still leading the charge, his expression filled with fanaticism.
He wanted to be the first to enter Chenliu and claim the credit! Leading troops into battle was truly exhilarating.
"I didn't expect Pang Tong to be so capable! Ma Dai did a great job! Hahaha! Brothers, charge with me!"
Poor Xiahou Lin, although he notified the city immediately, was still killed.
He died without warning, his death shrouded in mystery.
When Cao Ren arrived with his troops, they encountered Ma Chao. The two sides clashed immediately, and despite the night, the fighting was brutal, with blood flowing like a river.
The common people kept their doors tightly shut, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
The shouts of battle shook the heavens and continued until dawn.
Pang Tong mobilized all his elite troops and directly attacked Chenliu, which was defended by 50,000 men.
After defeating Xiahou Dun, he immediately used the routed soldiers to trick the city gates open, followed by a surprise attack.
The strength of the elite troops was truly astonishing; despite continuous fighting, they remained spirited and their fighting power was explosive.
One soldier was worth seven or eight of Cao Cao's, and with their superior armor and weapons, they were overwhelming.
At the south gate, a weary Cao Ren was trapped in a civilian's house. Xiahou Yuan had also died in battle the previous night, stabbed by Ma Chao, who only managed to wound Ma Chao's left arm in return.
Last night, they could have counterattacked, but the soldiers' rout was too rapid, making an effective counterattack impossible.
Plus, it was too dark to see clearly, and by the time dawn finally broke,
Cao Ren, fighting and retreating, discovered that the city gates had already been breached, and he was trapped like a fish in a barrel!
"Cao Ren, surrender now, assist the King of Qin in unifying the world, and you will be remembered in history. Why resist so stubbornly!"
Pang Tong personally came to persuade him to surrender.
If they could capture Cao Ren, it would be a major blow to Cao Cao!
Already walking on thin ice, this was now adding insult to injury.
Cao Ren smiled bitterly, ignoring the pleas of his guards, and shouted outside, "I will not surrender! I will not betray Mengde! You can kill me, but spare my guards!"
"Bury me south of the city after my death."
Pang Tong nodded, offering no further persuasion.
Then, he was riddled with arrows, leaving only one guard to deliver a message to Cao Cao.
Pang Tong would not leave any potential threats. Cao Ren's guards were undoubtedly loyal to the death, so there was no need for further persuasion.
The most urgent task was to train the troops and restore order within the city.
He didn't have much time; he had to do his best to defend the city before Cao Cao's counterattack.
Pang Tong anticipated that Cao Cao would not let the matter rest so easily. With Chenliu captured, and Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Dun all dead, Cao Cao would inevitably send troops, whether to win over morale or to fight to the death.
"A desperate army is bound to win"—he understood this principle, and so did Cao Cao!
Zheng City, the Imperial Palace.
The Golden Hall, usually a place for court sessions, was now filled with the sounds of stringed instruments. Dancers in sheer veils swayed their hips, displaying their bodies before the most powerful man in the land.
The sheer veils, revealing glimpses of skin, fueled arousal.
Lu Ming was not wearing the imperial robes; he was naked.
He sipped his tea while watching the dancers.
Seeing his erection, he forced Empress Dowager He, who was serving him, onto the dragon throne and began to have sex with her directly.
Empress Fu Shou, sitting nearby, blushed deeply—it was too lewd!
With a sudden thrust, his thick, monstrous penis instantly forced open Empress Dowager He's tight vagina, causing her to scream.
Her delicate body trembled slightly, her two jade-like buttocks tightly embracing Lu Ming's back.
She felt a red-hot iron rod instantly thrust into her honeyed lower orifice, the thick, long penis instantly stretching open her tight vaginal muscles.
After the initial tingling numbness came endless pleasure. Her vagina had already taken on Lu Ming's shape, even bearing him a daughter!
From Fu Shou's perspective, she could see her mother-in-law, Empress Dowager He, her butterfly-like labia majora stretched taut, truly like a butterfly spreading its wings, about to take flight, revealing a peculiar beauty and lewdness.
The muscles around her vulva were stretched to their limit, as if they would tear open at any moment.
The pinkish vaginal flesh turned slightly outwards, causing the mons pubis to sway slightly, the dark forest above playfully swaying.
And inside the originally tight vaginal opening, a thick, long, and menacing blackish-red penis was inserted. Even with only a third of it inside, it was already quite a sight…
A trickle of clear, lustful fluid slowly dripped from the point where their genitals met.
Empress He, her vaginal muscles clenched and contracted from the penetration of Lu Ming's thick, long penis, was overflowing with lustful fluid. She gripped his shoulder, her fingernails digging deeper into his muscles.
Her delicate body, however, was constantly twisting and turning her plump buttocks around her, gripping and contracting from various angles, repeatedly pushing his penis deeper into her vaginal walls.
