Chapter 397

"Chen... Chen Gongtai?"

Xia Hou Dun's pupils constricted.

His brows were filled with disbelief.

After Zhang Miao died, Cao Cao had once searched for Chen Gong throughout Yanzhou in a way similar to a wanted notice.

But in the end, he didn't get any news about Chen Gong.

After that, everyone in the Cao camp also assumed that Chen Gong had fled to other provinces, or had already died.

But he didn't expect that Chen Gong would appear in Chen Liu City at this critical moment!

For Xia Hou Dun, this was no different from a bolt from the blue.

Suddenly.

A more intense sound of footsteps came from outside the city.

Xia Hou Dun struggled to turn around and looked toward the outside of the city.

The scene he worried about most had, in the end, happened.

Tens of thousands of Gu Yi's army took advantage of the internal chaos in the city to launch an attack on the city.

If the enemy had only been Chen Gong's thousand-plus retainers.

I fear it wouldn't take half an hour for Xia Hou Dun to quickly lead troops to suppress the rebellion.

But facing Gu Yi's army, coupled with the internal chaos stirred up by Chen Gong, Xia Hou Dun simply couldn't fight on two fronts at the same time.

"Quick... quickly arrange for the brothers to protect Wenruo and the family members of the lord to break out of the city!"

Although Xia Hou Dun's ability to command troops and fight battles was average, his awareness of the overall situation was quite good.

Chen Liu City, under the current circumstances, was likely not going to be held.

Since that was the case, sending all the important people out first was the most urgent matter.

The deputy general standing beside Xia Hou Dun hurriedly turned around to execute the order Xia Hou Dun had conveyed to him.

But... the advancing speed of Gu Yi's army outside the city was very fast.

Before all the Cao army soldiers could react.

Gu Yi had already begun to command the soldiers to set up scaling ladders and launch the most fierce attack on Chen Liu City!

If there hadn't been the internal chaos stirred up by Chen Gong.

Perhaps the garrison of Chen Liu City, under Xia Hou Dun's command, could still have blocked this attack.

But Chen Gong's retainers were not just a thousand-plus.

Besides this, the large fires set by this group of retainers on the streets everywhere inside the city blocked the Cao army soldiers from supporting each other.

Xia Hou Dun struggled to resist on the city walls.

Two quarters of an hour later.

More and more of Gu Yi's army climbed onto the city walls.

The fall of the city was already destined to be just a matter of time.

Xia Hou Dun, upon learning that Xun Yu, Cao Ang, and the Ding clan had all withdrawn, gnashed his teeth fiercely and led the remaining soldiers to break out.

It must be said that Xia Hou Dun's explosive power was quite good.

In a fit of rage, he actually killed more than a dozen of Gu Yi's army soldiers in one go.

But...

As the saying goes, no matter how high the kung fu, one is afraid of a kitchen knife.

Suddenly, not far away, an arrow as fast as a shooting star shot toward Xia Hou Dun's face!

A strong sense of alertness shrouded Xia Hou Dun.

Relying on instinct, he dodged to the side.

But... the owner who shot this arrow was the "Galaxy Sharpshooter" Cao Xing!

With a "squelch" sound!

Xia Hou Dun's left eye was pierced by this arrow.

"Ah ah ah!!!"

Intense pain swept through Xia Hou Dun's entire body.

Just when the soldiers of Gu Yi's army beside him thought Xia Hou Dun was about to die.

Xia Hou Dun was seen using all his strength to pull the arrow, along with his left eye, out of the eye socket!
