As Cao Yu had expected, the battle was more intense than he had imagined. A large number of Yellow Turban elites climbed up the city walls, increasing the pressure on the Yanzhou Army and causing casualties.
Cao Yu held the Black Dragon Halberd in his hand and kept putting out the fire everywhere. He would pounce wherever there were more thieves. However, he was only one person and could not care about such a long battle line.
Just as he had killed the dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers in front of him, the wall in the distance was already in danger. Dozens of elite enemy troops had beaten the Yanzhou army back and quickly gained a foothold. The enemy troops continued to climb up.
When he wanted to go over to reinforce them, there was another area where the situation was also urgent, and there were enemy troops climbing up.
"Damn it, I'm a little distracted!”
At this moment, reinforcements finally arrived.
"General, don't panic. Dian Wei is here!"
Dian Wei and another general each brought a team of soldiers and quickly rushed over to fill the gap and save the situation from almost collapsing.
Especially that general. He was calm and composed as he commanded a group of soldiers to beat the enemy into a pulp.
"Good! Reinforcements have arrived. Everyone, hold on and beat them down!”
The Yanzhou Army's momentum was greatly boosted. They used all their strength and hacked at the enemy soldiers who jumped onto the city wall. The putter soldiers quickly went forward and pushed down the ladder, finally solving this crisis.
"Thank you, Dian Wei, and this general. Fortunately, you arrived in time!”
Dian Wei scratched his head." I'm about to get sick from staying by my lord's side all the time. How can it be more satisfying than killing enemies on the battlefield?"”
"Even if this general doesn't come, these enemies won't be able to do anything to you!" The other general said calmly.”
"I don't have a problem, but the casualties of our brothers will increase greatly.”
"General, you don't look familiar. You haven't asked for my advice yet?"”
"I am Yu Jin, a lieutenant under Bao Jibei.”
Cao Yu was a little surprised. So he was one of the five good generals. Yu Jin had the ability to lead troops and was strict in managing the army. He had always been highly regarded by Cao Cao. Although he had some flaws in his old age, how many people could face life and death calmly?
"General, you are calm in the face of danger. You are well dispatched. It is a waste to be a lieutenant. I will ask Brother Yuncheng to bring you over another day!”
Yu Jin's eyes flashed, but his face remained calm. He cupped his fists and said,""Thank you for your appreciation, General. Wherever Bao Jibei asks Jin to go, I will go!”
It meant that he was Bao Xin's soldier and would only leave if Bao Xin asked him to.
With the two of them sharing the burden, the pressure on Cao Yu was greatly reduced. Within the range of the Black Dragon Halberd, not a single fish escaped. The enemies were terrified and our army was excited.
Cao Cao couldn't sit still at the back. The other three gates 'attacks were average, and there was also Bao Xin to support them. If he led his team to the east gate, he wouldn't be confident without taking a look.
"My lord, why are you here?"
Dian Wei was shocked and quickly ran to protect him.
"Dian Wei, don't make a fuss. Cao has led troops to war often and is a veteran on the battlefield.”
After blocking a wave of attacks, Cao Yu retreated.
"Big brother, do you want to take over the command? You should have rarely experienced city defense battles, right? Haha…"
"You brat, you still have the mood to tease me? How's the situation?"
"With the reinforcements of the two generals, the situation has stabilized. I think the other party is about to retreat. They can't afford to lose these elites.”
As soon as Cao Yu finished speaking, the sound of a gong rang out from below the city. The enemies retreated like the tide once again. Realizing that they had defended again today, the city was instantly filled with joy.
"Good! The enemy doesn't have enough food and can't hold on for long. When that time comes, it will be time for us to counterattack. After victory, Cao Cao will celebrate for everyone!”
"Yes, thank you, Prefecture Overseer!"
It was necessary to give them an appropriate encouragement. They were all full of fighting spirit and confidence in this war!
Morale was high and full of hope, but the Yellow Turban soldiers below the city were a little depressed. Didn't the soldiers and civilians run away when they saw us in the past? Why was he resisting so fiercely now?
The few canal marshals gathered together, all of them frowning.
"I didn't expect Lu County to be such a tough nut to crack!”
"What do we do now? We can't afford to waste time. If we don't get food soon, not to mention the old, the weak, the women, and the children, even our army will soon run out of food!”
"Why don't we leave? There were still seven other counties in Yanzhou. There was no need to fight to the death here.”
As soon as these words were said, the few canal marshals immediately nodded. They were asking for money and food, not to attack the city and occupy land. What was there to fight for?
Guan Cheng was unwilling." We Yellow Turban are everywhere. Where are we not fleeing?" When had he ever suffered such a loss? If they were defeated this time, wouldn't the other places follow suit? At that time, it will be even more difficult to get food!"
"Then what do you think we should do? Are we going to continue wasting time here? Can we afford it? Lu County is still like an iron wall. Can you attack it?”
Guan Cheng slammed the table and stood up. Tomorrow, I'll personally go on stage. I'll definitely attack the city walls and open the city gates. I'll kill everyone!”
"You really are? Have you forgotten about that sharpshooter?"
"I've asked around about that person. He's called something like General Shen Wei. He's very famous. Aren't you afraid of sending yourself to death?”
Guan Cheng said disdainfully," It's just a false reputation. Isn't our Qingzhou Yellow Turbans famous enough?" Besides, I have a shield. As long as I can hold on until I reach the city, the arrows will be useless.”
Guan Cheng's attitude was firm and full of confidence. The others did not say anything else.
"Alright, I'll give you one more day. If things don't work out, we'll transfer to another place.”
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Good!"
"Eel!"
The few of them immediately looked over with disdain. This disgusting fellow actually liked this kind of thing?
The next day, the sky had just brightened. Guan Cheng held a shield in one hand and a saber in the other. Behind him was a team of elite subordinates. Looking at the city wall in front of him, he waved his hand.
"Charge with me!"
