Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

"Pass the order down, the entire army should speed up its march and make sure to reach the city wall before dark." Cao Cao said coldly.

"Here!"

Cao Cao's personal guards hurried over to convey the order.

An hour later, Cao Cao led his army to the city gate.

Seeing the city gates closed, Cao Cao suddenly felt something was wrong. Could it be that Cao Ang’s reinforcements had not arrived yet?
"Cao Ang!"

Cao Cao shouted.

There was no response from inside the city gate.

"My lord, it looks like we still have to force our way in!" said a lieutenant general.

"What do you know!" Cao Cao scolded, "If we rush in rashly, I'm afraid it will give Cao Ang more opportunities to escape.

Our only choice now is to wait and reach the city wall before night falls!"

Outside the city, Liu Yu led his army and watched from afar.

"Brothers, we must charge into Qingzhou tonight!" Liu Yu said.

"promise!"

"Pass the order down, all departments get ready!" Liu Yu said.

"promise!"

Soon, a team of 5,000 people set up camp outside the city.

"Pass the order down, tonight, everyone must be alert and ready for battle at any time!" Liu Yu shouted loudly.

"promise!"

As night falls, the moon quietly rises high in the sky.

The moonlight shines on the earth, a silver glow, just like daylight.

In this quiet night, only the sound of fighting could be heard in the distance.

Liu Yu stood on the city wall and saw the army led by Cao Cao gathering under the city wall, preparing to launch an attack.

"Brothers, prepare for battle!" Liu Yu shouted.

"Here!"

Cao Cao led an army of 30,000 in the city and was less than ten miles away from the city gate.

Cao Cao looked at the brightly lit city ahead, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said to a general beside him.

"General, pass on my order. All troops will launch a general attack on the city immediately!"

"Yes!" the deputy general responded with a fist salute.

Soon, the 30,000-strong army began to move towards the city.

Two hundred meters away from the city wall, Cao Cao stopped and said to the 30,000 troops behind him, "Everyone, follow the original plan and attack the city!"

"Here!"

The soldiers under Cao Cao responded in unison.

Soon, the 30,000-strong army was divided into two groups, one group moved towards the city gate, and the other group moved towards the woods behind the city gate.

"Enemy attack!"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise was heard in the woods.

Cao Cao frowned and shouted, "All archers, prepare to shoot!"

Whoosh whoosh!
Dense arrows flew out from the woods.

Cao Cao's soldiers dodged but were still wounded by arrows.

"Quick, retreat to the woods!" shouted a lieutenant.

"Yes!"

The generals quickly retreated into the woods, but were still injured.

"General, the enemy's archery skills are too powerful. We can't resist them at all." A deputy general said with a sad face.

"Hmph, a bunch of rabble!" Cao Cao said disdainfully.

"General, thousands of our soldiers died and were seriously injured. Shouldn't we think of other ways?" said another general.

"Any other ways?" Cao Cao frowned. "Tell me, if you have a good idea, I will definitely not be stingy!"

"We can use the method of rotation warfare to consume the enemy's manpower, so that our losses will be reduced." said the lieutenant general.

"Rotary battles are a good idea. Let's fill our stomachs first, and then duel with the opponent. We try to capture the city before the enemy runs out of food!" Cao Cao said.

"promise!"

Soon, Cao Cao led his army forward.

On the city wall, Liu Yu looked at the situation below and groaned in his heart. He did not expect Cao Cao to adopt this strategy.

However, Liu Yu still gritted his teeth and persisted. He believed that with Cao Cao's military talent, he would be able to defeat Cao Cao. "My lord, the enemy has entered our ambush circle!" said the lieutenant general.

"Ok!"

"My lord, we can launch the general attack now!" the lieutenant general shouted.

"Pass the order down, everyone get ready, prepare to attack!" Liu Yu shouted.

"promise!"

Soon, the defenders on the city wall were ready, taking up their weapons and ready for battle.

Soon, Cao Cao's army arrived in front of Liu Yu.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Yu standing opposite him and shouted coldly: "Liu Yu, surrender, maybe I can show mercy!"

"Haha, you want me to surrender? That's a pipe dream!" Liu Yu laughed wildly.

"court death!"

Cao Cao's face darkened. He brandished his sword and shouted, "Kill him!"

The army behind Cao Cao immediately rushed out.

"Brothers, kill!"

Liu Yu roared and led his men to meet them.

The two armies started fighting under the city wall.

The two sides started fighting, and soon fell into chaos.

Although the soldiers under Cao Cao were not as strong as those under Liu Yu, they had the advantage in numbers. Once they launched a general attack, they quickly suppressed the soldiers under Liu Yu.

"My lord, what should we do now?" asked a lieutenant general.

"Kill!" Cao Cao said coldly, with a ruthless look in his eyes, "Kill him!"

"Here!"

"Push it to me!"

"kill!"

Liu Yu's subordinates were also aroused and charged forward desperately.

The two groups of people engaged in a melee under the city.

"Brothers, kill them!" Liu Yu roared.

"kill!"

Soon, the two sides were entangled with each other.

"My lord, something is wrong under the city!" said a general.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Cao Cao asked puzzledly.

"We are surrounded!" said the lieutenant.

"What?" Cao Cao was shocked and looked towards the city.

At this moment, the city was densely packed with people, and there were quite a lot of them.

"Who is the enemy?" asked Cao Cao.

"It seems so" the lieutenant just opened his mouth, suddenly, a long knife chopped his shoulder, knocking him to the ground, and blood splattered all over Cao Cao.

"Damn it!"

Cao Cao quickly drew his sword and cut off the neck of a soldier with one blow.

"Kill me!"

Screams continued to be heard on the city wall. Many soldiers were chopped to the ground without even a chance to resist, and the entire city wall was dyed red with blood.

"General, it's bad, the enemy is charging towards us!" A general ran up to Cao Cao and said anxiously.

"I understand!" Cao Cao nodded.

"My lord, what should we do now?" asked the general.

"What else can we do? We can only retreat!" said Cao Cao.

"Yes!"

Soon, a group of soldiers began to slowly retreat towards the city gate.

Cao Cao led his soldiers and retreated all the way to the city gate, but was ultimately unable to withstand the attack from Liu Yu's army.

"My lord, let's escape quickly!" said a general.

"Escape? Why should we escape?" Cao Cao said puzzledly.

"Our reinforcements are coming soon, we just need to wait for them!" said the general.

"Reinforcements?" Cao Cao frowned slightly, "Why didn't I receive any information about reinforcements?" (End of this chapter)
