Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 387 Burning Ye City
It was a pity that Lu Bu failed to kill Zhang Ming.

A person stands in the middle of the street, holding a halberd in one hand, leaning to the lower right.

At this time, the two sides stopped fighting and were waiting for the commander's order.

"Zhang Ming, I will definitely kill you next time."

Zhang Ming was bandaging at the back. His injuries were not serious. His hands were cracked, his ten fingers were injured, and several places on his palms were broken.

They were all skin wounds, and after applying Yunnan Baiyao, they would heal in a few days, but they would not be able to go to the battlefield in a short time.

"Lu Bu, you are indeed invincible. However, your army is doomed. No one can stop my peak. You can't do it, Lu Bu, and neither can Cao Cao. No one can stop me."

Zhang Ming is also arrogant, so what about Lu Bu, in front of the powerful army, no one can stop him.

Here, Lu Bu blocked Zhang Ming and failed to continue the attack.

On the other side, Guan, Zhang and Zhao were as fierce as tigers.

After defeating a few Cao troops, they continued to make surprise attacks.

Cao Jun was killed until he retreated.

Gao Lan was not so lucky. When he met Yu Jin and Cao Hong, he was no match and couldn't kill them.

However, under his defense, Cao Jun could not break through his block.

Yan Rou and Xu Huang also won and kept pushing forward.

Cao Cao has been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.

"My lord, General Lu has already stopped. He attacked three times and was stopped."

Although there was no general like Zhang Ming, it would be difficult for Lu Bu to lead the army to break through their obstruction.

Charged three times, causing Zhang Ming's side a lot of casualties, but they couldn't get over it either.

"Understood, let's explore again."

"My lord, the enemy generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun rushed hundreds of meters away, split up at the three-fork intersection, and headed towards the other two streets."

"Explore again."

Bad news kept coming. Generally speaking, Cao Cao and the others were relatively weak.

"Zhongde, our army has been fighting, but Zhang Ming's army is not as experienced as ours, so our army is not their opponent." Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu.

"My lord, I have carefully observed that the opponent's equipment is better than ours. In addition, the soldiers are much stronger than ours. Besides, they have gained the momentum on the battlefield. The overall advantage is stronger than ours, and the momentum is naturally stronger than ours."

Cao Cao was silent and didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, a soldier came in a hurry.

"Report to the general, the enemy led 2 people out of the camp to attack us, and the two generals Xia Houyuan and Zhang Liao sent troops to fight outside the city."

Xi Zhicai also made a move.

This is the sign of an all-out war.

After fighting for a long time, the two sides are still at a stalemate.

Cao Cao closed his eyes deeply.

He couldn't take this city of Ye.

If the fight continues, both sides will definitely suffer, and perhaps there will not be many people left in the armies of both sides.

However, it was difficult for Cao Cao to make a decision after all.

"My lord, don't hesitate anymore." Xun You persuaded from the side.

"Okay, order the soldiers, first prepare to ignite the fire in the city, start organizing the army, and prepare to retreat."

It's not that easy to do it.

Cao Cao began to order, let the soldiers prepare to light fire in many places.

The first thing to light was not the fire on the city wall, but the fire that was going to ignite the houses of the people in the city.

Cao Cao not only wanted to burn down the city walls, but also burned down all the houses.

At least the side he controls will be completely burned down.

Many soldiers scattered and began to prepare.

And the fighting between the two armies continued.

Zhang Ming's army attacked like crazy.

Because all the soldiers knew that Cao Cao was so mad that he wanted to burn down the city.

Cao Cao's army withstood the pressure.

However, some of Cao Cao's soldiers continued to demolish the houses, and others were preparing to start fires.

At the same time, obstacles are set up in many places.

After preparing for two hours, the soldiers informed Cao Cao that everything was ready.

"Order the army to retreat and set the city on fire."

With one command, many places were set on fire.

When Cao Jun began to retreat, Zhang Ming's army chased them for a while. After Zhang Ming found out, he asked them to come back.

It is not so easy to chase Cao Cao, he was accidentally attacked by accident.

In the city, many fires broke out.

"Burn it, and if you destroy it, you will be reborn."

Zhang Ming thought that to save half of the buildings in the city, he only needs to ask the soldiers to make an isolation belt.

But if you think about it, forget it. If Cao Cao suddenly kills you when you are putting out the fire, a sneak attack will not be worth the loss.

After this battle, if you want this city, you have to rebuild it.

When rebuilding, these old things are useless, Zhang Ming might as well re-plan a city by himself.

The new city has a very modern design, which can make a city beautiful.

"All troops retreat."

Cao Cao set fire to Yecheng.

Zhang Ming and the others retreated outside the city.

Many corpses on both sides are afraid that they will be turned into ashes together with this city.

After retreating outside the city, Zhang Ming and the others began to count the number of people.

At this time, the entire army only had more than [-] people. After the First World War, from the uprising in Youzhou to the present, more than [-] people have been lost.

When Cao Cao went back, he also counted the number of people. He lost more than 1 people more than Zhang Ming.

Both parties suffered heavy losses.

And Zhang Ming occupied most of Jizhou.

Except for the three counties occupied by Cao Cao, the remaining six counties are under the control of Zhang Ming.

The fire burned for more than four days, and it rained heavily before it was slowly extinguished.

The two city walls were completely burned down, and two-thirds of the buildings in the city were also burned.

"Immediately send a few people in to paint, and paint everything that can be painted."

There are professional painters in the army, Zhang Ming, who was trained to draw maps. At the same time, there are several war reporters who accompany the army, and two of them are also professional painters.

The generals, as well as Ju Shou and Xi Zhicai looked at the dilapidated city with mixed feelings.

"Who would have thought that one day, this city of Ye would end up like this. Back then, this city of Ye was so prosperous."

Jushou was the most emotional. He had been living in Yecheng, but he did not expect that the place he was familiar with at the beginning was now in ruins.

"General Protector, will you really rebuild Yecheng?" Ju Shou asked.

"Yes, but a strong camp must be built around to prevent Cao Cao from attacking."

"It took a few months to clean up the ruins, and then, a large amount of materials were brought in. I am afraid that it will take three years, and it is just a prototype."

Jushou knew that what Zhang Ming said was true, so he was very depressed.

"Don't worry, the whole world will be unified. If it is divided for a long time, it will be reunited. For a long time, it will be divided. This world must be unified."

Zhang Ming is heroic, and now he owns nearly three states, and he can be said to be tied for the number one prince with Cao Cao.

"Xu Huang, Yun Chang, and Gao Lan led an army of [-] to garrison here. The rest of them will go back and regroup."

Among the surrounding enemies, the only one who had direct contact with Zhang Ming was the third son of the Yuan family in Bingzhou, and then Cao Cao.

There are currently only two enemies, and neither of them has any combat power for the time being.

Cao Cao spent a lot of money this time and suffered huge losses. He was no longer able to launch an attack.

Zhang Ming also had no way to launch a large-scale combat operation, so he could only go back temporarily.

On the way back, Zhang Ming asked Xi Zhicai, "After this battle, have we gained an advantage over Cao Cao?"
