Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 179 Fierce fighting all night

At this time, the garrison of Changzi City exceeded 30,000, fully equipped with bows and crossbows, so it was not easy to capture.

Zhang Jue led his entire army of more than 40,000 men under the west gate. One after another, many Yellow Turban soldiers seemed to have no idea what death was. Although even their clothes were tattered, not to mention any armor, they still climbed up the city wall regardless of their lives.

Arrows, boulders, boiling oil, and logs fell from the top of the city walls. Batch after batch of Yellow Turban soldiers died under the city, but this still could not stop their momentum. The reason was simple: if they couldn't enter the city, they would have no food to eat, and if they couldn't eat, they would surely starve to death. So they might as well give it a try.

However, no matter how tight the defense on the city was, it could not stop such a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers from rushing up.

Although the city gate could not be broken down, many people had already climbed up the city wall.

Huangfu Song brandished his sword and said, "Soldiers, the time has come to make achievements. Kill!"

He personally rushed forward and killed several enemy soldiers. Several of his generals also vied for credit and pounced on the enemy like wolves and tigers.

They have been chasing this group of Yellow Turban Army for nearly two months without any major results. Today is finally the decisive battle. Whether they can be granted titles of nobility and general, and have their wives and children blessed, all depends on today. At this moment, the soldiers under Huangfu Song's account all have red eyes, looking at the enemy troops rushing up the city, as if they are seeing merits and boxes of rewards.

More and more Yellow Turban soldiers climbed up the city wall, and finally there were over ten thousand of them. They fought on the west side of the city wall, and people fell down almost every moment.

On top of the city wall, blood flowed like a river, gurgling down along the stone steps.

The sounds of fighting in the north gradually subsided and finally died down completely, but then, a burst of sounds of fighting came towards this side again.

Covered in blood, Governor Zhao looked up into the distance and was immediately overjoyed.

"General Huangfu, look! They are the ones who have returned victoriously after defeating the enemy!"

Huangfu Song looked from afar and under the light of the torches, he could clearly see that the troops rushing over were wearing the armor of his own court.

"Hahaha, God is helping me. As long as they surround us from the rear, we can accomplish our mission!"

Zhang Jue shouted anxiously, "Quick! Second brother, divide your 8,000 troops to stop them!"

Without further ado, Zhang Bao led a group of men to turn their guns around, no longer attacking the city wall, but instead heading north to attack.

"Look at the knife!"

Guan Yu did not seem tired at all from the battle he had just finished. He was still full of energy and rushed into the formation, brandishing his Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

Huangfu Song was tired of killing enemies on the city wall, so he appointed several generals.

"The three of you stay here to defend the city, while I personally lead the army out of the city to attack Zhang Jue!"

"General, you can't do that. You are the commander-in-chief of the three armies. How can you take the risk yourself? Let me go!"

Huangfu Song said impatiently: "Stop talking so much! If we can't capture or kill the traitor Zhang Jue alive today, there will be no such opportunity again in the future!"

After saying this, the veteran, who was nearly fifty years old, went down the city wall without even looking back, carrying his spear and sword.

With a "creak", the city gate opened wide. The Yellow Turban Army, who were preparing to break down the door, had no time to react before Huangfu Song suddenly rushed out with his army. Poor Yellow Turban Army became victims of the sword.

"Zhang Jiao, don't run away. Fight with me for three hundred rounds!"

After this long battle, Huangfu Song had many scars on his body, but he didn't care at this time. He spotted Zhang Jue's position in the crowd and rushed straight over.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

The old general with half white hair and beard seemed to have regained the energy of his youth. His spear was as sharp as a dragon, and he took the lives of dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers in a blink of an eye.

"Is this old man crazy?"

After all, Zhang Jue was not from a military background, so how could he be a match for Huangfu Song, who had been a soldier all his life, in terms of martial arts? Seeing the other party acting so crazy, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened and quickly retreated a few steps.

At this time, a general ran over and spoke in an urgent voice.

"Great and Good Master, our followers are trapped in a tight siege. In the fierce battle so far, more than 10,000 people have been killed or injured. If this continues, we will have to stay here today!"

Zhang Jue looked around. Although the number of bodies on both sides was about the same, he still lost even if both sides were hurt. The reason was simple. This was Bingzhou, and Bingzhou did not have much power. If Wu Lu captured Taiyuan County, it would be fine. If he failed, and he lost most of his troops here, he would not be able to leave Shangdang.

"Damn it! Huangfu old villain, you bullied me too much! And the cavalry led by that red-faced man is also abominable. If it weren't for him, we could have captured this city before Huangfu old villain caught up with us yesterday!"

The more Zhang Jue thought about it, the more hateful he became.

"No, we must get rid of this anger today no matter what! You personally lead 3,000 soldiers to besiege that red-faced man, and make sure to kill him and his cavalry! As for Huangfu Song, this leader will deal with him personally!"

"Here!"

"You don't have to deal with it, I'm here!"

Zhang Jue was startled and turned his head to look, only to find that Huangfu Song had already arrived within a few dozen steps of him.

The commander beside him suddenly exclaimed, "That red-faced man is coming to kill us!"

Zhang Jue looked again and found that Guan Yu was indeed coming towards him from another direction and was not far away.

"Guan is here to lend a helping hand to the general!"

Zhang Jue suddenly felt an infinite wail in his heart.

"Is it God's will that Han is on his side? Am I, Zhang Jue, going to perish here today? I won't accept this!"

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, who were fighting in the distance, discovered the situation here and were thinking of returning to rescue. Unfortunately, they did not have the courage to do so and could only worry for a while.

Huangfu Song watched his archenemy getting closer and closer, and he felt anxious and excited.

"Traitor, let's see where you can escape to today!"

Just when everyone thought the situation was settled, a few sparks of fire suddenly appeared from the jungle on the small hill in the southeast.

Several generals on horseback rushed out.

"Great and wise teacher, do not panic, the white bird is coming!"

Zhang Jue was extremely surprised and hurriedly led a dozen riders around him to meet them.

"Haha, it turns out that fate is on my side! General Bai Quequ actually came to help from Yanzhou. Old thief Huangfu, let's see who will die first between you and me, haha!"

Huangfu Song's face turned pale.

"Damn it! Bai Que was defeated by me in Yingchuan and fled. I didn't expect that he could gather so many troops and make a comeback in just half a month. Yanzhou, what is Cao Mengde doing? It's a pity that I gave him power after the Yingchuan battle and asked him to clean up the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou!"

There were crowds of people behind the white sparrow. Although it was still dark and the number of people could not be seen clearly, judging from the torches, there were probably no less than 10,000 people. The addition of such a fresh force was undoubtedly crucial to the battle situation where soldiers from both sides had been fighting for a long time.

"General, let's retreat first! Even with these reinforcements, the enemy will have a hard time capturing Changzi City. As long as the city is not lost, Zhang Jue will surely be defeated. There is no need to show off your bravery!"

The captain beside Huangfu Song tried hard to persuade him.

The old general looked at Zhang Jue with hatred and bit his mouth until blood came out.

"Damn it! Go back to the city!"

Huangfu Song fought and retreated under the escort of thousands of personal guards, and he did not forget Guan Yu when he left.

"General Guan, please come back to the city with me! The enemy is strong, and it is important to defend the city!"

Guan Yu secretly hated Zhang Jiao as he watched him getting further and further away from him.

"General Huangfu, please return to the city. Even if I cannot kill Zhang Jue, I will kill two of his generals. Otherwise, I will not return to the city!"

Guan Yu wiped the blood splashed on his beard with his hand, turned around and charged into the enemy camp again.
