Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 554 The overall situation is decided!

Yongning County is just a small county after all.

This kind of county town can even be said to be easy to attack but difficult to defend!
Although Zhang He and Xu Huang were brave and their soldiers were elite, Xing Daorong's swift attack still made them breathless.

Under the city, flags covered the sun and drums of war shook the sky. Xing Daorong, wearing heavy armor and holding a long sword, stood in front of the battle array, his eyes were like torches and his voice was like a bell: "Zhang He, Xu Huang, you rats, do you dare to come out of the city to fight!"

Zhang He and Xu Huang on the city wall looked at each other. Although they were not convinced, they knew that Xing Daorong was extremely brave and did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

The war drums sounded suddenly, and at Xing Daorong's command, all siege weapons were launched, and huge rocks rained down like raindrops, and arrows flew like locusts, directly hitting the top of the city.

Zhang He urgently ordered the defenders to resist with shields, while Xu Huang commanded the archers to fight back. However, Xing Daorong's attack was like a storm, and the defenders on the city were defeated.

Xing Daorong personally led the elite troops to climb the city wall. He wielded his long sword and was invincible. No one on the city wall could stop him.

Zhou Tai, Ma Chao and other generals will follow closely behind, each of them bravely taking the lead!

This is where the Han army's strength lies.

Each general was braver than the other.

The marshal took the lead, followed closely by the generals. Each of them led the troops and bravely climbed the city wall.

They are all brave generals who will ascend the battlefield first!

At this moment, Xing Daorong had already climbed onto the top of the city wall. Seeing this, Zhang He raised his spear to fight, but was hit head-on by Xing Daorong's axe, which directly knocked him back. His palms felt numb and he almost fell off the city wall.

Xu Huang swung his axe to help, but Xing Daorong sneered and swung his sword as fast as a rainbow, forcing Xu Huang to retreat again and again, and his axe skills became a mess.

The two generals' combined strength was no match for Xing Daorong alone. Upon seeing this, the morale of the defenders on the city wall plummeted and they began to retreat.

Xing Daorong took advantage of the situation and launched a fierce attack, and the defense line on the city wall almost collapsed.

Although Zhang He and Xu Huang fought hard, they were unable to reverse the situation and had to order a retreat to the inner city.

Behind Xing Daorong, the army was not willing to fall behind!
Seeing that they had the advantage, everyone was naturally brave and unstoppable!
They rushed forward one after another, all trying to grab the credit.

Besides, if Cao Pi left, he couldn't just leave alone with a few personal guards.

A lot of elite soldiers and horses in the city were taken away.

What’s more crucial is that when Cao Pi left, he didn’t even have time to notify Zhang He and Xu Huang.

When the two men wanted to find His Majesty, they discovered that Cao Pi had disappeared!
Zhang He clenched his spear tightly upon hearing this, his brows furrowed, "Why is it so sudden? Where is Your Majesty?"

Xu Huang also looked serious: "You were here just now, how come you disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

The adjutant said, "When your majesty received the news that Xing Daorong was attacking the city, he led his Tiger Guards and left the city through the west gate."

In fact, Zhang He and Xu Huang should have discovered such a large-scale escape long ago.

However, when these two men were fighting bravely, they really had no time to pay attention to the situation on His Majesty's side.

Speaking of which…

When Cao Pi was the crown prince, he actually had a history of sneaking away.

But after becoming His Majesty, no one would be stupid enough to bring up the past again!
In this way...it really makes people forget Cao Pi's dark history.

Now that Cao Pi has secretly left... it reminds people of his criminal record.

Cao Pi could leave, but he should have informed the emperor.

After all, whether His Majesty is present or not... is two completely different things for the battle situation.

The two looked at each other, and their hearts sank.

There were flames everywhere below the city and shouts of killing were getting closer. It was obvious that the enemy had approached the inner city.

Zhang He gritted his teeth and said, "There is no time to lose. Let's stabilize the morale of the army first!"

Xu Huang nodded, but a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes: "However, without His Majesty, how can we pass down military orders? If we lose our balance, the consequences will be disastrous!"

At this moment, a personal guard rushed in in a panic, kneeling down to report: "Two generals, your majesty... your majesty has left with his personal guards, and did not leave any military orders!"

Zhang He's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and his hand holding the gun trembled slightly: "How could this be! Why didn't your Majesty even leave a military order?" Xu Huang was also in a state of confusion, but he forced himself to remain calm and said: "Now is not the time to pursue the matter. The enemy has arrived, and we must fight quickly!"

"Besides, Your Majesty is also seriously injured, so this is a helpless move."

Zhang He let out a long sigh, and there was a hint of sadness in his sigh.

Although Xu Huang was determined to fight to the death, the army had no leader, the soldiers were already in panic, and the formation was in disarray and disorganized.

Although Zhang He and Xu Huang tried their best to command the army, they were unable to reverse the downward trend.

The enemy troops came like a tide, and under the light of the fire, the faces of Zhang He and Xu Huang looked particularly pale.

Especially since Xing Daorong was leading the way and was a killing god, the two of them looked even uglier.

Zhang He gritted his teeth and growled, "Your Majesty, this move is nothing but a death sentence for us!"

Xu Huang sighed, his eyes full of helplessness: "Now that things have come to this, we can only fight to the death to preserve our loyalty!"

Although the two men were brave, they were no match for the overwhelming force. The army was in chaos and they were at a loss as to what to do for a while.

...

Heaven and earth conscience!

When Xing Daorong came here, he just wanted to receive the letter and see if Cao's army was willing to fight.

As a result, Cao's army was completely defeated!

Take Zhang He and Xu Huang for example, although they fought desperately on the surface, they were far less capable than they should have been.

After the fight, Xing Daorong had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Cao Pi is really no good!

Besides...

Cao Pi's large army marched out of the city. Xing Daorong failed to notice it during his fierce attack, but it was discovered by scouts in the army.

Now that he had some free time during the war, he came up to report.

Xing Daorong stood in front of the formation, holding a long axe. He looked like he was ready to fight to the death, but in his mind he was figuring out how to sweep the Central Plains with the least loss after Cao Pi was seriously injured.

But then he heard a spy come back with a report: "General, Cao Pi has led his troops to retreat, and his whereabouts are unknown!"

When Xing Daorong heard this, his face was filled with disbelief for a moment, but he quickly realized that he was probably surrounded and couldn't escape, so he left early.

Ma Chao, who was standing by, heard this and naturally felt that there was an opportunity.

But he quickly said: "General, this is a God-given opportunity, let me go chase and kill Cao Pi!"

Xing Daorong shook his head and said, "Cao Pi left early, so he must have ridden fast. If we chase him, Xu Huang and Zhang He will definitely not let us go, and we will be in a passive position."

"We can only conquer this city first, and then hunt down Cao Pi!"

Ma Chao felt that Xing Daorong's words made sense and he could not insist on it.

But he had no idea that Xing Daorong actually had other thoughts in mind, but he just couldn't say it openly in front of Ma Chao, who was bent on hunting down Cao Pi.

"Cao Pi is still a sick cat when he returns."

"It would be better to ask him to go back and recuperate than to die here."

"Seeing Cao Pi in this state, the people in Ye City must be in panic."

"Besides, regarding the war here, there is indeed a chance to hunt down Cao Pi, but it is destined to be difficult."

"Why not take advantage of this chaos to get rid of Xu Huang and Zhang He, the last two Cao family generals? After that, I'm afraid there won't be anyone left in the Cao family who can fight except Cao Ren who is still fighting with Guan Yu!"

Thinking of this, Xing Daorong decided to let Cao Pi go first.
