Three Kingdoms: Fusion of Entries, Change of Destiny

Chapter 20: Rescue, Dunqiu
Xun Yu led more than a thousand soldiers to guard the city.

Cao Yan led Cao Ang, Li Zheng and Li Dian, and a combined force of 3,000 men out of the city to pursue!

Li Zheng served as the vanguard, leading his troops and chasing after the Black Mountain Army.

Li Zheng, who had been holding back for almost a day, shouted excitedly after receiving the order: "Brothers, follow me!"

Cao Yan led Li Dian and Cao Ang as the central army, following closely behind.

Zuo Xi Zhangba was leading his infantry in a slow retreat when he suddenly heard shouts and cries of killing coming from behind him.

He turned around suddenly and saw Cao's army sweeping in like a tide, with great momentum.

"Oh no, Cao's army is catching up!"

Zuo Xi Zhangba was shocked and quickly ordered his soldiers to form a battle line to meet the enemy.

However, the Black Mountain Army's infantrymen had already lost their fighting spirit.
They had just experienced a day of hard fighting at the siege and were already exhausted.

They also learned that their hometown had been attacked, and they were eager to return home, but their morale was very low.

On the other hand, Cao's army was in high spirits and was unstoppable.

Li Zheng led the vanguard troops and rushed into the rear of the Black Mountain Army.

"Kill!"

Li Zheng shouted loudly, and the soldiers followed closely behind him, and the shouts and cries of killing shook the earth.

He wielded his spear, charged left and right, as if he were in an empty space, and defeated the Black Mountain soldiers step by step.

Cao Yan arrived shortly after with the central army. He surveyed the battlefield and decisively ordered, "Zixiu, lead the Yuanyang Army and attack from the front to help Ziqi defeat the enemy!"

"I obey your command!" Cao Ang responded excitedly, and then led the Yuanyang Army to charge into the enemy camp from the front.

"Mancheng, you attack diagonally from the right side to support Ziqi!" Cao Yan turned and said to Li Dian.

"Yes!" Li Dian took the order, called up the soldiers, chose a suitable angle, and inserted himself into the Black Mountain Army's formation like a sharp blade.

Zuo Xi's heart was bleeding.

He had previously taken the initiative to request an attack on Dongwuyang,

They thought that there were abundant supplies in Dongwuyang City, and they would be able to make a fortune after breaking the city.

But Dong Wuyang was not a good bone to chew, and even lost two teeth.

When retreating,
Those two bastards actually ran away first without caring about their own life or death.

Zuo Zhi Zhangba was extremely anxious, and the more anxious he became, the more confused he became.

He tried to organize his soldiers to fight back, but the Black Mountain Army had already been intimidated by the momentum of Cao's army, and their morale was low and they had no fighting spirit.

Zuo Xi Zhangba could only watch helplessly as his soldiers were killed one by one by Cao's army.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Seeing that most of the Black Mountain Army had been dismembered by his own soldiers, Cao Yan ordered his men to shout loudly.

After hearing Cao Yan's call, some Black Mountain Army soldiers laid down their weapons and chose to surrender.

Although Zuo Xi Zhangba was unwilling, he knew that the situation was hopeless and he could only flee with his remaining troops.

As soon as the main general left, the Montenegrin army collapsed immediately.

Most of the soldiers fled in all directions, while a small number chose to surrender.

The crisis in Dongwuyang has been resolved.
Cao Yan did not stop there.

Instead, he ordered the scouts to go ahead and then led the team to support Cao Cao.

He and Cao Cao wanted to attack from both sides and defeat the Black Mountain Army in one fell swoop!

……

Cao Yan sent someone to inform Xun Yu to prepare to receive the prisoners, while Cao Yan himself led his troops to continue forward.

Xun Yu brought officials to the outside of the city and saw dozens of Cao's soldiers escorting more than a thousand prisoners towards the city gate.

He turned to the clerk behind him and said, "Order someone to cook more hot porridge and prepare another three hundred stone of aged millet."

"Is this for the prisoners?" the clerk was a little surprised.

"There are many coerced refugees in the Black Mountain Army." Xun Yu said gently, "Zuo Xi Zhangba has been doing evil in Jizhou for many years. Who among those farmers carrying hoes dares to resist?
Just as Zi'an said, the famished refugees know the value of warmth and food, and giving them a bowl of hot porridge is more effective than anything else.

The clerk bowed, accepted the order and left.

……

Cao Yan led his army on a three-day rapid march.
Finally, before dusk fell, they arrived outside the city of Dongyu.

At this time, the city of Dongyu had just repelled a wave of attacks from the Black Mountain Army.

We were exhausted, and it was getting dark soon.

Cao Yan did not launch an attack rashly.
Instead, they found a secluded place to set up camp and let the soldiers rest for a night.
But the lights in the central military tent were still bright.

Inside the big tent, Cao Yan and others were analyzing the current situation.

"According to the scouts, Yu Du and Bai Rao have been attacking for six consecutive days. They have come close to occupying the city walls several times, but they were eventually repelled," said Cao Yan.

"It looks like they're going to take over Dunqiu before they leave?" Cao Ang frowned.

"Maybe Sui Gu sent a letter to Yu Du, so Yu Du and the others are not in a hurry?" Li Dian continued.

"No matter what, we must assist the defenders in the city to defeat the enemy tomorrow. Otherwise, if Dunqiu City falls, we will suffer heavy losses." Cao Yan said in a deep voice.

As soon as the sky brightened, the sound of siege horns sounded again outside the city of Dongyu.

Cao Ren propped his iron shield against the parapet of the wall, with three broken arrows embedded in the shield.

He wiped the blood and sweat from his face, turned to Cao Chun and said, "If the city falls today, you will escape from the city alone."

Cao Chun had just swallowed his dry mouth biscuit when he choked and rolled his eyes when he heard the words.

He patted his chest several times before swallowing his food and catching his breath.
"How could I abandon my brother? At worst, we can die together in battle. I'll still have a companion on my journey to the underworld."

At this time,
The Black Mountain Army swarmed towards the city like a swarm of ants.

Yu Du sat on a dark horse that was a head taller than the others.
With a deadpan expression, he ordered, "Pass the order down. Once we capture Dunqiu City, you will be allowed to plunder for three days!"

As soon as Yu Du's order or reward came out,
The Black Mountain Army soldiers became even more crazy, and charged towards the city of Dongyu while howling.

"Shoot!" Cao Ren's voice was hoarse.

"Hold on!" Cao Chun was ready to risk his life and live and die with Cao Ren and Dunqiu.

Yu Du raised the banner amidst wild laughter.

The drum beats suddenly intensified,

Four battering rams began to hit the city gate at the same time.

Under the fierce attack of the Black Mountain Army, the city of Dongyu was like a lone boat, in danger of capsizing at any time.

Three hundred paces away in the woods,

Cao Yanzheng and his soldiers were quietly waiting for an opportunity.

Cao Ang swallowed the last piece of dry food and asked anxiously, "Uncle, the scouts reported that if we don't take action now, the city gate will collapse."

Cao Yan glanced at the densely packed Black Mountain Army on the city wall and said softly, "Don't worry, wait for the scouts to find Yu Du's central army first!"

The sky was completely bright.

The east gate of Dongyu was the first to collapse and was hit by the battering ram, leaving a big hole in it!

"The city gate is broken!"

"The city gate is broken!!"

There was a burst of cheers from the Black Mountain Army, but the soldiers of Cao's army on the city wall felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

But no one in Cao's army gave up. Even if they died, they would take someone else with them!

"Kill! Kill one and you'll break even. Kill two and you'll make a profit!!"

Cao Chun, holding a spear, with disheveled hair and blood all over his body,

On the ferocious face, there are a pair of red eyes.
From a distance, it looks like a demon crawling out of hell!

But he had already exhausted all his strength, and was at the end of his strength.
Just as he was about to die, a very familiar slogan suddenly came from outside the city.
"Yuanyang Army, I am invincible!"

"Yuanyang Army, I am invincible!"

Cao Ren used his big shield to resist the attacks of the two Black Mountain soldiers in front of him.

After hearing the slogans outside the city,

A burst of power suddenly burst out from his body, and he actually pushed the two Black Mountain soldiers out of the city wall and threw them to the foot of the city.

Then, his legs went limp and he lay on the parapet, trying hard to look out.

I see,

Under the guidance of a big banner with the word Cao,
A team with various weapons and neat formations is the vanguard.
There were 1,000 soldiers on each side as flank troops.
They were charging towards the central army where Yu Du was!

“Reinforcements!!!”

"Reinforcements are coming!!!"

Cao Ren's broken voice,
Listening to it at this moment,
But it is the heavenly music of Cao's soldiers!
