Three Kingdoms: Fusion of Entries, Change of Destiny

Chapter 79 I’m scolding you, Yuan Gonglu!

South of Puyang City, sand and dust are everywhere.

Yuan Shu's army arrived outside Puyang City in a mighty force like a rolling torrent.

More than 160,000 soldiers and horses were like a dark cloud pressing down on the city.

Swords and guns stood in rows, covering the sky and the sun.

Even the flags on the top of Puyang City,
They all seemed to be slightly tilted by this momentum.

But to the surprise of Yuan's army, Cao's army did not retreat into the city, but instead calmly deployed its battle formation outside the city.

Cao Cao used the Qingzhou army as the central army, Cao Ren and Li Zheng as the left wing, Le Jin, Cao Ang, Li Dian and others as the right wing, and relying on the city wall behind him, he formed a tight and compact defensive formation.

Yuan Shu stood in front of the battle line, looking at the formation of Cao's 50,000 armored soldiers, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Cao Aman, do you really want to try to stop a chariot with a mantis arm?" Yuan Shu reined in his horse and walked out of the formation, shouting loudly.

Cao Cao also rode forward and shouted in response, "Yuan Gonglu, why are you attacking Yanzhou?"

Cao Cao was wearing a red cloak, black armor, and riding a black horse, standing majestically in front of the formation.

Yuan Shu, however, came to the front of the battle formation wearing gorgeous golden armor and riding a tall maroon horse.

The two of them exchanged sharp words, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.

"The imperial court sent the governor of Yanzhou, but you refused to meet him. Do you want to rebel?" Yuan Shu asked.

"Jin Shang is Li Jue's envoy, not an envoy of the Han court! Furthermore, when have you ever taken the court or the emperor seriously?" Cao Cao refused to back down. "Where were you when I led 5,000 soldiers and horses to hunt down Dong Zhuo? Where did you place the emperor and the court?"

"Cao Aman, no matter how eloquent you are, today is the day you die!" Yuan Shu said this harshly and reined in his horse to turn back to the formation.

Unexpectedly, a clear voice called out to him: "Brother Gonglu, long time no see!"

Yuan Shu stopped what he was doing and looked at him carefully. "Who are you?"

"I am Cao Yan, Cao Zi'an. Brother Gonglu, don't you remember me?"

"Oh! I remember that you were the follower behind Cao Cao and Yuan Shao when they were young!" Yuan Shu said suddenly.

"..." Cao Yan was stunned, but Guo Jia and others couldn't help laughing to themselves.

But Cao Yan reacted quickly and replied immediately: "It's been many years since we last met, Brother Gonglu is still as charming as ever!

He is still as arrogant as before, and even colludes with the traitor Li Jue, trying to use the emperor to control the princes!

I want to ask you, when the eighteen princes met at the Suanzao Conference to fight against Dong Zhuo, you hid in Luyang and drank and enjoyed yourself. Now you call yourself the king's army. Isn't that shameless?

Yuan Shu's veins bulged, and he unsheathed his sword with a clang: "How dare you, you brat, insult me!"

"Insult you?" Cao Yan laughed heartily, looking up to the sky. "Let me ask you, how did Sun Jian die? Has the imperial seal fallen into your hands?"

A huge shit pot hit Yuan Shu's head.

"I didn't harm Sun Jian, and I didn't try to steal the imperial seal!" Yuan Shu was furious and was about to rush up to challenge Cao Yan in a duel.

Seeing that Yuan Shu seemed to be losing his mind, Zhang Xun and others who were following not far behind him rushed out and grabbed Yuan Shu's horse.

"Lord!"

"My lord, you won't do that! You won't do that!!"

"My lord! Do not fall for Cao Cao's evil scheme!"

"My lord, Cao Yan is just a warrior. Why bother to argue with him?"

After being persuaded by those around him for a while, Yuan Shu finally regained his sanity.

He took a deep breath, his voice returning to its usual three-tenths arrogance and seven-tenths conceit, and said, "This general has hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers under his command. Even if one of them spits, he can flood your Puyang City. Why bother to argue with you?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and shouted, "Brother Gonglu, don't be so confident. The souls of those tens of thousands of soldiers you killed earlier are still wailing at you!"

"You..." Yuan Shu's face flushed red with anger at Cao Cao's words. "Cao Aman, you only won a few sneak attacks by luck! Today, I will let you see what a true elite army is!"

The two Cao brothers engaged in a heated exchange of words, which made Yuan Shu unable to withstand.

Yuan Shu snorted coldly, turned his horse's head and returned to his own formation.

He knew that the quality of his own generals was far inferior to Cao Cao's. Fighting them in front of the enemy would not give him any advantage. It would be better to fight directly and win by numbers. Yuan Shu pointed his whip at Cao's army and shouted, "Beat the drums! Attack!!!"

Following Yuan Shu's order, the war drums in Yuan's army camp sounded like thunder.

Amid the sound of war drums, Yuan army's vanguard Liu Xiang led 20,000 infantrymen and charged forward.

Generals such as Zhang Xun, Chen Lan, Qiao Rui, Le Jiu, Li Feng, and Lei Bo rushed to lead their troops to attack Cao's army from three sides!
Seeing this, Cao Cao waved the flag in his hand without panicking.

In the Cao army camp, archers quickly stepped forward and fired thousands of arrows at the Yuan army.

For a moment, there were screams in Yuan’s army, and many soldiers were shot by arrows and fell to the ground.

Yuan's army was not to be outdone, and their archers fought back.

However, there were many large shields in Cao's army, and the damage caused was extremely limited.

After the two sides exchanged two waves of fire, they soon engaged in close combat.

Swords flashed, blood splattered, and the sound of fighting was deafening.

Cao's soldiers were well-trained and coordinated well, forming a tight battle formation to resist the attack of Yuan's army.

Although Yuan's army was large in number, it seemed somewhat disorganized and the soldiers lacked coordination.

For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate.

At this moment, Yang Hong suddenly came to Yuan Shu and said, "My lord, Cao's army has thousands of cavalry, but we haven't seen them yet. We must be on guard against ambushes!"

Yuan Shu, alerted by this, realized that he had indeed not seen Cao Cao's cavalry. He immediately ordered, "Send out scouts to find the ambush location of Cao Cao's cavalry!"

However, Cao Cao had ambushed the cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Xiahou Yuan in a dense forest east of Puyang City in advance.

On the battlefield, the two sides are fighting fiercely.

Relying on their large numbers, Yuan's army continued to attack Cao's defense line like the sea.

Although Cao's army was well-trained, the pressure was increasing as they faced wave after wave of attacks from Yuan's army.

Even Cao Yan picked up a spear and joined in the fight.

Cao Yan has five items on his body: [Ancient Evil (Gold)], [Super Endurance (Purple)], [Thick Skin (Blue)], [Brave (Blue)], and [Spear General (Blue)].

Together with Dian Wei, he fought in front of the battle line, killing Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses.

When Yuan's soldiers saw these two killers, their eyes were filled with fear and they dared not move forward.

"Hey, General Cao, stop being so arrogant!" Chen Lan, a general in Yuan Shu's army, rode his horse and charged forward with his sword in hand.

Cao Yan sneered, dodged the knife light and stabbed Chen Lan's horse's butt with his backhand.

The warhorse felt pain and stood up, knocking the unsuspecting Chen Lan to the ground.

Cao Yan pulled the reins hard, and the horse stood up.

Just as the warhorse was about to crush Chen Lan's sternum, Chen Lan suddenly rolled sideways to avoid it.

Just as Cao Yan was about to chase after him, a cold arrow suddenly shot towards him, and he had to rein in his horse temporarily to avoid the arrow.

When he looked again, Chen Lan had already disappeared in the sea of ​​Yuan's army, rolling and crawling.

The surrounding Yuan army soldiers gathered around and tried to besiege Cao Yan.

Cao Yan did not intend to fight head-on, but retreated behind Dian Wei.

Dian Wei was not polite either. He grinned, waved his double halberds, and crashed into the crowd like a human tank!
When Dian Wei came back, he was covered in blood, with a piece of flesh from an unknown part of his body hanging on his shoulder.

Don't even mention the enemy.

Even my family members couldn't help but step back when they saw it.

"This guy is so scary!"

"It's simply the reincarnation of the God of Death!"

"Fortunately, we are not enemies..."
