The Three Kingdoms: The entire Cao Cao camp thought I was weak and frail.

"Lord Xun, please lead the elderly, weak, women and children of your clan to evacuate through the underground channel," Guo Jia said in a deep voice. "Xun Hao, the remaining elite troops, and I will defend the city gate to the death to buy you time."

"Nonsense!" Xun Shuang glared. "Am I, Xun Shuang, a coward who fears death? The Xun family will live and die with this city!"

Just then, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the northwest corner of the city wall.

"Commander! The northwest corner of the city wall has collapsed!"

Bo Cai's personal guard deputy, Li Dama, led several hundred Yellow Turban soldiers and, taking advantage of the defenders' exhaustion, used makeshift battering rams to force down a small section of the city wall. Although the breach was small, it was enough for the Yellow Turban soldiers to pour into the city.

"Charge in! Kill all these damned soldiers!" Li Dama roared, leading the charge into the city.

The defenders on the city wall panicked when they saw the breach. The Yellow Turban army, as if finding an outlet, poured in frantically.

"Hold the breach! We can't let them in!" Xun Shuang charged forward with his sword, fighting desperately alongside the servants.

Guo Jia also joined the battle, sword in hand. He was agile and wielded a fierce sword, each strike capable of taking the life of a Yellow Turban soldier. However, the Yellow Turban army was simply too numerous, and the defensive line at the breach was in grave danger.

Xun Hao was tightly protected in the arrow tower by Guo Jia's guards. He looked at the tragic scene on the city wall, his heart breaking.

He knew that if he didn't use the [Legacy Plan] soon, Yangdi City would be finished. But his "electricity" was almost depleted, and forcibly activating it would only cause him to fall into a complete coma.

We can't just sit here and wait to die!

Xun Hao pushed aside the guard in front of him. "Young Master!" the guard exclaimed.

He ignored it, drew his sword, and deflected the arrow aimed at Guo Jia.

"Go back!" Guo Jia spotted him in the chaos and shouted sharply.

Xun Hao ignored him. Leaning against Guo Jia, he said, "Leave your back to me!"

Xun Hao felt the energy rapidly filling his body and quickly constructed a sand table in his mind.

[A Last Plan]!

At the northwest corner, at the breach, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was concentrated. Li Dama was leading the charge, but beside him, an inconspicuous rock was loose. If struck, it would inevitably cause a local collapse.

"Stone inkstone, the gap in the northwest corner, the third stone brick on the left, smash it hard!" Xun Hao ordered the guards beside him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shi Yan turned around abruptly, forced back the Yellow Turban soldiers who were attacking him with a single slash, and then kicked the stone brick that Xun Hao had pointed to with all his might.

"boom!"

The stone brick did indeed loosen, and under the enormous impact, a large section of the city wall at the breach collapsed again.

Countless Yellow Turban soldiers were struck by falling bricks and stones, screaming as they were buried under the rubble. Li Dama was also trapped in the rubble, unable to move.

This sudden turn of events instantly reversed the course of the battle. The Yellow Turban army's offensive stalled, and the defending forces seized the opportunity to counterattack, forcing back the Yellow Turban army that had surged into the city.

The partial collapse of the northwest corner of the city wall temporarily thwarted the Yellow Turban army's offensive, but Yangdi City was already in dire straits. The defending army had suffered more than half its casualties, and the remaining troops were exhausted.

Arrows and rolling stones were almost exhausted, and the people in the city were filled with fear, with riots possible at any moment.

The atmosphere was heavy in the council hall between Xun Shuang and Guo Jia.

"Fengxiao, the city's food supplies can last for three days, but our troops are less than a thousand men, and we only have a few barrels of arrows left." Xun Shuang's voice was hoarse. "If there are no reinforcements, Yangdi City may not last until tonight."

Guo Jia remained silent, his brow furrowed as he stared at the map in his hand. He knew Xun Shuang was telling the truth.

"Brother Fengxiao, Bo Cai's supplies are probably exhausted as well." Xun Hao's voice came from the corner. He was being supported by his guards, his face was still pale, but his eyes were unusually clear. "He can't hold on any longer. Tonight, he will definitely launch his final attack."

Guo Jia walked to Xun Hao's side and helped him sit down. Xun Hao felt that familiar warm current flow into his body, and his trembling gradually subsided.

Xun Shuang frowned slightly, wondering if his youngest nephew was too dependent on Fengxiao.

Just then, a rapid sound of hooves suddenly came from outside the city. It was not the chaotic galloping of the Yellow Turban army, but the orderly hoofbeats of well-trained cavalry, striking the earth like drumbeats.

Immediately afterwards, a loud bugle call pierced the sky, carrying a chilling killing intent as it soared into the heavens.

"This is..." Xun Shuang suddenly stood up, a look of disbelief and surprise flashing in his eyes.

A long-lost smile appeared on Guo Jia's face.

He walked to the window, pushed it open, and saw dust billowing on the distant horizon, where a large flag bearing the words "Huangfu" fluttered in the morning breeze.

"Reinforcements! It's General Huangfu's reinforcements!" The heart-wrenching cheers of the defenders echoed from the city wall.

Everyone rushed to the top of the city wall, looking at the big flag with eyes filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a catastrophe.

The Yellow Turban army below the city fell into chaos the moment they heard the bugle call and saw the banners of the reinforcements.

They were already exhausted and demoralized, and now they were like stray dogs, throwing down their weapons and scattering in all directions.

"Pursue! All troops, launch an attack and hunt down the Yellow Turban rebels!" Xun Shuang excitedly gave the order.

Guo Jia stopped him, saying, "Lord Xun, we should not pursue a desperate enemy. General Huangfu's reinforcements have arrived and will naturally clean up the mess. We do not have enough troops in the city, so it is not advisable to go out and pursue them."

Upon hearing this, Xun Shuang calmed down and nodded.

Huangfu Song's reinforcements rushed into the Yellow Turban army like tigers descending the mountain, instantly scattering them into pieces.

Countless Yellow Turban soldiers were killed or captured. Bo Cai's 50,000-strong army completely collapsed under Huangfu Song's iron cavalry.

Yangdi City was finally saved.

Guo Jia stood on the city wall, looking at the Yellow Turban army in the distance as they collapsed, then looked down at Xun Hao beside him.

The boy leaned against him; although his face was still pale, his weakness had lessened considerably.

Guo Jia reached out and gently patted his head.

Inside Yangdi City, the joy of surviving the calamity dispelled the gloom left by the war.

The people spontaneously took to the streets to welcome the imperial army led by General Huangfu Song into the city. The deafening cheers were a testament to their relief at surviving.

The atmosphere was equally lively inside the Xun family's ancestral home.

Xun Shuang met with Huangfu Song in person. This renowned Confucian scholar, when discussing the resistance in the city, generously recounted in detail the ingenious strategies and plans of Xun Hao and Guo Jia.

He focused on describing how the two used a feint to scare away Bo Cai, how they used hidden channels to harass the enemy, and how they ultimately defeated the enemy's elite troops in the barbican.

Huangfu Song nodded repeatedly, his eyes gleaming with admiration. As a renowned general, he naturally understood the wisdom behind these strategies.

"Oh? The Xun family of Yingchuan truly is a place where hidden talents abound!" Huangfu Song stroked his beard in admiration, and immediately ordered, "Summon those two extraordinary talents at once; I wish to meet them personally!"

Soon, Xun Hao and Guo Jia were invited to the front hall.
