Cao Cao was already planning to fight against the water, and if he lost this battle, then they would withdraw from Yecheng.

If you win, you will be able to gain an advantage in Jizhou.

Zhang Ming has been attacking Cao Cao, but he doesn't dare to start a large-scale war with Cao Cao at this time, if one is not well controlled, both will lose.

On this day, Zhang Ming came back from outside.

"Big brother, this Cao Cao is really soft, he doesn't dare to come out to fight us." Zhang Fei, who had never been addicted, said very dissatisfied.

Zhang Ming couldn't calm down in his heart this day.

This Cao Cao has been avoiding war, which makes him very uneasy.

According to common sense, Cao Cao should not avoid the war, because Cao Cao's food and grass are insufficient, and he should fight quickly.

"My lord, there are people out there who want to see you."

Not long after Zhang Ming came back, Xu Huang, who was guarding the military camp, came to report.

Zhang Ming asked to bring people over.

"General Protector, this is a letter from the head of our family, and we must hand it over to you personally."

The man who came was a man of about forty years old, who looked like a clerk.

Zhang Ming took the letter and opened it.

"Okay, I see, you can go back."

Zhang Ming didn't say much, and sent the person away.

After the others left, Guan Zhang, Zhao Xu, and Gao Ran all looked at Zhang Ming.

"This is a letter from a family in the city, saying that they will help us open the north gate tonight."

Gao Ran said: "My lord, I'm afraid this is a conspiracy. ”

Zhang Ming motioned for everyone to sit down.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Ming said: "This is indeed a conspiracy, I am not surprised that the family will surrender to Cao Cao, but there is no reason to surrender to me." ”

"But I guess this is not Cao Cao's conspiracy, he may also get the same news, and someone is his internal response."

"However, both of us know that this is a conspiracy, but we have to be fooled, Yecheng, we are determined to win, and we cannot afford to lose."

Then, Zhang Ming arranged for the armies to prepare.

"Second brother, third brother, you two lead a thousand soldiers with explosion-proof shields in front to prevent a sneak attack."

This time, Zhang Ming was cautious.

Zhang Ming did not attack Cao Cao again, but deployed troops and horses.

He echelons are configured to make the enemy as invulnerable as possible.

All three parties are preparing.

In the city, the third son of the Yuan family was ready.

This time they didn't take anything with them, they went into battle lightly, and most of their families didn't bring them.

Only some of the family members of the core are brought on.

The three sons were very reluctant, and Guo Tu said to them: "Three sons, if Zhang Ming and Cao Cao fight badly, we can still kill it back and recapture the city at that time." ”

The three sons are still very sad.

Cao Cao's side has also been arranged.

The sky is slowly changing, and all three parties are making final preparations.

Finally, it got dark.

Zhang Ming's army had been gathered, and the whole army was ready.

At the appointed time, the city gate really opened slowly.

After opening the gates, two torches were waving at the head of the city.

"Yun Chang, Yide, attack."

Zhang Ming saw the torch and ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead 10,000 people to kill.

Naturally, he didn't dare to press the whole army up, if there was a big conspiracy inside, they would be very dangerous.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu led the army, with a thousand explosion-proof shields in front, followed by sword and shield soldiers, and three thousand archers in the middle.

Arranged in this way, it can be attacked and defended.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two of them went in, and there were no defenders around the city gate.

"Array."

The two of them were still very careful, and after entering the city, they first set up a formation to protect them, and then sent scouts.

The scouts moved quickly, carefully searched the surrounding places, and broke into the homes of the people to search for any hidden soldiers and horses.

Of course, the break-in did not hurt anyone, but it also frightened the people.

"Two generals, there is no ambush within three hundred meters."

The first wave of soldiers soon returned to report.

"Occupy the city gates, and the team moves forward three hundred meters."

Guan Yu gave the order, and the army attacked again.

Quickly step forward, then re-align.

By this time, the soldiers had already gone to the distance to reconnoitre.

The news kept coming, and there was no ambush inside.

"Set off fireworks and notify Big Brother."

Guan Yu ordered, and some soldiers immediately began to set off fireworks.

Fireworks take off and can light up a lot of places.

This city, which had been immersed in it, suddenly became nervous.

Zhang Ming saw the signal and ordered: "Yan Rou will take 30,000 people to stay and guard the camp, and the rest will follow me into the city." ”

Zhang Ming and they entered the city.

After the signal was issued, Guan Yu ordered: "Move forward quickly." ”

Now, they didn't care if there was an ambush or not, they moved quickly, wanting to take the city as soon as possible.

"Kill."

"General, there are enemy troops ahead."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushed to the middle of the city, and when they rushed to the middle of the city, they ushered in an army on the opposite side.

"Formation, defense."

Guan Yu gave an order, and immediately turned forward into defense.

The thousand-faced blast shield was lowered to block the front.

The enemy on the opposite side was none other than Cao's army, and they also killed them after Kaesong.

Meet in the city.

On the opposite side is Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others.

The two armies immediately faced each other.

Both armies stopped, but only for a moment.

"Kill."

"Kill."

The commanders of the two armies ordered the attack almost simultaneously.

Both armies rushed forward.

Zhang Ming's explosion-proof shield is hard, and it has a certain advantage when it collides.

The army was about to push it over, and at this time Cao's army attacked.

Guan Yu gave the order, and the archers attacked.

In the dark, the archers' attacks were extremely lethal, although they couldn't see clearly, but the blast shields in the front row were tempered glass, and some soldiers were holding flashlights to shine on the opposite side.

The archers have a reference distance, which is very easy to recognize, and immediately attack.

"Attack, kill."

Dian Wei and Xu Chu found that they had suffered a loss, and the casualties were not small, so they immediately ordered to rush forward.

"Shield, attack."

The soldiers in front immediately attacked with a shield array, and hit directly head-on with their shields.

The two sides kill together.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not in a hurry to attack, but contacted the rear.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu were unable to break through Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's formation, but suffered a lot of losses, so they divided their troops to kill them from other streets.

However, Zhang Ming's reinforcements arrived in time.

Reinforcements from both sides arrived almost simultaneously.

It's all here, so let's do it.

Zhang Ming led the army to kill him from another street.

Xu Huang, Gao Ran and others also led their own soldiers and horses to kill from other streets.

The two armies began to engage on a large scale.

Many of Cao's generals were also killed.

At this time, Yuan Jun had already run out of the city and waited more than ten miles away.

They didn't dare to get closer, and once they did, it was expected that Cao Jun and Zhang Ming's army would stop immediately.

"The three sons, according to the intelligence, they are fighting in the city, if we can continue to kill, we will soon be able to take back Yecheng."

Guo Tu was very proud, the two armies were killed, maybe they could turn the tables.

However, there is no chance of a comeback.

Although Zhang Ming and the others have been fighting, on the streets, the range of contact between the soldiers of the two armies is relatively small.

In the case of each side having its own defense, it is not so easy to distinguish the winner from the loser.

The situation was unknown, and Zhang Ming invested half of his troops to block Cao's army.

On the streets, both armies fought desperately, but there were only two or three thousand soldiers in direct contact, and the rest were lined up in the back.

The two armies are indeed fighting fiercely.
