Lu Bu felt a deep pity and failed to kill Zhang Ming.

A man stands in the middle of the street, holding a halberd in one hand, diagonally to the lower right.

At this time, the two sides stopped fighting and waited for the commander-in-chief's order.

"Zhang Ming, I will definitely kill you next time."

Zhang Ming bandaged in the rear, he was not seriously injured, his hands were cracked, his ten fingers were injured, and his palms were also broken in several places.

It's all skin trauma, apply Yunnan Baiyao, and it will be fine in a few days, but you can't go to the battlefield again in a short time.

"Lu Bu, you are indeed invincible, however, the defeat of your army is decided, no one can stop my Bingfeng, you Lu Bu can't do it, Cao Cao can't either, no one can stop me."

Zhang Ming is also arrogant, what about Lu Bu, in front of the Xiongxiong army, no one wants to stop him.

Here, Lu Bu blocked Zhang Ming and failed to continue the attack.

On the other side, Guan Zhang and Zhao were as fierce as tigers.

After defeating a few Cao troops, they have been attacking with surprise attacks.

Killing Cao Jun kept retreating.

Gao Ran's luck was not so good, when he met Yu Ban and Cao Hong, he was not an opponent and could not kill him.

However, under his defense, Cao Jun could not break through his block.

Yan Rou and Xu Huang also won and continued to push forward.

Cao Cao had been keeping an eye on the situation on the battlefield.

"My lord, General Lu has stopped, and he has been stopped three times."

Although there was no military general Zhang Ming, it was difficult for Lu Bu to personally lead the army to break through their obstacles.

Rushing to kill three times, causing a lot of casualties to Zhang Ming's side, but they didn't get better.

"Got it, let's find out."

"Lord, the enemy's generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun killed hundreds of meters, divided their troops at the three-fork intersection, and killed the other two streets."

"Revisit."

Bad news kept coming, and overall, Cao Cao's strength was relatively weak.

"Zhongde, our army has been fighting, and Zhang Ming's army is not as experienced as ours, and our army is actually not their opponent." Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu.

"Lord, I have carefully observed, the other party's equipment is better than ours, and the soldiers are many stronger than ours, and they have achieved the momentum of the battlefield, the overall advantage is stronger than ours, and the momentum is naturally stronger than ours."

Cao Cao was silent and did not say anything more.

Suddenly, a soldier came in a hurry.

"Report to the general, the enemy army led 20,000 people out of the camp to prepare to attack us, and the two generals Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao sent troops to fight with them outside the city."

Xi Zhicai also made a move.

This is a sign of all-out combat.

After fighting for a long time, the two sides were still in a stalemate.

Cao Cao closed his eyes deeply.

He can't take this Yecheng.

If the fight continues, both sides will definitely lose, and perhaps there will not be many people left in the armies of both sides.

However, it was difficult for Cao Cao to make up his mind after all.

"Lord, I can't hesitate." Xun You persuaded on the side.

"Okay, order the soldiers, first prepare to ignite the fire in the city, start organizing the army, and prepare to retreat."

It's not that easy to do.

Cao Cao began to give orders for the soldiers to prepare for ignition in many places.

The first thing to light was not the fire on the city wall, but the fire that was going to ignite the houses of the people in the city.

Cao Cao not only burned down the city walls, but also all the houses.

At least the side he controls is going to be burned down.

Many soldiers scattered and began to prepare.

And the fighting between the two armies continues.

Zhang Ming's army attacked like crazy.

Because, all the soldiers knew that Cao Cao was mad and wanted to burn down the city.

Cao Cao's army withstood the pressure.

And some of Cao Cao's soldiers continued to demolish houses, and others were preparing to set fires.

At the same time, barriers are erected in many places.

After two hours of preparation, the soldiers informed Cao Cao that everything was ready.

"Order the army to retreat and set the city on fire."

As soon as the order was given, fires began in many places.

And Cao's army began to retreat, and Zhang Ming's army pursued for a while, and after Zhang Ming found out, let them come back.

It was not so easy to pursue Cao Cao, and he was accidentally attacked.

In the city, fires broke out in many places.

"Burn it, destroy it and you will be reborn."

Zhang Ming thought that to save half of the city's buildings, he only needed to ask the soldiers to make an isolation belt.

But think about it, forget it, if Cao Cao suddenly kills back when extinguishing the fire, a sneak attack will outweigh the losses.

After this battle, if you want this city, you have to rebuild it.

When rebuilding, these old things were useless, and Zhang Ming might as well replan a city by himself.

The new city has a very modern plan, and you can plan a city beautifully.

"The whole army retreats."

Cao Cao burned Yecheng.

Zhang Ming and the others retreated outside the city.

Many of the corpses on both sides are about to turn to ashes along with this city.

Retreating outside the city, Zhang Ming and the others began to count the number of people.

At this time, there were only more than 50,000 people in the whole army, and after the first battle, from Youzhou to the present, more than 40,000 people were lost.

And when Cao Cao went back, he also counted the number of people, and he lost more than 10,000 people more than Zhang Ming.

Both sides have suffered heavy losses.

And Zhang Ming occupies most of Jizhou.

Except for the three counties occupied by Cao Cao, the remaining six counties were under Zhang Ming's control.

The fire burned for more than four days, and it rained heavily before it slowly went out.

Two walls were completely burned down, and two-thirds of the buildings in the city were burned.

"Send a few people in and draw everything they can."

There are professional painters in the army, Zhang Ming, who have been trained to draw maps, and there are also several war correspondents in the army, and two of them are also professional painters.

The generals, as well as the frustrated professor and the drama Zhicai, looked at the ruined city with mixed feelings.

"Who would have thought that one day, this Yecheng would end up like this, how prosperous this Yecheng was at the beginning."

He has always lived in Yecheng, but he didn't expect that the place he was familiar with at the beginning is now in ruins.

"General Protector, will you really rebuild Yecheng?" Frustrated asked.

"Yes, but this must build a strong camp around it to prevent Cao Cao from sneaking up."

"Then it took a few months to clean up the rubble, and then a lot of materials were transported, and I'm afraid it would take three years, and it would only be a prototype."

He knew that what Zhang Ming said was true, so he was very frustrated.

"Don't worry, the whole world will be unified, it will be divided for a long time, and the world must be unified."

Zhang Ming is heroic, and now he owns nearly three states, and he can be said to be tied with Cao Cao for the first prince.

"Xu Huang, Yun Chang and Gao Ran, led an army of 30,000 to garrison here, and the rest of the people, the squad went back and regrouped."

The surrounding enemies, the only people who had direct contact with Zhang Ming were the third sons of the Yuan family in Bingzhou, and then Cao Cao.

At the moment, there are only two enemies, and both enemies are temporarily out of combat power.

Cao Cao's cost and losses this time were huge, and he no longer had the ability to launch an attack.

Zhang Ming also had no way to launch a large-scale combat operation, so he could only go back temporarily.

On the way back, Zhang Ming asked Xi Zhicai: "After this battle, have we gained an advantage over Cao Cao?" ”
