Chapter 384: Fierce Battle in the City

The confrontation between the two sides is temporary, and when the two sides feel that it is appropriate, a major war will have to break out.

Zhang Ming controlled several counties and mobilized some grain and grass to come over.

Then, it's time to start recruiting.

Zhang Ming plans to recruit 50,000 recruits in Jizhou.

Jizhou has a large population, and he has gained a lot of territory, which can support more soldiers and horses.

The number of recruits of 50,000 was quickly issued, and Xi Zhicai, the minister of the military department, was also busy.

That's the benefit of having a department, with a group of professionals who are familiar with the business to operate.

Xi Zhicai arranged as he walked, he brought a bunch of people and sent them to various places on the way.

Jizhou, Yecheng, if a storm center is general, it is very calm, but a strong wind is about to blow on the periphery.

On the twentieth day of entering Yecheng, Cao Cao began to withdraw people, and the people in the city were withdrawn little by little.

These people can't come out to do things here, they can't produce any value, they can only drag down everyone.

And Zhang Ming began to do the same thing, the difference is that Zhang Ming allowed the people to take some of their belongings with them, and promised to give them land and houses.

After a few days, the city was empty.

Neither of the two large battalions outside the city withdrew their troops, and the soldiers and horses of both sides were still stationed.

Neither side is at war, but they are preparing for war.

Zhang Ming did not rush to drive the soldiers and horses to the battlefield, but quietly arranged 50,000 soldiers and horses on the periphery.

These 50,000 were the previous defenders of the city.

The defending army is all publicized to the outside world, but Zhang Ming and the others know that the combat effectiveness of these armies is not bad at all, and the training is no different from other armies.

The army has been arranged, just waiting for the time of war.

Cao Cao was also actively preparing, and he slowly accumulated grain and grass in the rear to prepare for it.

After a few days, both sides were ready.

The atmosphere in Yecheng is becoming more and more solemn.

Zhang Ming and Cao Cao are both ready for a big battle.

"My lord, everything is ready, what is the war?" Xu Huang came to ask for battle.

"Early tomorrow morning, the whole line will attack."

Zhang Ming didn't want to wait.

Wait a day, and the consumption of an army of 100,000 is a huge number.

Although, Zhang Ming has enough ability to deal with it, but it is better to solve it sooner rather than later.

Zhang Ming summoned the generals.

"Xu Huang, Gao Ran, left and right defense, me and Zilong all the way, Yide and Yunchang all the way, two ways to attack."

"Zhicai defends the large camp outside the city, and the army can be mobilized according to the situation."

After arranging, each went to prepare.

Early the next morning, Zhang Ming led the army to kill him.

The army marched forward.

Zhang Ming arrived, and Cao Jun was already waiting there.

The two sides didn't need to say much, and the two armies killed them.

On the other side, Dian Wei and Cao Ren also had Xiahou Dun.

Zhang Ming faced Dian Wei.

After eating a super strong pill, Zhang Ming's spear stabbed and was extremely fast.

Dian Wei's double halberd killed, one halberd blocked, and one halberd attacked.

Dian Wei had an ugly face and a fierce face.

Xiang Zhang Ming killed, and the double halberds smashed down in turn.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

smashed down quickly, and Zhang Ming responded one by one.

On the other side, Zhao Yun dragged the two of them.

The soldiers on both sides also rushed wildly.

The soldiers of both armies are of very high quality and are not afraid of death.

followed Zhang Ming and kept rushing to kill.

Someone kept falling, a group of people fell, and another group of people came to kill.

Zhang Ming's marksmanship has reached a certain level.

With Dian Wei's dozens of hard moves, Zhang Ming had a slight upper hand in strength.

Dian Wei's hands were a little numb from the shock.

Zhang Ming took the opportunity to stab with a spear, and used exquisite marksmanship to kill Dian Wei so that he could only deal with it left and right.

I almost went to Dian Wei a few times, and this Dian Wei is not easy to deal with, and he can still block Zhang Ming's attack very well.

"Dian Wei, although you are powerful, you are not my opponent, go and call Lu Bu to come."

After Zhang Ming gained the upper hand, he stimulated him with words.

Dian Wei was furious when he heard this, and he always refused to accept Lu Bu.

"Kill."

Dian Wei roared and killed Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming took two tricks hard, and then pretended to be defeated.

"It's now."

When Dian Wei pursued, Zhang Ming poked out a shot in his right hand, as fast as lightning.

Dian Wei hurriedly dodged the block, and Zhang Ming then pulled out the short knife hanging from the horse's neck with his left hand and slashed it with one sword.

"Poof~"

Dian Wei's arm was slashed, and a halberd was lost.

Zhang Ming quickly withdrew his spear and killed again.

"Evil comes."

Xiahoudun, who fought with Zhao Yun, found out and rushed over to rescue.

Cao Ren blocked Zhao Yun.

Zhang Ming succeeded, so he naturally would not give up, and rushed to kill, and the spear continued to attack.

Dian Wei was wounded and lost another weapon.

was not Zhang Ming's opponent, and was stabbed again by Zhang Ming.

Dian Wei's situation is very critical.

Xiahoudun killed.

Zhang Ming was still not afraid, and continued to chase and kill.

Fighting the two alone, Zhang Ming still has the upper hand.

"Evil comes, you quickly retreat."

Xiahoudun blocked it and let Dian Wei retreat.

"Retreat together."

Dian Wei knew that Xiahoudun was not an opponent, and the two had to retreat together.

"Hmph." Zhang Ming snorted coldly and said, "Then let's stay together." ”

Zhang Ming killed, the two were invincible, and they kept retreating.

Over there, as soon as Xiahoudun left, Cao Ren was not an opponent alone, and he could only retreat.

"Die."

Zhang Ming attacked several times in a row, and the two of them had flaws, Zhang Ming probed with a shot and went straight to Xiahoudun's vital point.

At the critical moment, Dian Wei shot and missed the spear.

Zhang Ming's spear pierced Xiahoudun's shoulder socket.

"Ah~"

Xiahoudun screamed miserably.

"Die."

Dian Wei was in a hurry and threw over the remaining halberd in his hand.

Zhang Ming didn't have a chance to continue the attack and retreated.

Xiahoudun's blood rushed out and he was seriously injured.

Dian Wei hurriedly ran away with Xiahoudun in his arms.

Zhang Ming killed again.

This side was defeated by Zhang Ming, and Cao Ren was defeated and also withdrew.

"The enemy army was defeated and retreated, and the whole army rushed and killed."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Ming covered up and killed.

Defeat the enemy and rush all the way through.

Cao's army has been defeated by Zhang Ming, who is so unforgiving that he has been rushing to kill with his army.

Covered in blood, he still kept rushing to kill.

Several times, Cao Jun stopped resisting, but he couldn't stop a group of tigers and wolves led by Zhang Ming and Zhao Yun.

Fight your way up the streets.

Chasing all the way, Cao Jun left a corpse in one place.

In the rear, Cao Cao received the news and urgently set up an obstacle, which Yu Ban led his troops to block.

Zhang Ming rushed to kill again for a while, but failed to break through the enemy's defenses, so he led his troops to retreat.

Cao's army suffered huge losses, and thousands of elites were defeated by Zhang Ming.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went all the way, but they failed to succeed and were blocked by Lu Bu, and the two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner.

In the rest of the roads, Zhang Ming generally has the upper hand.

After a fierce battle for half a day, in the afternoon, they each withdrew their troops and replaced them with a group of resting troops.

In this battle, Cao's army lost more than 10,000 people, and Zhang Ming also lost more than 7,000 people.

Both sides suffered huge losses.

Then, in the afternoon, the two sides tacitly agreed to a truce, and each sent troops to collect the corpses of the soldiers, and then transported them outside the city for burial.

"Fight again tomorrow."

Cao Jun, Dian Wei and Xiahoudun were all seriously injured and were carried to the rear for treatment.

The time has come for both sides to decide the winner.
