Cao Cao has been commanding the soldiers to fight, and he is bound to defend the eastern county city.

Cao Hong and Cao Ren, don't let him transfer to both sides of the city wall, command the soldiers, strengthen the defense of the city wall, only Li Dian and Xi Zhicai are on his side.

With a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, Li Dian stood in front of Cao Cao, slashing down the arrows that shot up from under the city, and slashing the enemy who wanted to climb up.

As for Xi Zhicai, he is also hiding behind, he is a civilian official, not a military general, the sword hanging from his waist is just a decoration, and the battle has no effect, but he is constantly thinking about countermeasures.

There is also the root cause of one's own inability to use one's ability.

If this one problem can be dealt with, then they will not be passive because they are worried about the affairs of the Yellow Turbans.

It is completely possible to go directly to the battle and fight the enemy.

But no matter what, the battle continues.

And while the battle is taking place here.

But there was a general, who walked up from the city with two soldiers and quickly headed towards Cao Cao.

"Lord!" The general came to Cao Cao's side and arched his hand.

Hear the words.

Cao Cao also reacted.

After all, his attention was in the enemy army before, and he was fighting, and there was time to pay attention to the generals who came up from the city, and now he commanded the soldiers to fight, and he didn't have much free time.

"Wen Qian, why are you here, could it be that something has changed at the East Gate?" Cao Cao asked.

Except for Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Li Dian on his side, the rest of the generals, such as Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and Le Jin, were all sent by him to the other three city gates to defend.

And Le Jin is the general who defends the east gate, and in order to be precautionary, he also asked Cheng Yu to assist.

Xi Zhicai's attention was also retracted, and he looked at Le Jin.

And the armor on Le Jin's body did not have any traces, which means that nothing happened on the east gate, otherwise the armor on Le Jin's body would not be so clean, and only Le Jin came from there with two soldiers.

This says a lot about it.

Under the gaze of Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai.

"Back to the lord, there has been no change at the east gate, but there is no enemy attack on the east gate, and the enemy army that was originally surrounded outside the east gate has also retreated, worried that the enemy army will have a plan, so Lord Cheng stayed at the east gate, and his subordinates came to report, and the south gate and the north gate were led by Zhang Miao and Liu Dai in person!" Lejin said.

He also dragged out all the information he knew.

was sent by Cao Cao to garrison at the east gate, but he did not encounter any attacks, but the other three city gates were attacked, and no matter how he thought about it, it looked like he had a plan.

After all, before coming, he went to the south gate and the north gate.

The enemy forces at the east gate retreated?

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other.

It is clear that with the behavior of Zhang Miao and others, it is impossible to do meaningless things, they have already done it, how can they leave a chance for them.

"This is a circumference of three missing one!" Xi Zhicai said, "Only attacking three gates, leaving one, that will give us a chance to break through, and when the time comes, the soldiers will not have the heart to fight to the death, and their morale will be greatly reduced!" ”

Hearing the words,.

Cao Cao also figured out the bends and bends at once, after all, Xi Zhicai was not wrong, he had a chance to live, so how could the soldiers still have a firm determination to fight to the death.

As a result, morale will be greatly weakened.

There is not much chance of winning, and if there is no morale, then there is no need to talk about it.

"What do you think Zhicai should do?" Cao Cao asked.

Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment and said: "Lord, although the enemy army at the East Gate has retreated, if we break through, we will definitely encounter an ambush, and Zhang Miao and the others wish we could break through from the East Gate, but the subordinates think that this is also an opportunity, a chance for the Lord to leave!" ”

After speaking.

also looked at Cao Cao seriously.

If the four city gates are still surrounded, the chance of breaking through is not great, but if the enemy army outside the east gate retreats, even if there is an ambush on the road, he has a great certainty that Cao Cao can break through.

After all, he didn't want Cao Cao to die here.

It's good that he doesn't have a chance, but now that he has a chance, he still wants Cao Cao to break through and leave, instead of staying.

"It's not right!" Cao Cao directly objected, "Don't say that I can't let go of these soldiers who have been fighting with me for a long time, just say that if you break out, where can you stay?" It's just a fight to the death! ”

Breakout thing.

It's not that he didn't think about it, when he was surrounded by the regiments, Zhang Baiqi and the others had not yet started to attack, but when they were besieging the city, he had already thought about it.

But what about after breaking out?

You must know that now the princes everywhere in the Central Plains have soldiers and horses, and these people will not give up their territory in vain, and they will definitely have to do a game.

What's the difference between that and what is it now? What's more, his family is in the city, and even his father was taken to the city by him.

There is also a lot of risk involved in breaking out.

"But...!" Xi Zhicai still wanted to persuade.

And Le Jin and Li Dian also have persuasive thoughts in their eyes.

But before he could speak, he was stopped.

"Needless to say, I have already made a decision, the city is here, the city is broken, and that's it!" Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a determined look and said.

After all, he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he has been beaten to the door, how can he easily retreat.

continued: "Since there is no war at the East Gate, Wen Qian, you go back quickly and mobilize soldiers and horses to come!" ”

"No!"

Seeing Cao Cao's expression.

Le Jin could only reluctantly respond to Cao Cao's arrangement, preparing to return to the east gate, and mobilize some of the soldiers guarding the east gate, but when he turned to leave, he noticed Xi Zhicai's eyes, nodded slightly, and signaled.

The small actions of the two did not arouse Cao Cao's idea.

After the order is done.

Cao Cao turned his attention back to the battlefield.

Although they were on the side of the city walls, there were 400 Yellow Turban Armorers among the enemy troops besieging the city, and they were under great pressure.

And the stones that were originally prepared are about to be consumed.

Even if there are still arrows, when the prepared stones are consumed, the strength of the counterattack will be greatly reduced.

What's more, arrows can't do much damage to the Yellow Turbans, and falling rocks can't kill the Yellow Turbans, but they can make it difficult for them to climb the city walls.

The situation is slowly becoming more serious.

Cao Cao was in a hurry, but there was no solution.

As for Xi Zhicai, he can't use his skills, only wisdom.

Although the wisdom is stronger than others, but it also has to be divided into situations, the current situation, just has wisdom, and it doesn't have much effect, at least he has no ability, he has no way to deal with the Yellow Turban Armor.
