Chapter 168 Reinforcements Arrive

With the fire, those strong men who wanted to escape were all forced onto the city wall.

On the city wall, soldiers and horses led by Zhang He were everywhere.

It is impossible for these strong men to stand there and let the soldiers and horses led by Zhang He attack them. Everyone on the left and right is dead. Now, they can only fight hard.

In a desperate situation, these eight thousand strong men broke out with terrifying fighting power.

"Brothers, everyone on the left and right is dead!"

"Fight with them! Fight with them!"

"Kill one to protect your capital, kill two to earn one."

Under the desperate situation, these strong men raised their weapons and fought with Zhang He's army.

At this time, they had no way out and could only fight to the death.

At this time, Zhang He also discovered that something was wrong.

Why are there so many extra soldiers on this city wall?

Moreover, why did the fire burn in the rear and block the retreat of these soldiers?

Zhang He grabbed a strong man, put a knife on his neck, and asked angrily: "Who are you?"

Zhang He had already seen that these people had no military training at all and were not soldiers at all.

"Hundred"

"Strong men, we are strong men." The man replied in horror.

After hearing this answer, Zhang He kicked the man away and cursed: "This Su Ming is so shameless!"

"He actually let the strong men go up the city wall to stop the enemy, and used fire to block the way of the strong men, forcing these strong men to fight to the death with us."

"This is using the lives of strong men to consume our military strength!"

Only then did the deputy general on the side realize that these were all strong men! No wonder, no wonder their combat effectiveness was so poor.

"They are all common people, so should we kill them or not?" the deputy general asked Zhang He.

To kill or not?

Now it is not a question of whether to kill or not, but a question of whether to kill or not.

Su Ming used such a vicious trick. If they didn't kill them, they wouldn't be able to capture Yecheng.

Zhang He closed his eyes and ordered cruelly: "Kill!"

"We must capture Yecheng tonight at all costs."

On the city wall, the shouts of killing shook the sky.

People on both sides continued to fall down. At this time, the ground was full of corpses, blood, and broken meat.

The blood can even cover people's calves, and the entire city wall is filled with the smell of blood.

At the same time, Cao Hong led three thousand leopard cavalry towards Yecheng day and night. He had already arrived thirty miles away from Yecheng.

"General Cao Hong, look, there seems to be a fire in the direction of Yecheng!" the deputy general said, pointing in the direction of Yecheng.

Cao Hong looked intently towards Yecheng and saw that the sky in the direction of Yecheng was full of fire, and everything was red.

"broken!"

"I'm afraid Yecheng has been lost!" Cao Hong couldn't help but feel a little hasty in his tone when he saw the flames soaring in the direction of Yecheng.

If Yecheng is lost, then Su Ming will probably be in bad luck.

When Cao Hong came, Cao Cao had already told him that Yecheng could be lost, but Su Ming must be saved.

If Su Ming died in the battle, Cao Hong would have no shame in going back to see Cao Cao.

Cao Hong was really anxious. You must know that Su Ming was no ordinary general. He was Cao Cao's son.

Moreover, he is by far the most capable and promising son of Cao Cao.

Su Ming can be said to be the last hope of the old Cao family.

"Rush, rush forward."

"If you want to see the person alive, if you want to see the corpse if you die, no matter what, you must find Mr. Su Ming for me!" Cao Hong gave the order.

Cao Hong thought to himself, if I can't find Mr. Su Ming, I won't go back to see the prime minister.

I, Cao Hong, just wiped my neck with a knife at the gate of Yecheng.

Now, Cao Hong was extremely hopeful. He hoped that Yecheng had not been captured yet, and he only hoped that he could arrive and rescue Su Ming.

Su Ming, although he had not yet recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan, changed his surname to Cao.

However, the blood of the old Cao family remains in his body. This is the hope of the old Cao family!

At this moment, Cao Hong had no other option. He could only order his three thousand leopard cavalry to rush to Yecheng as quickly as possible.

"drive!"

"Drive, drive!"

Cao Hong and the others whipped their horses' whips on their butts desperately, and the horses spread their hooves and ran forward with all their strength.

It can be said that these horses used all their strength. In other words, these horses have no wings. If they had wings, these horses could fly on the spot.

At the same time, the battle on the city wall was extremely fierce.

As the old saying goes, if one person fights hard, ten people can't stop him.

When these strong men lost their way out and had no choice but to fight to the death, the fighting power they displayed should not be underestimated.

After two or three hours of fighting, the army led by Zhang He on the city wall had the absolute upper hand.

Of the eight thousand strong men, there are still more than a thousand left. These people rely on some buildings in the city gate tower and are still resisting.

At this time, almost all of the city walls had fallen into Zhang He's hands.

However, since all the exits from the city wall were blocked by firewood, Zhang He and the others were unable to leave the city wall for the time being.

"The overall situation has been decided, just slowly besiege the remaining troops on the city gate tower."

"This fire won't last long. After the fire is extinguished, we can open the city gate at dawn and welcome the army into the city!" Zhang He had already captured almost all the city walls, and he now looked like he was sure of victory.

At the same time, three thousand leopard cavalry led by Cao Hong had also arrived around Yecheng.

"Report!"

"General Cao Hong, there are still shouts of killing from the city walls of Ye City. It seems that Ye City has not been lost yet."

"In front of us is Zhang He's camp!" the scout reported to Cao Hong.

Hearing that Yecheng had not been lost, Cao Hong couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Yecheng has not been lost yet, which is the best news for Cao Hong.

However, there is news and there is bad news.

Although Yecheng has not been lost yet, the shouts of killing in Yecheng are already very weak.

Obviously, it won't be long before they are captured by Zhang He.

Cao Hong hesitated slightly and said in a deep voice: "At this moment, there is no other way but to surround Wei and rescue Zhao."

"We stormed Zhang He's camp, forced Zhang He to withdraw his troops, and rescued our own camp."

As soon as Cao Hong came up with this idea, the deputy general immediately advised him: "General Cao Hong, we still don't know how many troops and horses there are in Zhang He's camp."

"Isn't it a bit rash to attack rashly? How about we send out a scout first to inquire about the situation in Zhang He's camp before attacking?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Hong immediately became angry and shouted: "Inquire about the situation?"

"By the time you find out what's going on, Ye City has been lost a long time ago. We can just collect Master Su Ming's body!"

"Listen to my order and storm Zhang He's camp at all costs. I must force Zhang He to return reinforcements."

"Even if we fight to the death, we still have to ensure the safety of Master Su Ming."
