"A quarter of an hour is up. Have you come up with the result of your discussion?"

When the promised time limit came, Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, and Bao Xin rode their horses to the foot of the tower to wait for their reply.

Seeing Xiahou Dun coming, Yin Li replied with a smile.

"To tell you what the general said, I want to surrender. Many brothers also have the same idea as me, but..."

As he said that, Yin Li put on an expression that was hesitant to speak.

Seeing that Yin Li suddenly stopped talking, Xiahou Dun shouted to him

"But what? If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have a fart, hurry up, and don't leave any ink!"

Seeing Xiahou Dun so anxious, Yin Li adjusted his attitude and then replied

"It's just that the number of people who are willing to surrender only accounts for a small part, and the remaining people just surrender if they don't want to."

Yin Li put on a helpless expression, but Xiahou Dun didn't care.

"That is to say, you are not planning to surrender, right?"

"That's what it means on a large scale"

"I understand, then you should be prepared."

After Xiahou Dun finished speaking, the three of them reined in their horses and went back. Looking at their backs, Yin Li also murmured to himself:

"I have tried my best, Zang Ba, the rest is up to you..."

Just as he was looking into the distance, he suddenly said "Attack the city!" and broke the previous calm. Then he saw the "tail" of the trebuchet tilted up, and the boulder was thrown directly into the air, heading towards Taishan County.

Some hit the city wall; some hit the crowd, and screams were heard all around at the same time...

After the first wave of offensive ended, they saw several gaps in the city wall, and the pawns who were hit were basically dead. Even those who were affected were either covered in blood or missing arms and legs.

, screaming in agony.

"Everyone should hide under the tower first!"

After receiving Yin Li's order, all the pawns immediately ran towards the stairs, hoping to be the first to run down. As a result, everyone was stuck there, making it difficult to move. Seeing this, Yin Li was moved.

When he was tired, he started to give instructions.

"Don't crowd, come in order!"

After Yin Li finished speaking, he wanted to step forward to control the situation. Within two steps, a huge boulder flew from the sky and landed in front of him. Yi Li reacted quickly. Seeing that he was in danger, he jumped back.

, but even so, the gravel burst out from the boulder still scratched his left leg and right arm. For a moment, Yin Li only felt that the burning pain was aroused, and he felt the pain with a grimace.

"follow me!"

He only heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears. Yin Li felt someone dragging his body. Looking back, he saw Chang Xi, dragging him down the stairs on the other side.

"It looks like it will be over soon."

Bao Xin, who was watching the battle below, looked at the dilapidated city wall in front of him, and finally felt that the time for revenge was getting closer and closer, and he gripped the spear tighter.

But just when everyone thought it was over, several screams suddenly came from behind the army.

"Why is there a commotion in the rear?"

Xiahou Dun asked the reason behind him, and soon someone came to report.

"Reporting to the general, there are enemies in the rear, suspected to be bandit reinforcements!"

After hearing the news, Xiahou Dun couldn't believe it.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"What are you talking about? Aren't they all inside the city? Why are there reinforcements outside?"

"Perhaps they already knew that we would attack them, so they divided into two parts, one part occupied the city, and the other part hid outside to take care of each other."

"Hmph, quite cunning"

After listening to Yu Jin's explanation, Xiahou Dun made a suggestion

"The two generals continue to attack the city here. I will lead an army alone to pursue the reinforcements."

After the explanation, Xiahou Dun was about to leave, but was intercepted by Bao Xin.

"No, General! These thieves are extremely cunning and follow the mountains. We suffered a loss last time and lost the county. They are doing this now. It is obvious that they want us to attack again and fall into their trap."

, the general cannot be impulsive and give them an opportunity!"

Bao Xin's words made Xiahou Dun fall into thinking, and then someone came running from behind and reported back.

"General, the rear of our army has been harassed by bandits, but they are so good at hiding that we can't catch them at all. If this continues, the morale of our army will be greatly reduced!"

Following his words, another scream came from the rear. The soldiers were looking left and right. Many people's faces had begun to show panic. Seeing them like this, Xiahou Dun understood that it was no longer suitable.

If he delayed it any longer, he immediately gave the order:

"Present a defensive posture toward the bandits' reinforcements, prepare for battle toward the Taishan County City, and retreat slowly!"

After Xiahou Dun issued the order, the soldiers in the rear raised their shields one after another, while the soldiers in the front row pointed their bows and arrows in the direction of the city. The trebuchets all turned around and began to evacuate...

"Brother, they are starting to retreat"

Behind the reinforcements, the little bandit leader was reporting the movements of Cao's army to Zang Ba, the commander-in-chief of the Taishan bandits.

“Continue to harass, don’t let them go too comfortably.”

"Understood"

After Zang Ba's order was issued, bows and arrows would attack from time to time in the grass and on the back of the hillside as Cao's army retreated. Although there were shields for defense, loopholes would appear if you were not careful, and someone would be hit by an arrow from time to time.

Someone would fall down and lose their lives, and Xiahou Dun's side kept counterattacking, but the effect was very little, almost zero. In this situation where Cao Jun was constantly being beaten but had nowhere to fight back, he sacrificed countless

At the cost of thousands of soldiers, we were finally out of the scope of the bandits' activities...

"saved"

Seeing that the army below the tower had retreated, Chang Xi, who was nestled above, wiped his forehead and was thankful that his life had been saved.

The injured Yin Li also limped to his side, looked at the tragic scene around him, and said to Chang Xi.

"Let them repair this place. I want to go back for treatment first."

After hearing Yin Li's request, Chang Xi did not look at him, but said casually

"Go ahead"

"Please serve some snacks, this is not a child's play."

Facing the other party's repeated instructions, perhaps wanting to send him away as soon as possible, Chang Xi said to him

"Don't worry, can't I just add these holes for him?"

To be honest, Chang Xi's attitude made Yin Li very dissatisfied, but the wounds on his body were indeed painful, so he suppressed his inner boredom, said nothing more, and went for treatment.

While fighting in other places, Wen Du finally came to You

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Within the prefecture, they arrived at Liu Bei's camp.

"Big brother, second brother, look who's coming!"

As soon as they entered the camp, Zhang Fei's voice roared out. Liu Bei and others, who had been looking down at the sand table, raised their heads due to his voice. They originally wanted to reprimand Zhang Fei and call him

Liu Bei, who wanted to be polite, forgot about the incident after seeing the person coming behind Zhang Fei.

"Xuan Degong, Brother Yun, long time no see."

Wen Du bowed his head slightly to several people in greeting. When Liu Bei saw that it was him, he immediately put down the map in his hand, walked over with a smile, and took Wen Du's arm affectionately.

"Since the last time we said goodbye, I have always been thinking about my dear brother. I wonder how my dear brother is doing lately."

"Thank you for your concern, brother. I eat well, sleep well, and my weight keeps increasing."

Along with the joke, Wen Du also pinched the flesh on his face. This move really made everyone laugh. Then, Wen Du noticed that there was someone he knew next to him.

"General Gongsun, is this the second time you and I have met?"

"Yes, your performance in the battle against Dong is as if it happened yesterday, and it is still vivid in my mind."

"I heard about it on the way here. I'm very sorry about Baima Yicong. How is General Zhao Yun's situation now?"

After hearing his own sadness, the smile on Gongsun Zan's face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Thank you for your concern. After several days of rest and recuperation, Zilong's health is getting better, and Baima Yicong, they are both upright men. Although they are no longer here, their spiritual will will be passed down forever!

Even if I’m the only one who remembers it”

"This man has passed away. General, please feel relieved. In addition, there is something I want to mention. If I have offended the general, please forgive me."

"Speaking"

"As the saying goes, people cannot be resurrected after death. Now that the previous White Horse Yi Cong has been destroyed, the general should consider recruiting new people to fill the gap."

Wen Du spoke very frankly and did not mean to be secretive. When the other party heard Wen Du's suggestion, he agreed with his idea and replied:

"I understand this, but I will do it if you don't tell me. I don't think I will let Bai Ma Yicong disappear. They are in heaven, and they will forgive me when they learn about this."
