    I received flowers from "Invincible Rookie" again. You are such a good person. As a thank you, I have two updates today, so stay tuned!  Looking forward to more Huahua in the future!  O(¡É_¡É)O ¡°Brother Benchu, you and I can take turns guarding the city day and night to prevent the bandits from attacking the city!¡± Cao Cao said to Yuan Shao beside him after Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song left.  "What Meng De said is true. We must fulfill our duties! Please ask Meng De to go back and rest first. I will stay at the top of the city first. When night comes, Meng De can come and take my place!" Yuan Shao replied with a smile.  "That's it, Cao Cao goes back first!" Cao Cao said with his hands in hand, turned around and walked down the city wall, running towards the military camp!  This Yuan Benchu ??is still a bit greedy for petty gains. It is already noon. He only needs to hold on for half a day, but he has to hold on for the whole night.  Since he was a child, he has loved to take advantage of others. He always ignores his own interests and relies on his prominent family background. He always treats others with flattering words. Even to his boss, he always wants to see if the other person's family background is better than his own.  Zhu Jun¡¯s judgment was correct. In the past two days, the Yellow Turban bandits had only cut down trees and built siege equipment, and had not even reached the front of the city.  But on the third day, when it was still dark, Cao Cao, who was guarding the city, faintly heard the sounds of chaotic footsteps.  Cao Cao stood up, straightened out his clothes that were wrinkled from sleeping, and stretched his head to look outside the city.  Faintly seeing Huo Huo's figure in the distance, approaching the city wall, Cao Cao hurriedly pulled out the torch stuck on the top of the city and threw it into the air with all his strength.  The torch was spinning and falling from the air, gradually reflecting the figures around it.  "The enemy is attacking! The Yellow Turbans are attacking the city!" Cao Cao shouted loudly.  Immediately, the soldiers who were sleeping on the ground with their clothes on were awakened by Cao Cao, and they stood up one by one.  The soldiers in charge of the alarm bells started beating the bells even harder.  A long and urgent alarm bell rang immediately, and the sound of the bell spread towards the military camp in the city!  "Come on!" The yellow scarf thieves who were discovered by the army rushed towards the head of Ye County City under the command of military advisor Guo Baitai, and put a series of ladders on the top of the city. Then the bandit soldiers climbed up desperately!  "The enemy is attacking!" "The enemy is coming up!" The officers and soldiers who were caught off guard shouted loudly and thrust their weapons at the thieves who climbed up the city wall.  The soldiers in the military camp who were awakened by the alarm bell rushed towards the city head under the leadership of their respective commanders.  At this time, every soldier wished he had two more legs and arrived at the city wall early!  "Don't panic! Brother Yizhen! Let's take our positions!" Zhu Jun emerged from the tent and shouted, waving his sword.  For the Yellow Turban attack, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, as commanders, had already prepared countermeasures. Soldiers from each unit rushed to each city under the leadership of their respective commanders.  "Kill!" "Go to hell!" The soldiers guarding the city head struggled to kill the thieves in front of them.  "Don't panic! The archers are lined up in the city! Listen to my order and launch!" Cao Cao killed a bandit with one sword and shouted to the archers running from the camp.  At this time, there has been a hand-to-hand encounter. It is useless for the archers to come up at this time. It will only make the city more chaotic!  With the order, the archers lined up under the city wall under the leadership of the chief, each of them picked up the long bow in their hands and pointed it diagonally at the sky!  "Fire the arrows!" Cao Cao saw the archers forming a formation and shouted hurriedly when they were ready.  In an instant, the arrow soared into the air, flew over the city wall, and then struck hard into the crowd of yellow scarves below the city.  "Ah!" "Ah! Help me!" "" A large number of yellow scarf soldiers were shot by arrows. The lucky ones were shot to death on the spot, but the unfortunate ones were still struggling on the ground!  "Shoot again!" Cao Cao shouted to the archers again.  "Meng De, don't panic, Zhu Jun is here!" Just when the city wall was in danger, Zhu Jun rushed to the top of the city with his sword and shield soldiers, withstood the Yellow Turban attack, and then fought back with all his strength.  "Come forward, halberdier soldiers, and lift the ladder out!" Zhu Jun, surrounded by personal guards, shouted loudly to the halberdier soldiers who had just rushed over.  "Damn it! Order the archers to fight back!" Seeing that the sneak attack turned into a strong attack, Bo Cai became angry again and shouted to the messenger beside him.  Suddenly, groups of yellow turban archers who had been prepared rushed out of the camp and rushed towards the city wall!  "Hurry up and throw rocks and logs!" Zhu Jun had just wiped out the Yellow Turbans at the top of the city, and issued a new combat order.  Soon, the rocks and logs hit the Yellow Turban soldiers below like hailstones, and the Yellow Turban soldiers below were immediately smashed.The people who were hit by the soldiers were turned upside down, their muscles and bones were broken, and they were wailing incessantly!  "Shoot the arrows!" Guo Baitai shouted to the archers who rushed to the city wall.  There are five thousand archers in the Bocai camp. These archers have been trained briefly. The captains inside are former hunters. Under the command of each captain, these soldiers can shoot bows and arrows in a decent manner.  "Ah!" "The enemy fired arrows!" Many officers and soldiers who were hit by arrows wailed loudly!  "Shield and cover!" Zhu Jun saw the move and quickly shouted loudly.  The sword and shield soldiers immediately formed a formation nearby, protecting their comrades under the cover of their shields and continuing to throw stones and logs!  "Bump the door for me!" Bocai waved his hand, and immediately more than fifty strong men rushed forward holding a shield in one hand and a huge wooden block in the other. The entire formation was like a centipede running quickly.  "Keep shooting arrows!" Cao Cao and Guo Baitai gave the order at the same time.  The arrows from both sides kept intertwining in the air, and occasionally collided with each other and fell down in the air.  "Ah!" "" The wounded soldiers on both sides screamed in pain, but the Yellow Turbans under the city suffered more casualties, and the injured were all archers. Cao Cao did this deliberately.  Only by attacking the enemy can we keep our own people safe!  The Yellow Turban archers who were attacked by the official archers were immediately killed and injured in large numbers. The entire formation was uneven as if it had been ravaged by a strong wind.  Every pair of bows and arrows used by the official army is made by professional craftsmen in strict accordance with the regulations. However, except for the captured bows and arrows of the Yellow Turbans, they are all homemade. The quality and range are far inferior to those of the official army!  This is also the reason why the casualties of the Yellow Turban archers far exceed those of the official army.  After several consecutive arrow strikes, the Yellow Turban archers were completely dead and wounded and could no longer pose a threat to the official army.  However, the Yellow Turban soldiers below still rushed towards the city head without fear of death, without any concern for the stones or rolling logs thrown at them!  "Archers on the city wall!" After killing the Yellow Turban archers, Cao Cao continued to shout.  At this time, the Yellow Turban soldiers were rarely seen on the wall, and they were basically suppressed under the city wall by the officers and soldiers.  The archers lined up on the city wall, lined up again, and took advantage of the height bonus of the city wall to shoot the arrows higher and farther!  Among the 50,000 officers and soldiers brought by Zhu Jun, there are also 5,000 archers. These archers have been trained for many years, and their archery skills far exceed those of the enemy.  At this time, the sky has brightened, the field of vision is clearer, and the archers' attacks are even more merciless. If they focus their attacks, they will soon be able to shoot the yellow scarf crowd directly in front of them.  "Boom!" The wooden bumper carried by the yellow scarf warriors hit the city gate. The sound was deafening, and it made the soldiers at the city gate tremble at their feet and make their ears ring.  "Hold the city gate!" Zhu Jun shouted loudly.  The soldiers in the city gate cave roared and pressed their bodies against the city gate. They were knocked open again and again and pushed back again and again.  "Hurry up and throw the rocks and logs down!" Without Zhu Jun's order, the officers and soldiers on the city gate immediately threw the rocks and logs stacked in front of them and threw them down.  In a short time, more than half of the yellow turban warriors below were killed and injured. It was no longer enough to lift the bumper, so I could only hide in the city gate hole to avoid the rolling stones above!  But he didn¡¯t want to be discovered by the officers and soldiers behind the door, so he hurriedly sent out halberd soldiers, stretched out their halberds from under the door, and kept hooking and stabbing at the feet of the yellow scarf soldiers!  "Keep hitting the door!" Seeing that the first group of yellow scarf warriors who hit the door were dead and injured, Bocai waved his hand and fifty more warriors rushed towards the city gate with shields.  "Order Gongdu to feign attack at the east city gate!" Looking at the running warriors, Bocai shouted to the ordering soldiers beside him.  Before attacking the city, military advisor Guo Baitai also designed the siege strategy in detail. In addition to sneak attack on the south city wall before dawn, he also fully considered sending a team of men and horses to pretend to attack the east city gate when the two sides were in a stalemate, trying to disperse the defenders' forces.  " However, Huangfu Song was guarding the east of the city. Huangfu Song was also a famous general in the army. He had experienced hundreds of battles and did not give the Yellow Turbans a chance to ascend the city. He suppressed the Yellow Turban thieves under the city wall.  The city wall of Ye County is not very big and cannot accommodate all the officers and soldiers for combat, so a reserve team of 20,000 people is left. Therefore, the Yellow Turbans have no chance of attacking the city this time.  "Liu Pi! Send out all the scouts and guard against Liu Bei's army in Yingchuan, and then attack all of your troops. I want to go south to Ye County before the reinforcements!" Bo Cai saw that he could not attack for a long time, so he took Liu Pi.  Twenty thousand horses pressed forward.    "Promise!" Liu Pi had no choice but to act as ordered.  Many yellow scarf soldiers picked up the bows and arrows of the dead archers under the cover of their shields, and shot the arrows towards the top of the city. They also caused some casualties to the officers and soldiers, but they would soon be suppressed by the officers and soldiers.  !  "The damn yellow turban thieves will come here to attack the city if they can! If I don't kill you, you will cry for your father and mother!" Yuan Shao walked anxiously up and down on the west wall.  At this time, Yuan Shao also wanted to make great achievements, but there were no thieves to attack the west city wall he was guarding!  "Fire arrows!" Cao Cao shouted hoarsely, commanding the archers to suppress the Yellow Turban archers.  The long shouting made Cao Cao's voice a little hoarse and his throat felt as if it was on fire. However, he could no longer care about it at this time and still insisted on the city wall.  Under the protection of several soldiers, Zhu Jun looked around the entire battlefield. The beacon fire on the city wall was still on, but the Yellow Turbans outside had increased their troops, and the crowd was rushing towards the city wall.  Seeing that it was not an option to continue fighting so mindlessly, and the expected Liu Bei did not arrive, this made Zhu Jun a little anxious.  "Order to bring kerosene to the top of the city and burn the rebel ladders!" In desperation, Zhu Jun could only use this method to reduce the number of enemy siege ladders to relieve the pressure on the defenders.  Soon, groups of soldiers carried the kerosene collected over the past few days to the top of the city, threw it at the ladders, and then threw down the torches in unison, directly igniting the ladders, and many unlucky soldiers also set fire to them.  The burned one screamed.  Seeing the burning ladder, Cao Cao and others finally took a breath and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.  The yellow scarf warriors at the city gate were also in bad luck. Many soldiers smashed fire oil cans at the yellow scarf warriors who were carrying the wooden sticks, burning their skin and flesh, and even the wooden sticks were ignited.  "Retreat!" Seeing that it was already noon, and the ladder was burned down, and the soldiers could not climb the city, Bo Cai could only order the troops to withdraw!  "Oh! The thieves have retreated!" Many officers and soldiers shouted excitedly, as if they were surviving a disaster.  Many soldiers fainted directly.  After all, it was already August, and the weather was extremely hot. Many soldiers suffered from heatstroke during the fierce battle. As soon as the rebels retreated, their nerves slowed down and they collapsed on the city walls.
