Qingzhou, Chengyang County, outside the city.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The sounds of killing filled the entire battlefield. Rows of Cao's troops were arranged in an orderly manner, holding up their swords at their waists, constantly knocking on the shields in their hands, making a sound of killing shouts with a rainbow of force, constantly using their own actions to provoke the defenders on the city.

At this moment, Guan Hai, the general on the top of the city, was glaring at Cao Jun below with fire.

Guan Hai shouted violently and could no longer help but feel angry: "Damn, is Xiahou Yuan too bullying? He actually dared to attack my Chengyang County with just five thousand soldiers. Since you don't take me Guan Hai seriously, I want you to go without returning today!" As he said that, Guan Hai waved his hand and prepared to let the soldiers around him go out of the city with him to fight.

However, a tall figure blocked Guan Hai.

Guan Hai glared at the eye and said, "Ju Yi, what do you want to do? I will now order to leave the city to meet the enemy. Could it be that you want to be a turtle in this city, and the other party will yell at your doorstep!"

"General Guan Hai must not misunderstand it. Ju Yi has no intention. But the general was thinking in his heart that Xiahou Dun only led 5,000 troops to attack the city, which was completely a hit with eggs. In my opinion, Xiahou Yuan is definitely not a simple general, so I guess there must be heavy troops outside his city. Please think twice and don't fall into the enemy's strategy casually!"

Guan Hai snorted coldly: "Now there are 30,000 defenders in Chengyang County, but Xiahou Yuan only brought five thousand soldiers to the battlefield. Can I not see that he has ambush outside?"

"Just!" Guan Hai changed his subject and continued: "Before this, I had sent spies to find out the whereabouts of their team. Maybe they brought ten thousand people, but they just wanted to take down Chengyang County with ten thousand people and want to make ground on my Guan Hai's head. Do you underestimate me Guan Hai too much? I also know that Xiahou Yuan does have some skills, but in terms of martial arts, he will always be the courage of an ordinary man. Can he defeat my entire 30,000 army!"

Guan Hai was completely roaring and saying this to shock Ju Yi.

However, Ju Yi was not afraid at all and continued to say firmly: "General Guan Hai must not be careless! Even if Xiahou Yuan really only brought 10,000 troops, he was definitely the elite among the elite. Besides, the task that the lord kept me was to assist General Guan Hai to defend the city together!"

Guan Hai was furious when he heard Ju Yi's words and punched heavily on the city wall, causing dust to fall on the city wall: "Ju Yi, you have to figure out who is the commander here. Although the order given to me by the lord is indeed to defend Qingzhou, do you know that the generals are not subject to foreign military orders. Now the lord is fighting against Sun Quan in the south, and Cao also calls this a slasher to attack Qingzhou. Xiahou Yuan below is Cao's clan brother and also Cao's general. If I allow him to insult him here, what morale will be left for our soldiers? So I must go out of the city to meet the enemy now. Only when these troops of Xiahou Yuan's army are completely wiped out can we promote our military power!"

Looking at Guan Hai's violent eyes, Ju Yi sighed helplessly, and could only silently make way for Guan Hai.

Guan Hai passed by Ju Yi angrily, and finally left a sentence: "Ju Yi, if you are as timid as a mouse, you can take your men and horses here to defend the city, but then don't compete with me in front of your lord!"

Ju Yi was speechless. The reason why Guan Hai could talk to him like this was because he joined Chen Qi as a surrendered general, and he was not qualified enough. Even if he had outstanding talents, Chen Qi would not be angry with the public. He would give Ju Yi a high official and a generous salary at once. Unless Ju Yi really had the ability of Zhuge Liang, he would impress the three armies with just a victory in a battle.

Ju Yi, with 20,000 troops, went out of the city to meet the enemy in anger, and Xiahou Dun also commanded the soldiers to attack without hesitation.

However, Xiahou Yuan had only 5,000 troops in his hands, and Ju Yi led a full 20,000 people. After only half an hour, Xiahou Yuan's troops could no longer withstand, so Xiahou Yuan had to command the troops to retreat slowly.

Seeing Xiahou Yuan fleeing in a hurry, a hint of excitement flashed through Guan Hai's heart. It seemed that the time of making contributions was today. Guan Hai also commanded the troops forward without hesitation to continue chasing.

However, before Guan Hai could lead the troops to run far, another army emerged from them. However, it seemed that the number of people was not large. At most, only 3,000 people were only.

Guan Hai did not take these three thousand people seriously at all. In his opinion, it was just another group of people who died.

Guan Hai commanded the troops to attack at both ends, but something unexpected happened soon.

When Xiahou Yuan saw the troops next to him come out, he also asked the troops to turn their horses and attack Guan Hai's troops again.

Guan Hai arrived at the army that was not afraid of Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan's army was formed by ordinary soldiers and its combat effectiveness was not much stronger than theirs. The army that just emerged was very different.

I saw that the knights on the army were all holding huge steel knives, wearing black armor, and black horses under their crotch. They were all discriminatory and violent, as if they were like wild beasts smelling blood. It was obvious that these were all veterans who had experienced many battles. This was Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

The appearance of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry suddenly changed the situation on the battlefield. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry seemed like a sharp sword, directly using the sharp sword edge to enter the enemy's fragile skin. Guan Hai sent troops to fight the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and under the charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they suddenly seemed fragmented and vulnerable.

Guan Hai was shocked. Only then did he understand why Xiahou Yuan dared to lead a small number of troops to challenge the battle. It turned out that there were really Cao's elite here.

Guan Hai turned his horse's head and wanted the soldiers to retreat, return to the city and continue to defend.

However, Guan Hai and Xiahou Yuan are all first-class generals. How could they let Guan Hai come whenever he wants and leave whenever he wants? Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan were all holding a horse's back and quickly killed Guan Hai.

For some reason, Xiahou Yuan's horses were originally ordinary war horses, but they ran very fast under Xiahou Yuan's direction. After just a short moment, they caught up with Guan Hai.

Since Guan Hai began to guard Qingzhou, he regarded himself as a general and used his daily work as a central commander, so he rarely practiced martial arts. Facing Xiahou Yuan now, Guan Hai was no match for him and was directly killed by Xiahou Yuan with a knife.

Xiahou Yuan raised Guan Hai's head and kept putting pressure on Guan Hai's soldiers on the battlefield. Now the commander has been killed, and the morale of the 20,000 soldiers brought out by Guan Hai has become even lower. Cao Chun seized the opportunity and, under the rampage of the tiger and leopard cavalry, more than half of the 20,000 troops brought out by Guan Hai were killed or injured, and the rest were either captured or turned into birds and beasts and fled in scattered everywhere.

When Ju Yi learned that Guan Hai had been killed, Ju Yi's face was extremely solemn.

Ju Yi didn't have time to feel sad about Guan Hai's death. At this moment, Ju Yi was just worried about another thing. Cao even moved his tiger and leopard cavalry. Is it really just to kill Guan Hai?

Ju Yi did not hesitate too much and immediately organized the soldiers to form an effective formation, making Chengyang County defense airtight.

However, after a whole day, Xiahou Yuan did not come to cause trouble again, which made Ju Yi even more nervous. He did not believe that Cao would miss such a good opportunity.

As Ju Yi expected, the next day, with the rumbling sound of the ground, huge catapults were pushed under the city of Chengyang County.

Cao Gao sat on the horse, looking at Ju Yi on the top of the city with a smile on his face.

Cao waved his hand, and the siege equipment such as the catapult machine tool and crossbow were pushed to the front. With Cao's order, deafening rumbling sounds sounded, and huge rocks rose into the air, casting like the direction of Chengyang County. The defenders of Chengyang County did not dare to stay for too long. They looked for places to dodge everywhere, fearing that they were hit by the huge rock.

The crossbow squirted the giant crossbow. This engineering tool with huge lethality directly beat the defenders on the city to a great suffering. He could only bury his head underneath, for fear that he would be hit by the crossbow, and his internal organs might be beaten out.

The soldiers on the top of the city did not dare to fight at all. Cao directly ordered Xiahou Yuan to dismount and fight in the field, and personally led the soldiers to attack the city.

Nowadays, not only Xiahou Yuan's five thousand soldiers were attacking the city under Chengyang County. Yesterday, Cao brought a total of 40,000 infantry soldiers, and now the defenders of Chengyang County are only more than 10,000.

Ju Yi watched Cao's army rushing like a tide, and his face became more and more serious. Finally, Ju Yi made a decision, leaving a small number of troops to continue defending the city to confuse Cao's army.

Most of the troops retreated backwards and preserved their vitality before they could fight against Cao. As for the place where they retreated, Ju Yi chose Beihai County.

Because of Ju Yi's direct retreat, the siege behind Cao was extremely smooth. In just ten days, he took down Donglai County, Jinan County, Le'an County, Qingzhou. In addition to Chengyang County, he had previously captured, Cao suddenly held the four counties of Qingzhou in his hands.

The victory results obtained by Chen Qi's defeat of Yuan Shao were basically swallowed up by Cao.

As for the last Beihai County, Ju Yi gathered a total of 40,000 people there, and at the same time, he also gathered all the useful siege tools in Qingzhou here.

Allowing Cao to send people to yell outside the city and let the ghost guards spread in the dark, Ju Yi was as timid as a mouse and dared not respond to the battle. He revealed the black history of Ju Yi's former disciple Yuan Xi colluding with the Xianbei. Many of Ju Yi's subordinates began to mutiny. However, Ju Yi only suppressed his subordinates, but never went to fight.

It was precisely because of Ju Yi's firmness that Cao's tens of thousands of troops were unable to move forward, so Cao had to order a strong attack. However, after several tough battles, Cao and Ju Yi suffered heavy losses, but even now, no one in Cao still occupied Beihai County.
