Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 301 The Battle of Pengcheng
Ji Ling, who had just settled down, was resting in the big tent, when suddenly a messenger came to the tent and reported: "General, Cao's troops have risen and rushed to our camp."

Ji Ling frowned, and muttered: "This Cao Cao didn't go to attack Pengcheng, why did he come to attack General Ben? That's fine, take this opportunity to avenge General Zhang!"

After saying that, Ji Ling also gathered his troops and went out of the camp to meet Cao Cao's army.

The two armies lined up. Ji Ling looked at General Cao who was facing him with a majestic and majestic appearance, but he was a little unfamiliar. He couldn't help asking, "Who are you? Why didn't you see Cao Cao come?"

Dian Wei snorted softly, and said, "I am Dian Wei, the captain under Mr. Cao's account. If you don't just stay in Huaiyang, what are you doing here in Xuzhou?"

Ji Ling snorted coldly, and said: "Cao Cao raised his army and cruelly abused the people. My lord can't see it, so I ordered this general to come and help Tao Gong and others."

"Hmph, Tao Qian is full of evil, and you are helping the evildoers!" Dian Wei scolded.

Ji Ling was furious, and shouted: "Bah! Unrighteous, take your life!"

After finishing speaking, Ji Ling waved the three-pointed two-edged saber in his hand, shouted, and charged towards Dian Wei. Dian Wei did not show any weakness, took off his double halberds, and patted his horse forward to fight.

When he was in Nanyang before, Ji Ling had fought against several generals under Cao Cao and knew how powerful they were.

But Dian Wei, who was facing the enemy this time, had not met last time. According to Ji Ling's estimate, he should not be stronger than Xiahou Dun.

However, after a few rounds, Ji Ling felt distressed. The opponent's Dian Wei was obviously braver than Xiahou Dun.

His pair of iron halberds were not only extremely heavy, but also had a very tricky angle of attack, which made it impossible for Ji Ling to guard against them.

After a short fight, Ji Ling immediately judged that he was not Dian Wei's opponent at all, and if he continued to fight, he would lose without winning.

So, Ji Ling became ruthless, slashed, swung his saber twice, and temporarily forced Dian Wei to retreat, but he pulled his horse and retreated into the army.

When Dian Wei saw that Ji Ling had run away, he couldn't help being furious. He waved the iron halberd in his hand and shouted, "Kill!"

When the soldiers behind him heard Dian Wei's order, they shouted and killed Ji Ling's army.

Ji Ling returned to the main formation, saw Cao Jun attacking, quickly called a messenger, and ordered: "Go to Pengcheng quickly, let Tao Qian go out of the city, attack from both sides, Cao Jun will be defeated."

Seeing the messengers leaving and heading towards Pengcheng, Ji Ling also quickly ordered to fight Cao Jun.

Only this time, he didn't dare to challenge Dian Wei again, but swung a three-pointed two-edged knife to kill the soldiers.

For a while, the two armies fought in a melee, and the two sides killed each other, and the scene was quite tragic.

The messenger soldier didn't dare to neglect, he came to the city of Pengcheng non-stop, and shouted: "I am the envoy of General Ji Ling under General Yuan Shu's account. There is an urgent military situation, and I need to meet Tao Xuzhou!"

When the city guard heard that it was Yuan Shu's man, he didn't dare to be negligent, and seeing that there were no pursuers around, he hurriedly lowered the drawbridge and let the messenger soldier enter the city.

After the messenger entered Pengcheng, led by the city guards, he came directly to Tao Qian's mansion.

Tao Qian attached great importance to it. After all, he was an envoy sent by his reinforcements, so he quickly summoned his subordinates to see what was going on.

After the summoner entered the hall, he didn't have time to say hello, so he said directly: "Mr. Tao, Cao Cao's troops are attacking General Ji Ling. I hope that Mr. Tao will send his troops out of the city. If we attack from two directions, Cao's soldiers will surely break!"

When Tao Qian heard this, a gleam flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he clapped the table and said, "Hmph, Cao Cao couldn't sit still as soon as the reinforcements arrived. Where is Cao Bao?"

"The last general is here!" Cao Bao walked up to him and replied.

"General Cao, order you to lead Pengcheng's soldiers and horses to attack Cao's soldiers, and they must be defeated!" Tao Qian ordered.

"Order!"

As soon as Cao Bao clasped his fists, he was about to turn around and go out to rectify the soldiers and horses, but was stopped by Mi Zhu, saying: "Don't do it, Mr. Tao. Cao Cao has always been treacherous. Be careful, this is a trick to lure the enemy!"

Tao Qian was slightly moved when he heard this, and turned to ask Chen Deng, "Yuanlong, what should we do about this matter?"

Chen Deng thought for a while and said, "If it's Cao Cao's treacherous scheme, it's not impossible. However, if it's really Cao Cao's attack on General Ji, this is a good opportunity to destroy Cao Cao."

Whether it was Cao Cao's treacherous scheme or not, Chen Deng did not say clearly, Tao Qian was also lost in thought, Cao Bao stood aside, not knowing how to advance or retreat.

The messengers were in a hurry and said: "Mr. Tao, General Ji has come to rescue Xuzhou under the order of General Yuan. Now that Cao Cao is attacking, how can Mr. Tao just sit back and ignore it?"

Hearing the messenger's words, Tao Qian seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "The old man has made up his mind, Cao Bao quickly go to rectify the troops and go out of the city to support General Ji to defeat Cao!"

"Order!"

Cao Bao didn't hesitate this time, he turned around and left directly, so as to save other people from raising different opinions, he let himself wait there.

Sure enough, as soon as Cao Bao left, Mi Zhu said again: "Now the situation is unclear, we should stick to the city, and when Cao Cao's food is exhausted, it will surely be destroyed. It is really unwise to take such a risk."

Tao Qian frowned, snorted coldly, and said, "Zi Zhong wants to trap this old man in an injustice?"

Mi Zhu was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Why did Mr. Tao say such a thing?"

"General Ji came to save Xuzhou, but he was attacked by Cao Cao. If I don't leave the city to save him, won't the world think that I am ungrateful?" Tao Qian said displeased.

"This..." Mi Zhu was taken aback, and quickly explained, "This is absolutely not my intention."

Tao Qian waved his hands impatiently, and said, "Now that the enemy is facing us, we need to fight against the enemy. Zizhong, you can go to Cen Bi's camp and let him send troops together, which can also reduce some pressure."

"As ordered!"

Mi Zhu sighed and walked out. He always felt that something was wrong with this military operation, but since Tao Qian had already made his decision, he couldn't change it.

Mi Zhu came to Cen Bi's camp in the north again and brought Tao Qian's words to him. Cen Bi was very happy and immediately agreed to raise troops.

Therefore, Cen Bi and Mi Zhu led three thousand Qingzhou reinforcements and moved forward quickly to rescue Ji Ling.

However, before half of the journey, there was a sound of shouting and killing from the side of the road, and a group of men and horses rushed over from the side.

Cen Bi was taken aback, rushed to the front, and shouted: "Who is here? Why are you blocking my way?"

"I am Yu Jin, the captain of Yanzhou Mucao, who was trapped in the tent. I have been waiting here for a long time, why don't you dismount and surrender?" Yu Jin shouted.

Cen Bi was furious and shouted: "How dare you look down on me? Look at the gun!"

After saying that, Cen Bi straightened out the spear in his hand, and charged at Yu Jin; Yu Jin snorted coldly, urged his horse forward, and met Cen Bi with a three-pointed knife.

This Cen Bi is no match for Yu Jin, after more than a dozen rounds, he was already lost, and wanted to return to the formation, but he was so tightly entangled by Jin that he couldn't escape at all.

After another three rounds, Yu Jin yelled, and only heard a clang, and Yu Jin knocked the spear in Cen Bi's hand into the air, and the three-pointed knife immediately stabbed at Cen Bi's choked throat!
