"Soldiers, shoot the arrows to meet the enemy! As long as we are here, the city will be here! "
At Cao Pi's command, the archers hurriedly aimed at the black mass of soldiers in front of them and shot.
"This … Why are there so many people attacking the city today?"
"They are too fast. Quick, prepare rolling stones and logs!"
"The ladder is coming up. Brothers, grab your weapons!"
"…"
For a moment, the soldiers who were resting at the top of the city wall suddenly became busy.
But at this time, the Western Liang Army was like a madman. They rushed forward desperately. When one fell, two more would take his place. It seemed that they could not kill all of them.
It was as if zombies had surrounded the city. The black mass of heads covered the land that was originally burned by the rockets.
After Cao Pi killed a soldier who was about to climb up the city wall, he quickly went down the city wall. Xun You happened to be at the bottom of the city wall. He quickly said in a deep voice,
"Mr. Xun, quickly withdraw the Emperor from the West Gate! Looking at the enemy's attack, there are already many soldiers heading towards the other three gates. "
Xun You took the order and quickly said,
"Young master! In that case, you should withdraw with the Emperor! "
Cao Pi shook his head and said,
"I can't leave yet. The soldiers are still fighting and their morale is not stable. If I leave, I am afraid that the North Gate will not be able to hold for more than 15 minutes!"
After that, Cao Pi stepped on the battlefield again.
In fact, Cao Pi also had a plan in mind.
Cao Cao had always favored Cao Zhi and even hated Cao Pi. Now was the time for Cao Pi to prove himself. It was a good opportunity to prove himself in the eyes of his father!
Even if he lost his life, it was worth it for Cao Pi to die like his elder brother.
Since young, Cao Pi had been bullied a lot because of Cao Zhi. Although he did not understand why his father did this, he knew that his brother did not do anything serious. He only knew how to drink and write poems.
Since young, he had studied the sages and practiced martial arts diligently. He also had a lot of prestige in the army. If his father had allowed him to lead the army, he would have had a lot of military achievements by now.
But he couldn't compare to a rotten person who only knew how to drink?!
Thinking of this, Cao Pi's heart was filled with anger. He vented this anger on the Western Liang Army that had surged up the city wall.
But the strange thing was, Cao Pi gradually felt that the pressure from North Gate was not as great as it was in the beginning.
It was as if these soldiers had split up during the siege and were heading towards the other three gates!
As expected.
After a while, the messenger arrived.
"Reporting to Young Master, the south gate can't hold on any longer. The enemy has already begun to attack the main gate!"
"Young master! West Gate can't hold on much longer either! "
"Young master! The East Gate is about to collapse. "
Besieged on all sides!
At this moment, Cao Pi finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
The situation at the North Gate was not looking good either. The siege chariots had already reached the North Gate and were beginning to ram into it.
"Father!"
Cao Pi's eyes were filled with tears as he knelt towards the south. His eyes were bloodshot.
"Your son is unfilial and was unable to protect Xu Chang! I've failed to live up to your expectations! "
Speaking of this, Cao Pi picked up his sword and slowly placed it on his neck.
"Young master, please don't do this!"
Just as Cao Pi was about to kill himself, the soldiers beside him quickly grabbed the sword and knelt on the ground.
"If young master dies, then how can we still be here?"
"Yes, young master, please reconsider!"
"Young master, please reconsider!"
"…"
Looking at the sincere eyes of the soldiers in front of him, Cao Pi was instantly moved. His eyes were filled with hope.
However, the current situation was not optimistic at all.
Just as everyone was frowning as they watched the enemy continuously attack the city gate.
One of the soldiers exclaimed.
"Young master, look! There seems to be another army behind the rebel army! "
Hearing this, Cao Pi hurriedly stood up and looked into the distance.
Although he could not see clearly, it was obvious that the unknown army had the word "Cao" written on their flag!
"Young master, it's reinforcements, it's reinforcements!"
The soldiers beside him were all excited and quickly exclaimed.
"Reinforcements?"
Cao Pi felt like he was in a dream. Where did the reinforcements come from?
Could it be that father is here?
Or the reinforcements from Chang 'an and Luoyang?
None of this was known, but Cao Pi could clearly see that the army was unusually brave. They directly cut into the Xiliang army from behind and caught the Xiliang army off guard.
In an instant, the pace of the siege slowed down.
"It's … the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry!"
Cao Pi took a closer look, and only then did he see the armor on the cavalrymen.
This kind of special Black Armor could only be worn by the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry!
Cao Pi was instantly overjoyed.
Father, are you here? The Ferocious Leopard Cavalry is by your side!
Xun You was even more surprised.
It had only been two days since he handed the report to the prime minister! How did the reinforcements arrive so quickly?
From Jiangdong to Xuchang, even if the cavalry did not stop, it would take at least three days! If they did not sleep or rest, it would also take two days!
Furthermore, this did not include the time to retreat from Red Cliff!
One must know that if the army retreated, the people from Jiangdong would not be idle. They would definitely fight a stalemate and drag out the time.
However, it seemed that these soldiers were not sleepy at all. It was as if they were not tired after the raid and were very brave.
Xun You could not understand, but these soldiers were indeed the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry and reinforcements. To Xuchang, this was a great thing.
Xun You thought until here and quickly said to the soldiers on the city walls,
"All soldiers listen to my orders. The Ferocious Leopard Cavalry is currently fighting and the enemy has retreated. We cannot shoot!"
"What we need to do now is wait for the right time. Once the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry reaches the city gates, immediately open the gates and welcome them in!"
！”
"Yes!"
All the soldiers listened to the orders. Without the enemy on the ladders, the city guards immediately freed up their men. Cao Pi quickly brought a few people down the city walls and advanced towards the north gate.
"Seeing that the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry is currently scattered, there should be soldiers at the other three gates. Quickly inform the other three gates to welcome the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry into the city at all costs!"
Xun You squinted his eyes and calmly gave the order.
Although there were reinforcements, the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry only had a few thousand men. However, the Western Liang Army had more than ten thousand men!
Even if the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry appeared at lightning speed and caught the Western Liang Army off guard, they would be able to quickly adjust themselves.
If they did not welcome the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry into the city, only death awaited them!
No matter how brave the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry was, the enemy had more than ten thousand men!
Furthermore, there was also Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and many other generals. If the Western Liang Army could not defeat the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry, these generals would not be useless!
"Wait!"
Xun You was shocked. They said they were going to attack the city, but why were there no generals like Guan Yu?
