Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao is stunned when he reveals his time-traveling identity.

"What's the matter that you're in such a panic?"

Yan Xiang immediately reprimanded him with considerable dissatisfaction.

The scout seemed not to hear him.

He was panting heavily.

"Oh no, oh no..."

"Just now, the western city was attacked by a force of soldiers!"

"The situation is critical!"

"Now I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's already..."

Upon hearing the scout's words, Yan Xiang's eyes widened in shock:

"What did you just say?!"

"The west flank was attacked by troops?"

"Could it be Liu Biao?!"

West of Yangzhou lies the territory of Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

The attack on the west was clearly Liu Biao's doing!

But Liu Biao became much more docile after he grew old.

It doesn't seem like they want to expand as much as before.

Now all I want is to guard my Jingzhou and live a peaceful life in a remote corner.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have attacked.

Moreover, Jiangdong and Jingzhou have a feud.

Given the current situation, even if Liu Biao wanted to attack, he would definitely attack Jiangdong.

Instead of Yangzhou, which was already under siege by Cao Cao and others.

If he misses this opportunity, it will be difficult for him to attack Jiangdong again.

It was for this reason that Yan Xiang and others did not advise against setting up too many defenses on the western side of the city.

Instead, they placed their main forces on the north and south sides.

But now, has Liu Biao gone mad?

"It's not Liu Biao!"

"It's Cao Cao! It's Cao Cao's army!"

The scout said in a panic.

He seemed to be quite frightened.

After all, it was originally a peaceful city.

They were suddenly surrounded and attacked by a large number of troops.

He has just escaped death.

"Cao Cao?!"

This answer was completely unexpected by Yan Xiang.

But then he realized what was happening:

"No, no!"

"Quickly, pass on the order!"

"Inform all surrounding reinforcements to proceed westward!"

"We must stop Cao Cao's army!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Bu immediately became anxious:

"No, Mr. Yan, what does this mean?"

"Wasn't it said that Cao Cao's main force was here?"

"What if Cao Cao's attack on the west side is just a smokescreen?"

"If reinforcements don't arrive, how am I supposed to defend the city?"

How could Lü Bu possibly trust the city with only his limited troops?

This is simply a fantasy!

Yan Xiang frowned immediately and hissed:

"How do we defend the city?"

"The troops here are just a smokescreen!"

"Cao Cao's army is making a big show of force today to convince us that this is their main force!"

"I've forgotten something!"

"Cao Cao's army originally marched from the west."

"It's Cao Ren leading the troops!"

"Unexpectedly, Cao Ren didn't join forces at all, but instead lay in wait!"

"What a brilliant feint, a diversionary tactic! Who came up with this plan?!"

Yan Xiang had now completely understood.

If the attack from the west was merely a feint, there would certainly be no reason for scouts to rush in and inform the city that it was about to fall.

This is clearly Cao Cao's main force arriving!

At this moment, Yan Xiang was filled with remorse.

He was actually fooled by appearances!

Cao Jun's move was truly unexpected!

Lu Bu seemed to have realized what was happening as well.

However, before he could say anything, Yan Xiang had already left the city and gone to personally call for reinforcements.

For a moment, this left Lü Bu somewhat bewildered.

What exactly happened?

Where did Cao Cao get so many soldiers?

Lu Bu was completely baffled.

But now he understands one thing.

Now, if he wants to defend this city, he can only rely on himself.

Yan Xiangcai wouldn't care whether he lived or died.

Moreover, the western flank is currently under attack by Cao Ren's main force.

Reinforcements will naturally gravitate towards that direction.

"That damned Zhang Fei, he cursed me for nothing all day."

"It was all just a bluff!"

Lu Bu, realizing his mistake too late, was filled with regret.

After all that, it turned out that Zhang Fei, who was standing in front of him, didn't have many troops behind him!

Since that's the case, why should I waste my breath talking to him?

If only he had led his army to attack at that time.

Zhang Fei had few reinforcements behind him.

He would surely die by his own halberd.

Having missed his chance to kill Zhang Fei, Lü Bu was filled with regret.

"General... what should we do now?"

Just then, Lü Bu's lieutenant asked in confusion.

"What else can we do?"

"We'll stay here and guard it."

"They have reinforcements on the west side, so we don't need to worry about them."

Lu Bu muttered a dissatisfied remark.

But by then, he was already starting to regret it.

Yuan Shu now commands a large army.

In addition, there are two prefectures, Nanyang and Runan.

These two prefectures are the two largest cities in the entire Han Dynasty!

Each one is larger than an average state!

Such a wealthy situation exists.

Why are we now surrounded by enemies on all sides, with attackers coming from all directions?

For some reason, a sense of unease arose spontaneously.

Lu Bu felt...

Under such a siege, Yuan Shu might not be able to survive!

He came here to seek refuge, only to find himself on a pirate ship without any explanation.

He is now being called a traitor to the country.

There's no going back now!

But regret is useless at this point.

The only solution was to pray that Yuan Shu would decisively defeat these warlords who came to besiege him.

They then gradually expanded their territory.

Finally, they replaced the Han dynasty.

Only in this way can I completely get rid of this situation.

That night, Lü Bu did not sleep.

……

The next day.

After an unknown amount of time, Lü Bu was awakened by a commotion.

"Oh no! Oh no!"

"General, something terrible has happened!"

"Cao Cao's army is attacking!"

A scout's shout startled Lü Bu.

He hurriedly picked up the halberd beside him and rushed up the city wall.

Looking down, it was a massive, dark army!

It's Cao Cao's army!

"How is this possible?"

"Isn't Cao Cao's main force attacking the cities on the west side?"

"Why are there still so many people?"

Lu Bu was dumbfounded.

He never expected that Cao Cao would have so many troops!

However, he did not know that these troops numbered only a little over ten thousand.

That's why it looks huge.

It was because Su Chen ordered all the supply and cook battalions to stay at the rear of the column, pretending to be elite troops.

Moreover, it attracted people from nearby areas.

Let them be at the very back.

They promised not to let them fight.

They didn't even have weapons.

They gave each household some food and money.

Su Chen is not short of money now.

This created a terrifying situation where tens of thousands of troops besieged the city.

At this moment, Lü Bu had no energy to discern the truth.

He hurriedly spoke:

"Men, fire the arrows!"

"Inform Yan Xiang, and send reinforcements immediately!"

"Just how many troops does Cao Cao have?!"

"It's probably more than two hundred thousand, isn't it?!"

Lu Bu was already panicked, and now he was surrounded by so many troops.

How could he not lose his footing?

"call out!"

The archers on the city wall drew their bows and nocked their arrows.

They hurriedly fired downwards.

However, the troops were few in number and exhausted from yesterday's battle.

I didn't get any proper rest at all.

These arrows were surprisingly inaccurate.

Cao Jun stared at the rain of arrows and charged straight in.

Zhang Fei, gripping his spear, sneered:

"Lu Bu, today is your death day, you traitor who has served three masters!"
