Chapter 1299: Smashed to pieces

Cao Cao said coldly, "Continue the attack! Tonight, you must break through this place for me!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he raised the long spear in his hand again, pointing it toward the city gate.

Soon, the archers on the city wall also threw catapults toward the catapults.

The catapults smashed onto the city wall, smashing the top of the city gate to pieces. Many soldiers were smashed into meat paste, and screams rose one after another.

"What a powerful catapult, to be able to easily blow up the city gate." Zhao Yun could not help but sigh when he saw these catapults.

"Indeed, the power of this catapult is truly formidable; it is worthy of being the most powerful weapon in Cao Cao's hands." Gu Yi also sighed, "Unfortunately, we have no way to use catapults now, otherwise, we would end up like the soldiers on the city wall, smashed to death."

After speaking, Gu Yi and Zhao Yun turned and left, heading toward another place.

"General, this is not a solution. Our soldiers have already lost more than half. If we continue like this, I fear we won't last long." Beside Gu Yi, Pang Tong said.

"I certainly know this is not a solution, but we can only hold on now; we cannot let those soldiers go to their deaths." Gu Yi sighed and shook his head.

"Then what should we do now?" Upon hearing Gu Yi's words, Pang Tong said with some worry.

"All we can do now is persist and wait for reinforcements to arrive. If reinforcements still don't come, then we can only wait for dawn. As soon as it is dawn, we can send someone to notify Father and have him come to rescue us." Gu Yi sighed and said to Pang Tong.

"Hmm, that is all we can do." Pang Tong nodded, then said to the surrounding soldiers, "Everyone, pull yourselves together and guard this city well!"

"Yes!"

Soon, everyone walked toward their respective posts.

Outside the South City, the Cao army camp.

"General, that Cao Cao camp is about to be broken by us." Just then, a Cao soldier said to Guo Jia.

"Oh?" Upon hearing the soldier's words, Guo Jia frowned slightly. "I know. You continue to keep a close watch on Cao Cao's camp; if any changes occur within his camp, notify me immediately."

"Understood!" The soldier responded and then turned and left.

Guo Jia looked at the civil and military officials beside him and cursed inwardly: "Trash! Can't even take down a few tens of thousands of troops; truly trash!"

"General, I feel that Cao Cao's camp is likely fraught with danger right now. I think we should immediately dispatch a large force to support Cao Cao." At this time, a civil official said.

After Guo Jia heard this person's words, a flash of anger crossed his face, but he held it back.

"Fine, since that is the case, we will dispatch three thousand elite cavalry to reinforce Cao Cao." Guo Jia thought for a moment and said to the people behind him.

"Understood!" Everyone nodded after hearing Guo Jia's order.

"General is wise." Just then, those civil and military officials also began to flatter him.

"Alright, let's act quickly!" After Guo Jia finished speaking, he took the lead and led the people toward Cao Cao's camp.

"Report!" Soon, a scout came to report.

"What is it?" Guo Jia frowned and asked the scout.

"Reporting to the General, many people have suddenly arrived ahead. They are all wearing Han clothing; it looks like they should be the commoners from the city," the scout replied.

Upon hearing the scout's words, Guo Jia's expression turned ugly instantly.

"We are heading to Cao Cao's camp now; slaughter all those commoners," Guo Jia said, gritting his teeth.

"Understood!" The scout responded and immediately ran toward the front.

Seeing this, Guo Jia followed.

At this moment, inside Cao Cao's main tent, Cao Cao was listening to his subordinates' reports.

"General, our reinforcements have arrived. Please give the order, General; how should we attack?" a strategist said.

"Good!" Cao Cao nodded and then instructed his subordinates, "Have all those soldiers move out and prepare to attack."

"Understood!" The strategist responded and then retreated.

"Someone, gather those soldiers and prepare to attack." Cao Cao shouted to the soldier outside the tent.

"Understood!"

A moment later, the soldiers under Cao Cao's command gathered here, and every face was filled with excitement.

Seeing this, Cao Cao was also very happy in his heart, because this attack would be his second attack. He hoped to break through the city gate, defeat Gu Yi, and seize Xiangyang.

"Listen everyone, we are going to attack now. If anyone is unwilling, you can get lost right now!" Cao Cao shouted loudly, his voice resonant, spreading throughout the main tent.

Upon hearing Cao Cao's words, the soldiers below had no reaction at all.

"Very good!" Cao Cao nodded, seeing that the people below had no reaction.

Then Cao Cao began to arrange his troops, his gaze constantly sweeping over the soldiers.

"Big Brother, although we can be considered brave in battle, compared to those fine armors, we are far behind. So, we had better not charge into the fray, lest we lose our lives; it's not worth it." At this time, a general said to the general beside him.

"Hmph, what do you know? With so many of us, as long as we kill Gu Yi and Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao is powerful, what can he do to me?" This general sneered twice and said to the general.

"Big Brother's words are extremely correct." After hearing the general's words, this general immediately echoed him.

"Alright, stop arguing." At this time, the other general spoke up.

"Our General has already spoken; you should listen to our General's arrangements." This general said to these generals.

"Understood!" Those generals responded one after another after hearing the general's words.

Soon, just as these soldiers were preparing to attack, they heard the sound of hoofbeats coming from afar.

Upon hearing the sound of hoofbeats, Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat.

"What is going on? Why are these people coming only now?" Cao Cao thought with suspicion.

"Someone, go and see what is going on!" Cao Cao instructed his personal guards beside him.

"Understood!"

"General, it seems like many cavalry have arrived outside the city." ===== CHAPTER 1300 =====
