Chapter 1331: We will assemble a great army again

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi's eyes could not help but light up, and he secretly thought: "Once we capture Qingyuan county city, we can strike directly at Yuan Shao's lair, Yuzhou!"

"Not only that, but we can also take Yanzhou and press directly toward Youzhou."

"At that time, we will assemble a great army again, strike directly at Jizhou, and drive Cao Cao back to Xu Chang."

"Hahaha, good! Good! We will prepare to attack right now!" Gu Yi said with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone could not help but become excited.

"Pass the order down: the army will set out today, and we must capture Qingyuan county city by tonight," Gu Yi said.

"Understood!" the generals all said, cupping their hands.

Gu Yi looked at Qingyuan county city on the map and could not help but think: "If we can take Qingyuan county city, the situation in Yanzhou will be completely reversed."

Gu Yi looked at the map and could not help but think to himself.

After Gu Yi had a plan in his heart, he ordered the army to speed up their march, striving to capture Qingyuan county city as soon as possible.

Under Cao Cao's command, Gu Yi's army advanced rapidly toward Qingyuan county city.

"Dong dong dong..."

The earth trembled, and dust flew.

Gu Yi's army was getting closer and closer to Qingyuan county city, and the distance to Qingyuan county city was also getting shorter and shorter.

"My lord! The enemy's great army is getting closer and closer to us," a scout reported.

"Hmph! Although this Qingyuan county city is not small, it is only a small city after all; they are simply vulnerable to a single blow!" Cao Cao sneered.

"What my lord says is correct," the generals echoed.

"Pass the order down: the entire army is to rest for half an hour," Gu Yi ordered.

"Understood!"

"My lord, I wonder if we can find a breakthrough point from within this Qingyuan county city?" Strategist Pang Tong suddenly asked.

"I think it's possible," Gu Yi thought for a moment and nodded.

"My lord, how do you say we should enter the city?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi pondered for a moment and said: "If we can occupy the city gates in the shortest possible time, then even if we don't enter the city, we can still threaten Qingyuan city."

"Moreover, although Qingyuan county city is small, the city walls are very thick, and the garrison in the city will not exceed two thousand."

"Therefore, if we want to enter Qingyuan city, we have no choice but to force our way in."

"Correct!" Strategist Pang Tong nodded in agreement.

"Pass the order down: the entire army is to prepare to attack the city!"

"My lord, we have already approached Qingyuan city," a scout reported.

"Very good! Let's prepare to attack the city!" Gu Yi nodded.

As the sound of the horn rang out, the army under his command immediately set up the formation to attack the city.

"Fire arrows!"

"Peng peng peng!"

Bows and crossbows fired in unison, and countless arrows fell toward Qingyuan city like a blanket.

The arrows landed on the city walls, and the city walls were immediately shattered.

The garrison on the city walls did not even have a chance to resist before they were shot to death.

The gates of Qingyuan city were tightly closed, but they could not block Gu Yi's rain of arrows.

Guan Ping, who was defending the city, did not expect the firepower of Gu Yi's army to be so fierce,

and he could not help but panic.

"My lord, Qingyuan city has fallen into chaos."

"Hmm! I know." Gu Yi nodded and said: "Pass the order down: all archers are to prepare, the entire army is to press forward, hit them hard, and don't leave any survivors."

"Yes!"

Guan Ping looked at the enemies swarming in from all sides, his face turning pale with fear.

"My lord, look!"

Guan Ping suddenly shouted, pointing below the city walls, and said: "There seem to be many people below Qingyuan city; could it be reinforcements sent by the enemy?"

"Reinforcements?"

Gu Yi observed carefully and indeed saw many people below the city walls.

"Pass the order down: kill them for me!" Gu Yi said.

"Understood!"

"Kill!"

"Kill all those rebels!"

Gu Yi's army rushed up rapidly, killing the garrison under Guan Ping's command until they threw away their armor and fled in a sorry state.

"Hahaha, our reinforcements have finally arrived," Gu Yi laughed loudly.

"My lord is wise!"

"Hahaha, we have finally arrived."

"My lord, should we pursue them while we have the advantage?"

"Of course we should!" Gu Yi said without hesitation.

"Pass the order down: the entire army is to speed up the attack!"

"Understood!"

Following Gu Yi's order, the army attacked Qingyuan city even more frantically.

Guan Ping led the remaining garrison troops, stubbornly defending the walls of Qingyuan city. Facing Gu Yi's powerful army, they were not afraid, determined to defend the last inch of land in this city.

The garrison troops on the walls of Qingyuan city gripped their weapons tightly, their expressions firm and resolute. The armor on their bodies bore the traces of time, each piece witnessing their unyielding will. They stared ahead, their gazes firm and unwavering.

The rain of arrows poured down like raindrops, and the sound of artillery fire was incessant, but the garrison led by Guan Ping held their ground throughout. They used all their strength to plug the holes in the city walls, guarding the last line of defense of this city with their bodies and blood.

The enemy's offensive was like a violent storm, constantly pounding the city walls. But the garrison led by Guan Ping fought bravely, leaping up to meet the enemy's fierce offensive with swords and battle-axes. They were like a wall of steel, making it impossible for the enemy to break through easily.

Guan Ping brandished the sword in his hand, his body moving flexibly across the battlefield, every swing of his sword carrying a powerful momentum. A firm light shone in his eyes; he knew he shouldered a heavy responsibility and must hold on until the last moment.

The enemy army constantly swarmed onto the city walls, but Guan Ping's garrison fought back with all their might. Although their combat power was not as great as Gu Yi's army, their courage and will to hold on were unrivaled. They wrote a legend of loyalty and faith with their lives and blood.

The battle lasted for several hours, and although the garrison on the city walls suffered heavy casualties, they still held every inch of land. Guan Ping ignored the pain of his wounds, stared at the incoming enemy army, and roared: "Don't let a single one of them through! Defend the city gates to the death!" ===== CHAPTER 1332 =====
