Chapter 1345: We finally have a chance

Cao Cao also walked out of the great hall, and surrounded by his generals and soldiers, he headed toward Qinglong Commandery.

"Long live the King, the Great Han is mighty!" the Qingzhou army soldiers shouted.

"The King is a hero without peer; our Qingzhou will surely be able to hold onto the empire!" Xun Yu prayed silently in his heart.

The Qingzhou army marched majestically toward Qingzhou City.

Cao Cao stood on the city wall, looking at the Qingzhou army in the distance, his face full of smiles.

"Hahaha, finally, it is time to deal with that dog thief Gu Yi!"

"Pass down the order, have the soldiers prepare for battle!" Cao Cao roared loudly.

"Yes!"

Soon, Cao Cao's order was transmitted through various channels, and soldiers from all sides learned of this news.

"We finally have a chance, long live the King!"

"The King is mighty, the King is invincible!"

The Qingzhou army soldiers shouted one after another, their morale greatly boosted.

Hearing the cheers of the Qingzhou army, Gu Yi was also very excited in his heart, thinking to himself: "These fellows still have quite a bit of spirit; this way, we will be able to hold on!"

"Pass down the order, the entire army is to rest and reorganize, we will fight again tomorrow!" Gu Yi ordered.

After the Qingzhou army finished resting and reorganizing, they launched an attack toward the Yanzhou army in the southeast.

Although the Yanzhou army's combat effectiveness was fierce, their equipment could not keep up, so under Gu Yi's leadership, their losses were relatively heavy.

"General, our casualties are somewhat severe; if this continues, we simply won't be able to hold on for too long!" the deputy general said to Cao Cao, who was checking the casualty data.

"Of course I know that, but what else can we do?" Cao Cao said.

"If we drag it out like this, I'm afraid we will be worn down by the Qingzhou army!" the deputy general said.

"At this time, we have no other choice." Cao Cao sighed and said.

"But if we drag it out like this, our men will also be wiped out!" the deputy general said anxiously.

"Sigh..." Cao Cao sighed, not knowing what to do.

"King, let's retreat first!" the deputy general suggested.

"No! If we retreat now, morale will be even lower! Moreover, even if we retreat, we might not necessarily be able to leave alive, so let's fight to the death!" Cao Cao said resolutely.

"But if we drag it out like this, our men will also suffer huge casualties, and might even die on the battlefield!" the deputy general said.

"Rest assured, as long as I am alive, I can protect your life and the lives of the brothers, go ahead!" Cao Cao said firmly.

"But King, you must pay more attention to your safety!" the deputy general said worriedly.

Cao Cao nodded and said: "I will, you go!"

"Then I will leave first, King, please take care!" the deputy general took a deep breath and said.

"En!"

Under the leadership of Zhang Liao, the Qingzhou army's chariots and catapults were all parked inside the gates of Qinglong County.

At this time, Zhang Liao was directing the Qingzhou army soldiers to move the supplies near the city gate; he wanted to transport all the grain and clothing into the city.

"Report~~"

Suddenly, a soldier under Zhang Liao's command ran over.

"What is it?"

"Reporting to the Commander, an anomaly has occurred at the city gate!" the soldier said. ===== CHAPTER 1346 =====
