It was dawn the next day.

When the first ray of the morning sun bathed Pengcheng in a golden coat, five thousand Chu troops were already in formation in the east direction of the city.

Guan Yu stood at the top of the city and looked into the distance. He saw that the enemy troops outside the city were in high spirits and their formation was in order. The "yellow" flag was flying in the morning wind.

Of the five thousand Chu troops, half were cavalry.

"General, the Chu army's formation seems a bit strange. Could it be that there is some fraud involved?" Mi Fang next to her asked suspiciously.

"What's so strange?"

Mi Fang pointed at the Chu army and said: "There are 20,000 Chu troops this time, and most of them are infantry. However, nearly half of the Chu army that is about to attack the city are cavalry. This is obviously not in line with the law of war. What will the general think?" It’s suspicious.”

Guan Yu sneered and said disapprovingly: "Is there anything suspicious? The current Chu army is dominated by cavalry. They attach great importance to the development of cavalry. When attacking a city, they also focus on cavalry..."

When Guan Yu saw the big flag with the word "yellow", he guessed that today would be a bloody battle.

Although Huang Zhong was unparalleled in bravery, he was best at cavalry field battles. Most of his troops were cavalry, but siege was his shortcoming.

While Guan Yu was sarcastic in his heart, Mi Fang was still confused.

At this time, the war drums sounded outside the city, and five thousand Chu troops roared into action and began to slowly advance towards Pengcheng.

Mi Fang was also confused, and her blood suddenly arose, and she said boldly: "General, I failed to capture Huang Zhong last time. Let me defend the city this time. I will definitely kill Huang Zhong's majesty." .”

But Guan Yu waved his hand and said: "Just leave the city head to me. You have more important tasks, so you'd better go down to the city early to prepare."

Although Mi Fang was annoyed that Xu Du was defeated by Huang Zhong, after hearing Guan Yu's instructions, she immediately restrained her fighting spirit and retreated from the city.

Guan Yu held his broadsword on the ground, towering like an iron tower as he faced the overwhelming enemy troops. His knife-like face was as cold and stern as a mountain.

The subordinates on the left and right seemed to be infected by Guan Yu's calmness, and they showed no fear when facing the menacing enemy troops.

Three thousand soldiers of the Chu army, holding swords, guns, bows and crossbows tightly, with determination in their expressions, fearlessly stared at the approaching enemy troops.

At two hundred paces, the Chu army attacking the city suddenly accelerated their charge, shouting to kill and rushing forward.

Guan Yu raised his hand and shouted sharply: "Fire the arrow!"

The flag was waved, the order was passed down, and hundreds of strong bows and crossbows fired in unison.

Countless sharp arrows, carrying the whistling sound of a thousand birds flapping their wings, pierced the sky and headed towards the Chu army like raindrops.

The Chu army below the city was also well prepared. The leading shield bearers raised their iron shields high to block the incoming arrows from the siege team carrying ladders for the siege.

Countless arrows clanked and fell like raindrops, but many of them still passed through the gaps in the shield and hit the Chu soldiers hiding underneath.

The sounds of screams came and went.

However, the Chu army did not slow down their advance because of this, and still fearlessly advanced towards Pengcheng.

Looking down at the Chu army advancing in an orderly manner, Guan Yu murmured in admiration: "As expected of Huang Zhong, the soldiers under his command are indeed elite."

In an instant, thousands of Chu troops had crossed the moat. The first wave of siege troops approached the city wall, and more than ten ladders were slowly erected.

A hand-to-hand fight in the city is right in front of you.

Guan Yu raised his eyebrows with his sword, murderous aura bursting out of his body, raised his long sword across his body, and shouted sternly: "Athletes of the Guan family army, fight side by side with me and kill the enemy!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

On the front line of the city, the athletes of Guan Jiajun were excited and roared in unison.

The rumbling roar spread throughout the fields, causing the enemy troops attacking the city to change their expressions.

A few hundred steps away, Huang Zhong, who was holding a sword in his hand, couldn't help but change his face slightly, and wondered in his heart: "I heard that Guan Yu is so arrogant and has never cared about his soldiers. Now looking at this formation, his subordinates seem to be willing to do it."

He fights to the death, what has he experienced in the past few months to make such a big change?"

Huang Zhong was filled with surprise, and his fighting spirit seemed to be gradually dissipating.

Seeing all this, Huang Zhong jumped off his horse, rushed to the drum formation in a few steps, and grabbed a drummer's wooden hammer.

He rolled up his sleeves, used a pair of iron arms as round as the mouth of a bowl, and beat the drum vigorously to cheer for his soldiers.

Thousands of people under his command saw Huang Zhong beating drums for them in person. Inspired by this, their morale was greatly boosted. The shouts of killing rose up in the sky, gradually overpowering the shouts of Guan Yu's army at the head of the city.

On top of the city, the battle to take over the city has begun.

In the north corner, a Chu army hook ladder was first put up on the battlements. This kind of long ladder with a sickle on the top can tightly hook the city wall.

As soon as Fang took over the city, the Chu army, armed with swords and shields, captured the city and bravely climbed up.

The Guan Yu army guarding the city was also well prepared. The Luo Shi, the size of a human head, whizzed down and knocked down those Chu soldiers who could not dodge from the hook ladder.

Amidst the pitiful howls, an enemy with a bloody reputation fell from the city several feet high and was smashed into a pile of bloody and mangled corpses.

On the front line of the city trench, five hundred Chu army crossbowmen, under the cover of large shieldmen, fired at the defenders at the top of the city to suppress the defenders' counterattack.

In the dense rain of arrows, some of the Guan soldiers who were exposed were constantly shot in the head. Some fell to death on the top of the city, while others fell to the bottom of the city and mingled with the corpses of the enemy.

Guan Yu held his sword and sat in the center of the city tower, not moving even a step, calmly commanding the battle.

To the north, under the powerful arrow attack of the Chu army, seven or eight Guan Yu soldiers were shot down one after another. The subsequent manpower was unable to replace them, and the defense here was immediately weakened.

The Chu army attacking the city took advantage of the situation and climbed up quickly. Three or five Chu army archers and strong sword and shield hands rushed up to the top of the city.

Seeing this, Guan Yu shouted sternly: "Where is Mi Fang? Quickly kill the enemies who are climbing the city on the north side!"

Mi Fang, who was in the middle of a bloody battle, received the order and simply took off half of her armor, bare arms and ran towards the north with a big knife in hand.

Amidst the roar, the sword swept out like a wheel.

How could those Chu soldiers be Mi Fang's rivals? Amidst the clanging sound of shields, several Chu soldiers who had boarded the city were killed and flew away alive.

Mi Fang, who was furious and powerful, actually forced back the enemy who had climbed into the city by herself.

Then, he thrust the big knife into the ground, picked up the fork pole on the ground, and pushed the hook ladder towards the hook and ladder with the muscles of his arms swelling to the point of bursting.

Amidst the loud shouts, Mi Fang rose up and thrust out the hooked ladder that was several feet high and had seven or eight people lying on it.

Accompanied by a burst of screams, the hook and ladder swayed down, and the weight of several hundred kilograms crashed down, hitting most of the Chu troops on the ground who could not dodge.

Most of those who were hit were killed on the spot, and a few were cut in half at the waist. The cuts were full of bloody flesh, which was extremely cruel.

The first round of violent attacks was blocked by Guan Yu.

In half an hour of fighting, the Chu army suffered hundreds of casualties. The blood actually dyed the earth-colored city wall crimson, and the corpses were piled high at the base of the city wall.

Huang Zhong, who was in the military formation, saw that Pengcheng was fortified and Guan Yu's defenders were very tenacious, and he knew that with his current strength, it was impossible to conquer.

The Chu army, frustrated in their initial attack, could only muster up their morale and continue to attack Pengcheng every two rounds over the corpses of their companions.

Guan Yu on the top of the city still stood as motionless as a towering iron tower, the blade in his hand flashed with cold light, his red cloak caught the wind, and the big flag with the word "Guan" flying proudly above his head.

Facing the second round of Chu army's strong attack, Guan Yu showed no fear and continued to command the battle calmly.

One ladder after another was overthrown, and countless enemy soldiers fell to the bottom of the city. Wood, stone, and red-hot molten iron were constantly thrown at the enemy.

In the blink of an eye, there was another bloody battle for half an hour. This time, not even one of the enemy could reach the top of the city.

At the cost of hundreds of casualties, Guan Yu successfully blocked the oncoming enemies under the city wall.

Suddenly, an arrow shot through the air and headed straight for Guan Yu.

Guan Yu, however, did not move at all. When the arrow was just a few feet away, he slightly tilted his head and his tiger palm came out like lightning.

That extremely powerful arrow was unexpectedly caught by him in the air.

The Chu troops under the city wall were all shocked when they saw Guan Yu catching the arrow with his bare hands. "Bring me the bow!"

Guan Yu shouted angrily and grabbed a stiff bow from one of his subordinates.

The bow is drawn like a crescent moon, and the arrow shoots out like a shooting star.

That sharp arrow shot through the air like the smile of death.

"puff!"

An arrow hit the enemy soldier who fired the arrow, impartially, and hit his head squarely.

Guan Yu's hundred-step magic shot inspired the athletes of the Guan family on the city wall and they all cheered loudly.

The Chu troops below the city were demoralized and all looked fearful.

Morale was rising and falling, and the Chu army's second round of attacks quickly sank again.

Huang Zhong, who was outside the city, saw this and knew that it would be useless to continue fighting. He ignored Guo Tu's suspicion and ordered the entire army to retreat in the name of the general.

Seeing that the enemy troops were retreating, Mi Fang, who was covered in blood, shouted excitedly: "General, the enemy troops have retreated, why not take the opportunity to rush out of the city and kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind."

According to the current situation, Guan Yu could have taken advantage of the victory and pursued it.

However, Guan Yu valued this general who was undefeated in fifty rounds with him and had no intention of fighting to the death, so he wanted to leave some room for Huang Zhong.

Moreover, although Huang Zhong withdrew his troops, his troops were in good order, apparently to prepare for Guan Yu to use his troops to cover up the enemy.

Thinking of this, Guan Yu waved his hand and said: "There is no need to chase, save some strength for the showdown tonight."

So Guan Yu ordered the entire army not to pursue, and only used arrows to send off the defeated enemy.

In the afternoon, the Chu army retreated after leaving more than 700 corpses.

The soldiers of the Chu army who had won a bloody victory on the city wall waved their bloody weapons, cheered and vented their pride.

The battle started in daylight, and in the blink of an eye it was already dark.

But at night, the troops led by Liu He rushed to the bottom of Pengcheng. They were once again armed with advanced weapons such as Molotov cocktails and Thunderbolt vehicles. After a night of bloody battles, they finally captured Pengcheng.
