When the Wei army was ready, Cao Ren left Cai Yang and 10,000 men to guard Biyang, while he marched towards Xinye with the remaining troops.

This time, in order to obtain a fighting opportunity, Cao Ren led his army on a rapid march.

In just three days, an army of more than 60,000 people, led by Cao Ren, appeared at the foot of Xinye City.

Zhang Xutuo and Xiang Chong, who were stationed in Xinye, were shocked when they suddenly learned that a large number of Wei troops were approaching the city.

Soon, the two of them rushed to the tower to check.

When they saw the densely packed Wei army outside the city, they were immediately frightened because Xinye County had less than 10,000 troops.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xutuo immediately said to Xiang Chong: "Xiang Xiaowei, the sudden appearance of the Wei army in Xinye must be caused by bad intentions. Please also ask Xiang Xiaowei to take a boat to Wancheng for help immediately, otherwise Xinye will not be safe."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Chong immediately asked: "Colonel Zhang, what about you?"

"Xiang Xiaowei, I will stay here to defend the city."

Xiang Chong considered that his martial arts skills were mediocre, so he finally followed Zhang Xutuo's advice.

Immediately, Xiang Chong left Xinye County with more than a dozen personal guards.

Because Xiang Chong left in time, he finally successfully boarded the ship and headed for Wancheng.

At the same time, Cao Ren ordered his soldiers to rest for a while before launching an attack on Xinye.

When Zhang Xutuo saw that the Wei army was attacking the city, he immediately commanded the defenders in the city to begin to defend the city.

After Zhang Xutuo held on for two days, Xiang Chong finally arrived at the gate of Wancheng.

Then, Xiang Chong shouted towards the city tower: "I am Xiang Chong. I have urgent military information to report to Deputy Governor Changsun. Please open the city gate."

Upon seeing this, the defenders in the city immediately asked Xiang Chong to identify himself.

As Xiang Chong completed his self-certification, the defenders in the city immediately opened the city gate.

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Chong started running.

Soon, Xiang Chong arrived at the Governor's Mansion and asked to see Chang Sun Sheng.

When Changsun Sheng learned that Xiang Chong had arrived, he immediately ordered his soldiers to bring Xiang Chong to him.

After Xiang Chong came to Changsun Sheng, he immediately said: "Deputy Governor Changsun, there is an urgent military situation at the end of the day."

Changsun Sheng saw Xiang Chong's anxious face and immediately asked, "Why is Captain Xiang panicking?"

"Deputy Governor Changsun, the Wei army suddenly appeared at the foot of Xinye City to attack the city. Colonel Zhang is leading troops to resist the Wei army. Please ask Deputy Governor Changsun to send troops to help immediately, otherwise Xinye will not be protected."

After listening to Xiang Chong's words, Changsun Sheng was very surprised.

"My lord is still fighting against the Wu army in Jiangxia. If the Wei army captures Xinye, my lord may be attacked from both sides."

Changsun Sheng, aware of the seriousness of the matter, immediately sent for Wei Yan and Yan Yan.

When the two arrived, Changsun Sheng immediately said: "Wei Yan, Yan Yan listens to the order."

The two saw their leader Sun Sheng giving orders. Although they were very confused, they responded quickly.

"Order Yan Yan to lead 10,000 troops to guard Wancheng."

"Order Wei Yan to lead 25,000 troops to join me in rushing to the aid of Xinye County."

After listening to Chang Sun Sheng's words, Yan Yan and Wei Yan were both shocked.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yan asked: "Deputy Governor Changsun, has something happened in Xinye?"

"That's right, tens of thousands of Wei troops are attacking Xinye, General Wei, please carry out the military orders!"

After hearing this, Wei Yan took the order and left.

After Wei Yan set off, Changsun Sheng said to Xiang Chong again: "Xiang Xiaowei, you are quite tired after coming a long way. Please don't go to support Xinye. You stay to assist General Yan Yan in guarding Wancheng."

"The last general takes orders."

Immediately, Changsun Sheng said a few more words to Yan Yan before leaving.

After Wei Yan had assembled his troops, Chang Sun Sheng immediately led his troops towards Xinye.

At this time, Cao Ren also commanded his troops to continuously attack Xinye.

Although Zhang Xutuo was capable, the number of defenders in the city was too small, and Xinye was a small city. From the third day on, Zhang Xutuo could only barely hold on to the city.

On the fifth day, the Wei army officers and soldiers finally climbed up to Xinye City in a steady stream.

Upon seeing this, Cao Ren immediately ordered Yue Xi to take the city gate.

After Yue Xi received the order, he followed Wei's soldiers and climbed up the tower.

Zhang Xutuo saw that Wei soldiers were boarding the tower one after another. Although he went around putting out fires, he was still unable to do anything.

Soon, Yue Xi followed the soldiers of Wei and climbed onto the tower.

When Yue Xi discovered that the city's defenders had not collapsed because Zhang Xutuo was fighting fires everywhere, he immediately brandished the Fang Tian Painted Halberd and killed Zhang Xutuo.

Zhang Xutuo had just killed several Wei soldiers when he saw Yue Xi coming to kill them with a halberd.

Immediately, Zhang Xutuo raised his sword and faced Yue Xi.

Although Yue Xi is a first-class warrior, Zhang Xutuo is also a top-class warrior. After the two of them fought, it was impossible to tell the winner in a short period of time.

After Zhang Xutuo and Yue Xi fought for more than fifty rounds, Zhang Xutuo suddenly found that his own soldiers were being crushed by Wei army soldiers.

Aware of this situation, Zhang Xutuo immediately wanted to get rid of Yue Xi and take command, but Yue Xi also noticed Zhang Xutuo's intention and kept pestering Zhang Xutuo to prevent him from leaving.

Although Zhang Xutuo was very anxious, he could not completely get rid of Yue Xi.

Seeing that Xinye County was about to be captured by the Wei army, Zhang Sun Sheng's reinforcements finally arrived.

When Chang Sun Sheng saw that the Wei army was about to capture Xinye County, he quickly observed the battlefield situation.

Immediately afterwards, Chang Sun Sheng gave the order: "Wei Yan listens to the order."

"I order you to lead two thousand cavalry to attack the general in command of the Wei army."

"The general will obey your orders!"

Immediately, Wei Yan quickly led two thousand cavalry and rushed to Cao Ren's location.

After Wei Yan set off, Changsun Sheng also led the remaining troops to attack the Wei army that was attacking the city.

Furthermore, when Wei Yan led two thousand cavalry to fight out from Cao Ren's flank, Wei soldiers immediately reported the incident to Cao Ren.

When Cao Ren learned that the Xia army's cavalry was attacking from the flank, he immediately arranged a group of troops to block the flank.

Wei Yan saw Wei Jun's reaction very quickly, but he didn't pay attention.

Soon, Wei Yan's cavalry rushed to the flanking Wei army.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yan wielded his long sword and slashed hard at the Wei soldiers who were raising their shields.

Facing Wei Yan's blow, Wei's soldiers were shocked and fell to the ground.

Taking this opportunity, Wei Yan led his cavalry to rush forward and break through the Wei army's obstruction.

At the same time, Chang Sun Sheng also led the remaining more than 20,000 people to launch a surprise attack from the flank towards the Wei army attacking the city.

After the Wei army that was attacking the city was attacked by Changsun Sheng's troops, the number of soldiers who boarded the city decreased significantly.

Cao Ren was very angry when he saw that the soldiers attacking the city were blocked. Before he could calm down, Wei Yan on the flank was about to kill him.

When Xun You, the military advisor next to Cao Ren, saw that Wei Yan's troops were marching straight in, he quickly said to Cao Ren: "General Cao Ren, the Xia army on the flank has already come over. It is not appropriate to attack the city at this time. I also ask the general to order a gold medal."

After hearing this, Cao Ren immediately looked to his right.

When he saw that Wei Yan was indeed about to kill him, he did not adopt Xun You's suggestion, because withdrawing his troops now would only plunge tens of thousands of troops into chaos.
