Cao Cao gestured for Lu Zhi to enter.
Lu Zhi nodded and entered the city with Liu Bei and the others.
Inside Hulao Pass, Lu Zhi introduced Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to Cao Cao and others.
Inside a room, Cao Cao informed Lu Zhi of their current situation.
"What? Is this Lü Bu really that powerful?" Lu Zhi asked in shock.
Unexpectedly, there was such a powerful figure in the Yellow Turban Army; this was something Lu Zhi had not anticipated.
"Not only that, the Yellow Turban Army also has an army called the Trapped Camp, whose fighting power is extremely fierce and terrifying!" Cao Cao said solemnly.
"If our army were to engage them in battle, we would undoubtedly be defeated."
Lu Zhi frowned. He had never heard of the Trapped Camp, but Cao Cao certainly did.
"Master Lu, what should we do next?" Cao Cao asked.
With Lu Zhi joining them, they now have nearly 200,000 troops guarding Hulao Pass.
The Yellow Turban Army only numbered 100,000, but they had a highly skilled warrior named Lü Bu, making it difficult for them to withstand the Yellow Turban Army's attacks.
If a breach is made, then the entire Hulao Pass will be in danger.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Zhi said, "Mengde, do not worry. His Majesty's appointment allows us to mobilize troops from all over the country to come to our aid!"
"Oh?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
Lu Zhi continued, "We can first mobilize troops from various prefectures and counties in Guandong, which should be enough to deal with the Yellow Turban Army!"
"Alright, we'll do as Master Lu says!" Cao Cao agreed without hesitation.
Then, Cao Cao sent people to notify officials in various prefectures, counties, and districts to mobilize troops to come to the rescue.
Meanwhile, after returning to his camp, Lü Bu said, "This humble general has lived up to expectations, repelling the enemy general and completely crushing the morale of Hulao Pass!"
"Fengxian is indeed brave!" Gao Shun praised.
All the generals smiled, for they were well aware of Lü Bu's record.
"Fengxian, you've worked hard. Take a couple of days off now."
"Gao Shun, we will continue our siege tomorrow and strive to take Hulao Pass!" Xu Huang ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Gao Shun was very excited; he hadn't participated in a war for a long time.
The first time he fought against the Yellow Turban Army, he was now fighting alongside them. Gao Shun felt his blood boiling.
The next day, Xu Huang and Lü Bu led 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to attack Hulao Pass. This time, the Yellow Turban army adopted a phased attack strategy.
Lu Bu took the lead and charged to the foot of Hulao Pass. With a roar, he charged straight at the defending troops.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers guarding Hulao Pass all drew their bows and nocked arrows, shooting at Lü Bu.
"Clang!" Lu Bu swung his halberd, instantly deflecting the arrow flying towards him.
In the blink of an eye, Lü Bu charged toward the city gate unharmed.
"kill!"
"Protect the general!"
The Yellow Turban soldiers behind Lü Bu immediately swarmed forward, protecting Lü Bu as he charged toward the city wall.
One hundred thousand Yellow Turban soldiers, like locusts swarming across the land, swept towards the city walls in a spectacular display.
"Release the arrows!" Cao Ren shouted coldly.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh...
A dense barrage of arrows rained down from the sky, heading straight for Lü Bu.
However, Lü Bu was not afraid at all. Instead, he laughed loudly and charged into the torrent of arrows with his halberd in hand.
When the Yellow Turban soldiers behind Lü Bu saw him, they rushed in like tigers descending a mountain, completely disregarding their own lives.
After the Yellow Turban army charged into the torrent of arrows, they quickly found a position to dodge them.
Soon, people climbed up the city wall.
Lu Bu, on the other hand, fought with increasing ferocity, wielding his halberd with fierce power, knocking down all the arrows swirling around him.
Although Lü Bu was not injured, he was greatly exhausted.
After all, even Lu Bu, no matter how strong, wasn't made of iron. The fact that he managed to fight his way to the city walls was already quite impressive.
Even so, Lü Bu did not stop, but led the Yellow Turban Army to continue their assault on the city walls.
"Release the rolling stones!"
When Cao Ren saw Lü Bu charge onto the city wall, he hurriedly issued new orders.
The huge stones that had been buried under the city wall were carried up by the soldiers.
Rumble~
The boulder crashed down on the Yellow Turban army.
Lu Bu looked at the boulders crashing down, snorted coldly, and swung his halberd, sweeping the boulders away.
"Continue!" Cao Ren gave the order again.
So huge rocks fell from the sky without any cost and crashed into the Yellow Turban army.
"Pfft~"
The first batch of Yellow Turban soldiers who were staring at the city wall were quickly smashed to death, their blood splattering all over the ground.
"Shieldbearers, provide cover!" Lu Bu shouted.
Then the shield-bearer stepped forward to block, relieving the pressure on the Yellow Turban army.
Cao Ren frowned slightly, said nothing more, and gave the order again.
This time, an even more terrifying attack occurred: countless oil canisters fell from the sky, smashing heavily into the ranks of the Yellow Turban soldiers.
Flames burned, thick smoke billowed, and screams rang out.
Upon seeing this, Cao Ren's lips curled up slightly, revealing a victorious smile.
Cao Ren knew better than anyone the power of the kerosene canister; even a tiny bit of it would turn into a fireball and burn a person alive.
Just then, two waves of cavalry suddenly charged out from the left and right flanks, carrying banners bearing the characters "Huangfu" and "Zhu," and quickly flanked the Yellow Turban Army from both sides.
Lu Bu's expression changed drastically. As expected, they had an ambush, which Xu Huang had anticipated!
These two waves of cavalry belonged to the troops of Huangfu and Zhu Jun.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Lü Bu ordered hastily.
The Yellow Turban army quickly scattered and fled Hulao Pass.
However, they were no match for the cavalry and were quickly caught up and killed by Huangfu and Zhu Yi's cavalry.
After the Yellow Turban army was killed, Cao Ren and the others on the city wall finally breathed a sigh of relief.
