[A Twin Jewel of Military and Political Power (Gold)]:
Passive: Territory food production +30%, and the defense of the defending troops is increased by 25%.

Passive: When defending a city, the "False Reinforcements" effect is automatically triggered, causing the enemy to misjudge the size of our forces. There is a 30% chance that the enemy's siege will be delayed, and a 15% chance that the enemy will be lured into splitting their forces. If the enemy falls for the trap, their first round of attack damage will be reduced by 40%.

Chen Deng's ability to combine strategies successfully slowed down Yuan Shu's army's offensive pace and made them complacent.

From morning until noon, Yuan's soldiers waited in vain for orders from their superiors.

As time went on, rumors about Chen Deng possibly surrendering quietly spread within the army.

At first, it was just a few people talking about it in private, but it quickly spread like wildfire throughout the entire army.

The soldiers' mindsets gradually changed, their tense nerves began to relax, and discipline within the ranks became increasingly lax.

They figured that since the other side was going to surrender, it wouldn't be a big deal if they relaxed a little.

As a result, some people started to slack off while on guard duty, and others chatted idly in their tents, completely losing the tense demeanor that should be expected of soldiers on the march.

Even more outrageous, some soldiers actually removed their armor and weapons, and sat down on the ground to rest, treating the battlefield as their camp.

Li Feng and Yue Jiu were still discussing how to deal with Chen Deng and Cao Jun, completely unaware of these changes among the soldiers.

Cao Yan, who was observing from a high place in the distance, and Chen Deng, who was watching from the city tower, keenly noticed the changes in Yuan's army camp.

Seeing that the ranks of Yuan's soldiers were becoming increasingly chaotic and their attitude increasingly lax, the entire military formation was completely destroyed.

Seeing this, Chen Deng knew the time had come!
Since the other party has already revealed a weakness, there is no need to be polite. I just hope that Cao Yan will not let me down, otherwise I can only say that he is "all talk and no action".

Chen Deng decisively issued the order: "The time has come! Soldiers, the day to make our mark is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the city gate of Pengcheng slowly opened with the strenuous effort of dozens of strong men.

Behind the city gate, the only two hundred cavalrymen were already in full battle array, ready for action.

These cavalrymen were all private soldiers raised by the Chen family.

The Pengcheng garrison poured out in full force, led by the Chen family's two hundred or so cavalrymen, and charged toward the Yuan army's position, which was in disarray and had not yet recovered from its shock.

"Today is the day to make a name for yourself and achieve great things!!"

"kill!"

"kill!!"

As Chen Deng watched his troops bravely fight the enemy outside the city, a surge of heroic spirit welled up within him.

He turned and strode to the war drum, pulled aside the soldier who was beating the drum, and stepped forward to grab the drumsticks, starting to beat the drum himself to cheer on the troops.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As Chen Deng beat the drum, he turned his head and shouted hoarsely towards the outside of the city:

"Soldiers, fight the enemy!!"

"Kill the son of a bitch!!"

On the city wall, soldiers saw Chen Deng personally beating the drum and shouted loudly to the soldiers charging below:

"The governor himself is beating the drums to boost morale! Brothers, fight to the death!"

Their morale was already high, but when they heard that Chen Deng was personally beating the drums to cheer them on, their blood boiled and their morale soared to its peak.

Chen Deng enjoyed immense prestige among the people and soldiers of Pengcheng.

He was considerate of the people's plight, cared for the weak and orphans; and he was fair in rewarding and punishing his soldiers, showing them great care.

His good deeds earned him great prestige among the people and soldiers of Pengcheng, and he was deeply respected and loved by everyone.

Now, seeing this gentle, scholarly-looking prefect personally beating the drums to cheer them on, the soldiers of Pengcheng were suddenly energized, roaring as they charged toward Yuan's army position, wishing they could tear the enemy to shreds immediately.

Upon seeing Chen Deng launch a sudden attack, Le Jiu and Li Feng quickly returned to their respective camps to prepare for defense.

Fortunately, the garrison at Pengcheng was small in number, and after the initial chaos, they gradually regained their footing. Cao Yan had already seen Chen Deng's actions from afar, and the effect was indeed quite obvious, successfully drawing all of Yuan Shu's army's attention.

So, with a wave of his hand, he decisively ordered, "Zilong, Qingyuan, you two lead the troops to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's rear!"

"Your subordinates obey!" Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan replied in unison, and rode off on horseback.

As the sound of hooves suddenly rang out, the Flying Dragon Cavalry launched a surprise attack on Yuan's soldiers from a hillside!
Yuan Jun was focused on dealing with the attack from the Pengcheng garrison at the front when he was suddenly attacked from the rear by Cao Cao's army, putting him in a predicament of being attacked from both sides.

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan led more than 9,000 cavalrymen in a hail of arrows and then charged into the enemy lines. Yuan's army was unable to defend itself from both ends, and a huge gap was torn in their defensive line in an instant.

As the Flying Dragon Cavalry charged out, Cao Yan led the Qingzhou Army closely behind them, charging into the enemy ranks.

During the charge, Cao Yan couldn't help but sigh, "It seems we need to recruit a few more fierce generals, otherwise I'll be exhausted to death if I do everything myself..."

The cavalry tore a gap in the enemy's rear, and the infantry that followed took the opportunity to widen the gap and plunge deep into the enemy's heartland!

At this point, Yuan Jun's army was in complete chaos.

The soldiers scattered and fled in all directions, completely losing their command; there was no trace of their former formation left.

On the battlefield, Zhao Yun would charge at the enemy general's banner, while also frequently drawing his bow and arrow, killing enemy officers one by one.

Xiahou Lan, leading his cavalry, struggled to keep up with Zhao Yun.

As he fought, he shouted at Zhao Yun, "Zilong, can you slow down a bit? At least leave one of my generals to practice on!"

However, Zhao Yun was engrossed in the battle and had no time to respond to him.

"what!"

"puff!"

Zhao Yun charged to the banner bearing the character "乐" (yue) with his personal martial prowess, and then thrust his spear through the crowd, killing Yue Jiu with unparalleled precision.

Then, he withdrew his spear and swept it across the battlefield, clearing out the surrounding enemy troops.

Then he turned to Xiahou Lan and asked loudly, "Qingyuan! What did you just say??"

"..." Xiahou Lan's eyes twitched slightly upon seeing this, not wanting to pay any attention to this thick-browed, big-eyed jerk.

So he simply turned around and charged toward another enemy general.

A large flag embroidered with the character "Li" moved across the battlefield, attracting Xiahou Lan's attention.

He judged that this must be the banner of the enemy general Li Feng, so he prepared to lead his cavalry to intercept and kill him.

However, before his warhorse could even take a step, a tall and imposing figure suddenly leaped high into the air, then crashed down with the force of a mountain!

Dian Wei!

Once Dian Wei entered the crowd, he was like a human meat grinder, leaving blood splattering everywhere, and severed limbs and human parts flying all around.

"Damn it! How could I forget about this guy?" Xiahou Lan exclaimed.

Seeing Dian Wei's ferocity, Li Feng dared not fight back and turned to run away.

Dian Wei looked up at Li Feng, who was fleeing in the opposite direction, reached for his lower back with both hands, and then shot out two flying halberds!

"Whoosh!" Two whooshing sounds rang out, and then two flying halberds steadily pierced Li Feng's left lower back, exploding his kidneys.

"Hiss!!!" Xiahou Lan involuntarily clutched his kidneys upon seeing this, muttering, "I rarely see Old Dian use the flying halberd, I never expected him to shoot so accurately!"

With their commander killed, Li Feng's soldiers scattered and fled like birds and beasts.

Dian Wei strolled up leisurely, beheaded Li Feng with a single halberd strike, tucked the head into his belt, and grinned, saying, "Three days' worth of liquor, done!"

At this moment, the phrase "risking one's life for a living" finally became a concrete reality, except that for Dian Wei, what he risked was someone else's head...

In the blink of an eye, Yuan Jun's two generals were all killed.

Seeing Li Feng's severed head hanging from Dian Wei's waist, Xiahou Lan began to panic.
"If you keep killing like this, who else can I kill? Don't I have any dignity?"
