Chapter 1037: Cao Cao Breaks Out

Yecheng, a rare big city in the Han Dynasty, was the most affluent place except Luoyang.

It is now dilapidated.

The city wall was smashed by Zhang Yu and collapsed in many places.

In the city, the two armies have fought to the last moment.

Cao Ren went to make arrangements, and several generals broke out ahead.

And he left Xu Chu and Zhang Jaw, and the three of them protected Cao Cao and retreated at last.

After Cao Ren made arrangements, he went to see Cao Cao.

"Meng De, everything has been arranged. After midnight, we will take the opportunity to break out. When we break out, we will burn down a section of the street, only tens of meters, to block the pursuers, and not to burn the surrounding area." Cao Ren said .

Cao Cao said after listening to the report: "Let Huchi and Junyi stay, and you have to lead the army to break through."

Cao Ren said, "It's still safe for Meng De to lead his troops to break through."

After staying behind, the danger will be even greater, because Zhang Yu's army will definitely attack frantically.

Cao Cao insisted on staying, he said: "No, if I leave first, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop Zhang Yu's army."

This battle has exceeded Cao Cao's expectations, and it is a very helpless way for him to stay.

Cao Ren couldn't persuade him, and there was nothing he could do.

At night, the two sides stopped fighting again and rested on the street together.

It has been several days like this, and each other is used to each other's existence.

As for Cao Cao's side, they began to prepare after nightfall, the mobilization of troops, and the deployment of generals were slowly and secretly carried out.

During the night, both sides fell silent.

"on fire."

"No, Cao Jun wants to attack at night."

"Cao Jun dared to set fire."

Suddenly, fires broke out in several places on the street.

These are all places controlled by Cao Jun.

In this silent night, it was very obvious.

"No, Cao Jun wants to break through."

As soon as the fire started, the Cao troops who were confronting them quickly retreated.

After Cao Jun passed, Cao Jun pushed down the fire pile, and a large amount of firewood was blocked in the middle of the street.

"Retreat, exit the city."

"Rewind quickly, leaving a small number of people ready to fight the fire."

Several Zhang Yu's generals decisively ordered to retreat. They didn't know whether Cao Jun would set fire to the city as he did last time, so they let the army retreat first.

There was no fire in the direction of the south gate, and Cao Jun began to attack violently at this time.

Zhao Yun was in charge of the south gate, and he did not expect the enemy to break through.

Most of this place was originally controlled by Cao Jun.

Zhao Yun and the others arranged some defensive lines that were breached one after another.

These Cao troops are all crazy, and they are all elite soldiers arranged by Cao Ren.

Several generals, Cao Ren, Cao Xiu, Zhang Xiu, Xiahoushang, Xiahoudun and others all rushed forward.

Zhao Yun couldn't resist, so he could only retreat.

Zhao Yun set up two more lines of defense, and then went to defend the city wall himself.

Defending the city wall is to defend the stairs leading to the top of the city. As long as you defend here, Cao Jun will have to face the defenders on the top of the city if they want to pass, and they will have to pay a huge price.

Several Cao generals were very powerful, breaking through Zhao Yun's defense line one after another.

"Let the arrows go."

When they rushed over, the arrows on the top of the city began to shoot.

The arrows are dense, and the enemy troops below are also very dense, which is a massacre.

A large number of arrows poured down.

Cao Jun seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago. A large number of sword and shield soldiers were deployed in front of them, and they continued to attack against the arrows.

"Separate two groups of people to attack the city wall, and the rest rush out.

"

Rushing out doesn't mean breaking out.

After Zhang Yu and Huang Zhong left the city gate, they guessed that Cao Jun was going to break through, so they hurriedly reorganized their forces and rushed to the south gate.

At this time, part of Cao's army had already rushed out of the city gate, fighting with the army outside the city.

The troops on both sides that were about to attack the city wall were all shot down by Zhao Yun.

They were condescending, and Cao Jun could not attack.

The arrows above kept pouring down.

In the end, Cao Jun had no choice but to rush over.

A large number of people fell.

The archer above hastily attacked for more than a dozen rounds, and his arm lost strength, unable to draw the bow and arrow.

Fortunately, at this time, the troops from other walls rushed over to support.

A group of archers were replaced, and a fierce attack began again.

There are more and more people in the city.

Cao Cao, who was probably in the middle and rear, followed them out of the city gate.

When all Cao's troops rushed out of the city gate, they lost more than 30,000 troops under the arrows, which can be described as a heavy loss.

But there was no way, the result was beyond their expectations, and the city wall lost its effect too early, otherwise they could at least consume Zhang Yu's army of more than 100,000 by relying on the city wall.

"The whole army is only concerned with the assault, and it counts as much as it protrudes." Cao Cao shouted.

At this time, Cao Cao had already rushed to the front, the army had already come out, and the next step was to break through.

And Xu Chu also followed in front of Cao Cao, and the several generals in front attacked together, and their strength was very strong.

Zhang Jaw was the only one who was broken.

The jaw opening ability is very strong, and he retreats while fighting, very rhythmic.

But not long after, Zhang Yu and Huang Zhong rushed over.

And Zhang Liao moved forward, ready to intercept them in front.

Zhang Yu and Huang Zhong crashed into their formation, one on the left and one on the right.

Immediately, Cao Jun's formation was cut off from the middle.

Zhao Yun also organized soldiers and horses in the rear, and killed them from the rear.

Zhang Jaw and the others were surrounded, cut off in the middle, and they fell into the siege.

Zhang Jaw made several assaults, and after assaulting from two directions, he was blocked back.

When Zhao Yun came over, they were completely surrounded.

"Kill, separate them."

Zhang Yu gave up chasing Cao Cao. It would be a great thing if all the tens of thousands of Cao's troops could stay.

Zhang Yu and several generals began to attack from all directions.

Cao Jun formed a circular formation and has been resisting.

The resistance was very strong, and Zhang Yu and the others were squeezed out after they charged in.

But the advantage is that Zhang Yu still ordered a violent assault.

"Come on, let's take turns attacking."

Zhang Yu didn't let Dian Wei follow him, but asked him to lead a team.

In this way, the two each led a team, and then began to attack.

Zhang Yu charged more than 30 meters and opened a passage. At this time, Cao Jun came up and wanted to block the passage again.

At this time, Dian Wei from behind began to attack, opening the gap even wider.

Zhang Yu lost his impact, so he began to reorganize his troops.

When Dian Wei weakened, Zhang Yu led another attack.

After several impacts, Cao Jun was cut into a small piece.

The army behind widened the gap and encircled and annihilated part of the enemy.

After two dashes, Zhang Yu achieved a partial goal.

Zhang Jaw was taken aback. In such a situation, they were very dangerous, and there was no hope of breaking through.

Zhang Jai came to intercept Zhang Yu with soldiers and horses, wanting to stop Zhang Yu and prevent his formation from being broken.

Zhang Jaw came to kill in a hurry.

"Open your jaw, surrender quickly, you have no chance."

Zhang Yu saw Zhang Jaw approaching, so he also went up to fight.
