Chapter 1075: Chaos in Yanzhou

? The entire force is going to retreat, and it will take the people along with it.

How difficult it is.

Dong Zhuo did the same thing back then, and the people complained, and most of the people died on the road.

Cao Cao also wants to do such a thing, and Cao Cao's reputation will definitely be bad by then.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Cao Cao lost a lot of territory again. Those families who supported him were also injured and suffered a big blow. In the end, I don't know how many families still supported him.

However, Cao Cao had no choice.

"Winner and loser, this battle, let me meet you well." Cao Cao looked into the col and said.

Cheng Yu left with Xu You, and the 30,000 troops were not mobilized from him, but from other cities.

Evacuate many cities directly, and then start a big retreat.

The big retreat is not easy. First of all, the government's supplies must be retreated first.

Grain, grass, and property are not easy to transport, and people must be arranged to evacuate first.

Afterwards, the aristocratic families, officials, etc., cannot retreat in a swarm, and it will inevitably cause great chaos at that time, and their army may be wiped out.

Leave the matter of retreat to others, and Cao Cao will have a decisive battle with Zhang Yu here.

"Tiger Chi, Cao Ren, order you two to lead soldiers and horses to attack."

After Cheng Yu left, Cao Cao calmed down and ordered an attack.

Attack, attack, attack.

Cao Jun began to attack.

About 50,000 troops were killed under the leadership of two generals.

Although the number of people is large, the situation is not very optimistic, because the contact area is relatively small, and the actual number of people attacked by the two armies is not very large.

Cao Cao made people attack day and night while trying to figure out a way.

There were too many 50,000 troops, and the terrain was too narrow to accommodate so many people. Cao Jun withdrew some of his troops,

Then followed by archers.

"Let the arrows go."

Cao Jun's archers, led by Zhang Xiu, supported behind.

They arranged more than ten thousand archers.

"Well done, the archers attack." The enemy archers attacked, and Zhang Yu was not polite, and ordered the archers on both sides to start a counterattack.

Zhang Yu and the others have the advantage of the terrain, and when the arrow rains down, they can wipe out a whole lot of enemy troops.

The two sides fought like this.

After fighting for a while, Zhang Yu ordered the archers to suspend their attack and hide behind their shields.

"Anyway, if your archers can't hit, if you can't charge up, I will spend time with you."

Cao Jun was embarrassed, because their archers could only attack the opponent's archers, and Zhang Yu's archers stopped fighting now, and erected their shields.

Cao Jun attacked for two days, but made little progress. Although the losses were not much, both sides lost more than 10,000 horses, but the fight like this is far away.

Cao Cao was very upset and didn't know what to do.

The army continued to attack, while Cao Cao was walking around restlessly in the big tent.

For five days in a row, there was no progress. Although the two sides attacked day and night, there was no result.

In five days, the situation in Yanzhou changed a lot.

Gao Shun finally reached Xuchang, and many cities of Cao Jun were captured.

Xuchang was attacked, which was a major event, and the shock in Yanzhou was a huge blow to morale.

On the other side, Zhang Liao was also progressing smoothly. When he knew that Zhang Yu was trapped, Zhang Liao's attack power instantly increased, and a large number of soldiers were dispatched from the rear to support.

As for Zhao Yun, he didn't move at all. At this time, he was still in Runan City. It was originally planned that Zhang Yu would leave in three days, but now, he didn't move.

Zhao Yun naturally had his own considerations.

Although Zhang Yu was trapped, he was actually quite happy because he didn't have to worry about his own safety at all.

If Cao Cao is held back, it will be a big victory.

Cao Cao continued to attack, while Zhang Yu was completely on the defensive, not wanting to go out at all.

About ten days later, Cao Cao still had no progress.

However, major events have occurred in the entire land of Yanzhou.

Cheng Yu and Xu You began to arrange a large retreat.

The people in Xuchang retreated first, and a large number of officials and aristocratic families began to retreat with their families.

Some people didn't want to retreat, but Cheng Yu directly forced them to move out.

The military and government retreated, and Xu You arranged for the common people to retreat.

This is very difficult and can only be forced.

The whole Yanzhou is in chaos, and it is difficult for the people to accept the place where they have lived for generations.

It is difficult to accept, but it must be accepted.

Under the coercion of the army, many people had no choice but to migrate.

However, with so few troops, most places couldn't take care of them, so many people began to flee.

Some aristocratic families also began to scramble to escape.

Here, on the battlefield, Cao Cao used various methods and even sent people to sneak attack from the back mountain, but all failed.

Thirteen days have passed, and the two sides are still fighting.

Three days ago, Cao Cao received that Zhao Yun went out of the city one night, and after following for half the night, Zhao Yun disappeared.

This is a big deal.

It is not clear how many people Zhao Yun brought with him, probably between 30,000 and 80,000, and their whereabouts are also unknown, but they will definitely join Zhang Yu.

This made Cao Cao very worried, looking around for precautions.

If this matter is not resolved, Cao Cao cannot be completely at ease.

After fighting for more than ten days, Zhang Yu suffered little loss, but he was trapped and couldn't get out.

"It's almost time, it's time for a decisive battle with Cao Cao." Zhang Yu calculated silently.

Zhao Yun has already responded and started to act. At the same time, Zhang Yu also received news of the chaos in Yanzhou.

This is a great opportunity, and Zhang Yu doesn't want Cao Cao's elite soldiers to go to Luoyang.

At that time, it will be difficult to fight again.

Therefore, Zhang Yu wanted to keep Cao Jun.

It is very difficult to keep Cao Jun, because Zhang Yu's troops are insufficient.

Cao's army is about twice as big as his own. Although there is a difference in combat power, it will not be that big.

"My lord, leave this matter to some of us. You can't take risks and leave from the back mountain, otherwise how can the ministers attack with confidence." Huang Zhong disagreed with Zhang Yu personally leading the troops to attack.

But Zhang Yu didn't hesitate.

"We are enough to rush out from the front. There are you, Elai, Ziyi, and a group of young generals, and Zilong is supporting us from the outside. Let's make a frontal assault first, and then pursue Cao Jun." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu is already a great force in the army, but also the soul of the soldiers.

Seeing that Zhang Yu disagreed, several people couldn't force it.

On the morning of the sixteenth day, Zhang Yu and the others began to prepare to break out.

Huang Zhong and Tai Shici led the army in front, ready to charge out.

"Soldiers, protect His Majesty to go out."

"kill."

Huang Zhong yelled loudly, and the crowd began to heat up.

The army assaulted, and the soldiers burst out with great combat power and began to attack.

Tens of thousands of troops rushed out in waves to fight Cao Jun.

Huang Zhong slashed with a big sword, splitting the enemy's wooden shield in half with one blow, killing even the enemy.

Tai Shici swept across with his long spear, parrying the enemy's sword soldiers, and the soldiers behind took the opportunity to stab and kill the enemy.

The generals and soldiers cooperated very well, and they worked together to kill outside.

Everyone refused to let Zhang Yu take risks, so Zhang Yu took command of the Chinese army.
