Chapter 855 Yuan Shao Escapes for His Life
The black nest was on fire, and half of it was burned red.
Yuan Jun saw the faint flames in the direction of Wuchao from a distance.
Someone hastily reported to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao immediately ordered: "Ju Yi immediately leads a small army to Wuchao for support."
"Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan listened to the order and immediately led the army to attack Cao Jun's camp. We must break Cao Jun's camp."
When Yuan Shao knew that Cao Cao's troops were attacking Wuchao, he was overconfident, thinking that Wuchao could defend, and Cao Cao's camp must be empty at this time, so he sent heavy troops to attack Cao's camp.
Some people also advised Yuan Shao that such an approach would be too risky, but Yuan Shao could no longer listen and did not send heavy troops to support Wuchao.
Ju Yi quickly moved towards Wuchao, and Cao Cao also received the news.
"Order Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan to lead 15,000 people to attack Ju Yi. Be sure to stop them. The rest will continue to attack." Cao Cao ordered.
In this time and space, Cao Cao has a lot more soldiers and horses in his hands, and he doesn't have to take such risks as in history.
Ju Yi led his troops forward quickly, because Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan made a sneak attack because they rushed too fast, and Xia Houyuan finally beheaded him and fell off his horse.
Historically, this Ju Yi was beheaded by Yuan Shao a few years earlier.
But in this time and space, Yuan Shao faced the threat from the direction of Youzhou, so he didn't kill Ju Yi, but at this time, Ju Yi also withdrew from the stage of history.
Ju Yi was beheaded, and the 30,000 reinforcements he brought were also killed and dispersed after a while.
Cao Cao continued to storm Wuchao, and the fire had spread.
After Chunyuqiong woke up, he hurriedly commanded the army to resist, but Cao Jun had already attacked.
Chunyu Qiong went into battle, and was beheaded in a short while.
With no general in charge, Wuchao gradually became unable to defend. Coupled with the burning of the fire, Yuan Jun's soldiers lost the courage to resist.
Yuan Jun gradually gave up resistance, and Cao Cao took advantage of the situation and burned all the food and grass.
On the other side, Gao Lan and Zhang Jai stormed Cao Ying.
Cao Ang led a small army of tens of thousands to resist the attack of Yuan Jun's more than 300,000 troops.
This Cao camp was built extremely strong from the beginning, because Cao Cao knew that his army was too few, and Yuan Jun would definitely attack.
In this way, they can only build the military camp very strong.
Knowing that the situation was critical, Zhang Jai and Gao Lan attacked desperately, with great force.
Cao Jun's camp has a lot of layout, and various defensive measures are used.
The two kept attacking from two directions, but Cao Jun's camp was too strong to attack for a long time.
"If you can't break through this camp, I'm afraid there is no hope." Gao Lan thought to himself.
Obviously, if their food stockpiles were all burned, hundreds of thousands of troops could only collapse.
Gao Lan continued to command the army to attack the camp violently, filling it with human lives.
In a quarter of an hour, he had already filled in thousands of soldiers, all with their lives.
The attack effect is naturally there, but the strength of Cao Jun's camp is beyond their imagination.
In fact, Cao Ang is also desperate, the enemy is already crazy, and he can only desperately.
Take out all the defensive measures, if you can't survive today, don't mention all this.
The army attacked violently for more than two hours, and the total number of soldiers killed on both sides was more than 100,000. Of course, most of them were Yuan Jun's soldiers and horses, and Cao Jun did not suffer any losses.
On the other side, Wuchao was burned down by Cao Cao.
After the fire, Cao Cao and the others were naturally very excited. This time, they were going all out and fighting with their backs.
Cao's army didn't have much food, and if they couldn't win this time, they were almost in danger of collapse.
That's why he dared to take such a risk.
But he succeeded.
With Black Nest burned, they had every hope.
"Go, go back and support Ang'er." Cao Cao won the victory and led the crowd back.
At dawn, the news that Wuchao was completely burned down reached Yuan Jun's camp. Yuan Shao spurted out a mouthful of old blood and almost died of anger.
"My lord, without food, the soldiers in front will not be able to last long. Order to retreat immediately."
In fact, there was no need for Guo Tu to persuade him, Yuan Shao already understood that the situation was over.
"Let's go, let's go back to Yecheng, and make a comeback in the future." Yuan Shao said.
It's not easy to make a comeback. This time they basically lost here, and it's not known how many soldiers in front will be able to come back.
Yuan Shao abandoned the camp and fled back to Jizhou. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers in front to retreat.
Soon, the news reached Gao Lan and Zhang Jaw.
Gao Lan and Zhang Jai temporarily stopped attacking, and then the two retreated to the left and right, and the two talked alone tens of meters away from the soldiers.
"It's a failure, it's a complete failure, all the food and grass are destroyed." Zhang Jaw said.
Gao Lan also looked sad, what a good situation, but it turned out like this.
"The soldiers only have half of the dry food, and it will take more than ten years to go back to Jizhou. We can't escape at all along the way, and Cao Jun will definitely take the opportunity to hunt down and kill them." Gao Lan said.
"I understand General Gao's meaning, I propose to surrender Cao Cao." Zhang Jaw said.
"Okay, let's surrender, otherwise we will end up in a bad situation if we flee back to Jizhou. This time, we will lose a million troops, and Jizhou won't be able to last much longer." Gao Lan said.
They stopped attacking and expressed their surrender to Cao Ang.
Cao Ang asked Xun You and others to guard the camp, and then said: "I will go out alone to talk to them and ask them to surrender. If we can recruit them, we will become the strongest princes. We will be defeated in the future, just around the corner."
Seeing Cao Ang's arrogance, Xun You didn't persuade him in the end. They knew that most of Gao Lan and Zhang Jai really wanted to surrender.
Cao Ang went out alone to accept their surrender, and the soldiers put down their weapons in batches, and were accepted by Cao Jun.
When Cao Cao rushed back, Cao Ang had already begun to receive surrendered troops.
Cao Cao was very excited, he patted Cao Ang on the shoulder and said, "Ang'er is doing well, he is indeed a good helper for father."
This time the Cao army won a big victory, and the Yuan-Cao war that had been fought for almost a year can basically come to an end.
After resting here for three days, I took care of everything inside and out.
Cao Cao began to raise his account and discuss matters.
First of all, Cao Cao grandly introduced Gao Lan and Zhang Jaw to everyone.
"The two generals are extremely talented. It is Cao's luck to be able to abandon the dark and turn to the bright."
Cao Cao introduced the two grandly, and introduced other people to the two.
The conditions in the barracks were not good, so Cao Cao didn't entertain them, and everything would be made up when he went back.
Then Cao Cao said: "Now that Yuan Shao has been defeated, the general situation is over. Our army has surrendered more than 300,000 Yuan troops, and our strength has greatly increased. What do you think?"
"My lord, I wanted to attack Ji, Qing, Xu and other places with great momentum, but our army has run out of food and grass. If it weren't for an emergency dispatch from the rear, our hundreds of thousands of troops would have starved, and now we can only go back to rest We can make a difference only after gathering food and grass again." Xun You came out and said.
Everyone was helpless, the great situation, as long as they took the opportunity to attack, they would definitely be able to destroy Yuan Shao, but at this time, they had no food.
