Chapter 960: Yuan Tan died and suffered more than half of the casualties
"Yuan Tan, you guts rat."
Pei Yuanshao was angry, he wanted to provoke Yuan Tan, but he didn't expect that he was tricked by Yuan Tan instead.
Yuan Tan ignored Pei Yuanshao's insults, what he wanted to think about now was how to get out of the battlefield and not be killed by Xun You.
Yu Ban didn't dare to retreat directly, and if Yuan Tan dared to flee directly, Xun You would not let him go.
Although Yuan Tan did not dare to face Zhao Hui and Pei Yuanshao, the generals of the Zhao army, he was indeed killing the enemy.
It's just that compared to the other generals of the Cao army, Yuan Tan will be more like paddling.
Although he was killed in the Zhao army, the Zhao army killed by Yuan Tan did not match his strength at all.
The spear stabbed out, and many times he didn't kill the people on Zhao Hui's side at all, he just wanted a way to go.
The steps were in front, but Xun You and Liu Xie were standing on the edge of the steps, and Yuan Tan didn't dare to go down from the steps at all.
Xun You will not agree.
Before Yuan Tan could figure out a way, Pei Yuanshao had already chased after him again.
He had to face Pei Yuanshao again.
"Yuan Tan, I'll see how you still run."
"Today I will definitely take your head in exchange for merit."
"Pei Yuanshao, you are looking for death, don't think I'm really afraid of you."
Yuan Tan's spear stabbed out one after another.
But Pei Yuanshao didn't retreat this time, and all of them followed.
He won't let Yuan Tan run away again.
Yuan Tan fought a few shots, wanting to repeat the old trick. Instead, he exacerbated his own physical exertion.
"Yuan Tan, go and reunite with Yuan Shao."
After Pei Yuanshao received a few shots, he began to fight back.
He has more experience than Yuan Tan, and Pei Yuanshao is also more daring to work hard.
Yuan Tan fell into the disadvantage again.
was entangled by Pei Yuanshao, the Zhao army on the side became more and more numerous, the Cao army became less and less, and Yuan Tan became more and more anxious.
He also fantasizes about retaking Jizhou, and he also wants to dominate the side.
He was not willing to die here like this.
He was unwilling to die in the hands of a ragtag general like Pei Yuanshao.
He is the son of Yuan Shao, and he is a descendant of the Yuan family.
He is noble, and the blood flowing in his body is golden.
He can't die at the hands of a Yellow Turban thief.
It's just that no matter how unwilling he is, he can't resist.
Facing the swarming Zhao Jun and the entangled Pei Yuanshao, Yuan Tan was flustered.
Escape, there is no escape, and there is no way to escape.
War, can't fight.
"Gongda, Yuan Tan's side can't hold on, why don't you send someone to support?" Cheng Yu said.
Xun You shook his head: "No, there are no troops to support him now." ”
As soon as Yuan Tan arrived on the city wall, Xun You found out, and he immediately guessed that Yuan Tan was sent by Cao Cao.
Otherwise, before he gave the order, Yuan Tan would not have come up in person.
Although Yuan Tan kept shouting for revenge, Cao Cao, Xun You and others were very psychologically clear.
What Yuan Tan really wants is not revenge, but an opportunity, and he wants to hold the power of the army.
Anyone, on the death list.
Xia Houen is dead, Yu Ban is also dead, why can't Yuan Tan die?
Xun You will not transfer the generals to Yuan Tan's side in order to save Yuan Tan.
This may allow the Zhao army to occupy the entire city wall more quickly.
Now, every force in Xun You's hands must be used carefully.
Everyone needs to play his role, and he must not become cannon fodder because of a certain person.
Cheng Yu just asked, after all, Yuan Tan was Yuan Shao's eldest son, and he had taken the initiative to surrender to Cao Cao before.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also had a friendship at the beginning, and Cheng Yu was not sure whether Cao Cao wanted to keep the Yuan family's bloodline.
The tiger talisman is in Xun You's hands, everything here must obey Xun You, Xun You went to see Cao Cao before, and Cheng Yu is not sure if Cao Cao already has a specific order and issued it to Xun You.
Although the Son of Heaven is here, Liu Xie has never personally commanded a war, and Cheng Yu has never thought of letting Liu Xie call the shots.
Liu Xie just needs to stand here now.
Cheng Yu glanced at Liu Xie.
found that Liu Xie's face was quite calm, but his feet seemed to be trembling slightly.
I don't know if it's because I've been standing for a long time, or because I'm afraid.
Liu Xie is very smart, but it's a pity that no one has taught him seriously all along.
Just now, Xun You mentioned that Liu Xie has changed so much now.
From the first panic, to the current composure.
The average person really can't do it.
There are few people who can overcome the fear in their hearts so easily.
But Liu Xie did it.
He was not frightened, his face was as pale as earth, his body was still standing very straight, the same as Xun Yu on the side.
"Maybe in another ten years, he will be a qualified genius." A thought suddenly popped up in Cheng Yu's heart.
It's just just a thought, and as Cheng Yu retracts his gaze and looks at the battlefield, this thought will dissipate, and it may never appear again in the future.
On the city wall, the number of Cao's army has been reduced to only one-third.
Zhao Jun has fully gained the upper hand.
Cheng Yu's gaze refocused on Yuan Tan's side.
Then, he saw Pei Yuanshao slash Yuan Tan to death.
Even if Xun You agreed to send people to rescue Yuan Tan just now, it would be too late in time.
Xun You and Cheng Yu's own strength was not high, and they couldn't see how long Yuan Tan could hold out.
Not only Yuan Tan, but also other Cao generals, Xun You also couldn't see it.
If he could see it, he would not have let Yu Ban resist Zhao Hui alone before.
will definitely send more manpower to resist together with Yu Ban.
When he found that Yu Ban was invincible, Xun You could also make adjustments immediately.
But he didn't see any of this, and he thought that Yu Ban should be able to hold on for a while.
As a result, what I saw was that Yu Ban was killed by Zhao Hui.
The sword has no eyes.
The battlefield is even more dangerous.
It looks evenly matched, and it looks like it can be supported, but in the next breath, or even just a blink of an eye, one side dies under the knife.
With Xun Yu Chengyu's strength, it is difficult to respond in time.
As strategists, they are more in control of the overall situation, but local transient changes, they are difficult to control, and they will always slow down.
Yuan Tan's death had no effect on Cao Jun.
Not even a splash.
In the Cao army, Yuan Tan has no status at all, and many Cao Jun on the side don't know Yuan Tan.
If those Cao Jun helped Yuan Tan a little, Pei Yuanshao wouldn't have killed him so easily.
It's a pity that no one is willing to block the knife for Yuan Tan.
Pei Yuanshao cut off Yuan Tan's head, pinned it to his waist, and then continued to rush and kill.
"Gongda, send someone to inform Cao Gong to prepare." Cheng Yu said.
They are a little slower to react to local transient changes.
But they are very clear about the situation of the whole battle.
They're no longer good.
If it continues, it will soon turn into a massacre.
Even if Liu Xie is here, he can't change this result.
The average army will collapse after more than half of the casualties.
The Cao army in the city has now suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and now it is approaching 40,000.
