Cao Cao personally commanded.

But in this battle, Cao Cao's military formation, was mainly defensive.

He was not in a hurry to defeat Xu Huang.

At the same time, let some of the soldiers enter the snake path first.

If Cao Cao now has all the soldiers in his hands thrown into battle.

It is possible to end this battle in half an hour.

But after the outbreak, he was about to face the 20,000 Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Xiaoshun.

The Yellow Turban Army in Xu Huang's hand can no longer be seen with his previous gaze.

They have taken off their hats as miscellaneous soldiers.

Cao Cao could wipe out the two thousand Yellow Turban troops in front of him, but he would never be able to destroy the next 20,000.

At the same time, Cao Cao was worried that if he defeated Xu Huang and entered the snake path, Xu Huang would have the idea of setting fire.

As long as he continues to entangle with Xu Huang. Let Xu Huang see hope. Xu Huang will not suddenly set fire.

This battle was much less bloody than before.

Cao Cao's purpose changed.

Xu Huang and Cao Cao both wanted to stall for time.

They all want this battle, to fight a little longer.

So they are all controlling their own soldiers, and the scope of the battle is reduced, Xu Huang has two thousand people in his hands, but there are only a few hundred people who are fighting with Cao Jun.

Xu Huang saw Cao Cao, who was relatively short.

Cao Cao sat on the top of Jueying.

Among the dozens of generals of the Cao army. Cao Cao is very inconspicuous.

Aside from the beard on his face, Cao Cao is hardly memorable.

The war horse under him is more eye-catching than him.

Xu Huang saw the shadow under Cao Cao before he determined Cao Cao's identity.

Cao Cao is very inconspicuous among dozens of generals, and it is easy to be ignored.

But the shadow under him, among all the war horses on the battlefield, is the arrogant king.

Just one glance will make people reluctant to look away.

Jueying is also a horse king who is unique in ten thousand.

The war horses of Xu Huang and others are far inferior to the peerless shadow.

Although he hadn't seen Cao Cao, Xu Huang could guess the identity of the person sitting on its back when he looked at the shadow.

People who don't understand horses look at every war horse as if it's the same.

They can't tell the good from the bad.

But for those who know horses and love horses.

Whether a war horse is good or not can be seen at a glance.

Xu Huang himself has never ridden a horse king.

But he was in Jizhou before, when he was by Zhao Hui's side.

I have seen Zhao Hui's yellow lion, Dian Wei's black whirlwind, and Zhao Yun's flying lightning.

He could see at a glance that the peerless shadow under Cao Cao was also the horse king who was not inferior to the black whirlwind.

As long as Cao Cao is still here, Xu Huang is not in a hurry.

If Cao Cao can be kept, then 100,000 people will also come back.

can't stop the people from entering the snake road, and Xu Huang is now dragging Cao Cao, which is the same result.

Cao Cao was worried that Xu Huang would set the fire.

But at present, Xu Huang has not taken this into account.

Xu Huang was still thinking about using manpower to drag Cao Cao.

I didn't think about borrowing fire and water to achieve my own goals.

But he didn't think of it now, and there was no guarantee that Xu Huang wouldn't think of it later.

Cao Cao's worries were not unfounded.

Because Cao Cao was here, Xu Huang's first thought was to use the troops in his hands to stop Cao Cao.

But if Cao Cao was not there, Xu Huang would immediately start thinking about what else could be done to stop Cao Cao.

Fire attack is not a brilliant strategy.

Even if Xu Huang didn't expect it.

There are also Zhang Dahe, Wang Xiaohu and others, there will always be someone who will think of it.

So Cao Cao didn't bet on this probability.

He will use his own strength to try not to let Xu Huang make other choices.

Some people blame their failure on their own bad luck.

I didn't think about it, they tried to change it themselves.

Whether or not to set fire seems to be Xu Huang's choice. It has nothing to do with Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao could divert Xu Huang's attention through others.

Let Xu Huang have no time, or ignore setting fire to the mountain.

Minimize your own danger.

For now, at least, Cao Cao has succeeded.

Xu Huang still focused on dragging Cao Cao in his heart, waiting for Zhang Xiaoshun to lead the army to arrive, and then dealt a fatal blow to Cao Cao.

didn't realize that Cao Cao was also dragging time.

The battle continues.

Cao Cao's soldiers outside the snake road were only three people left.

The others were not killed in battle, but had already entered the snake path.

Cao Cao's acting is also very real.

He doesn't make it easy for people to see his purpose.

During the battle, he also let some soldiers continue to enter the snake road, and he always gave Xu Huang a feeling that he had been preparing to retreat.

It's just that in terms of speed, these soldiers are now slower than the previous 100,000 civilians.

Xu Huang, who was in the battle, had not noticed this for the time being.

He sensed that Cao Jun was decreasing, and some people were constantly entering the snake path.

Xu Huang still thinks that Cao Cao is waiting for these soldiers.

After a while, Cao Cao will leave with everyone.

Xu Huang was leading people to attack Cao Cao's location.

Cao Jun is getting less and less, and the pressure on Xu Huang's side is getting less and less.

Leaving Cao Cao, this battle, the casualties just now, have value.

The army led by Zhang Xiaoshun is getting closer and closer here.

The confidence in Xu Huang's heart is also getting bigger and bigger.

Xu Huang is worried now that Cao Cao will run first.

The entrance to the snake path is too small, and if you want to pursue, you must kill all the people who stand in front of you.

Xu Huang wanted to lead people through Cao Cao's army, block the entrance to the snake road, and prevent Cao Cao from entering the snake road.

If this is the case, when Zhang Xiaoshun arrives with soldiers and horses, Cao Cao will be unable to fly.

It's just that it's still too difficult to get through Cao Cao's military formation.

So far, Xu Huang has only advanced more than 20 zhang.

It is still twenty zhang away from Cao Cao's position.

And in order to block the entrance of the snake road, Xu Huang still needs to advance thirty zhang away.

And these thirty zhang land is now all Cao Cao's soldiers and horses.

Although this battle is not as tragic as the previous one.

But with every step forward, there are bound to be soldiers falling.

With Xu Huang's purpose, it turned into sealing the entrance to the snake road.

The battle is getting more and more intense.

Cao Cao wanted to stall for time, but there was absolutely no way he could get out of the way of the snake passage.

Originally, Cao Cao's plan was for himself and most of the people to leave first.

Then two thousand men were stationed at the entrance of the snake path, and they only needed to hold it for a day.

One day is enough time for 100,000 people to walk out of the snake road.

But because Xu Huang noticed it in advance, he caught up in time.

Cao Cao could only change his plan slightly.

He himself stayed here.

It was dangerous, but Cao Cao never lacked the courage to venture into danger.

Even Yuan Shao was full of courage when he was in danger.

No matter what flaws his character has.

But they are always able to step up when necessary.

Zhao Hui is also the leader in every battle.

Even though Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others often persuaded him, Zhao Hui was still like this.

He loves the battlefield.

He likes to fight with his soldiers.
