Chapter 955: Cao Mengde's goal is difficult to achieve
Xiahoudun's army stopped.
In front of him, Gao Ran had already led a large army to block his way.
Then, the armies of both sides, like two torrents converging together, were tumbling and roaring.
Xiahoudun's army came from afar, and it was the time of exhaustion.
Zhao Hui's army, although it has also been standing under the city for a long time, has been recuperating.
Xiahoudun only saw that Zhao Jun was attacking Guandu, but he didn't know the situation inside, nor did he know Cao Cao's plan.
When Xiahoudun saw the Zhao army attacking the city, his first thought was to come to the rescue.
He attacked the Zhao army from behind, which could relieve the pressure on the Cao army in the city.
For Cao Cao, Xiahoudun is absolutely 100% loyal.
Almost every time Cao Cao needed someone to stay, the first choice was Xiahoudun.
Before attacking Xuzhou, Xiahoudun stayed in Yanzhou.
Now Xiahoudun was originally staying in Xudu, and now he is leading the army to support.
On the city wall, Xun Yu sighed.
Zhang Xiu came at the right time, but the timing of Xiahou Dun's arrival was not good.
Zhang Xiu could cooperate with Zhao Hui to directly attack the city.
However, when Xiahoudun arrived, in the face of hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops outside the city, Xiahoudun had absolutely no possibility of victory.
The Cao army in the city was too weak to cooperate with Xiahoudun and flank the Zhao army.
Now, Xiahoudun can only rely on the 20,000 tired troops in his hands to face the Zhao army.
He had no hope at all.
Xun You couldn't give him support.
He didn't come at the right time, if Xiahoudun could arrive half a day earlier, and now lead an army of 20,000 into the city, it would be more helpful for Cao's army.
Outside the city, Cao's army had no advantage at all, but a disadvantage.
Xiahoudun's army of 20,000 was quickly disabled, and he had to lead people to start retreating.
The 20,000 tired Cao army hardly posed much threat to the Zhao army.
Although Xiahoudun is also a first-class celebrity, although Gao Ran is a little worse than him, the two will not be too different.
The 20,000 troops led by Xiahoudun were only injured by a few thousand Zhao troops in the end, and they were defeated and left.
On the city wall, Xun You couldn't do anything.
The Cao army in the city has now suffered more than 10,000 casualties.
The tiger and leopard riders had already come up, and they teamed up to block Zhao Yun.
But if you want to kill Zhao Yun, these tigers and leopards can't do it.
Even if they blocked Zhao Yun, they only slowed down Zhao Yun's speed of rushing and killing.
They cooperated with each other, so that Zhao Yun could no longer stab a Cao soldier to death with one shot like before.
But even if multiple people join forces, Zhao Yun can kill one person with two or three shots.
The walls were littered with corpses, and the blood of countless corpses flowed out, and then gathered together and flowed down the cracks.
The extension of the city wall, the blood forced out of the cracks in the stone.
Others went down the stairs.
Xu Huang has also climbed the city wall.
Cao Chun blocked him.
However, on the city wall, there is now a third of the Zhao army.
Although Zhao Yun was blocked by the tiger and leopard cavalry, he continued to open up one area after another, allowing more Zhao troops to stand on the city wall.
"Cao Cao still hasn't appeared."
The city wall was filled, and Zhao Hui, Guo Jia and others all searched the crowd with clairvoyance.
Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand!
More than an hour has passed since the battle was launched.
The number of casualties on both sides continues to mount.
The specific number is that Zhao Hui has been watching the battle situation with clairvoyance, and it is difficult to estimate it now.
The number of troops he invested before and after was already 50,000.
Xiahoudun was repulsed, and Gao Ran led a group of soldiers and horses to continue the pursuit.
Now excluding the soldiers who participated in the war, Zhao Hui still has nearly 100,000 people in his hands.
There was a sea of people, black and oppressive, standing under the city wall.
"Military advisor, you really can't hold it, do you want to let the prime minister withdraw first?" In the forbidden road.
Cao Cao never appeared, and Yu Ban didn't want to fight to the death here.
Retreating now is the wisest choice, and half of the people can be saved.
But if it continues, Yu Ban can now see the results as well.
Guandu was breached, and there was not one person in the city.
As a military general, he is ninety percent likely to die in battle.
But if he retreats, he now keeps Cao Cao evacuated, and he has a ninety percent chance of surviving.
But Xun You, who held the tiger talisman, did not agree to the ban.
Cao Cao is now pretending to be sick, and these Cao troops can continue to fight.
But if Cao Cao leaves these soldiers behind now and runs away first, then the remaining Cao army will no longer give Cao Cao his life, and as long as it takes a moment, the rest of the people will surrender.
Moreover, the number of people killed in battle now has not yet reached Cao Cao's standard.
Cao Cao couldn't go.
Even if you stay here, it will be very dangerous, but if you don't achieve your goal, it's useless to persuade anyone.
Cao Cao is a person who listens to the opinions of others.
But that was before he made a decision.
If he had made a decision, no one would have been able to convince him.
Even if there is an abyss in front of him, Cao Cao has to jump over it without stopping.
It is useless for anyone to persuade them.
"Zhao Hui, you should also see it." Xun You looked out of the city, but he didn't have clairvoyance, he could only see Zhao Hui's figure.
He knew that it was Zhao Hui, but what was Zhao Hui's expression now?
Xun You couldn't see it, so he couldn't guess Zhao Hui's thoughts.
It's better to keep going now, and keep fighting without a single person left.
Only in this way can Cao Cao return to Xu Du with peace of mind.
Although he is disabled, it will be difficult for him to recover for several years.
But as long as Zhao Hui's army of more than 100,000 is defeated, it will also become very difficult for Zhao Hui to go south.
Cao Cao had already decided to defeat both Zhao Hui here in Guandu.
Even so, there is a risk that others will take advantage of it.
Maybe drag on for a year, and he can win. But Cao Cao, he didn't want to go any further, he wanted to end this battle as soon as possible.
Cao Ang's death still had a great impact on him.
Even if it was Cao Cao, he needed time to calm down.
Cao Cao can't be indifferent, the most he can do is let himself not lose his mind for the time being.
The city walls have nowhere to put their feet.
Both sides of the battle are already fighting with corpses on their feet.
Whether it is Zhao Jun or Cao Jun, they are still struggling, and they have not flinched.
Even in front of Xun You, there is now a corpse lying on the ground.
On the blood-stained steps, a team of Cao soldiers rushed up with blood.
Xun You's body battle was very straight.
Cao Cao is not there, and he who holds the tiger talisman represents Cao Cao.
However, now on the city wall, the number of the Zhao army has caught up with the Cao army.
Cao Jun no longer had an advantage.
Previously, one Cao soldier could be exchanged for three Zhao soldiers.
But if it continues now, one Cao soldier can only exchange the life of one Zhao Jun.
Xun You said: "Under the city, how many people are there?" ”
"And 30,000 more."
"Is it only 30,000?"
Xun You looked outside the city, there were at least 80,000 Zhao troops.
Even if all the men and horses on both sides on the city wall are spelled out, the remaining men and horses on Cao Jun's side are still too few.
According to the current situation, it is difficult for Cao Cao to achieve his goal.
