"Zilian ......"

Cao Cao sat on the top of the Jueying, his eyes looking at Zhao Yun who was retreating.

For the first time, he regretted choosing to come to Qingzhou.

However, this kind of emotion is also fleeting in Cao Cao's heart.

It is impossible for Cao Cao to let the emotion of regret remain in his heart all the time.

For Cao Hong's death, he regrets and is very heartbroken.

But he still has to keep going.

Cao Cao couldn't be in chaos just because of the death of a Cao Hong.

Although there were tears in his eyes, Cao Cao's heart was still calm, and he was not like Xiahou Yuan Yuban, who couldn't control his emotions.

"Kill!"

The heart hurts, but the battle that should be commanded still has to be commanded.

Zhao Yun began to retreat, but Cao Cao would never let him go easily.

Xiahou Yuan followed behind with a team of men.

The rest of Cao's army also surrounded this cavalry.

Zhao Yun wants to go, but he has to fight his way out.

It's not easy to get in, and it's even harder to get out.

Especially after Zhao Yun killed Cao Hong, whether it was Cao Cao, who was in charge of command, or Xiahou Yuan, who was pursuing, they didn't want to let Zhao Yun go.

Cao Jun's resistance was fiercer than before.

Cao Hong's death did not silence them, but broke out with stronger strength.

If there was no Cao Cao, there would be no generals such as Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren.

If Cao Hong is killed, these Cao armies may collapse.

But with Cao Cao, as long as Cao Cao is still commanding the army, Cao's army will not be defeated.

Unless it was Cao Cao himself who escaped first.

Otherwise, with Cao Cao in charge, Cao's army would definitely not collapse.

Although there are 3,000 cavalry, there are less than 2,000 left at the moment, and there are still people who continue to die in battle.

But with Zhao Yun opening the way in front, even if Cao Jun resisted fiercely, he couldn't stop Zhao Yun's way.

Even Yu Ban Cao Hong joined forces, not to mention Zhao Yun's opponents, let alone these ordinary Cao soldiers.

Unless Zhao Yun was surrounded alone, and then Cao Jun pulled out a circle of shield walls, it was possible to block Zhao Yun.

"Archers prepare."

Seeing that Zhao Yun was about to break out of the encirclement, he rushed out with more than a thousand cavalry.

Cao Cao ordered again.

Cao Cao had never used archers before.

Worried that they would accidentally injure their own soldiers, there are already countless people.

But now, Cao Cao doesn't care.

The people have dispersed.

Cao Jun was also about to be left behind by Zhao Yun.

At this time, using a bow and crossbow, although it will still be injured by mistake, can allow the arrows to cover Zhao Yun's cavalry. The number of accidental injuries is small.

Cao Cao admired Zhao Yun very much, and if he could, Cao Cao really wanted to capture Zhao Yun alive and let Zhao Yun surrender to himself.

But Zhao Yun has now killed Cao Hong.

Cao Cao didn't want to let Zhao Yun go.

If Zhao Yun took the initiative to surrender at this time, for the sake of Zhao Yun's talent, Cao Cao would still not kill him.

For the sake of his own hegemony, even if his son was killed, Cao Cao could generously forgive the enemy.

Not to mention Cao Hong, a clan brother.

Cao Cao's heart ached.

But in the end, he still looks at interests, and the final choice is to choose a plan that is beneficial to him.

It is impossible to really be desperate for Cao Hong.

It is impossible to sacrifice his own interests to avenge Cao Hong.

If Zhao Yun surrendered, Cao Cao would not have killed him.

But Zhao Yun did not surrender, and Cao Cao never wanted to see Zhao Yun return to Zhao Hui's side.

In addition to Cao Hong being killed, many officers under Cao Cao were also killed by Zhao Yun this time.

Under Cao Cao's orders, countless arrows shot towards Zhao Yun's location.

The rain of arrows came from behind, and it was very dense.

Many of the cavalrymen who followed behind Zhao Yun were shot by arrows and fell off their horses.

The rain of arrows fell very suddenly, and the cavalry following behind Zhao Yun was completely unprepared.

Coupled with the dense rain of arrows, it was difficult for them to dodge even if they wanted to.

They had no shields, so they had to use their spears to block.

In the face of the rain of falling arrows, Zhao Yun couldn't help them.

It can only depend on their own luck.

Zhao Yun himself is also dangerous.

After all, the rain of arrows was coming from behind, and it was very dense.

Zhao Yun himself could only lie on the horse's back, trying to reduce the probability of being shot.

The lightning is fast, but not as fast as an arrow shot from a strongbow.

In front of Zhao Yun, there is no Cao Bing anymore, and he is a flat horse.

Behind him, Cao Jun also stopped pursuing.

The dense rain of arrows only lasted for two rounds before it stopped.

Cao Cao had no cavalry in his hands after all.

Now that Zhao Yun has been allowed to rush out, with the infantry, if he continues to pursue Zhao Yun, he will only die more people.

After two rounds of arrow rain, Zhao Yun and the rest of the cavalry had already run away, out of the range of the bow and arrow.

But Zhao Yun only took more than a thousand people.

Two rounds of arrows rained down, shooting nearly a thousand cavalrymen.

If Cao Cao had used a crossbow arrow to shoot earlier.

Zhao Yun really can't really go.

Ten thousand arrows are fired at once, there is no cover, no matter how strong Zhao Yun is, he will be hit by the arrow.

But Yu Ban, Xiahou Yuan, who was chasing Zhao Yun, also had to be shot by the rain of arrows.

There are also thousands of Cao soldiers, all of whom will be buried with them.

Seeing Zhao Yun running away, Cao Cao did not pursue, and immediately began to gather the people who had just dispersed and continued to move forward.

At the same time, let Xiahou Yuan break off and prevent Zhao Yun from going and returning.

In this battle, Zhao Yun's cavalry lost two-thirds.

But on Cao Cao's side, the casualties were also more than 6,000.

There were already few soldiers, and now there are even fewer.

After the 100,000 people were reunited, only 80,000 remained.

Another 20,000, some were killed by mistake, and some have fled.

Cao Hong was killed, plus those soldiers who died in battle.

It is difficult for Cao Cao to say whether he made or lost this time.

He rode on the body of Jueying and personally held Cao Hong's corpse.

When fighting for Yanzhou with Lu Bu, although many generals under Cao Cao were killed, none of them made Cao Cao so heartbroken.

Cao Hong is the highest-ranking and most important one in Cao Cao's heart among the generals who have died in battle over the years.

He was very sad in his heart, but Cao Cao had now collected his feelings.

Riding on the back of the Shadow, his face was heavy.

The speed of the team is faster than before.

Forcing back Zhao Yun's cavalry, Cao Cao also took advantage of this time to return to Yanzhou as quickly as possible.

Zhao Yun really wanted to kill him.

But under the rain of arrows just now, 1,000 cavalry survived, but almost all of them were wounded.

Many people's horses were also shot. Cavalry turned into infantry.

Zhao Yun could only give up this idea.

However, after the delay of this battle, Zhang Wang and Xu Huang also narrowed the distance.

They were now only about twenty miles away from Cao's army.

Xu Huang also took people and crossed the green water.

Originally, if there was no Zhao Yun, Cao Cao only needed to send a few hundred people to stay there to prevent Xu Huang's soldiers and horses from crossing the river.

But because of Zhao Yun's arrival, Cao Cao did not dare to send people to garrison the west bank of Qingshui.

Cao Cao left in a hurry.

But it is difficult for these 80,000 people to keep up.

A lot of people have been left behind.

Cao Cao didn't bother with them anymore.

Take back as much as you can.

Cao Cao no longer had the luxury of bringing all the people back to Yanzhou.

He now has only an army of more than 10,000 in his hands, and he can't control so many people.

Even after these people, whipped with a whip, they could not speed up.

Cao Cao could only give up, these people who were not in good health.
