Chapter 432: It's not that there's no way to set fire
Of the 5,000 Cao soldiers led by Cao Ren and Cao Hong, there were only about 1,500 left.
And the Yellow Turban Army led by Xu Huang still has 3,000 people.
After the morale of the Yellow Turban Army soared, the casualty ratio between the two sides finally became a little different.
According to the current casualty ratio, the battle will continue.
After these 1,500 Cao soldiers were also killed, the Yellow Turban Army in Xu Huang's hands would almost have 2,000.
However, at this time, Xiahou Yuan had already brought a thousand Cao soldiers to support.
Xiahou Yuan is also a fierce general in the world.
He joined the battle with a thousand elite Cao soldiers, which had a great impact on the outcome of the battle.
It is completely able to erase the advantages that Xu Huang has just established.
It was enough to make Cao Jun the dominant side again.
But with Zhang Dahe in front, this time the other four Yellow Turban military captains took the initiative to join forces to block Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan's strength is very strong.
But the four Yellow Turban Cadets joined forces and could temporarily hold off for a while.
It's just that in this way, those junior generals in Cao's army will not be taken care of.
The overall battle situation is still very unfavorable for the Yellow Turban Army.
And their reinforcements, the 20,005 Yellow Turban Army led by Wang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaoshun, are still fifteen miles away.
They're already moving at full speed, but it's going to take at least an hour to get here.
But on Xu Huang's side, it is obviously impossible to hold on for an hour.
Half an hour at most, and the battle will be over.
100,000 people will all enter the snake path.
At that time, Cao Cao only needed to send 1,000 people to break the queen, and he could block the 25,000 elite soldiers led by Wang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaoshun.
With Xiahou Yuan joining the battle with pain. The casualties of the Yellow Turbans began to increase again.
The ratio of casualties on both sides again came to one to one.
And it's expanding.
Before, Xu Huang destroyed Cao Jun, and he could still have more than 2,000 people left.
And now after Cao Jun destroyed him, Hai Neng has a thousand people left.
If Cao Cao continues to send people to support.
This battle could end at any moment.
Although Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Xiahou Yuan were all dragged down.
But at that time, the other generals of the Cao army were unattended.
At this moment, it caused a lot of damage to the formation of the Yellow Turban Army.
The only chance to win now is here in Xu Huang.
As long as he can take Cao Ren.
But Cao Ren is also a fierce general.
The strength will not be too much worse than Xu Huang.
If Xu Huang wants to take down Cao Ren, he must have at least sixty or seventy rounds.
But on Xiahou Yuan's side, one person faced four Yellow Turban Military Academy Captains joining forces, and he didn't need sixty rounds.
At most, twenty-three rounds, the four Yellow Turban Military Academy Captains will die in the hands of Xiahou Yuan in turn.
The four lieutenants together are still at a disadvantage.
Xu Huang really wanted to kill Cao Ren.
But even if he tried his best to kill Cao Ren, it was still very difficult.
Cao Ren is brave and resourceful, and his heart is mature. He followed Cao Cao to fight in the south and the north, and had rich experience.
Even though his strength was slightly worse than Xu Huang's, he was not flustered in the face of Xu Huang's attack.
Whether it was before Xiahou Yuan came, or after Xiahou Yuan arrived.
When Cao Ren faced Xu Huang alone, he was always on the defensive.
When Cao Jun was in a weak position, he was not impatient.
Cao Jun is now at the advantage, and he is more stable.
Don't give Xu Huang a chance at all.
Xu Huang didn't know if he could hold on for an hour.
He seemed to be attacking Cao Ren and seemed to be out of control.
But Xu Huang is still very calm in his heart.
While he and Cao Ren were fighting, he had been paying attention to the entire battle situation.
Xu Huang still did not retreat.
He has not yet received news from Wang Xiaohu.
From the beginning, Xu Huang never thought that he would fight his army for these 100,000 people.
Although more than half of the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army have been lost now, they are still within Xu Huang's receiving range.
He's waiting for an opportunity.
5,000 people against 10,000 Cao troops, still have no chance of winning.
But there were 25,000 people behind him.
Xu Huang was waiting for the 25,000 Yellow Turban Army to get closer.
When the time comes, he can pretend to be defeated and lure Cao's army into pursuit.
Then he was cooperating with Wang Xiaohu, and then suddenly killed a horse gun.
Xu Huang was a little pity, although he arrived first with five thousand elite soldiers.
But now being blocked by Cao Jun's army here does not affect Cao Cao to let the people enter the snake road.
The fight here was fierce, but Cao Cao was still inside directing the people to enter the snake road.
Speed is not affected at all.
Xu Huang is now just consuming troops with Cao Cao.
As far as the current combat situation is concerned.
There is no one who wins and who loses.
Not yet.
Both Xu Huang and Cao Cao were unwilling to accept this result.
Xu Huang was because he failed to stop Cao Cao.
Cao Cao is because there are too many casualties among the troops here.
When he returns to Yanzhou, there will be problems.
He only had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and every loss of a thousand was enough for Cao Cao to feel distressed.
Now it is becoming more and more difficult to recruit soldiers.
Even if you bring more than 100,000 people back to Yanzhou, these 100,000 people will basically use them to reclaim the fields.
Cao Cao will not recruit soldiers from these people for a short time.
These people are now being persecuted, and if they are recruited as soldiers, it is not necessarily a good thing. It can cause chaos in the army.
Xu Huang, who was fighting with Cao Ren, finally saw the red flag waving on the top of the mountain in the distance.
Every time the red flag is waved ten times, it stops for a moment and then waves ten times more.
This is to tell Xu Huang that Wang Xiaohu's soldiers and horses are only ten miles away from here.
After a while, the red flag on the mountain was waved only eight times at a time.
Then seven, then six.
Every time it is missing, Wang Xiaohu is one mile closer to here.
Xu Huang frequently looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, which naturally attracted the attention of Cao Ren, who was at war with him.
Cao Ren didn't understand what the red flag waved at the peak of the mountain meant.
But I can guess that I am passing information to Xu Huang, and it is very likely that Xu Huang's reinforcements are coming.
Cao Cao's army, there were Xu Huang's spies along the way.
Xu Huang's soldiers and horses also have Cao Jun's scouts scouting.
Xu Huang's soldiers were divided into three ways, and there were Cao Cao's scouts with each other on all three roads.
Cao Ren and Xu Huang fought each other, and now they can't hear from the scouts.
But Cao Cao had already received it.
There are no more than five people standing side by side.
The numerical superiority is completely useless here.
But if you really want to deal with the people in the snake path, it's not completely impossible.
The best thing to use is fire attack.
Both sides were full of bushes and thorns, and a fire was put down.
The people in the snake path will be smoked to death, if not burned to death.
There's nowhere to run.
But this kind of thing is not something that everyone can do.
Cao Cao naturally dared to do it.
But he didn't know if Xu Huang dared now.
He didn't dare to bet.
Although most of the 100,000 people have entered the snake road at this moment, there are only more than 10,000 people left outside.
But Cao Cao still has to let Cao Hong and Cao Ren block Xu Huang.
Even if Xu Huang's reinforcements are about to arrive.
Cao Cao still has to block here, and try to delay for a while.
Avoid Xu Huang's dog jumping over the wall and setting fire to the mountain.
