The explosions continued.

A group of Cao-Liu coalition troops who came to support Guan Zhang and Xu Chu were all wiped out halfway.

However, as the news spread, the Cao-Liu coalition became a lot more cautious.

It is not so easy for them to throw clay pots as unscrupulously as before.

Cao's archers began to look for their location, and as soon as they found them, a rain of arrows covered the roof.

But looking at their small number and scattered, one in the east and one in the west, it was not so easy for Cao Jun to kill them.

Throwing out a clay pot from time to time can scare off a large number of people.

In addition, Zhang Wang had already touched Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind them.

Let the last few clay pots be thrown down and explode in the central area of the Cao-Liu coalition army.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and the soldiers and horses under their command were suddenly in chaos.

Even though both of them are fierce generals and famous generals, but under the explosion of the clay pot, they can't command the chaotic soldiers and horses at all.

The Cao Liu coalition army, which could have been able to confront Zhao Yundianwei, was defeated and retreated under the interference of Zhang Wang.

"Cao Gong, defeated."

Cheng Yu was discouraged.

His confidence was already gone when he was in Yanzhou.

"Cao Gong, let's go." Xun Yu is also persuading.

Xinye can't hold it.

I thought that I would be able to hold on to the street battle with Zhao Jun, and I would be able to kill Zhao Jun back.

But now, the explosions in the city are still there, and the army is in complete disarray.

is Guan Zhang Xu Chu, who can stop Zhao Yundianwei.

But the ordinary soldiers below have no intention of fighting.

In the city, 150,000 Cao Liu coalition troops, plus hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass, thought that they could block the Zhao army for half a year.

However, it was really only a few days before Xinye Castle was breached.

Compared with the time when Guandu was in the beginning, he was defeated faster.

The number of Zhao troops attacking did not change much, while Cao Cao had more soldiers defending the city.

But the speed of defeat is even faster.

Even Cao Cao is now feeling disheartened.

They are improving, but Zhao Hui's strength is improving faster than them.

Zhao Hui is getting stronger and stronger.

And the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger.

In the more than a year since he came to Xinye, Cao Cao has given many things to Cao Pi.

He himself thinks about how to deal with Zhao Hui every day, but there is no way.

Although he was discouraged, since Xinye couldn't hold it, Cao Cao still didn't think about coexisting and dying with Xinye.

Or withdraw.

Xinye can't hold it, he can go to Xiangyang and fight against the Zhao army with Liu Bei.

Cao Cao retreated.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Chu and other generals also withdrew from Xinye with stragglers.

Although Zhang Fei was very unwilling, the army was already in chaos, and he was powerless to return to the sky.

Zhao Yundianwei did not pursue.

After entering Xinye, he began to trim and wait for Zhao Hui's follow-up army.

Cao Cao didn't expect that Zhao Hui would only support a hundred catapults, and Xinye City would be breached.

Many materials in the city did not have time to be transferred, and the grain and grass of 500,000 stones were all left to Zhao Hui.

With these grains and grasses, Zhao Hui no longer needed to transport grain and grass from Yuzhou to the front line in a short period of time.

He was waiting in Nanyang, just to see how much supplies Cao Cao would leave him.

After Zhao Yun and their news of the breakthrough of Xinye was transmitted back to Nanyang, Zhao Hui led the army to set off from Nanyang.

After Cao Cao arrived in Xiangyang, he discussed with Liu Bei for a long time.

But he still didn't come up with a way, there was no way at all, he could resist the attack of the Zhao army.

"Strategist, do you have a plan?" Listening to Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, they told the situation of the first battle of Xinye in detail, and the little confidence that Liu Bei had accumulated some time ago has now been shaken again.

Zhao Huidu has not yet arrived in person, but Zhao Yundianwei's vanguard has broken through the Xinye guarded by Cao Cao in just a few days.

Liu Bei looked at Pang Tong and pinned all his hopes on Pang Tong.

If Pang Tong had no way to deal with Zhao Hui's fire pot, then he would have to give up Jingzhou.

However, there is no way to deal with Zhao Hui one day, even if he gives up Jingzhou and retreats to the ends of the earth, he will be caught up by Zhao Hui one day.

Even if he followed Pang Tong's previous plan, he gave up Jingzhou and entered Yizhou.

But even if he went to Yizhou, he avoided Zhao Hui this year.

But at Zhao Hui's current speed, he will attack Yizhou next year.

Even though Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, he can't hold it.

Unless, he can also have the fire pot in Zhao Hui's hand.

However, although he sent countless spies, every time he received the news, those spies were damaged again, but he did not hear the slightest news about the clay pot.

Pang Tong said: "The other party has this siege weapon, and it can't be defended, if we want to win, we need to take the initiative to attack." ”

Any defense, in the face of gunpowder, is vulnerable.

Now Zhao Hui has the sharpest spear in his hand, but Liu Bei Cao Cao has the hardest shield in his hand.

If you keep thinking about defense, you will only fail.

On the contrary, Pang Tong said that if you want to take the initiative, there may be a glimmer of life.

Cao Cao said: "For today's plan, it can only be like this." ”

Even if you take the initiative to attack, the probability of winning is low, but there is still hope after all.

At the same time, Sun Ce of Jiangdong, after receiving the news of Cao Cao's defeat and escape, was also discussing with Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and others.

"Bo Fu, we can't wait any longer." Zhou Yu is still the main battle.

"Fifteen people of Xinye Cao Cao were defeated in an instant. is waiting, there is really no one who can control Zhao Hui. ”

After receiving Xinye's news, Zhou Yu and Pang Tong had the same idea, and if they wanted to deal with Zhao Hui, they must take the initiative now.

Even if Yangzhou is blocked by the Yangtze River, when Jingzhou is occupied by Zhao Hui, Yangzhou will definitely not be spared.

"Gong Jin, even if we unite with Liu Bei now, do we really have a chance of winning?" Sun Ce said.

If there is no Zhao Hui, in this world, Sun Ce is not afraid of anyone, and he dares to fight.

But there was a Zhao Hui, which made Sun Ce very powerless.

He really can't help it.

"At least a 30% chance of winning." Zhou Yu said.

"If we don't join forces with Liu Bei and Cao Cao, then there is really no chance of winning, and in a month, Yangzhou will completely fall into the hands of Zhao Hui."

"Yangzhou, it wasn't mine originally." Sun Ce said.

Although, his father was born in Yangzhou.

However, they were also courtiers of the Han family.

"Bo Fu, are you really willing to give up this piece of foundation that you have worked so hard to give to others?" Zhou Yu said.

"If you are really afraid of Zhao Hui, I will lead an army of 100,000 to Jingzhou."

Zhou Yu was unwilling.

Yangzhou was jointly won by him and Sun Ce. He won't give it to anyone.

Even if Sun Ce really wanted to surrender to Zhao Hui, he would have to resist.

"Gongjin, why are you doing this?"

The two are like brothers, Sun Ce can occupy Yangzhou, and Zhou Yu has contributed the most.

Looking at Zhou Yu's resolute gaze, Sun Ce still loosened.

He is known as the little overlord, he is the Jiangdong Tiger, and he wants to gallop the field and dominate the world.

"Okay, since Gongjin wants to fight, then fight."
