Cheng Yu's expected collapse did not come.

On the contrary, they weakened.

Because, the miscellaneous soldiers are numerous, and the Cao army is cut off, but locally, the troops are in a weak position.

"How so?"

At this time, Cheng Yu had no way to withdraw the army.

The middle was truncated by Gao Shun, and once he retreated, it would cause a collapse.

Keep playing.

The army on Zhang Ming's side has maintained its combat power.

"Why is this happening?"

Cheng Yu watched from a distance, he could only see a rough idea, he couldn't see the specific situation clearly, and he could only judge the situation of the two armies from the general situation.

On the battlefield, the army on the Gao Shun side, those miscellaneous soldiers did not have a unified command, so they rushed forward with the captain who had trained them for a long time.

To rush up is to kill, there are not so many rules.

One team was wiped out, and the team behind continued to rush forward.

The two armies continued to fight.

The respective losses continued to expand.

The miscellaneous soldiers didn't understand the big picture, so they just rushed forward to kill.

Follow the captain and kill it.

Because they are all under the micro command, they are not affected by the overall situation.

Many people were killed here, and there was joy in the killing.

One of the teams was killed, and a veteran soldier in the back rushed up with men, and the soldiers still followed with a scream.

These veterans were trained on a regular basis and were very authoritative among them.

Kill them together, and cut them down.

At this time, in fact, if there were two Cao generals who led the army to rush up and defeat them, it would also form a rout.

However, no.

Cao's army was divided into two halves, and the assault capability was not enough, and they still had to surround Gaoshun.

"Rush up."

"That's it."

"Kill me, kill."

"Cao Jun is nothing more than that."

The veterans, with the new ones, are charging all the time.

In the distance, Cheng Yu seemed that Cao Jun weakened after rushing and killing for a while, and then the two armies held each other.

By now, it was already the army of Gao Shun's side that was charging.

Cao's army still had an advantage, and the miscellaneous soldiers on Gao Shun's side rushed up and were destroyed.

As soon as it was destroyed, an army rushed up from behind.

"I'm afraid I'll lose this battle." Cheng Yu could see it clearly from a distance.

Now, the casualties on Gao Shun's side are even greater.

However, Cao's casualties were also rising rapidly.

In the end, the casualties of both armies will be enormous.

And Cao's army is the elite of the elite, but two-thirds of the army on the Gao Shun side is miscellaneous soldiers.

The two armies continued to fight, the two sides kept fighting, and the soldiers kept falling.

At this time, Cheng Yu could predict that once he ordered a retreat, the enemy would all press up, and Gao Shun would stop them in the middle, and the whole army would inevitably collapse.

You can't retreat, you can't fight, and in the end there won't be many people left on both sides.

However, Cheng Yu can only accept such a result.

"This Zhang Ming is really clever, and it will be difficult to take advantage of it in the future."

Cheng Yu had already expected the result, which was the most painful.

I know the outcome won't be good, but there's nothing I can do to change it.

As Cheng Yu expected, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

The armies of the two armies are constantly decreasing.

Gao Shun's side gradually wiped out the armies that had killed on both sides.

After that, he began to support Gao Shun.

Cao's army was slowly retreating, and had already withdrawn part of the army surrounding Gaoshun.

Gradually, it changed from full encirclement to semi-encirclement.

After that, the two armies became in a state of confrontation again, and the two armies began to fight evenly with each other.

Cheng Yu took a look, and there were less than 10,000 people left on both sides.

"It's time to withdraw, it's really a fiasco."

"Order, Cao Ren and Xiahoudun two generals retreat."

At this point it was possible to retreat, both armies were exhausted, and the enemy was not able to pursue.

Cao Ren and Xiahoudun slowly retreated with their troops.

Gao Shun did not pursue.

Cao's army retreated, and the losses on both sides were about the same.

Gao Shun's own soldiers and horses are now left with more than 2,000 trapped camps, and the rest of the elites are dead.

In the end, more than 7,000 people remained in the whole army.

And the Cao army is not having a good time, the army of 30,000 and 2, in the end, there are more than 8,000 people left.

Heavy losses.

A bitter decisive battle.

After retreating for thirty miles, Cheng Yu knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"I'm ashamed of my lord."

"After this battle, we fell into a strategic disadvantage across the board."

After this battle, Xiapi City will definitely not be able to be saved, and Zhang Ming will have a rich Xuzhou.

The most important thing is that Zhang Ming has seriously threatened Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

"Strategist, hurry up, we also have a lot of responsibility in this battle, the troops occupy such a big advantage, but we can't beat Gao Shun."

Cao Ren helped Cheng Yu up and said.

Xiahoudun was also annoyed.

The biggest key to this battle is Gao Shun's trapped camp.

Gao Shun can be firmly nailed there, so that they can't advance or retreat.

They have two errors.

First, he thought that there would be no threat if Gao Shun was surrounded.

Second, I didn't expect those miscellaneous soldiers to have such strong combat effectiveness under specific conditions.

These two errors of judgment led to their defeat.

The defeat was miserable.

On the surface, it is a defeat for both sides, but it is a huge failure to exchange elites for miscellaneous soldiers.

"Strategist, Zhang Ming's army is gathered here, let's hurry back to Xudu to regroup our troops and horses and block their army."

Cao Ren calmed down and said to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu stopped crying and said, "Okay, let the soldiers have a good meal and rest for an hour." ”

Cheng Yu hurriedly wrote a few letters and sent them out.

He wanted to make all parts of Yanzhou ready, and he also had to inform Cao Cao of the fact of the defeat.

After Cheng Yu and the others left, Gao Shun also retreated.

Retreat with the remnants of the army.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Ming personally went out of the camp for more than ten miles to greet Gao Shun.

"Gao Shun, you have made a great contribution."

"Thank you, Lord."

Together, the two brought the army back, and then asked Gao Shun for details.

Zhang Ming dared to make such an arrangement, because he trusted Gao Shun and believed that his trapped camp could block the enemy's onslaught and achieve his goal.

Gao Shun naturally did not disappoint Zhang Ming.

He won.

Gao Shun did not disappoint Zhang Ming either.

The trapped camp is still so strong, let Cao Jun attack wildly, he can play the role of fixing the sea god needle.

Take Gao Shun back.

Zhang Ming called a few generals.

"Immediately organize the army to prepare for the attack, when to prepare, when to attack, Xia Picheng, it can already be taken."

Xiapi City, at this time there were only more than 6,000 troops in it.

It won't stop them for long.

Before, Zhang Ming didn't use all his strength to attack, but now he can take it down.

Xu Rong, Zhang He and Guan Yu each went to receive their orders.

Half an hour after the early hours of the morning, the soldiers began to eat.

It took half an hour to eat and rest, and then began to attack.

At night, many Cao soldiers fell asleep leaning on the city wall tiredly.

They were tired, their army was so small that they had to fight almost all of them during the day.

Only half of the people get a break at night.

They are too tired.

Zhang Ming ordered an attack, and the whole army attacked.

Cao Jun naturally had to fight.

Suddenly, the resting Cao army also rushed to the head of the city.

The two armies fought fiercely.

Hit until dawn.

Zhang Ming ordered a halt to the offensive.

"Cheng Yu's tens of thousands of troops have been repulsed by our side, and there are no reinforcements in Xiapi City, open the door and surrender."

Zhang Ming began to persuade him to surrender.
