Zhang Ming chatted with Gao Ran all the way, and slowly approached the battlefield.

Advancing quickly all the way, Zhang Ming and the others finally arrived at the battlefield.

In the field, Zhang Ming and the others set up camp.

More than 20 miles away on the opposite side is the military camp of the Cao army.

The two sides were separated by a river, which was not deep enough for the army to force its way across.

Cao Jun's spies appeared around.

After Zhang Ming and the others set up camp, they also sent a lot of spies.

Zhang Ming now has a thousand special forces, and he has brought five hundred.

"General Gao, our forwards have done a good job, and the Cao army has not set up an ambush along the way." After setting up camp, Zhang Ming called Gao Ran to speak.

Gao Ran was very careful along the way, because he was also ordered to watch Zhang Ming, lest Zhang Ming and Cao Cao join forces to trap them.

"The protector general has worked hard all the way."

The two chatted for a while, discussing how to keep vigil, and then Gao Ran separated.

Although camped together, both sides also had their own turf and defended separately.

After all, it is better to distinguish between the two armies, so as not to cause major problems when the enemy attacks.

After Gao Ran left, Zhang Ming called Guan Zhang Zhao.

"Three younger brothers, although we sent troops in this battle, we didn't want to fight much, or we couldn't defeat Cao Cao."

"When you go out to fight, you have to really do it, you can't keep your hands, but don't chase it."

Guan Zhang and Zhao both nodded in understanding.

"Zilong, the initiative on the battlefield is still in our own hands, you take the special forces and scout everything."

"Yes, big brother."

Zhang Ming began to arrange, and Zhao Yun sent people to cross the river to investigate at night.

On Cao Cao's side, 80,000 troops were mobilized to fight at this time, which was already the most soldiers and horses he could mobilize.

During the day the next day, the big battle would not start so early, Zhang Ming went to the river to catch fish and roast it by the river.

Gao Ran kept track of Zhang Ming's movements and sent someone to pass the news to Yuan Shao.

Two days later, the scouts came to report that Cao Cao personally led the army and stationed in the camp.

"It's finally here, this Yuan Shao is almost here."

Yuan Shao's army still has two days to go, and a large amount of military rations will arrive in these two days.

Yuan Shao was followed by Guo Tu, Xu Yu and other strategists.

Yuan Shao led an army of more than 100,000 troops, and there were many more behind him, and the current army was already twice the size of Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao entered the camp, he began to understand the military situation.

"My lord, the enemy is strong, we can only hold on." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao looked at the civil and military forces below, his face solemn.

Cao Cao said: "This battle is a matter of life and death, the enemy army is strong, but as long as we can withstand it, the enemy's expedition will cost a lot, and we will definitely retreat." ”

Mobilize an army of nearly 200,000 people, and the cost required can be small.

In the end, the generals all said that they would advance and retreat with Cao Cao.

After another two days, the situation gradually became clearer.

Yuan Shao's army had already arrived, and three large battalions had been set up.

Zhang Ming's camp was the forward battalion, and Cao Cao sent another 5,000 troops.

In this way, Zhang Ming and Gao Ran are both 15,000 troops.

Yuan Shao's Chinese army camp was set up more than 20 miles away from the rear.

The enemy of the grain storage was in a valley dozens of miles behind.

Yuan Shao has many generals, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops.

The two armies confronted each other from afar.

Yuan Shao called Zhang Ming to discuss the matter.

"General Protector, this time we jointly sent troops in order to attack Cao Cao, and tomorrow we will send troops together to explore the camp of Cao's army."

"Okay, the general will definitely be able to win this expedition."

"Hahahaha, good, good."

Yuan Shao was very proud, stroking his beard and smiling.

The next day, Zhang Ming crossed the river first, and then Gao Ran also led people to cross.

After they crossed the river, they waited there, and at noon Yuan Shao's 50,000 Chinese troops also crossed the river together, and then left for Cao's camp.

The army was mighty.

Cao Cao personally defended outside the camp.

"Here we are."

In the Cao army camp, Cao Cao built a high platform in the barracks, so that you can see the situation in the distance.

Cao Cao saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance.

The enemy came, and Cao Cao led the generals to the gate of the barracks and waited.

When the army arrived, Yuan Shao and they stopped a mile away.

Then Yuan Shao sent a soldier.

"Cao Cao, my lord orders you to cede twenty cities."

Sending a small soldier is to bring Cao Cao to his knees.

Cao Cao was angry and was bullied.

Cheng Yu said: "Lord, if you cede the city without a fight, the morale of our army will be demoralized, and Yuan Shao will ask for more later." ”

Originally, Cao Cao was moved, and it would be good if twenty cities could be exchanged for Yuan Shao's retreat.

But no.

Cao Cao must fight.

Cao Cao listened to Cheng Yu's words and sternly refused.

Yuan Shao listened to the report and was not angry.

"Hahaha, Cao Apu, then I'll pick it up myself."

Yuan Shao didn't plan to fight, he was afraid that Zhang Ming would make trouble, and when the time came, Zhang Ming would send someone to fight, which would steal his limelight.

So Yuan Shao ordered an attack.

An army of 50,000 killed the Cao army camp under the command of several generals.

The remaining 30,000 were Zhang Ming's 15,000 troops to defend Cao's army.

An army of 50,000 was killed in several ways.

The morale of the Yuan army was high, and they came to kill in several ways.

Suddenly, the iron flow was rolling, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Several generals of the Yuan army stormed Cao's camp.

Both sides are desperate.

The battle lasted for an hour, and the two sides won and lost each other.

The Cao army camp was quite strong, and many of the generals of the Cao army personally charged into battle.

"General Protector, it's your turn to fight."

Yuan Shao asked Zhang Ming to fight, but he didn't let him play in the first battle, and now it is a stalemate, he let Zhang Ming fight.

In this commanding tone, although Zhang Ming didn't like it, he wouldn't mess with Yuan Shao at this time.

Zhang Mingqin led an army of 15,000 and killed him in the direction of the West Gate.

Cao Cao reserved soldiers and horses, but not many.

"Tiger idiot, you must guard the gate, otherwise everything will be over."

Cao Cao attached great importance to Zhang Ming, reserved an army of 10,000, and then asked Xu Chu to kill another general.

Xu Chu clenched his fists and left.

Zhang Ming killed, attacked all the way with a strong crossbow, rushed open a road, and finally encountered a strong resistance at the gate of Cao's army camp.

Xu Chu personally came out and pushed Zhang Ming and their forwards back.

Yuan Shao has been paying attention to the situation on Zhang Ming's side, he didn't expect Zhang Ming to work so hard.

Xu Chu killed, Zhang Ming did not rush to attack, but asked, "Who is coming?" ”

"In Xia Xu Chu, with me here, don't want to win."

Xu Chu, such a general.

Zhang Ming was immediately overjoyed.

"Xu Chu, dare to fight outside this barracks, if you win, we will only be outside the camp today."

"Why don't you dare?"

Xu Chu came out, Xu Chu's big knife was very big, a machete, and the soldiers usually waved it without moving.

"I won't bully you, so I'll send my third brother Zhang Fei to fight you."

Zhang Fei was overjoyed and went up to the battle.

The two fought at the gate of the camp.

"Eat your grandfather Zhang's trick."

Zhang Fei went up and used a big move, and Xu Chu's eyes were like copper bells, staring at the machete with both eyes and killing him.
