Chapter 406: Results
Cao Cao's heart went through a fierce struggle.
He assessed it himself.
This battle is definitely lost.
Now it's time to deal with the follow-up.
"Withdraw, let the evil come and break off with the tiger."
Cao Cao left more than 10,000 people behind the two of them to block Zhang Fei and them, while they retreated directly.
"Kill, you can't let Cao Jun escape."
Zhang Fei became murderous, ran to the front, and fought with the generals of the Cao army.
Zhao Yun also went up and blocked Dian Wei.
So, Xu Chu vs. Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun vs. Dian Wei.
Yan Rou and Gao Ran continued to attack with a large army.
The two armies fought frantically, and although the Youzhou army had fewer troops, it was not cowardly at all, and the killing was more fierce.
Charge, charge, keep charge.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu were under great pressure, and they had no way to take Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.
The four of them were fighting there, and the soldiers around them were too far away to get close.
"Cao Cao ran away with someone."
Gao Ran shouted while killing.
Cao Jun also saw that Cao Cao left first with some of his people.
Morale inevitably suffers.
The two armies are desperate, and the number of armies is getting smaller and smaller.
After fighting for a while, there were less than 3,000 people on the Youzhou side.
And Cao's army also left behind a large number of soldiers and horses.
"Retreat, retreat."
After Cao Cao and the others had walked for a while, he asked the soldiers to come back and ordered Dian Wei and Xu Chu to retreat.
The two are Cao Cao's favorite generals, and Cao Cao can't afford to lose.
The two also wanted to retreat, but they were entangled by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and it was not so easy to retreat.
The four of them fought for more than two hundred rounds.
Each is already tired.
Eventually, they found an opportunity to withdraw.
The two hurriedly ran, and the rear was pursued by a small number of people.
They still had seven or eight thousand men, but were now being pursued by less than three thousand.
This was indeed the case, and Cao's army was pursued and killed by less than several times the number of troops.
At this time, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei didn't have any scruples, they just chased and killed.
Hunt down for a while.
Suddenly, an army came in front of them.
At this time, reinforcements from Youzhou arrived.
Xi Zhicai was in the distance, clapped his hands and said: "Great, two generals, if you can catch one, you will make a lot of money." ”
Reinforcements arrived in a timely manner.
The army was killed, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei were suddenly surrounded in the middle.
"Tiger idiot, let's rush out."
"Okay, let's get out together."
No matter how many soldiers and horses there are in front of them, they just want to kill them.
The cooperation between the two was indeed powerful, and they were immediately killed by them to open a passage.
However, the two of them didn't have long to fight, and they fought with Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei for more than two hundred rounds, and they didn't have much combat power.
Rushing out a little, the attack power weakened, and he was trapped by the Youzhou army that surrounded him.
In the rear, Zhao Yun and others came again.
"Hugh left, Dian Wei and Xu Chu."
Zhang Fei's loud voice shouted again.
Suddenly, the battlefield was bustling.
"Kill, kill, kill."
"Tiger idiot, I'll cover you, otherwise none of us will be able to leave."
Dian Wei rushed frantically, however, it became more and more difficult to break through.
With the cooperation of the two, they still killed it little by little.
However, half of this is the strategy of the Youzhou army.
Let them pass in front, and the soldiers in the rear will be partially intercepted.
Slowly, their army will become smaller and smaller.
Fighting in this way can minimize casualties.
Squeeze them together, and their combat power is even higher.
Let them pass a little, cut off part of their forces, they will only get less and less, and in the end there will be no impact.
Cao Jun was divided little by little.
At this time, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei rushed up to kill them, not letting them run away.
Cao Jun was killed less and less.
When Xu Chu and Dian Wei went out, there were only more than 1,000 people around him.
"Tiger idiot, you go quickly, I'll stop them."
"Let's go together."
Xu Chu knew that it would be difficult for them to get out.
"No, none of us can leave, and it's not the first time I've been a prisoner of Zhang Ming, and the Lord Guild will rescue me."
Dian Wei insisted on letting Xu Chu go.
"Hurry up, it's too late if you don't leave."
It was indeed about to be too late, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun chased after them.
"Let's go."
Xu Chu had no choice but to run away with a few hundred people.
But Dian Wei turned around and led his troops to stop Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.
"Dian Wei, you better surrender, you can't escape."
"If you do not pursue, I will surrender."
Pursuit, not only Xu Chu, but also Cao Cao.
Cao Cao and the others ran about half an hour in advance.
At this time, if you pursue with all your might, it is still possible to catch up.
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun couldn't decide, and at this time Xi Zhi came up.
"Okay, I promise, if you surrender, we won't pursue." Xi Zhicai gave them a promise.
This Dian Wei simply ordered surrender, and he himself surrendered.
In fact, if Dian Wei didn't surrender, he wouldn't be able to hold out for long, and it was estimated that they would be wiped out within ten minutes.
Even, with a salvo from the other side, it was difficult for them to resist.
But in that case, Dian Wei was killed in battle.
And if he surrenders, the other side does not pursue, it is possible to buy time.
Sure enough, Dian Wei was right, and Xi Zhicai really didn't pursue.
There are other considerations for Xi Zhicai not to pursue, there are not many soldiers and horses left on both sides, and a little fire must be preserved.
Of their 30,000 elites, there are now more than 2,000 left.
The original 100,000 people, that is, more than 2,000 people remain, of course, there are thousands of wounded soldiers who have been sent to the rear, and it is estimated that more than 3,000 people can come back.
In this battle, the 100,000-strong army lost more than 90,000 troops, and it was broken.
This Cao Cao is not much better, a total of about 170,000 troops were invested, and only about 20,000 can go back in the end.
Cao Cao was on the attacking side, and the losses were naturally greater, and the last 30,000 people were surrounded, which was a huge loss.
"Retreat, leaving 10,000 people to camp here and clean up the battlefield, and the rest retreat to the nearby county town to repair."
Xi Zhicai ordered that there were only more than 2,000 prisoners this time.
Xu Chu caught up with Cao Cao, and then knelt on the ground and cried and said, "Lord, your subordinates should die, your subordinates are guilty." ”
Seeing Xu Chu coming back alone, Cao Cao cried.
This shows that Dian Wei can't come back.
"Tiger idiot, what is your sin, the sin is mine."
"What the hell is going on?"
Cao Cao still asked, although he had already guessed the result in his heart.
"Evil came to cover me, let me come back first, he took hundreds of people to break the queen, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead."
After Xu Chu finished speaking, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and cried.
"Repent, an army of 100,000 people, it is better to have one person who is evil, and you should exchange my head for evil."
Cao Cao is really sad, and at the same time he has to make a show.
"Lord, please give the order to go back first, we can avenge the evil sooner or later." Xun You is very suitable to come out and give Cao Cao a step down.
"Let's go, this revenge will be avenged sooner or later."
Cao Cao didn't know that this Dian Wei was not dead.
Cao Cao led the remnants of his army to retreat.
In this battle, both sides were wounded, and each lost more than 100,000 troops.
The strength of both sides was hit hard all of a sudden.
They dare to fight so hard because there is no enemy around them who can threaten them.
Despite the loss of more than 100,000 troops each, both sides were still the largest princes, and no one could threaten them.
