Cheng Yu hurriedly ordered a retreat.

They headed in the direction of Yuzhou.

Xu Rong led his troops to run ahead, intending to intercept them by taking a small road.

And Guan Yu chased after him.

And Zhang He first led his troops south.

At this time, 10,000 soldiers and horses from the sea, according to the plan, ambushed, after all, there were still 10,000 Cao troops in the city.

Cheng Yu ran with the army.

They have already set up a lot of obstacles along the way.

Guan Yu quickly chased after him.

However, Guan Yu still continued to pursue.

After a day of pursuit, Guan Yu still did not give up.

And Zhang He also sped up along the way, wanting to bypass from the south.

Xu Rong has also surveyed the terrain a long time ago.

They hurried day and night, and finally ran in front of Cheng Yu and them.

"Cao Jun, where to run."

Xu Rong led a large army and killed from the flank.

Cao Jun was shocked, they didn't expect that Xu Rong was also an infantryman, and he could run ahead of them first.

"General Xiahou, General Cao, this army must be in a hurry day and night to run to our front, you two lead the troops to rush over, don't entangle."

Cheng Yu was very calm and immediately judged the situation.

"Okay."

The two fought in response and led their troops to kill.

Xu Rong commanded the army to kill.

The two armies were immediately attacked and killed together.

Although Xu Rong's army was tired, it was also tough at this time, and its morale was high, and it was fiercely killed.

The two armies were killed together, and Xu Rong commanded superbly.

However, the two generals, Cao Ren and Xiahoudun, were very strong and commanded properly.

Soldiers on the battlefield rushed back and forth.

For a while, it was difficult to distinguish.

Cheng Yu was a little anxious.

It took more than half an hour to kill, and each suffered huge losses.

Xu Rong saw that if the battle continued, both armies would suffer huge losses, so he took the initiative to get out of the way.

Cao's army was able to pass, and Xu Rong finally cut off about 2,000 of their soldiers and horses, besieged and killed them.

Cao Jun fled.

Xu Rong killed more than 7,000 enemies and lost more than 4,000 himself.

Cheng Yu remorseed.

"The army of Youzhou should not be underestimated, and it actually has such tenacious combat effectiveness."

Cheng Yu continued to walk with people.

Soon, there was an army in Yuzhou to respond.

Guan Yu also caught up, Xu Rong asked Guan Yu to continue the pursuit, but he didn't expect a soldier from Yuzhou to ambush Guan Yu.

Originally, Cheng Yu wanted to take the opportunity to kill back, but Xu Rong was not far away, Cheng Yu didn't dare to take the risk, intercepted and killed for a while, and automatically retreated.

Xu Rong also caught up.

"Xu Rong, you go back and help take Langya County, and I will continue to pursue Cao Jun." Guan Yu said to Xu Rong.

"Okay, General Guan, be careful."

Xu Rong walked back.

In other words, the defenders in Langya County City knew that if they continued to stay, they would definitely be besieged and die.

So, he led his troops to break through at night.

And the 20,000 troops in ambush took the opportunity to kill.

The two armies fought ten miles outside the city.

After three hours of fighting, Cao's army left about 4,000 remnants fled.

In this way, Cheng Yu's arrangement was broken.

It's not that Cheng Yu is not powerful, but their judgment was wrong at the beginning.

Xu Rong came over, and a day later, he met Cao Jun who broke through on the road.

So, he led 30,000 men to surround them, and finally Cao's army surrendered.

Four thousand Cao troops surrendered.

"Take them to Langya County, and don't embarrass them."

After disarming, Xu Rong had 5,000 troops escort them back.

"Bring all the weapons and equipment, the lord needs it."

Langya County also took it, which was a big victory.

Xu Rong went with the rest of the army.

All the way to the south.

In Picheng, when Zhang Ming knew that the plan had been completed, he immediately disappeared with 20,000 troops.

Cao Hong has been paying attention to the situation outside the city, and not long after Zhang Ming left, a soldier noticed the abnormality and immediately reported it to Cao Hong.

"Let's go, let's go check it out."

Cao Hong went to the city and observed it very carefully.

It took him nearly an hour to find out.

"Sure enough, Zhang Ming led the elite to leave, leaving these people behind is just a cover-up."

"Immediately send soldiers out of the city quietly to investigate Zhang Ming's whereabouts."

Cao Hong was very careful and sent someone to check.

Two hours later, the first wave of scouts returned and pulled him up to the city with ropes.

Cao Hong has been waiting.

"Report, we have tracked the whereabouts of the enemy troops, they have been marching, and the army is heading north."

Cao Hong waved the scouts down to rest, and then he sent a few more scouts to them.

At this time, Zhang Ming did not besiege the city to death.

Instead, he camped around and monitored only his large army, not the scouts.

Scouts can come and go freely.

Zhang Ming's army did go all the way north, and they were going to encircle Cheng Yu's army.

And Zhang Ming himself was ambushed with five hundred special forces.

The big team goal is too big.

Small teams are well hidden.

An army of 20,000 set off to besiege Cheng Yu together.

Now, Guan Yu, Zhang He, and the three armies that set off from Xiapi City are going to besiege Cheng Yu together.

"Lord, we are hiding here, so will Cao Hong really come out?"

Zhang Ming took Liu Daneng and other special forces to find a place to ambush.

"I don't know, it's best to come out, there's no loss if you can't come out, we don't have much to fight Cheng Yu, and we have a lot less."

Zhang Ming didn't plan to besiege Cheng Yu, there was a large army going, and it didn't have much effect for him to go.

And he is gambling here, betting on whether Cao Hong will send troops to rescue Cheng Yu.

Cao Hong is not easy to deal with, so Zhang Ming's army wants to really go.

If the army stops the ambush, it will definitely be discovered by Cao Hong, and the ambush will not be successful.

Therefore, Zhang Ming could only use a small army.

Cao Hong has been keeping an eye on the army.

"Report to the general, the enemy did not stay and kept advancing."

"Report, general, the enemy army has walked thirty miles, all of them are elite, and they have not been transferred in the middle."

One message after another, Cao Hong did not find a problem.

The purpose of this army is already obvious, that is, to intercept Cheng Yu.

Cao Hong was deeply worried that they were at a disadvantage on the battlefield in Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

In the midst of the disadvantage, if they want to win, they must support.

If Cheng Yu is not supported, it may be difficult to break out under the siege of the army.

Cao Hong wanted support, but he was still very cautious.

At night, Cao Hong had not yet sent troops, and still let the scouts constantly monitor Zhang Ming's army.

Zhang Ming's army is really gone.

One of Cao Hong's generals said: "General, tens of thousands of people outside the city at this time are not elites, if we attack, we will definitely be able to defeat them." ”

Cao Hong shook his head and said: "Their camp is relatively strong, and there are bows and crossbows and other weapons, although they can beat them away, but for the sake of this weak brigade, our strong soldiers will have a lot of casualties, and it is not cost-effective at all." ”

Cao Hong also thought about going out to battle and crushing them, but he carefully assessed that as long as these armies had two thousand bows and crossbows, they might have to suffer five thousand casualties.

It's a completely loss-making business.

"Prepare 10,000 troops, set out at night, and prepare to meet our army."

If something happens to Cheng Yu, with their 20,000 people, they may not be able to defend Xiapi City.

This time Picheng is also strong and can be defended for a long time, but without support, it will be captured in the end.
