Chapter 404: The Outer Battlefield Begins a War

Cao Jun was blinded by the rain of arrows.

Many generals were forced to withdraw.

However, soon the rain of arrows weakened, and this could not sustain the attack.

"Bring your shield and keep attacking."

The shield, which is a hand shield, is tied to the arm of the left hand, and the knife is held in the right hand.

Left arm, when an arrow attacks, you can use the left hand shield to block the attacking arrow.

This greatly reduces damage and can block many arrows.

Of course, if you have too many arrows, or you don't see them, or if you move slowly, you will still be killed.

At least hand shields greatly increase their survivability.

Cao Jun rushed up again.

Zhao Yun is ready.

"Three more rounds of attacks."

Suddenly, there were three more rounds of rapid shooting.

After the attack is completed, it will cause great trouble to the enemy.

At least the formation is out of order at this point.

"All archers, change to long knives and kill me."

As soon as the attack was completed, Zhao Yun rushed out with his army.

At this time, in other places, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, Yan Rou and others also killed together.

The enemy formation was disrupted and suddenly attacked.

The generals led their troops to slaughter them.

After going out, he attacked violently.

Zhao Yun was still fierce, killing several people in a row.

LΓΌ Bu was also beaten, and in this case, he also led his army to retreat while fighting.

When retreating, Zhao Yun rushed to their formation and killed two generals, so angry that Lu Bu's face turned green.

Similarly, in other directions, the generals went out and dealt a great blow to Cao's army, and their losses were not small.

chased and killed all the way, and killed directly outside the camp.

"Mingjin retreats."

Xi Zhicai was afraid that they would chase them all the way, so he hurriedly ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

At this time, the second echelon prepared by Cao Jun was rapidly coming.

Cao Cao and the others had long expected this situation, and were planning to take the opportunity to cover up and kill them, and directly broke the camp of Xi Zhicai.

"I didn't expect this drama to be so difficult to deal with, and I didn't chase it out."

Once they chased them out, Cao Jun would be able to follow and kill together, and the archers on the other side would not have time to react.

This time, Cao Jun suffered a big loss.

"Keep attacking, and our archers will press up."

After a brief rest, although he lost thousands of people, Cao Cao still did not give up the attack.

Attacking again, this time the Cao army not only prepared shields, but also archers attacked on the perimeter.

The two armies are attacking back and forth.

Xi Zhicai: Their side has lost about 10,000 people.

And the Cao army, on the other hand, also lost about 15,000.

The Cao army belonged to the attacking side, and the losses were naturally much greater, but they had so many fierce generals, so the losses were much smaller.

The two armies began a high-intensity offensive.

At this time, on the periphery, Xi Zhicai and their army of 30,000 came over.

Another 20,000 troops are also approaching, and not far away.

Cao Jun was not worried, because all this was expected by them.

Xi Zhicai's 30,000 troops were killed.

The two armies fought in the field.

Cao Jun began to be full of confidence.

But soon after the engagement, the combat strength of this garrison was not as bad as they expected.

The combat power is completely below them.

There were no generals in both armies, and they were all led by junior generals.

And Zhang Ming deliberately cultivated a group of young generals very early.

These youngsters are highly educated, thoughtful, and enthusiastic.

These young generals led the army to kill them.

The defenders of the city, but the name is different, giving people the illusion, in fact, they are less experienced, and they have not been on the battlefield much, but they are not weak in training at all, and their equipment is the same.

This army had known their mission for a long time, and now they risked their lives to fight.

The elite of the Cao army was suppressed and beaten by them.

Suddenly, Cao Jun fell into disadvantage.

This is very scary, because they do not have the advantage of forces.

The generals of the Cao army realized the danger.

But at this time, I can't care about anything else, so I can only resist desperately.

The generals of the Cao army took the initiative to kill out, and both armies were charging and assaulting.

Soon they were at war together.

Slowly, an hour later, the two armies suffered more than 10,000 casualties each.

At this time, the battlefield was very chaotic.

Another 20,000 troops, approaching quickly, came from two directions.

At this time, there were already troops back to report to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was shocked.

"I'm afraid I'll lose this battle." Cao Cao closed his eyes and said sadly.

Several of the strategists were also shocked.

Everything went smoothly and everything went according to their expectations.

However, it was too late to know at this point.

The only thing they didn't expect was that the combat power of these defenders would be so high.

Under the leadership of a group of young generals, they won against Cao Cao and their elite.

At this time, the victory or defeat has not yet been decided, but the other 20,000 troops are about to enter the battlefield, and by the time the other 20,000 troops are killed, their defeat is not far off.

Xun You said: "Lord, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

To make a decision is to cut flesh and to bleed.

Cao Cao didn't make this decision easily.

Once decided, it was the retreat of the whole army.

"Keep attacking, if we can break through the big camp in front of us, we still have a chance to win."

There is no way to retreat, and if he retreats, Cao Cao must give up Jizhou and return to Yanzhou.

Because if he doesn't retreat, he doesn't have enough strength to defend the direction of Xuzhou.

Cao Cao was not willing to be defeated and ordered an even more fierce attack.

Xi Zhicai laughed.

"According to the plan, Cao Cao is defeated this time."

At this time, Cao Cao attacked more violently, and it can be seen that they have realized the danger.

However, Xi Zhicai still maintained his rhythm and supported himself in the second line of defense.

He had time to build a third line of defense, but he didn't.

Cao Jun must be given hope that if there is a third line of defense, Cao Jun may have fled.

The two sides fought a bloody battle in front of the battle, and on the Youzhou side, all the generals fought.

Several generals rushed to the front, covered in blood.

Both sides were red-eyed.

Continue the bloody battle, on the side of Youzhou, the troops are at a disadvantage, but they are on the defensive and can continue to support.

Cao Cao watched from a distance.

"If we can't win the battle within five hours, we will lose this battle."

Cao Cao calculated that the 30,000 troops he sent out would not be able to stop for long, and when they came to support, Cao's army would be at a disadvantage.

Xu You said: "Mengde, we should retreat, if we don't retreat, the loss will be huge." ”

Xu You was afraid of death, and when the Youzhou reinforcements arrived, they might be too late.

However, the defeat of the other Cao armies was assured.

The two armies fought, and the unfavorable news was reported more than an hour after the fighting.

The generals of the Cao army received an order to block this support army, they thought that it would be difficult to destroy them, but it was still easy to block them.

As a result, they are unstoppable, not only unstoppable, but they themselves are also dangerous.

Cao Cao also thought that it would not be difficult to block it, so he did not send a general to it.

The generals were besieging Xi Zhicai's camp, but they didn't expect that this garrison would have such combat power.

At this time, on the outer battlefield, Cao's army fell into a bitter battle.
