Chapter 588: The Battle of Destroying Cao (50)
"Prime Minister, not only Yuan Xi, but also Pang De. Take a look. Xu You pointed in the direction of the right camp. There were countless cavalry, rushing towards the Chinese army.
"And over there..." Cao Hong pointed to the left camp.
"Retreat!"
Cao Cao didn't say a word, turned over a horse, and ran towards the north. The surrounding civil and military forces all evacuated with him.
Woo woo...
Cao Hong sounded the clarion call for the withdrawal of troops.
Let people carry Cao Cao's banner and also retreat to the north.
The war went very well.
Pound's army entered the camp and won. What followed was an endless pursuit, from Wancheng to the Nanyang border, and then to Yuzhou, Cao Cao, who had been chasing.
.............
After many difficulties and dangers, Cao Cao still escaped.
He returned to Pingxing County, Runan County, and joined Liu Bei.
Both of them experienced life and death, lost 200,000 soldiers and horses, and had a new perspective on the battle situation.
Before, they had absolute confidence to fight Yuan Xi.
Thinking about how with 400,000 elite divisions, they can also win.
But that's no longer the case.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei did not dare to mention the decisive battle again.
"Xuande, what do you think we should do next?" Cao Cao asked.
"What else can I do, retreat to the gate, and wait for changes. Don't you think so? Liu Bei held a map, and his eyes were fixed on the line of Nanyang and Hanzhong.
Obviously, Liu Bei was already thinking about retreating.
"Xuande, are you really willing to go back to Guanzhong with me and defend against Yuan Xi together?" Cao Cao asked.
Liu Bei raised his head and said: "Nanyang is controlled by Pang De, and there is Ganning's navy on the Neijiang River. Hanzhong was also conquered by Jiang Wei. I can't go back to Yizhou now... Cao Mengde, if you still doubt my sincerity, is it still necessary for us to cooperate? ”
"Hahaha..." Cao Cao smiled: "Where, I believe Xuande is really helping me." ”
Liu Bei put away the map and said, "Don't talk nonsense, we only have two ways to go now." The first is a decisive battle with Yuan Xi's main force. The second is to return to Nanyang and go around to Wuguan. ”
Sima Yi came out and said: "What Uncle Huang said is extremely right. At present, Yuan Xi's main force is in Yuyuan Pass, if we go to Guanzhong from there, will it be very big. If discovered, it will put the army in danger. And returning to Nanyang and going to Wuguan is not so dangerous. Because the prime minister and the emperor's uncle had just been defeated in Nanyang, Yuan Xi and Pang De never imagined that we would go back. In addition, our defeated soldiers are scattered everywhere, and the return of our army will definitely be able to gather a large number of soldiers and strengthen the strength of our army. ”
Cao Cao said: "In this case, let's go back to Nanyang." ”
............
Cao Cao and Liu Bei agreed.
That night.
They led all the troops in Pingxing County and marched in the direction of Wancheng at night.
Yuan Xi and Pang De are still in Wancheng.
As Sima Yi expected, they did not expect that Cao Cao and Liu Bei would lead all their armies and return to Wancheng after the defeat.
I didn't expect that Cao Liu's march would be so fast.
In just one night, I traveled one hundred and fifty miles!
It's almost as fast as the cavalry.
After arriving in Wancheng.
It was noon the next day.
They did not attack the city.
After Sima Yi broke off with an army of 10,000, he stopped the pursuit of the Northern Cavalry. Cao Liu led the army straight to Wuguan.
"Lord, Sima Yi is here, Cao Liu must also be there, they want to go to Wuguan..." Pound quickly understood what was going on.
Yuan Xi said: "You are right, Cao Cao and Liu Bei suffered heavy losses, they don't plan to fight me, they want to defend Guanzhong." And there is the main force of our army in Yuyuan Pass, and if they want to go to Guanzhong, they can only go to Wuguan. ”
"General Pound, how many soldiers and horses do you still have, can you pursue them?"
"This..."
Pang De said embarrassedly: "My lord, there are only more than 10,000 left in the Northern Cavalry Army under the command of the last general, and Cao Liu has an army of 200,000. If they catch up, they will not be able to defeat them. ”
"Yes, the number of troops is a little small." Yuan Xi took out the map and looked at it: "Ma Chao and Pang De should be here soon." If Cao Liu enters Wuguan later, we may be able to catch up. ”
At this time, Pang De said: "My lord, if you just delay the time, wait for General Zhangjaw and them to come, the last general will still be able to do it." It's better to let the last general pursue Cao Liu and find a way to delay for a day. ”
"Will it work?"
"The last general will definitely do his best!"
Yuan Xi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, you can go." Be careful in everything, if you encounter Cao Liu's army, you don't have to fight with it, just wait for Ma Chao and Zhang Jaw to arrive. ”
"The last will obey."
Pound was ordered to move his troops.
Half an hour later, the army went out from the south gate, preparing to pursue Cao Liu.
However, he didn't run far before he encountered Sima Yi's 10,000 horses. He was in an open place, setting up a formation. cut off the official road and hindered Pound's Northern Cavalry.
Rattle...
As soon as Sima Yi set up his formation, he looked up and saw the Wind God Pterodactyl and swooped down.
Boom Boom Boom !!
With his iron wings, the Anemo pterodactyl fanned towards the formation. easily destroyed the formation and sent the Cao soldiers flying.
"Ugh...." Sima Yi hid in the dark, feeling very uncomfortable: "The well-arranged formation could have blocked tens of thousands of iron horses, but in the face of giant beasts, it was really too fragile. ”
If he had plenty of oil, he would still have the confidence to fight the behemoth.
But not now.
No matter how well the formation is arranged, it can't stop the invincible beast.
Seeing the collapse of the great array, the army of 10,000 dispersed.
Sima Yi turned around and fled, chasing Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
..........
Sima Yi's formation was broken, and Pang De led the army to continue south.
The Northern Cavalry was extremely fast, easily overtaking Sima Yi, and caught up with Cao Cao's troops at a distance of about a hundred miles from Wuguan.
"Array!"
Cao Hongqin led 20,000 soldiers to break off and lined up to wait.
Pound rushed to the opposite side of the enemy line and suddenly waved his hand: "Stop!" ”
His task is to drag Cao Cao and Liu Bei, not to eliminate them. Therefore, he did not need to rush to engage the enemy army.
It only takes a day or two to delay, and when Ma Chao and Zhang Jaw arrive, Cao Liu will naturally tie his hands.
On the wide plain, Cao Hong confronted Pang De.
Along with Cao Hong, there was also the strategist Xun You.
Xun You frowned and said: "The general doesn't have to fight with him, he just needs to drag Pang De and make the prime minister retreat to Wuguan smoothly." ”
"I know." When Cao Hong took on this task, he had no intention of going back alive. When Cao Cao withdrew to Wuguan, he fought to the death with Pang De and repaid the country with death.
"Mr. Xun, I have a question, suppressed in my heart, don't vomit or be unhappy, can you solve my doubts?" Cao Hong stared at the Northern Cavalry on the opposite side and muttered.
"General, please."
"Can we win?" Cao Hong looked at Xun You: "We are only facing a part of the Northern Cavalry Army, and it is so tricky. If it were the entire Northern Cavalry Army, plus hundreds of thousands of enemy troops... ”
Cao Hong has lost confidence.
He felt that Cao Cao and Liu Bei joined forces to fight against Yuan Xi, and there was no chance of victory.
This war is doomed to defeat.
