Chapter 754: Set a fire
Lu Bu retreated, and Zhang Yu had time to sort out the soldiers and horses.
Zhang Yu also suffered a lot of losses in this battle, there were 100,000 soldiers and horses when he set off, and now there are more than 40,000 people left, and Gao Shun Na also killed more than 6,000 people.
Although the enemy's losses are not much more serious than Zhang Yu's, but the losses are so big, Zhang Yu is also distressed.
For the time being, there is no combat strength, and after fighting for so long, the soldiers are tired, and the army must be reorganized.
Zhang Yu came to Cao Ren's side, and then said, "General Cao, this time you were yin, and it was very miserable. ”
Cao Ren was very frustrated, he was set up by Lu Bu, and he lost so badly, it was really miserable.
Cao Ren didn't say a word.
Zhang Yu said again: "Please rest assured General Cao, he is also a military general, although his position is different, he still admires General Cao's talent." ”
In Cao Cao's camp, this Cao Ren's strength is not very high, but he is definitely one of Cao Cao's most relied on generals.
Cao Ren was a good commander and fought very well, and Cao Cao often entrusted him with important tasks.
Capturing Cao Ren, Zhang Yu no longer plans to sell for money, and it is important to ask for other benefits.
It was impossible to persuade Cao Ren to surrender, even if Cao Ren was willing to surrender to Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu would not dare to use it.
The surname Cao and the surname Xiahou, Zhang Yu will either kill him if he is caught, or exchange some benefits with Cao Cao, as for persuading him to surrender, it is impossible.
Zhang Yu sent these captives to Gao Shun to take care of them.
Guo Jia knew that the overall situation had been decided, so he came to Zhang Yu.
"My lord, after tonight's battle, everyone has consumed a lot, and it is a good opportunity for us." Guo Jia said.
Zhang Yu agreed to this, although he didn't know what the situation was on Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's side, but the casualties must be very serious, and after this battle, they didn't recover for a while.
Cao Cao, in particular, has already suffered two major defeats.
"Lord, you might as well take the rest of the cavalry to ambush Cao Cao, and ambush him on the way back, as long as you can break Cao Cao, at least half of this Xuzhou is the lord's." Guo Jia said.
Zhang Yu was also moved, if he could kill Cao Cao, then there would be only one Yuan Shao left to compete with him for Xuzhou.
"Okay, I'll set off immediately, I'll take the cavalry, and I'll go with me, and I'll leave it to you here." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu set off with the rest of the cavalry, more than 20,000 people.
I don't know what will happen tonight, but if you do it well, tonight's harvest will definitely be big enough.
Zhang Yu sorted out the soldiers and horses and went to ambush.
However, it is difficult for Zhang Yu, because there are many roads here, if the troops are divided, then I am afraid that it is not an opponent, and he will have a relatively large loss.
"It's just a matter of luck."
Zhang Yu was helpless, not knowing what path Cao Cao would take in the end.
Zhang Yu made a detour to Cao Cao's rear and then began to gather intelligence.
At this time, Cao Cao had just broken out, but the remaining army was less than 40,000.
Cao Cao was able to break through by summoning more than a dozen generals and then breaking through together.
In addition, at this time, Lu Bu happened to be killed, and he was mainly attacking Yuan Shao's rear.
Yuan Shao's army immediately collapsed, making way for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao fled immediately after his defeat.
Yuan Shao has a lot of soldiers and horses, plus there is an army reserved to resist Lu Bu's attack, and now there are more than 80,000 soldiers and horses.
Yuan Shao himself and a group of strategists evacuated first.
When Lu Bu killed, they almost collapsed on all fronts, and the places attacked by Lu Bu also collapsed.
Wen Chou found the problem and gathered Ju Yi and Gao Ran to block Lu Bu's first wave of attacks.
"Withdraw the camp and rely on defense."
Wen Chou will definitely not be able to defeat Lu Bu, who has superior soldiers and horses, alone.
Lu Bu came with more than 60,000 troops, and there were tens of thousands of Lu Bu soldiers and horses on the battlefield, Wen Chou was definitely not an opponent.
"Ju Yi, in a wave of attack, otherwise you can't escape."
The retreat was not so smooth, Lu Bu was relatively tight, and the retreat was difficult.
"Yes, General, help me block it, and I'll be fine right away." Ju Yi heard the order and began to prepare.
Ju Yi's army is armed with bows and crossbows, which are very lethal, but he needs time to prepare.
Wen Chou immediately asked Gao Ran to go up and create an opportunity for Ju Yi.
Ju Yi stopped and asked the soldiers to equip their bows and crossbows.
"Put."
After getting ready, Gao Ran got out of the way, and Lu Bujun rushed up, at this time Ju Yi began to exert force, and the enemy was repelled at once.
Ju Yi's anger came up, and he actually rushed up and knocked the other party back a long way.
However, Ju Yi was not a reckless person, and retreated back in time.
In this way, Yuan Jun had the opportunity to return the big account.
After entering the camp, Yuan's army temporarily stabilized its position with its original defenses.
Lu Bu gathered about 100,000 soldiers and horses to surround them.
And Zhang Yu waited there for a long time, and finally failed to wait for Cao Cao, but chased and killed more than 10,000 Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's rout.
Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were also scattered a lot, and in the dark night, many of them lost their way.
"Cao Cao must have escaped at night, and in this dark night, our scouts didn't find out in time, it's too complicated here." Zhang Yu said helplessly.
There are one army after another here, and it is difficult for Zhang Yu and their scouts to move.
"Let's go, let's go to Yuan Shaona and see if we can pick up a bargain."
Since you can't wait for Cao Cao, let's go to Yuan Shao to try your luck.
When Zhang Yu rushed to the periphery, Lu Bu had already attacked again.
Although Yuan's army had a barrier and a fortification of the barracks, the morale of the army was already in chaos.
Tonight's encounter was definitely a fiasco.
Wen Chou: They also had a very hard time resisting.
"I'm afraid that this Yuan army is going to be defeated, we must help and burn Yuan Shao's camp before they retreat." Zhang Yu said.
Burning the camp, that's a must, not to mention how many people can be burned, the most important thing is that there are too many supplies.
More than 200,000 troops are there, how many things are needed.
If it was obtained by Lu Bu, it would cause great difficulties for Zhang Yu.
"Kill me."
After Zhang Yu received the news that Yuan's army was defeated and Lu Bu was chasing and killing, he led his troops to rush out.
"Just set fires, don't fight." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu followed Lu Bujun and started to set fire to it from behind.
Zhang Yu saw a lot of ordnance and grain and grass, which Yuan Shao spent a lot of money to get.
"Light them all, get more torches, and give me a cross through their camp."
After Zhang Yu entered the camp, he ordered the fire, and sent a team to set fire to the periphery.
Chen Gong in the city was very satisfied with the results of tonight's battle, and in his estimation, except for Zhang Yu, the other two roads were afraid that they would not be able to organize an attack on them.
"What? The risk is confused, the overall situation is under control, how to set fire at this time. ”
Seeing the fire, Chen Gong was very distressed, and hurriedly asked people to stop Lu Bu, and at the same time organized people to extinguish the fire.
But what Chen Gong didn't know was that it was not Lu Bu who set the fire, Lu Bu was still chasing and killing Yuan Jun, and he didn't know that there was a fire behind him.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and Lu Bu also found out that something was wrong.
