This battle has a tendency to become dramatic.

The soldiers broke out en masse, quit, and the battle was gone.

A surging stream of soldiers headed for the north gate.

When the guard found out, he panicked.

There are hundreds of thousands of enemies outside, and if their soldiers rebel, then they will have only one fate.

"Open the gates, we surrender, surrender."

"Quick, open the gates."

A guard general was scared and ordered to open the city gate to surrender, if the city gate was not opened, then when this wave of soldiers came over, no one would have a chance.

On the other walls, the soldiers had already given up on the defense, and the soldiers began to climb the city, climbing the walls smoothly.

When the army opened the gates, the north gates were also opened, and many soldiers rushed out.

It's just that some of them still have weapons, and some of them have thrown them away.

The scene was chaotic, as if there was a mutiny.

Zhang Yu commanded a large army to surround them and surround them outside the city.

"Put your weapons down, or you won't be killed."

"Lay down your arms."

Under the coercion of the army, these people laid down their arms one after another, not daring to resist.

In this way, the city is considered to have been defeated.

Those guards are tragic, they are treated like soldiers, and there is no preferential treatment at all.

Zhang Yu didn't even distinguish between soldiers and generals when they received and surrendered troops, they were all treated the same.

fell into their hands, Zhang Yu was not afraid that they would rebel, there was no need to separate the generals from the soldiers.

After laying down Quyang County, Zhang Yu had a fulcrum in Changshan County.

The follow-up soldiers and horses are also on the way to support.

The most time-consuming part of the battle was filling in the trenches.

Zhang Yu ordered people to spread the news and spread the news that they had killed all the way.

Many of these armies were newly recruited and used with some veterans.

It is not an elite army, it is not difficult to deal with, Zhang Yu sent people to affect their morale, so that this battle is better to fight.

Zhang Yu asked the soldiers to rest for half a day and add one night, and continued to go south the next day.

To the south, Cao Cao's progress was not very smooth.

Yuan Xi's 100,000 troops were surrounded by him, and Cao Cao stormed for three days.

Three days later, Yuan Xi's army suffered more than half of the casualties, but Cao Cao's army also suffered heavy losses.

Yuan Shang and the others attacked several times to rescue and fought a few tough battles, but none of them were Cao Cao's opponents.

It's been three days, and although the offensive is progressing normally, if it continues, Cao Cao and his soldiers and horses will also suffer great losses.

Cao Cao frowned and called a few strategists.

"My lord, according to the current trend, we only need to continue to attack for three or five days, and the city will inevitably be breached by us, but our losses will be between eight and one hundred thousand." Cheng Yu said.

The loss of so many troops made Cao Cao feel distressed, although he had many soldiers and horses this time, he could not withstand such losses, and the battle behind was still big.

Xun Yu felt otherwise.

"Lord, a tough battle must be fought, these 300,000 troops are the elite of the Yuan family, if they are wiped out, most of the battles behind will be a battle of the water."

Cao Cao had a hard time choosing, and after some discussion, he decided to continue the onslaught for two days.

"In this way, we stormed for two days, deliberately let Yuan Xi leave, make us look tired, and lure Yuan Jun to escape, and when the time comes, we will cover up and kill in the back, so much easier to fight." Cao Cao said.

Onslaught is not the way, the losses are too great.

This Cao Cao still changed the method of attacking all the time.

Another two days passed, and this Cao Cao's onslaught had an effect, and Yuan Xi suffered a lot of losses, leaving more than 30,000 troops.

The Yuan army came to the rescue of Yuan Xi again, and this time tens of thousands of troops came to attack the Cao army.

Cao Jun let go of a hole and let them in.

After that, Yuan Xi finally found an opportunity and rushed out.

Yuan Xi's two armies were combined, and Cao's army pursued them.

While killing and retreating, Yuan's army retreated into the city.

In this way, three cities became two.

"Lord, now that we surround a city and annihilate the Yuan army, then there will not be many elites of the Yuan army." Xun You said.

Although Cao Cao felt sorry for his elite soldiers, he was able to quickly destroy Yuan's army, and that was the only way.

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were surrounded, and Cao Cao chose to surround the city where the two of them were.

However, Cao's army is also insufficient at this time, and I am afraid that it is a little powerless under the strong attack.

Cao Cao only had more than 200,000 troops, and Yuan's army also had so many.

Guo Tu felt bad, found Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang and said: "Two sons, now that our triangle has been broken, it is very dangerous, it is better to break through and re-form a formation in the rear." ”

The Cao army surrounded them, and if there was a decisive battle, there were still many troops in the rear of the Cao army, which could be quickly supported.

And they can't, they don't have so many troops anymore.

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were reluctant to give up, because their territory was getting smaller and smaller, and they couldn't afford to lose by giving up a few cities.

At this time, they were in the north of Zhaoguo County, and Guo Tu suggested that they go west and resist in Leping County, which was close to Bingzhou, and they could give up some places and concentrate their forces to resist.

Yuan Shang agreed with Yuan Xi, because the north was Changshan County, and Zhang Yu also fought there, and they didn't run, for fear of being attacked from front to back.

Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi chose to break through at night.

When they broke through, Cao Cao felt very pity, they chased and killed for a while, after all, the other party had a lot of troops, and they didn't dare to chase and kill too closely.

Let Yuan Jun run away, but Yuan Jun also left 100,000 people before and after.

Cao Cao did not immediately pursue and kill, but seized Zhao Guojun, and rested his army to strengthen the city defenses.

After Cao Cao and the others killed Yuan's army, they found that most of Changshan County in the north had fallen into Zhang Yu's hands.

Cao Cao did not immediately pursue Yuan's army, but was forced to stop and hold a meeting.

"Most of Changshan County fell into the hands of Zhang Yu, what should we do?"

Everyone was also entangled, and if they didn't let it go, Zhang Yu would definitely occupy the entire Changshan County.

And if you go to fight Changshan County with Zhang Yu, then there is no way to fight the Yuan army, and the Yuan army will have more time to prepare, or strengthen the city wall, or recruit soldiers and horses, which is troublesome.

"Apo, we can't let Zhang Yu threaten our back road, at least we must seize a few cities, send troops and horses, and block Zhang Yu's way south." Xu Yu said.

Cao Cao was extremely bored, and some of the elite soldiers of the Yuan army had already been killed by himself, and he could take advantage of the victory to pursue it, just in time to destroy the Yuan army.

"Okay, the whole army will go north and block Zhang Yu first."

In Changshan County, Yuan Jun was in fear all day long, because Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang ran away, and their back roads were cut off.

They still have a place to run, and they can go west.

Cao's army went north, Zhang Yu went south, and the two armies began to fight for territory and time.

When Zhang Yu knew about it, he ordered and said: "Evil, you take 50,000 cavalry to the front, this Yuan army is not strong in resistance now, and will even abandon the city and flee, if the Yuan army wants to run, let them run, we occupy the city." ”

Compete with Cao Cao for time to see who grabs more territory, and in the end he may compete here.
