Kuangting, the camp of Yuan Shujun, the noisy shouting and killing sound filled the inside and outside of the camp, Yuan Shujun and Cao Cao's army attacked and defended around this temporary camp, so lively.

"Zhao You, if you bring five hundred people up, you must resist me!" Liu Shen looked at the battle in front of him and ordered anxiously.

He couldn't help but be in a hurry, because the enemy was already about to break through the defense line of the camp! Speaking of which, Liu Shen was also quite helpless, because in terms of position, the distance between Yuan Shu's side and Cao Cao's side was not much different. But now, Cao Cao's army has been attacking for almost half an hour, and he hasn't seen the shadow of reinforcements on his side.

And over there, Cao Cao was also extremely anxious, "Zhongkang! Zilian! You personally take 2,000 men each up, and you must break through the enemy's line for me!" ”

Speaking of which, Cao Cao was just planning to make a feint, but when he found a chance to defeat this enemy army, he naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity. Moreover, after seeing this kind of fighter, another thought popped into his head.

"Rush with me!" Xu Chu and Cao Hong, who came to the front, shouted, brandishing the big knife in their hands and rushing directly towards the enemy camp with their guards. And under their leadership, many soldiers beside them suddenly shouted as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they all shouted to kill the enemy.

Sometimes, it's as simple as trying to get the soldiers to fight hard, just send someone with a high status to rush to the front. If Cao Cao personally led the army to charge, the morale would undoubtedly be even higher.

Of course, the risk of doing so is also very large, so generally those who hold this kind of role are strong in martial arts. This is also why many generals in history are illiterate and don't know how to march and arrange, but they can rely on their martial arts to wait for the generals.

In the face of the continuous impact of Xu Chu and Cao Hong, although Yuan Shujun resisted desperately, it became more and more difficult to resist. Because no one at all can stop Xu Chu and Cao Hong and their personal soldiers, especially the dozen or so people around Xu Chu, they are all Cao Cao's personal guards, and their strength is not much higher than these ordinary soldiers.

"General! Unstoppable! Withdraw! Liu Shen's subordinates shouted anxiously.

"But ......" Liu Shen heard this, looking at the front with a hesitant look, he knew that he would definitely not be able to stop the enemy if he went on like this, so he could retreat...... How will you explain to Yuan Shu when the time comes?

"General! If you don't withdraw, you really can't withdraw! Seeing this, the subordinate shouted again.

"Wait! Wait! Maybe the lord will come with reinforcements soon? Liu Shen muttered.

Hearing this, the subordinate wanted to say something more, but he heard a panicked shout from the front, and when he looked up, he saw that Cao Cao's army had already entered the camp like a wolf and a tiger.

"Withdraw! Retreat now! Seeing this, although Liu Shen was afraid of Yuan Shu's blame, he also knew that if he didn't retreat now, then it was very likely that these 10,000 people would really be folded here. And if that's the case, then Liu Shen really doesn't have to go back.

"My lord! The enemy wants to retreat! Xun You, who was beside Cao Cao, immediately reminded loudly when he saw the banner that the enemy army began to move to the rear.

"Excellent! Send an order to Zhong Kang and tell them to slow down their offensive a little, just bite the enemy and let them retreat to Yuan Shu's side! When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately shouted excitedly. Meng Zhuo! You lead the army to the left to surround it, and you lead the army to attack from the right! But remember, you can't break up this enemy! I'm going to drive them directly into Yuan Shu's array! ”

"No!"

"Gongda! Send someone to give Miao Cai an order to make a detour! When our army was engaged in battle with Yuan Shu's army, directly raid its flank! Cao Cao turned his head and shouted to Xun You.

"No!"

In this way, chasing and fleeing, Cao Cao's army was attacked from three sides, so that the Yuan Shu army in front of him didn't even have a chance to breathe. Especially on the rear army, under the attack of Xu Chu and Cao Hong, it was already full of holes, and the morale of the entire army plummeted in the continuous escape. It seemed that Cao Cao's army only needed a slight increase in the offensive to completely crush this enemy army.

But the fact is that Liu Shen is still leading the army to retreat, and Zhang Miao on the left and Zhang Jaw on the right are just biting the two wings of Liu Shen's department, and they don't look like they were taken down in one fell swoop. But in this regard, Liu Shen can no longer think about it. In fact, at this time, his mind was already in a mess, and his only thought was to withdraw to Yuan Shu's side as soon as possible.

Soon, in Liu Shen's anxious and helpless gaze, the shadow of Yuan Shu's main force finally appeared, and without thinking much about it at all, he immediately led the army to rush towards Yuan Shu's side. Of course, it is not appropriate to say that he is leading the army, because after seeing Yuan Shu's army, those soldiers did not need any orders at all, so they spontaneously rushed over there.

And Yuan Shu over there was stunned when he saw this scene in front of the enemy army. Well, who let Cao Cao's army chase after him so tightly that Liu Shen couldn't even send the soldiers who gave orders?

However, Yuan Shu is Yuan Shu after all, and he quickly stabilized his mind and ordered loudly, "Pass the order, let the left and right wings quickly step forward to meet the enemy, and be sure to block the attack of the enemy's two wings!" At the same time, let Liu Shen give me that waste to retreat from the left and right flanks! ”

And over there, after Cao Cao saw Yuan Shu's actions, he immediately shouted loudly, "Charge!" Drive this defeated army directly into the enemy's position! ”

Yes, this is why Cao Cao did not completely defeat Liu Shen's army, as long as this defeated army can be allowed to rush into the enemy's formation, then naturally the formation of Yuan Shu's army will be instantly disrupted. In this way, defeating the enemy is a breeze.

It's just that...... How can it be so simple? The rapid attack of Yuan Shujun's two flanks stopped the pursuit of Zhang Miao and Zhang Jaw, and also gave Liu Shen's troops the opportunity to retreat from both sides.

Immediately, I saw that Liu Shen's department was quickly divided into two parts, left and right, and quickly withdrew from the gaps on the left and right sides to Yuan's posterior side. At the same time, Yuan Shu's front army had already set up a formation, and when Liu Shen's troops were completely withdrawn, they directly met Cao Cao's army behind him.

But at this moment, a force appeared on the left side of Yuan Shu's army, that is, in the north, which was the Xiahou Yuan army sent out by Cao Cao to ambush.

"This is the time to make a difference! Everyone, kill the enemy with me! Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly, and then led his army directly to kill Yuan Shujun's left flank. At this time, the left flank of Yuan Shu's army still had thousands of Liu Shen's troops who were constantly retreating to the rear.

"Quick! Let those defeated armies stop! Directly line up to meet the enemy! Seeing this, Yuan Shu hurriedly ordered. Originally, he didn't plan to let this defeated army participate in the war, after all, just by looking at it, he could see how low the morale of this defeated army was, even after seeing the reinforcements, how could he fight in this situation?

But now, Yuan Shu can't care about that. After all, with the speed of this army on the left, those defeated troops will be able to kill them before they have withdrawn. In this way, those defeated armies will give the enemy an opportunity.

It's just that it is easy for a demoralized army, which was still fleeing just now, to take up arms against the enemy again? Even if the formation is good under Yuan Shu's strong order, it is difficult to exert much combat effectiveness.

In fact, under the leadership of Xiahou Yuan, this ambush army quickly broke through the flank temporarily formed by the defeated army, and the defeat of those defeated troops led to a huge flaw in the flank of the entire Yuan Shu army. After all, the flanks of the troops themselves were their weak points, not to mention that Yuan Shu also sent the original two wings out to meet the enemy.

"That's it! Offensive! Don't give the enemy any respite! Cao Cao saw that Xiahou Yuan's raid was successful, and immediately pulled out his Heavenly Sword and shouted. His face was hideous, his eyes were red, and his expression was extremely excited. This made Xun You on the side have to hold on to the reins of Cao Cao's mount, and at the same time, his mouth constantly calms Cao Cao. It seems that Xun Youke is very worried that Cao Cao will be killed directly because he is too excited, after all, Cao Cao is a person with a criminal record.

"Block! Our army has more troops than the enemy! As long as you hold on, you can win! Yuan Shu kept shouting, and at the same time once again ordered the troops on both flanks to retreat. It's just that the two wings of Yuan Shujun, who were originally responsible for intercepting Zhang Miao's department and Zhang Jaw's department, were entangled by the two of them at this time, so where could they get out?

"Bastard! It's all that damn Liu Shen! If it weren't for the fact that he was quickly defeated by that Cao Cao...... If it weren't for him to withdraw directly to my side......" Yuan Shu saw the tragic battle in front of him, and immediately thought angrily.

Just thinking about it, suddenly there was a huge commotion from the left wing, Yuan Shu quickly turned his head to look, only to find that the flag fluttering in the air with the word "Xiahou" printed on it had actually advanced some distance to his side.

Immediately, he saw a soldier hurrying up, "General! The left flank of our army has already been broken through by enemy troops! It's almost unstoppable! ”

"Bastard! Remove! Seeing this, Yuan Shu immediately shouted angrily, and then directly led the troops around him to quickly withdraw to the rear. As for the others, he didn't care so much. Because he knew that if he continued to stay here, he would most likely be killed by the enemy army in one fell swoop, after all, the front army seemed to be unable to hold on.

Yuan Shu's handsome flag began to move to the rear, which made Cao Cao, who had been staring at the banner all the time, suddenly understand Yuan Shu's thoughts, "Chase!" Ignore the others and pursue Yuan Shu directly! Cao Cao ordered in a loud voice.

With Cao Cao's order, Cao Hong, Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Cao's Chinese army continued to pursue Yuan Shu, and the two wings of troops entangled with Zhang Miao and Zhang Jaw also began to retreat to the rear when they saw this. However, unlike before, Yuan Shujun's morale was not as low as Liu Shen's before, which made Cao Caojun bite Yuan Shujun tightly, but he could only follow closely.

chased and fled, and finally before dusk, Yuan Shu led the army to Fengqiu. Just after entering the city, Cao Cao directly waved his hand and surrounded Fengqiu City.

"Rubbish! It's because of you shit! That's what caused me to lose to that eunuch! Yuan Shu, who entered the city, immediately ordered someone to arrest Liu Shen, and after scolding him, he ignored his bitter pleading, and directly ordered someone to push him out and cut him down.

It's just that although he killed Liu Shen, Yuan Shu still couldn't eliminate the anger in his heart, because at this time Cao Cao had already surrounded Fengqiu City. And because Yuan Shu marched too fast, there was not much food in Fengqiu City at all.

"No, you can't stay here!" Yuan Shu thought secretly in his heart, and then asked the troops to rest for a while, and when dusk was approaching, when Cao Cao's army had already begun to prepare for cooking, he directly led the army out of Fengqiu and wanted to withdraw from Xiangyi.

"Chase! You must not give Yuan Shu a chance to breathe! Seeing this, Cao Cao immediately ordered.

"Cao Cao! Someday! Today's shame, I will return it to you with Yuan Highway! Seeing Cao Cao leading the army to chase after him again, Yuan Shu thought angrily in his heart.

It's just that now, he has no other way than to continue to escape. Although the soldiers have repaired a little, their morale is extremely low, and there is no possibility of fighting again. Even if he knew that Cao Cao's side was just as exhausted.

Chasing and fleeing again, just like Cao Cao said, he really didn't intend to give Yuan Shu any respite. The two armies marched day and night in the direction of Xiangyi, and on the way, whenever there was an opportunity, Cao Cao would send cavalry to carry out all kinds of harassment.

These methods are exactly the ones used when Li Yi harassed Bu Ji in the past, but unfortunately, Cao Cao did not have as powerful cavalry as the Flying Cavalry Battalion, and he was not facing the Yellow Turban Army. But even so, it still made Yuan Shu extremely anxious, and it made it difficult for Yuan Shujun to get a real respite.

In this way, a few days later, Yuan Shu finally led his army into Xiangyi, which also allowed him to finally take a breath. Because here, with the baggage that Yuan Shu had already transported, it would not be a problem to keep it for ten days and half a month.

"Send someone back to Yuzhou to mobilize reinforcements immediately! I want that damn Cao Cao to know what will happen if you offend me Yuan Highway! Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and ordered.

At this time, outside the city, Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to rest, while staying with Xun You and others came to a high ground near Xiangyi City to observe the city defense.

"What do you think, how can you force that Yuan Shu out?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice, although his tone was full of exhaustion, his eyes still exuded a blazing essence.

"My lord, how about digging up the water and pouring it into the city?" Xun Yu on the side said in a deep voice, "The reason why Yuan Shu retreated to Xiangyi City is because there is a large amount of grain and grass in the city. If our army excavates the water and pours it into the city, Yuan Shu's reliance will naturally be gone......"

"Good! That's it! Cao Cao said immediately when he heard this, without any hesitation at all. Even if Xun You's idea sounds, it seems to be a bit ......

When Jishui poured into the city, Yuan Shu, who was still fantasizing about the arrival of reinforcements, almost became so angry that he led his army out of the city directly. However, in the end, under the persuasion of Yang Hong, he immediately led the army to rush out of Xiangyi, and retreated like Ningling of Liang State.
