Being surrounded, Zhang Yu is not afraid, he has grain and grass in his hands, and he has an army, so he is not afraid at all.

The army was ordered to begin laying out the defenses at once.

The soldiers cut down the trees around them and made them into defensive tools.

Even the rejection of horses has been done a lot.

Not far away, Cao's army had already followed and formed an encirclement on the periphery, but because of the night, Cao's army did not dare to attack.

It is not so easy to fight Zhang Yu's army, and if you are not careful, you may suffer a big loss.

Cao Cao led more than 300,000 troops, and nearly 400,000 troops were outside.

He had already concentrated most of the troops in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and at the same time mobilized some troops and horses from Luoyang.

If you don't block Zhang Yu's attack, you will fail sooner or later, and Cao Cao has already pressed it all.

"Lord, let your subordinates bring tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to investigate the situation." Xu Chu asked for instructions and wanted to lead the troops to tempt.

Cao Cao shook his head and refused: "It's dark, Zhang Yu must have an ambush, or be stable after dawn." ”

Zhang Yu did have an ambush, and a large number of archers had already determined their positions before it was dark.

If Cao's army attacked, it would definitely suffer a big loss.

Zhang Yu's side, nervous defense.

After being busy for half a night, Zhang Yu cut down a lot of the big trees around them.

Trees are cut down to prevent enemies from setting fires, and the wood can also be used as a barrier and can be used as a tool for defense.

When it was dawn, Cao Jun saw that Zhang Yu had already built a preliminary defense.

"Lord, Zhang Yu has already built a defense, but they have too many troops and not enough food and grass, as long as we trap them for a month, we will definitely be able to win easily."

The truth is this, and Cao Cao also understands that the most important thing is that they have to have a month.

The 400,000 troops were transferred by Cao Cao, and there were not many troops in the other directions, if they couldn't quickly take Zhang Yu, even if they killed Zhang Yu here, they would lose in the end.

Cao Cao's face was not very good, he did not surround Zhang Yu, but let Zhang Yu escape here, and robbed a batch of his own grain and grass.

"Lord, let the last general give it a try." Cao Ren asked for battle.

This time, it was because of Cao Ren's mistake that Zhang Yu was given a chance.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Okay, give you 30,000 soldiers and horses, you go and test it, and if you can't do it, you will return immediately." ”

Cao Ren took the order and left.

This col is quite large, Zhang Yu is divided into several parts to defend, and in front below are sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and cavalry at the end, Zhang Yu didn't want them to fight.

There are also many archers on the slopes.

Behind was a mountain, and Zhang Yu sent 20,000 men to defend it.

Cao Ren took 30,000 people and rushed up to kill.

approached, and Zhang Yu's side did not react.

The archers on both sides did not lead but did not fire.

Cao Ren led the army to kill, and when they approached, when they faced each other, the archers did not fire a single arrow.

"Kill."

The sword and shield soldiers came out and killed with Cao Ren.

The two armies fought in front of the col.

The battle was fierce, and the soldiers on both sides were not afraid to die.

However, the area of engagement between the two sides was relatively narrow, and only two or three thousand troops were really fighting at the same time.

Cao Ren's army paid great attention to defense, after all, the archers on both sides were on the high ground and could attack at any time, but they fought for a long time, and the archers did not attack.

"Stand down, there's no point in fighting." Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao reluctantly ordered the troops to retreat.

Xu Chu on the side was very unconvinced, and said loudly: "Lord, let your subordinates go down, and when you hear the turtle shell that opens Zhang Yu." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled bitterly, things are not that simple.

Zhang Yu wants to defend and doesn't want to attack.

Neither of the archers on either side made a move.

The combat area is so small, even if it is filled with human lives, there will be no results in fighting for ten days and half a month.

"Zhang Yu has calculated the weakness of this king, if we can't capture this place in a short time, we must be the ones who fail." Cao Cao said in a low voice.

Zhang Yu did not let the archers attack, which was a deterrent.

And they don't carry a lot of arrows.

Cao Cao observed there for a day, but there was no good way.

And Zhang Yu and the others continued to strengthen the defense inside, using mud, stone, and wood to strengthen the defense.

"Paste all the wood with mud and make it thicker." Zhang Yu took a walk around the col and checked the situation of the soldiers' defenses.

Cover all the wood with mud to prevent the enemy from setting fires.

Zhang Yu checked around, then sat on the high ground and looked down.

In the distance, Cao's army camped in layers.

"There are a lot of capable people in Cao's army, and this time I was almost surrounded, once I am surrounded, I will be passive."

Zhang Yu was also glad that he found out early and suddenly attacked, leaving Cao Ren defenseless and in the current situation.

After Zhang Yu's analysis, after Gao Shun knew the situation with Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, he would definitely attack violently.

Cao Jun dispatched most of the troops and horses, and once it was not defended, Cao Jun faced a great collapse.

The next day, Cheng Yu and others came in a hurry.

Cheng Yu and Xu Yu hurried to see Cao Cao.

Cao Cao saw them in the big tent and sent the soldiers far away.

"The situation is not good, this Zhang Yu is too difficult to deal with, he has seen through our situation, and intends to hold on to it for a long time, as long as we hold on for a while, we will be defeated." Cao Cao said to the two people.

Cheng Yu thought for a while and said, "Lord, in this battle, the situation is very unfavorable to us. Plan ahead. ”

"Intended?" Cao Cao thought about it.

Now that it was too late to change the arrangement, could Cao Cao still be able to withdraw his troops to support the other two directions.

Impossible, Zhang Yu is here, with an army of nearly 200,000, he can't ignore it, the destructive power is too great.

"Lord, please let the eldest prince get ready."

Let Cao Ang prepare, that is, he is going to move to Luoyang.

That's a big deal.

It's not something they can do if they want to.

"What do you think of it?" Cao Cao still had trouble making up his mind.

The situation is obvious, this time they failed to trap Zhang Yu, then the situation is very unfavorable for them.

Xu You said: "Prepare with both hands, prepare for a big retreat, not only the army and officials, but also the people must be taken away as much as possible." ”

Xu You paused for a long time, and then said: "The other thing is whether you can kill Zhang Yu, kill Zhang Yu, you can fight for a long time." ”

Zhang Yu is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and killing him naturally has many benefits.

However, it is unrealistic to say that killing Zhang Yu will lead to the demise of the Tang Dynasty.

Datang already has a complete system, a loyal army, and capable ministers, even if there is no Zhang Yu, there is also Zhang Yu's son.

Cao Cao closed his eyes, thought silently, and said, "Okay, order Ang'er to preside over the retreat, and the two of you will assist, give you 30,000 horses each, and immediately organize a retreat." This king wants to stay and fight Zhang Yu in a decisive battle. ”

Cao Cao made a lot of determination, he wanted to drag Zhang Yu here to buy time, if he could, it was best to take Zhang Yu's life.

Cao Cao was a decisive man, giving up a large area of territory and fighting a decisive battle with King Zhang Yu against the king.
