Liu Zhang kept thinking about what was going to happen next, so much so that the feeling of nausea was ignored. Cao Cao is still strong, and the earth cannon is only beneficial to himself, but it can't be turned into a crush. The Qin army's war can be called the pinnacle art of the cold weapon era, and the Han Cheng Qin system also seems to have a bit of Qin feeling in terms of fighting style. In the confrontation of the era of fire and qi, there is basically no feeling of blood and heat boiling. Only in the era of cold weapons can we appreciate what it is like to fight hundreds of thousands of people. Especially in ancient China, a country that has played cold weapons to the peak, it is even more cruel to fight......

There are a lot of wounded soldiers on the battlefield, and that's only when there is a gap in strength. If both sides are strong armies fighting, then it would be good for the soldiers after the war to have whole corpses. The infantry confrontation was either split or the head could not be found. The clash of cavalry, it feels like everyone has been distorted and deformed, and there are still alive mouths left there?

The two sides combined to throw more than 100,000 people into the battlefield, which should be the largest battle since Guandu. Liu Zhang didn't know how long he would have to fight, but he saw that people were constantly decreasing. The soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, and only constant killing was the key to victory.

"This won't work...... Liu Zhang's heart was dripping blood every time he looked at some soldiers who died. Finally grew up in life, although this is ancient...... But I still have to lose a lot of money, and I have to end the battle quickly.

"Han Sheng took my own soldiers around me and led a thousand light horsemen to attack Xiahoudun, even if he couldn't kill him, he would be scared away. Wen Chang led a thousand infantry around me, and the rapid support must defeat Xiahou Yuan. "The pro-soldiers around Liu Zhang are definitely real soldiers, and Liu Zhang is also a little anxious in order to end it quickly. It's been more than an hour, and Liu Zhang has been frowning looking at the corpses all over the ground.

Zhang Ren hurriedly said: "Lord ......" The pro-soldiers around him have been withdrawn, what if there is any danger? The really powerful troops are all in Luoyang, and it doesn't matter if they succeed or fail here.

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "It's okay, this battle is the first confrontation between me and Cao Cao, and we can draw and not lose." Seeing Liu Zhang's insistence, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan led the troops away, and Zhang Ren took more than a hundred soldiers to guard Liu Zhang's side.

There is an abnormality on Liu Zhang's side, and Cao Cao's side is also waiting anxiously. He doesn't have a telescope and can't see the big picture. But after all, Cao Cao has been fighting all year round, and as long as he glances at the engagement of the soldiers on both sides, he will understand that he is now at a disadvantage. If you persist for a long time, once Ma Chao and the others defeat their cavalry, then this battle will be lost.

"The battle situation of the lord is unfavorable." Guo Jia stood on the side of the shelf, but he looked farther. He paid special attention to cavalry battles in the plains.

Cao Cao glanced a few times and said, "That Ma Chao is the son of Ma Teng, and he is famous in Xiliang. The cavalry is fighting, and I am afraid that only Lu Bu can defeat him. Now it seems that Yuan Rang is not as terrorist as him, and once the battle fails, I'm afraid we will be defeated. "Cao Cao saw clearly, the reason why Dong Zhuo was so powerful back then was not because of the Xiliang Iron Horse?

"The lord is almost over today, and we are not suitable for a showdown with Liu Zhang now." The armies are not here, they are coming from a long distance. If under the consumption of such a decisive battle, once there are no troops, then Liu Zhang transferred troops from Shangcai and Nanyang, and they may be directly finished.

"Preparing for Mingjin to withdraw the troops...... "After nearly an hour of killing, the advantages and disadvantages can almost be seen. It was obvious that he was at a disadvantage, and the army rushed out to fight all night. If the fight continues, I am afraid that my side will be completely defeated.

As Cao Cao's words fell, two teams of men and horses rushed out from the rear. It doesn't seem like there are many people, but the momentum is very strong. In particular, a strong man in the lead, armed with a large sword, carried a longbow. While running, he shot his own cavalry with a bow and arrow, but it was not uncommon to shoot his own cavalry at such a distance.

"It's another fierce general, immediately Mingjin retreats." As Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran went out to block Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, Cao Cao's side immediately withdrew his troops. In the fight, they have little chance of winning, and may even lose directly.

With Cao Cao's gold, all the soldiers immediately retreated. Liu Zhang's Wen Ping also immediately ordered Ming Jin, and although they were not defeated, they should not be chasing. Kill a few people, and maybe more people will die on your side. With the withdrawal of troops from both sides, Liu Zhang also collected troops here.

The horses that had not yet died on the battlefield were still wailing, and a large number of corpses were covered with the battlefield. Nowhere was this more evident than in the infantry, which was littered with mutilated corpses. All the wounded soldiers were sent to Shangcai, and all the soldiers who were not injured cleaned up the battlefield.

The dead horses are pulled back, and the horses that are not dead are seen to see if they can be saved. After the horses were pulled back, they began to collect the corpses of the battlefield. As for the wounded soldiers on their own side, as long as they can hold on, they can basically be rescued without heavy bleeding, and the pressure on logistics work has inexplicably increased a lot.

As for Cao Jun's body, except for weapons and arrows, nothing else was moved, and it was thrown directly into the pit and buried. Liu Zhang came from later generations, and he didn't pay so much attention to it, but there is also a saying that he is in the ground. Everything else is easy to say, as long as you bury everything in the ground, it's over.

As for his own body, he can only be cremated and finally bring a box back. It's actually good to have this kind of treatment, and hundreds of soldiers have been specially selected to do this kind of thing in the back, otherwise the entire camp is a smell of meat, isn't it very bad? I'm afraid Liu Zhang won't be able to eat meat for a few months, but fortunately, every soldier has a card on his feet, which can be regarded as a little effort.

Back in the camp, Liu Zhang has been standing in the middle of the camp watching the soldiers busy, standing here for a long time and not knowing what he is looking at. It wasn't until Zhang Ren came over that Liu Zhang asked, "How much have we lost?" "It can be said that his side won, after all, it was Cao Cao who withdrew his troops first.

"The cavalry lost more than 4,000, the infantry more than 10,000, and the trapped soldiers more than 600, totaling less than 20,000. At present, there are more than 30,000 soldiers left in the army, does the lord want to mobilize a large army to come? "Suddenly, I fought with Cao Cao, and if the fight continued, I could only transfer troops over. Liu Zhang's total is only more than 50,000 soldiers, so Cao Cao will not be much more.

Liu Zhang was silent for a while and asked, "What do you think, Guangxiao?" ”

Zheng Du glanced at the generals around him, and they were quite excited. Speaking of which, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, and Wei Yan were not injured? Wan Jun killed me I don't know how many times, but I actually walked out one by one.

"Don't worry, my lord, today I saw that the strength of the Cao army is on par with ours. Especially since they are dying more than us today, it seems that it is impossible for Cao's army to attack us in a short time. Shangcai has earth artillery and a strong city, and even if the Cao army has 100,000, it is impossible to break through. Strategically, as long as we don't go out of the city, we are invincible. Zheng Du felt that this battle made Cao Cao unable to start, and then he and Liu Zhang continued to fight to the death? Or do you want to hold off?

Cao Cao's main force did not come, and Liu Zhang's main force did not come either. At this moment, both sides have some scruples, and the next battle depends on who starts first. Zheng Du's analysis is very correct, no matter what Cao Cao does, Liu Zhang will not fail anyway. So it seems that you can still wave?

"Tomorrow rest for the day and be ready to retreat at any time. The scouts were scattered, keeping an eye on Cao Cao's main forces. Once the main force of the Cao army is discovered, report it immediately. "Cao Cao's main force doesn't come back, and Liu Zhang doesn't have to worry about being ambushed in the field at all. If the main force of Cao's army comes back, Liu Zhang will run away.

With Liu Zhang's arrangement, the security in the barracks became more stringent. If Cao Cao attacked the camp, it would be the first time to respond. The blood loss of this battle, Liu Zhang plans to find it back on Yuan Tan. Although gold and silver cannot save people, gold and silver can make their families more comfortable.

In the Cao camp, Cao Cao lay on the bed and asked, "How are the casualties...... He knew that many people had died, but he still wanted to know how many people there were.

Guo Jia on the side was supposed to stay in Jizhou, but then Xun You stayed there, and Guo Jia followed Cao Cao back. It's just that he is in a very bad mood now: "More than 10,000 cavalry killed, more than half of the infantry killed, more than 20,000 soldiers left in Yun County's original 50,000 soldiers, and less than 10,000 of the 20,000 brought by the lord...... It's just that they retreated a little earlier, and if they hold on, they will all die.

"We were surprised that we had been preparing for so long in advance, and we caught Liu Zhang off guard early in the morning. But it's a defeat? If Liu Zhang and the others prepare in advance, or if the two armies set up a position, can they be sure that they will win the battle? Cao Cao was very dull, and in order to catch Liu Zhang off guard in the morning, they got up early. Who knew that in exchange for this result, how could this not make Cao Cao very angry. What's more, Liu Zhang didn't use any means, so he almost let Cao Cao be defeated.

won himself in a completely head-to-head battle, which shows that his soldiers are not as good as Liu Zhang? Or is his command inferior to the general on Liu Zhang's side? Thinking of all this, Cao Cao's heart was angry. He Cao Cao thought he was no worse than anyone else, but now he was defeated in front of the battle? Although the soldiers on his side are not elite, as for Liu Zhang, he doesn't know. However, Cao Cao is still very angry, what should he do in the next battle?

Cao Cao didn't want to start a full-scale war with Liu Zhang now, and once the main force was transferred back, he would inevitably start a war with Liu Zhang. Wouldn't it be meaningless to attack Yuan Shao a few years ago in this way, it is better to continue to be soft and beat Liu Zhang first. So Cao Cao felt like a fool......
