The Yuan army stationed in Wuchao totaled more than 2,000 people.

Cao's army rushed into the camp, and Yuan's army was defenseless.

As Yuan Xu expected, Chun Yuqiong drank a lot of wine with the generals at night and was sleeping soundly in the barracks.

The barracks were in chaos, and Chun Yuqiong hurriedly went out to check.

As soon as he ran out of the barracks, he was greeted by a fast horse.

Cao Jiangsheng on horseback was as strong as a bear, and when he rushed to the front, he burst out and slashed with a knife.

It was Xu Chu who came forward.

didn't know that Chun Yuqiong was in front of him, seeing that he looked like a general, Xu Chu just subconsciously waved his knife!

Chun Yuqiong, who had not yet dissipated her drunkenness, was shocked into a cold sweat.

Before he could react, the broadsword had already slashed into his shoulder.

The poor right lieutenant appointed by Emperor Ling of Han was cut in two by Xu Chu with a knife and shoulder lead.

Cao's army rushed into the black nest, and the soldiers killed people when they saw them.

In the chaos, Yuan's army had no intention of resisting, and most of them did not even carry blades, so they jumped out of the barracks and fled in all directions.

In addition to killing people, Cao Jun's soldiers did not forget to set fires.

Torches were thrown onto the granary, and the Wuchao military camp was suddenly filled with thick black smoke.

The 2,000 Yuan troops who came to the aid saw the fire from afar and immediately sped up.

Han Meng set off later than them, and Yuan Xu ordered him not to slack off, and led the soldiers to speed up.

The black nest lit up with fire, and Han Meng admired Yuan Xu, who was like a god, but also knew that the situation was irretrievable.

"Speed up!" With a shout, he rode out.

Five thousand Yuan troops followed, rushing towards the black nest.

The columns rushed into the barracks, and Cao Cao stood in the open field, escorted by several Cao troops.

The military rations burned into flames. Cao Cao's face was flushed.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the guards shouted to Cao Cao, "Gong Cao." Enemy reinforcements are coming! ”

"How far is it?" Cao Cao didn't look back.

"Only Rich!"

"Tell me in 100 steps!"

In a moment, the guard shouted, "The enemy is only a hundred paces away!" ”

"Fifty steps to inform!"

Just for a moment. The guard shouted, "Fifty steps!" ”

"Ten steps to tell!"

Yuan Jun had already rushed into the barracks and was heading towards Cao Cao's side, and cold sweat broke out on the guard's nervous forehead.

"Ten steps!"

"Let's go!" With a flick of the reins, Cao Cao ordered to withdraw.

The 1,500 Cao troops who burned the black nest withdrew one after another.

The first to storm into the barracks was Yuan's army, which coordinated to consolidate the defense.

Before they arrived, the black nest had been broken, and the leader Yuan Jiang was full of chagrin.

Seeing Cao's army withdrawing, he immediately ordered a pursuit.

After a while, Han Meng led his army to arrive.

Knowing that he was coming, General Yuan stepped forward and saluted: "General Han." I'm too late! ”

"Where is Cao Cao?" Han Meng asked.

"It's gone!"

"You wait for the pursuit, I'll stay here to fight the fire!" Han Meng gave an order, and five thousand Yuan troops stepped forward one after another.

The soldiers of the Yuan army either took off their clothes to put out the fire, or searched everywhere for water to put out the fire.

The flames were rolling, Han Meng couldn't care about the anxiety, and led the soldiers to fight hard.

After a whole night of fighting, the fire was finally extinguished.

In the Wuchao military camp, bursts of black smoke poured up, rushing straight into the blue sky.

The sun is rising. The warm sunshine did not bring vigor to the soldiers of the Yuan army, but only reflected the tiredness on their faces.

The soldiers were all disgraced, and the situation was very embarrassing.

"How much more rations?" Looking at the scorched earth barracks, Han Meng asked the soldiers.

"Almost all of them were burned." His face was covered with jet-black charcoal ash. The soldier said: "We fought hard, and the military rations we grabbed were only enough for the army to eat for three days!" ”

Wuchao hoarded enough for 100,000 troops to spend half a year, and only three days of grain and grass were burned by Cao's army.

Han Meng took a deep breath: "If the fifth prince had been ordered earlier. I'll not be here half a day early! ”

"General, what can I do?" The soldier asked.

"Send someone to present the five sons. Collect the remnants of military rations in case you need them! ”

Wuchao was attacked by Cao's army, and all the military rations were burned. The news soon reached Yuan Shao's ears.

Knowing that the black nest was attacked, Yuan Shao fainted in front of his eyes.

Seeing this, the left and right hurriedly rescued.

was pinched by someone, and Yuan Shao woke up after a long time.

The first thing he said when he woke up was: "I regret not being at the beginning, and I didn't listen to the words of Xianxin!" ”

Yuan Xu was also on the side, and when he heard Yuan Shao speak, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said: "Father doesn't have to be like this, the military rations are burned, and our army can retreat to the north of the Yellow River to confront Cao's army." ”

"Give the order to go down, and the army will retreat." Yuan Shao said weakly.

Yuan Jun retreated, how could Cao Jun sit idly by.

When retreating, Yuan Shao deployed several lines of defense in an attempt to resist and intercept Cao's army.

Where did the soldiers of the Yuan army, who had no intention of fighting, resist the morale of the Cao army, and were quickly defeated by the enemy!

Yuan Xu took Zhao Yi and escorted Yuan Shao all the way to the north.

The officers and men in the army fought separately and were broken by the Cao army one after another!

The defense line north of the Yellow River has not yet been formed, and it has been torn apart by the Cao army!

Yuan Shao was escorted by Yuan Xu and others to Yecheng, and Ma Yi was left behind in Guandu.

led a group of soldiers, and whenever Cao's army broke Yuan's army, he would lead the army to kill for a while.

The horizontal knife was immediately heroic, and it actually gave Cao Jun quite a headache!

Often Cao Jun kills Zhengshuang, and a Yuan army will rush out from the side.

The generals of the Yuan army did not love war, and in order to gain enough time to break the Yuan army, they would lead the army to withdraw.

Among the fleeing Yuan army, a general with a big sword who went in the opposite direction appeared, which quickly attracted Cao Cao's attention.

After many investigations, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh when he learned that Ma Yi was under Yuan Xu's command.

In the battle of Guandu, although the Yuan family was defeated, Yuan Xu still had enough strength in his hands to resist the Cao army!

What's even more terrifying is that this Yuan army was very small at first, only four or five hundred people at most, and it didn't take long to gather thousands of soldiers!

Withdrawing to the Yellow River, Ma Yi no longer retreated, and confronted Cao's army across the river.

The crossing of the Yellow River was held by Yuan's army, and Cao's army repeatedly attacked in vain.

In a fit of rage, Cao Cao ordered the capture of Yuan's captives to be killed to deter the enemy on the other side!

In the first battle of Guandu, Cao's army captured thousands of Yuan's troops.

Thousands of captives were killed by Cao's army at one time.

In order to create momentum, Cao Jun announced that more than 70,000 people captured by Yuan's army had been slaughtered!

The two sides confronted each other for several months, and the battle of Guandu finally came to an end.

Yuan Xu has many strategies, but he has always been unable to defeat Yuan Shao's rigidity and the complicated internal affairs of the Yuan family.

The battle of Guandu ended with the defeat of Yuan's army and Cao Cao's complete victory.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Ma Yi led his army to stay for a few days, and after meeting with Han Meng, he quietly withdrew and went all the way to Dongtou Penglai.

Back in Yecheng, Yuan Shao was furious and fell seriously ill.

When his condition improved slightly, he ordered the remnants of Guandu to be recalled, recruit new soldiers, and prepare for another decisive battle with Cao Cao.

The Yuan family did not give up, Yuan Shao vowed revenge, and the battle of Guandu was just the prelude to the Yuan Cao War!

After experiencing the battle of Guandu, Yuan Xu also understood a truth!

The strength of the Yuan family is not his strength.

To survive in the troubled times, he must change his mind of clinging to the Yuan family and find a place in the troubled times! (To be continued.) )
