There was a bang on the enemy tower in Wancheng, and the four walls immediately erected the banner of the Cao family, and Yuan Shuden was circled.

Looking at the enemy's upstairs again, a general stood with his hands on the battlement. Yuan Shu knew that this was Cao Ren, the general under Cao Cao.

No matter how stupid Yuan Shu is, he understands, and his angry finger Cao Ren scolds, "Cao Ren Pifu!" How dare you occupy my city! ”

Cao Ren laughed, "Duke Yuan's words are wrong, Zhang Xiu voluntarily gave Wancheng to my lord, what do you have to do with it?" Hahahaha".

Yuan Shu's capture of Wancheng was originally to defend against Cao Cao, but he didn't expect that he would spend troops and food for more than a month, but in the end, Cao Cao chose a ready-made one.

Yuan Shu was furious; Second, if this Wancheng is not recaptured, it will be tantamount to letting Cao Cao wedge a nail in his heart.

How can this be endured, the angry Yuan Shu shouted again and again, "Siege!" Besiege! Retake Wancheng for me! ”

How dare the soldiers under his command disobey, shouted, beat the drums, and the army attacked the city wall of Wanjun.

Since Cao Ren was waiting for Yuan Shu, how could he not be prepared, seeing Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses attacking the city, he shouted an order, and the bows, arrows, arrows, crossbows, and rolling wood and stones on the city were launched together, like rain.

There was a wail from the city, and countless people were wounded by arrows.

From the time of killing to the end of the afternoon, even if Yuan Shu scolded his throat, his soldiers and horses could not get close to the city wall for half a step.

Yuan Hong saw that the soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties, and hurriedly advised Yuan Shudao: "Lord, Cao Ren's thieves have long been prepared, and our army is tired from traveling far away, and if we continue to attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve results." In the humble opinion of his subordinates, it is better to retreat for the time being, rest the army, and then mobilize a large army to come, besiege it on all sides, and Wancheng can be broken in a battle."

Yuan Shu also calmed down at this time, looked at the piles of corpses under Wanjun City, and knew that it was not a way to attack at this time, so he had to nod, "That's it!" And let Cao Ren's children be rampant for a while! When I gather a large army to come, I will repay this hatred! ”

Yuan Hong saw that Yuan Shu agreed, and hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw from the army. The soldiers besieging the city have long lost their morale, who is not afraid of death, as soon as they heard the Chinese army's gold, one by one they were amnesty, scrambling to be the first, turning around and retreating.

Ji Ling was commanding in front of the battle, and suddenly heard the Chinese army singing gold, and saw the siege soldiers and horses retreating like a tide, and he was frightened into a cold sweat.

This is the difference between a military general and a strategist, although the strategist can judge the situation and know how to take the big steps, but he has no experience in the specific deployment of troops.

The soldiers are under the city, even if they want to retreat, they have to retreat step by step and slowly to prevent the soldiers and horses in the city from counterattacking.

When Ji Ling saw that Yuan Shu actually commanded the retreat like this, he suddenly panicked in his heart, and secretly said: "How can you retreat like this......

As soon as I thought of this, I heard a drum in the city of Wanjun, the city gate opened left and right, and Cao Ren took the lead, leading a large group of soldiers and horses out of the city, and rushed straight forward.

Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were running back, and suddenly heard the sound of killing behind him, and when he looked back, a large group of soldiers and horses were chasing and killing.

At this time, the situation is already irreversible, everyone is running, who dares to be the first to turn back. Once this psychological effect is generated, no matter who you are, you can't stop drinking it.

When the rear army saw that the front army was running back like crazy, the chain reaction suddenly rose, and more than half of the people also began to run. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses pushed each other, and suddenly it became a pot of porridge.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the drums on the left and right sides, and people shouted and neighed, from far and near. Cao Xiu led an army out of the left road, Cao Hong led an army out of the right road, and the soldiers and horses of the two roads fought bravely, covered and killed, and stormed the two flanks of Yuan's army.

Yuan Shuzhongjun was originally quite calm, but when he suddenly saw two more ambushes coming, he immediately panicked.

Seeing that it was not the head, Ji Ling hurriedly killed back to the Chinese army and left in a hurry to protect Yuan Shu. As soon as Yuan Shu retreated, his soldiers and horses became even more chaotic, and they also fled in a hurry.

Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Xiu marched hand in hand, chasing after each other, and the corpses that were killed were all over the place, and the blood flowed like a river.

Yuan Shu led the remnants of the army to defeat, panicked, and fled south. I can't escape for a few miles, and there are two drums on the left and right compartments. Cao Chun was on the right and Yu Ban was on the left, rushing into the battle and killing him.

Ji Ling Baoding Yuan Shu, fought and left, and fought to save Yuan Shu from the encirclement. I didn't dare to stop all the way, and went straight to Xinye before I stopped the horse's hooves.

Counting the soldiers and horses, most of the dead and wounded, and less than 10,000 remained. Yuan Shu became ill and was bedridden.

Cao Cao was greatly overjoyed when he received the battle report, and left Cao Ren to guard Wancheng, so that Cao Chun could garrison Bowang and support each other to prevent Yuan Shu.

In fact, since Cao Cao moved his headquarters to Xuchang, he has been coveting Wanjun.

The city of Wanjun is of great strategic significance to both Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. It is not only the northern rock wall of Nanyang, but also the southern barrier of Yingchuan.

Therefore, after Cao Cao returned from the Western Expedition, he wanted to capture Wancheng. But Xun Yu disagreed.

Cao Cao asked Xun Yu why. Xun Yu asked Cao Cao rhetorically, "Why did you take Wancheng?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned, and said that this is not obvious, of course, the purpose of taking Wancheng is to garrison troops and horses, defend Yuan Shu, and defend Xuchang.

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Isn't it good to let Zhang Xiu defend us against Yuan Shu?" ”

Cao Cao laughed, and no longer mentioned the capture of Wancheng, but gave Zhang Xiu many gifts to show his kindness.

This has to say that Xun Yu has a strong ability to analyze the situation. In fact, Zhang Xiu's occupation of Wancheng was a good thing for Cao Cao and Yuan Shu for a period of time.

There was Zhang Xiu, which just prevented the conflict between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. On the contrary, no matter who starts to attack Wancheng first, Zhang Xiu is bound to unite with the other. Then Wancheng actually became the other party's.

So Cao Cao not only did not fight Wancheng, but befriended Zhang Xiu. When Yuan Shu attacked Wancheng, Cao Cao had already gathered troops and horses, ready to reinforce Zhang Xiu if necessary. Unexpectedly, Gao Yun sent troops to Yuzhou and came to borrow for Zhang Xiu. Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to occupy the city, and did not need to stretch his bow and arrows.

But Yuan Shu couldn't see this, so after attacking Zhang Xiu for more than a month, Wancheng fell into Cao Cao's. I was still angry and half dead, this is not discerning the current situation, and its defeat is inevitable.

When Gao Yun returned to Xuzhou, Zhang Xiu's brothers and sisters led the soldiers and horses of Wancheng to arrive early. Hearing that General Huwei had returned to the city, the brother and sister hurried to thank them.

How could Gao Yun let the future eldest brother kneel for him, quickly helped him up, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, don't be like this, it's not enough to worry about it, please sit down."

Zhang Xiu didn't know why Gao Yun was so polite to herself, and she still had something to ask Gao Yun in her heart, so she didn't dare to sit. On the contrary, Zhang Huayan was not restrained at all, walked straight to the side, and sat down.

Gao Yun sat on the main seat, looked up and saw that Zhang Xiu was still standing there, so he asked, "Brother Zhang, why don't you sit?" ”

Before Gao Yun finished asking, Zhang Xiu lifted the belt of his robe, knelt down again, and bowed his head and said: "General Huwei is above, Zhang Xiu has come to Xuzhou for many days, and he has seen that the government decree is clear, the people are honest, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is comparable to the prosperous era." General Huwei is really the master of the world! Although Zhang Xiu is not talented, he has also practiced literature and martial arts, and now he meets the Ming Lord, which is the favor of the sky, how can he miss it. May the general not give up, be included, Zhang Xiu in this life, listen to the drive".
