Gao Yuan, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun's commanding power, coupled with the combat power of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, broke through the defense line of Cao Cao's protective army to establish a camp.

This led to the defeat of Cao's army, which had more than 20,000 camps, and the situation was out of control.

However, Cao Cao is Cao Cao after all, he is unwilling to fail, and in the midst of the rout, he used Guo Jia's backwater battle plan, and joined the slightly changed ten-sided ambush (chaotic war) plan.

Gao Yuan has few soldiers, and the melee is very disadvantaged.

Cao Cao followed the plan, cleaned up the rout along the way, and divided ten teams of soldiers and horses.

These ten routes of soldiers and horses, there are Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Yu Ban, Le Jin, Li Dian, Xu Chu, Cao Chun, and Xia Houen.

It is said that Gao Yuan led the army to pursue, and the sound of killing was endless all the way. And the soldiers of the Cao Army also used all their resources in order to survive. What a lazy donkey rolls, eighteen flips or something, anyway, it won't stand well for you to kill.

With the emergence of the Yellow River, more and more soldiers who escaped death came to the edge of the Yellow River. The boiling waters of the Yellow River blocked their way of escape.

Layers of Cao army were defeated, facing the surging Yellow River, showing a frightened expression. As the sound of horses' hooves progressed behind them, the threat of death pressed these defeated soldiers into hysteria.

At this time, a cry ignited the pressure in the hearts of the defeated soldiers.

"There is no way out, if you don't want to die, take up arms and fight the enemy to the death!" Cao Cao pulled out the Qinghong Sword and raised his arms and shouted.

Xiahoudun and other ten teams of organized soldiers and horses first responded to Cao Cao's call.

"Fight to the death!"

"To survive!"

In the shout, all Cao Cao's defeated soldiers were coerced in. In order to survive, these soldiers also fought hard.

Therefore, when Gao Yuan led the cavalry to chase here, a large number of Cao soldiers came back in the east, west, and south, in the rolling dust. It can be seen that these soldiers no longer have the low morale of the defeated army, nor are they high morale, but they are red-eyed and desperate to die for their lives.

The three breads were copied, believing that no matter which side of the high and distant assault was, it would eventually end up being surrounded by ten sides.

"Fighting against the water, it is worthy of Cao Mengde's ......." Gao Yuan also had to admire. Now his soldiers and horses are exhausted, and if he exhausts the only armed forces he has in the face of an enemy who is fighting on his back, he will definitely be defeated. And the results have been achieved in the early stage, and the coming day is long, so he wisely chose a strategic retreat.

When Gao Yuan and his wolf rode away with a roar. The soldiers of the Cao army exhausted their mental strength, and after escaping death, they collapsed and fell to the ground one after another.

Cao Cao did not scold these soldiers, he himself also had a sense of powerlessness that his hard work was exhausted, and he looked at the dust in the distance, and was silent for a long time.

The generals waited for Cao Cao's order, but Cao Cao's fear of heights broke out, "This son is so good, much stronger than Lu Bu, he almost died...... He shuddered.

Xun Youjin said: "My lord, set up camp as soon as possible." ”

Cao Cao expressed his worries in his heart, "Camping in the camp? What if Gao Mengyan comes again? ”

Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao was a little afraid of heights and lacked self-confidence. He also had to admire Gao Yuan, the only one in the world who could use the cavalry so superbly, Gao Mengyan alone. He hurriedly cheered up and said, "My lord, if it is getting late today, and Gao Mengyan will definitely be sleepy and tired." Our army can take advantage of the night to camp and ambush in the night of sending ambush soldiers, and Gao Mengyan will definitely not come back. ”

Cao Cao finally gained some confidence, so he ordered to set up camp, and instead of camping, he enlarged the workload and began to build a wall.

And Gao Yuan withdrew to the county seat of Wen County, a neighboring city. After the war, he wiped out more than 5,000 Cao troops and lost 500 of his own losses. One to ten, it can be said that it is a big victory. The failure to succeed was because Cao Cao fought back, and Gao Yuan pursued and killed almost ten times as many enemies as himself.

However, Gao Yuan only had 4,000 cavalry left, and Cao Cao still had more than 30,000 troops, and his passive situation had not been changed.

On the other hand, Cao Jun's side.

Cao Cao, who sat in the big tent of the Chinese army again, had palpitations and was very angry, "My tiger and leopard riding has not been practiced yet, if it is practiced, it must be high and good-looking!" ”

At this time, Cao Hong, who was in charge of the inventory, walked in and said with a tired face: "Lord, our army has lost more than 5,000 people, and the remaining troops are more than 32,000 people. Composed...... General Xu Huang was captured alive by Gao Mengyan. ”

"What?"

This remark is full of uproar.

Cao Cao started from the crusade against Dong Zhuo, fought hundreds of battles, fought with Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Liu Biao, and never lost a general. Just after a formal battle with Gao Yuan, he lost a general and was captured alive.

"Who can capture Xu Huang alive?" Cao Cao said with a chaotic face.

Cao Hong hurriedly said: "I heard from the soldiers that General Xu was injured by that Zhao Zilong and was captured by Zhang Wenyuan. ”

Wenwu sighed for a while, what kind of generals are Zhang Wenyuan and Zhao Zilong, they have a spectrum in their hearts. The heart said that it was no wonder, and at the same time secretly vigilant, although Gao Mengyan would have few generals, but all of them were amazing.

Gao Mengyan, Zhang Wenyuan, Zhao Zilong ....... Didn't I let you write it on the bottom of your robe? When you meet Gao Mengyan, you must not face off! ”

Cao Cao silently pondered, and found that he was a big tent person, aside from Xiahoudun and Xu Chu, and the others were not one, and his eyelids twitched. However, he quickly adjusted his mentality and said, "The courage of the horseman." ”

He said to the advisers in the account: "Gao Mengyan's cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and our army's foot soldiers are really catching up with their footsteps. If you go to attack the cities of Hanoi, Gao Mengyan will definitely continue to attack back and forth, do you have a good way to resist? ”

Guo Jia found that Cao Cao was not blinded by the shadow of defeat, and to the point, Gao Mengyan would definitely come to attack. And his cavalry was fast, and under the constant harassment, his side must have suffered unspeakably, and thus lost the power to seize Hanoi and even Tu Chau.

Guo Jiajin said: "My lord, my subordinates have taken this into account, and we can march into the fortress step by step. First seize the county town of Hanoi, and then take Huguan, the troops entered Jinyang, Gao Mengyan had no soldiers to protect the counties, and his only choice was to retreat to the four counties of the grassland. ”

Cao Cao asked, "What if Gao Mengyan held the city to the death?" He has four or five thousand men and horses, and our army may not be able to break through the city. ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "The lord also said that Gao Mengyan only has four or five thousand soldiers and horses, how many cities can he defend?" What's the use of guarding one? Our army surrounds it and destroys it by capturing other counties. ”

As soon as Cao Cao slapped his forehead, he felt that he might be too careful, so he listened to Guo Jia's advice. From the next day, Cao Cao marched step by step, the fortress. Every day is a square array, with spearmen outside, supplies inside, and the whole army marches like a big hedgehog, and is also guarded at night. And every time they were stationed, they would build a fortress and leave behind five hundred soldiers and horses.

Five hundred soldiers and horses was not a matter for Cao Cao, who had more than 30,000 men, but for Gao Yuan, if he wanted to break through the five hundred people who had a fortress, he would have to pay the same price.

Gao Yuan has few soldiers, so it can't be consumed like this. And Cao Cao's military superiority, the big hedgehog march, made Gao Yuan, who only had 4,000 people, unable to find the opportunity to attack Cao Cao.

Gao Yuan couldn't help but think that it would be good if this was the next generation, Cao Cao dared to march like this, and a burst of artillery bombardment would be done. However, in the era of cold weapons, Gao Yuan faced the hedgehog-like Cao Cao and had nowhere to start.

In just ten days, Gao Yuan lost two county seats. If this continues, Gao Yuan, who has lost his strongholds in various counties in Hanoi, will have no choice but to withdraw from Hanoi.

In late January, the county town of Hanoi is in sight.

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were very anxious and came to see Gao Yuan together.

Zhao Yun was quite worried, "Lord, you can't retreat like this." ”

Gao Yuan also knew that he couldn't retreat like this, and if he retreated, he would withdraw from Hanoi.

After pondering for the past few days, he finally had an idea, so he got up and said: "The herald is ordered to retreat to the garrison of Hanoi County, Zilong, you go and bring all of Sima Yi's family, including his father and all his brothers." ”

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun looked at each other, and couldn't guess what Gao Yuan thought
