Huang Xu made a move in Fu Li, and Xu Huang was not reconciled, and then Xu Huang, who had established a logistics point, went west to Hongxian County, and the Hongxian guard was just a little-known little person, where was Xu Huang's opponent, and after less than two days, Xu Huang forcibly landed in the city and broke the city.

The fall of Fuli and Hongxian meant that Fang Zhiwen began to move from the eastern front, and the thin defense line of Cao Cao's eastern front was now far away

Fang Zhiwen had two choices, one was to completely tear apart the defense of the eastern front, and then besiege Qian County in multiple ways, and the other option was to follow the relatively weak defense line of the southern road, drive all the way straight forward, separate Qian County and Huainan, and then slowly encircle and annihilate Huainan, and then cut off Runan, and completely surround Cao Cao in Qian County and slowly clean up.

And Fang Zhiwen finally slowed down from Pengcheng, Fang Zhiwen's cavalry marched west from Pengcheng, and the target was directly aimed at the back road of Pei County, Zhuqiu, in fact, this is Fang Zhiwen's power, Zhuqiu has always been threatened by Pengcheng's side, Cao Cao wants to defend Pei County, and Zhuqiu can't help but defend carefully.

Cao Cao thought that Fang Zhiwen only had cavalry troops in his hands, so his ability to attack the fortifications would be relatively poor, of course, Peng Cheng would not say anything, it was definitely a stupid decision to let Zhenrong that stupid guy defend Peng Cheng, Zhuqiu is now guarded by Lejin, presumably Fang Zhiwen will not be able to take it for a while. This is the reason why Cao Cao chose to lay out a defensive line in Pei County, instead of retreating to Zhuqiu and Xiangxian, no matter what, Cao Cao's self-confidence is still there. will not be frightened by Fang Zhiwen's name and flee in panic.

It's just that confidence may not be able to replace strength, although Fang Zhiwen led the cavalry. But this doesn't mean that he doesn't have the ability to attack tough problems, if Cao Cao knew the details of Fang Zhiwen's break with Peng Cheng, maybe he wouldn't be so confident. What's more, Fang Zhiwen has been stranded in Pengcheng for so long, and the follow-up Inhuman troops have all gathered in Pengcheng to prepare for the war, and now that Fang Zhiwen is leading the army, these Inhumans have followed one after another, regardless of whether they have received a task or not. Following Fang Zhiwen can make a fortune, this is already the consensus of different people, not to mention that this time Fang Zhiwen seems to be facing Cao Cao, a shocking battle, it is definitely not to be missed.

A large number of Inhumans, coupled with a strong attacking force, is for the second-level town of Zhuqiu. It is definitely a very dangerous enemy, so dangerous that Lejin only defended for a day, and then felt that he couldn't do it, so he hurriedly reported the situation of Zhuqiu to Cao Cao, Cao Cao received the battle report, and read it carefully several times. In the end, I have to admit that Lejin alone will never be able to hold Zhuqiu.

Cao Cao decided to abandon Peixian and retreat to Zhuqiu, and re-establish the defensive line in Zhuqiu and Xiangxian.

Cao Cao is a large army, and it is impossible to hide his traces at all, even at night, so Cao Cao simply waited until broad daylight to set off, and the large army assembled in formation. Then slowly retreated along the straight road in the direction of Zhuqiu, flanked by the cavalry of Cao Ren and Yan Xing.

Although the road has been potholed by strangers, it is impossible to walk fast at all, but Cao Cao in order to maintain the formation, it is impossible to go fast, so he walked forward while building the road, and only walked twenty miles in half a day, at this time, Fang Zhiwen's cavalry arrived, followed by a large number of strangers.

Fang Zhiwen swaggered on and around the road ahead, letting the aliens dig the trap, and then set up a trebuchet position on the small hill on the east side of the road, clearly blocking the road, and then forcing Cao Cao to fight a decisive battle in the field, and Yan Liang and Gao Gan behind Cao Cao also followed, they were not in a hurry, they just followed in the distance, like two hungry wolves watching on the side.

Cao Cao and Fang Zhiwen have not fought once or twice, he knows that in front of Fang Zhiwen, it is best not to think about winning by surprise, his several failures are all failures because he thinks he is smarter than Fang Zhiwen, therefore, Cao Cao decided to just fight in a dignified manner, and push forward step by step.

Although the trebuchet is very scary, the formation defense is not impossible to deal with, and losses are certainly inevitable, and the focus now is to bring the troops back to Zhuqiu smoothly.

The battle began, but the battle scene seemed a little boring, Fang Zhiwen guarded under the hill of the trebuchet position, preventing Cao Ren and Yan Xing from raiding his long-range position, Yan Liang's cavalry also moved to the east side of Cao's army, helping Fang Zhiwen to contain Cao's cavalry, while Cao Cao used heavy infantry to withstand the blow of the trebuchet, advancing towards the trap area, while filling the trap while moving forward, strictly speaking, this is not a battle at all, more like a one-sided attack.

When Cao Cao's army threw down a lot of corpses and advanced to the bottom of the hill, it would be hit by more intensive bows and arrows, fortunately, Cao Jun's troop bonus was really good, and the heavy infantry had a defensive advantage, relying on a huge number, it was still able to break through Fang Zhiwen's blockade, and Fang Zhiwen didn't seem to have the intention of fighting a decisive battle at any cost.

So, the trebuchet position withdrew, but they did not retreat, but retreated a few miles, and began to arrange the same position, Cao Cao painfully found that every time he took a step forward, he had to throw down a lot of soldiers' corpses, which was not only a matter of cost, but more importantly, the morale of the troops was seriously hit.

Just walked around and fought, and finally it was dark, and Cao Cao couldn't walk, but he didn't dare to set up camp, because he knew that even if he set up camp, it would definitely be difficult tonight, rather than being endlessly harassed by the other party, it was better to advance to Zhuqiu overnight, according to the current speed, it should be possible to reach Zhuqiu at dawn.

However, after nightfall, Fang Zhiwen changed his style of play, and the trebuchet's attacks were still endless, but the cavalry that was not very active during the day began to be active, these cavalry were wandering around, Cao Cao could not tell where Yan Liang's troops were and where Fang Zhiwen's troops were, Cao Ren and Yan Xing only knew who the opponent was when they entered the range of each other, but at this time, they would be bitten hard by Fang Zhiwen.

Cao Ren had always thought that Fang Zhiwen's heavy crossbow cavalry could not do anything with his own heavy cavalry during the day, but at night he knew that Fang Zhiwen could definitely deal with his heavy cavalry, and the method was very simple, that is, to shoot horse legs, Cao Ren couldn't imagine at all, how could there be so many accurate archers in Fang Zhiwen's troops, and ninety percent of the two or three thousand troops he lost were killed when they fell off their horses.

Then, Gao Gan and Yan Liang's infantry also began to join the battle, Cao Cao really didn't dare to attack in the dark night, although he also knew that this was an opportunity to counterattack Yuan Shaojun, but in the same way, it could also be a trap, and the other party was also waiting for him to jump in! This is the sadness of playing against Fang Zhiwen, you have to see through everything he imagines, and as a result, you can't do anything but defend and attack in an upright manner.

"Don't shoot, it's your own 1

Players who are ambushed in the field block their companions.

"How do you know it's your own people? It's so dark, we can't see clearly, anyway, when we see a figure, we shoot 1

"Stupid, don't you look at your own minimap, your own people are all green dots, and the enemy army is red or not shown 1

"Why is this happening?"

"I said, can you rookies study hard and then play night battles! Before the battle begins, allies are expected to take a picture of each other, so that their location will be marked on their minimap, indicated by green dots. The enemy that has not been photographed is not marked, and if it passes in front of us once and reappears, it is a red mark. ”

"Oh, it turns out that there is still this skill in night fighting, and I learned 1

"This is common sense, the clerk will give you an explanation when he sends the task."

"I took the task in front of the bulletin board1

"There is also an explanation in the taskbar, and the mission description of Youzhou is very detailed."

"Uh, didn't look at 1

"So a rookie is a rookie, and the most annoying thing is that you don't read the mission description carefully, it's all very important things, okay1

"I know, I can't see it in the future! Someone is coming again, this time it's enemy troops1

"Don't shoot, there are so many of them, are you looking for death1

Similar player squads are distributed in all corners of the battlefield, their task is to shoot cold arrows, of course, there is a more important thing, that is, to become a living coordinate point, Fang Zhiwen is using these coordinate points and omnipresent eyes, closely watching every change on the battlefield, timely mobilization of troops to attack or avoid, and it is the young He Qi who is responsible for all this.

Cao Cao's head hurts, the whole battlefield is an intricate and chaotic battle, Fang Zhiwen tried his best to make the battlefield more chaotic, and Cao Cao tried his best to simplify the battlefield, the two of them just fought each other without meeting, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Fang Zhiwen has the advantage.

"Lord, Fang Zhiwen is not afraid of losses, this is different from us, Yuan Shao's troop losses don't matter to him at all, as for the aliens, he doesn't care at all, so he can let go of his hands and feet, we are just the opposite, and it is naturally difficult to fight."

Yan Xiang's words were excusing Cao Cao, Cao Cao also knew in his heart, but after hearing this, his heart was still a lot easier, Xi Zhicai pursed his lips and did not speak, this battle is actually not difficult to fight, as long as they are hugged together, Fang Zhiwen's group of wild wolves can tear a few pieces of flesh from their bodies at most, and it is impossible to break their muscles and bones.

Therefore, Xi Zhicai's attention has not been on this battle, this is not his area of expertise, he is more concerned about the overall situation of the whole war, now Cao Cao's situation is very bad, even if this battle is fought well, it is impossible to fundamentally change the whole bad situation, and Xi Zhicai is thinking about it, it is how to completely get rid of the current terrible situation.

Cao Cao rode on his horse and rubbed his numb waist and buttocks, and turned his head to look around, but what could he see in this dark night except for the dotted torches.

Cao Cao's eyes fell on Xi Zhicai's body, his lips moved, and he still didn't make a sound in the end.

"Someone! The herald ordered the troops to shrink as much as possible, maintain a good formation, do not pursue the enemy, and the rear army should maintain a defensive nature of engagement, and the vehicle formation should be used well, and pay attention to fire prevention1

"No1

"Not far off, tell the soldiers that the hill is already in sight, and that it is time to work harder, and the enemy's conspiracy will fail.1

"No1 is to be continued...
