Zhang Zhiyuan soon found that they were in a dilemma, Cao Cao was staring at the front, Zhang Zhiyuan did not dare to counterattack the rear camp with all his might, and there were still cavalry of Cao's army in the rear camp, and Zhang Zhiyuan could not let go of the use of long-range troops to raid the rear camp.

However, if the rear battalion was not recaptured, Zhang Zhiyuan's front battalion would fall into a state of being attacked on both sides, and what was even worse was that the loss of the rear battalion lost a large amount of grain and grass materials, and cut off Zhang Zhiyuan's logistics channel, so that Zhang Zhiyuan's army could face the possibility of running out of food at any time.

After a round of urgent consultations, Zhang Zhiyuan had two plans in front of him, one was to ask Zhao Yun for help, as long as Zhao Yun's cavalry could appear on the Lu'an battlefield, Cao's cavalry would not be able to play a role, and Zhang Zhiyuan would be able to easily take back the rear camp and reopen his logistics line.

The other option is to take the rear camp with all its strength regardless of the front battalion, completely annihilate Li Dian's heavy infantry, and at the same time use his own cavalry to fight Cao Cao's cavalry, the loss of this choice must be huge, but again, Cao Cao will also have huge losses.

After Zhang Zhiyuan was in a dilemma for a while, he still decided to use the latter plan, because he had no way to determine whether Zhao Yun would come, and when he would come. Instead of pinning your hopes on others, it is better to save yourself.

Resolved to fight. Zhang Yuanzhi immediately dispatched troops, first the cavalry attacked from the back door, and Cao Cao's cavalry started a tug-of-war near the camp, and then slowly pushed out the infantry, these infantry were all soldiers of the rear battalion. There will be no impact on the combat effectiveness of the front battalion.

The infantry provided fire support to the cavalry with crossbow arrows. The cavalry was responsible for protecting the flanks of the infantry from the enemy's cavalry, which slowly squeezed Cao's troops to both sides of the passage between the front and rear camps, and then the infantry slowly moved to the sides. Traps and horses were placed around the infantry formation to free the cavalry, and then the new infantry regiment rolled forward, pushing the line forward little by little.

Cao Cao was also quite helpless when he received a report on the battle situation. The infantry could only be used to press up from the front of the front battalion, forcing the enemy to not attack the rear camp with all their might, but now it was daytime, and the players could accurately observe the position of the Cao army, and the long-range weapons in the camp immediately exerted their power, making the Cao army restrained, and the attack power was naturally greatly reduced.

Zhang Yuanzhi's infantry, on the other hand, established a solid position on a passage of more than a mile, and then deployed long-range weapons within range. began to bomb the rear camp indiscriminately, and Cao Cao was depressed at this time.

Li Dian could only be beaten with his head down, which was obviously not a problem.

Cao Cao made a decision and ordered Li Dian to evacuate the rear camp and retreat five miles to establish the camp again. And Xu Chu cooperated to protect Li Dian and set up camps.

Zhang Zhiyuan got his wish and took back the back camp, Cao Cao surprisingly did not fight hard with the player, but withdrew in time, but then Zhang Yuanzhi got the information. Li Dian's troops were encamped five miles away, and were still stuck on his logistics line. Of course, Li Dian's logistics line is also stuck by the player, but Cao Cao's cavalry is obviously more powerful than the player's cavalry.

Because the distance has become larger, Zhang Yuanzhi has no way to use the fortress battle just now, even if he can use it and force Li Dian to retreat again, Li Dian may not be able to set up camp again a few miles away, and once his rear camp is too far away from the main camp, he will be attacked by Cao Cao at will, and then it will be a pattern of various breakdowns.

The current situation is that Zhang Zhiyuan is unable to attack, and Cao Cao cannot capture Zhang Zhiyuan's camp, but the time factor that was originally favorable to Zhang Zhiyuan has now become beneficial to Cao Cao, this is the victory of Cao Cao's tactics, if it drags on, Zhang Zhiyuan's troops will be defeated after a few days, and then Cao Cao will come to pick up the spoils and capture the prisoners.

At this moment, Zhang Zhiyuan had to ask Zhao Yun for help.

Zhao Yun was outside Bo'an City at the moment, looking at the hungry people who couldn't see the edge in a daze, he was also very depressed!

Cao Cao was ruthless enough, and when the troops withdrew, he expelled all the residents from the city, and when Zhao Yun entered the city, he found that there were fires everywhere, and he was about to send people to clean it up, and the aliens who stayed in the city set the whole city on fire.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun's troops did not enter the city, Zhao Yun bypassed the burning city, and saw scattered residents, and then more and more residents returned from the north, it turned out that Cao Jun drove them back again, and ran away with grain and grass first, Zhao Yun was furious and chased for a long time, but because the terrain was not good, he did not catch up, and only grabbed back a small part of the grain and grass.

Back in Bo'an City, the fire has not been extinguished, but the tens of thousands of people gathered outside the city are waiting to be fed. In this case, in fact, the best way is to turn around early, no longer care about these people, and let these people fend for themselves, at least, this account will still be counted on Cao Cao's head, once he takes over the management, he doesn't care, this bad debt is Zhao Yun's.

Zhao Yun had no choice but to explain the current situation to the people, and then distribute the last bit of food to the people, so that the people could eat first, and then immediately hit the road, approaching the Lishan camp in the south.

As long as we can get through the most difficult period tomorrow, as we get closer and closer to the Lishan camp, this crisis will be over.

Who knows that he received a letter of help from Zhang Zhiyuan after only walking for half a day, of course Xu Shu knows what Zhang Zhiyuan's current situation is, but now the nearly 50,000 people in front of him are no longer a matter of interests or interests, but a moral responsibility, if these people have a mistake, Zhao Yun and Xu Shu's reputation will stink, but it will affect Fang Zhiwen's reputation.

But. Zhang Zhiyuan's side can't see death without help, if Zhang Zhiyuan is defeated, Sun Jian's side will naturally not be able to continue, but Cao Cao's strength has not been weakened as necessary, which is tantamount to a strategic failure. This is unacceptable to Xu Shu.

"Zilong. What do you think? ”

Xu Shu frowned and asked, Zhao Yun looked at Xu Shu's tangled face, obviously, Xu Shu hoped that he would rescue Zhang Zhiyuan is victims in front of him, but he couldn't give up.

"Yuan Zhi, what is Cao Cao's cavalry strength in Lu'an in your intelligence? It's best to even estimate the Inhumans. ”

"Well, the cavalry of Cao Cao's headquarters is 22,000, Cao Cao himself has a light cavalry guard, the number of which is 2,000, and the cavalry force of the aliens is nearly 12,000. That's the amount up to yesterday. If a battle broke out between the cavalry on both sides last night and this morning, there may be some attrition, but the number is difficult to estimate. ”

"Cao Cao's guards can't go into battle, they must be kept as reserves, and then, a total of 34,000 cavalry troops, against Zhang Zhiyuan's 30,000 cavalry, the advantage is there, but it is not very big. I think I can only go with 2,000 guards, our purpose is to make Zhang Zhiyuan logistically equal to Cao's army, as long as we ensure that Zhang Zhiyuan can get a minimum of supplies, then there will be a stalemate on the battlefield of Lu'an. ”

"I was going to do that. The only concern is Zilong, is your 2,000 people enough? ”

"Hehe, if it is a serious annihilation of the enemy, it must be a little reluctant, not to mention that the opponent is also a military general who is about to be the eighth order, but if it is just to disturb the enemy and protect logistics. The strength exerted by these two thousand men is enough to draw the opponent's one or two thousand cavalry, and so on. The logistical level of both sides is leveled. ”

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Very good, in this way, when I join General Huang Zu here, I will be able to take the rest of the cavalry and join forces with Zilong." ”

"According to the current itinerary, about two days later, I can meet with Huang Zuhuishi, and I will have to go to Lu'an for two days, if the weather does not change, I can stick around Lu'an for three days, and we will solve it ourselves in terms of grain and grass, how can two thousand people last for a few days, it is really not possible to go to Cao Cao to grab it."

Xu Shu discussed some details with Zhao Yun again, and tried his best to replenish Zhao Yun's troops with arrows and grain and grass, and Zhao Yun turned northeast overnight with two thousand guards.

With Zhao Yun's reply, Zhang Zhiyuan felt a lot more at ease, although Zhao Yun could not send many troops, but as long as he could offset the cavalry advantage of the Cao army on the battlefield, Zhang Zhiyuan's logistics would be able to come up, and when the logistics came up, Zhang Zhiyuan would have no worries, so that time would be beneficial to Zhang Zhiyuan again.

In fact, everyone is competing for two or three days.

Zhang Zhiyuan's steady and steady fight made Cao Cao a little confused, but it was impossible for Cao Cao to know what Zhao Yun was coming, and the information Cao Cao got was that Zhao Yun was leading a group of hungry and cold people, desperately rushing to the south, wanting to arrive at the Lishan camp before starving to death.

Therefore, for Zhang Zhiyuan's calm approach, Cao Cao added twelve points of caution, for fear that Zhang Zhiyuan would have some conspiracy, but the night passed, except for a small cavalry battle on the periphery of the camp, there was no major battle between the two sides, Li Dian's camp was also very safe, and the scouts sent by Li Dian to the south did not find any trace of the Inhuman supply troops.

The next day, the weather was still gloomy, but there was no snow, and the camp of the Inhumans was as heavily guarded as ever, but in addition to the cavalry rushing in and out from time to time, the infantry did not have the posture to be dispatched at all, but strengthened the camp in the camp, Cao Cao was depressed, what did this Zhang Zhiyuan want to do? Isn't he afraid of running out of food? Or does he still have a lot of food in stock? Or does he want to numb himself and then slam himself in the moment when he relaxes?

In Cao Cao's confusion and incomprehension, a day and a night passed so peacefully, and on the morning of three days, Cao Cao, who had just gotten up and was still in a daze, received an urgent battle report, and then, he was completely awake with fright!

This morning, a small supply force was raided by the enemy's 2,000 cavalry when it went to Li Dian's camp, and the troops were all wiped out, and then, this 2,000-strong force encountered Xu Chu's cavalry, but Xu Chu did not catch up with the enemy, but was pinned down by the enemy and caused huge damage, and Xu Chu had to retreat to the vicinity of Li Dian's camp.

According to Li Dian's judgment, the archers on the opposite side may be Zhao Yun and his guards.

The worst happened, Zhao Yun is here!
