A night attack by Zhang Jaw made Cao Cao start to have a headache, in fact, the casualties of Cao Jun were only thousands, and Zhang Jaw also paid the same price, but Zhang Jaw's purpose was achieved, some of the peripheral Cao troops had nowhere to live, and they were struggling to persist under the cold weather, while the other people could not sleep well, lest they be attacked here, after all, Zhang Fan was the originator of many attacks on the camp, and it was difficult to guarantee that Zhang Jaw would not be paralyzed first, and then the army would attack.

Cao Cao sent sentries here to inspect the periphery, but Zhang Jaw did not go far, so that most of the cavalry retreated first, and he and Gao Ran led hundreds of men and horses to be active in the periphery, hunting these sentinels out of the camp one by one, which was equivalent to pulling out Cao Cao's eyeliner, making Cao Cao's eyes black, and he couldn't tell whether what Zhang Jaw said was true or false, so he could only be on strict guard to prevent trouble.

In fact, Cao Cao is also helpless, open his jaw is so a little bit of men and horses, and they are all cavalry, it is difficult to annihilate them all, if you really want to attack, it will consume too much energy of the army, tomorrow's siege battle will be more difficult, and you must always be on guard if you don't go out, which also consumes manpower, but relatively speaking, it is better not to go out, anyway, you only need to be fully prepared, it is impossible for Zhang Jaw to really achieve results, and some people can rest and recover their mental and physical strength.

It can be said that the purpose of this battle has been completely achieved, a little weakening is also weakening, his strategy is successful, making it difficult for Cao Jun to play his full strength, and it will become easier to defend the city, and as long as he holds for two or three more days, Jizhou's reinforcements will inevitably arrive, and he will not be afraid of Cao **** at that time.

Early in the morning of the second day, Cao Cao did his best to rush to Dong'e as soon as possible, but unfortunately Dong'e was indeed empty, and he couldn't even see a ghost, Cao Cao cost countless lives, although he successfully captured Dong'e, but he was not happy at all, his rhythm was completely disrupted, and a sense of powerlessness arose, and he retreated too decisively, so that Cao Cao punched in the air, which was the most uncomfortable.

When Cao Jun came to Dong'e, he saw that the corpses of friendly soldiers everywhere were unrestrained, and they had already stiffened in the cold wind, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of sympathy for the same disease, and his morale was stagnant, what was all this for?

A city in front of you seems to be within reach, so why pay such a heavy price? Is it worth it?

The soldiers did not have the mind of Cao Cao and others, did not understand the key, and last night's rest was not good, at this time it seemed a little sluggish, Cao Cao frowned when he saw this, took a step forward, pulled out his magic arrow "Tianxia", and pointed to the sky: "Now we have reached a crisis point, but the Jizhou army is not having a good time, Zhang Jaw retreats without a fight, obviously has been frightened, just take advantage of the victory to pursue, we can drive the Jizhou army out of our homeland, so that these loyal souls will not die in vain!" All the soldiers listen to my orders, and the goal is Jinan! ”

"This will be the last battle, if you win, you will clear Qingzhou, and drive the Jizhou army back to your hometown, and if you lose, you will never recover, all the deaths will be in vain, the loyal soul will cry blood, and the world will mourn together!"

"I want to fight, what about you? Are you willing to avenge your brothers who died in battle, and are you willing to fight for this world? ”

I have to say that Cao Cao's inspiring means are still very strong, and a fanatical light appeared in the eyes of Sergeant Cao, and at the same time raised the blade in his hand: "Fight!" War! War! ”

Finally found a little morale, Cao Cao did not dare to slack off, immediately led the army to Jinan, Jinan's city defense is one level higher than Dong'e, it is a giant city level, the city is high and the wall is thick, it is very difficult to attack, and there are more than 100,000 Jizhou defenders in the city, the general Zhang Jaw, Gao Shun, Bao Xin jointly led, as long as the city field battle, such strength can be called terrifying.

Cao's army is the elite, but the defenders occupy a favorable position in the siege war, which invisibly weakens this point and pulls it into a balanced state, and as long as they are willing to suppress it, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren are also difficult to get close to and cannot pose a threat, which is an extremely advantageous condition, and Cao Cao may not be so simple if he wants to break the city.

But Cao Cao has no way out, and now it is impossible to rush back to Yanzhou, and now he can only grasp the situation in Qingzhou, hoping that everything will go as he wishes.

There was no nonsense, the siege war continued to break out, Cao Cao was already desperate, as soon as he shot with all his strength, dozens of catapults were pulled out, the soldiers charged, and the generals rushed forward, bringing huge pressure to the defenders of Jinan.

Bao Xin is responsible for guarding here, his force is not too strong, but the strategy is not weak, with him here, open his jaw can completely let go of his hands and feet, running on the four city walls, but anyone who dares to enter the city is swept out with a shot, devastated.

In fact, as long as it is not out of the city to fight, the Jizhou army still has the strength to fight, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren's force is difficult to play, although the Cao army is brave, but there is nothing to be done for a while, this is a war of attrition, it depends on who can survive to the end.

The battle was fierce, blood was flying, gunsmoke was everywhere, boulders were flying, Cao Cao failed to capture the city after all, so he could only retreat to Dong'e and wait for tomorrow to fight again.

"A day has passed, and I always feel like there is a sharp knife hanging over my head, and it will fall at any time!" Cao Cao looked a little anxious, the Jizhou army was too tenacious, there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, if it went on like this, Jinan could hold at least three days, with Xu Shu's resourcefulness, how could the Jizhou army cross the river, then Cao Cao would have no chance.

"The lord is not good, now after all, we take the initiative, if we don't send people to Yanzhou, then Qingzhou has no worries at all, and can start a fierce battle, and if he really makes people enterprising, with a heart or not, General Yu Ban will not disgrace his mission, the overall situation is still okay, but it is not so casual!" Xun Yu comforted.

Even so, Cao Cao's heart is always uncertain, he clearly knows that if Zhang Fan really has the heart to do something to Yanzhou, it is naturally impossible to count on Tao Qian alone, Zhou Yu's Jiangdong army will definitely help, and Zhou Yu is a person with great wisdom, although the previous battle was suppressed, but it was enough to make Cao Cao frightened, he was really afraid that Yu Ban would miss, which would be a catastrophe for him.

The war on both sides is still a little too reluctant, Cao's army is full of more than 600,000 troops, Qingzhou has 400,000 horses, Yanzhou only 200,000, the pressure on these 200,000 people is extremely great, and failure will not be allowed, but fortunately, their own side is calculated, and the enemy army is very likely to be calculated, so the chance of victory there is the greatest, if Yanzhou can win, even if the Qingzhou offensive is frustrated, it doesn't matter, but if it ......

Cao Cao didn't dare to think about it anymore, he now can only hope for Yu Ban, employing people without suspicion and suspicion, Yu Ban This person is still trustworthy, both sides work hard and fight for their lives!

In this battle, there is really no room for failure!
