Chapter 1188: Take the city
Cao Ren died in battle, Zhao Yun arrived, and the remaining tiger and leopard riders naturally could not escape, although they resisted desperately and a bloody battle broke out, but in the end they were annihilated, leaving not a single soldier.
"Zixiao!" Cao Cao roared sadly, his voice was almost hoarse, he couldn't count how many relatives and friends had left him and died tragically on the battlefield, this was a sea of blood feud, which made him crazy.
"Cao Gong!"
Zhuge Liang sighed, and couldn't find words to persuade him for a while, at this time his face was pale, although the poisonous rain from the sky was powerful, but the consumption was also terrifying, he had no way to hold on for too long: "It is a pity that General Cao Ren died in battle, but this matter has become a settlement, and I hope that the festival will mourn by the way, now we should withdraw, and I am afraid that we will not be able to leave if we don't leave!" ”
Cao Ren was killed in battle, the tiger and leopard cavalry were all wiped out, and the Jizhou ace army and Zhao Yunbian were empty-handed, and if they joined the battle, their own side would be defeated.
This battle was too aggrieved, it was completely calculated by Zhang Fan, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang did not exert 100% ability, and now they have broken the army, and the army is in great disgrace, what can I do?
"I'm not leaving! Fight to the end today! Cao Cao became a little irrational, one after another relatives and friends died in front of him, this pain is heart-wrenching, who can not be crazy?
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly: "Cheng Yu and I can't support it for too long, and now the combat strength of the Jizhou army is still there, and there is an invincible general Zhao Yun, if you continue to fight, you will definitely be defeated, retreat as soon as possible, and fight again in the future!" ”
Cao Cao's eyes were red: "Retreat and retreat, when is the end?" ”
Zhuge Liang was speechless, and he didn't want to retreat, but the situation was like this, if he didn't retreat, he would undoubtedly lose, and if even Cao Cao was defeated, the coalition army would have no hope of turning the tables.
The coalition army has been defeated too many times, lost too many things, and can no longer squander as unscrupulously as before, I still remember how strong the coalition army was when it advanced into the Taihang Mountains, and the persecuted Zhang Fan had to fight bloody battles to resist, and even once attacked Jizhou, it seemed that victory was in sight, but in the end it was still failed for various reasons, and now the Jizhou army is strong, and the coalition army has become the side that retreats everywhere, and Liu Xie's regime is in danger, almost stepping into the Jedi!
"We have no other way now, even if we fight to the death, we have no chance of winning, this time we were calculated, we were not prepared to charge, and even suffered a big defeat from this, not a crime of war, and please Cao Gong judge the situation, don't lose an inch!" Zhuge Liang persuaded hard.
Xun You and Cheng Yu also persuaded each other, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and now the Jizhou army has become a big trend, and Cao Ren's death is tantamount to a huge blow to the coalition army, and if you continue to fight, you will undoubtedly lose, and you will bury the world in vain.
Cao Cao sighed, sighed and sighed, and when he calmed down, he also knew that what Zhuge Liang said was very reasonable, so he didn't say anything more, just waved his hand: "Withdraw!" ”
There were no cruel words, let alone provocations, Cao Cao knew that all this was in vain, he was defeated, this time he was completely calculated, there was no hope of turning the tables, it was useless to say anything, and he was ridiculed in vain.
The coalition retreated, Zhuge Liang and Cheng Yu finally broke out, and endless poisonous rain poured down, making it impossible for the Jizhou army to pursue, and their own side could retreat calmly.
In this battle, the coalition army was defeated, the soldiers were listless, and one by one they were majestic and majestic before they came back, and many people were dazzled, not knowing where the road ahead was, just following the crowd like the walking dead, as if they had no soul.
Cao Cao rode his horse in front, the cold wind was blowing, and it was unbearable, but his heart was even colder, and he was defeated by Zhang Fan again and again, and suffered heavy losses, which made him a little disheartened.
It didn't take long for the army to come to Guandu, but Cao Cao was shocked by what he was anxious about, and there were thousands of corpses piled up at the door.
Looking up again, Cao Cao suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and the person standing on the city wall was not Zhou Yu who had fled?
Zhou Yu stood proudly, his face was still a little pale, but he had more spirit, and the people around him were lined up, Fu Chen, Aoshuang Douxue, etc., all of them sneered, looking at Cao Cao under the city.
"Guandu, lost?" Cao Cao Na, he couldn't believe that in such a short period of time, Guandu had actually changed hands!
Zhuge Liang's face was ugly, the Jiangdong Army should be short of grain and grass, and it was weak, but being able to capture Guandu in such a short period of time shows that its combat power has not decreased much, which makes no sense, why do Zhang Fan and Zhou Yu have grain and grass, and where did these grain and grass come from?
This is an unsolvable problem, even if Zhuge Liang is a god, he would not have expected that Zhang Fan was preparing for the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present, and the original unintentional move has long been brilliant now, which can only be said to be providential, and there is no other explanation.
If Zhang Fan was greedy and directly transported the grain and grass back to Jizhou, or was ruthless and burned it directly, then he would be facing an extremely unfavorable situation now, but now he just took the right move, and he can get such a result, I am afraid that Zhang Fan will wake up with a smile when he dreams.
"Cao Mengde, the blood feud of the Jiangdong Army, I will look for you to avenge it!" Zhou Yu's eyes were sharp, sharp, that defeat made him remember it vividly, countless Jiangdong men died, their hope was carried on themselves, originally this was very heavy, he couldn't find a way to carry it, but the arrival of Fu Chen's arrogant frost and snow made him regain his spirits, with his current combat strength, it is naturally impossible to be Cao Cao's opponent, but with Zhang Fan, everything is possible!
Zhou Yu is also a high-minded and arrogant person, except for Sun Ce, he has hardly served anyone, but now he is completely convinced of Zhang Fan, from a Jizhou to now sitting on the land of several states, even strong people like Cao Cao and Lu Bu have been defeated again and again under his hands, which has to be awe-inspiring and shocking.
When Fu Chen's arrogant frost and snow arrived, saying that there was grain stored in the secret place, Zhou Yu's first reaction was not to believe it, Si Li has always been an enemy-occupied area, how could Zhang Fan bury grain and grass in advance, and how did he choose the location, can he not know the prophet?
When the soil layer was excavated, one after another protective measures impacted Zhou Yu's psychological defense, and in the end, a large amount of grain and grass appeared in front of him, Zhou Yu's whole person was shocked, if Zhang Fan could predict everything, this ability was simply like a god, and if it was just unintentional, it meant that Zhang Fan had the destiny of heaven, no matter which one made Zhou Yu extremely awe-inspired, completely convinced.
The defeat of the coalition army this time was expected by Zhou Yu, the confidant did not know the other, and the undefeated was really a ghost, and he also expected that the coalition army would launch an offensive in the next few days, so he ambushed around Guandu early, and the coalition soldiers and horses just went out of the city and walked away, he launched an attack with lightning speed, and successfully captured Guandu, which was regarded as revenge.
Without Guandu and occupied Zhongmu, the coalition forces have nowhere to retreat, and Chen Liuhua has become a lonely city, which means that the time for counterattack has come!
