Li Dian was not panicked.

As a general under Cao Cao, he has fought in the south and north over the years, and he has also seen the world. Even when the enemy army attacked, he was able to stay calm and continue to lead the troops to fight.

However, some problems cannot be solved by simply responding.

Without the defense of the city, Li Dian commanded 30,000 people, facing Xue Li and Guan Yu to lead their troops to attack, the pressure was huge, such a strong enemy, there were more people, how could it be so simple.

In the camp, Li Dian shouted hoarsely.

wanted to stabilize the morale of the army and continue to confront the enemy, but his soldiers kept dying in battle, and he couldn't support the killing until the end, and Li Dian himself couldn't hold it anymore.

He didn't have the strength of Xue Li and Guan Yu, so he naturally didn't dare to go up directly and charge into battle, so he could only command the soldiers and horses on the side, but the Cao army had been completely suppressed by the enemy.

Before Cao Cao's southern expedition, the elite division in the north with a hundred battles was naturally far superior to the Jingzhou soldiers, but now it is different, the Jingzhou soldiers have improved their combat power and are more elite than before.

And most of the hundred battle divisions under Cao Cao were transferred to Hanzhong, how could they all stay in Xuchang.

For various reasons, Li Dian was unable to continue and fell into disadvantage.

"The enemy army is really determined to take Wancheng, and if it continues to fight, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated."

When he said this, Li Dian was unwilling, but helpless. He is not an immortal, how can he reverse the overall situation, after the fierce battle, he can only retreat now.

Thinking of the end, Li Dian still gave an order.

Cao Jun fled in a hurry.

Xue Li and Guan Yu led the troops in pursuit, and the rest of the generals were also extremely brave.

Anyway, follow Xue Li and Guan Yu around, and just rush to kill with all your might.

In the land of Wancheng, there is no natural danger around, if Li Dian chooses a dangerous place to camp, today's strong attack must not be so simple, but these are not important now.

With Li Dian withdrawing, Xue Li and others won a complete victory.

Guan Yu looked at Xue Li and admired it in his heart, this General Xue is young, and his ability to charge into battle is not trivial, even if he doesn't compare, Guan Yu also has a guess.

This person's strength is by no means below his own.

Moreover, Xue Li is not only strong in martial arts, but also in his deployment and troop deployment.

"General Xue, the retreat of Cao's army in this battle is that we won."

Guan Yu said with a smile.

Xue Li shook his head when he heard this, and said loudly:

"Although the Cao army was defeated this time, the battle is not over yet, and tomorrow we will concentrate all our efforts on attacking Wancheng, and we must not give the defenders in the city a chance to breathe and take it in one fell swoop.

After our army takes Wancheng, most of the Cao army will also raise troops, but as long as we hold the city and have Jingzhou to rely on in the rear, even if the enemy army attacks in the overall situation, there is nothing to fear. ”

Everything was arranged, and the army rested for the night.

The next day, Xue Li prepared to attack again.

Tens of thousands of troops spared no effort and attacked Wancheng in one go. Originally, after these days of fighting, the defenders of Wancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that when reinforcements arrived, they would be able to reverse the situation.

As a result, it was only a day, and the reinforcements were gone first.

Wancheng was once again left alone.

At the same time, the defenders of Wancheng were exhausted, they were helpless, and even desperate.

In the end, after most of the day's hard fighting.

Guan Ping was the first to ascend the tower.

As the son of Guan Yu, Guan Ping's strength is not weak, and among the second generation, he is already among the best.

After capturing the city, Xue Li immediately ordered that there was no crime in the autumn of entering the city.

At the same time, the repair of the city defenses began.

After taking Wancheng, their big task was completed, which was a key node for Liu Qi to go north.

Cao Cao would not let them occupy Wancheng easily.

No one knows whether there will be a large-scale attack by Cao's army at that time.

Before that, they needed to strengthen Wancheng, and they could be at ease in the face of Cao's offensive.

Wait until Liu Qi takes Hanzhong and returns to Jingzhou.

It's not too late to make other decisions.

With their current strength, whether it is to go north to Luoyang or to attack Xuchang in the east, it will be too difficult.

If you go deep into enemy territory, you may go

No return.

The temporary victory is not a reason for them to despise Cao Cao, and it is not that Cao Cao has not fought against the wind, if they take it lightly, they may be the ones who overturn.

In any case, now Cao Cao is the biggest enemy of Liu Qi's side, and no one can ignore him.

Far away in the land of Hanzhong.

Cao Cao attacked Nanzheng, but was still unsuccessful.

On the contrary, Cao Zhang and others returned, and they were attacked by Liu Qi's people, and their defense was unfavorable and they fell into disadvantage.

For Cao Cao, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable.

In the tent.

Cao Cao's face was a little ugly, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Liu Qi's son is really too deceitful, and now Nanzheng has not broken through, and Liu Qi's soldiers and horses will be able to arrive one day, and Nanzheng will be as stable as a rock at that time."

In the big tent, the civil and military ministers had nothing to say.

They also don't know how to cope.

After all, the current situation is too unfavorable for them, Liu Qi has the initiative, and they are in a difficult situation.

In any case, they traveled a long way to attack Hanzhong, and if they could hold the water, they could rely on water transportation to transport grain and grass, but now the waterway is blocked, and they can only take the land route.

What's even more uncomfortable is that the grain and grass that Zhao Yan collected with great difficulty was robbed by Liu Qi's people. made Cao Cao's already bad situation even worse.

In fact, until now, some people have tried to persuade Cao Cao to withdraw from the army, but seeing Cao Cao's cold and depressed look, they didn't dare to speak easily, for fear of annoying Cao Cao.

At this moment, Cao Cao is a little superior.

He ordered the three armies to attack the city with all their might, at all costs.

Facts have proved that such a fierce offensive did cause a lot of losses to the defenders in the city, but Cao Cao's losses were even greater.

If you can break the city, forget it.

The problem is, at the current pace, it will take a few days to complete the all-out assault!

But Liu Qi is coming soon.

This means that Cao Cao's previous efforts will be ruined.

All the foreshadowing was in vain.

How willing is this.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried and hurried footsteps, causing everyone to look at each other.

A messenger rushed in and shouted:

"Prime Minister, there is an urgent report from Xuchang."

Xuchang?

At this moment, everyone's faces changed, and they all became vigilant.

Compared with Hanzhong, Xuchang is Cao Cao's base camp, where the Son of Heaven is, and the foundation belongs!

Even Cao Cao was not calm, he said eagerly:

"Where is the urgent report, submit it quickly!"

This is an urgent report written by Xun Yu himself.

Seeing the above content, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, his face was unprecedentedly ugly, and he said in a deep voice:

"This Zhuge villager, it's really calculating!"

Xun You asked in astonishment:

"Prime Minister, what happened to Xuchang?"

Cao Cao exhaled a breath of turbid air and said:

"Xun Lingjun news, Jingzhou and Jiangdong are marching together, wanting to take Wancheng and Hefei!"
