Cao Ang gave an order and asked Xiahou Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Xiahoudun naturally saw the Black Mountain Army, and knew that if he continued to fight, he was afraid that the Black Mountain Army would take advantage of the fisherman.

So Xiahoudun did not hesitate at all, and directly asked Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Cao Ang glanced at Yuan Shao from a distance, knowing that he couldn't kill the other party this time, and couldn't help but secretly cry out a pity.

Cao Chun on the other side, after defeating Baima Yicong, wanted to go one step further and kill Gongsun Zhan.

But after hearing the sound of Mingjin, after hesitating for a moment, he still began to retreat with the tiger and leopard horse.

Cao Ang gave up chasing Yuan Shao and went to help Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong instead.

After Zhao Yun killed Yan Liang, he went to help Huang Zhong attack Wen Chou.

But Wen Chou was frightened at this time, and galloped all the way, Rao is Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong together, and they didn't catch up with each other.

Cao Ang looked at Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, who were about to fall into a heavy siege, and directly rushed over with a team of light cavalry, and shouted at the same time: "Zilong, Han Sheng, poor Kou Mo chase, retreat first!" ”

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong did not mean to disobey Cao Ang, and directly grabbed the reins, turned the horse's head, and joined Cao Ang.

Gradually, the armies of both sides dispersed and retreated.

At this time, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan had also converged.

Looking at the corpse not far away, Gongsun Zhan's face was like ashes.

This white horse is obedient, but the hard work of his first half of his life was directly defeated and the whole army was wiped out.

Now he wants no territory, he wants soldiers and horses to have money and food, and he has no soldiers and horses to pay for food, how can he be called a prince all the way?

Unlike him, Yuan Shao had just calmed down at this time, after all, the scene of Cao Ang chasing him just now almost scared his guts.

At this time, he was lucky enough to escape his life, but he still had palpitations, and he didn't care about the abnormality of Gongsun Chan next to him.

And after Zhang Yan arrived at the battlefield with the Black Mountain Army, he was relieved to see the Cao family retreating.

In his heart, he still didn't want to fight Cao Jun.

After all, he had heard of Cao Jun's reputation for being brave and good at fighting, and if he fought with him, he was afraid that he would suffer heavy losses.

As the leader of the Montenegrin Army, Zhang Yan naturally thinks about his own interests the most.

If he himself suffered heavy losses in this battle, then even if he repelled the Cao army, then he would lose his foothold in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Yan saw that the Cao army had begun to retreat, so he directly ordered the army to stop and not pursue the Cao army.

On Cao Ang's side, the army retreated, and he personally took Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, as well as more than 10,000 men and horses.

Looking at the Montenegrin army that stopped in the distance, Cao Ang frowned slightly: "This Montenegrin army is also knowledgeable, and it didn't pursue us." ”

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong on the side nodded sympathetically, they were already a little tired at this time, if they fought again, they were afraid that they would be injured or even killed.

The Montenegrin army stopped, and the Cao army led by Cao Ang retreated without danger.

After returning to the barracks, Cao Ang began to ask people to count the soldiers and horses lost in the battle.

Not a single member of the 3,000 tiger and leopard cavalry was lost, but the ordinary soldiers lost a lot.

Although this battle was a decisive battle, both sides invested about 50,000 soldiers and horses on the battlefield.

Cao Jun's casualties were about 5,000, and the wounded soldiers were close to 20,000, and Cao Angzhi frowned when he heard it.

This can be called the heaviest battle for the Cao army.

"Keep a record of the fallen soldiers, and when they return, treat their families well and give them a generous pension."

Cao Ang gave a faint order, he knew in his heart that even if he was in a generous pension, he would inevitably suffer the grief of the families of the fallen soldiers.

But if you want to end this troubled world, it is impossible not to fight.

In this era of treating human life as a mustard, Cao Ang can treat soldiers and their families well, which is enough to be called a master.

……

On the other side, Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao looked at the retreating Cao Jun and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

And Zhang Yan let Yang Feng and others stay after letting the Black Mountain Army stop in place, and he came to Yuan Shao with Yu Poison.

"Zhang Yan has seen Yuan Taishou." Zhang Yan arched his hand at Yuan Shao.

At this time, Yuan Shao also slowly came back to his senses, and returned the salute to Zhang Yan: "Wash General Zhang more to help." ”

Subsequently, Zhang Yan greeted Gongsun Chan again, and after everyone exchanged pleasantries, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan led the army back to Wei County City.

And Zhang Yan led people and was stationed in the northwest of Wei County City.

After Yuan Shao returned to the city, he immediately asked people to count the losses in this battle.

It was learned that of the 50,000 troops thrown into the battlefield, nearly 20,000 were killed, 3,000 were seriously wounded, and 10,000 were lightly wounded.

After hearing about the casualties, Yuan Shao almost vomited blood in anger.

In this battle, he lost more than half of his army, so how can this battle be fought?

The strength of Cao's army was already several times that of Yuan's army.

If it continues to fight like this, it won't take a few times, and Yuan Jun will be defeated.

Yuan Shao looked at these casualties and couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Black Mountain Army, I'm afraid that in this battle, our entire army would have been wiped out." ”

Thinking of the scene where Cao Ang led people to chase and kill him, Yuan Shao couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

As for Gongsun Chan on the side, his face was even more ugly than Yuan Shao.

Although Gongsun Chan escaped death, he was caught off guard by the tiger and leopard rider with new equipment, and the white horse under his command was wiped out from the whole army.

There are only some remnants of the infantry left, and he is still called General White Horse.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Chan hated Cao Ang's itchy teeth.

At this time, Zhang Yan settled his subordinates and also entered the city.

"Yuan Taishou, Gongsun Taishou." Zhang Yan said hello to the two of them.

The two also returned the gift.

At this time, Yuan Shao couldn't help but think of Xu You, so he couldn't help but ask: "General Feiyan, I don't know where Xu You Xu Ziyuan, who I sent to invite you out of the mountain, went?" ”

Zhang Yan smiled when he heard this: "Yuan Taishou don't have to worry, I heard that your army is short of food and grass, so I asked Mr. Xu to lead the troops, escort the grain and grass, take another way, calculate the time, he should almost come back." ”

When Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao were greeting each other, Gongsun Zhan on the side was silent.

……

In the evening, Zhang Yan left the city of Wei County and returned to his military village.

In Cao Angjun's army, after discussing meritorious deeds, he began to discuss post-war matters.

Everyone was in the big tent, discussing how this battle should be fought next.

Xiahoudun is a fiery person, and he didn't do anything during the day, so his hands are itchy and tight at this time.

"Major General, the last general thinks that today's big victory during the day should be pursued and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan should be completely wiped out."

Xiahou Yuan was also in the camp at this time, nodding silently and supporting his brother.
