But when the news came that Hu Pass had been breached, everything changed. Cheng Yu only had one thought left, which was to make a last stand and fight like a trapped beast.
When the Han army broke through Huguan, he also broke through Hedong, cutting off the Han army's retreat. Because of this idea, Cheng Yu ordered a fierce attack.
At that time, Cheng Yu's confidence suffered an unprecedented blow, and he could be said to be at the lowest point in his life.
And what happened after that? Eighty thousand Wei troops and the elite Yan army launched a fierce attack on the Anyi city for four days and four nights. Finally, the city was broken.
What kind of situation is this? Cheng Yu re-established the confidence that he had previously consumed.[
It can be said that during this war, Cheng Yu went from being high-spirited, to decadent, to his confidence about to collapse, to then to establishing incomparable confidence.
It went through an indescribable process.
In the end, it seemed that he was about to succeed, but failed again. Cheng Yu's confidence had been shattered. When the news of the arrival of the Han army came, it was completely shattered.
Shattered into dust.
This was a blow, an unprecedented blow. This was an unprecedented experience for Cheng Yu, one of the five great advisers of Cao Wei, and a severe blow.
A blow that could crush him.
Therefore, while Yu Jin, Gongsun Ao, and Yan Zhong recovered one after another, Cheng Yu's face changed from livid, to pale, to finally shaky.
It's almost impossible to stand on one's own feet.
"gentlemen."
Yu Jin was the first to notice what was wrong with Cheng Yu, and immediately stepped forward, helped Cheng Yu up, and shouted.
"gentlemen."
Gongsun Ao and Yan Zhong were stunned when they heard this, and then looked at Cheng Yu. Seeing that Cheng Yu was in extremely bad condition, they immediately let out a loud shout and rushed over.
Although Cheng Yu lost miserably in this war, the two of them admired Cheng Yu's talent very much during the process.
The strategy he designed was also extremely perfect. The failure did not lie in Cheng Yu's lack of thoroughness, but in Liu Feng's cunning, in the defense of Hu Pass, and in the cowardice of Han Guan.
Otherwise, the war situation will completely lead to them.
In their minds, this is what they think.
Therefore, they were very concerned about Cheng Yu. Especially when the situation reached such a situation, the 180,000-strong army did not cut off the Han army's retreat. Instead, they lost their retreat and fell into an irreversible situation.
This requires a figure like Cheng Yu to come forward and turn the tide.
Therefore, everyone present can be in trouble, but Cheng Yu cannot be in trouble.[
As a result, everyone panicked and rushed forward to treat Cheng Yu. Fortunately, Cheng Yu's mental quality was pretty good.
Although his confidence was shattered, it did not reach the point of complete collapse. With the help of everyone, Cheng Yu finally survived.
He opened his eyes. He was confused for a while, but finally realized what time he was in. So he took a deep breath and said weakly: "Retreat immediately."
"Retreat?" Yu Jin and others shouted in disbelief. Under such circumstances, they actually chose to retreat. How could they be willing to do so?
"Yes. Retreat immediately." Cheng Yu said with a firm tone and an unquestionable order.
Why retreat?
Because the Han army was very strong, but after four days and four nights of continuous attacks, they were already very weak. When the two sides met, it was like a tiger meeting a rabbit.
And they are rabbits.
It's just a shortfall in the effort, and the 80,000-strong army is wiped out in ashes. That's the real doom and gloom.
Therefore, Cheng Yu chose to retreat, and he did so immediately.
One step short of success, one step short of success.
At this moment, the attack by 80,000 elite soldiers for four consecutive days and four nights finally fell short.
Cheng Yu and the others laughed too early just now.
