On the other side, where the infantry were facing each other, Guo Jia also heard the sound of the horn. His face changed and he shouted.
"Walk."
Xu Huang, Yu Jin and all the elite soldiers of Cao Wei also chose the same action as Guo Jia at that moment and quickly turned over and walked away.
"If we retreat now, what other way is there?"[
Liu Bei's expression changed and he roared unwillingly, but he felt that the road ahead was bleak.
However, the Cao Wei army ignored Liu Bei's roar and retreated while fighting and left quickly. In the end, Liu Bei could only sigh and reined in his horse with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao and others.
"Pursuit?"
On the side of the Han army, Dong Gai shouted.
"Don't chase the poor enemy. Just shoot them with a repeating crossbow and bow and arrow." Zhao Yun shouted, but he made the same decision as Dong Cheng. Even if the victory was guaranteed, there would be no more extraneous matters.
"kill."
Dong Gai was not impulsive when he heard this, he just yelled.
"Swish swish."
Immediately, countless soldiers and archers fired arrows in their hands, and the sky was full of arrows, like a violent storm, attacking the retreating Cao Wei army in front.
"Puch, plop."
"Ah, ah, ah."
Countless screams rang out, and countless Cao Wei and Liu Bei armies left their corpses on the ground and fled the battlefield.
"Send spies to monitor, and the rest will continue to guard the dam." Zhao Yun shouted with a gun.
"promise."
Dong Gai, Deng Ai and others all agreed.i^
Then, under the leadership of the generals, the infantry also began to gather the wounded soldiers and began to rest and recuperate.
"It's over. This Yanzhou belongs to our Han Dynasty. Cao Cao, even if you want to survive, you won't be able to do it." Zhao Yun rode his horse in front of him, looking in the distance towards Jiyin City, and said with a strange feeling in his heart.
On the other side, Guo Jia, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Chen Dao, Xu Huang, Yu Jin and others, who had experienced a painful battle but could not win, led the army to Jiyin.
On the way, everyone gathered together.[
"Fengxiao, retreating now is almost equivalent to handing Yanzhou over. How should we go back?" Liu Bei asked.
He was covered in blood and severely injured, but he didn't care at all. He only cared about the way forward.
Liu Bei also complained, and Guo Jia withdrew his troops.
Hearing this, Guo Jia took a deep breath and said: "Even if His Majesty ordered the troops to retreat, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry would not have successfully defeated Dong Cheng. If they continue to fight like this, their capital will be gone. Without Yanzhou, there will still be Qingzhou and Xuzhou. With that,
The shrinking of the army will only make it stronger and closer to the Wu Kingdom. In this way, the two sides will be closer. Even if there is no way to attack the Han Dynasty, there is still a chance to stick to the two states and unite with Soochow."
Although he explained it, Guo Jia sighed in his heart.
This is definitely not the path Guo Jia wants. What he hopes is to rely on the land of the three states to deal with the Han Dynasty. Now, the three states are gone, and only two states are left, and the strength is greatly reduced.
The hope of stabilizing Cao Wei has become further dimmed.
Moreover, if you shrink your troops, your defense will be stronger. However, how to shrink your troops next is also a problem.
Now, they retreated, and the Han army did not pursue them. Because the generals were cautious and failed to make a decision. But what about Liu Feng?
Liu Feng was a man of great daring, who could launch an army to fight against the princes of the world.
Guo Jia dared to guarantee that if Cao Wei retreats, Liu Feng will definitely pursue them. Therefore, how to retreat is also a difficult problem.
Thinking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in his heart.
You know, Guo Jia has always been very determined. With determination, Cao Cao was able to be promoted to the Ninth Five-Year Plan and become the supreme leader in the world.
Otherwise, why would Guo Jia advise Cao Cao to proclaim himself emperor first and then raise troops to confront the Han Dynasty?
However, Guo Jia is not so confident now.
They relied on the advantages of the city wall and the certainty that Liu Feng Renyi would not choose to flood Yanzhou, and guarded it for more than a year. Seeing that they were done, they were done.
Liu Feng, a benevolent and righteous man, wanted to see through the enemy, but he could not march into the three states.
But in the end, Liu Feng was cruel and chose the path of quickly destroying Cao Wei even if Yanzhou was flooded.
At that moment, they had no choice but to fight hard.
I originally thought that the army would fight, and the infantry would be able to stalemate, while the tiger and leopard cavalry would be able to defeat Dong Cheng, and then the horse and infantry would join together and attack the Han army's infantry from the front and side.
In the end, it reached the point where the dike was destroyed and the Han army was completely defeated.
After defeating the Han army, you can then occupy Yuzhou and even capture Hulao Pass to threaten Luoyang. To the north, you can march into Hebei.[
According to Yuan's summoning power, Hebei was captured. By then, Cao Wei would be able to prosper. As a result, their ace Tiger and Leopard Cavalry also failed to succeed.
In the end, it finally came to this end.
Even people like Guo Jia find it unbearable to suffer such repeated misfortunes. Naturally, cracks appear in that confidence.
Despair began to overflow and spread.
How to take the road ahead? When Liu Bei asked Guo Jia, Guo Jia was actually a little confused.
However, after Liu Bei heard Guo Jia's explanation, he felt reassured and believed Guo Jia.
Then, this large army returned to Liangcheng to rest and regroup.
On the other side, Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun also led their troops back to Jiyin.
When approaching the city gate, Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and reined in their horses. At that moment, Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun looked very ugly, and the morale of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was also low.
As the saying goes, take advantage of the momentum and leave, and return after defeat, this is exactly what it is.
With a "squeak" sound, the city gate opened.
Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun led their troops into the city. After entering the city, they immediately dismounted and walked onto the city wall. They saw Cao Cao again.
They are still the same person, but they feel a difference.
Before setting off, Cao Cao was at the height of his glory, but now he is at sunset.
"Your Majesty, I will be ashamed at last." Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu saluted with sadness in their hearts.
"Alas." Cao Cao finally let out a long sigh after hearing this. Then he smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's not that the general didn't try his best, but that Dong Cheng is not weak either."
"Let's appease the soldiers first. In the evening, I will discuss with you the withdrawal of the troops." Cao Cao said.
"Is it true that we can only retreat to the Qing Dynasty?" Xiahou Dun said, knowing the outcome, but still unwilling to do so.
"Either retreat to Qingxu, or I have to wait for death in Yanzhou. I don't want to die yet." Cao Cao said.
There was another sentence that Cao Cao did not say. That was that he did not want Liu Feng to be so proud that he died in Yanzhou.
I can't say anything.
After losing consecutive battles and shouting again, Cao Cao himself would feel blushing.
All Momo could do was lead his troops and continue fighting with Liu Feng.
