The explosion continued.

Teams of Cao and Liu's coalition forces who came to support Guan, Zhang, Xu, and Chu were all eliminated halfway.

However, as the news spread, the Cao and Liu coalition became much more careful.

It is no longer so easy to watch them want to throw the clay pots unscrupulously like before.

The archers of Cao's army began to find their place. As soon as they discovered them, a rain of arrows covered the roof.

But looking at them, they were small in number and scattered, one in the east and one in the west, it was not so easy for Cao's army to kill them.

Throwing a pot from time to time can scare a large number of people away.

In addition, Zhang Wang had already touched Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and the others.

The last few pots were thrown down and exploded in the central area of ​​the Cao-Liu coalition.

The troops commanded by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were immediately in chaos.

Even though both of them were powerful generals, they could not command the chaos of troops under the explosion of the pottery jar.

The Cao and Liu coalition forces, who were originally able to confront Zhao Yundianwei, retreated step by step under the interference of Zhang Wang and their interference.

"Duke Cao, lost."

Cheng Yu was discouraged.

His confidence was gone when he was in Yanzhou.

"Mr. Cao, go quickly." Xun You also advised.

Shinno can't hold on anymore.

I thought that I could still stand firm and kill the Zhao army in the street fighting with the Zhao army.

But now, the explosion in the city is still there, and the army is in chaos.

It is Guan, Zhang and Xu Chu who can stop Zhao Yun and Dianwei.

But the ordinary soldiers below were no longer interested in fighting.

In the city, there were 150,000 Cao and Liu coalition forces, plus hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass, which I thought could block Zhao's army for half a year.

However, in just a few days, Shinno Castle was broken.

It was defeated faster than when I was in Guandu.

The number of people attacked by the Zhao army did not change much, and Cao Cao had more soldiers guarding the city.

But the speed of failure is faster.

Even Cao Cao felt discouraged now.

They are improving, but Zhao Hui's strength is increasing faster than them.

Zhao Hui is getting stronger and stronger.

The gap between them is getting bigger and bigger.

In the past year after coming to Xinye, Cao Cao has given many things to Cao Pi.

He himself was thinking about how to deal with Zhao Hui every day, but there was no way.

Although he was discouraged, since Shinye could no longer defend, Cao Cao still did not think about living and dying with Shinye.

Still need to withdraw.

Xinye cannot defend himself, so he can go to Xiangyang and resist Zhao's army with Liu Bei.

Cao Cao retreated.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu also retreated from Xinye with scattered soldiers.

Although Zhang Fei was very unwilling to give up, the army was in chaos and he was unable to make the situation come true.

Zhao Yundianwei did not pursue him.

After entering Xinye, he began to repair and waited for Zhao Hui's follow-up army.

Cao Cao never expected that Zhao Hui was just supporting one hundred catapults, and Xinye City was captured.

Many supplies in the city were not in time to transfer, and all the 500,000 stones of food and grass were left to Zhao Hui.

With these food and grass, Zhao Hui no longer needs to transport food and grass from Yuzhou to the front line in a short period of time.

He was waiting in Nanyang just to see how much supplies Cao Cao would leave him.

After the news that Zhao Yun and his friends had broken through Xinye was passed back to Nanyang, Zhao Hui led a large army to set off from Nanyang.

After Cao Cao arrived in Xiangyang, he discussed with Liu Bei for a long time.

But I still couldn't figure out a way, and there was no way to resist the Zhao army's attack.

"Military advisor, do you have a plan?" Listening to Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, explaining the situation of Xinye's battle in detail. The little confidence that Liu Bei had accumulated some time ago has now been shaken again.

Zhao Hui had not arrived in person yet, but Zhao Yundianwei's vanguard army broke through the Xinye guarded by Cao Cao in just a few days.

Liu Bei looked at Pang Tong and placed all his hopes on Pang Tong.

If Pang Tong had no way to deal with Zhao Hui's fire pot, then he would have to give up Jingzhou.

However, there is no way to deal with Zhao Hui for one day. Even if he gives up Jingzhou and retreats to the ends of the world, he will be caught up by Zhao Hui one day.

Even though he followed Pang Tong's previous plan, he gave up Jingzhou and entered Yizhou.

But even if he went to Yizhou, he avoided Zhao Hui this year.

But at Zhao Hui's current speed, he will attack Yizhou next year.

Even if Yizhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack, he still can't defend it.

Unless, he can also have the fire pot in Zhao Hui's hand.

However, although he sent countless spies, every time he received the news, the spies were damaged again, but he did not hear any news about the pottery jar.

Pang Tong said: "The opponent has this powerful weapon to attack the city, but he can't defend it anymore. If you want to win, we need to take the initiative to attack."

Any defense is vulnerable in front of gunpowder.

Now Zhao Hui has the sharpest spear in his hand, but Liu Bei and Cao Cao do not have the hardest shield.

I keep thinking about defense, but I will only fail.

On the contrary, Pang Tong said that there may be a glimmer of hope to take the initiative.

Cao Cao said: "For the sake of the present, this is the only way."

Even if you attack actively, the chances of winning are very low, but there is still hope.

At the same time, after receiving the news of Cao Cao's failure and fleeing, Sun Ce from Jiangdong was also discussing with Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and others.

"Bo Fu, you can't wait any longer." Zhou Yu was still in charge of the battle.

"Xinye Cao Cao was defeated in an instant in an instant. If you wait, no one can control Zhao Hui."

After receiving the news from Xinye, Zhou Yu and Pang Tong had the same idea. If they wanted to deal with Zhao Hui, they must take the initiative now.

Even if Yangzhou is blocked by the Yangtze River, Yangzhou will definitely not be spared when Jingzhou is occupied by Zhao Hui.

"Gongjin, even if we join forces with Liu Bei now, will we really have a chance of winning?" Sun Ce said.

If it weren't for Zhao Hui, Sun Ce would not be afraid of anyone in the world, and he would dare to fight.

But Zhao Hui came out, which made Sun Ce very powerless.

He really has no way.

"There is at least 30% chance of winning." Zhou Yu said.

"If we don't join forces with Liu Bei and Cao Cao, then we really have no chance of winning. In one month, Yangzhou will completely fall into Zhao Hui's hands."

"Yangzhou was not mine either," Sun Ce said.

Although, his father started in Yangzhou.

However, they are also ministers of the Han family.

"Bo Fu, are you really willing to give up the foundation you have worked hard to build to others?" Zhou Yu said.

"If you are really afraid of Zhao Hui, I will lead a 100,000 army to Jingzhou."

Zhou Yu was unwilling to give up.

Yangzhou was won by him and Sun Ce. He will not give it to anyone.

Even if Sun Ce really wants to surrender to Zhao Hui, he still wants to resist.

"Gongjin, why bother?"

The two are as close as brothers, Sun Ce can occupy Yangzhou and Zhou Yu makes the most effort.

Looking at Zhou Yu's firm gaze, Sun Ce still relaxed.

He is called the Little Overlord, he is a tiger in Jiangdong, and he wants to gallop across the battlefield and dominate the world.
