Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 troops and retreated here.
The Battle of Jianning City.
Although he failed, it can only be called a small defeat.
Of the 200,000 Sizhou soldiers, only over 50,000 died in the battle.
On the other hand, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Evil Cavalry suffered considerable casualties.
However, many soldiers under Liu Yu's command died in the battle.
More than half of the barbarian warriors died in the battle, and tens of thousands of Yunzhou soldiers were killed by the evil cavalry.
In terms of casualties, the two are about the same.
Cao Cao's only loss was the loss of Jianning City.
The loss of Jianning City meant that Liu Yu officially occupied Sizhou.
"What do you guys think is the future of that thing called artillery?"
Cao Cao asked his generals.
In the battle of Jianning City, he lost to Zhan Tianxia's artillery.
Guo Jia replied: "The sound can shake thousands of miles, but the power of a single launch is not very great."
"Unless you have enough quantity, it will be difficult to shape."
During the retreat, Cao Cao captured several artillery pieces.
We are not fools, and we have seen the artillery fire, so we will use it after a little research.
However, the power of a single artillery piece can still satisfy Guo Jia.
Especially Dian Wei, he roared angrily: "We can destroy all this scrap copper and iron with just one hammer."
As long as they enter the current, it is easy to destroy these artillery pieces.
"Don't be excited when evil comes!"
Cao Cao stopped the indignant Dian Wei and said: "Even scrap copper and iron have their uses."
Dian Wei didn't have any words, but he called it "evil" to be more powerful.
As for those who say that Dianwei's character is Ziman's, they have misunderstood this sentence.
When Taizu... heard of Wei's death,... he came to mourn him personally, sent him back to Xiangyi for burial, and worshiped Ziman as a doctor.
This Ziman is Dianwei's son Dianman.
"What's the use!"
Dian Wei was still very angry.
On the frontal battlefield, he defeated Wang Zhongde and won.
But behind the scenes, my boss was almost exposed.
One of the main culprits is these artillery pieces.
How could Dian Wei not be angry?
"some."
Guo Jia explained aloud: "At certain specific times, these artillery can have miraculous effects."
The first time he thought of using artillery to deal with the cavalry.
It's okay if the power isn't great, as long as the sound is loud.
The horses of the cavalry were frightened, and the cavalry collapsed without a fight.
"Hmph, I, Dian Wei, am a rough man anyway."
Dian Wei groaned and said: "Lord, I will avenge you right now!"
He doesn't admit defeat.
Abandoning Jianning City made him furious.
"Evil is coming!"
Cao Cao warned: "Don't be anxious, we have a plan of our own!"
Dian Wei has a hot temper.
Apart from this, everything is fine.
Then Guo Jia also nodded and said: "Now Guan Hai under Cheng Mu has entered the realm of ghosts and gods. In addition, we have player commanders who are cutting off Liu Yu's food route."
"Then Liu Yu will retreat soon."
Xia Houyuan in Bingzhou was advancing with overwhelming momentum.
From the moment the emperor recalled the Flame Army, Bingzhou was already in an undefended state.
Soon, Bingzhou will be under Cao Cao's command.
So what if we give up Sizhou at this time?
Moreover, Liu Yu did not have the guts to occupy Sizhou.
Occupying Sizhou means having direct contact with Cheng Mu.
In the case where both sides have not entered the realm of ghosts and gods, who can match Guan Hai who is in the realm of ghosts and gods?
Neither Cao Cao nor Liu Yu wanted to cause this disaster.
The best way is to maintain the balance among the four parties again.
If it weren't for Cheng Mu, I wouldn't have given them a chance.
"Then let's go! Kill Liu Yu first and then go on."
Dian Wei had never forgotten the idea of cutting off the heads of enemy generals and using them as chamber pots.
Since Liu Yu wants to run away, this is his chance!
In addition, Cao Cao has an army of hundreds of thousands of players who can cut off Liu Yu's retreat.
It seems feasible to kill Liu Yu.
However, Cao Cao shook his head: "No, we don't want Jianning City, and we don't want Liu Yu's head either."
"Sizhou, we don't have to either."
He looked at Dian Wei earnestly and said: "Entering Beiland from Bingzhou is our only chance."
"Only if you and Feng Xiao enter the realm of ghosts and gods will we have a chance!"
Since you can't compete with Cheng Mu at the moment, let's avoid his edge for the time being.
"Are we going to give up Sizhou like this?"
Dian Wei was very unhappy.
Everyone was originally in Qingzhou, but ended up in Sizhou to avoid Cheng Mu's advances.
Now we have finally established a foothold in Sizhou and are developing and growing.
However, he had to avoid Cheng Mu's attack, enter Bingzhou, and go to the north.
It seemed as if Cheng Mu was their nemesis.
"This is our best choice."
Guo Jia explained: "The Kingdom of China can be given to Cheng Mu."
"The national war is about to begin, and we can enter the Ming Empire."
"Or to accumulate strength."
The Kingdom of China is sandwiched between the Ming Empire and the Qing Empire. These two tigers will definitely attack the Kingdom of China as soon as possible.
After all, in terms of national strength, the Kingdom of China is the weakest in the entire Chinese civilization.
Persimmons should also be picked soft and pinched.
"Hmph! Waiting again!"
Although Dian Wei vented his anger.
But he didn't say anything about the outcome.
Guo Jia is right, he is still inferior to others in terms of skills.
If they were both in the same country, Dian Wei would still have confidence.
But the opponent was a strong man in the realm of ghosts and gods, and Dian Wei, who was in the early stages of conquering the country, knew that he had no chance of winning.
"Why."
Cao Cao said: "It would be great if Mr. Xun's divination could predict one's own affairs."
Their biggest regret was that Xun Yukong had divination skills.
But the target of divination can only be others.
Although the maximum period of time that divination can be performed is the same as Zhuge Liang's god-level stargazing, which is seven days.
But you can't predict what will happen in your future.
It can be seen that there is still a gap between divination and stargazing.
"I, Dian Wei, don't believe this!"
He said solemnly: 'I only believe in the weapons in my hands.'
Man can conquer nature, and he, a barbarian, knows that.
"Well, when evil comes, you go down first."
Cao Cao arranged for him to say: "Count the soldiers, we are going to withdraw."
If Liu Yu wanted to, Cao Cao wouldn't mind if he took Yongchang County as well.
Sizhou can also give it.
Now that the strategy has been decided, it is time to implement it.
"Otherwise, by the time you, Cheng Mu, react, it will be too late to leave!"
Go to the Northland and enter the realm of ghosts and gods.
This is Cao Cao's last chance.
At the same time, Liu Yu's side.
A steady stream of Yunzhou soldiers began to retreat from Jianning City.
It is no different from Cao Cao's strategy.
Now Liu Yu is waiting for news from Tan Daoji.
Whether Xie Xuan died in battle or really surrendered to the enemy, he needed precise information.
But while waiting for news, it would be wisest to withdraw the troops.
After all, Guan Hai's involvement in ghosts and gods has been described personally by several spies.
One spy may be incited to rebel by Cheng Mu, but so many spies have the same information.
That means that Guan Hai has really become a ghost.
And Xie Xuan is also very likely to join Cheng Mu's command.
The reason Liu Yu is still waiting for news is because he wants to give up. After all, there is still a trace of fantasy in his heart.
Anyway, at this moment, he had long since lost the joy of occupying Jianning City.
