Although Xun Yu set fire to temporarily block Yuan Shu's cavalry, this was not a long-term solution. When the fire subsided, Yuan Shu's cavalry would definitely rush over without hesitation and surround himself on the city wall.
"What did my lord say?
Evacuate to Danyang County?
Why don’t you go to Wujun Center?”
Xia Houyuan agreed with Cao Cao's order to evacuate. Now is not the time for a dispute between spirits. The enemy will soon surround him. He will not be able to escape until later. But why should he go to Danyang County?
"Our soldiers and horses are now concentrated in Dantu. If we go to the center of Wu County, we will definitely be followed by Yuan Shu. We have no way to resist, so we can only go to Danyang County, go to Chen Wen's place, and borrow his strength to resist
, only then can there be a glimmer of hope,”
After looking at Xia Houyuan, Cao Cao directly told him the reason why he abandoned Wu County and went to Danyang County.
"I understand. I will immediately send people to Wu County to bring out the lord's family members."
After hearing Cao Cao's explanation, Xia Houyuan suddenly realized, but he immediately thought of a very serious matter, that is, Cao Cao's family and the family members of all the generals were all in Wu County. When they left, if Yuan Shu killed him, he would
What to do.
"No need, I already made arrangements for everyone's families when we sent out troops. They are not in Wu County now."
However, Cao Cao shook his head, because the general calculated defeat before calculating victory, so he made preparations when he sent out troops. The family members had already left Wu County and went to the arranged place.
"I see,"
Hearing that Cao Cao had made arrangements long ago, Xia Houyuan went directly to convey Cao Cao's order without hesitation.
Cao Cao's order was quickly spread to various places through Xia Houyuan. Li Dian, Cao Hong, Le Jin and others received the order without hesitation. They each got rid of the opposing generals, leaving elites to resist. They themselves took some soldiers and began to gather towards Cao Cao.
.
"They want to run, break through the obstacles and stick to them."
Seeing Li Dian, who was facing him, retreat, he immediately understood that Cao Cao was about to run away. The city wall would be blown down, and the lord's army would be able to enter the city. Once the troops were deployed, it would only be a matter of time before Cao Cao's army was surrounded and annihilated.
So what they can do now is to evacuate and get out of here.
Wen Chou discovered the problem, and others had the same problem, so Yuan Shu's troops began to attack Cao Jun on the city wall.
Those who were able to stay behind were the absolute elite. Facing Yuan Jun's violent attack, they gritted their teeth and supported it. They knew that if they could hold on for a while longer, they could buy more time for the army to evacuate.
The already bloody battle on the city wall escalated again, with both sides fighting with their lives.
"Lord."
"Lord."
"Lord."
At the critical moment, the three generals Li Dian, Le Jin, and Cao Hong finally led their troops to Cao Cao's side and joined him.
"Everyone will get off the city wall immediately. The guards will stay behind and leave."
Seeing the arrival of the three generals, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and sent his most elite personal guards to cut off the rear without hesitation. Good steel must be used on the blade. Now only the personal guards can complete the task of cutting off the rear.
"promise."
The four generals surrounded Cao Cao and ran directly to the city wall, while the personal guards used their bodies to form a flesh and blood city wall to help them cut off the rear.
"kill."
The trapped camp was truly brave. He took the lead in defeating Cao Cao's army who blocked them, and then went south under the leadership of Gao Shun. He first cooperated with Hengye's army to defeat Cao Cao's army in front of him. The two armies joined forces and began to attack Cao Cao's personal guards who stayed behind.
military.
Cao Cao's personal guards knew that they were in dire straits, but their morale was still extremely high. Even when faced with the trapping army and the Hengye army, which were much larger in number than themselves, they remained fearless and stuck in there as tenaciously as nails, attacking the enemy.
All incoming enemies were blocked.
After a while, Wen Chou and Zang Ba also led the elites of the Hu Lie Army and the Xuzhou Army to the front of Cao Cao's personal guards.
"The heavy armored infantry is forward, and the rest of the troops are behind. They have to push out a way for me."
Seeing the densely packed iron-armored guards, Wen Chou directly chose the cumbersome and most practical method, taking advantage of the number of people to force a way for him to pursue Cao Cao.
"Collide."
The heavy armored infantry of the Tiger Army and the infantry trapped in the camp lined up in a neat formation, and then obeyed the order and crashed into Cao Cao's personal guards.
"Peng."
A series of collisions resounded through the city wall. Although Cao Cao and the personal guards were fearless, they were at a huge disadvantage facing the numerically superior Yuan Shujun. As the collision occurred, their line was directly knocked backwards.
go.
"Power up, push."
Seeing that his strategy was effective, Wen Chou shouted to the soldiers again.
"push."
With the reinforcement from the rear, the heavy armored soldiers at the front squeezed directly into the formation of Cao Cao's personal guards like nails, and dozens of Cao Cao's troops on the outermost side were directly squeezed off the city wall.
"push."
With another increase of force, the heavy armored soldiers pushed in deeper, and more Cao soldiers were squeezed and fell off the city wall.
"boom."
"boom."
"boom."
While the crowding battle on the city wall was going on, the trebuchet troops launched a series of heavy bombs directly into the sea of fire. The burning wooden carts were hit by the heavy bombs and flew everywhere, and a passage visible to the naked eye was directly cleared.
come out.
"rush."
Seeing a passage being smashed out of the sea of fire, Ma Chao had no doubts. He jumped over the city wall on his horse and rushed into Dantu City with the blazing flames.
Ma Chao took the lead, and the cavalry behind him were all elites from hundreds of battles. They galloped their horses and whips together, jumped over the city wall, and charged into the city of Dantu under the blazing flames.
"Lord."
Cao Cao rushed directly to the south gate with the soldiers and horses who had withdrawn from the city wall. Xun Yu had already opened the city gate and was waiting there with five thousand cavalry.
"Wen Ruo, let's go quickly."
Seeing Xun Yu waiting at the south gate, Cao Cao was relieved.
"My lord, let's go first, I'll take the lead."
Xun Yu shook his head and motioned for Cao Cao to go first.
"You follow me, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, you two will break up here."
Cao Cao shook his head and asked a counselor to cut off the rear here. What the hell is the difference between this and committing suicide?
"Please rest assured, Xun Yu, Xun Yu has his own plan to escape."
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu was also a little moved.
"I know you have an arrangement, but now is not the time to be impulsive. You should immediately inform Miaocai and Zilian of the arrangement and leave with me as soon as possible."
Cao Cao knew that Xun Yu had an arrangement, but he couldn't take risks, otherwise if something went wrong, he would have his arm cut off.
"All right."
Seeing Cao Cao's insistence, Xun Yu didn't say anything. He went directly to Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong and told them the location of the kerosene and wood, as well as the time to start burning.
"I see."
After the two heard Xun Yu's arrangement, they nodded directly.
"Let's go."
Seeing that the two men understood, Cao Cao took Xun Yu and began to evacuate.
Ma Chao led his cavalry into the city and directly charged Cao Cao's troops at the gap.
"Form up defense."
Those who did not go up the city wall were from Cao Cao's new army. When the captain saw the cavalry charging, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then ordered the new army to form a formation to deal with the cavalry attack.
