Hearing Li Dian's roar, Wen Chou raised his eyebrows, raised his gun and killed him.
Seeing Wen Chou coming to kill him, Li Dian had nothing to say, so he just swung his gun and killed him.
Li Dian and Wen Chou fought together, but the soldiers under his command were unable to withstand the impact of the fierce tiger army. They directly defeated Li Dian's troops and began to infiltrate inside.
"My lord, General Li Dian was defeated by the enemy, and now their troops have come to kill him."
Soon the situation at Li Dian's place reached Cao Cao's ears.
"Cao Hong, you take my personal guards over and be sure to stop the enemy's reinforcements."
Seeing the situation there, Cao Cao frowned and directly ordered Cao Hong to take Cao Cao's personal guards to stop Wen Chou's tiger army.
"promise."
After receiving the military order, Cao Hong immediately rushed down the hillside with five thousand personal guards and killed them in the direction of the Tiger Army.
Cao Cao's personal guards are newly formed. In the last battle of Dantu, his personal guards were completely wiped out and lost all their weapons and armor. The current personal guards are also veterans he brought from Yanzhou, and their combat effectiveness can be
It is said that he is second to none among Cao Cao's army.
The Guards and the Tiger Army fought together. The mountain road was narrow and difficult to navigate, which was not conducive to the deployment of troops and horses, so they were not at a disadvantage in a short period of time. However, as time went by, people on both sides were dying, and the Tiger Army's numerical advantage declined.
He got up and kept pressing Cao Cao's bodyguard forward.
Now the entire Stone Mountain battlefield is completely divided into four parts. One is the Hu Lie Army and Cao Cao's personal guards, the second is the main battlefield of the Hu Wei Army, the third is the militia battlefield, and the fourth is the battlefield of Xu Huang's Hengye Army.
, and among these four battlefields, the only one where Cao Cao really had the advantage was the militia, and he was at a disadvantage in all other battlefields.
"Zhicai, we may have all thought wrong."
As the war progressed, Cao Cao couldn't help but frown.
"Yes, I didn't expect that Yuan Shu's troops and horses could display such combat effectiveness under such circumstances. We may have really thought wrong."
Looking at Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai's heart sank to the bottom. It stands to reason that anyone would be panicked if they were suddenly attacked. However, Yuan Shu's army, except for the militia, whether it was the Huwei Army, the Hulie Army, or the Hengye Army outside, all took advantage of it.
They kept calm and did not betray themselves at all. If the mountain road of Stone Mountain was not suitable for the large corps to deploy, they might have been defeated.
"Now what?"
Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and said, to be honest, this battlefield is already a bit useless. He ambushed others, but was beaten to the point of being a little autistic. As time goes by, he may be counter-attacked by others.
.
"My lord, there is no turning back when you draw your bow. Now we have no way to retreat at all. The troops will be scattered as soon as we retreat. Moreover, the enemy will not let us leave now. They will definitely follow and pursue us. By then, it may be all over.
"
Xi Zhicai shook his head. Now they were in a dilemma, whether they were advancing or retreating.
"Then let's fight to the end. Let's treat this battle as a decisive battle. Either we eat Chen Gong, or we are eaten by Chen Gong. Anyway, Nanyang has become an isolated city now, and sooner or later we will have to fight to the death."
Now that Xi Zhi has said this, Cao Cao has nothing to say. If he withdraws his troops now, where can he go?
Suixian will definitely not be able to go back. There is no place for Cao Mengde, a big man like him.
"Xi Zhicai vowed to follow the master to the death."
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xi Zhicai knelt on one knee in front of him.
"Um."
Cao Cao nodded silently, and then looked at the battlefield in the valley.
The battle continued, and finally Le Jin's troops were completely lost. Ten thousand people fought hard until only three thousand were left and collapsed. Xu Huang led the Hengye army to break through Le Jin's defense and advance into the valley.
The Hengye Army broke into the battlefield and injected a boost of strength into the Yanzhou militia that was about to collapse. With the support of the Hengye Army, Cao's army, which originally had the advantage here, also took a turn for the worse. They also switched from passive defense to counterattack.
Here Xu Huang charged in, and over there Wen Chou also stabbed Li Dian with a shot, and then the soldiers around him swarmed up and captured him.
After Li Dian was captured, the fierce Tiger Army also broke through the defense of Cao Cao's personal guards in one fell swoop and joined forces with the Tiger Army. With the support of the Tiger Army, they already had the advantage.
Cao Jun who entered the formation was swept away.
"Order the Huwei Army to turn around and surround the enemies around the Hulie Army."
Under the protection of soldiers, Chen Gong frequently issued orders and calmly directed the battle at Stone Mountain.
The Huwei army charged in the opposite direction, and together with the Hulie army, surrounded Cao Cao's personal guards.
"Lord, we are defeated."
Seeing that the situation in Stone Mountain was getting out of hand, Xi Zhi knew that they were defeated. He deliberately planned to ambush the enemy here in Stone Mountain. Who knew that he miscalculated his own strength and underestimated the strength of Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses? In the end, he unexpectedly
To be killed by them was really God's will to manipulate people.
"I lost, I lost, hahahaha, I thought that Cao Cao would fight all my life, but I didn't expect that I would lose to Yuan Gongliu in the end."
Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing wildly, thinking that he had been in the army for so many years and resisted his whole life, but in the end he still couldn't defeat Yuan Shu. This time, after Shitou Mountain's defeat, he really had no room for improvement.
"Lord, the enemy is coming. I'll protect you and retreat first."
Xia Houyuan and Wenpin came to Cao Cao covered in blood and knelt on one knee to escort Cao Cao away.
"It's not necessary. The beautiful scenery here is quite nice."
At this time, Cao Cao no longer had his original domineering attitude, and his eyes were full of loneliness.
"My lord, although you have been defeated, the Cao family has not been defeated. Even if Yuan Shu now has the opportunity to take the final step, it is easier to conquer the world than to defend it. The second emperor of Qin Dynasty died, and your sons are all among the best.
, once there are problems with Yuan Shu's rule, the princes will have the opportunity to rise up and fight for the world again."
Xi Zhicai glanced at Cao Cao, who had lost all his dominance, frowned, and said this directly.
"You mean you want me to surrender to Yuan Shu?"
Cao Cao also frowned when he heard Xi Zhicai's words. He was not stupid and could naturally understand the meaning of Xi Zhicai's words. Letting his son fight for the world meant that he, the father, should surrender to Yuan Shu and create a world for his son.
Opportunities to cause trouble in the future.
"Lord, if we were in Yangzhou, I would never let you surrender, but now the situation is different.
Liu Biao has not sent troops until now. It can be basically concluded that he either surrendered to Yuan Shu, or he is still resenting his last attack and refused to send troops. However, I think the most likely one is that Liu Biao was coerced by the noble family under his command and surrendered to Yuan Shu.
If this is the case, Nanyang is just a dead land and will be captured by Yuan Shu sooner or later. After capturing Jingzhou, only Jiaozhou and Yizhou will remain independent.
Facing Yuan Shu's overwhelming advantage, they are no match at all and will be defeated sooner or later.
Rather than die in this useless place, when my lord arrives, it is better to surrender to Yuan Shu and serve him while waiting for the opportunity.
Once something goes wrong in Yuan Shu's rule, he could start another uprising. Even if Yuan Shu is wise, can he guarantee that his descendants will also be wise?
By then the Cao family will still have a chance to make a comeback."
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao and began to analyze his thoughts for him.
"You mean I can't do it now, so I have to fight Yuan Shu for my younger generation?
