Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

"It's late, it's late!"

Seeing Cao Hong's army attacking Liu Zhang's army, Cao Cao sighed again and again.

His central army has been smashed to pieces by Liu Zhang's [-] cavalry.

If the opponent has only [-] light cavalry, Cao Cao can guarantee that his [-] infantry can defend for half a day, but the opponent's [-] heavy cavalry cannot resist anyway.

Once the infantry is out of formation, it can't withstand the impact of the light cavalry at all.

I have 8 people, and Liu Zhang has only 8000 people. If I persist, my army may be able to win, but I will definitely be killed.

Cao Cao ordered people to call Jin and gave the order to retreat.

Xu Chu immediately came over, helped Cao Cao onto the horse, and then escorted him away.

Cao Jun on the left and right flanks, seeing the retreat of the Chinese army, was immediately defeated and followed suit. Yu Jin and Cao Rong couldn't hold back, so they could only order the entire army to retreat.

Dian Wei heard Ming Jin's voice over there, but it is not so easy for him to evacuate safely.

He ordered someone to seize Cao Ren's body, and then contact Cao Hong to evacuate together.

But at this time, how could Liu Zhang let them evacuate?

He ordered more than 1 Chinese troops to chase after Cao Hongdianwei with 3 people. In front, Zhu Ling, Zhang Yun, and Zhang Jie also clung to Cao Cao's defeated army, chasing and killing them all the way.

They pursued for [-] miles until they were outside Cao Cao's camp. At this time, both sides were exhausted and had no siege equipment. They were unable to attack Cao Cao's camp and had to retreat.

When we returned to the main battlefield, it was already sunset in the afternoon.

Liu Zhang ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, and everyone quickly searched for the wounded on the battlefield, and then brought them back to the barracks for treatment.

They waited until all the wounded were transported back to the camp before they began to collect weapons and armor, as well as war horses.

Liu Zhang returned to his command tent, and immediately ordered his soldiers to take off the armor on their bodies, and put the helmet on the table.

He didn't hear the sound of completing the task from the system, so he knew that [-] Cao soldiers hadn't been killed today.

Until the next day, the battle damage was counted, and there were 8000 casualties on my own side, and 1 people were killed on Cao Cao's side, and [-] people were captured. I don't know how many wounded.

Among the casualties on Liu Zhang's side, there are fewer dead than wounded. Most of the wounded have been treated in a timely manner. Half of them can continue to fight in a short period of time, half of them need to rest for a long time, and a small part will never go to the battlefield. up.

Because Cao Cao fled the battlefield, many of his wounded remained on the battlefield without timely treatment. The serious injuries died because of delayed treatment, and those who were slightly injured and did not escape were also captured by Liu Zhang's army.

Based on this calculation, the number of soldiers and horses in Cao Cao's camp will not exceed 4.

On Liu Zhang's side, there are still 5000 people who are still intact, but they will not be able to fight tomorrow after exhaustion today.

For this battle, he did not leave a reserve force, only more than a thousand people guarding the camp, who could not attack Cao Jun's camp at all, so he could only order to rest.

In the barracks, the materials were counted and arranged, not to mention the treatment of the wounded. On the second night, Liu Zhang was about to call all the generals to discuss the dispatch of troops tomorrow, but found that it was raining lightly.

It doesn't matter if it rains, but I'm afraid of heavy rain.Due to the heavy rain, visibility is poor and movement is inconvenient, and the ground will become soft, which is not conducive to cavalry attacks. Liu Zhang can only inform the commanders of the battalions that he does not come to command the tents to discuss matters. He will wait and see the weather tomorrow.

The light rain suddenly became heavier in the middle of the night, and it lasted all night. When Liu Zhang woke up at dawn, it was still raining.

Although it became smaller again, there was too much water on the ground, which was not conducive to marching and fighting. Liu Zhang suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Now the morale in Cao Cao's battalion is low and the number of soldiers has dropped sharply.

Oops, if Cao Cao ordered the camp to retreat and return to Chenliu at this time, wouldn't he be unable to complete the task.

Although the possibility was very low, Liu Zhang didn't dare to gamble. He called Fazheng and ordered him to send scouts to monitor Cao Cao's camp. If he found signs of retreating from the camp, he would report immediately.

On Cao Ying's side, Cao Cao was also struggling in the commander's tent, should he take advantage of this opportunity to pull out the camp and retreat.

Because the county seat of Yuxian County is ten miles behind their camp, if you move quickly, you only need to send some troops to defend Yuxian County first, and lead the main force to pull out the camp and retreat. If they can be defeated, the main force can retreat safely.

Cao Cao told Xun You and Guo Jia about this idea, and Xun You immediately objected.

"My lord, the road is slippery, and it's inconvenient to march. Even if you march by force, the soldiers' physical strength will be exhausted, and they won't be able to walk twenty miles a day, and they will easily get sick!"

To say that everything else is false is to say that this illness is just too terrible.

Exposure to rain for a long time makes it easy to catch a cold and a cold. At this time, it is difficult to treat a cold and a cold. If one is not good, the army will die in pieces.

After being reminded by Xun You, Cao Cao gave up the idea of ​​retreating in the rain.

The rain did not stop until it was dark, but soldiers could not be dispatched tomorrow because the sun had to evaporate the accumulated water on the ground.

In this way, it was delayed for three days.

Although no troops have been sent to fight in the past three days, food and grass are still being consumed. Liu Zhang related to the two granaries in Zhonghe Yizhou, and the food and grass can still be supplied. Cao Cao is also relatively close to Chen County, where the government is located, so there is enough food and grass.

But in Xuzhou, something went wrong.

Xia Houyuan was a famous general at the time, but his army strength was only [-]. If he only wanted to seize a few counties for the Pengcheng Kingdom, there would be no problem.

But he wanted to continue to attack, so Cao Bao seized the opportunity. He led an army to attack Xiahouyuan's camp, burned his food and grass, and killed thousands of soldiers.

Later, Xia Houyuan still did not withdraw his army. Although he captured Wuyuan County in the east of Pengcheng State, the camp outside Xiapi City could not resist Xuzhou's army.

The barracks were destroyed, and he led his troops to retreat.

In general, 2 people lost 20 days of food and grass, more than [-] people were killed and injured, and Wuyuan County was replaced.

Tao Qian was very satisfied with this result, and Cao Bao was also very happy, because they had never won since Cao Jun came to Xuzhou to fight with them.

Now that they have won once, everyone feels elated. As for the loss of Wuyuan County and the killing of Wuyuan County Magistrate, no one cares about it.

Besides, in Runan County, Yuzhou, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu came to support with 2 people, and finally stabilized the situation in Runan. The Runan government was captured by Ji Ling's [-] troops, and they could only hold the northern part of Runan close to Chen Guo and Yingchuan Several counties in the county.

Although Yuan Shu was not good, Ji Ling and others under him were still somewhat capable. With three times as many troops as Li Dian and Cao Chun, they finally took back most of Runan County.
