Chapter 852
Xun You said lightly:
"It's okay, the current situation is not as expected."
Cao Ren has no better way now, so he can only choose to believe Xun You.
He gritted his teeth and ordered the generals under his command:
"All the generals obey orders and the entire army retreats!"
When Cao's army began to retreat in large numbers, Wei Yan, Xu Rong and other generals also knew that the time for the attack was up.
"The enemy's formation has been broken, my boys, follow me!"
Wei Yan was eager to make contributions and rushed to the Wei army with the lead.
Xu Rong was a little calmer and commanded the soldiers of the Yue family army to advance and pursue the enemy.
The Wei army was defeated and fled for more than fifty miles under the pursuit of Yue Yun and other Chu generals, with countless casualties.
Generals such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Niu Jin were already injured by Yue Yun's hammer. After running so far, they were already at the end of their strength and could not hold on.
"General, there is a river ahead!"
As Cao's scout reported, Cao Ren looked up and saw that there was indeed a wide river blocking him.
There are dense jungles on both sides of the river, and behind them are the pursuers of Da Chu.
This made Cao Ren feel like he had no way to heaven and no way to the ground.
He couldn't help but shouted in despair:
"Is it God who wants me Cao Ren to die here!"
Military advisor Xun You said softly:
"General Zixiao, now our army is in a desperate situation. Only by letting the soldiers fight against the enemy can there be a glimmer of hope."
Cao Ren nodded, pulled out his sword with some tragic tragedy and said to the generals under his command:
"The soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty, I, Cao Ren, are not a good general.
I'm sorry for you, and led you into such a desperate situation!
There is a river blocking it in front of you, and behind you is the Chu army.
If you choose to surrender, I, Cao Ren, will not blame you.
Now, I, Cao Ren, have to die to repay the King of Wei!"
Cao Ren said as he picked up the sword and wiped it on his neck.
"General, you can't die!"
Chang Diao was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and immediately stepped forward and grabbed Cao Ren's wrist and stopped Cao Ren.
Cao Ren looked at Chang Diao, and his eyes unconsciously showed a hint of appreciation.
Be sensible!
This is a common martial arts art. Why did he promote him from a Sima of the Army to a general of the Cao army?
It’s not because this guy is sensible enough to understand the face of his boss at important moments.
The King of Condor He often possessed him and said to Cao Ren with sincerity:
"The general loves soldiers as much as his son. We have been grateful to the general for a long time, and I wish I could repay his fate.
Today the Chu army is coming, we are just dead, so what are we afraid of?!"
Chang Diao said excitedly, and pulled out the sword from his waist and howled:
"Today we are vowed not to surrender, and we are willing to live and die together with the general!"
The cowardly Wei Jun had the idea of surrender in his heart, but looking at Cao Ren and senior generals like Chang Diao were not afraid of life and death, what were they afraid of?
The rhythm of the scene was instantly brought up by Chang Diao.
These fleeing Wei soldiers held their weapons and shouted:
"We swear to never surrender!"
"I wish to live and die with the general!!"
“…”
Seeing that the morale of the soldiers under his command was greatly boosted, Cao Ren also showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
He shouted passionately:
"As long as I, the Great Wei Erlang, do not have a greedy person who is afraid of death!
Soldiers, return to the army to form a formation!
Let the Chu army see the true strength of our Great Wei soldiers!”
Cao Ren pointed forward with a sword in his hand:
"Today, we will fight the Chu army to the death!
Never take a step back!”
Seeing that the morale of the Wei army skyrocketed, Xun You held the corners of his mouth slightly, which was exactly the effect he wanted.
The Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation is just an illusion, and this river is the main battlefield where he chose to fight the Chu army.
Although Cao's army was defeated, it still had a population of 70,000 to 80,000, which was far better than that of the Chu army.
Xun You gently stroked his beard and stared at the front:
"Xu Yuanzhi, my twelve strange strategies were unable to capture Wancheng from you.
Then you can try my back-on plan now!”
But in a moment, Yue Yun, Wei Yan, Xu Rong and other generals who were chasing the Wei army had arrived.
They looked at the Wei army standing in front of them against the enemy, and suddenly felt that the mental state of these Cao Wei soldiers was a little different.
When the Wei army ran away, they wished that their parents gave them two legs and ran away for the death.
At that time, the momentum of their bodies was also a deserter's aura without any fighting intention.
But now these Wei soldiers all have firm expressions and look like they have a desperate desire.
Xu Rong was deeply aware of the essence of military strategy and said with a serious expression:
"If you fight with your back, you will die if you can't win.
This is the Wei army's plan!”
Yue Yun pressed the double hammer and spoke disdainfully:
"No matter what plan he is, with my octagonal plum blossom bright silver hammer here, no matter what strategy the enemy has, it will be futile."
Xu Rong advised:
"Major General, there are also hidden tigers and dragons in the Wei army, and there are endless experts.
Don't take it lightly!"
Yue Yun replied proudly:
“General Xu was overly worried.
How can you be with me just general Wei?”
If Xu Rong advised Yue Yun like this before breaking the formation, the little guy would still listen.
However, as Yue Yun fought against Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Niu Jin in the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation, he killed Cao Wei's generals Yan Ming and Cao Wu in succession, Yue Yun has become a little bit arrogant now.
He believed that the generals of Cao's army were all vulnerable, and no one could block the bright silver hammer in his hand.
Yue Yun cheered up and ordered the remaining Yue family army under his command:
"Soldiers, it's been a recent victory!
Follow the general to rush to the enemy formation and kill the Wei army without leaving any armor!"
Under Yue Yun's leadership, the high-spirited Yue Family Army collided violently with the Wei army.
Yue Yun took the lead and rushed straight to Cao Ren and other core Wei generals. No one could defeat him wherever he passed.
Xu Rong and Wei Yan also commanded the Chu army to launch a fierce attack on the enemy.
However, the combat power of the Wei army is incomparable to the moment.
The formation was broken just now, and when the Wei army was defeated, they thought of leaving the battlefield and not fighting if they could not take Wancheng.
And now there is a big river behind it. If you take a step back, you will die. There is still a glimmer of hope to move forward bravely.
No Wei army wanted to let go of this glimmer of hope. They burst out with combat power far beyond their usual days and fought desperately with the Chu army.
There is no trick in this battle, only a confrontation between iron and blood.
The Chu army was far more elite than the Wei army, but the number of Wei army was greater than that of the Chu army.
The two armies fought here and were in a stalemate for a while.
But there is still a variable in the battlefield, that is, the young general Yue Yun.
Yue Yun's strength was too strong. Even if the Wei army charged in desperate times, it could not resist his attack.
If Yue Yun successfully breaks into the formation and captures and kills Cao Ren, Xun You and other senior leaders of the Wei army, this Wei army will inevitably end up in defeat.
Chang Diao knew this very well, and pointed at Yue Yun with his sword and howled:
"Stop him and arrange the shield array!
Never let this general come over!"
Rows of Wei troops holding iron shields blocked Yue Yun's must-pass road, trying to block Yue Yun's attack.
