On the platform,

Seeing Zhang Xiu leading the iron cavalry to turn the horse's head, Cao Ren couldn't help but frown. Could it be a coincidence?

Just like, the direction of Zhang Xiu's rushing is exactly where the archer retreats. Once Zhang Xiu breaks out of the gun array and rushes into the archer array, it is like a wolf entering the flock of sheep.

However, Cao Ren did not dare to gamble and immediately shouted: "Send the order quickly, the archer turns the direction and evacuate the northwest direction, avoid Zhang Xiu Iron Cavalry."

The flag was waving, and the general who was responsible for commanding the archer glanced at it and began to change the retreat route without thinking.

However, only a few dozen breaths.

Cao Ren: "????"

Looking at Zhang Xiu in the formation, Cao Ren was stunned because Zhang Xiu turned his horse and rushed straight towards the archer's retreat position.

"Gudu!"

Cao Ren swallowed.

I'm not doing well, what the hell is this?

Logically speaking, Zhang Xiujun should be like a headless fly, and he could not have such a sense of smell!

Once was a coincidence, but twice was by no means a coincidence.

Thinking of this, Cao Ren looked at the enemy's commander flag with a serious look.

Although I didn't see it very clearly, Cao Ren was a little stunned.

"Lord... lord, something is wrong! The enemy... the enemy has no command at all, and there is no sign on the stage." Cao Ren's eyes were shocked and he said anxiously.

Hearing the words,

Cao Cao frowned.

I climbed onto the platform of the chariot in three or two steps and looked into the distance. Although I couldn't see clearly, there was no sign of the platform. Even Guo Jia next to me was surprised.

"Lord, Zhang Xiu is treacherous. Will there be two handsome flags to confuse us?" Guo Jia was less unruly and more solemn.

Cao Cao looked up and denied, "It's impossible, Zhang Xiu doesn't need to do such a thankless thing. What's more, looking around, the enemy's troops are moderately relaxed and well-trained, and are definitely not a mob."

"And, the enemy seems to be one step faster than our army everywhere, as if we know our army's movements in advance, which makes our army quite passive."

Cao Cao observed it and said in shock.

Guo Jia nodded. Although he was not good at fighting formations, he could vaguely observe that Cao Cao's three armies were controlled by others at this time, as if they were controlled by Zhang Xiu's three armies, and it was difficult to perform.

Cao Cao thought that this battle would be easily won, but at this moment he couldn't help but be serious and said with a smile: "Who is the enemy commander? The military use is so outstanding. Zhang Xiu was a mere reckless man in Xiliang who could get help from this person."

Cao Ren pursed his lips, he really didn't know this.

Guo Jia responded: "Lord, if what I expected is, this person should be Xu Shu, who has a reputation but is a poor family and has a decline in his family. He joined Zhang Xiu a few months ago and served as the chief clerk."

"Is there no reputation? Haha, after today, he will become famous, and I, Cao Cao, will become a joke." Cao Cao's voice was a little unhappy.

"Cao Ren, you don't need to hold your command here. Lead the army to kill Zhang Xiu."

Cao Ren lowered his head and responded, but he felt a little guilty, because his fighting formation was even worse than a poor child. Although Cao Cao did not speak out, it made him feel uncomfortable.

With Cao Cao's personal command, the originally somewhat shaken formation became stable again. For a moment, the two armies became head-on. The Qingzhou soldiers were elite in a hundred battles and their strength should not be underestimated.

As for Zhang Xiu's infantry, each of them had ambition to die, and they were not weak. In addition, Xu Shu had a great ability to seize opportunities, so Xu Shu never let him go if there were any chances.

This also shocked Cao Cao, because this flaw was not a flaw at all. After all, the order was sent for a long time, but Xu Shu was like a heavenly eye, looking down at the heaven and earth.

At the same time, Zhang Xiu had already rushed to the bow and arrow camp. For a moment, the spear in his hand was like a pear blossom, picking or stabbing countless people.

More than a hundred cavalrymen behind him were brave, and at this time they were like wolves entering the flock of sheep, and they were quite successful.

"Lord, the enemy generals want to join the siege, don't be fond of fighting, quickly evacuate the northwest direction. Cao's army is weak in the northwest direction, so you can lead the army to rush out." Xu Shu said anxiously.

A shot was stabbed out, and red blood sprayed.

Zhang Xiu strangled the war horse, listened to the sound from Xu Shu, and then looked up. The rear of the camp was indeed covered in dust, and Zhang Xiu knew that it was time to withdraw on this trip.

"Everyone, follow me to break through the siege!"

After the words fell, more than a hundred cavalry ran wildly again.

After a while, the northwest side of Cao's camp.

Zhang Xiu was covered in blood, and there were more than thirty cavalry behind him, with blood splattering on each of them, and his eyes were cold.

The war horses were ordered to turn back. It was Cao's army formation. They entered from the south and rushed out from the northwest, which could be said to have caused a bloody storm.

"withdraw!"

Seeing that a general chasing Cao's camp was chasing him, Zhang Xiu did not dare to stop and ordered the war horse to shout.

Even he was unable to support this battle, not to mention that the cavalry behind him were afraid that they could rush out, relying entirely on their own will.

Fight until sunset, both of them were removed.

In the palace,

A dozen generals gathered together, each of them solemnly.

Zhang Xiu glanced at everyone and then looked at Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, how are our casualties in this battle?"

"Return to the lord, the three armies suffered more than 2,000 casualties." Xu Shu felt a little heartbroken, and then added: "But the Cao army's losses should be more than twice as much as our army."

Zhang Xiu frowned slightly. He led the army to charge, and it was estimated that he would only kill hundreds of enemies, but there were more than 3,000 people on the front line.

And this is a good time to train troops.

No matter how bad the soldiers are, after a fierce battle, they are still elite.

"This battle will destroy the enemy's spirit, and Yuan Zhi will be the first to achieve his achievements."

"Lord, I will never dare to be greedy for merit. This battle is the result of my lord and all the generals." Xu Shu said hurriedly.

He believed that he was not weak, but when Cao Cao took over, he was a little stressed. If it weren't for the divine object of transmission, they would definitely be the ones who died or injured too much today.

Zhang Xiu did not go to the dispute and asked, "Yuanzhi, what will happen to our army next?"

"Lord, this battle has already ruined the enemy's spirit. Next, you only need to keep your door closed and not leave for three months, Cao Cao will retreat." Xu Shu bowed with his fists and said with a solemn expression.

"Well," Zhang Xiu nodded, but was thinking in his heart, because what he wanted was not Cao Cao's withdrawal, but there was no good way to defeat Cao Cao at the moment.

…………

At the same time,

Inside Cao Jun camp.

Cao Cao ranked first, with dozens of powerful generals under his command. At this time, everyone was a little angry because he was so frustrated during the day, and he felt like he was being led by someone.

"There are great talents in Zhang Xiu's army, so you can have good plans to destroy the city."

The fierce generals looked at each other, and Xu Chu patted his chest and shouted, "Lord, Zhang Xiu will definitely not be able to hide tomorrow. Give me three thousand elite soldiers, and I promise to capture Yecheng before noon."

Cao Cao rolled his eyes and said lazyly, "You are a smart plan to defeat the enemy."

"Lord, Zhang Xiu's army has defeated our army's morale in this battle, and the goal has been achieved. I think they will never be able to leave the city and fight with our army in a short period of time."

"However, Zhang Xiu's command has very few powerful generals. Jia thought that the three armies could be ordered to rest and cut down trees to build various siege tools. The lord led the army to beat drums and fight."

"If Zhang Xiu responds, he will be defeated. If he still stays in his door, the morale of the three armies will inevitably be depressed. When our army has all the equipment for siege, he will definitely be able to capture Yecheng in one fell swoop."

Guo Jia clasped his fists and said loudly.

Cao Cao nodded, Guo Jia's words coincided with his ideas, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Cao Ren, the three armies, ordered them to make various industrial and urban equipment in shifts overnight."
