- Chapter 167 "New Front"
With the help of trenches and fences, the number of deaths of Yizhou soldiers was much smaller than that of Cao Jun, the ratio was about one to three, but it was Wei Yan who was anxious, not Cao Cao. This is easy to understand, because the base of Cao's army is huge, they have 100,000 people, while Wei Yan only has less than 7,000 people.
Wei Yan watched more and more corpses placed in the open space of the camp, with blood forming a stream on the ground, and the disgusting smell of blood filling the air. Wei Yan's heart sank.
However, he did not show his anxiety on his face after being on the battlefield for a long time. Nothing could be seen on his black and red face, his eyes were bloodshot, and he kept yelling. He kept patrolling the camp with a sword in one hand and a broadsword in the other. He would go wherever he saw the situation was tense and lead his guards to help the soldiers withstand Cao Jun's attack.
The fighting was already late at night, and the fighting was still so fierce, with no sign of letting up. By the light of the torches on both sides, Wei Yan saw that Cao's army began to rotate again. The attacking soldiers moved out of the way under the command of the general, and the energetic fresh troops rushed over with howls - Cao's army's offensive increased significantly. The fence was crumbling under the impact of this group of people.
Wei Yan was about to rush forward to join the battle group when a signal soldier ran over with his face covered in blood and reported hoarsely: "Report to General Wei, General Mo is dead!"
Wei Yan stopped when he heard this, and felt something in his heart again: half an hour ago, his general Yan was shot and killed by Cao Jun, and now he has lost another helper. The 7,000 men and horses are now estimated to be less than 4,000.
He didn¡¯t ask about the cause of General Mo¡¯s death, and he couldn¡¯t allow him to ask now. He turned around and ordered to the guards around him: "Call all the soldiers who can move! As long as they can still move, let them go up and kill them. If we hold on for two more hours, we will win!"
"Yes!" the guard said solemnly.
At this time, Cao Jun in front shouted excitedly: "Quick! The fence is about to fall! Kill!"
Wei Yan thrust the sword into his waist, raised the sword in both hands and rushed into the crowd, shouting: "Kill me, General!"
At the critical moment, suddenly fierce shouts sounded from behind Cao Jun:
"Charge!", "Kill Cao Cao's traitor!"
I saw a group of men and horses coming out from behind the hillside in the distance and quickly rushed into Cao's army. Cao Jun's offensive was frustrated, and many soldiers began to turn their heads to deal with the new troops.
¡°Obviously the number of people in that army was very small. When Cao's army separated some soldiers, that team began to retreat. They came suddenly. Retreat quickly.
They are the troops led by Ma Dai. Since there are less than 3,000 people, they can only harass the outside. Seeing Cao's army coming to deal with them, Ma Dai, who was self-aware, immediately retreated.
Although Ma Dai could not rush in to support Wei Yan, nor could he put too much pressure on Cao Jun, he gave Wei Yan a lot of confidence and dispersed Cao Jun's troops to some extent. Therefore, the defenders in the camp stabilized the urgent situation just now.
But Wei Yan knew that this was only temporary, and the overall situation was still grim: "When will the reinforcements arrive?"
The 40,000 reinforcements led by Zhao Yun and E Huan could be said to have traveled non-stop on a starry night. The two divided their troops into two parts. E Huan led all the cavalry and selected light infantry to rush to the front, and Zhao Yun led the large army closely behind. ,
Just when Wei Yan felt that he couldn¡¯t hold on anymore, an exciting shout finally came from behind:
¡°Our reinforcements have arrived!¡±, ¡°General E has arrived!¡±
With this shout, a mighty shout rang out in the camp: "General Wei. E is here!"
?Then the voice shouted again: "Brothers, dismount! Kill¡ª¡ª"
It wasn't until Wei Yan saw E Huan beside him, desperately killing Cao Jun, whose morale was beginning to decline, that he felt that his heart could finally return to his chest. All the strength in his body seemed to disappear, and he sat down covered with blood and broken limbs. on the ground, gasping for air.
The reinforcements are coming in more and more. Not only did the number of troops in the camp begin to increase, but the already scarce defensive materials also began to be replenished. The pressure on Cao's army naturally doubled.
¡¡
"Report to the King of Wei! Yizhou reinforcements have arrived!" A probing horse stepped into the tent and reported.
"How many troops are there? Who is the general?" Cao Cao asked.
"Zhao Yun and E Huan lead 40,000 troops!"
After hearing this, Cao Cao said nothing more and silently waved Tan Ma out. In his heart, he cursed Xia Houcun again for ruining his good deeds.
None of Cao Cao¡¯s men spoke, they all lowered their heads carefully and waited for Cao Cao¡¯s next decision. At this moment, no one wants to get rid of his bad luck.Not long after, the shouts of the Yizhou soldiers outside became quieter, but the shouts of the Yizhou soldiers became much louder. Sometimes the shouts of the Yizhou soldiers, who were still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, could even overwhelm Cao Jun's shouts. This made the officials in the tent feel a little ashamed. Even more afraid to look at Cao Cao who was thinking deeply.
Cao Cao pursed his lips and looked at the civil and military officials around him. Gritting his teeth, he said: "Retreat! Defend Ma Chao's cavalry by holding on to the city!"
After hearing Cao Cao's order, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and raised their heads in unison, waiting for Cao Cao's specific order.
"General Xu Huang and General Wang Shuang led 30,000 horses to cut off the rear, and the rest retreated overnight!" Cao Cao ordered concisely and concisely.
Jia Xu, Sima Yi, Cheng Yu and others looked at Cao Cao with admiration, turned around and left the camp.
Soon the two sides in the battle began to stop fighting. As soon as the two sides broke away from contact, the entire battlefield calmed down and each healed their wounds. Naturally, the Yizhou soldiers did not dare to come out to pursue. Wei Yan did not have many men left, but Zhao Yun's troops arrived after all the hardships.
One day later, Ma Dai's two thousand troops also returned to the camp. Cao Cao's army also successfully entered the city of Yumi and established many camps near the city, relying on the city.
By this time, Liu Jia and Cao Cao were basically tied:
Cao Cao completed the siege of Ma Chao's troops and completely cut off the retreat of Ma Chao's army; however, his efforts to encircle and suppress Wei Yan's army failed, and a large area of ??land west of Wei Mi City was occupied by Liu Jia.
Liu Jia rescued Wei Yan's troops and occupied a large area of ??land west of Wei Mi City. Most of the area in Yongzhou was owned by Liu Jia; however, his plan to connect with Ma Chao's army did not come true, and Ma Chao's army was still deeply surrounded by Cao's army.
The battlefield naturally moved to Wei Mi City! Cao Cao wanted to defend the city of Yumi, wipe out Ma Chao's 20,000 cavalry, and prevent Liu Jia from invading the Central Plains; Liu Jia wanted to occupy the city of Yumi to rescue Ma Chao, and use the city as a springboard to conquer the Central Plains.
A new front has been formed, and the war is about to begin!
