The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 558 The encounter turned into a crushing situation
"Zhongzhi, what's going on?"

Faced with this sudden change, Cao Cao couldn't hold back immediately, and asked loudly.

Immediately, Xin Ping responded loudly: "Master, a Xuzhou army is coming from behind us!"

"What, this is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Cao Cao yelled, unwilling to believe this unfavorable result for himself.

But what happened in front of him, the approaching flames in the distance, and even the sound of fighting resounding in his ears... all told him that what Xin Ping said was true.

"Why, why is this happening!"

For a moment, Cao Cao's face was full of dilapidation, and he turned his head to look at the Xuzhou army who were still coming in and out of the river, his eyes filled with unspeakable hatred.

Lin Zichu, you are so vicious!

You sent these people to contain a certain person, but you secretly ordered the elite to cross the Yellow River, and formed a two-bread cheese sandwich for a certain person. It is really... a vicious scheme!
But didn't I stay in Chen Palace to guard Baima City? When I saw the enemy army approaching, I should have informed myself. How come I didn't know anything until the enemy army came to the front?
Of course Chen Gong did not betray Cao Cao, but now even he himself is in a hard fight.

Guan Yu came all the way from Jing County, so naturally he had to cross Baima City before he could enter Baimadu.It's just that Guan Yu's target was these enemy troops on the banks of the Yellow River, and he didn't want to make more entanglements in Baima City, so he directly chose to divide his troops and advance.

The 5000 elite were directly divided into two by Guan Yu. Sun Guan led 5000 people to attack Baima City, but he led [-] people to attack Baimadu.

That is to say, at this moment, there seemed to be a huge sound of fighting, but in fact, the enemy troops killed were only half of the army under Cao Cao's command.

It's a pity that it was in the dark at this time, and Guan Yu was about to kill him again, so Cao Cao couldn't be clear about it.

"Zhongzhi, can you see how many soldiers and horses the enemy has?"

Cao Cao is worthy of being a man with the appearance of a hero. After the initial panic and anger, he changed his mood and asked Xin Ping.

Right now, he was just being attacked from behind, and it wasn't like his entire army was wiped out. If he fought back, he might not necessarily lose. On the contrary, if he panicked, he would really be hopeless.

Xin Ping replied: "Your Majesty, you can't see in the dark, how can I see clearly. But judging from the sounds made by the enemy soldiers, there should be about 2 people!"

"2 people... that's okay, okay."

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this number.

So he hurriedly ordered more torches in the army, and the front army became the rear army. Except for a few crossbowmen who still pointed their bows and arrows at Zhang Liao's troops in the river, everyone else was ready to fight.

Right now, Cao Cao can't really be said to be facing the enemy, because as long as thousands of soldiers are used to contain Zhang Liao's 5000-man army, he can not go ashore, and he only needs to face Guan Yu's [-]-man army.

The only thing to worry about is that at this moment, Cao Cao's troops are backed by the Yellow River, and there is no way out.

This scene is very similar to the posture of the overlord Xiang Ji back then, fighting with his back to the wall.

The difference is that Xiang Ji took the initiative, while Cao Cao was forced to fight.

One attack and one receive can be called the difference between heaven and earth.

In the rear, Guan Yu was sitting astride his horse, seeing the torches gradually increasing in the distance, he guessed what Cao Cao was thinking, but then shook his head and sneered, "Since the defeat in Bianshui, Cao Mengde is still the same man, he hasn't improved at all! "

"Father, what do you mean by that?"

Next to him, Wei Yan asked puzzledly.

Wei Yan asked himself that if he stood in Cao Cao's position, he would probably make the same choice, so he didn't understand what Guan Yu meant.

"If you want to fight back against the wall, you must have the strength to match it, otherwise you will seek your own death." Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled, "Although Cao Mengde has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, in the eyes of someone, he is just a bunch of mobs. , It is difficult to compare with the case of a certain warrior under his command. If someone is him, he will flee early, so that his life may be saved, otherwise it will be too late to regret!"

This……

When Wei Yan heard this, a strange look appeared on his face.

Foster father, you often teach your children not to be arrogant and careless, but when you open your mouth, you are so complacent. Is this really okay?
Although it was in the dark night, Guan Yu's sharp eyes were still shining, and he naturally had a panoramic view of Wei Yan's expression.

Guan Yu said with a half smile but not a smile: "What, Wen Zhang doesn't believe it?"

"This... the child dare not."

Wei Yan hurriedly cupped his fists and said.

"Don't dare?" Guan Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Then you still don't believe it?"

Wei Yan strengthened his courage, gathered his courage and clasped his fists and said, "Father, my son thinks that the enemy's army is several times that of his own, so it's better not to underestimate the enemy."

Hearing this, Guan Yu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "No, my son's words are wrong! There is a saying in "Spring and Autumn": A husband fights with courage! One vigorous effort, then decline, and three exhaustion!

Zichu also said: The way of battle lies in one heart.A certain warrior under his command has followed him since Zhongshan raised his troops. After a few years, hundreds of battles have been fought.Therefore, the soldiers are happy to die in service, and dare to fight to the death, so that a certain is never defeated!

On the other hand, Cao Mengde fled Yanzhou for only a few months, and he managed to pull together a mob by patchwork.Most of them rely on wealth to confuse people's hearts, and their soldiers will definitely not be able to fight back. They must be panicked between life and death, and it is difficult to form an array. Therefore, Cao Cao must win this battle! "

It has to be said that there is a certain reason why Guan Yu can become the head of Xuzhou's generals.Because he not only understood the war, but also took into account the objective conditions outside of the war.

Even based on these conditions, even the combat power of Cao Cao's soldiers was estimated to be about the same. After comparing it with the combat power of his own soldiers, he came to the conclusion that he must win.

It is called recklessness to charge and kill without any consideration.

After thinking about all this, you dare to seize the opportunity quickly, this is courageous!
The two seem similar, but in fact they are quite different.

The gap between famous generals and fierce generals is probably here.

Originally, Guan Yu marched into Fancheng in history. Although Cao Ren had prepared for this Xiangfan battle several years in advance, he was still beaten by Guan Yu with the same force and fled, hiding in the city and not daring to come out.

Moreover, the so-called equal strength refers to the fact that most of Guan Yu's subordinates are navy troops, while Cao Ren's subordinates are mostly cavalry. Such a record is not invincible.

Later, the Seventh Army was flooded, causing Cao Cao to be devastated, and even wanted to move the capital for a time.

The world saw Guan Yu's courageous and brave side, but they all ignored Guan Yu's preparations for this battle.

In fact, before Guan Yu mobilized troops, the bandits and rogues around Cao Ren's rear were dispatched by Guan Yu from afar, and under the banner of Guan Yu's leadership, they began to make trouble behind Cao Ren.

This is like Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition in the original history, and the three counties on the border of Cao Wei surrendered without a fight.

How could this happen if Guan Yu hadn't arranged and planned in advance?

So Guan Yu, as the world's top star, is by no means a brave man!

But after Guan Yu finished speaking, Wei Yan's eyes became more and more confused, as if he only understood a small part.

Seeing this, Guan Yu just smiled and shook his head without further explanation.

He believed that with his adopted son's talent, he would be able to understand it sooner or later.

If you can't understand, then you are not worthy to be your adopted son!
"Wen Chang, my father ordered you to be the vanguard and lead the army to advance!"

This battle was a night battle. Guan Yu did not choose to lead the army to charge and kill himself, but ordered Wei Yan to be the forward, and he himself was in the center to command.

Only then did Wei Yan come to his senses, and quickly cupped his fists and said, "Obey!"

With Guan Yu's order, the first battle after crossing the river officially started!
As the offensive side, the soldiers under Guan Yu's command were already ready to go.Cao Cao, on the other hand, responded hastily, and had no time to put up a proper defensive formation, and because his eyesight was extremely poor at night, he was beaten and retreated as soon as the assistants fought.

As a pioneer, Wei Yan fully understands what it means to capture a thief first, and to curse a woman first.Leading the elite under his command, he went straight to the commander-in-chief where Cao Cao was.

Although Wei Yan's bravery was far inferior to Zhao Yun's, after a wave of charges, Cao Cao's soldiers began to panic.Especially under the blessing of the halo of the night, it is even more indistinguishable from left to right, up and down, and only feels that the grass and trees are all soldiers, and most of the combat power is lost.

This directly led to Wei Yan's charge not encountering many obstacles, until he rushed a hundred or two hundred steps in front of Cao Cao, and was blocked by Cao Cao's personal guards with shields.

On the other hand, for Guan Yu, the results of his daily hard training in arrays were revealed at this moment.Although they were as invisible as the enemy army, the tacit understanding between the brothers and the strict formation resulted in very few people being left behind, which greatly maintained the integrity of the formation.

Guan Yu knew well that the key to fighting at night was stability, so this time he did not use the conical formation, which is an extremely lethal and efficient offensive formation, but instead used the infantry phalanx.

Although the speed is greatly reduced, the victory lies in step by step. Facing the chaotic army on the opposite side, it is like a ruthless meat grinder. Every step forward, the feet are covered with corpses and blood, but they are still advancing step by step, unstoppable .

Seeing that the enemy army was too strong to stop them, Cao Cao's soldiers rushed here and there like headless chickens, but in the end they were forced to retreat under the shining sharp blade on the opposite side.

It was a good encounter, but under Guan Yu's calculation in advance, it turned into a crushing game.

After nearly an hour of fighting between the two armies, Guan Yu had already pushed Cao Cao's army to the bank of the Yellow River.Behind him is the icy cold river, which has reached the point of no return.

Although Cao Cao is also good at battle formations, Guan Yu broke up his formation as early as the beginning of the battle.Among the chaotic army, Cao Cao couldn't integrate his soldiers at all, not to mention Wei Yan was not far in front of him, and he kept looking for an opportunity to rush over, so Cao Cao's military orders could not be delivered in time.

"Don't mess up, don't mess up..."

Cao Cao roared loudly, but in the midst of the chaotic army, his voice was like a spark, and he failed to cause any waves.

Xin Ping yelled: "Your Majesty, you can't do anything right now, let's withdraw!"

Even though Xin Ping exerted all his strength, Cao Cao, who was close at hand, could barely hear clearly. The defeat on his face was even stronger, and he was extremely unwilling.

If you lose the advantage of facing each other across the river, plus your own tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are destroyed...

This battle... is really impossible to fight!

Ask yourself, Cao Cao really doesn't want to lose, or he can't lose at all.

After asking for directors earlier, Liu Bei threw an olive branch to himself, and even offered gold and silver, a small banquet every three days, and a big banquet every five days. The courtesy was so heavy that even Zhang Fei was a little jealous.

Although Lin Zichu's bastard was always wary of putting him under house arrest, no matter how unconscionable Cao Cao was, he couldn't deny that Liu Bei was sincerely treating him well.

Youdao is the depth of love and the depth of hate!

Faced with such treatment, he went to Yanzhou to stand on his own in the name of lobbying Bao Xin.It's all about being self-reliant, but he even joined Yuan Shao to counterattack Xuzhou. Not to mention being ungrateful, it can be regarded as revenge.

It can be said that among the princes of the Cao Yuan coalition army at this moment, Liu Bei hates himself the most.

In this case, if I fall into Liu Bei's hands after defeat, what will happen to me?
Thinking of Lin Chao's methods of treating the enemy, although Cao Cao didn't want to admit it, he was really a little scared...

Death may not be terrible, but it is absolutely terrible when it falls into Lin Zichu's hands!
More importantly, Cao Cao still had lofty ideals and ambitions in his heart that had not yet been realized. He could not bear his mediocrity in his short life, let alone his useless death.

Therefore, Cao Cao wants to live!
Cao Cao didn't want to be defeated. As Yuan Shao's military adviser assigned to follow Cao Cao, how could Xin Ping want to live up to Yuan Shao's expectations?
But at present, the battle situation continues to tilt towards the Xuzhou Army, and even Zhang Liao's troops in the river have begun to make trouble, and there are signs of landing.

If you don't leave, you will really be left here!
"My lord, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about no firewood." Xin Ping urged again loudly, "Hurry up and order to retreat!"

Hearing this roar, Cao Cao just woke up like a dream, and without hesitation, he ordered loudly:

"Withdraw, withdraw to Whitehorse City!"
