Chapter 375 Cao Cao retreats

Cao Cao's idea is very simple. If you can burn a batch to death, create some chaos, and kill Guan Yu if you can.

If you can't kill them, trick them into an ambush and then kill them.

A batch of supplies have been shipped out in advance, right over Linqiu.

Mainly due to Guo Jia's analysis, if the opponent wins a new victory, there will definitely be follow-up actions.

When Cao Cao heard this, he quickly made arrangements, regardless of his sadness over Xi Zhicai's death in battle.

I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and it happened that night. Fortunately, many things were rehearsed in advance.

It was late at night, and someone suddenly heard the sound of the city gate opening. Someone was immediately awakened and reported it.

Cao Cao woke up from his dream. He really didn't expect the enemy to attack so quickly, so he immediately ordered to shrink the defense line and concentrate on the government office.

Fortunately, there had been a drill before, and the army immediately stood up and gathered without saying a word.

The process is bound to be chaotic, but thanks to the current darkness, the other party can't see clearly.

At the same time, it takes almost 10 minutes from the gate opening to the enemy troops coming in. At any rate, we can keep our base.

But the subsequent development gave Cao Cao a headache. The opponent's level of training caused at least three or four of his backhands to become useless.

"Breakout!" Cao Cao gave the order, and the soldiers rushed out of the tunnel and headed towards the east gate.

It's strange to say that Guan Yu led his army to surround the west gate and the north gate, but there were no soldiers at the east gate.

Now I feel that even if I directly fight back now, the problem will not be too big.

Now there is a not so good thing, that is, as the fire rages, the surroundings are brightly lit.

Originally the enemy was in the open and we were in the dark, but now both the enemy and we are in the open.

Cao Cao tried to send 1000 people to fight in the street with the opponent. As a result, with the same number of people, three of the opponent's people guarded the passage and two were responsible for attacking. It was more than enough to stop a dozen of them.

If Cao Cao remembered it, Liu Beijun had no record of street fighting. Why was he so familiar with street fighting?

This is not good. The training levels of both sides are different. If you continue to fight, you will be the one who suffers.

I originally wanted to say that even if it was a street fight, I was at least familiar with Juancheng and the soldiers were familiar with it, so I could use the terrain advantage to deal with them.

But who knew that the other party would also quickly adapt to the environment here, and at the same time be far better than himself in terms of cooperation.

Especially targeted street fighting training, which the soldiers under his command cannot match...

One step at a time, one step at a time, Liu Bei's army rose up too quickly, faster than all the princes in the world, so they were ahead of everything.

While the princes of the world were still busy pacifying the place, expanding their territory, and collecting supplies.

Liu Bei has completed this, begun to refine his troops, and at the same time expanded production capacity to go to war at any time.

That is to say, he was concerned about people's livelihood, so he slowed down a bit, otherwise Cao Cao felt that the world now belonged to Liu Bei.

"No, General, if we go out through the east gate, we may be ambushed!" Guo Jia realized something was wrong.

Although encircling three and missing one is the basic law of war, after all, leaving a way out will definitely not lead the rear army to fight to the death, but will leave some remaining strength to facilitate a breakout.

The other side of the east gate deliberately set up heavy troops in order to allow them to break out.

Normally speaking, a breakthrough means a breakthrough. It is better to save people and lose territory than to save land and lose people.

The problem is that there is something wrong with the other party's counselor, and he is a bit ruthless. This kind of person will never give up until he plots people to death.

As a result, the east gate is so big now and has almost no defense. It's no wonder that if we break out like this, there will be no problem!

"What should we do? Time waits for no one!" Cao Cao shouted, not because he was impatient, but because he wanted Guo Jia to offer suggestions quickly.

Perhaps before Guo Jia offered advice, he also began to think about how to break the situation.

"Go to the south gate first, then east!" Guo Jia replied.

Now the enemy troops are gathering towards the center of the city, and the defenses of the four gates are relatively weak.

The weakest one is of course the east gate, but there must be something wrong with it.

Take the south gate first and take a detour. Even if there is an ambush, you will still have time to react.

If you rush out rashly, the enemy's ambush will suddenly attack. It is not safe to rush into the battle, especially because the training level of the two sides is too different.

Cao Cao nodded, and the army quickly moved towards the inevitable breakout and entered the main road. This side was wider and the soldiers could form a slightly better formation.

In terms of battle formations, these new soldiers guarding the periphery were no match for Cao Cao.After being scattered several times, they finally understood why Guan Yu didn't let them serve as soldiers.

Even if the armor and equipment are similar, the level of training and physical fitness are still very different.

He rushed into battle rashly and became someone else's exploits.Not to mention that it was a street fight now, and the advantage of numbers was not used at all.

After killing hundreds of the opponent's people, Cao Cao felt much better.

Even on Liu Bei's side, there are soldiers who are not well trained.

It's a pity that it's not all like this, otherwise I would have turned around and gone back.

Guan Yu also had a headache. Cao Cao was like a gopher, not knowing where he would come out.

The tunnels also extend in all directions. If you are not familiar with them, you really don’t know where they will lead.

Cao Cao even dug some dead ends, which meant that the road ahead would disappear as he walked.

The underground of Juan City is as complex as a maze.

It wasn't until Cao Jun made a surprise attack that he realized that the main force was heading towards the south gate.

The army gathered together, but the people had already run away.

There are still hundreds of people trying to break through. They were the first group to get behind Guan Yu. Now they are being attacked from both sides.

Some of them later returned to the tunnel, and some were resisting using their houses as fortresses to cover friendly forces entering the tunnel.

In the end, these hundreds of people discovered that the soldiers on the periphery were not well trained, so they rushed towards the west gate frantically, intending to break out of the encirclement.

The battle situation has completely tilted towards his side. After this battle, Yanzhou basically fell into his hands, but Guan Yu was not happy at all.

This Cao Cao is very cunning. If he escapes this time, it will not be so easy to catch him next time.

Now he even regrets not choosing the middle or best strategy.

But if you don’t have a choice, you don’t have a choice. There’s no point in regretting it now.

The main reason is that the cycle between the middle strategy and the best strategy is too long, and long time means there will be changes.

Cao Cao had already suffered a loss once, so naturally he would not allow Jia Xu to prepare a strategy for a long time again.

Does Jia Xu know, otherwise he would have to spit: This is the effect he wants!

Everyone thinks that Jia Xu will not continue long-term planning, but this time is more suitable for long-term planning.

As long as it was more concealed, who would have thought that a six-month plan had just ended, and there was another plan that lasted at least one year.

Especially since this was a conspiracy, involving territorial issues, Cao Cao had no way to avoid it and could only deal with it with all his strength.

This is also the difference between this plan and the previous one.

It was Qing Mimi's plan before, but it shocked the whole world.Now it is a long-term plan and a crazy game in the short term.

It's a pity that Jia Xu didn't know. Besides, Guan Yu has already chosen the next strategy, so he can continue according to this logic.

Once one stage is over, it’s time to move on to the next stage of planning.

In fact, Jia Xu also had his own thoughts. He expected that Guan Yu would choose the wrong strategy and let him learn a lesson.

Next time, if you offer your own advice, there will be less constraints.

Otherwise, you can only use less than [-]% of your abilities, which is really uncomfortable.

Seeing the army gathering towards the south gate, Guan Yu at the same time left his reserves to guard Juancheng and investigate the tunnels to prevent Cao Cao from killing him.

Jia Xu followed behind, looking at Guan Yu who was busy directing, but he still missed Zhang He more.

It's better to be under his command. You can use your tactics as you like without any scruples.

After saying that, Cao Cao rushed out of the south gate and walked around in the direction of Linqiu.

In the end, it was all a fool's errand. Ma Dai got the news and pursued him, but he didn't know where to pursue him.

But Cao Jun really escaped into the darkness and ran away!
