Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 377
Normally, since I was running towards the south, shouldn't I suspect that I went to Shanyang?
After all, there is no danger to defend eastward, so there is no point in continuing eastward.

But the other party was determined to come this way. If the cavalry could catch up at this time, it already explained the situation.

Cao Cao really admired Jia Xu. Even if he really had no plans, in terms of short-term calculations, he was no worse than Guo Jia.

Strictly speaking, Guo Jia's own talent is not planning.

Guo Jia is good at analyzing intelligence, discerning people's hearts, looking for human weaknesses, and most importantly, helping Cao Cao make up his mind.

In the past, it was Xi Zhicai who made the plans, and Guo Jia checked and filled in the gaps.

Now that Xi Zhicai has died in battle, the pressure is on Guo Jia. Coupled with the limited time, it is difficult for Guo Jia to fully utilize his talents.

Rather, it is also true that in the face of absolute strength, the room for calculation is greatly reduced.

There is also the fact that after working hard all day, everyone barely slept.

Others were fine, but Guo Jia's constitution was already weak. After a whole day of tossing, he was already groggy.

I was struggling with my energy on horseback, and my brain was not working well.

Jia Xu?

I'm a bit older, but I'm still in my prime after all. The main reason is that I knew that there was going to be a night attack at night, so I just went to sleep...

Guan Yu's headquarters has not pursued him yet. According to Jia Xu's wishes, they are investigating the tunnels in Juancheng.

Occasionally, you can find one or two fish that slipped through the net.

As for whether the tunnel should be retained or how to deal with it, Guan Yu and Jia Xu will discuss it later.

This has nothing to do with Cao Cao. He only needs to know one thing: he is currently being attacked from both sides!
"Charge over!" Cao Cao knew that now was not the time to be entangled. If he didn't rush over, he would definitely die.

Fortunately, the village gathering is right in front. As long as they rush over, enter the village gathering, and use the houses as cover, the cavalry will not be afraid.

Besides, although the enemy in front of you can't see clearly, there shouldn't be many of them, so you can still rush past them.

If that doesn't work, go directly to Linqiu, just enter the city...

No, the fact that the other party can ambush here means that it is difficult to say that Linqiu is okay.

If Linqiu also falls into the hands of the enemy, then he will fall into a trap by heading east.

Cao Cao was suspicious. Seeing Xu Shu appear here, he immediately had bad thoughts.

"There are not many people on the other side, Linqiu should be fine, but the supplies may be in trouble... Ming Gong, go south, I will go south immediately." Guo Jia's mind was so groggy that he really couldn't bear to stay up late.

But he knew very well that Cao Cao was beginning to doubt and get entangled, but now was the time when he had to make a decision.

Going south may not be the best outcome, but it is the only option at the moment.

The situation of Cao Ren's army on the other side of the plain is unknown, but now that he can't wait for them to go south, he must go south.

Arriving at Shanyang County and meeting up with Li Gan, there was still hope.

Thanks to Pei Guo, this place is equivalent to a barrier against northern attacks for Xuzhou.

It is impossible to defend against the attack from Jiujiang, but the overall defensive pressure has indeed dropped a lot.

As long as Jinan County is closed and Mount Tai and Pei are guarded, it will be safe for a while. How long is hard to say...

In fact, Guo Jia knew that given the situation in Xuzhou, Cao Cao's defeat would be a matter of time.

One step at a time, one step at a time, not to mention Liu Bei's popular will, so many people support him.

On the surface, Cao Cao was the prime minister of the 'big Han', but in reality he knew that the emperor was his puppet.

After all, Liu Bei was a member of the Han clan, so there was no problem in becoming emperor, especially since the Ling Emperor lineage was almost extinct.

Unless Princess Wannian brings in a new wife and gives birth to a boy, she can be considered to have an heir.

The question is where is Princess Wannian? She is under Liu Bei's rule!
In other words, in today's world, one must either imitate Yuan Shu and Sun Ce and proclaim themselves emperor directly, or else it would be meaningless to elect puppets to the throne.

The only meaning is that he has not been crowned king or emperor. If he is defeated in the future, he will not be able to kill the Yi tribe or even the Nine tribes.

After Guo Jia's reminder, Cao Cao finally made up his mind and quickly led his army south.

Xiahou Dun was somewhat dissatisfied. Although the supplies were not enough, he still had supplies with the army, and the crossbows and other items were still there, so he could definitely fight a dozen.

How many cavalry are there on the other side? They are not heavy cavalry. Who can resist when a powerful crossbow is fired at them?
But if Cao Cao wanted to leave, he had no choice but to leave. The army quickly moved south, but Ma Dai and Xu Shu were in hot pursuit.It wasn't until three or four miles that Xu Shu had to retreat. It was because he and his eight hundred men couldn't catch up easily without Ma Dai's cavalry.

In addition, there are captured Cao soldiers and a lot of supplies in the village gathering, which also need to be guarded.

It is obviously not appropriate to leave only a few wounded soldiers to take care of them.

Cao Jun's side was not relaxed either, almost fighting and retreating.

After all, the opponent is a cavalry. How can one with two legs outrun the opponent with four legs?

"It's hard to bite..." Ma Dai was the most depressed. After all, the opponent had a powerful crossbow, and he would fire a wave of shots when he got close to the range.

They were indeed not heavy cavalry, so after being shot at, there were some casualties, but fortunately they were not serious.

"It doesn't matter. As long as we continue to pursue them, won't they get tired?" Wang Shuang, an army commander, stepped forward.

The purpose is to prevent the opponent from resting and keep pursuing them. When they are hungry, tired and sleepy, they can be destroyed in one go.

As a result, just after Wang Shuang finished speaking, there were two armies on Cao Jun's side heading in another direction, and the leading general could be vaguely seen in that army.

"Cao Jun wants to divide his troops?" Ma Dai didn't understand. There is indeed some use in dividing his troops. After all, the opponent also has thousands of people.

There are only two thousand on my side, and there are some casualties.

Facing the enemy's division of troops, how to face it is also a test.

If there are too many troops, the other side will become weak.

With fewer troops, the other side can turn around and eat them.

Normally, the opponent's thousands of infantry may not be able to eat up his two thousand cavalry.

It's just that the cavalry have the advantage of speed. As long as they run, it won't be easy for the opponent to eat them.

The problem is that it is not easy for him to get close until all the arrows of their powerful crossbow are used up.

Especially this one who was just blind and had a torch in his hand to get in the way, which also affected the attack.

If they don't get closer again and again, they are trying to trick their crossbow arrows. They want to wear off all the crossbow arrows before the enemy reaches Shanyang, consume their energy, and then destroy them all in one go.

As a result, they divided their forces, and it became troublesome...

"Captain..." Wang Shuang was a little panicked. He was still a young man now.

"Don't worry, the opponent's division of troops also has the advantage of division of troops!" Ma Dai concentrated on the army that was separated, "Cao Cao is in this army, chase them, and kill them as well!"

After all, Cao Cao's power mainly relies on Cao Cao to unite people's hearts.

If Cao Cao dies, everything will be ruined.

Just like Liu Bei's side, even if the four sworn brothers are fighting happily outside, the battle is going smoothly.

But if something unexpected happened to Liu Bei, the entire court would fall apart.

So Ma Dai's troops gave up the larger army in front of them and went after 'Cao Cao'.

Little did he know that Cao Cao was crying in the remaining army.

When he attacked Dong Zhuo, he was ambushed by Xu Rong by mistake. Wei Zi died, and Cao Hong gave his war horse to himself.

Today, he took the initiative to exchange armor with him, saying that if he continued, everyone would die, if he didn't serve as bait...

As expected, the enemy army discovered that 'Cao Cao' had divided his troops and fled, so he led his army in pursuit.

Cao Cao could only watch helplessly as the opponent moved toward where Cao Hong was. There were not many people there and they could not hold out for long.

Fortunately, the powerful crossbows are given to them. As long as they still have the crossbow arrows, they can still hold on for a while.

If she didn't want to let him down, she now had to leave as soon as possible.
