The Three Kingdoms are invincible

Seeing all the soldiers admonishing him in unison, Gao Shun regained a bit of reason in his heart.

Indeed, my family is all in Xuchang City, if Xuchang City is not protected, my family members may be in danger.

But if he led the army on a rampage like this and wanted to rush to Xuchang City, the consequences might be even more serious.

If Xuchang City had really been breached, then with his own 5000 people, I am afraid it would be difficult to rescue his family members, and they would just die for nothing.

At that time, my family members will not be able to save me, and I will ruin [-] lives in vain.

Gao Shun has a certain degree of intelligence and calculation, he can be regarded as a wise general, but he is not a counselor after all, and he doesn't have a thorough understanding of some issues.If Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other counselors were on the side, they would definitely remind Gao Shun that Sun Jian would most likely not touch his family in order to recruit talents.

In fact, if Gao Shun could calm down and ponder the nonsense carefully, he might not be unable to realize this truth.But the so-called fans of the authorities, Gao Shun is now worried about the situation of his family. Even if someone explains the reason in front of him, Gao Shun may not believe the other party's words.

However, the persuasion of Hao Zhao and others is not without the slightest effect, at least now Gao Shun is much more sober than before.

Gao Shun took a deep breath, his eyes were deep, his inner thoughts were racing, thinking about how to act.

Whether to rush in regardless of sacrifice, or...

The time left for Gao Shun to think is extremely limited. If he hesitates for a moment, the situation in the city will become more dangerous.

"According to the strategy of the military division." Gao Shun finally decided to adopt the strategy that Guo Jia offered to Cao Cao, although Gao Shun didn't know how effective such a strategy was under the current situation?

——————————————————————————————————————— At this time, the east gate of Xuchang City, although Sun Jianjun has hung the top of the city The Cao character banner was torn down, but this did not mean that they had already captured Xuchang City.

Yes, Cao Ren died, but after Cao Ren's death, the reinforcements assembled from the other three sects had already arrived.

Cao Jun and Sun Jianjun launched a new round of fighting near the city gate, and the scene was extremely heroic.

The number of Cao Jun who came from the other three sects was not large, about 6000 in total.After all, part of Sun Jian's army was attacking the city outside the other three gates, so that it was impossible for them to send all their troops to the east gate.

Otherwise, even if the east gate is saved, but the other three gates fall, wouldn't the result be the same?

Sun Jian's army originally gathered about 2000 troops outside the east gate. In the siege battle and hand-to-hand combat inside the urn, Sun Jian's army successively lost about [-] people.But that's the case, they still have four times as many troops as Cao Jun who rushed to the east gate.

Although Zhou Yu was a little surprised by the arrival of the other three reinforcements, he was not in a hurry.Although Cao Ren's persistence at the cost of his life delayed the time when Xuchang City changed hands for a while, it is still an indisputable fact that Xuchang City will be conquered by the self army.

There are only 6000 people, how can I stop my army of more than [-].Don't forget, it's not a siege battle right now. Now that the city gate has been opened, the two armies are engaged in a hand-to-hand confrontation.Without the support of the city, with a four-fold difference in numbers, Cao Jun has no chance to regain the situation.

Sun Jian was excited, this Xuchang city was at his fingertips, and it would become a step for him to step into the world.

"My lord, General Zhou!" Just as Sun Jian and Zhou Yu were triumphant, a messenger ran to them in a hurry and reported, "There is an army approaching us."

army?Still approaching Xuchang?Zhou Yu and Sun Jian were terrified when they heard this.

Especially Sun Jian, Xuchang City is about to be captured, he doesn't want to make any troubles at this juncture.

Could it be that Cao Cao has defeated Yuan Shao and led his army back to help?

No, although it is not impossible for Cao Cao to defeat the strong with the weak and Yuan Shao's superior force with the inferior force, but it will never be so fast.If Cao Cao wanted to win the Guandu battlefield, he could only fight Yuan Shao for consumption, and he would never win in a quick battle.

Or did Cao Cao decide to come back to rescue Xuchang despite everything?But in this case, would Yuan Shao let him go?After chasing and killing them all the way, Cao Cao's army could not return to Xuchang safely.

It was precisely because these factors were analyzed clearly in advance that Sun Jian sent troops to attack Xuchang.

Did Cao Cao and Yuan Shao secretly reach an agreement?

Sun Jian kept guessing about various possibilities in his mind, while Zhou Yu was much calmer at this time.

"Approximately how many people are there in the enemy army? What kind of flag are they flying?" Zhou Yu asked.

"My subordinates are only visually counting. There are about [-] to [-] people. The flag they are flying is Cao Cao's handsome flag." The orderly replied with a trembling tone in his tone.

"What? So many?" Hearing the amount, Sun Jian and Zhou Yu gasped in unison.

"Impossible!" If Sun Jian was only a little concerned before, then his face has completely changed at this moment.

If the reinforcements that came were only [-] to [-], then it would be better to say that I could handle it myself.But with an army of [-] to [-], Sun Jian felt uncomfortable.

Although the fall of Xuchang is imminent, the opponent has 6000 people anyway, and it will take some time to kill them all.

If the opponent's tens of thousands of troops are killed during this period, it will definitely cause a disaster.

You must know that you haven't been able to break into Xuchang City yet, and if your 5 people are blocked by the opponent's [-] or [-] people outside the east gate, then you will be desperate.

And don't forget, there are still 6000 Cao Jun's people on the other side of the city gate.Although these 6000 people do not pose any threat to themselves at all, once the enemy reinforcements arrive, these 6000 people can echo the tens of thousands of troops at a distance, forming a pincer attack from both sides, which is enough to cause considerable casualties to our own army.

"Gong Jin, what should we do now?" Sun Jian asked Zhou Yu.

"According to your estimation, how long will it take for the enemy army to arrive here?" Zhou Yu heard Sun Jian's question, but did not answer immediately, but continued to ask the messenger.

"I guess it won't take much time, about half an hour." The orderly replied.

Zhou Yu was very dissatisfied with this answer, and it was an estimate and a generalization.But now he didn't have time to reprimand the messenger, and it was really difficult for him to accurately guess the speed of the enemy army in such a short period of time.

"My lord, it seems that we have to retreat temporarily." Zhou Yu said to Sun Jian after a little thought.

This is also a helpless move. Xuchang is in sight, and no one wants to fall short.However, the accident has already happened. If we carry on at this time, it may lead to irreparable consequences.

Withdraw troops?Sun Jian's body trembled, Xuchang City was close in front of him, how could he be willing to retreat just like that.

"Why don't we gather the rest of the siege forces and fight Cao Jun?" The power of the world is close at hand, and Sun Jian really doesn't want to give up.

"My lord, don't do it!" Zhou Yu advised, "Recall the siege troops from all the sects. Although our numbers are not inferior to Cao's army, the defenders in the city are no longer restrained. You must know that there are still tens of thousands of defenders in the city. At that time, if he joins forces with Cao's army outside the city, our army will be attacked from both sides, and the situation will only become more dangerous."

Sun Jian pondered for a moment, and finally ordered helplessly: "The whole army retreats!"

The order was passed on to the other three gates, and Sun Jian's troops outside each gate retreated one after another after receiving the order, gathered ten miles away from the east gate, and set up camp.

The reinforcements outside the city did not enter the city either, and set up camp outside the east gate, and their camp was about ten miles away from Sun Jian.
