Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1016
The Allied Forces of the Western Regions wanted to withdraw, and Cao Cao wanted to keep the number of troops, but Xiahou Dun's troops blocked the direction in which the people of the Western Regions retreated, while the fires in the other two directions kept burning.

Originally, Cao Cao planned to lure the people from the Western Regions to attack the city to ambush them. Who knew that the people from the Western Regions were not stupid.

Although many poisonous insects were killed by the fire, the opportunity was lost, and Xiahou Dun's troops were directly stopped.

Immediately outside the city was a meat grinder, the soldiers of the two armies fought fiercely, and the sound of killing shocked the world!
Compared with the Allied Forces of the Western Regions, Cao Cao's advantage lies in his excellent military equipment and fierce generals!
Under the impact of Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Xiahou Dun and other fierce generals, the fighting spirit of the people in the Western Regions is getting weaker and weaker.

"Send the order, remove the obstruction, and let them go out!"

Homeland, Cao Cao ordered.

"My lord?" The herald was puzzled.

"Go pass the order!"

"Yes!"

The flag was waved, and Xiahou Dun, who was fighting, couldn't help being dazed.

"General Qi, my lord ordered our troops to disperse!" The messenger reported to Xiahou Dun.

Xiahou Dun killed the enemy and got blood all over his body. Looking around the battlefield, his morale was high, but the number of people was getting smaller and smaller as he fought.

"The general ordered the whole army to retreat!"

Xiahou Dun shouted.

Cao Cao told him to withdraw, he had to withdraw!On the city wall, Cao Cao knew the current battle situation better than him.

As soon as Xiahoudun's troops retreated, the Allied Forces of the Western Regions pressed forward, and the Central Plains people retreated, so they could fight out of the range of the fire.

If you don't kill them, they will all be burned to death!Because it is surrounded by Nebi Beach, there is not much medium to burn. Otherwise, according to Cao Cao's prediction, none of the [-] Western Regions allied forces would even try to escape.

Sand can extinguish fire, which was not expected in Cao Cao's plan. It can be said that the failure of this plan is due to the lack of understanding of the environment.

"King Wusun, let your elites fight to block the Central Plains people, we have to retreat!"

Queen Shache said.

"Why not your Shache warriors?"

King Wusun was not very happy, blocking the people of the Central Plains is easy to say, but if you really do it, you will have to pay a price.

"If you want to fight to the death with the Central Plains people here, you don't have to go!" Queen Shache said through gritted teeth.

Half of his Shache elite had been knocked out long ago, so he didn't have the strength to stop the Central Plains people.

"Okay, for the sake of our alliance, the Wusun Kingdom will sacrifice a bit, pass on the king's order, and the warriors of the Wusun Kingdom will charge forward to block the Central Plains people! The others will retreat!"

King Wusun gave the order, and the elite of Wusun Kingdom rushed out immediately and blocked Xiahoudun's troops strictly.

Xiahoudun, who didn't get the follow-up order, just lined up to defend himself and didn't attack again.

The elite of Wusun Kingdom saw that the Central Plains people in front of them didn't move, and they didn't move either, confronting each other tacitly.

The other soldiers of the Allied Forces of the Western Regions, under the leadership of Queen Shache and King Wusun, quickly evacuated, leaving behind a lot of corpses...

"My lord, why did you order me to retreat just now?"

The people from the Western Regions withdrew, and Xiahou Dun immediately asked Cao Cao when he returned to the city.

"Most of the dry firewood and kerosene buried in advance were covered by the people of the Western Regions with sand and stones. The fire could not spread, and our army could only fight with them. We are outsiders, and fighting hard is not the way to win."

Cao Cao explained.

This time, he was indeed careless. It seems that he still hasn't thoroughly studied the environment of the Western Regions.

"It's a pity, if we can wipe out most of the coalition forces in the Western Regions, we can continue to move forward." Xiahou Dun said regretfully.

"The only solution now is to wait for reinforcements to arrive." Cao Cao said helplessly, "Is there still no news of reinforcements from the scouts?"

"Not yet. I don't know where the reinforcements are. There is still food left in the city, so we can hold on." Xiahou Dun said.

It is impossible to attack again. This time, the war is a bit anticlimactic.

The coalition forces of the Western Regions were killed by them a lot, and they themselves lost a large number of soldiers. The losses of the two sides were not much different.No one can take advantage of it.

Now Khotan still has reserves, and the army must guard here, and the people of the Western Regions have nothing to do with them.And this is also the best choice for the army to conquer the west.Now they want to preserve their strength and not go out and be consumed by poisonous insects.

……

Because the supply line of the Western Conqueror Army was broken, Zhang Xiong entered the Western Regions without knowing where Cao Cao was going.In desperation, the White Tiger Legion could only divide into two groups and search along both sides of the desert.

Zhang Xiong led 5000 people and marched along the north side of the desert, while Huang Zhong led 1 people and marched along the south side of the desert.

Although it was divided into two parts, but the combat strength of the White Tiger Legion was there, and they brought enough supplies, basically nothing would happen.

It's just that the White Tiger Legion has mostly infantry, so they move very slowly!

Mu Lu and Huang Zhong walked along the southern line of the desert. When they arrived at Jingjue, they found traces of the army marching to the west.

On the Gobi Desert, the soldiers of the White Tiger Army found a new cemetery, and the tombstones in front of the tomb all read the tomb of XX, the Western Shu Expeditionary Army.

The scale of the cemetery is not large, here, the Western Expeditionary Army did not suffer much loss, since Huang Zhong found the trace of the army, he immediately sent Jingqi to chase Zhang Xiong.

Going around from the north of the desert is not only an option but also dangerous.

It was no longer necessary to take risks when we found traces of the West Conquering Army on the southern line, but the people sent by Huang Zhong did not find Zhang Xiong.

In the Western Regions, there are often sandstorms. Once the windstorm passes, all traces are covered up, and there is no way to find them.

Unable to recover Zhang Xiong's troops, Huang Zhong had no choice but to continue forward with 1 horses, looking for the army to conquer the west.

The southern line was basically swept by Cao Cao's army to conquer the west, and the people from the western regions here were all trembling with fear when they saw the Shu army.

Asking the local people from the Western Regions to inquire, Huang Zhong learned that it has been a while since the Zhengxi army passed here, and wherever the Zhengxi army went, the chickens and dogs were restless, and the country was wiped out.

It's not easy for Huang Zhong to comment on Cao Cao's approach, but the Shu army killed too much in the Western Regions, which is not a good thing after all.

Thinking of his mission, Huang Zhong led the troops to continue forward, scouting for news along the way!
About half a month later, Huang Zhong's troops were resting in a shady place, when suddenly a group of camel soldiers charged here aggressively.

"Bowmen prepare, infantry line up to meet the enemy!!"

Huang Zhong immediately gave the order, and the soldiers quickly formed a battle formation!
"Don't shoot arrows, we are the Western Expeditionary Army!"

"Don't shoot arrows, your own people!"

Huang Zhong's hand was hovering in the air, and he didn't give the order to attack when he heard the shout from the opposite person.

A dozen camel soldiers rushed to the front of the formation, rolled over and fell.

Dozens of soldiers were overjoyed to see that Huang Zhong was holding the flag ahead, their chapped lips were covered with blood from the smile.

"General Huang, hurry to Khotan, the Allied Forces of the Western Regions are attacking the city, quickly rescue General Zhengxi, save the brothers."

A soldier shouted excitedly.

"Give them some water!" Huang Zhong ordered, looking at the dozen or so soldiers whose throats were smoking.

After drinking the water, these soldiers also spoke a lot more sharply. Huang Zhong learned from them that Khotan is ahead, and the [-] Western Region coalition forces are storming Khotan King City.
