Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 750

The coalition forces retreated and stopped attacking.

The Western Region Mansion was also saved and was not taken away by the coalition forces.

On the city wall, there was also a depression. After the battle, the tense soldiers of the Wei army also relaxed, one after another, lying in the passage of the city wall.

Regardless of the piles of corpses and bloodstains in the passages of the city wall.

From the beginning of the war to the present.

They all felt that after a century, if it weren't for the support of a belief in their hearts, they might have fallen down long ago.

However, the situation today is not much better.

Among the soldiers who were lying down, some soldiers fell into a long sleep. They did not die in battle, but died of exhaustion.

And Cao Cao was also sitting on the steps in front of the city gate, with blood still on his left arm.

Xi Zhicai, who was on the side, was helping Cao Cao bandage his wound.

It was obviously because of the injuries he suffered during the final counterattack, but they were not serious problems. Compared with them, they were considered minor injuries.

at this time.

Xun Yu also walked up the city wall from the city and came to Cao Cao.

Now that the coalition forces have retreated, their crisis has been temporarily lifted, so there is no need to continue to carry out the last step.

The coalition forces did not break through the city, they are still alive, it is impossible to burn the Western Regions Mansion.

"Your Majesty~!" Xun Yu cupped his hands.

Walking up the city wall, seeing the tragic situation here, a look of sadness flashed in his eyes. Although he knew that the war situation would be tragic and he had already made the final plan, but when he actually saw it, he still couldn't help feeling the pain in his heart. mood.

Cao Cao also had a sad look on his face.

Although in the end they survived because Lu Bu led the army, but facing such a scene, even if they got a temporary victory, they couldn't be happy.

"Gather the hundreds of soldiers in the city, leave a hundred to cook, and the rest will take medicine and come to the city wall to treat the wounded soldiers!" Cao Cao instructed Xun Yu.

He also did not expect that the hundreds of soldiers who were originally assigned in the city to carry out the last plan did not play their original role, but were used in this one place.

"promise!"

As soon as Xun Yu cupped his hands, he turned and left, ready to make arrangements.

The current situation on the city wall.

He knew it clearly, but the hundreds of soldiers who stayed in the city still had enough energy to use in this place.

Wait for Xun Yu to leave. ,

Xia Houyuan and other generals also came to Cao Cao from various places on the city wall and reported the situation of wear and tear.

The war is temporarily over.

They still need to count the number of troops who can continue to fight, as well as various supplies.

You must know that the coalition forces are only retreating temporarily, not permanently. If there is no accident, they will continue to attack tomorrow morning.

And they also saw Lu Bu who came to support outside the city, and he led not many troops.

Although the pace of the coalition forces was delayed today, tomorrow, the coalition forces will definitely send a troop to watch out for Lu Jun, and then continue to attack the Western Regions Mansion.

It can be said that their lives are only temporarily saved.

Hearing the report from Xia Houyuan and others.

Cao Cao also frowned.

Seeing the situation of the city wall, he had guesses in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be so tragic.

Of the more than 2 soldiers who stayed in the city, there are now less than [-] left, and the rest were all killed in battle. After the war, more than a thousand soldiers lay down to rest and fell into a deep sleep forever.

There are also some generals and counselors who died in battle.

Such as Li Dian, Yu Jin, Cheng Yu and others.

It can be said that the casualties were heavy.

The only thing to be thankful for is that I have persisted for so long, and finally persisted, although it is only temporary.

"Let the soldiers take a break first, and the rest of the work will be done by the hundreds of soldiers who stayed in the city. After the rest, the bodies of the people who died in battle will be moved back to the city. As for the corpses of the enemy soldiers, they will be thrown away. Get down the city wall!" Cao Cao ordered.

"promise!"

In this regard, Xia Houyuan and others did not have any opinions.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "Although the enemy may not come to attack the city tonight, it is still necessary to take precautions. Even if you are exhausted now, if you can delay a little longer, then Just a little more!"

Although the purpose of delaying time has been achieved now, he is still unwilling to withdraw.

After all, staying here before was just to give the people in the Western Regions time to evacuate, and to report to the Central Plains.

However, even if it is withdrawn.

Just how far can they escape?
It's better to stay in the city, so that you can hold on for a little longer.

"promise!"

Xia Houyuan and others also bowed their hands in response.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Wen and others appear here, maybe the Han army is coming soon!" Xi Zhicai said suddenly.

heard.

Xia Houyuan and the others also looked at Cao Cao with a flash of light in their eyes. This was very good news for them.

Although they didn't know why Lu Bu appeared here, they all knew that Lu Bu had a great relationship with Liu Qi. They didn't see that Liu Qi's younger brother, Liu Cong, was in Lu Bu's army.

Even Lu Bu's soldiers and horses did not fly the banner of Han.

But everyone knows that when he was in the Central Plains, Lu Bu didn't join the struggle for hegemony because he had a lot to do with Liu Qi. In the end, he went to the Nanman land occupied by Liu Qi and gave up Runan.

Even if he didn't make it clear that he was under Liu Qi's command.

In their view, it doesn't matter whether it's obvious or not.

"It's hard to say!" Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Don't forget, Marquis Wen disappeared many years ago. Except for Emperor Han, no one knew where he went, and you don't think there is any time for Marquis Wen to appear. Are the enemy troops outside the city somewhat similar?"

"Although I really want to know the reason, maybe I will never have the chance to know!"

Done.

A gleam of light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes. ,

If it was said that Lu Bu's appearance and the Western coalition forces outside the city had nothing to do with each other, he wouldn't believe it if he was killed.

Well, from here it can be seen that Liu Qi had made arrangements very early on.

The eyes are not only on the land of the Central Plains, but also places outside the Central Plains.

He didn't believe that Lu Bu had been away for many years, and he was just going out for fun, so why would he bring so many soldiers and horses with him.

And from previous battles.

He could still see the combat power displayed by the soldiers and horses led by Lu Bu, and their soldiers and horses were completely incomparable.

thought here.

Also smiled bitterly.

Hear Cao Cao's words.

Xia Houyuan and the others also became silent.

"Okay, let's all take a rest, next, there is still a big battle waiting for us!" Cao Cao said.

"promise!"

Xia Houyuan and others also dispelled the bad thoughts in their minds. Now is not the time to be decadent. With today's soldiers and horses, it will be even more difficult in the future.

As for death, they are not afraid.
