Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 261 I can't fight anymore, let's withdraw too

At this time, the fierce battle at Guandu was no less than Wuchao.Seeing the beacon fire, Yuan Shao sent Han Meng to rescue according to Guo Tu's serial plan, and ordered Gao Lan and Zhang Nan to bring [-] elite soldiers to storm Guandu, with Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen brothers as lieutenants.

Cao Jun's defense was very difficult. They were far less prepared than Yuan Jun, and they were attacked before they had time to eat.

Yuan Jun prepared countless long ladders to put on the long base, and the soldiers rushed upwards risking arrows.At the back of the attacking team, there are thousands of archers shooting against Cao Jun, suppressing Cao Jun's archers and providing support for the attack.

Cao Jun could only start a hand-to-hand battle with Yuan Jun, one batch fell and another came up. Hundreds of people died on both sides in one attack. The ferocity far exceeded Cao Jun's expectations.

Within a short time, Zhang Liao led 3000 people to act as a firefighting team, and was finally forced to join Zhang Xiu's left defense, barely blocking Zhang Nan's attack.The right line of defense defended by the Xuzhou Army is even more dangerous.

"Junyi, we are almost unstoppable. In less than an hour, 5000 people have been injured and killed, and [-] people have died in battle." Chen Dao said anxiously to Zhang Jaw, "I have asked the Chinese army for help several times, Mr. Xun You They said they couldn’t send reinforcements. What should we do?”

Zhang Ja was even more anxious, he patrolled around, there were shouts of killing everywhere, there were wounded everywhere around him, and the medical officer had no time to treat him.The combat effectiveness of the Runan troops supplemented by the Cracked Earth Battalion was still relatively weak, and they were disabled at this time. It was only thanks to the hard work of the Panshi Battalion that they avoided fleeing.

"You take the old man's barracks up, and push them to the front. I hope you can support them longer, and the lord can rush back in time." The old man's barracks has the strongest combat effectiveness, but with Zhang Jaw's last wealth, only Zhou Cang is left. What can 100 people do without the [-] guards they brought with them.

Zhang Jaw carefully observed the changes on the battlefield. How could the momentum of Yuan Shaojun's attack not weaken at all? He had already seen the word "Gao" on Yuan Jun's flag.

"Is it Gao Lan? Let's see who of us can last till the end!"

Suddenly his eyes paused, hehe, how could he forget it.Zhang Jai secretly called himself careless, if he could have thought of it earlier, how could he cause such a big loss.He immediately summoned a hundred guards.

"Two of you form a team. Immediately gather active lightly wounded soldiers, push the catapult back a hundred steps, and throw stones out of the long base. In addition, send someone to notify Xun You and Guo Jia, and ask him to do the same."

The personal guards immediately and quickly selected hundreds of lightly wounded people and pushed the catapults back a hundred paces, and it was too late to issue a unified order, and they threw stones freely as soon as the catapults were in place.Although he was about to panic, after several rounds of throwing stones, Yuan Jun's attack slowed down, Chen Dao's pressure was much lighter, and the operation of the catapult began to be orderly.

After hundreds of catapults were in place, countless stones began to fly in the sky. At this time, there was no need to calibrate, just throw them in the direction of Yuan Jun.

Other injuries are put into the process of collecting stones, large, small, and scattered, as long as they can be used, all are thrown out.Some soldiers simply took off their jackets, wrapped them in sand, and threw them at Yuan Jun.In the sky, like a goddess scattering flowers, the small stones spread over a larger area and are more lethal.The clothes wrapped in mud spread out in the air, and the sand and soil flew up. It had no lethality, but it could fascinate Yuan Jun's eyes and block the soldiers' sight. Yuan Jun was miserable.

Seeing that this method was effective, Zhang Jai ordered the general's tent to be cut open, made into a bag wrapped in soil, and thrown out.

Yuan Jun's soldiers who were fighting in the front felt that there were fewer and fewer people behind them. Looking back, the people behind were avoiding stones. Looking up again, good guy, the stones are flying around.I am still foolishly fighting hard in front, and I can't fight anymore, so let's withdraw too.Yuan Jun, commanded by Gao Lan, began to retreat from the right, but Zhong Jin couldn't stop him.

Zhang Jaw shouted loudly: "The catapult pushes forward fifty steps!"

At the same time, Guo Jia also issued almost the same order, except that he ordered to advance thirty steps.

Gao Lan and Zhang Nan commanded the attack from behind. Although thousands of people had been lost, the situation was good. They climbed Cao Jun's long base several times, and they looked like they were about to rush in. As long as they broke through a little, they were sure to tear a hole. Digging hard into Cao Junguan's camp, the brothers Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen were ready to lead the charge in person.

When I was happy, I saw stones of different sizes flying, and the soldiers couldn't dodge, and their heads were bleeding.

The two immediately summoned a hundred swordsmen and axemen to form a supervisory team, "Shields go forward, swordsmen line up, and those who retreat will be killed! The first to attack Cao's camp will be rewarded with a hundred gold!"

Yuan Jun's shieldmen raised their shields to protect the top of their heads, and those in the front row blocked in front of them and launched another attack on the long base.Before approaching the long base, stones fell all over the sky, crackling and smashing on the shield. The shield bearer had to protect the top of his head and pay attention to his feet. After several rounds of stone rain fell, the formation began to become chaotic, and the more chaotic the more chaotic.

The defenders of the long base can organize the defense calmly and shoot their own soldiers, while Yuan Jun's archers entered to avoid Cao Jun's stone throwing. The soldiers are going to die.

After Yuan Jun tried to attack twice, he dropped more than a thousand corpses and retreated again. Even the slashing and killing by swordsmen could not stop Yuan Jun's retreat.

Gao Lan sighed, he could no longer force the soldiers to attack. If the force was too tight, the camp would be blown up. At that time, Cao Jun would make another countercharge, and that would be a rout. "withdraw troops!"

Seeing that Gao Lan had withdrawn his troops, Zhang Nan also ordered them to return to the camp.Seeing Yuan Jun retreating, Cao Jun in the long base cheered in unison, celebrating the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

Xun You and Guo Jia exclaimed that they were lucky. If there were no catapults, whether Guandu could be held or not was another matter.Gao Lan retreated in an orderly manner. The two dared not send troops to pursue them, and the soldiers were powerless to pursue them. They lay on the ground panting heavily.

"It's so risky. I don't know what's going on with the lord, but Yuan Jun seems to have been prepared for it." Guo Jia said worriedly.

"I also feel the same way. I have made people look at Xu You and sent out scouts to find out the news." Xun You said. "My lord Jiren has his own aura, so he must be able to retreat from the province. It's just that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to me."

"Not necessarily. It may not be known if there will be a turning point after this battle." Guo Jia rarely had a serious look on his face. "Order the soldiers to be divided into three groups, one group to monitor Yuan Jun to prevent Yuan Jun from attacking again, one group to take time to eat and rest, and one group to rescue the wounded."

It wasn't until near midday that Cao Cao led the tiger and leopard riders back to Guandu in a big circle. The scene in front of them can only be described as miserable: corpses, wounded, stumped limbs and arms scattered everywhere.In order to prepare the soil, the ground was dug with potholes, and the low-lying places were filled with blood, and the ground had been dyed red.
