"In two days, Wancheng will not be able to defend it. We have to retreat back to Xinye as soon as possible and set up another defense line, otherwise Xiangyang will be the same as Xu Du in the past."

Guo Jia spread out a map of the military advisor, pointed to Runan's location, and said: "If Runan is also lost, Wenhe and others can only retreat to Lu'an and meet with Sun Quan and others in Huainan, but if Runan is gone, Lujiang will be in danger."

If Lujiang is in danger, their weapons factories will have to be relocated, which will have a great impact on weapon production and will also affect the root of their counterattack.

In addition, Chen Yang's family is all in Lujiang, which is the most important point. If Chen Yang comes back and sees that Lujiang is no longer there, what should we do?

"I still feel ashamed of Zi'an!"

Cao Cao looked at Lujiang on the map and felt a deep sense of worry in his heart.

"Prime Minister, it's not good!"

At this moment, Zhang He hurried in and said nervously: "The enemy gathered under the city again and prepared to attack Wancheng again."

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, a cannon sounded and appeared under the city.

Cao Cao and others quickly put on their armor and hurried to the city tower. They saw that Zhang Liao and Gao Lan were already here, commanding the defense of the troops and horses, and all the artillery was pushed up.

Le Jin led more than 2,000 people, rushed out of the city gate to resist, fighting with enemy generals Wang Ji and others.

Tadun ordered the soldiers to set up a ladder and start siege the city, fighting fiercely.

Wancheng can barely block it again, but it is almost as much as they can support it.

The war lasted until the evening of this day and finally stopped. The enemy could not defeat Wancheng for the time being, so they had to retreat.

"I've been able to defend the city on the first day."

Guo Jia counted the supplies for a while and said worriedly: "Now our shells are less than 200 left, and all the crossbow arrows of the crossbow are used up. Tomorrow, the death will be fought to the death. I am worried that I will never be able to defend Wancheng anymore."

He bowed his hand and said, "Prime Minister, please leave Wancheng, retreat to Xinye first, and then strike back."

Zhang He and others hurriedly said, "Please leave Wancheng and retreat to Xinye."

Cao Cao stood up and whispered: "If you don't leave, I will stay here with you and fight to the death until the city is broken."

He has decided not to leave no matter what.

The news that Cao Cao was preparing to stick to the end with them instantly spread throughout the military camp. After hearing this, all the soldiers burst into tears and their fighting spirit was rekindled.

At noon the next day, the drum on the city tower rang again, and the enemy came to attack Wancheng again.

"Punch all the shells."

Cao Cao drew his long sword and whispered: "When the city is broken, all the soldiers will follow me to kill the enemy!"

"kill!"

A deafening sound rang out on the city tower at the same time.

"Prime Minister, no, they actually retreated."

Guo Jia suddenly pointed to the enemy's direction and shouted: "Come and see, all the enemies are retreating."

After everyone's passion subsided, they looked at it, but when they saw the enemy who was about to approach the city wall, they stopped for a moment and retreated to the north. They didn't even have time to withdraw the tents in the military camp, which seemed very hasty.

"how so?"

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, but then said loudly: "You can't be careless, you're just afraid of fraud."

They waited for more than half an hour, and the enemies outside walked cleanly and completely, leaving nothing.

"Prime Minister, I am willing to lead a thousand people out of the city to find out what's going on." Gao Lan bowed and said.

"Accurate!" Cao Cao nodded.

The gate of Wancheng opened wide, Gao Lan led his troops out of the city and headed straight to the enemy's camp. He found that there was no one inside, and even the supplies were too late to take away.

"Scatter to find it to see if there is an ambush."

Gao Lan said.

A thousand soldiers were divided into ten groups and quickly dispersed, searching the neighborhoods and not seeing any enemies.

"Did you really retreat?"

Gao Lan did not dare to neglect and hurried back to tell Cao Cao the news.

"How can the enemy retreat for no reason? Explore again!"

Cao Cao whispered: "Wenyuan, you lead two thousand people to chase you. I want to see if the enemy has really retreated."

Zhang Liao responded and left the city.

"Prime Minister, do you think Zi'an's plan has been successful? The northern and Xianbei people attacked Jin State, and Sima Yi had to withdraw his troops?" Guo Jia suddenly thought of this.

"Is Zi'an successful?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly: "That's right, Zi'an must have succeeded, hahaha..."

An hour later, when Zhang Liao came back, he said that they had chased the enemy's rear army and they had really retreated.

——

At the same time, the same was true in Runan City.

Originally, the fight was very good, and Runan was about to be unable to hold on and was about to be defeated. The enemy outside suddenly retreated, which made Jia Xu and the others confused.

Cao Ren sent people out of the city to find out clearly that the enemy had really retreated, and everyone in the barracks walked cleanly without leaving anybody.

Victory is in sight, how could the enemy all suddenly retreat?

This is very abnormal!

"If I'm not mistaken, Zi'an's plan in Xianbei must have been successful."

Jia Xu thought a lot at this moment and said, "If this is not the case, how could the enemy retreat?"

When Cao Ren heard this, he was overjoyed and shouted: "Come here, fight with me and chase and retreat."

Jia Xu shook his head quickly and said, "No, you will be defeated if you chase after me now!"

Cao Ren said firmly: "We were pressed and beaten for so long, and all the soldiers couldn't swallow this. Since the enemy retreated, they would definitely make trouble. If they don't pursue them now, when will they wait?"

He did not obey Jia Xu's words, insisted on fighting, leading two thousand people to chase after him.

As soon as he chased the enemy's retreat, he suddenly saw two thousand elite cavalry lying here and rushed over.

Cao Ren could not resist it and was defeated, so he had to escape back to Runan.

"I regret not listening to Wenhe's words." Cao Ren came back with the remaining soldiers and said in shame.

"You can definitely win after chasing now," Jia Xu said again.

Cao Ren didn't believe it, so Jia Xu asked Xu Huang to fight.

Xu Huang did not refuse and also led two thousand people to chase him away.

When the enemy saw the pursuers coming, they were defeated directly, and the horses and baggage were left in the middle of the road.

Xu Huang dared not fall in love with the battle, defeated the enemy, retreated to Runan, and told everyone about the results of the battle.

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Wenhe, why did you say before that you will lose if you chase the first time, and you will win if you chase the second time, and you will win if you chase the second time, and everything is true?"

With such a brilliant idea, I can almost catch up with Chen Yang.

"I'm just a lucky person."

Jia Xu explained: "Although the enemy retreats, they must be cut off the rear with elite troops to prevent pursuit of troops, so General Cao will be defeated. The enemy is eager to retreat, so something must be happening in the north. I said before that Zi'an succeeded. After defeating our pursuers, he must return quickly, be reluctant to leave his guard, and go back as soon as possible, and take advantage of his unpreparedness to pursue him. Therefore, General Xu can win."

"Wenhe is a great opinion!" Cao Ren sighed.

Runan has been defended.

at the same time.

Sun Quan, who was retreating to Huainan, also watched the enemy retreat, and they were all stunned.

As long as you persist for a while, Huainan can't stand it. How could he suddenly retreat?

"It must be Zi'an who succeeded."

Zhou Yu said softly.

They also learned what Chen Yang had done recently.
