Fight?! How to fight?! Who can retreat and kill him? If you go up to him, it will only give you a head.

Cao Jun smiled bitterly.

Behind Zhang He, drums were beating, and there were battle flags and dust flying in all directions. It seemed that with just one order, he could fight to the death with the Yanzhou soldiers.

This was a bluff. Cheng Yu knew it. But no matter how much he thought that Sima Yi couldn't conjure up many soldiers and horses out of thin air, he couldn't stop what Cao's army would think!

Cheng Yu didn't even need to look back, he could imagine the expressions of the entire Cao army.

Who doesn’t look frightened, who doesn’t have two sides fighting? Fear of the unknown number of enemies!

Cheng Yu weighed and weighed again. The most important thing now was to retreat first and then counterattack! But he also understood better that once the opportunity was lost and he was at a disadvantage, it would be extremely difficult to come back.

But does he have any choice? Now that he is fighting to the death, he is simply at a disadvantage. Moreover, the morale of the military has begun to waver, and fighting at this time will only increase the disadvantages.

Cheng Yu then held up his hands and said: "In that case, why don't you, General Zhang, give way and let our army retreat. You and I will be in peace, okay?!"

Zhang He said: "That's very good. Master Cheng will withdraw his troops, and our army will also withdraw its troops. You and I will each retreat thirty miles."

Cheng Yu nodded and passed on the order.

Zhang He then stepped back and let Cheng Yu lead the Yanzhou soldiers to retreat.

"General, I'm afraid that after they retreat and surround us, they will counterattack our army." Zhang He, the general on the left and right, said: "Why not pursue them now? They will be outnumbered and defeated!"

"We have few soldiers and many soldiers in Yanzhou. If we want to carry out encirclement tactics, our army can't do it at all. Instead of being in a stalemate and being consumed by the opponent, it is better to let it go and fight again!" Zhang He said: "At this time, Cheng Yu must be on guard with all his heart.

Prevent our army from attacking behind and making a sneak attack. It is the time when the morale of the army is on the defensive. It is not suitable to chase out. It is better to wait and fight again. I have made a plan. You must not be impatient. This battle must not be fought with the intention of fighting.

Maintain a determined mentality. Otherwise, you will be defeated."

Zhang He wanted to conserve his own strength as much as possible while consuming Cheng Yu. Otherwise, even if he defeated Cheng Yu, he would be short of men and horses. How could he be able to intimidate the cities of Yecheng and Jizhou?!

Those people are as cumbrous as anything, and Zhang He knows their peeing properties very well.

Therefore, Zhang He's purpose is not even to eliminate Cheng Yu. Elimination is unrealistic. The purpose is to repel him. Just drive him out of Jizhou!

If you want to accomplish this, it will not be accomplished overnight when you are short of manpower.

The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to fall into Cheng Yu's plan. Therefore, Zhang He has full patience!

Cheng Yu retreated first with his elite troops, and all subsequent camps followed.

After Zhang He and Sima Yi's ambush troops met up, they exchanged names, and then waited until Cheng Yu was almost gone before they began to pursue him at full speed.

At this time, after Cao's army fled in a panic and saw that the pursuers had not arrived, they naturally let out a sigh of relief. This was the time when they were most tired and were about to rest.

Suddenly it was reported that Zhang He led his troops and horses to divide into several groups, and they pursued him.

Cheng Yu didn't even have time to redistribute his formation to prepare for battle, so he had to rush the entire army to fight, and he naturally suffered a loss.

After fighting for a while, Cao's soldiers were defeated again and fled again.

Cheng Yu suddenly felt very regretful at this time. He regretted that he did not have a general in his camp who could preside over this war. If there was a general, why would he be like this?!

This is what fighting is like. If you lose again and again and your morale is low, you must flee immediately, otherwise the deserters will scatter like clouds.

So I was a little panicked and couldn't choose a way.

Unexpectedly, another army came forward to cut off their retreat, and shouted: "Zhang He's men are here, where is Cheng Yu?! Give me a knife!"

Cao Jun was shocked and couldn't help but rush to fight. They had been caught off guard by the ambush before, and now there was another army blocking their way. How could they have any fighting spirit? In addition, Zhang He and his troops were chasing rabbits.

Chase them. If they escape quickly, Zhang He will chase them slowly. If they escape slowly, Zhang He will start chasing them until they are exhausted. How can they have any fighting spirit with these soldiers and horses at this time?

War?!

For a moment, I cried for my father and mother, threw away my helmet and armor and ran away.

There were a few people who loyally protected Cheng Yu and fled with their elite troops, but they were unable to resist at all.

Cheng Yu couldn't help but feel sad and murmured: "Yu is a sinner. He knew that he was incompetent as a general, but he still wanted to capture Ye City. He was so blinded that he was unprepared. He fell into such a situation and left Cao's army alone.

We are in a dangerous place, with such a defeat, how can Yu have the face to meet Duke Cao!?"

Then cry.

The people who were following him also cried, and said with tears: "It is not because you are incompetent, but because you are decisive. However, it is like this because there is no general to preside over the war. Otherwise, our Cao army would be defeated like this with such strength."

”

Just a little opening and closing caused them to do this.

Cheng Yu couldn't help but feel discouraged. He knew in his heart that there was no hope of seizing Ye and Jizhou. Although he was not willing to give in, he also knew the principle of retreating when he saw defeat. If he knew it but did nothing and continued to fight, then the gains would really outweigh the losses.

If you can't advance, you can only retreat.

As long as he sticks to his duty and protects Yanzhou from being invaded, he will have lived up to Duke Cao’s trust!

Cao Jun was blocked by soldiers and horses who fought for a while. Zhang He arrived with his soldiers and horses. There was another fight, and then they chased for a long time, and then they slowly distanced themselves.

But Cheng Yu just wanted to run back to Yanzhou. After getting rid of Zhang He, when counting the troops, Cheng Yu couldn't help but feel sad. He shed tears and wrote a tearful letter to Cao Cao, claiming that he was an incompetent person.

The opportunity is in front of him, but he has no ability to realize it and pick the fruits for Cao Gong and make great contributions. He is ashamed to see Cao Gong again. Then he mentioned that Sima Yi is extremely talented and has outstanding abilities. With such a person in Hebei, I am afraid he will have to

Be careful. With him helping Xuzhou, I'm afraid it will be difficult. I'm afraid there will be many twists and turns in the matter of the four states' ownership in the future. I remind Cao Cao to handle it carefully.

Then he said that even if the sinner could not win Yecheng and Jizhou for Cao Gong, he would definitely defend Yanzhou so that Cao Gong would have no worries. The sinner's ability is limited, and there is only so much he can do.

This letter makes everyone shed tears just by looking at it.

Cheng Yu counted the army and found that almost half of it was lost, and all the baggage, food and grass were lost.

No matter how unwilling we are, we can only return to Yanzhou in embarrassment to guard Yanzhou to avoid further setbacks.

"The fox came here with the intention of grabbing a piece of meat, but he was unable to do so. Not only did he not eat the meat, but he was also beaten all over his head." A dead man from Xuzhou laughed and said: "These grains and grass are not just ready-made gifts.

Our food?! She traveled far and wide to send food. I have to thank Cheng Yu for this kindness..."

The tone was mocking, with a hint of ridicule.

"This is called stealing the chicken but losing the rice!" After saying that, he laughed, staggering around, and even seemed a little unable to stand or sit.

Such military discipline would not have been possible in Zhang He's army.

However, no one will underestimate these people.

Anyone who can sting someone in Jizhou for a long time without being discovered is a ruthless person. And they even saw how ferocious they were in battle. One general even had a big wound on his face. It was very ferocious, but he couldn't face it.

He changed his attitude, and even made fun of others there.

When they fight, they don't care about their lives, they go crazy and risk their lives. They are not afraid of death at all.

When they are not fighting, they are never serious when joking.

Both good and evil, the true nature of a man!

Zhang He thought, these people, if judged by common sense, are really not regular soldiers. However, the soldiers who have been able to lurk in Jizhou for such a long time certainly cannot be completely regular soldiers. It is inevitable that such people have some traces of

They have some inexplicable habits. If they hadn't seen their ferocious appearance in battle, I'm afraid everyone in Zhang He's army would still look down on this ruffianism.

Looking at it now, this style may be similar to Lu Bu's.

A general came up in front of Zhang He, smiled and said, "Fortunately, General Zhang came to help, otherwise all the brothers in our army would be buried in the ground today!"

These words made Zhang He stand in awe.

What kind of soldier is this? This is a soldier of dead soldiers. Even if he does not hesitate to die, he must hold back Cheng Yu's will to cripple him.

Zhang He said: "He has really not helped at all. The general is really exaggerating. Compared with your bravery, He is nothing."

Very ashamed.

"No, generals like General Zhang are the real generals. Our army is only used in special situations. The regular army is the norm in the army. When it comes to war, it is actually a bad idea to consume the enemy's army with death.

, But right now, I have to do it." The general was very young, but very knowledgeable, and said with a smile: "If everyone is not afraid of death but is willing to die, how can Xuzhou continue to develop the future?! General Zhang's talent lies in leading the army.

Combat is about assessing the situation, not fighting to the death. In this way, the war can be won with strategic victory."

Zhang He didn't expect that they had such knowledge, and he was stunned for a long time.

After everyone left, they set up camp to rest. Zhang He then heard the counselor beside him say: "I have found out clearly that they are a special unit in the Huwei Army."

"Special arms..." Zhang He was a little confused and said: "If everyone in the Xuzhou army is not afraid of death and comes here, who in the world can stop it?!"

The counselors and generals were also a little surprised and said: "If this is true, this is no ordinary soldier."

Soldiers only know how to lead soldiers and go into battle to kill the enemy, but these soldiers know how to inherit the will.

They have the transmission of fire.

That kind of shock makes people feel respectful.

Something that is unclear.

If this kind of knowledge is universal, then everyone in Xuzhou's army can build a fire, and everyone can mount a horse to fight. Who else in the world belongs to Xuzhou?!

Their specialness lies in their will, not in their military discipline.

When they are not fighting, they are very relaxed and a bit undisciplined, and they even joke about each other's wounds.

They would also earnestly pay homage to their dead comrades, turn them into ashes, then sweep them up, carry them on their backs, and carry them with them. However, they would still laugh at his bad fate, that he died like this and could not live to see the glory again. In fact,

It's a pity.
