Chapter 744

It can be said that Cao Cao's and Liu Bei's offensives stagnated under Zhang Xiu's small skill. Such a small means caused heavy losses to the 30000 troops who attacked.

Liu Bei was not reconciled. He quickly said, "Cao Sikong, you still have 30000 excellent soldiers. Send them all. If we don't break Yin county now, it will be more difficult to break Yin County next. "

Cao Cao looks uncertain.

He had watched Liu Bei's 20000 troops go up to fight, and his heart was very happy. He expected Liu Bei's army to weaken Zhang Xiu's strength. But now, all hope is gone.

Guo Jia suggested: "Lord, Zhang Xiu's means are endless. The current situation is not suitable for fighting again. If we take all the troops, we can't win yet. This war will be a complete failure. We can't put all our eggs in one basket. "

Cao Cao nodded.

He agreed with Guo Jia's analysis.

As Guo Jia said, once all the troops were exhausted, but Yin County could not be conquered, Cao Cao would have to go back to his home and could not attack Zhang Xiu any more. Even in this war, the territory he captured was out of control.

"Withdraw

Cao Cao gave the order directly.

"No, we can't retreat!"

Liu Bei's eyes were covered with blood, his hands clenched into fists, and he cried out: "Cao Sikong, don't attack now. Next to attack Yin County, it will be extremely difficult. This is the only chance. We can't withdraw! "

Cao Cao said flatly: "Liu Xuande, you should know whether to attack or retreat. You can even ask Zhuge Liang, the military adviser around you, who knows the situation very well. "

"Withdraw!"

Cao Cao ordered again.

"Dang! Dang! "

The sound of the Gong is constantly ringing.

When Cao's soldiers heard this, they stopped rushing forward and retreated like a tide. So did Liu Bei's soldiers when they were ordered. When the army retreated, Zhang Xiu did not pursue the city, but ordered the soldiers to stop throwing bows and arrows and stones.

Zhang Xiu's eyes fall on Liu Bei's position.

Cao Cao had led the troops to retreat, but Liu Bei did not follow. At this time, Liu Bei turned over and dismounted, came to Zhang Fei's body silently, squatted down and held Zhang Fei's cold hand.

A pair of bright eyes, but gradually full of tears.

Liu Bei choked in silence.

His third brother will never come back.

He suppressed his emotions, but gradually, he could not suppress them any more, so that he cried.

Guan Yu also withdraws. He looks at Zhang Fei, who has fallen to the ground and his face has been deformed. He sighs in his heart. Deep down in his heart, it seems that there are ants gnawing at him. He wants to kill Zhang Xiu to get revenge.

It's just that there's nothing he can do.

Zhuge Liang and the rest of the soldiers stood around, all silent.

After a long time, Liu Bei wiped the tears in his eyes. He stood up, looked up at the direction of Yin County tower, and tried to roar: "Zhang Xiu, I Liu Bei, and you will never die."

"Withdraw!"

After the evacuation, Liu Bing took the lead.

Zhang Xiu looks at the direction of Liu Bei's evacuation with a sneer in her heart. He heard Liu Bei's words just now. Liu Bei's cruel words are very fierce, but in fact, in front of Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei's strength is not enough.

Now, the war has just begun.

Today's defense is only Zhang Xiu's first step.

Next, when Liu Bei and Cao Cao's army are stationed, it is time to deal with Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Zhang Xiu didn't take charge of the retreating Liu Bei and told the soldiers to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield. When the corpses on the upper floor of the city are cleaned up, the city gate is opened again, and the corpses outside the city are cleaned up, and the bows and arrows shot out, as well as the stones that have not been broken, are recovered.

They are reusable.

It was evening when everything was finished.

Zhang Yan came to Zhang Xiu's room in a hurry and reported: "Lord, the results of today's World War I have been counted out. The soldiers in our army have lost more than 1300 people. More than 13000 enemies were killed. Today, all the soldiers who died in the war have been registered, and so have those who were injured, so that they can receive all the pensions and awards. All the bodies have been sent to one side for burning. "

Zhang Xiuyan said: "the loss of more than 13000 people is mainly caused by Liu Bei. Cao Cao's troops have suffered little damage. Even so, Cao Cao and Liu Bei still have tens of thousands more troops than us. "

Zhang Yan said: "after the first World War, Cao Cao and Liu Bei should stop for a while. At least, if we don't have full assurance, we should not attack again. "

Zhang Xiu said: "we don't care what Cao Cao and Liu Bei intend. Next, it's time for us to get ready to attack. Just wait for the royal guards to report back and find the right wind direction. "

Zhang Yan also nodded.

In today's situation, we can only wait for the right wind direction, and then use the flying ball to achieve success, which is the key to winning by surprise.

At this time, Wang entered in a hurry.

Wang Yue looked solemn and reported: "my Lord, we have found out where Cao Cao and Liu Bei camped. The two men's army encamped twelve miles south of Yin County, backed by a river and in front of an open land. It's hard to find an ambush around it. Cao Cao and Liu Bei camped together. "When Zhang Xiu heard this, she waved her hand to Wang Yue and Zhang Yan. Then he arranged for Hu Mo to be called and asked about the current situation of the flying ball. Finally, he said, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army are already stationed twelve miles away. Pay close attention to the wind direction. If there is a suitable wind direction tonight, take action immediately without delay. "

"Here it is

Hu Mo hugged his fist and answered.

He hopes to send troops. Only when the wind direction is right can he succeed and make contributions.

Zhang Xiu asked Hu Mo to step down and go to the barracks in the city to check the soldiers' injuries and comfort them at the same time. This is what Zhang Xiu often does. It seems that it's a very trivial move. In fact, it's a great encouragement to the soldiers.

Therefore, even if she is tired, Zhang Xiu also wants to express sympathy around the wounded camp.

At night, the cook in the army had dinner.

After dinner, Zhang Xiu came to the tower and observed the wind direction tonight.

The moon is bright and starry tonight. But there is no star in the sky. In such a moonlight, the soldiers in the army were on their way all night. Even without torches, they could see clearly.

Sima Yi came to Zhang Xiu's side and stood quietly without speaking.

Both were silent.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiu said, "Zhong Da, do you think Zhang Ya and Pang Tong are going south to attack Yizhou

Sima Yi said: "I'm afraid it's not going well. After all, Zhang Ren is at Jianmen pass. Even though Zhang Ren's troops are weak, there are natural dangers at Jianmen pass. It's not easy to enter Jianmen pass. However, I believe that as long as general Zhang is not defeated and the current situation is maintained, that is enough. "

"That's true!"

Zhang Xiu nodded and answered.

"Lord, the wind is changing. The wind is beginning to change."

All of a sudden, Wang Yue yelled. He came to Zhang Xiu's side and said, "now the wind direction has become the south wind. The direction of Cao Cao and Liu Bei is just to the south of us. It's right for us to send troops tonight. "

"Step on it! Step on it

At this time, it was the sound of hasty footsteps, but Hu Mo came to Zhang Xiu with an excited look on his face. After bowing, he solemnly said: "Taiwei, everything is ready. Now the south wind is blowing, and I'm ready to send troops. "

Zhang Xiu ordered: "Zhang Yan!"

"The end will be here!"

Zhang Yan is not far away. He is in charge of patrolling at night. As soon as he hears Zhang Xiu's words, he runs quickly.

Zhang xiudao said: "send the order down, mobilize the Heishan army under your command, and then mobilize Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong to fight all night. Tonight, we break Cao Cao's camp. In the city of Yin County, one thousand soldiers can be left to guard. "

"Here it is

Zhang Yan got the order, and immediately sent the order.
