Zhuxu county was stationed here, not only with sufficient fortifications, but also with sufficient grain and grass. Even if we want to evacuate, we must remove some of the food and grass. As for the food and grass that can not be taken away, we can only abandon and burn them.
It took half a day for the army to pack up.
At ten o'clock in the evening, all the soldiers in the camp were ready. All the soldiers to be evacuated were in place. As for Dian man, he stayed with the rest of the soldiers, ready to delay the attack of Zhang Xiu's army.
This is the plan today.
By the end of the night, Cao ang did not delay any longer and ordered the troops to withdraw. The mighty army is no longer staying, but leaving the rear camp of the barracks quickly and orderly. Not only that, all the soldiers should keep quiet, and all the horses should not run in a hurry, so as to make too much noise.
The army began to withdraw, but it was not the withdrawal of one hundred and two hundred soldiers, but the withdrawal of tens of thousands of troops. It was impossible to be silent and nobody knew.
In particular, Zhang Xiu specially arranged sentries to keep a close watch around.
After Cao Ang's army left, the sentinel, who was watching secretly, ran back quickly first, then quickly returned to the camp to report the news.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiu sneered in her heart.
At last we retreated.
He waited for Cao ang to withdraw, then destroy Cao Ang's camp in zhuxu County, and then defeat Cao Ang's retreating army. After Zhang Xiu got the news, she ordered the soldiers to drum and raise their troops to gather all the soldiers under her command.
Zhang Xiuxian first dispatched the cavalry of the Feixiong army and the liehu army, and ordered the cavalry of the two armies to attack quickly. They pursued the location detected by the sentry and killed Cao Jun overnight.
Zhang Xiu led the army and followed closely.
In this war, Zhang Xiu came out.
In the whole camp, there were less than 5000 troops left, including Jia Xu, Sima Yi and Zhang song.
Zhang Xiu led the army on the way, and soon arrived at Cao Jun's camp in zhuxu county. Today's camp, even if there are Cao troops stationed, but there are not many troops.
A torch burns, and the light of the fire dispels the darkness, making the camp as bright as day.
Zhang Xiu didn't say much and ordered the attack directly.
The army launched an offensive, a fierce attack.
Even Timon led his troops to guard the camp, and even his soldiers fought hard. However, under the attack of Zhang Xiu's army, the army led by Timon, even two quarters of an hour, had not resisted, had been defeated, and had to withdraw in a hurry.
But this retreat was covered up and killed, so that tens of thousands of soldiers under Timon's command suffered countless losses. Timon retreated quickly, and in the end, he just left with thousands of soldiers.
After Zhang Xiu defeated Cao's army, the army entered the camp. Because dianman retreated in a hurry, there was still some food left in zhuxu County, but it was only a small part. A lot of food had been taken away by Cao ang.
The army continued on their way, following the retreat of cao'ang.
Because there are cavalry fighting in the front, Zhang Xiu just needs to take the infantry to pick up the leak. After about half an hour's journey, the army led by him met Cao's soldiers who were killed by cavalry and finally surrendered.
Zhang Xiu ordered the soldiers to be detained.
That night, Zhang Xiu kept detaining Cao soldiers who surrendered.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xiu had reached the border of zhuxu County, and all the cavalry who went to pursue him had withdrawn. No matter the cavalry of the fierce tiger army or the cavalry of the flying bear army, although they killed a lot last night, in the end, they failed to kill most of the retreating Cao soldiers, so that the Cao soldiers retreated one after another.
Cao Huaxiu got the news last night that Zhang Huaxiu's cavalry had retreated. At first, the retreat was a large-scale one, and then a small group of troops retreated, so that even if the cavalry pursued and killed, they could not completely wipe out the rest of the small forces.
Rao is so. The number of prisoners last night was no less than 20000.
Kill at least 8000 people.
Even though most of Cao Ang's troops have retreated, in fact, Cao Ang's strength has weakened a lot and suffered heavy losses again. It can be said that Liu Bei's surrender made Cao Ang's overall plan collapse, and he could no longer keep it. He had to retreat to Huang County, even to Donglai county.
This is the current situation of Cao ang.
After rectifying the soldiers, Zhang Xiu led the army to the northeast of Beihai state and won the counties along the way. It's as easy as a palm to capture Beihai with Zhang Xiu's troops.
Moreover, Cao Ang's retreat, local officials also saw the general trend, so as soon as Zhang Xiu's troops arrived, all of them surrendered and there was no resistance. There was no one who resisted Zhang Xiu's army.
When the army led by Zhang Xiu approached Donglai County, it happened that the feiqiang army led by Zhao Yun and Baima Yicong were just in Donglai county. After entering Donglai County, Zhang Xiu meets Zhao Yun.All the way to Huangxian.
Now the army of Zhang Xiu is invincible.
When the army came to the territory of Huangxian and began to approach Huangxian, the news also spread to the city of Huangxian.
In today's Huangxian City, Cao ang, Xun you, Guo Jia and others are all here. In the temporary palace, Cao ang and his civil servants and military generals are all gathered together. But now Cao Pi, his family members, and even some of their families have left Huangxian County for Lelang county.
This is Cao Ang's arrangement.
But now Cao Ang's face is full of helplessness and decadence. It's just that he retreated all the way, and the territory of the Wei kingdom was lost all the way. To this day, there are no more than one in ten, and only Huang County is still in control.
As for the rest, they were all captured by Zhang Xiu.
Cao Ang's age is only in his twenties, and he is not yet in his thirties. But recently, he has been overworked, and his temples have a little white hair. Although it looks inconspicuous, if you don't look carefully, you can't find it. But now, Cao ang does have white hair.
This is too much worry.
Cao ang took a deep breath, looked at the people under his command, and solemnly said: "up to now, Zhang Xiu has been in the city. What should we do? We have less than 50000 troops. I'm afraid it's not easy to resist. So, how do you think about it now? Just speak up and don't have any scruples. I don't even care about words like surrender. "
For Cao ang, the current situation is extremely bad, and he can accept what happens.
He wants to listen to people.
It depends on what people say.
As a person who had followed Cao Cao when Cao Cao was there, Xun you now has a strong voice under Cao ang. His expression is solemn, then solemnly way: "surrender and so on, certainly impossible."
"I don't have the soft bone to surrender."
"But now that Zhang Xiu has been killed, I don't think it's suitable to continue to stick to it. Since the hinterland of the Central Plains can't compete with Zhang Xiu, we'll retreat and go to Lelang county. After all, Mr. PI had already taken people there. "
"Now we go to Lelang County before Zhang Xiu comes first."
Xun you said: "especially during this period of time, I have searched all kinds of data. Not far from the south of Lelang County, there is another place. According to some scattered data, it is a Japanese country that is not very civilized, just like barbarians."
"We can go to Japan. As long as we have today's troops, food and weapons, we will have no chance of counterattack. In the past years, in order to hold back Zhang Xiu and give the state of Wei a chance to earn a living, the former leader left a fight to death, which eventually weakened Zhang Xiu's strength and won a short time for the state of Wei. "
"Up to now, I don't think surrender can solve the problem. We can only go to Lelang County, and then we can go south from Lelang county. That's a chance of survival."
Xun you gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it. Although Zhang Xiu has won now, she can still chase us to the ends of the earth."
Cao ang nodded, but he didn't answer immediately. He looked at the others and asked, "what's your opinion, gentlemen?"
