At least it's better to distinguish between the enemy and ourselves when it's light.
Cao's troops were tens of thousands apart. In addition, they were not resolute enough at the beginning. At this time, they were unable to fight and were retreating.
However, the army in the city has not found this situation, and is still fighting hard.
The two sides have been fighting for each other on several streets in the city. Thirty or forty thousand troops have been filled in. If the streets are not too narrow to accommodate so many troops, I'm afraid the dead and wounded troops will be even more terrifying.
After Cao's army retreated, more troops gathered around Zhang Yu.
"Send two armies in through the East and West gates to encircle the troops in the city, and the rest will follow me to the south gate."
Zhang Yu made a quick judgment.
After a while, it was light again, and the army at the head of the city could see the following situation clearly.
At this time, Cao Jun found that Zhang Yu's army was gathering and encircled them. In panic, they immediately sent a message to the army fighting below, and the army at the head of the city also had the intention to retreat.
It's too late for Cao Jun to find out. Zhang Yu's army at the East and West Gates has killed him and attacked him in depth.
Zhang Yu leads the army to kill the past, and wants to intercept Cao Jun inside.
A part of Cao's army has begun to retreat, and their morale is in disorder.
Dian Wei took the opportunity to cover up and let Fusang army rush on.
Cao's army suffered a lot from the fighting in the city.
When Zhang Yu arrives, the remaining thousands of people do not retreat, but are intercepted by them.
After some suppression, the Cao army in the city was cleared.
After Zhang Yu's killing, the rest of Cao's army has withdrawn.
A burst of fatigue hit, after Zhang Yu and they occupied the city, they found that they had been fighting for several hours, and they were too tired.
On the streets of the city, on the top of the city, there are bodies everywhere.
"Close the gate and let the soldiers have a good rest." Zhang Yu didn't plan to pursue Cao's army. Cao's army still had tens of thousands of reserve troops. Although he joined some later, there were still troops in their camp, so it was not good to pursue them.
Cao's army retreated, but Zhang Yu didn't pursue it, so he couldn't pursue it.
Directly let the soldiers rest, they are too tired, crazy fight for a night, but also wearing armor, iron man is tired.
Even Zhang Yu did not count the number of people, did not clean the battlefield, and took a rest.
Only a small part of the city was not affected by the war, and most of it was affected by the war.
The people in the city were terrified. Looking out, they were all corpses, and the air smelled of blood.
This is a day when people in the city are afraid. The whole city is fighting.
They are very afraid that these soldiers will rush in and kill them, and then rob them of their property, especially their food.
As the night passed, the shouts of killing in the city, including those outside, stopped.
Simply, what they were worried about didn't happen. No matter whose army it was, it didn't rush in.
They dare not go out at dawn.
There are corpses outside, and the smell of blood makes people want to vomit.
There are bold people looking out, there are dead people everywhere.
They are shivering inside, and children are under the control of adults. They don't dare to go outside. They can't even take a look.
It's daybreak. It's even brighter.
Some people have been watching through windows or doors. They are afraid that soldiers will suddenly break in, so they have been watching.
Suddenly, the "corpses" on the ground survived, and many people stood up from the corpses on the ground.
It turned out that they were Zhang Yu's soldiers. After fighting all night, when Zhang Yu ordered a rest, many people directly fell asleep on the ground.
No matter how tired these soldiers are, they have no place to sleep. Even if they lie in the corpses, they will not rush into the people's homes to sleep.
Once they do that and are found, they will be expelled from the army. If they harass the people and cause harm, it will be a capital crime.
Zhang Yu is very strict with military discipline.
These people were confused. How could these troops do this? They didn't invade them at all.
Although they had a sleep, they were tired and sleepy, even hungry.
Many soldiers didn't bring dry food, because they were so anxious that only a few of them did.
Those with dry food can still eat two mouthfuls, while those without can only continue to starve.
The soldiers knocked open the warehouse of the city's government treasury, found out the grain and began to cook. After they cooked, it was noon, that is, from last night, until now they could eat. They were very hungry.
Nevertheless, many people did not infringe on the people at all.
Zhang Yu sent a law enforcement team to patrol the city after noon.
After noon, Zhang Yu regained some strength, and then ordered the soldiers to start cleaning up the battlefield.
Zhang Yu didn't let the people in the city do the corpses, but they did them themselves.
At least we should clean up the battlefields in the city to give the people a good impression.
Shortly after noon, Zhang Liao brought people to support him.
After the action that night, Zhang Yu will send someone to inform Zhang Liao.
On the way, Zhang Liao saw that the camp was burned, so he went to transfer some food.
There wasn't much food and grass, so Zhang Liao came to support him in a hurry, only with some.
Zhang Liao took 20000 people with him, and there were some troops in the future.
At this time, Zhang Yu handed over the task of cleaning up the city to Zhang Liao, and then they could count the people and horses.
It was not counted until the evening.
Zhang Yu was in the prefect's residence, listening to the reports of the various armies.
"The loss of 130000 people, this war, the loss is so big."
Although it has been expected, Zhang Yu is still shocked to hear the result.
Zhang Yu lost 130000 people, and more than 40000 of them were Fusang's troops, but Cao Cao directly lost 170000 people, all his troops.
Cao Cao's heart is dripping blood.
After this war, the Western Front became completely passive.
Cao Cao is still in the camp. He judges that Zhang Yu has no strength to attack them, at least not in the next few days.
Cao Cao ordered the grain and grass to be transported back, and they also planned to retreat.
The battle was still close. As a result, Yuan's army suddenly withdrew, and Zhang Yu was so crazy that he didn't even want the camp or the food and grass piled up in it, so he directly put in the whole army. After a chaotic battle, Cao Cao's loss was so serious that he didn't return more than 30000 troops.
In this battle, Zhang Yu captured the city, which will be his fulcrum on the western front, far away from the hinterland of Cao Cao, but he can easily attack the hinterland of Jizhou and the place far away from Cao Cao.
This is very hard for Cao Cao. If Zhang Yu is not blocked here, his territory will be eroded a little bit. If it is blocked here, money and grain will be transported thousands of miles away, and the cost is unbearable.
"Before long, when our troops arrive, Cao Cao's west line will be restless." Zhang Yu said after hearing the report.
"Wenyuan, to tell you the truth, we've all played very well this time. You'd better prepare and reward the three armed forces when the battlefield is cleared up." Zhang Yu said.
