Chapter 52 "Master, the enemy is not quite right"

on the high platform,
Cao Ren frowned as he watched the iron cavalry led by Zhang Xiu turn his horse's head. Could it be a coincidence?

As if, Zhang Xiu charged in the same direction as the archers retreated. Once Zhang Xiu got out of the spear formation and rushed into the archer formation, it would be like a wolf joining a herd of sheep.

But Cao Ren didn't dare to gamble, and immediately shouted: "Send the order quickly, the archers should turn around and retreat to the northwest to avoid Zhang Xiu's iron cavalry."

The flag was waved, and the general in charge of commanding the archers glanced at it, and began to change the retreat route without thinking.

However, only a few tens of breaths.

Cao Ren: "???"

Looking at Zhang Xiu in the formation, Cao Ren was dumbfounded, because Zhang Xiu turned his horse and turned around again, and rushed straight to the retreating position of the archers.

"Gudu!"

Cao Ren swallowed.

The whole person is not well, what the hell is this?

It stands to reason that Zhang Xiujun should be like a headless chicken, it is impossible to have such a sense of smell!

Once is a coincidence, but twice is definitely not a coincidence.

Thinking of this, Cao Ren looked at the enemy Shuaiqi solemnly.

Although he couldn't see clearly, Cao Ren was a little stunned.

"Master...My lord, something is wrong! The enemy...the enemy army has no command at all, and there is no order to move the flag on the stage." Cao Ren looked shocked and said anxiously.

heard,

Cao Cao frowned.

Stepping up to the high platform of the chariot, he looked into the distance, although he couldn't see clearly, but there was indeed no movement of the flag on the high platform, even Guo Jia who was on the side was surprised.

"My lord, Zhang Xiu is treacherous. Will there be two handsome flags just to confuse us?" Guo Jia is less unrestrained in the past, and more solemn.

Cao Cao opened his eyes and denied, "Impossible, Zhang Xiu doesn't need to do such a thankless thing. What's more, the enemy army is relaxed and well-trained, and it is definitely not a mob."

"Moreover, the enemy army seems to be one step ahead of our army everywhere, as if they knew our army's movements in advance, which made our army quite passive."

Cao Cao observed it and said in shock.

Guo Jia nodded. Although he was not good at battle formation, he could faintly observe that Cao Cao's three armies were under the control of others, just like being restrained by Zhang Xiu's three armies, and it was difficult to use them.

Cao Cao thought that this battle would be easy to win, but at this moment, he couldn't help but get serious, and said with a smile: "Who is the commander of the enemy army? They are so good at using troops, and Zhang Xiu's Xiliang man can actually get help from this person."

Cao Ren pursed his lips, he really didn't know about it.

Guo Jia responded: "My lord, if my predictions are correct, this person should be Xu Shu. He is not well-known, and he is a child of a poor family. His family is in decline. A few months ago, he voted for Zhang Xiu to take the post of chief bookkeeper."

"The reputation is not obvious? Heh, after today, he will become famous, and I, Cao Cao, will be reduced to a joke." Cao Cao's voice was somewhat displeased.

"Cao Ren, you don't need to command cautiously here, and lead the army to kill Zhang Xiu."

Cao Ren bowed his head in response, but he felt a little guilty because he was not as good as a poor boy in the fight. Although Cao Cao didn't speak out, it made him feel uncomfortable.

With Cao Cao's personal command, the shaky formation became stable again. For a while, the two armies clashed head-on.

As for the pawns under Zhang Xiu's command, they all had the will to die, and they were not weak either. In addition, Xu Shu's ability to seize opportunities was remarkable, but Xu Shu never let go of any opportunities.

This also shocked Cao Cao, because this kind of flaw was not considered a flaw at all. After all, it took a long time to pass the order, but Xu Shu seemed to have a sky eye, looking down on the world.

At the same time, Zhang Xiu had also rushed to the bow and arrow camp. For a while, the spear in his hand was like a pear flower, and he either picked or stabbed countless people.

The more than one hundred riders behind him were all brave, and at this time they were like wolves in a herd of sheep, gaining a lot.

"My lord, if the enemy general wants to encircle, don't be in love with fighting. Quickly evacuate to the northwest. Cao's army is weak in the northwest. You can lead the army to rush out." Xu Shu said anxiously.

A shot pierced out, and bright red blood sprayed out.

Zhang Xiu reined in his horse, listened to Xu Shu's voice, and immediately opened his eyes. The rear of the camp was indeed full of dust, and Zhang Xiu also knew that this trip should be withdrawn.

"My lords, follow me to break out of the siege!"

After the words fell, more than a hundred riders ran wildly again.

After a while, on the northwest side of Cao Ying.

Zhang Xiu was covered in blood, and there were more than [-] riders behind him, all of them were splashed with blood, and their eyes were cold.

Ordering the horses to turn back, it was a large formation of Cao Jun. They entered from the south and exited from the northwest, which can be said to have set off a bloody storm.

"withdraw!"

Seeing that Cao Ying had some generals chasing them out, Zhang Xiu didn't dare to stay, and ordered his horse to shout.

In this fight, even he can't help it, not to mention the generals behind him, I'm afraid they can rush out, relying entirely on their own will.

Fighting until sunset, both of them withdrew.

In the general mansion,
More than a dozen generals gathered together, each in awe.

Zhang Xiu glanced at everyone, and then looked at Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, what are the casualties of our army in this battle?"

"Returning to my lord, the three armies suffered more than two thousand casualties." Xu Shu was a little heartbroken, and then added: "However, the losses of Cao's army should be more than twice that of our army."

Zhang Xiujian frowned slightly, he led the charge and killed only a few hundred enemies, but more than [-] people were captured head-on?

And this is a good time for training.

No matter how bad a soldier is, after a fierce battle, he is still an elite.

"This battle frustrates the enemy's spirit, and Yuan Zhi should be the first to make the contribution."

"My lord, I dare not be greedy for merit. This battle is the work of my lord and all the generals." Xu Shu said hastily.

He thinks he is not weak, but after Cao Cao took over, he felt a little stressed. If it weren't for the sound transmission fetish, they would definitely be the ones who suffered the most casualties today.

Zhang Xiu didn't go to dispute, and asked instead: "Yuan Zhi, what should our army do next?"

"My lord, this battle has frustrated the enemy's morale. From now on, we only need to stay behind closed doors. Cao Cao will withdraw within three months." Xu Shu clasped his fists and said solemnly.

"Well," Zhang Xiu nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, because what he wanted was not Cao Cao's withdrawal, but there was no good way to defeat Cao Cao at the moment.

…………

At the same time,

Inside the Cao Jun camp.

Cao Cao ranked first, with dozens of generals under his command. At this time, everyone felt a little upset, because he was so aggrieved by fighting during the day, and felt like being led by the nose.

"There are great talents in Zhang Xiu's army, and you all have good strategies to break the city."

The fierce generals looked at each other, and Xu Chu patted his chest and shouted: "My lord, Zhang Xiu will definitely not be able to retreat tomorrow. You give me three thousand elite soldiers, and I promise to capture Yecheng before noon."

Cao Cao rolled his eyes and replied lazily, then said, "Feng Xiao, you have a clever plan to defeat the enemy."

"My lord, Zhang Xiu's army has defeated our army's morale in this battle. Their goal has been achieved. It is impossible for them to go out of the city to fight our army in a short time."

"However, there are very few strong generals under Zhang Xiu's command. Jia thought that the three armies could be rested and cut down trees to build various siege equipment. The lord will lead the army to beat drums and call for battle."

"If Zhang Xiu responds, he will be defeated. If he still stays behind closed doors, the morale of the three armies will inevitably be low. When our army has all the siege equipment, we will be able to take Yecheng in one fell swoop."

Guo Jia clasped his fists and said loudly.

Cao Cao nodded, Guo Jia's words coincided with his thoughts, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Cao Ren, order the three armies to make various industrial tools overnight in shifts."

"In addition, gather five thousand soldiers and horses, and fight against my city tomorrow."
