Chapter 348: Miserable and miserable

Strictly speaking, if Boss Cao regards Liu Pan's team as an opponent at the level of Deputy Director Tao, attaches importance to Liu Pan's army and Yu Tao's deputy director Tao, and calculates and analyzes all the possibilities and consequences of the enemy's every move, every word and action, then Boss Cao will definitely not fall into the trap.

But unfortunately, Liu Pan is a military commander who is never famous for his wisdom and treacherousness, and Huang Zhong is just a brave but unscrupulous man. Poor Pang Tong was regarded as a slander and mediocre scholar who was implicated by his classmate Zhuge Liang, and was regarded as a slander who was innocent and mediocre. He was similar to Zhao Kuo and Ma Su's paper talker (Huh? Why does it seem that something is wrong there?). In short, neither Cao nor his counselors regarded Liu Panjun as an opponent at the tactical level, and naturally Cao had to pay a price.

This is a tragedy that is destined to make Boss Cao regret for his life. With the extremely weak defense force in the camp, Boss Cao led three-quarters of the main team to the north one after another, in order to use the trick to ambush the enemy. However, after feeding mosquitoes in the field for a long time on the bleak night of autumn wind, the gate of Ye County was never opened, and the agreed firelight ignited on the head of Ye County, which made Boss Cao constantly look up to see the moon and judge whether the time has reached the third update by the position of the moon. He was anxious but helpless.

Just when Boss Cao was once again doubting whether his experience in judging time was wrong, Zhang Liao, the previous one, sent someone to report the situation and ask for orders to Boss Cao, saying that Zhang Liao's team had already heard the sound of the third pm clapper in the city outside Ye County, but he never saw the agreed ignition signal. Please ask Boss Cao how to cook?

"The third update of the gangster has already sounded?" The boss Cao was shocked, but the one who made the boss Cao even more shocked was still behind. At this moment, the rear army suddenly started yelling, and countless Cao army soldiers shouted: "Lord, look south, the direction of our camp has caught fire!"

"What?!" Boss Cao, who was sitting on the ground, jumped up from the ground, turned his head to look at the military camp, Boss Cao almost fainted without dizzying. The direction of the Cao military camp was indeed there, and the brightness was still increasing rapidly. Obviously, the fire in that location was burning more and more!

"I've been trapped! I've been trapped by the tiger from the mountain!" As I screamed wildly, Boss Cao almost fainted in anger, and the direction of the fire was in the direction. Not only did the marching food and grass that the Cao army had finally put together, but also the families of Boss Cao and countless Cao army soldiers. What else could these old, weak, women and children who were almost powerless were attacked suddenly, besides being slaughtered by the enemy?

"Retreat! Withdraw! Go and rescue the camp quickly!"

In a big hurry, Boss Cao could only order the main force to return to the camp immediately and convey the order. The Cao army soldiers, who were also anxious, rushed to the front and rushed back to the way they came. The team was immediately confused. The Zhang Liao team ambushed outside the east gate of Ye County was also in chaos, and the upper and lower sides rushed back to the way they came back. When Pang Tong heard the shouts and chaotic footsteps on Ye County, he immediately understood that Cao's morale had collapsed, and he immediately said to Liu Pan beside him: "Major General, you can attack. Rong Tong first congratulates the major general. Our army will definitely win in this battle."

"Mr. Shiyuan is indeed a clever idea!" Haha laughed, Liu Pan ordered the war drum to ring, and the three gates of Ye County east and south sides fell to the ground at the same time. When the city gate opened, four thousand Jingzhou soldiers shouted out with torches and shouted at the enemy under Liu Pan's personal leadership. Although Cao Boss also decisively ordered the Zhang Liao team to be responsible for the rear of the palace, the Cao army soldiers were worried about the safety of their families and food in the camp, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and they still had no intention of fighting when their combat effectiveness was obviously higher than that of the Jingzhou army. They just retreated south and could not afford the time and courage to fight to fight the enemy's pursuers. Liu Pan's army took advantage of the victory and pursued them closely, gradually realizing the front-and-back attack tactics designed by Pang Tong.

When Cao led the team and finally rushed back to the self-army camp more than ten or twenty miles away, the Cao army camp had almost turned into a sea of ​​fire. Almost all the tents and supplies had been ignited by the enemy. The precious food and supplies turned into ashes in the flames. The panicked old, weak and women and children cried and ran around in the sea of ​​fire. The soldiers of the two armies fought bloody in the fire. However, in front of the prepared Jingzhou army, the Cao army was completely at a disadvantage. They could not stop the impact of the Jingzhou army, nor could they stop the Jingzhou army from killing and setting fires. They were killed so much that they were corpses everywhere and blood was flowing all over the ground.

Seeing this scene, the eldest son Cao, who was so anxious that his eyes were red, certainly rushed to join the battlefield without hesitation. However, it was too late to do so. The main force of Cao's army could only drive away the Jingzhou team that had entered the camp, protect as many families, women and children as possible, but could not save the elderly, weak women and children who had been killed by the Jingzhou army, and could not stop the fire from continuing to devour precious food and supplies. Countless Cao's soldiers who were killed in the family cried bitterly, and countless Cao's soldiers whose wives and children were missing could not stop him from calling their brothers and seeking their wives. The morale of the army was deteriorated and their morale almost collapsed on the spot.

If it were normal times, Mr. Cao would have been yelling that life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, and he would have ordered the killing of these crying soldiers who shook the morale of the army without hesitation. But this time it was not possible, because Mr. Cao's twelve wives and concubines, nine sons and four beautiful daughters were all in this chaotic battlefield with flesh and blood. No matter how hard the boss Cao was, he would inevitably be anxious and a little unruly at this moment. He was distracted on the battlefield for the first time and did not care about commanding the battle and focused his attention on finding his own family. After all, blood is not thicker than water?

At this time, Liu Pan's rear army had already chased Cao's army camp and began to attack Cao's army with Huang Zhong's team who had succeeded in robbing the camp. Cao's army, who was in chaos and panic, was forced to fight separately. The team was suddenly in chaos and gradually began to unable to resist the enemy. Fortunately, at this time, Boss Cao had already calmed down and decisively ordered the steward flag he had taken back from Zhang Liao's team, and ordered the surrounding army and all the soldiers who were alone to immediately move closer to him and organize the team to launch a counterattack.

The high quality of the Cao army played the most critical role at this moment. Although it was in extreme chaos and panic. However, as the order was gradually conveyed, the Cao army teams quickly moved closer to the position of the Cao boss's flag. Two or three thousand troops quickly gathered around Cao boss's side, and launched a counterattack under the personal command of Cao boss's command, and repelled Liu Pan's team twice, attempting to attack the Cao boss's flag, and gradually stabilized his position.

During this period, Cao Hong and Yu Jin, who were ordered to stay in the camp, came to Cao and apologized for their crimes with injuries, crying about the incident when the self-arms were caught off guard. Cao Lao Da said with a stern face: "It has nothing to do with you. This battle is caused by my underestimation of the enemy. I will organize your team immediately. Turn around and fight to avenge our relatives!" Cao Hong and Yu Jin agreed with tears and immediately acted according to the order, and from beginning to end. Cao Lao Da never asked about the whereabouts of his relatives.

As more and more teams gathered beside Cao Boss, Cao's counterattack gradually became fierce. With the hurriedly formed square formation, Cao's troops reorganized into the battlefield one by one, maintaining a strict formation to attack the enemy brigade. Although the morale of the Jingzhou army is high, there are also top generals like Huang Zhong. However, the overall combat effectiveness is far inferior to Cao's army. Not only can we disperse the phalanx formed by Cao's army, but we are also defeated by Cao's army team after another. Countless Jingzhou soldiers died tragically in the hands of Cao's soldiers who even had their eyes red. The psychological advantages laid by the early sneak attack were gradually reversed, and the subsequent strength was gradually insufficient.

If the war continues like this, there is actually a great hope for Cao's army to repel Liu Pan's army. In fact, the casualties of the army will not be too heavy. However, what the war had never expected before was that at this moment, the northeast suddenly shouted and shook the ground, and another army came to shout at the torch. Liu Pan and Cao were also shocked and shouted in unison: "Whose team is it? Are the enemy or friends?"

The answer made the eldest son Cao and the soldiers of the Cao army completely despair. They were Yuan Tan's army, the current honorary ally of the Jingzhou army, and the mortal enemy of Cao. What made the eldest son Cao vomit even more was that in addition to the Yuan Tan army general Wang Le, the two mortal enemies of Liu Huangshu and Zhang Fei...

Let me briefly introduce the process of Yuan Tan's joining the battlefield. As mentioned earlier, when Cao's scout was reconnaissance of movement in the northeast direction, a Cao's scout was unfortunately injured and captured by Yuan Tan's army. Unfortunately, this Cao's scout was a greedy man who was afraid of death. After being captured, he was taken to Wang Le, the general of Yuan Tan's former army, and immediately asked for confession of Cao's situation. When Wang Le learned that Cao's army had arrived at the city of Ye County, he was shocked and did not dare to be negligent. He could only send a messenger back to report to Xin Ping, who led the central army.

Like Wang Le, when he heard that his old rival Cao's army had arrived in Ye County first, Xin Ping, who was almost caught up by the Xuzhou army, was shocked and almost screamed that our army was destroyed. Uncle Liu and Zhuge Liang were ecstatic. Then Uncle Liu quickly came to Xin Ping with Zhuge Liang's guidance, volunteered to go to the front army to open the way, assisting Wang Le to break through the Cao army's pursuit to contact Liu Panjun, and persuaded Liu Panjun to send troops to meet Yuan Jun. Xin Ping naturally agreed in a panic and also assigned a thousand soldiers to lead the uncle Liu brothers. As a result, after Uncle Liu arrived in Wang Le's team, he suggested that Wang Le advance overnight and kill Cao's army and rushed to Ye County as soon as possible. Wang Le was worried that his army would be blocked north of the Fengshui River and could not cross the river, so he agreed to Uncle Liu's suggestion, not caring about the exhaustion of the army, and finally happened to catch this deadly time.

In fact, at the beginning, Yuan Tanjun and Liu Huangshu were also a little confused and worried, for fear that Cao's army was bullying the Jingzhou army and that the army would face hard battles when they arrived at the battlefield. However, after scouts and explored the horses, General Wang Le and Liu Bei's uncle went crazy as if they were injected with chicken blood. While sending people to contact Liu Pan's army, they screamed and led the army directly into the battlefield, using their talent for fishing in troubled waters to beat the dog Cao, the dog that fell into the water. Uncle Liu Huangshu and Zhang Fei rushed to the front, rushed into the Cao army camp with unstoppable force, and defeated a blocked Cao army team.

The total of 4,000 Yuan troops under Wang Le and Liu Huangshu's command did not have much force, but joining the battlefield at this critical moment had an unimaginable impact on the morale of Cao and Liu's army. Liu Pan's army, which had received reinforcements, had certainly increased their confidence in victory and their morale was extremely high. The Cao army, which had gradually reversed its disadvantages, was as if it had been struck by lightning, and its morale once again fell to the lowest point. The gradually stable lineup was loose again. The Liu Yuan coalition took the opportunity to advance rapidly. A gap was quickly rushed into the Cao army's formation. The Cao army, whose morale was completely collapsed, ran around, and countless dead surrendered.

In the melee, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong led the way, with tigers falling from the mountain, rushing left and right as if they were into a state of no one. All the people in the city were invincible. The Cao army soldiers who tried to stop were killed and injured. They were killed and injured by Huang Zhang's team and corpses were everywhere. Liu Huangshu, Wang Le and Liu Pan's team also took the opportunity to take the lead. They rushed back and forth in the chaotic battlefield, killing the single and messy Cao army soldiers. The Cao army women and children who had not escaped from the battlefield were even more injured and died in countless chaotic troops. The Cao army was defeated like a mountain. There were many fugitives. The Cao army could no longer be restrained.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, and was worried that there would be reinforcements behind Yuan's army, Mr. Cao shook his head and sighed and said that our army was destroyed. Then he could only immediately order to give up the camp and his family and children, lead the team around him to break through the northwest, and send guards to send orders everywhere in the chaos, ordering the generals of the army to break north as much as possible, get rid of the pursuit, and then meet in the ruins of the Qing County northwest of Ye County. The guards who were arranged to send orders kneel down and salute, and take the order with tears. Mr. Cao himself, under the protection of generals Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and Cao Hong, fought hard to break out a bloody road and run wildly towards the northwest.

This is a period of escape filled with blood and tears. While the wife and children were unknown, and amid the crying of countless soldiers and families, Cao's soldiers were crying and fighting to the northwest, leaving behind the burning camp and all the supplies and food, and also leaving behind all the old, weak, women and children who were powerless, crying and breaking out. The Jingzhou Army and Yuan Tan Army were still chasing each other, saying that they would not miss the rare opportunity to capture or cut off Cao's expensive head. Fortunately, there were some powerful generals around Cao's side to try to open the way behind the hall. Cao's luckily broke out of the encirclement and escaped into the complex mountains and forests in the northwest, winning more opportunities for escape.

Boss Cao and the elite soldiers around him broke through, but the Cao army and Cao army's family were in great trouble. Among them, Yuan Tan's army had a deep blood feud with Cao army. Liu Panjun, who had been playing bandits for many years, was not a good thing. Of course, he had to vent any chance. While killing Cao army soldiers and family members who had not yet escaped, he tried his best to take advantage of the situation and looted all the property they could get. Boss Cao digging graves and digging graves over the years, almost all the rare treasures they had brought to Liu Yuan's coalition. What's more, after catching the female family of Cao army, he dragged them to a place without anyone to rape. There were endless crying and asking for help on the battlefield. Many Liu Yuan soldiers even fought for the treasure.

After finally waiting for Mr. Cao to cry enough, Xun Yu said timidly: "Lord, the city of Xicheng is not very far from Ye County. The enemy may chase after him at any time. The lord also asks to be mournful and follow the changes and lead the army north as soon as possible, so as not to give the enemy the chance to catch up with our army."

"Yes." Yu Jin also echoed: "The last general caught a captive Yuan army when breaking through. During the interrogation, he learned that Yuan Tan's army was retreating in three teams this time. Both the front and middle armies had arrived in Ye County, and the rear army fought with the Xuzhou pottery thieves, so the pottery thieves may also chase after them at any time. The pottery thieves will definitely not let us go, and they will definitely pursue our army with all their strength."

Boss Cao nodded with tears in his eyes, and knew that with the cruel heart and foresight of Deputy Director Tao, he would definitely not give him a chance to flee to Sili and Guanzhong to make a comeback. After wiping his tears, Boss Cao was about to order his retreat, but suddenly his heart moved and hurriedly shouted: "Who dares to take the risk of going south and contact the Tao Ying traitor?"

"Contact with the pottery thief?" Everyone looked at each other in surprise, and then Xun Yu asked in confusion: "Master, why do you want to contact the pottery thief? If the lord wants to seek peace, it may be impossible. Our army is so embarrassed, the pottery thief may not give us a chance to get back together?"

"No, it's not a peace." Boss Cao shook his head in pain and said, "I want to ask him to search for my family, search for your family, and ask him to give them a way out as much as possible."

"This..." Xun Yu hesitated for a moment before saying: "It should be possible that the pottery thieves are not people who kill indiscriminately, and they are very kind and righteous. They may agree to the lord's request and let our family fall into the pottery thief as hostages, which is much better than to fall into the Yuan Tan team or the Jingzhou team."

"However," Xun Yu added, saying: "But the army of Tao thieves chased us all the way from Xuchang. The front army must not have many troops, and it is difficult to distinguish too many troops to search for our lord and our family. So even if the Tao thieves agree, they may not be able to save many of our families."
