Chapter seven hundred and seventy third: Cao Jun retreats
"Lord, if the battle continues, our army cannot afford to consume it!"
Xun You observed the situation of the battle and asked Cao Cao to make suggestions in time.
What should I do if I can’t afford it? Return to Xudu and be cautious in the city!
"Gongda, I feel unwilling to retreat at this time!" Cao Cao said.
Why can't he see the situation? He just doesn't want to retreat first. He was praying in his heart that if Wu Shun retreated first, he would never pursue him.
"Lord, you can't consume too much military force here!" Xun You said again.
The morale of Cao's army was greatly boosted, so they came to attack the Wuling army. But until now, the high morale has shown signs of decline.
"Can the Wuling Army be defeated?"
Cao Cao was really unwilling to accept that he wanted to defeat Wu Shun first once, but the Wuling Army did not give him face.
"Lord, the Wuling Army was also injured in this battle. Our army took the initiative to retreat, and it was not defeated."
Guo Jia comforted him.
Cao Cao's mentality cannot collapse. If Cao Cao's mentality is not good, don't expect the soldiers below to fight bravely to fight the enemy.
"Telephone, the tiger and leopard cavalry are cut off and the army retreats!"
Both of the two great strategists were persuading themselves to withdraw their troops, and Cao Cao knew that it was time to retreat.
The order was issued, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry no longer entangled with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. They took the initiative to disperse, avoided the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and prepared to break the rear!
Ma Chao didn't know what Cao Hong had plans. In order not to allow the tiger and leopard cavalry to participate in the battle between infantrymen, he could only lead his troops to chase the tiger and leopard cavalry and run.
"Lord, Cao Cao is going to withdraw his troops!"
Xu Shu reminded.
"Chasing for ten miles!"
Wu Shun gave the order!
On the battlefield, Cao's army fought and retreated. When the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Xiliang Cavalry entered the battlefield one after another, the soldiers of the White Tiger Legion were threatened by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and quickly gathered together and were ready for battle!
The Cao army soldiers had already received a signal of retreating. At the moment when the tiger and leopard cavalry stopped the Wuling army, the Cao army soldiers retreated crazily...
"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"
After seeing the actions of the tiger and leopard cavalry, Ma Chao already knew why Cao Hong suddenly came here. It turned out that he wanted to cut off the rear of Cao's army.
The cavalry is indeed a good way to cut off the rear.
"What should Cao Jun do if the men of Xiliang want to run away?"
Ma Chao asked loudly.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
In response to Ma Chao, there were deafening shouts of killing.
"Break through them!"
Ma Chao took the lead and was about to lead the Western Liang Iron Cavalry to break through the interception of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and chase the retreating Cao army.
"The guard camp, all of you will get on the horse! Chase the enemy!"
Cao's army was about to run away, and Qu A quickly reacted.
The personal guard camp was on horseback, and the heavy cavalry rushed towards the tiger and leopard cavalry with a thunderous roar!
"Qilin Cavalry, follow me!"
Zhao Yun, not far away, saw that his cavalry had all arrived, so he ordered without hesitation.
...
"Lord, the last general requests to pursue the enemy!"
Mu Lu asked for a fight beside Wu Shun.
"Go!"
Wu Shun thought about it, would a group of tigers go to chase the enemy, let them run faster? However, considering the intimidation of the tigers, Wu Shun still agreed to Mu Lu's request to fight.
The moment Cao's army retreated, the entire Wuling army started to move!
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry lasted for a quarter of an hour, but was eventually captured by the Wuling Army's cavalry. Cao Hong had no choice but to command the army and retreat, and delayed the infantry enough time.
"No, the war horse was frightened!"
Suddenly, a tiger and leopard knight shouted. He could no longer control the war horse under his crotch!
Two jumped into the air, the war horses threw the soldier away, and then ran out frantically.
"What's going on?"
Cao Hong said angrily.
Can't the tiger and leopard cavalry even control the war horse?
"General, tigers! So many tigers!"
A soldier pointed at the back, his teeth trembled up and down in his mouth...
"What kind of style?"
Cao Hong was so angry when he saw the soldier's cowardly appearance!
"God go quickly, don't let the group of tiger cavalry approach, otherwise the war horses will be frightened."
A small cadet shouted at Cao Hong!
Horse, he is afraid of tigers!
Behind the Wuling Army, the group of tigers rushed over together, and the war horses were not frightened on a large scale. The tiger and leopard cavalry were well trained.
The momentum of the King of Beasts is not something that ordinary war horses can withstand.
"Go! Retreat!"
When Cao Hong saw that the beast cavalry of the Wuling Army was indeed running behind, he was afraid that the war horses would be frightened and ran around and disrupt the formation.
...
After chasing and running, Cao Cao fought out with confidence and withdrew his troops back in dismay.
The Wuling Army's cavalry followed Wu Shun's order and chased for only ten miles!
Along the way, because the beast cavalry joined the pursuit team, Cao's army ran very fast, chasing Cao's army like a personal guard camp for a while, but found that they could not catch up, so they simply returned to the army early...
With a tiger behind, Cao's army was so fast that Qu'a was helpless.
However, there are also benefits for the beast cavalry to pursue. Some Cao soldiers who were unable to run or were injured saw the beast cavalry and knelt down and asked to surrender.
When Mulu surrendered, some injured Cao's surrendered soldiers were worried that they would be fed to the tigers, and kept talking about their strengths and showing their value in order to survive.
...
"Why are you standing there? Why don't you go clean the battlefield quickly! Reward the three armies tonight!"
Wu Shun's words came out, which caused cheers from soldiers.
In the evening, in the Wuling Army camp, soldiers slaughtered pigs and sheep, ate meat in large pieces of fire, and drank wine in large bowls, and were all very happy.
"Yuanzhi, after breaking through Xudu, can we quickly take over Cao Cao's territory? Will there be any force of the aristocratic people block it?"
Wu Shun asked Xu Shu.
"Does the lord refer to an open obstacle or a secret?"
Xu Shu asked back.
"All of them!" Wu Shun said.
It is not difficult for Wu Shun to defeat Xudu. What is really troublesome is that there are too many families in the Central Plains. When occupying Cao Cao's territory, you may encounter resistance from the gentry forces.
"Lord, how did the Wuling Army come from? The ship will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge!"
Xu Shu reminded.
He just knew how Wu Shun got to where he is today step by step. Wu Shun, who was decisive, is now a little scared, which surprised Xu Shu.
Xu Shu's reminder brought Wu Shun's thoughts back to his previous poor days. At that time, there were only a few people under his command. Of course, Wu Shun used his own temperament. He beat him if he couldn't stand it, and did whatever he wanted, as long as he could save his life.
But now, Yizhou has a wide range of strength, and under the protection of Wu Shun, many ordinary people are living happily.
In short, before Wu Shun makes a decision, he likes to ask Xu Shu and others about his opinions.
"It is actually very simple to break through Xu Du. I wonder if Yuan Zhi is sure to subdue the aristocratic families in the Central Plains in a short period of time?"
Wu Shun asked.
He hesitated and did not dare to make up his mind. He mostly felt that those aristocratic families were too difficult to deal with. Wu Shun didn't care about the infatuation. What he was afraid of was the concentrated counterattack of the gentry. If one is not good, it would affect the entire strategic layout of Yizhou.
"Don't worry, lord, if Xu Du is captured, the affairs of the gentry will be left to Xu Shu to handle!"
Xu Shu bowed.
Wu Shun has never used the Black Guard, and now he finally understands it.
Since he knew the reason, Xu Shu was happy to carry the burden on Wu Shun.
"It's my blessing to have Yuanzhi!"
