There is also the Youzhou Army from Wuguan. The army did not receive any news before. As a result, during the battle against Cao Hong, the number of Xu Huang's troops increased to 12,000.

The failure of the cavalry made Cao's soldiers panic even more.

"When I, the general, led the army to rush for reinforcements, we encountered many obstacles." Xia Houyuan sighed and recounted what happened on the battlefield.

After hearing this, Cao Hong fell into silence.

In this battle, Cheng Yu's plan was not comprehensive, and the mobilization of the army in the city was also hidden from the enemy's eyes. The arrival of more than 6,000 reinforcements was blocked by Yang Feng and 2,000 cavalry on the battlefield.

Above, there are continuous ballistas in the army. It is impossible for Xiahou Yuan to let the soldiers in the army abandon their continuous ballistas and go into the battlefield. The continuous ballistas are Xiahou Yuan's important means of relying on the enemy.

The planning of counselors is on the one hand, and the response of the generals on the battlefield is equally important. Just like Yang Feng leading the cavalry to block reinforcements, this ability to adapt to the situation is surprising. Although the methods Yang Feng adopted are shameless, it makes people wonder.

The soldiers of Cao's army were furious. They had to admit that Yang Feng's method did have a very good effect. It made it difficult for Cao's reinforcements to enter the battlefield and pose a threat to the Youzhou army.

"Our army was defeated in this battle and retreated to Wancheng. The enemy army could not make any achievements." Xia Houyuan said.

"General, the Youzhou Army must be returning to Wancheng, why not set up an ambush on the way. If the Youzhou Army arrives, with the help of the crossbow chariots and the cavalry in the army, they will definitely be able to teach the Youzhou Army a painful lesson." Cao Hongdao.

.

Xia Houyuan shook his head and said: "The enemy general Xu Huang is a famous general under Lu Bu. Although he did not have much success under Lu Bu before, he was able to become one of the five tiger generals in the past. Xu Huang is not an easy person.

We will definitely do our best to explore the situation on the road ahead, and our army has just experienced a defeat, so we should focus on returning to Wancheng."

Cao Hong nodded helplessly. After the failure of this battle, although Xia Houyuan did not blame him, Cao Hong was not in a very good mood. He had always been strict with himself according to the standards of a general. Unexpectedly, on the battlefield

But after experiencing such a failure, this kind of failure was a shame that was difficult to wash away, so he was somewhat eager to restore his disadvantage on the battlefield.

Xia Houyuan didn't want to do this, but as the commander of the army, he must consider the problem from a higher perspective. Stopping the Youzhou Army can indeed have a certain effect. When the morale of the army is unstable, once other situations occur,

It is very likely to lead to another defeat of the army.

The officers and soldiers in the army have just experienced a hard battle and need to stabilize. Only in this way can the officers and soldiers in the army regain their confidence.

After a failure, mobilizing troops again, if successful, can indeed stimulate the fighting spirit of the army officers to a great extent, but if it fails, there will be a serious price to pay.

The current Cao army cannot bear too many defeats. There are less than 10,000 defenders in Wancheng at this time. Wancheng is the top priority on the battlefield in Jingzhou. If Wancheng is lost, the situation on the entire battlefield will be terrible.

It is the most deadly.

"Retreat. Our army will have plenty of opportunities to make the enemy pay a heavy price in the future." Xia Houyuan said slowly.

Many generals in the tent looked much more relaxed after hearing Xia Houyuan's words. When Cao Hong mentioned stopping the enemy army, they became tense, fearing that Xia Houyuan would agree. Especially the generals who followed Cao's army.

Intuitively, they had just experienced a defeat on the battlefield and what was the situation of the soldiers in each department. They knew very well that blocking the enemy army would not have much effect. On the contrary, it would make more soldiers escape from the army.

After the army fails, the most important thing is to appease the soldiers in the army and make them feel the hope of victory. After every defeat, the soldiers in the army are likely to flee the army. When they are in the army

When you don't feel the hope of victory, you will make such a choice. This situation is also very common in the military.

The retreat of Xiahou Yuan's army was also not peaceful. He had no intention of stopping the enemy. However, Xu Huang had no intention of letting Cao's army return to Wancheng so easily. On the way, the Huns cavalry once again showed their shameless side.

, the cavalry relied on its speed advantage on the battlefield to constantly cause trouble for Cao's soldiers. However, faced with such a situation, Cao's soldiers could only send cavalry to drive away these enemy troops.

The officers and soldiers of Cao's army were panicked and were not suitable for a large-scale confrontation. Otherwise, Xiahou Yuan would definitely lead his army to fight and teach the enemy a painful lesson.

Outside Wancheng, the mutual testing between Cheng Yu and Guo Jia did not last long. After the situation of the confrontation between the soldiers on the battlefield was reported to the army, the two had their own ideas.

Cheng Yu had full confidence in the situation on the battlefield. Xia Houyuan led an army to rush to the battlefield, and the cavalry in the army was also sent to the battlefield. If Cao Hong's more than 14,000 people were added to the battlefield, Cao's army alone would reach two on the battlefield.

If thousands of people cannot win under such circumstances, it would be the most incredible situation.

When the situation on the battlefield was reported to the army, Cheng Yu frowned, and his expression was no longer as calm as before. The news coming back from the battlefield turned out to be that his army had failed on the battlefield and was defeated by

In the hands of the smaller Youzhou Army, detailed information about the battlefield was spread to the city.

After Cheng Yu read what happened on the battlefield again, he sighed and threw the letter aside. In this confrontation between Cao Jun and Youzhou Army on the battlefield, Cao Jun failed, and the defeat was complete. The generals of the army lost nearly 100,000 yuan.

Nine thousand people.

What kind of turmoil will be caused after this news spreads in the army. When facing the Youzhou Army, the morale of Cao's soldiers was high, but after this defeat, the situation may change dramatically. The victorious side,

The morale of the soldiers in the army is even higher, which is normal. If you want to cheer up the soldiers in the army when facing a battle, what you need is victory on the battlefield.

Victories one after another can make the army have no more fear in their hearts when facing the enemy.

After being silent for a long time, Cheng Yu had to sigh that in this confrontation, he had indeed underestimated Guo Jia and the methods of the Youzhou Army.

Eight thousand Youzhou troops were able to block the attack of more than 14,000 troops led by Cao Hong. This was such a terrifying strength. Cheng Yu was not surprised that he wanted to fight outside the city.
