At times like this, Cao Zhen knew that he should not be afraid and should try his best to change the current situation. It would be best to resist the enemy's attack and allow his own soldiers to calmly withdraw from the battlefield.●

Just now he followed Cao Cao and lacked a clear understanding of the battlefield. Now after arriving on the battlefield, Cao Zhen immediately felt that the situation on the battlefield was unfavorable to Cao Cao's army. The cavalry of the Jin army charged back and forth in the formation, which fully explained what was going on.

It's called invincible.

During the enemy's charge, most of Cao's soldiers chose to escape or surrender, but only a few actually took up arms to fight against the enemy's cavalry. This situation made Cao Zhen feel helpless. Although he had experienced it before

After some battles, more often than not, I would follow behind the powerful generals and just watch how they dealt with the enemy on the battlefield.

He did not expect that the time for him to lead the troops alone would come so soon, and at the most critical moment for the army. Cao Zhen knew that if his performance was not good enough, he would probably fall on the battlefield.

The battlefield is a place full of opportunities and challenges. No general can guarantee that he will survive on the battlefield. What can a strong gun do? An arrow is enough to take your life.

After the retreating officers and soldiers of the Cao army came under the command of Cao Zhen, the situation did not change much. The attack of the flying cavalry gave the Cao army a feeling of powerlessness. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have led the Chinese army and left directly. It was time for the battle.

The longer it takes, the more soldiers will be lost on the battlefield.

Only by being able to remain calm and composed when facing the enemy can it be possible to leave the battlefield. Cao Zhen barely managed to do this, but the performance of Cao Zhen's soldiers was somewhat unsatisfactory. In the face of a life-and-death crisis, the army's officers and soldiers

What I want to do most is leave the battlefield.

Only after leaving did they have a chance to survive on the battlefield. It was not that Cao Jun's soldiers had no faith in facing the enemy, but that the faith they had barely supported had collapsed again during the enemy's cavalry charge.

If possible, what Cao Jun's soldiers wanted to do most was to stay away from the battlefield. They neither wanted to become prisoners of the enemy, nor did they want to continue living like this.

A spear penetrated Cao Zhen's chest. The general who had been left by Cao Cao to block the pursuit died on the battlefield.

After seeing this situation, the surrounding Cao army officers panicked, and then surrendered or fled.

Huang Zhong led the Lieyang Archers and headed towards the retreating Cao army. Huang Zhong would not agree if Cao Cao wanted to leave the battlefield so easily. After people like Cao Cao left, it would become a huge disaster, but

Only by eradicating such disasters can greater stability be achieved. Huang Zhong saw this quite clearly.

After learning the news of Cao Zhen's death in battle, Cao Cao no longer felt too much. Where there is war, generals will die, let alone on the way to escape.

The pursuit of the Lieyang Archers caused great trouble to the soldiers of Cao's army. Their attacks could not pose a threat to the Lieyang Archers, but the arrows of the Lieyang Archers kept harvesting the soldiers of Cao's army in the process.

's life.

The number of Cao's troops was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Cao Cao could only order his soldiers to block the enemy's attack as much as possible and not give the enemy a chance to rush into the central army.

It was not until the sky became completely dark that Huang Zhong stopped chasing Cao Jun. At night, many variables would occur on the battlefield. Huang Zhong did not want his soldiers to suffer greater losses in this situation.

The flying cavalry led by Li Yan had already completed the annihilation of Cao Jun's soldiers. The Cao Jun soldiers who stayed behind to block the cavalry pursuit for Cao Cao had completely failed.

Even if many soldiers fled the battlefield, would these soldiers dare to return to Cao Cao's army at this time? The answer is definitely no. Cao Cao has failed. All the soldiers in the army can see this clearly and follow Cao Cao.

If we continue to fight, the most likely situation is that the army will suffer another defeat.

Failure means that more soldiers will be lost in the general field. The battles between Cao Jun and Jin Army have left an unforgettable impression on Cao Jun's soldiers. If possible, Cao Jun's soldiers are least willing to face it.

Those are the Jin army officers and men, these people are crazy on the battlefield.

Cao's army also had elite troops. However, after battle after battle, the elite of Cao's army suffered serious losses. The culprits were the soldiers of the Jin army.

The battle made Cao's soldiers deeply feel the gap between them and the Jin soldiers, not only in morale, but also in combat effectiveness.

At the beginning, it can be said that the morale of Cao's army was high. After all, they had more advantages in numbers. Under such circumstances, the officers and soldiers of the army would not have any more psychological burden when facing the enemy.

.

However, as the battle gradually progressed, Cao's soldiers discovered that their morale was so high that they could not gain anything. What was more, the officers and soldiers suffered losses in the process of fighting the enemy.

The defeat dampened the fighting spirit of Cao's soldiers, not because they did not fight hard enough against the enemy, but because their efforts seemed so fragile in the face of the strong strength of Jin's soldiers.

After clearing the battlefield, Huang Zhong and Li Yan returned to Xudu City with the prisoners, attacked Xudu City, and drove Cao Cao out of Xudu City. This was Lu Bu's goal. Of course, it would be even better if Cao Cao could be killed. In this way

Lu Bu will avoid more troubles when he pacifies Yanzhou.

At this time, after successive battles, Cao Cao's army only had more than a thousand soldiers left in the army. When he was in Xudu, Cao Cao had 40,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. On the third day of the Jin army's attack, Cao Cao's army suffered heavy losses.

Such a heavy price was paid, the soldiers in the army suffered serious losses, and even the capital of the Han Dynasty fell into Lu Bu's hands.

Xudu is as important to Cao Cao as Chang'an is to Lu Bu. Cao Cao has to pay attention to the development of Xudu, but Xudu fell, which brought more trouble to Cao Cao. If he can't handle this well,

If this is the case, even if he returns to Yanzhou, he will not be able to do much.

Cao Cao naturally knows how shrewd the family is. If he wants the Yanzhou family to continue to support him, he must show sufficient strength. However, Cao Cao is confident. After all, Yanzhou is where he started.

There is no doubt about Cao Cao's support.
