Chapter 909
"withdraw!"
The battlefield was very chaotic, almost all the shouts of Cao's army. It was difficult for Zhao's army to hear Zhao Hui's orders.
Those ordinary soldiers didn't even know where their own sergeants were, let alone the lieutenant above.
Some have died in battle, while others have all run away in chaos.
There are only about 5,000 Zhao troops around tonight, and now there are only about 5,000 left.
These five thousand people fled on the road in a mess, trying to escape from Cao's pursuit.
But if there are no accidents, there will be very few people who can escape, and at least three thousand people will be killed.
"Kill Zhao Hui, don't let him run away."
Zhang Fei was exhausted.
The Snake Spear stabbed Zhao Hui from behind, but was blocked by Zhao Hui's knife.
Zhao Hui retreated while fighting Zhang Fei.
Although the yellow lion is very fast, Zhao Hui has not asked it to increase its speed now.
Otherwise, Zhang Fei would not be able to catch up with him at all.
The number of Cao's army is now three times that of Zhao's army, but as long as Zhao Hui wants to run away, they can't stop him.
"Report!"
"Zhao Hui lost to the enemy and has begun to retreat."
Cao Cao, who had been waiting for the news, did not look relaxed on his face.
What he would rather hear was that both sides were evenly matched than Zhao Hui's retreat.
If he had known that it would be the result, he would have sent the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and White-Eared Elite Soldiers a little later.
Zhao Hui is very strong, and there are also masters like Zhao Yundianwei around him.
If Zhao Hui was going to run away, Cao Cao knew that Xu Chu and the others would be hard to stop him.
The best thing is to let Zhao Hui fight until he is exhausted. At that time, Zhao Hui couldn't run but wanted to run.
But now, the situation is somewhat different from what Cao Cao guessed.
Behind Zhao Hui, there was actually only Xu Huang, a reinforcement army.
Four thousand tiger and leopard cavalry white-eared elite soldiers directly defeated the Zhao army.
It was like Cao Cao hitting it with a punch, but he used too much force. He obviously wanted to knock someone down, but he didn't expect to knock him away directly
Should we continue to increase troops and block Zhao Hui's retreat?
Cao Cao was hesitating and continued to increase his troops. If Zhao Hui could not be blocked and Zhao Hui escaped, his army might not be able to come back.
It's better to stop when we see it. Although we were unable to kill Zhao Hui, it also caused Zhao Hui to lose nearly 20,000 people.
It's equivalent to the previous win in Baima.
Moreover, Cao's army's losses are now less than half of that of Zhao's army.
I had been defending for ten days before, but I didn't consume the Zhao army. Now, on the way to retreat, the Zhao army has lost its troops and lost its generals. It has made a big profit for the Cao army on the weak side.
Cao Cao was originally a radical person, he was cruel and ruthless.
The number of troops increased or continued to retreat. Cao Cao made a decision after less than ten breaths.
"Le Jin obeys the order and orders you to lead 10,000 elite troops to bypass Jiuligang, and be sure to intercept Zhao Hui." Cao Cao ordered.
"The last general will receive the order!"
Although Le Jin failed the first wave of ambush, Cao Cao still entrusted with important tasks now.
Cao Cao knew very well about Le Jin's ability.
The failure of the first wave of ambush cannot be blamed on Le Jin. Even if Cao Cao is there, he will still fail.
Many generals in Cao Cao's hands have been sent out at this moment.
Some of them were in Xudu and did not follow Cao Cao.
When Le Jin left with his troops, Cao Cao had only 40,000 people.
"Let someone look at His Majesty and don't have any trouble." Cao Cao ordered.
"I'll take people to protect His Majesty."
Man Chong nodded and ordered to leave.
As for whether to protect it, only Cao Cao Man Chong knew it.
Yuan Tan stood under Cao Cao. He watched Le Jinman Chong leave, saying in his heart that he was not disappointed, that was false.
Seeing Cao Cao and Liu Bei want to divide Hebei equally, what can Yuan Tan get?
I followed Cao Cao, but I couldn't get anything.
Yuan Tan was very unwilling to accept it.
But he held back.
Seeing the many generals around Cao Cao leave, he didn't say a word.
Unlike Liu Bei, he is now working with Cao Cao, even if Liu Bei only has 5,000 people.
But Cao Cao needed Liu Bei.
Yuan Tan is now a stray dog, and he has nothing in his hands. The reason why Cao Cao took him in was entirely because he was Yuan Shao's son.
If he was not Yuan Shao's son, with Yuan Tan's strength, although he could not compare with Le Jin and Li Dian, it would be fine to be a general with a miscellaneous number.
But no matter now or the miscellaneous general, it is obviously not a result that Yuan Tan can satisfy the acceptable one.
If everything goes well, if his father does not die, he will still be the eldest son of the Yuan family and will take over Jizhou in the future.
Yuan Shao died early and died in Youzhou. Yuan Tan didn't know that even if Yuan Shao lived for a long time, he would not be able to become the governor of Youzhou.
But his younger brother, the underage Yuan Shang, is Yuan Shao’s favorite child.
Yuan Tan was not sent out by Cao Cao, but when Cao Cao received the war report, he was also listening.
I originally thought that Cao Cao's chances of winning were very low.
Yuan Tan originally thought that after Cao Cao was defeated, he would gather some of Cao Cao's remaining troops and then go to the south or north to establish his own door.
But now, Cao Cao seems to be about to win. If Zhao Hui is killed, the four prefectures in Hebei will be divided up by Liu Bei and Cao Cao, which has nothing to do with him.
But now, Yuan Tan could only wait and watch, he did not dare to make any extra moves, for fear of arousing Cao Cao's suspicion.
He still remembers Xu Du's rumors clearly.
He didn't know how the rumors appeared. It might be Cao Cao himself released it or Zhao Hui, but it was obviously uneasy.
"What should I do if Cao Cao and Liu Bei win?" Yuan Tan stood below, his mind wandering outside the sky.
Le Jin was very fast, and he needed to bypass Jiuligang and to run at least fifteen miles.
And we must arrive before Zhao Hui withdraws from Jiuligang.
He didn't know if he could catch up, time was very lingering, so Le Jin could only move forward as fast as possible.
After several failures, Cao Cao also trusted him very much. Le Jin did not want to let Cao Cao down. This time he must complete the task, intercept Zhao Hui, and prevent Zhao Hui from escaping.
The moon was very round tonight, without a dark cloud. Le Jin and the others held the torches and advanced along the path. Although the speed was not as fast as during the day, the impact was not very big.
When approaching Jiuligang, Le Jin also heard the news from Jiuligang.
Cao Cao's estimate of the speed of the Zhao army's retreat was very accurate.
Le Jin, who was walking fast all the way, was able to block Zhao Hui's retreat before he evacuated from Jiuligang.
Not only Zhao Hui, but also Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang.
If all these people can be caught in one go, even if Xu Shu, Guo Jia and others still have to support the young Zhao Yong, they will definitely not be able to resist the joining forces of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
The military generals accumulated by Zhao Hui over the years were almost wiped out.
Only a few people were left in Taishi Ci in Bingzhou, Liao Hua in Taishan County, and Gao Lan.
“Hurry up, keep up.”
