On the hillside, the chess game between Cao Cao and Xun Yu was still going on.

Xun Yu smiled slightly and said: "Prime Minister, you are letting the tiger go back to the mountain. This will cause endless troubles!"

Cao Cao responded tirelessly: "Victory does not come soon. We let him go this time in the hope of attracting more tigers so that I can catch them all in one go."

Xun Yu smiled and replied: "The Prime Minister is still smart!"

At this time, soldiers came to report that Zhao Yun had returned to Shouchun City and asked the Prime Minister for instructions.

"How many people did we lose in this battle?"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, we lost more than 10,000 people in this battle. Among the generals who died in the battle were Xia Houen and other generals."

"What? Xia Houen." Xia Houen was Cao Cao's nephew, and he was the most favored by Cao Cao. When Cao Cao heard that his favorite nephew was actually killed by Zhao Yun, he couldn't help but burst into rage, but he was about to have an attack.

Cao Cao still didn't have an attack, that's because he knew that the king's most taboo thing was moodiness, so he

Now he wanted to pretend to be calm, and said with a smile: "Xia Houen is dead, Xia Houen is dead, Xia Houen is just a general, I sacrificed a general but surrounded the most elite Youzhou cavalry in Youzhou, if we

If we can attract all the men of that wild boy here, wouldn't we be able to pacify the entire Jingxiang County in one battle?"

After hearing this, Xun Yu smiled and said, "Prime Minister, you are indeed wise. I wish you the best to pacify the entire Jingzhou."

Cao Cao laughed. After a burst of laughter, he then ordered to the messenger: "Order all the soldiers to rest for a day and officially launch the attack tomorrow."

"yes."

The soldiers had just given the order. Cao Cao first arranged for troops and horses to surround the entire Shouchun City. The remaining troops and horses were all returned to Shouchun City, and then rested for a day.

Let's say that Zhao Yun and thousands of remaining soldiers were defeated and retreated to Shouchun City. Every soldier was exhausted and out of breath. Zhao Yun had entered the city and immediately jumped off his horse.

At this time, in the city, Guan Jing not only prepared five thousand archers, but also hundreds of tanks of water. All the soldiers dismounted one after another, picked up their bowls, and began to drink water. Some people

They took off their armors one after another. Everyone looked at each other and saw layers of sweat. Some people's hair was even wet.

However, General Guan Jing, who was standing next to him, came over and said, "General, I will bring you some honey water. Do you like it?"

After Zhao Yun shouted a bowl, he shouted: "Brothers don't drink, how can I drink?"

Zhao Yun turned to Guan Jing and said, "Bring me all the honey."

When Guan Jing heard Zhao Yun's order, he thought that Zhao Yun had drank a lot, so he quickly ordered: "Here comes someone, bring honey water to the general."

After Zhao Yun drained the honey water, he poured the jar of honey directly into the large water jars, and then shouted: "Soldiers, in ancient times, Huo Qubing once hit the Jiuquan and spilled the wine given by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty into the Jinquan.

Among them, together with the soldiers

After drinking heavily, Jinquan was renamed Jiuquan, and Huo Qubing also gained the reputation of Double Walls of the Han Dynasty. I, Zhao Yun, do not seek to be compared with Double Walls of the Han Dynasty, but I, Zhao Yun, am determined to share the joys and sorrows with you. Brothers, let’s drink together today.

."

Zhao Yun took the lead in scooping up a bowl and emptied it all. The other soldiers also scooped up one after another and began to drink. Zhao Yun persuaded: "General Guan, come and have a drink with us!" Guan Jing was greeted by Zhao Yun's kindness.

Then, he couldn't refuse and started to drink gracefully.

After all the soldiers finished drinking, they shouted loudly: "We must win, we must win, we must win..."

On the second day, the autumn wind rolled up, and the yellow sand rolled up the burnt flags. In the long sand and rocks, the smoking wood gave off a disgusting stench.

Several vultures were hovering over several corpses that had not been completely buried by sand and gravel. Several arrowheads were still on the corpses, but the broken spear was still in the hands of the corpses. In the distance, shouts of killing could be heard endlessly, maybe

Tomorrow morning there will be tens of thousands more corpses.

The dark wind began to howl, seeming to awaken the dead souls.

Although it is already the second day, after yesterday's battle, the bodies of both Cao Jun and Chu Jun were exhausted. Because the soldiers on both sides were tired, and because there were too many people who died in the battle, there was no time to clean up yesterday's body.

Corpses of those killed in battle.

…………

Under the city, Cao Cao was supported by two generals, Cao Ren and Cao Hong, and set up a battle formation under Cheng.

All they heard was the clear and distant sound of drum horns. Zhao Yun and Guan Jing stood again, on the city wall, and they saw the majestic military formation.

I saw below, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry in the center, square infantry in front, escort cavalry on the left and right sides, shield soldiers in the first two rows, spearmen on the second level, sword players on the third level, and sword players on the fourth level.

They were archers, and the soldiers under the city were all wearing bright helmets and majestic weapons... Below, the horses were neighing and the war drums were beating.

Zhao Yun looked at it and saw huge things moving behind him.

Zhao Yun asked: "What is that?"

Guan Jing looked forward, then turned back to Zhao Yun and asked doubtfully: "General, maybe..."

Guan Jing took a good look at the front again and said, "General, that's the Thunderbolt Car."

"Thunderbolt chariot, it seems that Cao Cao is preparing to attack the city!"

"General, I think so."

Zhao Yun turned back to look at this former Youzhou warrior, and he started to feel a little afraid.

Zhao Yun asked doubtfully: "General Guan, are you afraid?"

"General, I'm not afraid of them. I saw this battle. If we all die here, our Youzhou Army may really become extinct here. I think our best way is to break out. We must fight with King Chu

Get in touch, then the army will join together and attack them together."

Zhao Yun looked at the military formation below and thought about it and said: "General Guan, you and I have followed Gongsun Zan since the uprising in Youzhou and conquered Mobei. We once had five hundred cavalry to defeat thousands of enemy troops. We have not yet."

We are fighting with the local army, so we ask the King of Chu for help. Are we too cowardly?"

"No, general, we need to assess the situation. I think we need to rush out of the city today and pass the information to me, the King of Chu."

"Okay, General Guan, I'll leave it to the general to rush out of the city. Zhao Yun is here to take care of all the soldiers in the city."

After saying that, Zhao Yun bowed deeply, and then they began to watch the changes in the military formation below.

I saw a 500-meter-wide opening beginning to appear in the military formation. Suddenly, thunderbolt vehicles appeared in the opening of the 500-meter military formation. At the same time, behind the thunderbolt vehicles were large vehicles, and on top of the large vehicles were large vehicles.

It's a huge boulder.

In front of the Thunderbolt Chariot were ladders prepared by more than 5,000 siege soldiers, and behind them were rows of crossbowmen and spearmen. The entire military formation was rigorous and mighty.
