Gao Shun and Cao Zhang were fighting, and it was difficult to tell the difference in a short period of time.
" However, Cao Zhang's army was outnumbered and had suffered half casualties.
A captain next to him quickly shouted to Cao Zhang: "General, our army has suffered heavy losses and may not be able to hold on any longer. Please make a decision quickly!"
Cao Zhang had been intoxicated with the battle with Gao Shun just now. Now when he heard this, he discovered the surrounding situation in horror.
He found that Gao Shun's army had gradually formed an encirclement. If it was delayed any longer, the only 6,000 men and horses under his command would be wiped out.
He had no choice but to abandon Gao Shun, return to the army again, and command the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to retreat.
Cao Zhang understands that based on the current situation, he has no choice but to save more strength.
Under his command, he finally broke out of the opponent's encirclement before the opponent was encircled.
But in the breakout, another thousand soldiers and horses were lost. Ten thousand troops came and when they were brought back, only five thousand were left.
Cao Zhang couldn't care less about his heartache and rushed to Cao Cao's central army to report the situation here and ask Cao Cao to take shelter immediately.
After repelling Cao Zhang, Gao Shun finally established a firm foothold in the West Plains.
Afterwards, he did not rush to march immediately, except for detaching 10,000 troops to garrison on the plateau to warn Cao Jun.
Other sergeants began to make emergency repairs at the waterside and build pontoons to create conditions for the passage of the army.
Cao Cao was still nervously watching the fighting here, but he was shocked when he suddenly heard the news brought by Cao Zhang.
He did not bother to blame Cao Zhang for his defeat, and quickly pulled out a group of troops from the front line, led by Shi Huan, to drive away Gao Shun.
And Cao Zhang led the five thousand soldiers and horses back to block the gap left by Shi Huan and fight against Zhang Liao who was attacking upward.
After Gao Shun successfully captured the plain on the other side of the Jing River, he immediately sent a signal, and Liu Ke immediately sent Xu Huang, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals to lead the army across the river.
Therefore, when Shi Huan arrived, the riverside was already crowded with people, far more than before.
And Gao Shun took out his hand and once again led the 30,000 trapped camp to guard the perimeter. When he saw Shi Huan coming, he immediately made preparations.
Shi Huan was a well-known brave general under Cao Cao, but he was not stupid.
He only has 12,000 men and horses, but the opponent has 30,000. Instead, there is a steady stream of enemy troops crossing the river behind him to replenish them.
He understood that he might not be able to stop the opponent.
Therefore, Shi Huan had no choice but to stay in the distance for the time being, confronting Gao Shun in the air, and observing the opponent's movements.
As more and more troops passed by, Shi Huan's face became more and more ugly.
He quickly sent someone to report the situation here to Cao Cao, and advised Cao Cao to quickly gather his troops and retreat to Yinpan City.
Otherwise, when Liu Ke's main army crosses the river, they will be surrounded and defeated one by one.
After Cao Cao got the news, he immediately frowned.
He didn¡¯t expect that the opponent¡¯s speed was so fast. In just one hour, so many people had already crossed Jingshui.
Although I feel unhappy, I still have to seriously consider Shi Huan¡¯s suggestion.
So, Cao Cao had no choice but to slowly retreat his troops and rush towards Yinpan.
As for the three armies guarding the river, they also received signals from Cao Cao's camp.
"However, if they retreat suddenly, they will be entangled and hunted by the enemy, and they will suffer heavy losses."
Therefore, we had to retreat step by step and gradually.
Lu Bu and others who were still attacking below suddenly saw that the enemy's defense was getting weaker and weaker. They were overjoyed and immediately stepped up their attack.
Finally, they successfully landed on the Western Plateau, but were surprised to find that Cao Jun had already withdrawn.
"However, it is very rare to be able to land, and everyone does not care how many soldiers and horses the other party takes away.
Under Gao Shun's vigilance, Liu Ke finally led the large army to cross the Jingshui River.
The emperor's personal visit to the front line naturally greatly increased the morale of all soldiers.
Everyone also began to march neatly into the depths of the Western Plateau.
Shi Huan, who initially stopped to observe the movement in the distance, saw the strength of Liu Ke's army and knew that he could not resist.
He quickly led his troops to withdraw and rushed to Yinpan City.
Another hour passed, and Liu Ke's army finally joined forces with Lu Bu, Dian Wei and other generals who were attacking on the western front.
After counting, today¡¯s attack cost nearly 20,000 casualties, which is not a heavy blow.
But if it¡¯s statisticsThe number of enemies killed by everyone was more than ten thousand.
This data is not a big loss for the offensive side, which makes Liu Ke feel better.
Now, after a day of attacking, the sun has set in the west, so Liu Ke will set up camp and continue the attack tomorrow.
At this time, I suddenly heard information obtained from the prisoners. There was another battle going on in Niujiaogou, thirty miles northwest of here.
When Liu Ke heard this, he knew that Ma Chao must have arrived from Linjing and was blocked in Niujiaogou.
So he sent Lu Bu personally to bring 10,000 cavalry and immediately rushed to Niujiaogou to relieve Ma Chao.
At this moment, Ma Chao was still launching an attack. He had already killed most of the enemy troops and was about to break through the blockade.
But Cao Jun unexpectedly came with another reinforcement, which instantly stabilized the situation and repelled his attack again.
Ma Chao suffered a lot of losses from the continuous attack throughout the day.
Listening to the report from Ma Dai on the front line, there were at least 20,000 casualties.
He only had 50,000 people, but he suffered similar casualties as Liu Ke's army. From this, we can also see the intensity of the battle here.
And what makes Ma Chao a little anxious is that even after paying so many casualties.
Under Xiahou Dun¡¯s desperate defense, they still failed to break through Niujiao Gou.
So although the sun has set in the west, Ma Chao is still unwilling to retreat, otherwise all the results achieved today will be sent back in vain.
At this moment, Ma Chao suddenly discovered that there was another movement from Cao Jun on the opposite side.
Originally, Ma Chao thought it was Cao Jun¡¯s reinforcements coming again.
But within a moment, he discovered that Cao Jun, who was blocking his attack, showed signs of wavering.
He was overjoyed and immediately led the troops in person to launch the final assault.
It turned out that Xiahou Dun was concentrating on blocking Ma Chao's attack.
Suddenly, he was attacked by an army from behind.
He was shocked when he saw this and thought it was a small enemy force. However, when he went out, he was horrified to find that there were tens of thousands of troops.
But the leader turned out to be Liu Ke¡¯s number one general, Lu Bu.
This frightened Xiahou Dun, who was facing enemies from both sides, so he hurriedly led people to take advantage of Lu Bu's unsteady footing to repel him.
But Xiahou Dun obviously underestimated Lu Bu's strength.
Although the opponent has just arrived, he does not look like an ordinary soldier.
Xiahou Dun's men and horses were instantly defeated by Lu Bu as soon as they made contact.
The leading general had just fought with Lu Bu for less than three rounds when he was directly knocked off his horse by Lu Bu with a halberd. It was like a god descending from the earth, and all Cao Jun was stunned. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
