Xi Zhicai said with a wry smile: "We can only earn a chance in the early hours of the morning if we preserve our maximum strength. As for whether it is successful or not, only God can know."

Liu Bei asked, "Brother Zhicai, why do you have to break through in the middle of the night? Can't you do it now?"

Xi Zhicai explained: "It's absolutely impossible now. Liu Rui's army is fighting intently at the moment. If we break through at this time, it is equivalent to attacking its strengths with our own weaknesses, which is an inadvisable way." After a while, he smiled wryly again: "Then Liu Rui can keep his soldiers from the threat of cold in the severe cold like the heavy snow seals the mountains. I think there must be a unique heating method, but this way, Liu Rui's army has no effect on the climate. The adaptation is not as good as ours! At least many of our soldiers have survived the severe cold a while ago, so they can display stronger combat power in the middle of the night and early morning!"

Liu Bei nodded frequently, saying he admired him.

However, Cao Cao shook his head slowly and said, "If you retreat to the fourth line of defense, you will still need to stay behind some of your troops, and use the method of cutting off the tail to gain the chance of survival. Only in this way can most of your strength be preserved!"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Mengde, how many troops do we have now, and how many troops should we stay behind?"

Cao Cao was silent, and Xi Zhicai on the side said with a wry smile: "After removing the damage to Lü Bu's camp, and adding the [-] horses that you just brought with General Liu, now we only have an army of less than [-]."

Liu Bei was silent for a long time before he said: "If we leave too few people, then it will not be enough to attract Liu Rui's attention. If we leave too many, we will not have enough troops to break through. Meng De, you decide. How many should we leave behind?"

Xi Zhicai on the side was also silent. This kind of decision was about right and wrong, and he had no way to interfere with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was also silent for a moment before he raised his head and said resolutely: "[-]! We will leave [-] horses behind! I don't believe that Liu Rui will put the fat in his mouth and not eat it!"

Liu Bei also sucked in a breath of cold air. He couldn't help but look at Cao Cao more. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he let out a long sigh.

Xi Zhicai's eyes also flickered, but for some reason, there was a little fear in his eyes when he looked at Cao Cao.

At this moment, the battle outside still did not stop, and it was even more cruel than before.

Cao Jun, who was retreating on the fourth line of defense, because the area of ​​defense was reduced, those Cao Jun soldiers had a moment of respite, so that they would not be defeated by Liu Rui's army in one fell swoop.

The three of them made a decision and immediately began to execute it. Those soldiers who were wounded, those who were too old, and those who had a cold and fever two days ago were all gathered together, and Cao Cao stood by them. in front of the training.

"You are all my soldiers of Cao, and you are strong men, but now, we have reached the moment of life and death! Therefore, I can only ask you to help me..." Cao Cao looked at the crowd of old, weak, sick and disabled. With the doubts in his eyes, he grinned and said, "Tonight is our chance to turn the tide of the battle. I will lead all the elites and destroy Liu Rui in one fell swoop! However, I need you to help me hold the camp for an hour, In just one hour, we can end this war!" ,, . . .

379: Cao Jun Night Attack

Listening to Cao Cao's speech, the already numb hearts of a group of old, weak, sick and disabled once again became hot.

"Master, don't worry, even if I fought for this old life, I will guard the camp for you!" A veteran soldier burst into tears and his voice was hoarse.

"My lord, just go and kill that Liu Rui. Although I broke an arm, I can still slash twice!" This was a wounded man, and he was also moved by what Cao Cao said.

"Okay! As long as we are united, there is no difficulty that we can't overcome! Liu Rui's army is just trying to enjoy it, and it will definitely not be able to bear the bitter cold tonight. When I kill Liu Rui, I will take back those warm things. That's good. Things should be used by us!" Cao Cao laughed, and between these few words, many soldiers were full of longing.

Liu Rui and Xi Zhicai watched from the side, and they didn't feel good in their hearts, but they knew clearly that without the desperate protection of these soldiers, I'm afraid there would be no way to break through at that time!

Liu Rui's army, besieging and attacking Cao Cao, continued until darkness fell. The weather has warmed up a little recently, but Liu Rui's soldiers are already used to the heating. Tonight is suddenly so cold, it really makes many people I can't take it anymore!

It's just that this situation has been improved with the arrival of Guo Jia. Luban has transformed a small heating stove. Although it is not as warm as the big camp, it at least adds a layer of protection to the lives of the soldiers. .

When Guo Jia came this time, he asked Liu Rui to talk about another matter.

"My lord, now that Cao Cao is the turtle in the urn, but his total strength is still not to be underestimated, and our army has been fighting all day today, so Cao Cao must be even more unbearable!" Speaking of this, Guo Jia smiled: "I guess that Cao Cao tonight It's definitely going to break through!"

Liu Rui nodded. He had taken precautions for this, but he still didn't know which direction Cao Cao would break out of, so he had no way to arrange targeted defenses.

Thinking of this, Liu Rui asked, "Which direction does Feng Xiao think that Cao Mengde will break through?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "It depends on the master's wishes! If you want him to go east, then Cao Cao will definitely have no way to go west, if you want him to go north, then Cao Cao will never be able to go. South..."

If Liu Rui realized something, a light flashed in his mind, and smiled: "Haha, that's true! If we deliberately put a gap, Cao Mengde would struggle desperately, and even if he knew it was a trap, I'm afraid he would have to pinch his nose and jump in. !"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "That's right, so the lord needs to arrange the follow-up pursuit. Don't let that Cao Mengde escape this time!"

Liu Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Then Cao Mengde is fine, we just need to wipe out all his living strength, and the Qingzhou Gunzhou controlled by Cao Mengde is readily available!" Peerless Tangmen www.jueshitangmen.info

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Xiliang's army has many horses, and this battle requires more efforts from General Ma. In addition, the lord and General Xiang Yu can each lead their cavalry to chase and kill them."

Liu Rui nodded and said with a smile: "How could Ma Shoucheng be reluctant to give up such a good thing? You don't have to worry about this matter, I will let Brother Shoucheng know."

Guo Jia said again: "Master, remember to explain to General Ma, you don't need to kill them all when you are chasing them, you just need to keep the ghosts alive!"

Liu Rui wondered: "Fengxiao, do you mean to say that you only need to keep chasing Cao Jun?"

"Exactly! Not only do we have to keep chasing, but we also need to keep blocking from front to back, left and right, so that Cao's army is exhausted!" Guo Jia laughed, "If an army of more than [-] people stands still and lets us cut it, it will be very difficult. It's been a long time. But if Cao Jun loses his armor and armor on the way to escape, how many people can survive in this weather will depend on Cao Mengde's good fortune!"

Liu Rui laughed and nodded repeatedly.After discussing some details with Guo Jia in detail, they called the generals and asked them to deliberately leave a flaw in the south of the containment circle tonight.

If he chooses to be in the north, then Cao Jun's defeated troops will enter the town under Liu Rui's rule in large numbers, and then it will be a disaster.To the east, it is smooth, and to the west, there are many mountains and rivers, which are not suitable for cavalry to chase.On the contrary, the south, Yima Pingchuan, is simply the most suitable place to hunt down.

After finishing the task, Liu Rui's army quietly waited for the breakthrough of this Cao army.

In the early hours of the morning, there was indeed a loud noise in the Cao army. Liu Rui's tent was pitch black, but the generals were all wide-eyed, waiting for Cao's army to break through!

Sure enough, Cao Cao found the loophole in the south fence at a glance. How could Cao Cao be willing to give up after such a good opportunity?With the remaining nearly [-] troops, they ran all the way south to kill!

"Cao Jun is running!" The pre-arranged scouts opened their mouths and shouted, and the encircling troops on both sides hurriedly closed, but they found that Cao Jun broke through the encirclement extremely fast, and more than [-] horses ran wildly from this gap, even Liu Rui's soldiers were Desperately trying to truncate it is already impossible at this moment.

However, it was not so easy for Cao Jun to break out of the crowded Liu Rui army.Cao Jun was already in a weak position, and now he was trying to survive by breaking his tail. It was like a school of fish escaping from the mouth of a whale. He escaped, but Liu Rui's army ripped off a layer of skin.

"Good! Good! As long as we rush out!" Cao Cao looked at the many soldiers behind him, his mood was much more relaxed at this moment, but there was Liu Rui's chasing soldiers behind him, so Cao Cao said again: "The whole army Hurry up! Let's go back to Qingzhou, Gonzhou immediately, and then rely on the city to stick to it!"

Many soldiers were also lucky in their hearts. This time, following Cao Cao's crusade against Liu Rui, it was like a ghost gate. Speaking of which, the number of casualties of this coalition army has already exceeded Liu Rui's army twice.This also proved the strength of Liu Rui's army from the side. , , .

380: Chasing a Thousand Miles

Cao Jun rejoiced and fled wildly impatiently.However, Liu Rui's several large armies were far behind Cao's army and were not in a hurry to pursue them.

Guo Jia had previously explained that it was enough for the chasing soldiers to keep besieging Cao Cao without letting Cao Cao have any time to rest.

On the contrary, if Liu Rui bites hard, it will inspire Cao Jun's desperate heart.If that time comes, although Liu Rui can also destroy Cao Jun, he will have to pay a certain price.
