Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

"Your Majesty, more than half of the soldiers outside the city have not yet entered the city. If the city gates are closed at this moment, won't they become the souls of the Han army's swords?"

Xiahou Lie hurriedly climbed up the top of the city wall, his tone full of anxiety.

Cao Cao looked bitter:

"How could I not know their situation? However, the Han army is approaching. If the city gates are not closed, the Han army's iron hooves will surely trample through Longle City, and then everything will be in vain."

Hearing this, Xiahou Lie closed his mouth helplessly.

As the drawbridge rose, the city gates closed with a bang, and nearly 3,000 Wei army soldiers were isolated outside the city.

"Open the city gate! The Han army is about to catch up!"

"Cao Cao, you are so heartless and ungrateful, why did you abandon us?"

"I don't want to die, save me"

These abandoned Wei soldiers shouted desperately in front of the moat, cursing and wailing intertwined.

The Han army arrived as expected.

They had red eyes, wielded weapons, and harvested lives indiscriminately to avenge the Wei army's previous tricks.

In a flash.

Thick corpses were piled up in front of the moat, and 3,000 Wei soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Cao Cao witnessed all this, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes:

"How can the Han thieves be so arrogant in front of me!"

"Bowmen, shoot arrows!"

The generals and soldiers were shocked when they heard this, and they all looked at Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, we still have our comrades outside the city!"

Xiahou Lie reminded again, his voice revealing helplessness.

But Cao Cao said coldly: "Since they are destined to die, why not take the opportunity to kill more Han thieves to vent my hatred!"

Xiahou Lie was speechless.

Seeing the soldiers hesitating, Cao Cao shouted angrily:

"Are you all deaf? Shoot!"

He drew his sword from its sheath and swept through the soldiers.

The Wei army archers had no choice but to shoot.

The arrows poured down like a rainstorm, and countless soldiers from both armies struggled in a pool of blood.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Han army turned their horses and retreated, and soon escaped from the range of the rain of arrows.

The Wei army soldiers outside the city had nowhere to escape, and could only watch themselves fall under the arrows of their own people, and no one survived in the end.

When the figures of the Han army faded away, the sound of arrows gradually subsided, and the world returned to peace again.

The field in front of the city gate was full of corpses, most of which were the remains of Wei soldiers, but there were also many seriously injured Han soldiers groaning in pain.

The Wei army soldiers on the top of the city witnessed this tragic scene, and their faces were gloomy, and their morale had fallen to the bottom.

Cao Cao's face was ashen, looking at the corpses of his own soldiers in front of the city and the dust of the Han army going away, the anger and helplessness in his heart intertwined into an indescribable sadness.

He turned and left, leaving only heavy sighs behind him.

The flood had receded, and the water level had returned to the normal thigh level.

More than 20,000 Han army infantry and cavalry began to wade across the river again, preparing to join the friendly forces on the other side.

After a thrilling battle and unexpected twists and turns, the Han army lost about 3,000 soldiers and horses, which was a disastrous defeat.

However, fortunately, Liu Bei saw through Cao Cao's trick in time and saved the crossing troops led by Huang Zhong, so that the Han army still had an absolute advantage in terms of manpower.

At the same time.

In Longle City, Cao Cao's situation became increasingly difficult. He failed in this battle and lost more than half of his soldiers and horses. Now the remaining troops are less than 5,000, and he is only one step away from complete destruction.

Liu Bei believed that Cao Cao had fallen into a desperate situation and could no longer turn the tide, so he calmly set up camp outside Longle City and prepared to complete the siege of the city.

At this moment, Cao Cao had indeed reached the brink of the end, and Liu Bei's war to defeat Wei and destroy Cao was about to usher in the final victory.

As the night deepened, the main hall in Longle City was brightly lit.

The king and his ministers of Cao Wei gathered together, their faces full of worry and helplessness, and sighs were heard everywhere.

Cao Cao sat in the first seat, holding his forehead with his hand. His once majestic face was now full of fatigue.

His eyes revealed a trace of weakness and helplessness that was difficult to conceal. (To read the violent novels, go to Fulu Novel Network!)

Below the steps, Xu Huang, Wang Shuang and other generals were also speechless.

Their former vigor and vigor were gone at this moment.

These former famous generals are now like bodies without souls, and can no longer find any of their former spirit.

"Your Majesty, we are powerless to save the situation today."

Jia Xu broke the deathly silence, his tone full of bitterness:

"The final moment has come, it's time to consider giving up."

The word "give up" was like a sharp knife, piercing Cao Cao's heart.

Of course he understood the meaning of these two words.

That meant that he would give up Longle City, which he had defended for many days, give up the foundation of the entire Middle Earth, flee westward, pass through Yumeng Pass, and go to the barren land of the distant Xizhou.

Everyone's eyes were all on Cao Cao, their eyes were full of worry and expectation.

They were afraid that Cao Cao would be too nostalgic for the Middle Earth, and make a decision to die rather than leave in a fit of anger.

Cao Cao waved his hand feebly:

"Forget it, pass the order down, tonight while the enemy has not yet surrounded the city, leave the city and head for Yumeng Pass immediately."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time was quite surprised.

They didn't expect Cao Cao to be so happy this time and make the decision to abandon the city. []

Jia Xu sighed softly.

He was the one who knew Cao Cao best, and he could naturally see that this failure had made Cao Cao completely discouraged and lost all his courage.

At this moment, Cao Cao no longer had any ambitions, and only had the idea of ​​lingering and seeking a way out.

In the dead of nightpoints.

The north gate of Longle City quietly opened.

Cao Cao led less than 5,000 remnants and left the Wei city under the cover of night.

They fled silently towards Yumeng Pass, leaving behind only the increasingly distant Longle City and Cao Cao's helpless sigh.

At this moment, the Han army had just set up camp outside the south gate and had not yet completed the four-sided siege of Longle City.

Under the cover of night, the 5,000 remnants were able to hastily go west and began their escape. .
