It turned out that Liu Bei saw that Cao Cao and Jushu seemed to be talking, and was afraid that they would negotiate terms, so he urgently ordered Gan Ning and Gao Shun to lead the troops to attack.

When Jushou saw that the soldiers and horses had come out of the city, he hurriedly reined in his horses and turned back. He ordered Wen Chou: "General Wen, advance the troops."

Now no matter how Cao Cao wants to explain to General Yuan, if he is really innocent and has been falsely accused, then he should stop his troops and ask for surrender, and then he can go back to Yecheng to see the general.

At this time, Cao Cao had already mounted his horse and returned to the formation. He urgently ordered Cao Hong to lead his troops to block the Xuzhou soldiers coming out of the city, and ordered Xiahou Dun to lead his troops to block the Jizhou soldiers.

"Ming Gong, now we are surrounded by enemies on both sides and there are many enemy troops. We are afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the enemy. We should quickly retreat to Yanzhou and defend the city. Since Yuan Benchu ​​ordered Ju Suo to lead his troops to attack, he must have sent troops to capture Yanzhou. Yanzhou cannot be lost!"

"

Guo Jia thought of a more serious problem.

Cao Cao also suddenly realized at this moment, yes, since Yuan Shao asked Jushu to attack me, how could he not send troops to capture Yanzhou!

There are not many soldiers and horses garrisoned in Yanzhou, but there are still many soldiers and horses in Jizhou in Yecheng. If there are soldiers from Dongjun, Cheng Yu and Shi Huan may not be able to defend them!

But now that we have engaged the enemy, how can we retreat? Do we not care about the life and death of these soldiers? Even if they don't care about the soldiers, don't Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong care about them either?

Cao Cao suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell off his horse.

"First retreat to the camp and defend it."

Cao Cao understood at this time that the opponent had merged troops from Jizhou, Xuzhou and Nanyang, and Liu Bei had many brave generals under his command. Jizhou general Wen Chou was also very famous. He was not a mediocre general, and he was attacking from two sides. If he continued to fight, he would definitely suffer losses.

"Return to camp and hold on! Return to camp and hold on!"

The military order was passed down, and Cao Cao's troops retreated into the camp one after another.

Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun also led their troops to resist outside the camp.

Gan Ning rushed to the front and cut down many enemy soldiers. Suddenly he saw an enemy general on the right, not far from him.

Judging from the armor worn by the enemy general, he was definitely not an ordinary general.

He slashed down five or six enemy soldiers with his sword, and then rushed towards the enemy general with his horse.

At this time, Cao Hong's troops and horses had been rushed to pieces. He was also trapped among the soldiers, and it was difficult to retreat.

As the enemy soldiers blended into the battle, Cao Hong killed several Xuzhou soldiers in succession, and tried to retreat back to the camp.

He also heard Cao Cao's order to return to camp and hold on, but he had no choice but to block these enemy soldiers and could not retreat so quickly.

He had just rushed back a dozen steps when he slapped his horse, when he saw an enemy general rushing towards him, clapped his horse.

This enemy general had two feathers stuck on his back, which looked quite strange. However, seeing him running all the way while slashing the Yanzhou soldiers blocking the way, Cao Hong knew that this was not someone to be trifled with.

Cao Hong knew how good his military power was and didn't want to offend this enemy general. Now he just wanted to leave here quickly and return to the camp.

But the more anxious he became, the harder it became to leave. Just as he started running, he was blocked by a group of his own soldiers, and he had to rein in his horse.

At this moment, I looked to the side and saw that the man was slapping his horse and rushing forward, completely ignoring the people in front of him and slashing with his sword. He was less than ten steps away from him.

Cao Hong shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way."

But on the battlefield, his shouts had no effect at all.

No one heard his cry, and it was useless if they did. Now there were enemy soldiers everywhere, asking them to get out of nowhere.

Gan Ning knocked down two more enemy soldiers, rushed to Cao Hong's side, and swept them away with his sword.

Seeing that he could not escape, Cao Hong had no choice but to fight, and quickly raised his sword to block it.

After only five or six rounds, Cao Hong knew that he was really no match for his opponent, and he would definitely die if he continued to fight.

However, seeing that his men and horses were being killed by the enemy soldiers and retreating continuously, many people began to retreat into the camp.

After a few more rounds, Cao Hong clearly felt exhausted and knew that he could not hold on for much longer.

"Brother Meng De, Hong has not failed you, you must avenge me!"

Cao Hong shouted loudly, and at this moment, Gan Ning slashed his shoulder with a knife, knocking him off his horse.

Immediately, many Xuzhou soldiers rushed forward and slashed Cao Hong to pieces with their swords.

Xiahou Dun was more powerful than Cao Hong and was better at leading troops in battle. Although Wen Chou's troops moved forward step by step, Xiahou Dun's troops did not appear in confusion, but retreated step by step.

Finally, after Cao Cao led his troops and horses to retreat into the camp, Xiahou Dun also retreated to the gate of the camp with some of his troops.

The soldiers in the camp fired arrows and shot back Wen Chou's Jizhou soldiers, allowing Xiahou Dun to retreat safely into the camp. Then they closed the camp door. Soldiers were all around the camp, pointing towards the outside of the camp with bows and crossbows.

Liu Bei did not expect this result.

Cao Cao retreated to the camp and held it tight. Although he couldn't hold it for long, it would be difficult to break through the camp today.

If you attack forcefully, you will lose a lot of troops and horses, so it is not worth it.

Now it seems that if Cao Cao does not abandon the camp and retreat, he will be trapped in the camp.

"Lord, I think Cao Cao is going to abandon his camp and run away. If he can set up an ambush behind his camp, he will definitely win a big victory." Zhuge Liang suggested.

Liu Bei was convinced and ordered: "Let Gao Boping lead 5,000 men to lie in wait behind his camp. If Cao Cao's troops retreat, they can come out to stop him. Don't let him escape."

"No." The soldier immediately left the city to deliver the order.

At this moment, the soldiers who were watching the battle in Beicheng came to report urgently: "My lord, General Guan has killed the enemy general Cao Ren and is leading his troops to pursue the enemy."

"Where is Xu Huang? Can he be beheaded too?" Liu Bei asked.

"Chen Shu Zhizheng and General Yan Liang jointly attacked the enemy general Xu Huang, but the winner has not yet been determined."

"Okay, now that Cao Ren is dead, they are completely defeated. Let's continue to investigate and report again."

"promise."

Mi Zhu smiled and said: "My lord, Cao Cao will be completely defeated this time!"

Liu Bei sighed slightly: "I will be lonely and uneasy until Cao Cao dies!"

At this time in Beicheng, Guan Yu beheaded Cao Ren and led his troops to pursue the enemy. He saw Chen Dao and Yan Liang attacking Xu Huang together. The two had not been victorious for a long time, but Xu Huang seemed to have been injured and it seemed that he would eventually be defeated.

Guan Yu slapped his horse and ran towards Xu Huang.

Guan Yu felt sorry for Xu Huang, a fellow countryman, and felt that such a powerful person should come with him to assist Liu Bei and achieve great achievements.

"Xu Gongming, please dismount immediately and surrender. You can avoid death!"

Guan Yu jumped on his horse and ran behind Xu Huang, shouting loudly.

Xu Huang was shocked when he heard Guan Yu's voice. He quickly looked back and saw Guan Yu immediately behind him, but he did not immediately raise his sword to fight.

"Huang has surrendered to Duke Cao, how can he surrender again?"

"A righteous person chooses the bright and assists. Cao Cao has no benevolence and is good at killing people. He also hijacked the emperor and plotted to establish himself. Helping him openly is like helping evil. My eldest brother Liu Xuande is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. He thinks of the people of the world and wants to assist the emperor.

In order to stabilize the world, Gong Ming left Cao Cao and returned to Liu, which is to abandon the secret and surrender to the Ming Dynasty, why not do it!" Guan Yu urged.

"Yun Chang, don't say any more, Huang can die in battle, but cannot surrender!"

Xu Huang responded while resisting Chen Dao and Yan Liang's offensive.

No matter Chen Dao or Yan Liang, if they fight alone, they may not be able to defeat Xu Huang.

But the two of them joined forces, and Cao Ren was killed in the battle, and the army was defeated. It was only a matter of time before they defeated Xu Huang.

Now Guan Yu reined in his horse and stood behind Xu Huang. Although he did not help, Xu Huang always had to guard against him. Because of this, Xu Huang was hit by Chen Dao's halberd again, which pierced the armor and stabbed the flesh.

Blood flowed out.

"What are you doing!" Guan Yu said again.

"General Guan, you have exhausted all your benevolence and righteousness. If you try to persuade him any more, it's useless. Watch me behead him." Chen Dao said, swung his tiger halberd again and scratched Xu Huang.

Xu Huang screamed in pain and slashed at Chen Dao with his sword. At the same time, Yan Liang raised his sword and slashed at Xu Huang.

Chen Dao blocked Xu Huang's sword, but Xu Huang failed to block Yan Liang's sword.

With a "poof" sound, Xu Huang was hit in the waist and fell off his horse, with blood spraying everywhere.

"Gongming..."

Guan Yu screamed, but it was in vain. Xu Huang would not survive.

"Hahaha... A mere thief general dares to fight!" Yan Liang raised his sword and laughed wildly.

Guan Yu jumped off his horse, ran to Xu Huang, and picked up his head.

Xu Huang vomited blood, glanced at Guan Yu, and said in a weak voice: "Yun Chang, please assist General Liu and stabilize the world, don't..."

"Gongming, Gongming..."

Guan Yu shouted several times, but Xu Huang closed his eyes and would not wake up again.

Chen Dao continued to lead his troops in pursuit of the enemy soldiers. At this time, except for the enemy soldiers who had already fled, those who could not escape basically dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender.

Guan Yu and Chen Dao escorted more than 3,000 prisoners back to the city, while Yan Liang asked the soldiers to cut off the heads of the enemy soldiers and go back to claim their merits.

Many soldiers led by Cao Hong fled back to the camp, and some soldiers guarding Beicheng also ran back.

Cao Cao was sitting in the tent, with Guo Jia standing in front of him. At this time, Xiahou Dun was leading his soldiers to guard the camp.

"First it was Xia Houyuan, and now it's Cao Hong and Cao Ren, as well as Xu Huang and Han Hao. Haha, Fengxiao, do you think... Did Gu kill too many people in Xuzhou and are they now coming to avenge Gu?"

Cao Cao heard that Cao Hong and Cao Ren were dead, as well as Xu Huang and Han Hao.
