Chapter 855 Yuan Shao Escapes
The Wuchao was on fire, burning half the sky red.
Yuan Jun saw the faint flames in the direction of Wuchao from a distance.
Someone hastily reported to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao immediately ordered: "Ju Yi immediately led a light force to Wuchao to support."
"Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan listened to the order and immediately led the army to attack Cao Jun's camp. We must break Cao Jun's camp."
When Yuan Shao knew that Cao Cao's troops were attacking Wuchao, he was overconfident, thinking that Wuchao could defend, and Cao Cao's camp must be empty at this time, so he sent heavy troops to attack Cao's camp.
Some people advised Yuan Shao that this approach was too risky, but Yuan Shao no longer listened and did not send heavy troops to support Wuchao.
Ju Yi quickly moved towards Wuchao, and Cao Cao also received the news.
"Order Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan to lead 5000 people to attack Ju Yi. They must be stopped by me. The rest will continue to attack." Cao Cao ordered.
In this time and space, Cao Cao has a lot more soldiers and horses in his hands, and he doesn't have to take such risks as in history.
Ju Yi led his troops forward quickly, because Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan made a sneak attack because they rushed too fast, and Xia Houyuan finally beheaded him and fell off his horse.
Historically, this Ju Yi was beheaded by Yuan Shao a few years earlier.
But in this time and space, Yuan Shao faced the threat from the direction of Youzhou, so he didn't kill Ju Yi, but at this time, Ju Yi also withdrew from the stage of history.
Ju Yi was beheaded, and the [-] reinforcements he brought were also killed and dispersed after a while.
Cao Cao continued to storm Wuchao, and the fire had spread.
After Chunyuqiong woke up, he hurriedly commanded the army to resist, but Cao Jun had already attacked.
Chunyu Qiong went into battle, and was beheaded in a short while.
Wuchao lost its general and was gradually unable to defend itself. With the fire burning, Yuan's soldiers lost the courage to resist.
Yuan Jun gradually gave up resistance, and Cao Cao took advantage of the situation and burned all the food and grass.
On the other side, Gao Lan and Zhang Jai stormed Cao Ying.
Cao Ang led a small army of tens of thousands to resist the attack of Yuan Jun's more than 30 troops.
This Cao camp was built extremely strong from the beginning, because Cao Cao knew that his army was too few, and Yuan Jun would definitely attack.
In this way, they can only build the military camp very strong.
Knowing that the situation was critical, Zhang Jai and Gao Lan attacked desperately, with great force.
Cao Jun's camp has a lot of layout, and various defensive measures are used.
The two kept attacking from two directions, but Cao Jun's camp was too strong to attack for a long time.
"If you can't break through this camp, I'm afraid there is no hope." Gao Lan thought to himself.
Obviously, if their food stockpiles were all burned, hundreds of thousands of troops could only collapse.
Gao Lan continued to command the army to attack the camp, directly using human lives to fill the gap.
In a quarter of an hour, he had already filled in thousands of soldiers, all with their lives.
The attack effect is naturally there, but the strength of Cao Jun's camp is beyond their imagination.
In fact, Cao Ang is also desperate, the enemy is already crazy, and he can only desperately.
Take out all the defensive measures, if you can't survive today, don't mention all of this.
The army attacked wildly for more than two hours, and the total number of soldiers killed on both sides was more than [-]. Of course, most of them were Yuan Jun's soldiers and horses, and Cao Jun's losses were also considerable.
On the other hand, Wuchao was burned down by Cao Cao.
After the fire, Cao Cao and the others were naturally very excited. This time, they were going all out and fighting with their backs.
Cao's army didn't have much food, and if they couldn't win this time, they were almost in danger of collapse.
That's why he dared to take such a risk.
But he succeeded.
With Black Nest burned, they had every hope.
"Go, go back and support Ang'er." Cao Cao won the victory and led the crowd back.
At dawn, the news that Wuchao was completely burned down reached Yuan Jun's camp. Yuan Shao spurted out a mouthful of old blood and almost died of anger.
"My lord, without food, the soldiers in front won't be able to last long. Order to retreat immediately."
In fact, there was no need for Guo Tu to persuade him, Yuan Shao already understood that the situation was over.
"Let's go, let's go back to Yecheng, and make a comeback in the future." Yuan Shao said.
Making a comeback is not easy. This time they have basically been lost here. It is not known how many of the soldiers in the front will come back.
Yuan Shao abandoned the camp and fled back to Jizhou. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers in front to retreat.
Soon, the news reached Gao Lan and Zhang Jia.
Gao Lan and Zhang Jia temporarily stopped attacking, and then the two of them retreated to the left and right, and the two of them talked alone dozens of meters away from the soldiers.
"It's a failure, a complete failure, and all the food and grass are destroyed." Zhang Jaw said.
Gao Lan also looked sad, what a good situation, but it turned out like this.
"The soldiers only have half a day's dry food, and it will take more than ten days to go back to Jizhou. We can't escape along the way, and Cao Jun will definitely take the opportunity to hunt down and kill them." Gao Lan said.
"I understand what General Gao means, and I propose to surrender Cao Cao." Zhang Jaw said.
"Okay, let's surrender, otherwise it will be bad for us to flee back to Jizhou. This time we lost a million troops, and Jizhou won't last for a few days." Gao Lan said.
They stopped attacking and expressed their surrender to Cao Ang.
Cao Ang asked Xun You and others to guard the camp, and then said: "I will go out alone to talk to them and ask them to surrender. If we can recruit them, we will become the strongest princes, and we will conquer the world in the future, just around the corner."
Seeing Cao Ang's arrogance, Xun You didn't persuade him in the end. They knew that most of Gao Lan and Zhang Jai really wanted to surrender.
Cao Ang went out alone to accept their surrender. The soldiers laid down their weapons in batches and were accepted by Cao's army.
When Cao Cao rushed back, Cao Ang had already begun to receive surrendered troops.
Cao Cao was very excited. He patted Cao Ang on the shoulder and said, "Ang'er is doing well. You are indeed a good helper for your father."
This time Cao Jun won a great victory, and the war between Yuan and Cao that had lasted for almost a year was basically over.
I rested here for three days and took care of everything inside and out.
Cao Cao began to raise his account and discuss matters.
First of all, Cao Cao solemnly introduced Gao Lan and Zhang Jia to everyone.
"The two generals are extremely talented. It is Cao's luck that they can abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side now."
Cao Cao introduced the two of them ceremoniously, and also introduced other people to them.
The conditions in the barracks were not good, so Cao Cao didn't entertain them, and everything would be made up when he went back.
Then Cao Cao said: "Now that Yuan Shao has been defeated, the general situation is over. Our army has surrendered more than 30 Yuan troops, and our strength has greatly increased. What do you think?"
"My lord, I wanted to attack Ji, Qing, Xu and other places with great momentum, but our army has run out of food and grass. If it weren't for an emergency dispatch from the rear, our hundreds of thousands of troops would have starved, and now we can only go back to rest. We can make a difference only after gathering food and grass again." Xun You came out and said.
Everyone was helpless, the situation was great, as long as they took the opportunity to attack, they would definitely be able to destroy Yuan Shao, but at this time, they had no food.
