Yecheng must not lose anything. Once it is lost, their base camp will be gone.
Now that Cao Cao had stolen his home, Yuan Shang felt very bad and immediately led his troops to fight back. He must recover the losses and Yecheng cannot be lost.
On the battlefield.
"My eldest son, Yuan Shang has withdrawn most of his soldiers!"
When Guo Tu saw this, he exclaimed: "Just let the high officials and Bingzhou soldiers stay and continue to entangle us."
Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and said: "Prime Minister Cao must have taken action. Yuan Shang felt that Yecheng was in danger and had to go back to save Yecheng. His home is in the city and Yecheng will never be allowed to suffer any loss."
Yuan Tan agreed: "That's right! Yuan Shang, let me see how arrogant you can continue to be, then kill him ruthlessly!"
The Qingzhou soldiers he led launched a full-scale attack under the order.
Yuan Shang withdrew most of his soldiers, leaving only some of the high-ranking cadres. The pressure on Yuan Tan dropped sharply, and the offensive and counterattack became smoother and smoother. Now there was no pressure at all. Yuan Tan saw the reversal of the battle situation, and all his advantages were in On his side, he laughed with excitement.
"I didn't expect that Prime Minister Cao would keep his promise so much."
Yuan Tan laughed.
All the bad impressions he had about Cao Cao were forgotten by him at this time. He thought that Cao Cao was still a good person, but it was a pity that he was on the opposite side of the Yuan family. When he returned to Yecheng and took control of power, he would still have to fight Cao Cao again. Battlefield.
This was inevitable, and he confidently believed that he would be able to fight Cao Cao in the future.
The idea is very innocent and very cute!
I don’t even know how long I can live.
——
When Cao Cao made the agreement, he ordered the entire army to attack Ju Yi's camp.
Ju Yi's ability to lead troops was quite good, and he immediately led his troops to resist. During the period before the Battle of Cangting, he added Xiandenshi to stand in front of Cao Jun, hoping to block Cao Jun's attack.
However, he found that he had thought too much. Even though Gao Shun and the trapped camp were not here, the Xiandenshi still could not stop the impact of Cao Jun. First, the thick arrow shaft of the bed crossbow wreaked havoc, and after many people died, Cao Jun then divided into several square formations and advanced towards Yuan Jun in an orderly manner.
As soon as they got close, Cao Jun killed them fiercely.
The sounds of fighting on the battlefield continued to echo, and the shouts of killing were endless.
The two armies had been at a stalemate for so long. Yuan Jun couldn't help but panic when he found that Cao Jun had begun to formally advance and was coming so forcefully.
Ju Yi's defense was easily torn apart by Cao Jun. Cao Jun drove straight in and killed Yuan Jun, abandoning his armor and dragging his troops.
"Retreat and return to Yecheng to defend."
Ju Yi no longer struggled needlessly, and he knew very well that he would definitely not win, so he decisively retreated. He wanted to retreat to Yecheng to defend and wait for Yuan Shang's arrangements. By that time, he thought that Yuan Shang could deal with Yuan Tan and lead him. The soldiers come back.
As long as Yecheng can be defended, everything will be fine.
You can still spend time with Cao Cao.
As soon as Yuan's army retreated, Cao's army pursued him.
Cao Hong and Cao Ren respectively led the vanguard in pursuit.
Cao Chun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry also moved around. In front of the vanguard, they harassed and intercepted the retreating Yuan army in various ways, using up as much force as possible to prevent Ju Yi from leading his troops back. At the same time, Cao Cao also had people pass on the order to surrender without killing!
For a time, many Yuan Jun soldiers felt that there was no hope and dropped their weapons to express surrender.
Seeing that they couldn't beat him, they didn't want to fight anymore, and they didn't want to die.
"Don't surrender, don't surrender!"
Ju Yi saw the people around him dropping their weapons one after another.
The mood of surrender swept across the entire army.
He was so anxious that he quickly called them not to surrender, but they couldn't listen. No one wanted to die. More and more people surrendered, and Ju Yi had no choice for a while.
"General, Cao's cavalry is in front of us."
A soldier shouted anxiously.
Ju Yi looked up and saw that the light Leopard Cavalry had already cut into the front, cutting the battlefield and approaching to kill.
There were also tiger cavalry behind them. With the advantage of heavy cavalry, they rampaged behind Yuan's army and disrupted the soldiers who did not surrender. As for those who surrendered, they were quickly controlled.
The infantry of Cao's army approached behind the cavalry. Cao Hong and Cao Ren opened their battle formations and launched a siege.
This is to trap them to death.
"Break through, fight out!"
Ju Yi said anxiously.
However, there were only more than a thousand soldiers who were still willing to follow him to break out of the encirclement. The remaining ones saw the ferocity of Cao's army and heard the words "surrender without killing". They kept dropping their weapons and raising their hands to express their willingness to surrender. Don't want to die.
With the assistance of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Jun quickly launched a siege. Cao Hong and Cao Ren moved forward, followed by Yu Jin and Le Jin, surrounding Ju Yi's group.
Originally, Ju Yi had more than 20,000 people. Some of them were killed first, and then most of them surrendered. Only more than 1,000 people were left to accompany Ju Yi in the resistance. However, this small number of people could not do much in the siege. Just being pressed to the ground and rubbing.
"Is that Ju Yi in front?"
At this time, Cao Cao came out of the army and said loudly: "General Ju, if you surrender without killing, the Yuan family is gone, why are you so stubborn?"
Ju Yi raised his head, looked at Cao Cao, gritted his teeth and said, "Ju Yi, you are a general of the Yuan family in life and in death. If you are willing to fight to the death for the Yuan family, Prime Minister Cao dares to fight?"
He raised his sword and raised his voice, refusing to surrender.
Even though he was trapped in an ambush, he was not at all confused, his momentum was not diminished, and he dared to face Cao Cao directly.
"good!"
Cao Cao admired Ju Yi for being so loyal, but his stance was different. Since Ju Yi refused to surrender, he could only say it was a pity and waved his hand: "Come with a thousand men and fight General Ju!"
"I come!"
Ma Chao went out first and brought a thousand soldiers to Ju Yi.
"kill!"
Both sides shouted and then fought together.
The result was obvious. Ju Yi was no match. The more than a thousand people had lost their will to fight long ago. Although they still had cohesion and were willing to follow Ju Yi to fight to the end, they lost their will to fight and just didn't want to fight. They were all killed soon after.
Ju Yi saw that everyone around him had died in the battle, and he was no match. He had no choice but to commit suicide with a knife, ending his life with one blow.
"It's really tragic!"
Chen Zhou followed up and when he saw this scene, he shook his head sadly.
Cao Cao said: "It is indeed tragic, but the battlefield should be so cruel."
"Come, take Ju Yi down for burial. A loyal person should be treated favorably."
"Continue to Yecheng."
he said again.
Guo Jia said: "You can send a signal to the people in the city to open the city gate and welcome us."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Fengxiao, arrange it!"
After making these arrangements, Cao Jun continued to advance and soon came to Yecheng.
Above Yecheng, the soldiers guarding Yecheng suddenly panicked when they saw Cao's army approaching the city and Ju Yi seemed to be gone. Su You, the guard who stayed in Yecheng, immediately boarded the tower and ordered his soldiers to launch a defense.
"Yecheng, I'm here!"
Cao Cao raised his head and looked at the tall city wall.
He also had an obsession with Yecheng, so much so that he later took over the power and moved his political center to Yecheng to build the Tongque Tower.
At this time, they finally arrived at the city, and they were about to take the city down.
However, Cao Cao did not take action immediately. He was waiting for any movement in the city, which had other plans.
