Chapter 3088 Cao Jun's Defeat (5)

The bed crossbow had an absolute advantage over the repeated crossbow chariot in terms of range. However, Cao's army withstood the fierce attacks of two Jin armies, and their formations continued to shrink. They mainly defended and did not dare to fight easily.

In the middle of the Jin army, news from the battlefield continued to come in. In the dark night, it was difficult for the soldiers using the fairy mirror to see clearly what was happening on the battlefield. More news needed to be passed back by scouts.

"Now it seems that Cao Jun is planning to retreat." Lu Bu said.

"Indeed, Cao Cao asked the Liennu Army to return to the Central Army. Cao Cao's army must not be able to withstand our army's attack. He wants to let the Liennu Army return to the Central Army in an attempt to alleviate the crisis of the Central Army. In this case, Cao Cao wants to return to the Central Army.

Launching an attack on our army has become a luxury, and the failure of Cao's army has become a foregone conclusion." Guo Jia said slowly.

"If it were left to daylight, Cao's army retreats, and our army's pursuit can bring greater harm to Cao's soldiers. At such a night, chasing Cao's army will inevitably become a big problem." Lu Bu said.

The counselors on the field also felt trouble when they heard this. They were secretly relieved to defeat Cao Jun, but killing Cao Jun's elite as much as possible would be of great help in the war that may follow.

"Your Majesty, if you allow Cong Ai's army to retreat at night, there will inevitably be big problems. There are a large number of cavalry in our army. If we don't allow the cavalry to attack, it will continue to cause harassment to Cao's army. The soldiers of Cao's army who have just experienced it will encounter a cavalry attack.

When this happens, you will definitely feel panic in your heart. If this is the case, many of Cao's soldiers will choose to surrender." Tian Feng stepped forward and said.

Lu Bu nodded slightly and said: "Yuan Hao's words are so true that Cao's army panicked. It is our army's chance to kill Cao's army more. Otherwise, it will be bad if more Cao's army leaves."

"Where is Huang Xu?" Lu Bu suddenly raised his voice.

"The general is here." After hearing Lu Bu's shout from afar, Huang Xu hurriedly rode over.

Huang Xu is now the deputy commander of the personal guards. He is mainly responsible for the affairs of the personal guards, and the main task of the personal guards is to protect the safety of Lu Bu. This is indeed a huge nursery rhyme for a general, and it is also a lot of torture.

, as a military general, Huang Xu naturally wanted to fight on the battlefield, which was a key battle against Cao's army.

However, due to his responsibilities, Huang Xu had to work hard to complete the defensive tasks of the Chinese army.

"Now that Cao's army is showing signs of retreat, our army has made great progress on the battlefield. You lead the bodyguard cavalry forward and try to block the enemy's retreat as much as possible." Lu Bu ordered.

"The last general takes orders." Huang Xu said excitedly.

Thousands of personal guards headed towards the battlefield at Huang Xu's call.

"Instruct Taishi Ci and Dian Wei to prepare for the pursuit of Cao's army. You must be careful during the pursuit." Lu Bu ordered.

After the Chinese army issued orders one after another, the entire Jin army on the battlefield slowly approached the direction of Cao Jun, and the cavalry also hovered near Cao Jun.

With the continuous ballista as cover, Cao Jun began to retreat.

The Liennu Army endured a lot of pressure in the battle against the Jin army, mainly because there were bed crossbows among the Jin army. The bed crossbow was much slower than the Liennu Chariot in terms of firing rate, but the bed crossbow

The power of the crossbow after it is released is far beyond what a repeating crossbow vehicle can achieve. The most important thing is the advantage of the bed crossbow in range, which allows it to bring greater damage to Cao's army when attacking.

Such a situation is extremely unfavorable for Cao Jun. It cannot alleviate the enemy's crossbow attack. The next battle will definitely be a huge challenge for Cao Jun's repeating crossbow riders.

The soldiers in the army have gradually withdrawn from the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Liannu Army are also anxious.

Zhao Yun behaved relatively calmly. Even when Cao Jun retreated, he fought steadily. The main direction of the attack was Cao Jun's crossbow chariots.

Destroying the enemy's ballistae as much as possible can reduce obstacles in the pursuit of Cao's army.

The continuous ballistae can greatly affect the pursuit of the army, and it will also affect the elephant soldiers. Currently, there are more than a thousand continuous ballistas in Cao's army, even if they cannot follow closely behind Cao's army in pursuit.

, it would be of great significance if all Cao Jun's crossbow chariot teams could be left on the battlefield.

Although these repeating ballistas are not necessarily owned by Cao's army, the soldiers who control the repeating ballistas are not so easy to train.

It is very necessary to allow the enemy's continuous ballista vehicles to suffer greater losses in such an attack.

"General Zhao, the Holy Emperor has sent an order to kill Cao Jun's soldiers as much as possible. Cao Jun is currently preparing to withdraw from the battlefield." The messenger came quickly to convey Lu Bu's order.

"Tell Your Majesty that the general will definitely complete the mission." Zhao Yun said loudly.

The generals in the army also learned about the retreat of Cao's army. Nothing could be more encouraging to the soldiers in the army than the enemy's choice to retreat. From the battle against Cao's army to the present, the soldiers of Jin have paid a lot for it.

At a great cost, many elite soldiers died on the battlefield, and now they finally won the battle.

The retreat of Cao's army meant that the Jin army had won the battle.

Yu Jin's face was a little serious. Judging from the attack of the Jin army on the opposite side and the dispatch of troops and horses, he felt that the enemy soldiers were about to make a move.

As the Liennu chariots continued to retreat, Yu Jin knew very well what kind of test the Liennu army would have to endure once the news of the army's retreat became known to the enemy. Tens of thousands of soldiers seemed like a lot, but how should they be divided?

Such occasions.

Cao's army had just experienced a fierce battle. After suffering a lot of losses, the soldiers in the army were already afraid of the Jin soldiers. At this time, their strength on the battlefield was not as good as 70% of the usual.

In terms of elite level, there is a big gap between Cao's soldiers and Jin's soldiers.

If they were blocked by Jin soldiers on the way to retreat, the soldiers in the army would be in such panic.

Being ordered at the critical moment, Yu Jin had a heavy task on his shoulders. The Liannu Army was the most important factor in covering the army's gradual retreat from the battlefield. If the Liannu Army could not play a sufficient role in fighting against the Jin's pursuing troops, the army would

Falling into a dangerous situation.

Cao Jun has already failed in this battle. How to preserve the strength of the army as much as possible after the army's defeat is extremely important to Cao Jun.

At this time, Yu Jin's belief was to stop the Jin army as much as possible. He had already put his personal life and death aside. Without Cao Cao's appreciation, he would not have reached the point where he is in the army now. Cao Cao had the kindness to him, so

His kindness is worth devoting his life to repay.
