If the war continues in this way, Cao's army will inevitably lose in the end. Such a consumption is not something that Cao's army can bear at present.

"Lord, the enemy's attack was fierce, and the soldiers in the army paid a heavy price in this battle." Xia Houyuan said.

Cao Cao nodded. Today, during the Jin army's attack on the city, he had been watching from a distance. During the enemy's attack, the performance of his own soldiers was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, but this was also consistent with Cao Cao's soldiers.

Previous failures have a lot to do with it.

Why doesn't Cao Cao want to change the current situation so that the soldiers in the army can have a higher fighting spirit when facing the enemy? Only in this way can he successfully defend Xudu.

"We tried our best to stop the enemy's attack. I don't believe it. There are 40,000 defenders in the city and they still can't stop the Jin army's attack." Cao Cao said solemnly.

"General, I understand." Xia Houyuan cupped his fists and said.

Cao Cao understood that he could not abandon Xudu City. It was best to inflict greater damage to the Jin army in Xudu City. Only in this way could he continue to survive. Otherwise, once the army left the city, Cao Cao's army would be greeted by even more enemies.

In a cruel war, the Jin army will not let go of such an opportunity. They will burst out with more powerful combat power on the battlefield and keep Cao's army on the battlefield as much as possible.

After consuming more of the Jin army's strength and heading to Yanzhou, Cao Cao still had a chance.

But wouldn't Lu Bu see through such a simple strategy? Can Cao Jun's soldiers persist in such an attack? The war is in an extremely unfavorable situation for Cao Jun.

Xia Houyuan also felt an unusual atmosphere during the offensive meeting of the Jin army soldiers. The Cao army soldiers were still relatively tenacious, but the Jin army soldiers looked even more fierce. They blocked the Jin army soldiers' attack and had a lot of power.

The great difficulty was that when Xia Houyuan was guarding Wancheng, he was defeated by such an attack by the Jin army. Therefore, Xia Houyuan had a clearer understanding of such an attack method.

When the defenders lost the advantage of the city wall and the army was in panic, the attack launched by the Jin army was absolutely fatal to Cao's soldiers. No one wanted to pay the price with their lives in such a battle. With this idea, they

In the process of blocking the enemy's attack, you will inevitably not use all your strength. This is also human nature.

Lieutenant generals in the army want to survive this war, even Xia Houyuan, but the war they need to go through to survive must be cruel.

The injured soldiers of Cao's army were placed separately. The injured soldiers of Cao's army rarely received treatment, unless they were generals in the army. This is also the current situation of the armies of the princes. It is not worth spending more money for the injured soldiers.

Much price.

Although the generals in the army also understood that treating these injured soldiers would allow the soldiers in the army to perform more bravely when dealing with the enemy, but with the strength in the city, Cao Cao could not help but be careless.

This is a cruel war. If we cannot preserve our own strength during the war, a cruel situation will follow.

Cao Cao has experienced many wars and naturally understands the truth.

The Jin army launched a ferocious attack, which was also a big stimulus to the aristocratic families in the city and the officials in the court. The Jin army relied on this method to defeat Jiangling City and Wancheng. This method of attack made Cao Jun's

What the soldiers felt was deep helplessness.

The attack launched by the soldiers of the Jin army gave people a sense of impeccableness. When the family hated Lu Bu, they had to admit that in terms of military strength, the Jin army was far superior to other princes. This was also the most terrifying aspect of Lu Bu.

The aristocratic family had a profound foundation, and Lu Bu relied on his strong military power to make the aristocratic family pay a heavy price in each battle. In this way, the aristocratic family understood that there would never be a good outcome if they went against the Jin army.

At this time, the family did not want to open the city gate to welcome the Jin army into the city. They had already felt that Cao Cao had reached the end of the battle. Even defending Xudu City was difficult to do. Once the city was breached, the family

Without outstanding performance, what kind of cruel situation will await the family? At this point, the family still has a clear understanding.

If you want to survive in Lu Bu's hands, you need to have enough merit, otherwise everything will be in vain. The family wants to preserve the family's strength, but Cao Cao and Lu Bu have their own plans.

At this time, it was not an easy matter for the aristocratic family to influence the situation in the city. When Cao Cao dealt with the aristocratic family, he did not show any mercy. His actions made the aristocratic family feel panic.

Cao Cao knew that the main purpose of Lu Bu's current attack on the city was to kill himself. Only if he died could Lu Bu feel more at ease.

Without him, when Yanzhou and Yuzhou have Cao Cao, the situation will change completely, and without Cao Cao, the remaining things will be much easier to handle.

Cao Cao didn't understand the reason, but at present, Cao Cao's army was absolutely weak, and there was no possibility of victory against the Jin army.

But Cao Cao couldn't give up. After many years of hard work, it was difficult for Cao Cao to give up his previous efforts just because of the fierce enemy attack. At this point, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's personalities were similar. Until the final moment

, will not give up easily, even if there is a chance, they will not give up easily, because everything they have now is hard-won.

How many years of hard work have led to the current situation. Once Xu Capital City is abandoned without causing more trouble to the enemy, the most likely situation is that after returning to Yanzhou, they will be immediately wiped out by Lu Bu.

This kind of situation is naturally not what Cao Cao wants to see. He has to continue to live. Even if there is only Yanzhou, there is still a chance to occupy Xuzhou and Yuzhou for many years. How could Cao Cao have no other means in the two states? As long as he has enough

With time to recuperate, Cao Cao is confident that he will regain the lost city again. This is also the confidence that a monarch must have.

If you choose to surrender in the face of a powerful enemy, it is difficult for such a person to achieve much.

Naturally, the aristocratic families in the city didn't understand what Cao Cao was thinking. What they wanted to do was to make contributions at this time. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Cao Cao was already on his last legs and was at an absolute disadvantage in the battle. As long as the city was breached, Cao Cao would only have

Yanzhou can leave, Jiangdong has formed an alliance with Lu Bu, or Sun Quan has given in again.
