Chapter 916: Tiger and Leopard Rider suffered heavy losses

It's bright!

The sound of the night of fighting has not stopped.

The road was paved with corpses, and the blood had dried up.

There are nearly 20,000 corpses of Zhao Jun, and the corpses of Cao Jun have also exceeded 20,000.

Originally, before the arrival of the heavy armor corps, the losses of Cao's army were only a few thousand.

In less than half an hour, the result was reversed again.

The number of casualties of the Zhao army is lower than that of the Cao army next time.

Although there was only a faint light of torches in the previous half an hour, where the heavy armored cavalry passed, Cao's army fell one after another.

They were not at all prepared to defend against the armament of the heavy armor corps.

There were no trenches or traps either.

In the wild, completely unprotected, and suddenly encountering a heavy armoured corps, they can only be reduced to lambs to the slaughter.

Unless they can outrun the Heavy Armor Corps, they can only pray that the Heavy Armor Corps will get tired soon.

A bright white had already appeared in the east, and the heavily armored corps finally stopped slowly under the prayer of Cao Jun.

In half an hour, the hoplites were completely behind.

Although the hoplites are very powerful, they can face the tiger and leopard cavalry and the white-eared elite soldiers head-on.

But if the opponent wants to escape, it will be difficult for the hoplites to catch up.

Not to mention the tiger and leopard riding, even ordinary soldiers and horses, it is difficult for heavy infantry to catch up.

The best battlefield for hoplite infantry is the kind where they confront the enemy head-on, and the enemy will not retreat.

Even if the enemy takes the initiative to attack, they just need to stand still, and then keep waving their hands and slashing at the enemy with their knives.

This is the favorite battle of the hoplites, looking at the enemies one by one, like a rabbit that has collided with them.

But most of the time, their battle is a sprint, and then they crush the enemy, casually chasing for two or three miles, and can only watch the enemy run farther and farther.

The mobility of the heavy cavalry was not as good as that of the light cavalry, but it was still faster than the infantry.

It's just that it's hard to last, and the pursuit for half an hour is almost the limit.

If you continue, the war horse under you will not be able to stand it.

Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry suffered heavy losses tonight, and the 1,000 infantry without war horses were almost completely wiped out.

The two thousand on war horses also lost more than half.

If it were in the daytime, the tiger and leopard cavalry would not have suffered such a big loss in the face of heavy cavalry.

But tonight, the tiger and leopard cavalry faced the heavy cavalry, just blindly fled, and because of the dark sky and the corpses on the road, they couldn't run fast at all, so they could only be killed continuously.

Liu Bei's white-eared elite soldiers, because Guan Yu reminded him early, Chen Zhi retreated in time, but the losses were not as serious as the tiger and leopard cavalry, but some people were injured during the retreat, and the number of people killed in the battle did not exceed two hundred.

Zhao Hui gathered his soldiers and horses, and Xu Shu and Guo Jia also sent another team of men and horses to arrive at the battlefield after dawn and began to clean up the battlefield.

"It's a pity that Xu Chu and Guan Yu ran away." Dian Wei pulled the black whirlwind.

A war halberd hung on the body of the black whirlwind, a war halberd in his hand, and the corpse on the ground was picked up at one end, and the corpse lying on the ground was turned over.

Xu Chu, these fierce generals, if they really want to run, it is really difficult to be retained.

It's not an ambush here, and it's too dark, but it's just a moment, Zhao Hui and the others can't see their figures, just follow the direction of Cao Jun's escape, and chase and kill all the way for half an hour.

"Lord, Cao Cao has withdrawn."

When the battlefield was being cleared, there was another newspaper from the Malays.

The battlefield was too chaotic last night, and Zhao Hui couldn't receive news from Tanma.

Otherwise, he would have informed Guo Jiajia earlier.

Last night there were no losses of nearly 20,000 soldiers.

Zhao Hui cleaned up the battlefield here, and Xiahou Yuan and Xu Chu also chased Cao Cao all the way.

After fighting all night, now that it was dawn, they were worried that the Zhao army would continue to send people to pursue, so they did not dare to stay longer on the road.

Even though he was very tired, he still chased after Cao Cao in one breath.

Zhang Fei was also dull all the way, and the injury on his arm had been simply bandaged, but it only stopped bleeding.

Although Xiahou Yuan and the others had not yet returned to the team, Cao Cao had also received the news, knowing that his order to retreat last night was a step late, and he also knew that Cao's army had suffered heavy casualties behind.

Cao Cao naturally would not regret it, and if he did it again, he would still send a large army. He'll even press the whole army up.

Now his heart hurts, and the tiger and leopard ride that he has cultivated with great difficulty has directly lost one-third.

Fortunately, no other generals died in the back.

Otherwise, Cao Cao would really be in tears.

His face was expressionless now, and no one knew what was going on in his heart.

Liu Bei followed Cao Cao and also did not speak.

Although Yuan Tan was also silent, the two eyebrows on his eyelids were slightly soothed.

When he learned that Le Jin had died in battle last night, he almost took the initiative to open his mouth to Cao Cao and wanted to send troops to support.

But Cao Cao gave the order to retreat first, and he could only swallow back what he was about to say.

Although he didn't take the opportunity to get a team of soldiers and horses to run away last night, Cao Cao's defeat last night was good news for Yuan Tan.

He was in a good mood, but he had to endure it so that no one could see his joy.

Liu Xie's royal chariot walked in front, and Cao Cao's gaze fell on it.

He failed to kill Zhao Hui last night, and as a result, Cao Jun's casualties exceeded that of Zhao Jun, and at this moment he only had 40,000 people in his hands, even if Xu Chu and they could bring back 10,000 people, it would only be 50,000.

Now that he has retreated to Guandu, even if he has enough food and grass, but Zhao Hui is attacking, he is afraid that he will not be able to stop it for long.

"After you go back, how can you resist Zhao Jun?"

Cao Cao is now worried that if he loses this battle, his prestige will decline after he returns, and many people on the Xu side will start to oppose him.

I wanted to have a big victory in Hakuba, but although I exaggerated the merits later, the defeat in the retreat of Yanjin made Hakuba's victory come to naught.

"Report, General Xu Chu and Xiahou Yuan are already ten miles behind."

"The army stops advancing."

Cao Cao ordered to prepare to rest here again and wait for the return of Xiahou Yuan and Xu Chu.

"Prime Minister, we are incompetent and have failed to stop Zhao Hui."

After almost half an hour, Xiahou Yuan and the others returned, and a group of generals knelt in front of Cao Cao to plead guilty.

This group of generals had blood on their faces, hands, and bodies, and those blood had coagulated overnight and stuck to their skin, and when they spoke, some blood pieces fell off.

"Get up."

Cao Cao did not blame them.

Although defeated, Cao Cao still recognized the strength of these generals very much.

Although Cao Cao did not come to last night's battle, those who visited the horses had already told Cao Cao the details, and although Cao Cao was not there, it was as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

When encountering the heavy armor corps, even if Cao Cao himself was at that time, he had no choice but to retreat.

If you collide with Zhao Jun, you will only die more people.

If he had given the order to retreat, he could have arrived earlier, and perhaps he would not have encountered the heavy armor corps of the Zhao army.
