Although Xu Huang took the lead and played a role, the Li army, under the command of Hao Zhao, resisted the Cao army in accordance with the order, so that every time the Cao army advanced, he had to pay a heavy price.

Xu Huang took the lead in a surprise attack for half an hour, but he only advanced less than 100 meters, which made him anxious and worried that Li Jun would return to reinforce the soldiers and horses.

But it is useless to be anxious, Li Jun's defense has been prepared for a long time, and there are good generals who are good at defense, even if they attack for half an hour, an hour or even several hours, the result is not much different.

Seeing that the time passed minute by minute, Xu Huang's intention to retreat became heavier and heavier, but he retreated like this, he was unwilling in his heart, it was better to besiege and kill Huang Zhong at the beginning, and he also gained something.

After another two hours, seeing that the progress was far from what was expected, Xu Huang knew that if he did not withdraw his troops, he would only be surrounded, so he forcibly ordered the whole army to retreat.

But just when Xu Huang led the army and had not completely withdrawn from Dazhai, suddenly a soldier rushed in a panic. "Report! A large number of Li troops appeared in the rear of our army, and they were advancing in the encirclement. ”

"Huh?" Xu Huang's heart trembled, and after a quick thought, he asked, "How far is Li Jun from here?" ”

The soldier replied, "Less than five miles." ”

"So fast?" Xu Huang thought for a while and said: "Prepare for a big military battle, speed up and counterattack towards the surrounding Li army." ”

In this current scene, only by catching Li Jun off guard can Cao Jun hope to break through, and Xu Huang also thinks so.

But Guo Jia is such a wise person, how could he not think of this, he let the army advance slowly, because of this, he was afraid of being counterattacked by the Cao army.

The two armies collided together, and Li's army advanced steadily, and Cao's army's plan to break through the encirclement quickly did not achieve any results, and it was forced into a short-handed encounter.

Under Guo Jia's order, Li Jun surrounded Cao's army in one direction like a sheep, although Xu Huang led his troops to resist desperately, but to no avail.

Seeing that the space is getting smaller and smaller, Xu Huang is very anxious in his heart, if he dies here, then it will be bad news for Cao Cao, and the situation in Guandu will also change.

This is nothing, the most important point is that General Liu Xie will no longer have military power, and the words in the court will be weakened a lot, and if it is not done well, it will be occupied by Cao Cao alone.

No, you can't die here, Xu Huang shouted in his heart, his eyes quickly swept towards the surrounding Li Jun, ready to find a weak position.

After observing for a long time, seeing that Li Jun had no flaws, Xu Huang couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and shouted: "Now it has become a battle of trapped beasts, and it is all the fault of this general." ”

"But we are all His Majesty's forbidden army, how can we be restrained, not afraid of death, and rush out of the encirclement with this general!"

Xu Huang's voice fell, and the back of the axe slapped the panting war horse, and rushed towards Li Jun, and most of the remaining soldiers and horses behind him also galloped to follow.

Guo Jia, who was watching the battle situation from a distance on a high slope, saw that Xu Huang had already fought for his life, his face showed contemplation, and after a long time, he said to the guards on the side:

"Go and order the two generals Tai Shici and Huang Zhong to let Xu Huang live, but these Cao troops must stay as much as possible."

The guards were puzzled: "Lord Sacrificial Wine, you can obviously surround and kill all the Cao army, why do you want to open the net." ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Although Xu Huang is an enemy general, in Cao Ying, he can be regarded as a faction of the Son of Heaven, if he is surrounded and killed here, Cao Cao will have no one to restrain him." ”

Hearing this, the guard seemed to understand and said: "The Lord of the Wine Sacrifice is wise, and the villain's head is out of reach, so I will inform you." ”

"Go ahead." For this sycophant, Guo Jia smiled and waved his hand to let the guards leave.

As Guo Jia's personal guards conveyed the order, although Tai Shici, Huang Zhong and others were puzzled, they still strictly implemented it, and ordered the army to reveal an opening and let Xu Huang leave.

Xu Huang, who was fighting, was already dead, but at this time, Li Jun suddenly relaxed, allowing him to see a trace of life from despair, and hurriedly slapped his horse and rushed forward to kill.

After a desperate fight, Xu Huang fought his way out of the encirclement, and saw that there were less than 100 people left beside him, and his heart was extremely painful, but he still forbearably led the army to withdraw urgently.

Xu Huang returned from defeat and immediately found Ma Chao and asked him to stop the attack for the time being, and wait for the arrival of Cao's army, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

In fact, there is no need for Xu Huang to say that Ma Chao will not take the initiative to attack in the near future, because Huang Xu has an arrow, and he has been fighting for a long time, and he has injured his arms and bones.

After explaining Ma Chao, Xu Huang didn't take a break, so he hurriedly set off and rushed to Cao Cao's Dazhai, ready to inform the news and ask for punishment by the way.

And Guo Jia's side, when Xu Huang retreated, he also intensified his efforts to encircle and kill, and in less than two hours, he annihilated all the Cao troops who were still resisting, and captured more than 10,000 people.

This battle can be described as a great victory, but Guo Jia did not get carried away, but let Tai Shici leave with the prisoners, and then ordered the soldiers to build fortifications to prepare for the follow-up Cao Cao's army.

Tai Shi Ci escorted the captives back to Dazhai and reported the matter to Chen Gong as soon as possible.

After winning such a battle, Chen Gong also had the face to see the upcoming Li Huiyi, but in order to avoid Cao's counterattack, Chen Gong still carefully ordered Tai Shi Ci to patrol three times a day, and was not allowed to take the initiative to attack, so as to maintain the situation and wait for Li Huiyi to arrive.

Both sides have no heart to fight, and the vigorous Guandu has returned to its former calm, but behind this calm, there is a cannibalistic atmosphere.

Cao Cao Dazhai was discussing the matter of pulling out the camp and marching at this time, according to the time, even if Xu Huang and Ma Chao's troops did not capture any of the original and Yangwu, they should have gained a firm foothold and could accept the rear army.

At this time, Cao Cao was arranging the departure order of the army, when suddenly a personal guard broke into the tent and interrupted his words, making his face slightly angry.

"Report !! Prime Minister, General Xu Huang asked to see him outside the tent, saying that he was in a hurry! ”

The soldier glanced at Cao Cao, and when he saw that his face was angry, he hurriedly said it in one breath, so as not to be punished.

"What?" When Cao Cao heard this, he was puzzled at first, and then his heart trembled, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

Xu Huang appeared here at this time, so there was only one possibility, he was defeated, and the situation changed dramatically.

After a short period of distraction, Cao Cao hurriedly shouted, "Let General Xu come in!" ”

The voice fell, and the dusty Xu Huang entered the tent, knelt down with a ashamed face, and said: "I haven't seen the prime minister, I haven't been guilty, please punish the prime minister severely." ”

These words came out of Xu Huang's mouth, which shattered Cao Cao's only remaining hope, and he involuntarily leaned back a little, and asked weakly: "Say, how much is left in the army?" ”

Xu Huang's face turned slightly ugly, and he replied: "Back to the prime minister, all the soldiers and horses in the headquarters have been damaged in battle, and there are less than 100 people who come back with Suihuang, and the rest of the people are all encircled by the Li army, and their lives and deaths are unknown. ”
