I have a mediocre system

Chapter 34
Qi Tian looked around in a little embarrassment, all the soldiers averted their eyes and pretended to ignore it.

Qi Tian didn't know whether Cao Cao was acting or his words touched his heart. He just wanted to flatter him, and never wanted to cause such an accident, but since the accident happened, he couldn't ignore it, right?

Cao Cao is still hugging his thigh!

Qi Tian was helpless, he couldn't get off the horse in such a posture, so Qi Tian had no choice but to pat Cao Cao's shoulder lightly on the horse to show comfort.After a while, Cao Cao let go of Qi Tian's thigh, and after tidying up his appearance, he cupped his hands and said, "Feng Xian has lost his composure!"

Qi Tian hurriedly got off his horse and said: "My lord has a true temperament, and Bu admires it!"

Indeed, who could not admire the courage of howling and crying in front of thousands of armies?

Cao Cao laughed heartily, and ordered the three armies to quickly sort out the military supplies and set off for Yecheng!

This time, I can't go lightly, but another strong city is waiting for me in front of me!
The stunned Yuan Shang was really at a loss now. If he retreated from here, he might be able to keep Yecheng, but the 40 army attacked, and he didn't succeed in achieving the strategic goal. He also lost more than 20. Back away in disgrace?
Yuan Shang really couldn't convince himself!
Yuan Shang knew that if he retreated this time, he might lose the chance to regain Qingzhou forever!Even such a result will inevitably affect the support of Yuan Xi and Gao Gan for him!
Without the support of Yuan Xi and Gao Gan, how could Yuan Shang gather another 40 troops with only the power of Jizhou?How to resist the invasion of Cao Cao and Yuan Tan in the future?

Is it determined to fight hard once, or return to Yecheng and wait for the final defeat?

Yuan Shang slowly had a decision in his heart!
Yuan Shang's 40 troops, 23 are confronting Xiahou Dun and others; Cao Cao has just dispersed another [-] troops, and [-] troops on the Jieqiao battlefield fought against Yuan Tan, losing about [-], and Yuan Tan's loss was about [-]. many!
In this way, the ratio of Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan's troops on the Jieqiao battlefield is 17 to [-]!
Yuan Shang still has a big advantage!
But Cao Cao is about to capture Yecheng in the rear!
Yuan Shang put his mind to it, squeezed out 14 troops to return to Yecheng, and led [-] troops to attack Yuan Tan frantically!Try to solve Yuan Tan quickly, and then keep Cao Cao out of Yecheng!
In this way, Yuan Shang can stabilize the morale of the northern army and continue to be his own master of the northern land!

What Yuan Shang didn't know was that Cao Cao had no intention of capturing Yecheng at all this time!
Although he sent 15 troops, Xiahou Dun was eating Yuan Tan's military rations at Liyang Port, and watched a play with the [-] Yuan Shangjun on the opposite side. Cao Cao himself led [-] troops to the north, originally intending to prevent Yuan Shang from recovering Qingzhou.

Even Cao Cao still had the strength to send [-] troops. Gao Shun led the army, Zhang He and Gao Lan were the lieutenants, and went to recover Runan occupied by the remaining Yellow Turbans!
I never thought, Yuan Shang is a bastard who is determined to annihilate Yuan Tan and regain Qingzhou!Only [-] soldiers were sent back to defend, and they defended in the wild.

Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't bear it!He made a decisive decision and rushed forward, catching Yuan Kai by surprise!
Things are different now.

Yuan Shang was in trouble, and Cao Cao stopped exerting his strength, and just surrounded Ye City in a sparse and sparse way, with wind leaking everywhere!
The attack went too smoothly, and Cao Cao was worried that he would knock down Yecheng with a little more force. At that time, Yuan Shang's morale would drop, and what should Yuan Tan do if he won?Really just accept it and leave?
Who did it?
But just destroying the covenant is not enough!
Strictly speaking, Yuan Tan is Cao Cao's nephew. This encroachment on his nephew's family property and breaking the covenant with his nephew, Cao Cao is not the same Cao Mengde who had nothing and did everything by any means!Now Cao Cao is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, a dignified Duke Cao, a decent man!How can you do such a shameless thing?

Cao Cao decided to wait for the results of Jieqiao to decide!
With himself deterring Yuan Shang's rear and Xiahou Dun parading on Yuan Shang's flanks, presumably Yuan Tan should win the final victory, right?
14 to [-]?

In the previous battle with Yuan Shao, wasn't it about the same strength?Lessons learned from the past, so obvious, it will definitely win!

With such thoughts in mind, Cao Cao began to sing in Ye City!
First, the archers stepped forward and shot arrows sparsely under the city of Ye. Then, under the curious gazes of all the Yuan Shangjun soldiers, holding their shields, they picked up the arrows that fell dozens of steps away from the city gate, and shot again. , pick it up again!
After observing for a long time, the judge in charge of guarding the house sent out a group of soldiers, thousands of them, all holding wooden swords and large shields, and slowly approached the infantry that Cao Cao placed in front of the archers. Soldiers have the same 'weapons'!
The archer raised his bow, swish, swish, and shot at the crew sent by the judge!
A thousand crew members were horrified, and hurriedly raised their shields to retreat, only to hear an aggressive muffled sound, the arrow hit the shield, and fell to the ground powerlessly. The captain who led the troops picked up the arrow on the ground in doubt— — no arrows!So he ordered the soldiers to put down their shields.Immediately, he looked at and smiled with the captain who was leading the army opposite, and everything was said without saying a word!
When envoy Yuan Tan came to Yecheng, he saw that Yecheng was no longer its former style. Hundreds of meters before the entire city gate, blood was spilled all over the ground. The ground was full of broken knives and guns, and damaged armor. There was blood in the camp!
The well-known champion Hou Qitian, with medicine on his face and a bandage on his arm, discussed Yecheng's attack plan with the generals of Cao Ying!Even Cao Cao himself had a wound on his forehead, and a trace of blood could be seen faintly!
The messenger saluted in astonishment, looked at Cao Cao's forehead and said, "Mr. Cao? This is it?"

Cao Cao rubbed his forehead, smiled nonchalantly, and said, "I was not careful, I was shot by an arrow by the defenders, but luckily it was not accurate, it just scratched my scalp!"

The envoy saw that Cao Cao said it easily, but it was not difficult to imagine the danger involved. What kind of situation would a majestic commander of an army and a party of princes take arrows in person?
The envoy was speechless for a while, unable to ask for help, he said after a while, "Is this city of Ye so dangerous?"

Cao Cao frowned, and said in a heavy voice: "I don't know exactly how many soldiers there are in the city. Anyway, it's not like the information you provided, [-] recruits!"

"Our army has been attacking fiercely for several days, and the defenders in the city are not tired at all. I estimate that there must be at least [-] troops. If it is [-], it must be an elite army, otherwise it will not be so easy!"

When the envoy heard the words, he felt even more ashamed!
