Chapter 1043

After a long time, Cao Cao stabilized his mind, looked up at the people, and saw that they were all concerned. He said, "it's OK, Zixiu, order to board the ship. First, let's arrange for all the gentlemen and their families to board the ship. After the ship leaves, we will lead the troops to break through and leave Changyi."

Cao ang was about to turn around and leave, but Sima Yi suddenly said, "Lord, it's still two hours before dark."

Cao Cao was stunned and looked up at the sky. Then he suddenly woke up. Sima Yi reminded himself that there were thirty or forty thousand cavalry outside the city. It was more dangerous to lead the troops to break through the siege in the daytime. It might be better to wait until it was getting dark, and maybe we could escape more people. You know, the terrain around Changyi is not as good as our own soldiers More familiar than the East army.

Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, then turned to Cao ang and said, "Zixiu, you will lead 5000 Qingzhou soldiers to escort Mr. Xun and his family and all their financial affairs. After crossing the river, you will go to Rencheng and lead the army for your father. After a while, you will break through the encirclement and leave."

Cao ang wanted to say more, but he was stopped by Cao Cao's stern eyes. In desperation, he had to lead 5000 Qingzhou soldiers to escort Xun Yu and other people and the property transported from the city to the ship and leave the Watergate.

After Cao ang and his party left, soldiers soon reported that there was a large army of East expeditionary troops in the northwest outside the city. Without hesitation, Cao Cao immediately sent 5000 tigers and leopards out of the city. With the help of the soldiers on the north wall, he forced back the troops of East expeditionary army in the northwest corner.

With the resistance of Cao Cao's soldiers in the city, when several troops approached the northern city of Changyi, the sky began to darken gradually. With the help of this time, Cao Cao gathered nearly ten thousand troops.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Cao Cao led the army to break through from the north gate. However, when he left, he once again sent dozens of soldiers into the city tower. After the army left the gate, he also destroyed the Qianjin gate of the gate, which made the generals in the city have to look at the city and sigh.

However, even so, although the army inside the city could not follow, the army outside the city was ready to intercept. When Cao Cao led the army to the northeast corner outside Changyi, there were 20000 troops of the Li Department of Huangfu who had arrived here to intercept. In this case, Cao Cao had expected that, under his leadership, Cao Zhen led 8000 tigers and leopards to launch a desperate attack on the intercepted army.

Although Huangfu's Li troops tried their best to intercept and supported by 20000 cavalry troops, they were still led by Cao Cao to break through the encirclement. However, Cao Cao's army suffered a heavy loss. In the end, less than half of the 8000 tiger and leopard cavalry successfully broke through the encirclement, and more than 10000 soldiers were lost. In the end, Cao Cao Cao's army broke through with less than 20000 troops, which was the first to leave the ship Five thousand Qingzhou soldiers from Cao Ang's Department broke through the encirclement.

It has to be said that Cao Cao's timing was very good. Soon after the army highlighted the interception of the Li tribe of Huangfu, it was completely dark. The cavalry of the eastern expedition had to give up their pursuit and return to Changyi city.

Although Cao Cao finally broke through the encirclement and escaped, he lost a lot. Of course, after a big war, the losses of the Zhengdong army were also amazing. In the more than one month of the attack on Changyi City, the losses of the Zhengdong army's barracks were more than 20000, and the losses of the garrison were more than 30000. In addition, thousands of cavalry and nearly 10000 soldiers were lost when Cao Cao was finally intercepted to break through the encirclement. The losses of the whole Changyi War reached nearly 70000.

However, the harvest of this war is not small, the first is to capture Cao Cao in the base camp. Changyi, as the governor of Yanzhou, has been used as the base camp since Cao Cao became the governor of Yanzhou. For Cao Cao's army, it was a huge blow to their morale to capture Changyi in this world war.

Another point is that most of Cao Cao's most elite Qingzhou soldiers and tiger and leopard riders were eliminated. At first, there were 30000 Qingzhou soldiers and 10000 tiger and leopard riders in Changyi City, but in the end, less than 10000 Qingzhou soldiers successfully broke through the siege and left, and only more than 3000 10000 tiger and leopard riders arrived in Rencheng. Therefore, Cao Cao suffered a heavy loss.

The city gates on the West and south sides of Changyi city were finally opened when it was almost dark. At this time, Cao Cao's rout troops in the city had been completely eliminated, and the eastern army had already controlled the whole city. So Huangfu Chaobo ordered the army to enter the city for the night.

In Changyi City, Yanzhou's animal husbandry house, Huangfu Chaobo did not gather people all night for discussion. Instead, he sat alone in Cao Cao's former meeting hall, looking at the map on the wall of the city and thinking about the arrangements after the war. The war in Changyi has also caused a great loss to the East army. At least in the current situation, it can no longer fight any more. So the next thing is to digest the newly occupied territory before considering the subsequent war.

It has been more than two months since the war started in March. However, for this war, I have prepared for more than a year. If it was not for the strange soldiers from Yuzhou and the use of the mace of digging the son army, I would have easily won the five counties under Cao Cao.

Yes, it's easy. You know, except for the last battle of Changyi, which lost tens of thousands of troops to the Zhengdong army, the battles of the other counties were very easy to win. The total loss of troops was less than half of the battle of Changyi.

But this last battle also let Huangfu Chaobo see the real combat power of Cao CaoJun, and also let Huangfu Chaobo understand that his power's war potential is not as strong as he imagined. Not only that, but also let Huangfu Chaobo really understand the difference between attack and defense.Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo can't help sighing. It seems that he will have to rest for a while. There are many newly occupied territories. Although he has lost two counties in Qingzhou, it's not a bad thing for him. If there is an enclave, it will be too late to support anything. But the two port cities are a troublesome thing, and the most important thing is to build a new one The main ones are two docks, one is super class and the other is high class. However, it took countless efforts to build them.

Without the support of the two counties, I don't know how long the two port cities can last. If not, I'll move to leting. In a word, the dock can be rebuilt when it's gone, and the shipbuilders have to keep it anyway.

In addition to these, there are dozens of cities in the newly occupied five counties, and all the personnel need to be arranged. Although Tian Feng and others make a rough arrangement at the county level, and then confirm it by themselves, the personnel arrangement at the county level must be fully considered by themselves. In addition, all the counties need to build new battalions, which is related to the personnel .
