Xiahou Dun set out from Nanwuyang and rushed towards Pengcheng without stopping. Xiahou Dun wished he could fly over for the past two hundred miles. When he passed by the near Nancheng, he had already received news that Fang Zhiwen had arrived in Pengcheng to clear the outside world. According to Fang Zhiwen's characteristics, the most efficient battle is the most important thing, and he is good at night fighting. Therefore, it is certain that he will attack the city overnight. Whether he can arrive tomorrow night is still a problem. Xiahou Dun couldn't help but worry!

"General, take a break. The soldiers are already very tired after marching for so long!"

"This... cannot be stopped. Once Pengcheng loses, the entire eastern line may collapse. We must rush back to support as soon as possible, so that the soldiers can walk a little slower and eat while walking."

"promise!"

"Report to the general that the enemy's cavalry continued to approach me, and the scouts on the periphery had lost contact."

"Is it Xu Huang?"

"Yes, General, he has run from behind us to the front. I wonder if there will be any conspiracy?"

"This... they only have cavalry. If there is any conspiracy, they should delay us first. They probably want to destroy the road. In this way, I will lead the cavalry to drive them away to prevent them from destroying the road. You will lead the infantry to follow up. Scouts on both sides must be sent out, beware of the enemy's ambush."

"promise!"

Xiahou Dun led the cavalry forward and caught up with Xu Huang who was preparing to dig a trap on the road. When he saw Xiahou Dun's cavalry coming, the cavalry and aliens who were digging the trap immediately fled. Xiahou Dun was depressed. If he didn't chase him, then Xu Huang would definitely continue to destroy the road ahead. It would be nothing if the road was dug. Just bypassing the road. It was just a little slower to marching, but the baggage chariot could not pass. Xu Huang's intention was very vicious. This was to hold his heavy infantry. You must know that the only way he could deal with the elite thrust cavalry in Youzhou was the heavy infantry.

But if he kept chasing him, he might be dragged away by Xu Huang. Who knows if he would set up a position at some point and then ambush himself! Xu Huang has done this kind of thing before. Xiahou Dun had fallen under Xu Huang's hands last time. Xiahou Dun doesn't want to do it again.

Faced with this situation, Xiahou Dun was confused!

In desperation, Xiahou Dun decided to chase after him and drove the other party away even if he didn't fight. They must not let them destroy the road.

Xiahou Dun moved forward carefully and sent a large number of scouts to both sides. Xu Huang couldn't continue to dig a trap with peace of mind, but Xiahou Dun's scouts on both sides were in trouble. Many strange people were ambushing and waiting for these scouts. With the cooperation of Xu Huang's elite guards, these scouts were wiped out one after another.

Xiahou Dun could not bear the situation where there were no scouts on both sides and kept sending scouts. As a result, the losses of scouts alone were enough to make Xiahou Dun feel distressed.

The same thing happened around the infantry troops behind Xiahou Dun. It seemed that more and more Yi people began to gather around the troops. Ren Jun, who was in charge of commanding the troops, suffered from not having enough Yi people to fight against each other, and this situation became more and more serious as time went by.

During the confrontation, his scouts were constantly losing. Similarly, the troops of the aliens in his camp were also constantly losing. As one went up and down, Ren Jun's scouts could no longer leave two miles away, and the distance was getting smaller and smaller. Ren Jun felt that there seemed to be a big net covering him, which made him feel a little breathless.

However, Xiahou Dun ran farther and farther, and the huge gap between the two troops made Ren Jun feel very uneasy, but he had no means to confirm and judge the surrounding situation. This was really bad.

The sky was completely dark. Today was the new moon. The wilderness was very dark. Without lighting, you would definitely not see your fingers. In addition to hearing the footsteps of the troops, the sound of war horses around you made, and occasionally the sound of war horses running from afar.

There was a hill on the east side of the road ahead. Ren Jun was alert. If the enemy set up a catapult and heavy crossbow position here, he would definitely be caught off guard from a condescending position.

"Come here, send scouts to that hill, be sure to investigate whether there are any enemy troops on the hill!"

"promise!"

However, as time passed, the scouts had not heard back for a long time, and Ren Jun's heart gradually sank. There was no news, it should be news. Most of the enemy troops set up ambush there.

Ren Jun thought for a while and ordered the troops to leave the road, wanting to bypass the hill from about a mile and about the west side of the road. Who knew that less than half of the road had left the front army and the front army fell into the trap. Then, a rumbling sound of horse hooves came from the direction of the hill. It was a cavalry! But, weren’t the enemy’s cavalry entangled with Xiahou Dun, where did the cavalry come from?

Before Ren Jun could figure out where the cavalry came from, the cavalry had already shot two rounds of arrows and rushed into Ren Jun's rear team. Then the cavalry repeatedly interspersed Ren Jun's troops in the dark.

Ren Jun could only try his best to gather his troops in the direction of the central army, attempting to form a circular formation with supplies, chariots and horses to resist the impact of the cavalry, and then recall Xiahou Dun to rescue.

However, before the troops formed a formation, the enemy troops in the distance threw a large number of fireballs and turbulent oil with a catapult. The fire started to burn in the field. This not only pointed out the target of the enemy, but also completely ruined Ren Jun's plan to form a formation. The carriages were burning, and the pack horses were frightened and ran around. In order to avoid the fire, the soldiers of the crossbow soldiers formed a formation. The cavalry on the periphery were also shooting in a continuous rain of arrows.

Ren Jun was almost desperate, and he could only try his best to resist, but the morale of the troops dropped very quickly. Now he could only hope that Xiahou Dun could return to help immediately when he saw the fire!

Besides, Xiahou Dun was led farther and farther away by Xu Huang, and he was very uneasy. Just as he was hesitating whether to chase him, a red light suddenly appeared in the sky. Then, Ren Jun's letter of help also arrived!

Xiahou Dun was shocked and realized that he had been fooled again. However, where did the enemy troops come from? Could it be Zang Ba's infantry? This is impossible. Zang Ba is obviously still near Mengyin, so... Could it be Murong Fang!

Xiahou Dun suddenly realized that Murong Fang's attack on Tancheng was fake. He must have turned around halfway, threw down the infantry and advanced with cavalry, and then cooperated with Xu Huang to play tricks on him!

Xiahou Dun, who woke up, immediately returned to the army to rescue, but Xu Huang, who had been unwilling to fight, stole his talents and fully utilized his horse thief origins. He tried his best to pester and stubbornly entangled Xiahou Dun and refused to let Xiahou Dun return to Ren Jun to help.

Xiahou Dun used all his magic weapons and finally got rid of Xu Huang. Unexpectedly, he crashed into Murong Fang's ambush. It turned out that when Murong Fang learned that Xiahou Dun was back to rescue, he immediately let go of Ren Jun, who was about to be destroyed, turned around and met Xiahou Dun first, and wiped out the fast cavalry first. Where can Ren Jun, who was leaning on his two feet, run away?

Xiahou Dun is in trouble now. The battle formation was scattered by Murong's raid in front, and Xu Huang, who was behind, followed him and once again penetrated Xiahou Dun's troops from the rear. Then the two troops attacked in turn, completely dispersing and annihilated Xiahou Dun's troops.

This battle took a lot of time, and in the end, Xiahou Dun's whereabouts were unknown. Perhaps he ran away alone, but the cavalry was wiped out again.

Then, Murong Fang met with Xu Huang, and the two caught up with Ren Jun who had not escaped much. There was no need to hurry now. Within two hundred miles around, there would be no reinforcements to rescue Ren Jun.

The two surrounded Cao's army with cavalry, slowly used bows and cavalry to consume and torture Ren Jun, while shouting to ask Ren Jun to surrender. However, Ren Jun was a loyal and righteous man and refused to surrender no matter what. In the end, the morale of the troops collapsed and most of the soldiers surrendered. Ren Jun led the guard to the last moment, but was shot and killed by Murong Fang!

A beautiful ambush in the south of the southern city planned by Xu Shu annihilated Xiahou Dun's mobile troops. To the north of Xia Pi and east of Pengcheng, there was no longer the mobile power of Cao's army. Donghai County, Pengguo, Lu County, and Taishan County all became vacuum areas for troops.

With Fang Zhiwen's arrival, a large number of strange people suddenly rushed in, robbing people and money, and snatching away everything that could be moved away. Fortunately, Fang Zhiwen also needed a logistics fulcrum and promised that Yuan Shao could not destroy the city, otherwise, he would probably even demolish all the city walls.

That night, Cao Cao received bad news one after another. First, Xiahou Dun and Ren Jun were ambushed, and all 70,000 infantry and cavalry were destroyed. This attack was really unacceptable to Cao Cao. Then Pengcheng was broken in less than a night. Zurong raised the white flag again. Fang Zhiwen accepted Zurong's surrender, but cut Zurong, saying that he wanted to avenge Tao Qian with a arrow!

Cao Cao was almost lost by the continuous blows, and he knew that the Eastern Front had collapsed.

"Zhicai, my original heart is confused. What do you think our army should do?"

"There is only this method to shrink and shrink the lord in full. Now is not the time to consider gains and losses. How can we keep the foundation, withdraw our troops immediately and shrink our defense in full!"

Xi Zhicai's suggestions were quite pessimistic, but other staff members present had no better opinions.

"Shrink? Shrink to Huainan?"

"Yes, give up Xuzhou, give up Lujiang, and completely shrink to Huainan, Qiao County, Huainan, Qiao County, and Qiao County immediately strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, concentrated the people in big cities, gave up small cities and villages, and entered a state of war. The main force of our army immediately returned south, gave up its current territory, and returned to Qiao County to defend."

"Give up...what to give up?"

"I give up, Runan needs to be said to be temporarily maintained, keep alert for Liu Bei, Yingchuan and Chen County, and remain unmoved for the time being. Liang County is a barrier to Qiao County. We will strengthen our defense immediately. Our army will return to Liang County and Qiao County in full. There is a white land in the north. Yuan Shao's combat power will not be restored for a while. As long as we block Fang Zhiwen in Qiao County and Runan, we can calm down and talk about others later!"

Cao Cao frowned, picked up the battle report on the table with his trembling hands and looked at it again, sighing and said, "Okay, shrink, shrink completely, Fang Zhiwen... What a thunderous magnificent! What a war god!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
