...

The Cao army soldiers from the brigade began to evacuate from the Zhongtiaoshan camp with dejected expression.

In the river bank area where the pontoon bridge is located, a large area of ​​Cao's army lined up to cross the river.

These situations fell into the eyes of everyone above Tongguan.

"Lingjun! Order to attack!"

Ma Yue looked at the Cao army who were slowly advancing on the pontoon bridge, as if he was staring at the pieces of barbecue pork belly, "Here you grab the pontoon bridge and kill the scattered defenders, and see how they escape!"

The soldiers of Cao's army were obviously extremely tired.

He came from afar, but suffered consecutive defeats. Now he dragged his tired and injured body back without asking. It seemed that even the word "六" was slowly shaking over Cao's army.

This is a miraculous victory!

Ma Yue was filled with a thrill of heart. He was willing to put the last and most beautiful end for this miraculous victory!

But Pang Tong frowned and didn't say anything for a while. He was just looking at the Cao army soldiers, as if he was calculating something...

Because of Fei Qian's influence, Pang Tong's current sensitivity to certain things is beyond historicity. There is no point in talking about being stronger or the strongest, it is just that the different intake of knowledge has created different views and has different life paths.

Just like now, Pang Tongyi did not express his pride in saying that he was defeated by Cao's army, nor did he be excited and happy when he saw Cao's army retreating. Instead, he was calculating something, and the more he calculated, the more he frowned.

"Lingjun is this..." Zhang Liao said from the side, "There is the wrong number of Cao's soldiers?"

Pang Tong nodded, "Wen Yuan, do you see it too?"

Although in history, not only ancient and modern times, but also in China and abroad, most of the time, they like to brag. Expanding their own military strength is a strategy to deter opponents, and it is understandable, but this kind of bragging cannot be regarded as unshakable evidence.

Cao Cao in history is actually extremely conservative, and the one who can brag the most is Herodotus. Strictly speaking, this guy is just like Mr. Luo, who wrote a novel about history, but some fools took this novel seriously and then swear to say that ancient Greece was awesome and Westerners were powerful. These are real history, and people never make fakes...

Pang Tong is calculating the number of people.

This is a very simple thing that can be done by mastering the most basic arithmetic skills.

Because the number of people is often the most real and cannot deceive people.

Just like the so-called ancient Greek historical documents, the data on specific population records are obviously very unreliable. Only the ancient Greeks survived by eating air, so that data could exist. A few brain-friendly historical experts may have discovered these problems long ago and started the hole-filling project of ancient Greek civilization.

In fact, the population of ancient Greece was at least one hundred times. If the hole repair project was reduced to one percent, the war between Athens and Sparta would be actually a fight between two villages and 3200 people. This is obviously not enough and cannot be called a civilization. If the hole repair project was reduced to one tenth, the war between Athens and Sparta would be just a fight between three or two thousand people between two counties. Such a population size naturally cannot be carried out across the sea or plundering colonies, and it is still not as good as civilization...

These experts worked hard for the glorious image of ancient Greek civilization, but no matter how they repaired it, the total population of ancient Greece was wrong. According to those data, the population of ancient Greece exceeded 10 million, or even reached 20 million to support such a large army. In the 20th century, Greece had a population of 10 million. The key is that by the 20th century, Greece still could not support its own population and had to rely on a large amount of imported food. While in ancient Greece's 10 million people... Under the productivity conditions at that time, many ancient Greeks could have taken energy to survive in the void.

Literature can be exaggerated, but once specific mathematics is involved, the truth is revealed.

Just like now, Pang Tong counts these Cao troops, it seems like they are busy crossing the river, but in fact, they have not crossed many people in a day!

And I don’t know if it was Pang Tong’s own illusion, he always felt that the Cao army soldiers who had evacuated in the past two days looked familiar...

look familiar?

Pang Tong's eyes moved.

"These Cao troops..." Pang Tong frowned and said, "It's not that he crossed the river during the day and went back tonight?"

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"Lingjun, what do you mean... Cao's army is taking a plan to reduce the stove?" Zhang Liao frowned and said, "But if this Cao army does not retreat from here, where will it go?"

Yes, that's the problem.

So where is most of the Cao army led by Cao Cao?

...

...

Cao Cao has always been very brave.

And the key is that Cao Cao is not willing to admit defeat.

Those who can achieve great things in history are basically brave and will not bow their heads easily when facing setbacks.

So even though Cao's army has been defeated, Xiahou Dun was arrested, Cao Hong was injured, and Anyi camp was defeated, Cao Cao still felt that he could rescue him for a while and persisted.

"Lord."

Some slow footsteps came.

Cao Cao didn't look back because he was very familiar with this voice, "Zi Lian, if his leg is injured, you should rest more."

Cao Hong was silent for a while, "I can't calm down."

Cao Cao was also silent.

They are like gamblers waiting for the opening, holding the few chips left in their hands, nervous, scared, but lucky.

『There is no movement in Tongguan yet?』

After a moment, Cao Cao asked.

『No.』 Cao Hong replied, 『Do they dare not come out?』

『Don't dare?" Cao Cao smiled, 『They are cautious... Well, it's fine if the cavalry is cautious, but I didn't expect these people...

In fact, Cao Cao left a lot of backup plans, but unfortunately, the caution of the General of the Cavalry made some of Cao Cao's strategies either fail or fail.

Just like the plague seeds arranged by Cao Cao along the way to Hedong, there was no harvest like Yuan Shao.

When people are not sick, they always look down on those subtle bacteria and viruses, but are more afraid of behemoths. Just like when various infectious diseases in later generations pass by, someone will immediately pull off his mask, as if he will lose his sweet breath for a moment.

Cao Cao's original plan was to cause the plague infection of the Cavalry Army, but unfortunately, Fei Qian had been arrested strictly from the beginning of the plague, or the hygiene problems in the army. Even some of his generals were called the bathing captain and the shit pit general at a certain period...

Fei sneaked slowly!

This simple word "slow" ruined Cao Cao's series of arrangements!

Because it is slow, I don’t hurry up.

Because I am not rushing, many things are done well, and I will not omit anything because of urgency.

On the other hand, Fei Qian beats quickly!

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Hong, with some regrets in his eyes.

Cao Hong thought he could hold Fei Qian, and Cao Cao also thought Cao Hong could hold him down.

In the city of Anyi, if you can't delay enough time, you won't consume much of the cavalry. After all, when fighting, you won't pay too much attention to the corpses on the battlefield...

But now, the cavalry did not attack urgently and slowed down again. When cleaning up the remains of Anyi, it was equivalent to the plague seeds planted by Cao Cao and Cao Hong in Hedong, which were basically removed.

"Are those gunpowders arranged in place?" Cao Cao asked.

Cao Hong nodded, "Most of them have been arranged...but some places are difficult to dig, and craftsmen are trying to seize the time..."

『Hu…』 Cao Cao exhaled, 『If you are still filial piety…』

Indeed, if Guo Jia was still there, these things would have been done long ago, and Cao Cao would not have to come to Zhongtiao Mountain. He could still deal with Fei Qiang Anyi for a few more days, so Cao Hong would not have fallen so quickly.

But, this is often the case in the world.

Eighty-nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory.

And what happened to Cao Cao next, is it a good thing or a bad thing?
