On the way back, Xu Chu shouted excitedly: "Cao Jun is nothing more than that, let's go out of the city early to fight, maybe they have already lost."

After saying a few words, he found that the faces of the people around him were gloomy and they didn't say a word.His lips moved and he sighed.

After Yuan Xi entered the city, he ordered the generals to speed up the restoration of the city and the gates, and at the same time asked people to count the casualties.

The number of casualties was reported soon.

After Yuan Xi finished reading, he threw the bamboo slips aside and lay down on the ground beside him, staring blankly at the sky.He originally had nearly [-] troops, plus Yuan Tan's [-], but now there are less than [-] capable fighters. In other words, facing the crazy Cao army, he lost nearly [-] Youzhou soldiers.

He suddenly had an idea that he didn't know whether he was right or wrong. There were countless wounded soldiers among the [-] troops. How many.

Not counting the countless people here, there are countless people who participated in the battle in the upper city. In this battle alone, more than 5000 people died.

"Lord"

"Ah?" Yuan Xi wiped the corners of his eyes, and quickly sat up, not knowing when Guo Jia came to his side.

Guo Jia looked at him with a complicated expression, and said in a low voice, "My lord, are you grieving for the dead soldiers?"

Yuan Xi frowned, but did not speak.

Guo Jia sighed: "My lord, now is not the time to think about anything else. The Cao army's attack has been resisted this time. It is probably because General Wen Chou gave up his life to leave the city. Otherwise, I am afraid that it has fallen now."

Yuan Xi nodded, "What should we do now?"

Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "I can't retreat! This time Cao Cao launched such an onslaught, but he didn't defeat us. It means that he is about to die. If we choose to retreat at this time, it will be a disguised form of helping Cao Jun .”

Yuan Xi reluctantly said: "I never thought about retreating. Hey, we have used all our backhands. Now Cao Jun can easily charge up the city wall. If the fight continues like this, it will be a one-on-one exchange. Nearly Most of the [-] Youzhou soldiers died in this way, even if we win, what will happen next?"

Guo Jia murmured, "Actually, my lord, you don't have to be so pessimistic. If Cao Jun didn't fail this time in strategy, I'm afraid we are doomed."

"How to say?" Yuan Xi couldn't think of any failure in Cao Cao's strategy.

Guo Jia analyzed: "If Cao Jun doesn't attack Dai County and Liaoxi County, and 50 troops are stationed in our Fanyang County, what do you think our situation will be like, my lord?"

"I will dispatch soldiers from Dai County and Liaoxi County to support."

Guo Jia said softly: "That's right. My lord, I forgot that Cao Jun dispatched nearly 60 troops. When we mobilized most of the troops from the two counties and resisted Cao Jun's frontal attack desperately, Cao Cao sent troops. Then go to attack Dai County or Liaoxi County, my lord, think about it, is it possible that some of the two counties have already fallen in this way?"

Yuan Xi took a deep breath, this was also a strategy to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and to concentrate superior forces and attack frontally, whether Fan Yang County could hold it was still a matter of opinion.

This battle allowed Yuan Xi to fully appreciate Hao Zhao's ability to defend the city, but he also saw that compared with offense and defense, defense can only be a passive side.One mistake, there is a possibility of falling.

Can it be broken?That depends on how determined you are.

Before the war, everyone was full of confidence, but now?

Yuan Xi could only feel Cao Cao's cruelty.

"Cao Cao's strategic failure is more likely to be that he was too confident in himself, and underestimated the lord, and underestimated our soldiers and civilians in Youzhou. My lord, in such an atmosphere, it is really rare for us to be able to do this."

Yuan Xi got up, and said in a low voice, "Don't be too difficult, no matter what, we are going to wipe out the old man soon. We don't know how Cao Cao will attack next time. Can we really repel Cao Jun and defend Fanyang County? Let’s say it’s rare.”

Guo Jia nodded, "The sacrifice of nearly [-] soldiers and civilians in Youzhou is due to my trust in the lord. What the lord has to do now is to regain confidence, not to be sentimental."

Chapter 596 Cai Yan Arrives

"Thank you." Yuan Xi held his arm tightly and said a thousand words, Guo Jia just came to let him not feel guilty.regain confidence.

Yuan Xi admitted that Guo Jia's words had a great effect on him.

After Guo Jia left, Yuan Xi was about to ascend the city, when out of the corner of his eye he saw a soldier running towards him in a hurry.Immediately stopped.

The soldier ran up to Yuan Xi and said urgently: "My lord, if General Wang doesn't receive treatment, he's almost dying."

Yuan Xi was dizzy for a while, and took two steps back. Finally, he stabilized his figure, stepped forward and grabbed the soldier's skirt, and shouted: "Quickly, where is Wang Yi?"

The soldier had difficulty breathing, and said with difficulty: "I, I will take the lord there."

Yuan Xi quickly let go of him, and the soldier panted heavily, not daring to stop, and quickly trotted ahead.

Yuan Xi followed to a house not far away, and as soon as he entered, he saw Wang Yi's eyes widening, his face pale, staring at the people in the room.

"My lord... my lord," Wang Yi relaxed and closed his eyes.

"Wang Yi!" Yuan Xi yelled and rushed forward.

Looking at the arrow in front of Wang Yi's chest, Yuan Xi suddenly got up and shouted at the military doctor: "What's going on, why didn't you treat it?"

The military doctor hurriedly explained.

Yuan Xi was slightly startled, and then said, "What should we do now to save him?"

The military doctor stepped forward to take a look, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's impossible to save him. I just took some hemostatic drugs before, and missed the best time to save him."

"Cao Nima, get out." Yuan Xi roared, and then said: "Keep the hemostatic medicine."

The military doctor didn't dare to say anything more, put down the medicine bag, and left in a hurry.

"Get out too, all of you get out of here."

The rest of the soldiers also hurried out.

Yuan Xi asked his own soldiers to keep him at a distance, and no one was allowed to come over. Then he took a piece of white gauze and applied the medicine powder.

Returning to Wang Yi's side, Yuan Xi pulled out the dagger from his body. The dagger cut the iron like mud, and the leather armor on Wang Yi's body was cut off in a short time.

Yuan Xi didn't go to see if Wang Yi was dead, he didn't dare to look, he only wanted to treat Wang Yi's illness.

Not long after, Wang Yi only had a bellyband left on his body.

Yuan Xi took a deep breath, removed his bellyband, and looked at the arrow wound, feeling a pain in his flesh.

Without hesitation, he took another deep breath, gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow.

Wang Yi let out a "huh", opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Yuan Xi in a daze, and then closed them slowly.

Yuan Xi quickly cleaned up the blood on her wound, and then pressed the white cloth against her chest, wrapping it around several times to cover her wound.

After finishing all this, Yuan Xi closed the door, then found a new quilt from the room, and covered Wang Yi's body.

He knew that this would definitely not work, and he still had to see a military doctor next. After thinking about it, he rummaged through the cabinet, found some sets of clothes, put them on Wang Yi carefully, and then opened the door.

"Ah," a figure rushed in.

Yuan Xi was furious in his heart. He stared and found that it was a little girl who seemed to be lying on the door just now.

Snorting, Yuan Xi pointed at Wang Yi and said, "Alright, take care of her."
