Facing the two spears thrusting towards him, Dian Wei disregarded the sharp gust of wind from the spears and tightly grasped the shafts with his extremely sturdy gauntlets. The gust left two white marks on his gauntlets, but did not penetrate them.
"What!"
"What!"
Dian Wei directly grabbed the long spear shafts of the two generals, using the spears to throw them off their horses. Afterward, Dian Wei reversed the direction of the two spears without even looking at the fallen generals. He thrust the spears downward, piercing them through the chest, regardless of whether they were dead or alive. Then, he pulled out the spears and hurled them towards the chief general of the Xuzhou Army, who was less than two hundred steps away.
Swish! Swish!
两杆长枪在空气中发出破空声，一前一后袭向了徐州军主将。
那名徐州军主将手中长剑格开了第一支长枪，虎口迸裂，鲜血染红了手掌和剑柄，第二支长枪紧接而至。长枪上传来的巨力穿过徐州军主将的胸口，巨力带着他向后倒飞而去，直接被钉死在了地上。
"Enemy commander! Surrender!"
The sound of a tiger's roar echoed through the heavens and earth, spreading across the entire battlefield!
Immediately, the scattered Xu Province army, having lost their commander, fled in all directions. Those who had family in Xuping City or loyal officers all escaped towards Xuping City, while the majority were soldiers drafted by Tao Qian from various counties. Combined with the weakened morale of Xu Province's troops, they would never return to Xuping City.
Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong were about to lead the troops in pursuit, but they were stopped by the hurried arrival of Xi Zhi.
"Advisor Xi, why won't you let the two of us chase after them?"
Xi Zhi had a good relationship with the two men, so he directly criticized them, saying, "The two of you, though brave, should study more military strategy. Especially you, Zilian. With Gongda's assistance, you gained fame with your victory at Mushi, so how can you still have such shortsightedness?"
Cao Hong secretly underestimated, saying, "For sure our elder brother scolded him and took it out on the two of us."
Xiahou Dun nodded and looked at Xi Zhicai, taking a step back to avoid being the target of his anger. I understand that you want the Chinese text translated into English while keeping all the @ matches intact.
"What are they whispering about?"
"Nothing, nothing!"
"We dare not say anything!"
However, although the two of them quietly complained about Xizhi Cai, they actually didn't take it to heart. The three of them had a good relationship to begin with. If they really did something wrong, they would scold them. They would still have to thank Xizhi Cai. If they scolded wrongly, they would first beat the crap out of him and then make him treat them to drinks!
"Just think about it, what is our army's objective?"
"To launch a water attack."
"What is the biggest concern after flooding Xunzhou's city?"
Without waiting for the two to answer, Xi Zhicai explained, "Once the dam breaks, Xunzhou's city defenses become a major problem for them, and the people in Xunzhou will become unsettled. These enemy troops, who we have already shaken their morale, are useless in large numbers and will only cause trouble for their own army on the battlefield." Translated: "Just think about it, what is our army's objective?" "To launch a water attack." "What is the biggest concern after flooding Xunzhou's city?" Without waiting for the two to answer, Xi Zhicai explained, "Once the dam breaks, Xunzhou's city defenses become a major problem for them, and the people in Xunzhou will become unsettled. These enemy troops, who we have already shaken their morale, are useless in large numbers and will only cause trouble for their own army on the battlefield."
The most crucial point is food! If Xiahui City is under water attack, the granaries will inevitably be flooded, resulting in the spoilage of food. One of the key elements of a city defense battle is food, and what we are sending back are the demoralized deserters who dare not fight, they will only increase the food consumption in Xiahui City.
Xiahou Dun had some doubts, "Strategist, if it were me, I wouldn't distribute food to these demoralized soldiers. How would you respond?" "If you're human, you have to eat. If you dare not distribute food to them, I can easily manipulate the Mingjing Guards to provoke those resentful soldiers. You should know that when hungry, some people can even abandon their loved ones for a single meal, let alone resort to cannibalism. So, how could they not rebel and resist for the sake of food?"
Xiahou Dun couldn't help but shudder at the thought. These advisors are really terrifying. Fortunately, Xiahou Yuan is on their side, and Cao Cao's army has always excelled in the aspect of strategy, so these generals never need to worry about political infighting. Now, just thinking about it is truly frightening.

In terms of the Xu Zhou military, this major defeat has caused them heavy losses. They started out with a force of 60,000 soldiers, but now only a little over 30,000 have managed to retreat back into the city. The casualties and desertion rate amounts to a shocking 50%. Moreover, this failed offensive will surely serve as a lesson for the Cao army, and they will increase their defenses. They will not give us a second chance. Tao Qian can be certain that if he dares to let the Xu Zhou army attack again, the Cao army will definitely annihilate our forces.
"Alas, the situation is lost." Looking at the empty Governor's Mansion Council Chamber, it feels as if everyone has distanced themselves from him. He knew that there were many people in the city who had colluded with the Cao army, but what could he do? Kill them all? Then, there would be no need to wait for the Cao army to breach the dyke; those people could resist him together, and then open the city gates to allow the Cao army in. The reason they haven't made a move yet could be due to the unfavorable opportunity, or perhaps the Cao army doesn't need them to take action in order to conquer the city. There is also the possibility that they do not want to bear the stigma of being traitors. In other words, it's like becoming a female taboosi but still having to hold up the banner of chastity.
Thinking of this, Tao Qian seemed to age several years in an instant, sitting slumped in the seat of the ruler of Xuzhou. He didn't even know how much longer he could hold onto this position.
No, he would never surrender. At the very least, Xuzhou City wouldn't fall because of those traitors opening the gates! Tao Qian was determined to fight until the very last moment!

In the second month of the second year of Jian'an, the weather turned gloomy.
Throughout the night, a cold wind howled, and the temperature dropped sharply. By noon, large flakes of snow were falling, and the snowfall grew increasingly heavy, reaching its peak in the afternoon.
The furious wind whirled snowflakes in the air, obstructing people's vision. Due to such adverse weather, it was impossible to launch an attack on Xiapi. Therefore, Cao Cao ordered a temporary ceasefire for one day. After the heavy snow stopped, they would resume the attack. He also commanded all troops to retreat ten miles. Please note that the "
As night fell, Cao Cao's army finally completed the task of moving their camp, which was now relocated to the top of the mountain. The next step was naturally to release the water.
Guo Jia stood at a high place, looking at the embankment. In his heart, a trace of reluctance flashed by. Once the floodwaters surged, he couldn't help but wonder how many fields and households would be submerged. Although the civilians near Xupu City had been relocated by the Cao army before breaching the dam, the farmlands remained, and the people inside the city would still suffer as a result.
Maybe he is just a hypocrite, claiming to want to save the people while actually slaughtering them. He also enjoys condemning those who harm the people, but he knows what he wants to do and doesn't care about how others perceive him!
To kill one person and save ten; to kill ten and save a hundred; to kill a hundred and save a thousand; to kill a thousand and save the nation; to gain the world and end the slaughter.
For the rise of the entire Chinese land, Guo Fengxiao is willing to bear all infamy.
