The Western Regions coalition army wanted to withdraw, and Cao Cao wanted to keep the number of the army, but Xiahou Xuan's department blocked the direction of the retreat of the Western Regions, while the fire in the other two directions kept burning.
Originally, Cao Cao planned to lure the people from the Western Regions to attack the city, in order to ambush them, but who knew that the people of the Western Regions were not stupid, and they pretended to attack the city, but they actually attacked Xiahoudun's department in turn.
Although the fire burned a lot of poisonous insects, it lost the opportunity, and Xiahoudun's department was directly stopped.
Directly outside the city is a meat grinding field, and the two soldiers fought fiercely, and the sound of killing shocked the world Compared with the Western Regions Alliance, Cao Cao's advantage is that he has excellent armaments and fierce generals Under the impact of Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Xiahoudun and other fierce generals, the fighting spirit of the people in the Western Regions is getting weaker and weaker.
"Give the order, remove the blockade, let them out" Therefore, Cao Cao ordered.
The herald of the "lord" was puzzled.
"Go to the Herald" "Yes" The flag waved, and Xiahoudun, who was fighting, couldn't help but be stunned.
"General Qiyu, the lord ordered our troops to disperse," the herald reported to Xiahou Xuanyu.
Xiahoudun killed the enemy, got bloody, looked at the battlefield around him, and his morale was very high, but the number of people became smaller and smaller.
"General Chuan Ben ordered the whole army to retreat" Xiahoudun shouted.
Cao Cao asked him to withdraw, he couldn't help but withdraw on the city wall, Cao Cao knew the current situation better than him.
As soon as Xiahoudun's troops retreated, the Western Regions coalition forces pressed forward, and the Central Plains retreated, so they could kill the range of the fire.
If they don't kill them, they will all be burned to death because they are surrounded by the next beach, and there are not many mediums to burn, otherwise according to Cao Cao's expectations, none of the 50,000 Western Regions coalition troops will want to escape.
Sand can extinguish fires, which Cao Cao did not expect in his plan, and it can be said that the failure of this plan is due to the lack of understanding of the environment.
"King Wusun, let your elite go out to fight and block the people of the Central Plains, we have to retreat" Queen Shache said.
"Why not your Shache warriors" King Wusun was not very happy, blocking the Central Plains people said lightly, and if you really do it, you will have to pay the price.
"If you want to fight to the death with the Central Plains people here, you don't have to go," Queen Shache said through gritted teeth.
Half of his Shache elite has already been knocked out, where is there still the strength to stop the Central Plains.
"Okay, for the sake of our alliance, the Wusun Kingdom will be sacrificed, and the order of the king will be passed on, and the warriors of the Wusun Kingdom will rush forward to block the retreat of the rest of the Central Plains" King Wusun ordered, and the elite of Wusun Kingdom immediately rushed out and strictly stopped in front of Xiahou Xuan's subordinates.
Xiahoudun, who did not receive follow-up orders, only lined up to defend himself and did not attack again.
The elite of Wusun Kingdom saw that the Central Plains people in front of them did not move, and they did not move, and they confronted each other very tacitly.
The other soldiers of the Western Regions Alliance, led by Queen Yache and King Wusun, quickly evacuated, leaving behind corpses "Lord, why did you order my department to retreat just now?"
The people from the Western Regions withdrew, and Xiahoudun returned to the city and immediately asked Cao Cao.
"Most of the dry firewood and fire oil planted in advance were covered by the people of the Western Regions with sand and stones, and the fire could not spread, so our army could only fight hard with them.
We are outsiders, and hard work is not the way to win. ” Cao Cao explained.
This time, it was indeed his carelessness, and it seemed that he still hadn't studied the environment of the Western Regions thoroughly.
"It's a pity, if we can wipe out most of the Western Regions Alliance, we can continue to move forward."
Xiahoudun said regretfully.
"The only way to do this is to wait for reinforcements to arrive."
Cao Cao said helplessly: "There is still no news of reinforcements from the scouts?"
"Not yet, I don't know where the reinforcements are, there is still surplus food in the city, and I can still hold on."
Xiahou said.
It is impossible to attack again, and this time the big war is a bit anticlimactic.
The Western Regions coalition forces were killed by them, and they themselves lost a large number of soldiers, and the losses of the two sides were not much different.
No one was able to take advantage.
Now Khotan still has reserves, and the army wants to guard here, and the people of the Western Regions have no way to take them.
And this is also the best choice for the army to conquer the west.
Now they have to preserve their strength and can't go out and be consumed by poisonous insects.
Due to the broken supply line of the Western Army, Zhang Xiong entered the Western Regions without knowing where Cao Cao was going.
In desperation, the White Tiger Legion could only divide into two routes and search along both sides of the desert.
Zhang Xiong led 15,000 men along the north side of the desert, and Huang Zhong led 10,000 men along the south side of the desert.
Although it is divided into two parts, the combat power of the White Tiger Legion is there, and they have brought enough supplies, basically nothing will happen.
It's just that the White Tiger Legion has a majority of foot soldiers, and its movement is very slow Mu Lu and Huang Zhong walked together on the southern route of the desert, and when they arrived at Jingjue, they found traces of the army passing through the west.
On the Gobi Desert, the soldiers of the White Tiger Legion found a new cemetery, and the tombstones in front of the grave were all written about the tomb of the XX of the Shuxi Expeditionary Army.
The scale of the cemetery is not large, here, the losses of the Western Expeditionary Army are not large, since the traces of the army have been found, Huang Zhong immediately sent people to chase Zhang Xiong.

Bypassing the desert north is not only a choice but also dangerous.
There was no need to take risks when the traces of the expeditionary army were found on the southern front, but the people sent out by Huang Zhong did not find Zhang Xiong.
In the Western Regions, there are often winds and sands, and once the wind and sand pass, all traces are covered up, and there is no way to find them.
Unable to recover Zhang Xiong's subordinates, Huang Zhong had to continue to move forward with 10,000 horses to find the army to conquer the west.
The southern line was basically swept by Cao Cao's army to conquer the west, and the people of the Western Regions here were all trembling with fear when they saw the Shu army.
Asked the local people from the Western Regions to inquire, Huang Zhong learned that the army of the expedition to the west had passed through here for some time, and wherever the army of the expedition to the west went, the chickens and dogs were restless, and the essence was wiped out.
Cao Cao's approach, Huang Zhong is not easy to comment, but the Shu army is killing too heavily in the Western Regions, which is not a good thing after all.
Thinking of his mission, Huang Zhong led his troops to continue to move forward, inquiring for news along the way About half a month later, Huang Zhong's department was resting in a shady place, when suddenly a team of camel soldiers rushed here.
"Crossbowmen ready, foot soldiers line up to meet the enemy" Huang Zhong immediately ordered, and the soldiers quickly formed a battle formation "Don't let go of the arrows, we are the Western Expeditionary Army" "Don't let go of the arrows, your own people" Huang Zhong's hand hovered in mid-air, and when he heard the person on the other side shouting like this, he didn't give the order to attack.
More than a dozen camel soldiers rushed to the front of the large formation, rolled over, and rolled down.
Seeing that the general flag in front of him was Huang Zhong, dozens of soldiers were overjoyed, and their chapped lips were full of blood because of their smiles.
"General Huang, go to Khotan, the Western Regions Coalition Army is attacking the city, quickly rescue General Zhengxi, and save the brothers."
A soldier shouted excitedly.
"Give them some water" Huang Zhong looked at a dozen soldiers with smoke in their throats and ordered.
After drinking the water, these soldiers spoke a lot more clearly, and Huang Zhong learned from them that the front was Khotan, and the Western Regions coalition army of 50,000 was storming the city of Khotan
