Chapter 384 – Battle of Xiapi - Part 4
The combat between Xiahou Yuan Army and Cao Cao Army were bloody. Within an hour, half of Xiahou Yuan was slain while Cao Cao's loss was minimal.
Guo Tu and Shen Pei could not find a chance to order his men to shoot a single arrow. As Xiahou Yuan marched out to fight Cao Cao on the open field, they were out of their archers' range.
After Xiahou Yuan lost half of his soldiers as they had planned, he ordered his men to withdraw to the city. Cao Cao also called his men to stop fighting and fall back, reorganizing his men.
Xu Chu retreated to the gate first with his bodyguards. He shouted to the gatekeepers, "Let us in! We're not in the condition to fight!"
Shen Pei yelled back, "Gate will not be opened! Stay in line and defend the wall!"
"BASTARD!!"
"This is our lord's direct order! We will not open the gate until the battle is over!"
"SON OF A BITCH!!"
