Seeing that the counselors were about to argue again, Liu Ke finally stopped it.
"What you all said makes sense. But after fighting for so long, the soldiers are indeed tired.
Although I wanted to take Xinye, I couldn't bear to see the soldiers starving and exhausted.
It is better to follow Wen He¡¯s advice and first notify the soldiers on the front line to retreat.
As for Xinye City, hum! I will definitely capture it tomorrow! "
Liu Ke¡¯s words were both caring and domineering.
After the counselors heard this, no one dared to continue to refute.
So, under Liu Ke's instructions, he began to withdraw his troops with gold.
When the soldiers fighting on the front line heard the sound, although they were a little surprised, they still began to retreat slowly.
After all, they were already tired from the physical exertion of fighting for such a long time.
Seeing that the enemy troops began to retreat, the Jingzhou soldiers who were confronting them on the ruins finally breathed a sigh of relief and were glad that the enemy had finally left.
However, there was one person whose expression became more solemn.
This person is Zu Mao. He knows that as soon as the enemy troops withdraw, his mission will finally begin.
Zu Mao originally had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters. After several rounds of fighting, there were only 5,000 left, which just met Zhou Yu's requirements.
So, he suddenly raised his arms and led his troops to charge out.
Dian Wei's soldiers and horses had just left Xinye, when they suddenly heard a sound coming from behind.
He looked back and became furious instantly.
"Hmph! His Majesty ordered the withdrawal of troops, and he let you go! I didn't expect you people to be ignorant and dare to come out to pursue you?"
So, Dian Wei immediately led his troops to turn back and fight against the Jingzhou soldiers who rushed out.
When Zu Mao led his men to rush out, Liu Ke, who was supervising the battle outside the city, immediately noticed it, and his brows instantly furrowed.
Because speaking of it, after such a long period of fighting, not only are our own soldiers and horses exhausted, but the other party is probably even worse.
But the other party unexpectedly pursued him out of the city. This was all too abnormal.
He quickly ordered all the soldiers and horses to stop temporarily and be careful.
At this moment, Zu Mao, who rushed out of the city, finally collided with Dian Wei's army, and the two sides immediately fell into a more brutal fight.
And when Zu Mao rushed out, several other generals finally started to take action.
First of all, Huang Gai, following Zhou Yu's arrangement, led his troops and was the first to rush out from the east city gate.
This time, Liu Ke finally couldn¡¯t sit still.
He had already thought about it just now, but he didn't expect that he had guessed it right.
The enemy actually wanted to take advantage of this moment to break out.
Fortunately, Liu Ke responded quickly and not all of the army had returned yet.
He immediately ordered General Tai Shici to lead 30,000 troops to pursue him.
Seeing this, Zu Mao quickly left Dian Wei to stop the opponent.
However, his troops were originally few, and some of them had not yet been withdrawn.
The blocking force thus formed was negligible, so Taishi Ci didn't waste much effort in breaking it up and chased him straight in the direction where Huang Gai escaped.
Unexpectedly, not long after Taishi Ci chased him out, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out from the west gate of Xinye City.
Under the leadership of Cheng Pu, those people didn't care about Liu Ke's army outside and headed straight to the west.
Liu Ke then reacted and ordered another general, Zhao Yun, to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to pursue him.
But after Zhao Yun chased him out, another group of soldiers and horses rushed out from the farthest north gate and ran straight to the north.
Liu Ke had no choice but to arrange for another general to lead his troops to chase him.
Although there were not many enemy troops rushing out each time, Liu Ke still sent 30,000 troops to each pursuit unit.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and the enemy¡¯s strategy is to split up and escape, just to force themselves to split up their troops.
But since Liu wanted to capture Sun Ce alive, he would naturally use all his strength to attack every fleeing army.
What if it¡¯s a team that you don¡¯t pay attention to?
Seeing that the three soldiers and horses were all escaping from the three city gates, they also attracted many of Liu Ke's soldiers and horses.
Zu Mao¡¯s mission has finally come to an end.
So he shouted loudly, left Dian Wei behind and ran away.
Being entangled by Zu Mao for a long time caused him to lose the ability to pursue the fleeing army.Chance.
How could Dian Wei let him leave like this so easily? He immediately led his troops to chase him away.
As a result, Liu Ke's original army of more than 100,000 soldiers was reduced to only 10,000 soldiers and horses after constant division of troops.
He took the remaining people and began to take action, slowly marching towards Xinye.
Unexpectedly, before Liu Ke got close to Xinye, another group of people rushed out from the north of the city.
Seeing this, Liu had no choice but to lead the remaining troops and chase him out.
In this way, Liu Ke's army was divided into four parts by Zhou Yu's division of troops, and they pursued each other in different directions.
And Zhou Yu had already mixed with one of the soldiers and horses together with Sun Ce and left Xinye.
Xinye City, which was originally facing a confrontation with nearly 200,000 troops, was instantly empty of people.
Under the shining of the setting sun, it reveals the indescribable desolation.
After this fire and the subsequent fighting, all the original facilities in Xinye City were completely destroyed.
????????????????? If we want to repopulate the house, I don¡¯t know how long it will take to recover.
The four soldiers who escaped separately did not know the mission of the others, so they could only move towards their own goals.
And before that, Zhou Yu had repeatedly warned that this retreat was related to the fate of King Sun Ce and even the entire Jingzhou.
Therefore, several generals did not dare to slack off.
On the one hand, they are rushing towards the target desperately, and on the other hand, they are constantly delaying the enemy troops who are pursuing behind them.
The two sides were chasing each other. Although the scale of the battle could not match that of the day, it was no less brutal.
Among them, the war on Zu Mao's side is the most serious.
After all, he originally had few soldiers and horses, and the fight with Dian Wei just now caused many casualties.
At this moment, with Dian Wei chasing after him, he finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Zu Mao suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "The enemy is in hot pursuit, and we must teach them a lesson.
Leave five hundred people to ambush here with me, and the others should continue to withdraw! "
Finally, five hundred people volunteered, gathered next to Zu Mao, and ambush him here.
Dian Wei continued to chase. He was angered by Zu Mao and swore in his heart that even if he couldn't take down Sun Ce, he would still catch him!
Therefore, Dian Wei didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation at all, and rushed directly into Zu Mao's encirclement.
Zu Mao immediately launched his attack and killed Dian Wei from the side, catching Dian Wei off guard.
However, the results he could achieve only ended here.
Because Zu Mao's strength is not as good as Dian Wei's, and he has fewer soldiers and horses, he is no match for Dian Wei.
Within thirty rounds of fighting, Zu Mao's men and horses were all killed, and even he himself was beaten back by Dian Wei. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
