Night fell silently.

The fierce battle under the city of Xiangyang has also come to an end, the pastoral army did not choose the night battle, the night battle attack is a surprise attack, if the raid effect is lost, then the field battle will inevitably be more terrifying by the casualties of the fierce battle during the day.

Although the herdsmen are strong, they cannot afford to spend it.

Therefore, in the evening, the troops were already withdrawn, and the troops returned to the camp with their troops.

And the Jingzhou army in the city also ushered in a respite.

The attack of the pastoral army brought a huge pressure on the Jingzhou army, even if the pastoral army could not attack the city for two whole days, but the ferocity they showed was enough to make the Jingzhou army cowardly.

The battle to defend the city, ten and encircle one, is the truth.

The walls were built for a strong defense.

Just like a city wall like Xiangyang, if you want to have a palace outside, you have at least three times as many troops before you dare to attack.

But in this battle, the strength of the pastoral army was less than that in the city, but the pastoral army not only attacked brazenly, but also stormed, and the momentum has been pressing the Jingzhou soldiers in the city, which is unimaginable for both the offensive and defensive sides.

This is also enough to show how powerful the herdsman army that dominates the world is, whether it is individual strength or battle array coordination, it far surpasses the performance of the Jingzhou army.

"Will they attack the city tomorrow?"

"I guess so!"

"Today's fight is so ferocious, when I heard them singing gold, those herdsmen and thieves were still unwilling to retreat, and they will definitely continue to attack us tomorrow!"

"We can't stand it if we continue to fight like this!"

"Today, we are a soldier, one-third of the casualties, obviously defending the city, the casualties are still above them, how can we defend it!"

“……”

Above the west city gate, the Jingzhou army was very spiritual about the defense outside the city, even if they did not attack outside the city, they did not dare to retreat, and one by one the soldiers rested on the spot in the corridor of the city, and talked in twos and threes.

"The morale of our army is very low!"

Liu Biao and Wen Ping walked past with their personal guards, and after listening to a few words, Liu Biao's face was a little gloomy.

"When they face the herdsmen, the pressure is too great!"

Wen Ping said softly: "Lord, it's not that I'm humble, our fighting spirit is not as good as the pastoral army, as long as there are casualties, the soldiers will have grievances, and the accumulation of grievances will affect the morale of the army, I don't know how big the problem is in this area of the pastoral army, our Jingzhou soldiers are comfortable after all, lack of experience on the battlefield, in terms of morale, we have been suppressed by the pastoral army!" ”

"The world's strongest pawn is worthy of his name!" Liu Biao looked outside the city and sighed slightly.

"Fortunately, the shepherd's strength is not strong, if the herdsman's strength is stronger, we may really not be able to hold it!"

Wen Ping also sighed a little.

The fight was not so tenacious and tragic before, but now in a fight, the distance between the two sides is completely shown.

"When I heard about the disarmament of Hanzhong, I was still happy!" Liu Biao is a very introspective person, he can see his own shortcomings from others, this is one of his advantages, when the world is heroic, or uninhibited, there will be rebelliousness, but they are not fools, they all have their strengths.

Liu Biao said softly: "Now it seems that we are too underestimated to see the Mulong diagram, this fang disarmament, not only can liberate some young and strong labor, bring harvest to Hanzhong, but also take the strategy of elite soldiers, a great young man, I heard that the pastoral army needs to practice every day, no wonder there is such an elite!" ”

Generally, most of the soldiers are trained every ten days, and the rest of the time is mainly engaged in farming, so as to ensure productivity.

Those who practice every five days can already be regarded as elite.

Training every day is so great that even Jingzhou can't afford it.

"My lord, they are like this, which is equivalent to disarmament, but there is no reduction in military consumption, that is, they are using the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to train tens of thousands of elites, what a waste!"

Wen Ping said.

"You're right!"

Liu Biao nodded: "This may not be a good road, their road in Hanzhong, we may not be able to go through Jingzhou, in the future, we will train our troops, and we will have to use our own methods as the benchmark!" ”

"Lord, Longzhong is in an emergency!"

A Jingzhou scout rushed up, knelt on one knee, arched his hands, and delivered an urgent report.

"Longzhong?"

Liu Biao's mind had a flash of inspiration: "It should be Huang Zu's urgent report, could it be that they have already begun to attack Longzhong!" ”

Under the offensive and defensive battle of Xiangyang, the north road and the west road are not connected, and if you want to contact Longzhong, you need to go out from the south city, and then detour to the north, so the time for the message to be transmitted back and forth needs to be delayed a little.

He knew the news of Huang Zu's troops, and he didn't think that Huang Zu now had the ability to disobey his military orders.

He opened it to see, his pupils changed slightly, his expression became grim, and on his face, a suppressed joy gradually emerged, but there was a trace of disbelief in this joy.

"Go back to the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, pass on my military order, within half an hour, Jingzhou civil and military, gather immediately, there is something important to discuss!"

"No!"

……

State Pastoral Office.

Liu Biao showed Kuai Liang the secret music in his hand, and then asked, "Do you think you can believe it?" ”

There is only one news above, Longzhong has been broken, Huang Hansheng carried the coffin and buried the river!

"Such a big event, Huang Taishou didn't dare to lie!"

Kuai Liang said softly.

"Then Mu Long Tu really died in battle?" Liu Biao felt relieved.

"I don't know!"

Kuai Liang shook his head: "I can't see through it, Mu Jing is dead, since Longzhong Mountain has been broken by Huang Taishou, then what are they still doing here, they should withdraw ......"

Kuai Liang's words suddenly woke up Wen Ping.

He stood up suddenly: "It's not good, the shepherd wants money to get out of his shell!" ”

"What?"

Deng Long also stood up.

The two of them didn't say anything, and walked outside together.

"What do you mean?" Liu Biao didn't understand.

"They think that the camp outside the city may be empty now!" Kuai Liang analyzed: "At this time, the herdsman army has already taken advantage of our relaxation and withdrawn from Xiangyang City!" ”

"Advance is retreat!"

Liu Biao finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

An hour later, Wen Ping sent his personal guards back to the state pastoral mansion to see the defeat: "My lord, the general personally led the cavalry out of the city to investigate, the herdsman's camp outside the city was empty, and the herdsmen had already withdrawn after nightfall!" ”

"It seems that Mu Longtu really died in Jingzhou, and these herdsmen want to run?"

Liu Biao sneered.

"Lord, the general is waiting for your military order, should we chase or not?"

"To chase, or not to chase?"

Liu Biao fell into deep thought, he seemed to be a man and a man.

He suffered too much, so he was a little angry, afraid of some trap.

But there is a great opportunity, and he doesn't want to let go of an opportunity to annihilate the herdsmen, being besieged for many days, it is already a shame for Jingzhou, if these soldiers can't be wiped out in Jingzhou, Jingzhou will be able to raise its head in the world in the future.

"Lord, after the Mu Long Tu killed Yan Mountain, but it can remain the same, someone must be secretly presiding, their strategic deployment of advancing and retreating has almost deceived us, and they are planning to withdraw their troops tonight, and the soldiers in our city have been attacked by them for two days, and they are exhausted, even if the offensive outside the city is suspended, there will be no doubt that they will withdraw their troops, as long as they are given two days, they will be able to withdraw from Jingzhou smoothly, but they didn't expect that Longzhong would be broken by Huang Taishou, so it was only one step too late!"

Kuai Liang stood up, bowed his hand, and then analyzed: "Now they have only been gone for less than five hours, so if they want to pursue, there is still a chance now, they will definitely not be able to go far!" ”

"Chase!"

After all, Liu Biao couldn't let go of the shame of being besieged, and he shouted: "Pass my order, not a single shepherd is allowed to leave Jingzhou!" ”

"Yes!"

A few heralds quickly went to give the order.

The Jingzhou army went out of the city in pursuit.

After dawn, Jingping's first army had just withdrawn to Thornwater, and was chased by Deng Long's department, and in an encounter, Jingping's first army was wounded and fled, and fled in a hurry, and withdrew in the direction of Xinye.

The Violent Bear Army was much more dangerous, they withdrew relatively slowly, and it took four or five hours to withdraw to Deng County, and they were surrounded by Wen Ping and Huang Zu before and after, and under the breakthrough, they led the remnants of the army and headed towards Fancheng.

When the news was sent back to Xiangyang, Liu Biao was overjoyed.

This battle, in the eyes of the Jingzhou Prefecture Governor's Government, has come to a complete end.

They won.

And the herdsman's army, after the defeat of the Mulongtu army and the death of Yanshan, the dragons were leaderless, and they were not able to withdraw from Jingzhou as they wished, and were chased and beaten by the Jingzhou army, and the army was defeated like a mountain.
