Although Huang Gai is not afraid of Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, the current situation is greatly unfavorable to Sun Jianjun, and this kind of hopeless battle makes Huang Gai inevitably have some retreat.

He didn't want to let Sun Jian lead his people to die here in vain.

The stones under the city shook more and more, Sun Jian looked at the large crowd under the city, and looked at the soldiers who had been killed and injured on the city tower, and even Sun Jian, who was firm at the beginning, couldn't help but be a little shaken at this time.

Whether this small Shaoyang City can still hold on, Han Dang went to ask for help, and whether he could bring reinforcements as promised.

"Lord, no, this city can't be defended, let's retreat, otherwise, we won't retreat here, we are not the opponents of Liu Zheng's people."

At this time, Cheng Pu also walked over briskly from the side, and after approaching Sun Jian, he immediately said a word to Sun Jian.

When Sun Jian heard this, he immediately looked displeased, and immediately retorted.

"Retreat? If we retreat like this, wouldn't it be in vain to waste such a good opportunity, let's hold on a little longer, and when Cai Mao's reinforcements arrive, we will definitely defeat Liu Zheng's men. ”

"But my lord, have you ever thought that if Cai Mao's reinforcements don't arrive in time, we ......?"

Although Cheng Pu didn't want to refute Sun Jian, but now at this critical juncture, he didn't care about saying so, and immediately said a word to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian wanted to defeat Liu Zheng too much, and he was frustrated in Liu Zheng's hands one after another, so that Sun Jian had an obsession with Liu Zheng, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to regain his lost self-confidence in Liu Zheng, and now he has the opportunity to seize it.

But he forgot that if Cai Mao's reinforcements did not arrive in time, he would not be able to stop the attack of Liu Zheng's tens of thousands of troops with only 10,000 horses.

In the streets and alleys of close combat, Liu Zheng's men and horses, the advantage will be more obvious, and the final tragic death must be on Sun Jian's side.

When Cheng Pu said this, Sun Jian's eyes shook violently, as if he realized something, and immediately understood.

"You're right, if that bastard Cai Mao doesn't send someone over to support us, then everything will really be over for us, retreat, retreat, retreat temporarily, the city is gone, we can fight again, but if our men and horses are gone, then everything is over."

After Sun Jian figured it out, he waved his hand fiercely and immediately ordered his men and horses to retreat.

At the sound of an order, the soldiers of Sun Jian's army on the city tower immediately took action, and gradually began to withdraw from the city tower, and converged towards the only city gate where there were no enemy troops among the several city gates.

Sun Jian wanted to go to other city gates, but now, time is pressing, and the other city gates are more or less guarded by some enemy troops, and those city gates, once Sun Jian chooses to break through, it will definitely consume some time.

And in this way, it is bound to be caught up by Liu Zheng.

At that time, it will still be inevitable to have a bloody battle, only the city gate leading to Changsha County, without any enemy troops, although Sun Jian also feels that there may be fraud in this, but the soldiers are dangerous, and Sun Jian has no other choice now.

Rather than being flanked by Liu Zheng's army at other city gates, it is better to choose a city gate without any enemy guards, and perhaps there is still a glimmer of life.

In this way, in order to leave Shaoyang City as soon as possible and leave before Liu Zheng's army entered the city, Sun Jian led his men and horses and soon gathered outside the city.

Liu Zheng is still working hard to attack the city, but on the city tower, the number of those Sun Jian's troops is gradually decreasing, and after there are few counterattacks, Liu Zheng has already guessed that Sun Jian's men and horses should have been withdrawn from the city tower.

This result was naturally expected by Liu Zheng, his 40,000 soldiers and horses attacked the city with all his might, not to mention a small city like Shaoyang, even the Tiger Prison Pass, this kind of Xiongguan may not be able to stop it.

Once Liu Zheng's men and horses are about to break the city gate, Sun Jian in the city will definitely flee if he sees no hope.

And the reserved city gate was deliberately let out by Liu Zheng.

The purpose is to let Sun Jian go here and flee to Changsha County.

The other two city gates, one went to the direction of Nanjun, this is the direction of Cai Mao, Liu Zheng prevented 3,000 men and horses from garrisoning, if Sun Jian wants to break through, he must need to spend a lot of manpower and feet.

Another city gate, leading to Guiyang County, Liu Zheng put 2,000 Guo Shi's soldiers and horses to garrison. Here Liu Zheng knew that it was unlikely to be the path chosen by Sun Jian.

Guiyang County and Cangwu County are adjacent to each other, once Sun Jian flees to Guiyang, he will lose contact with Changsha and be cut off by Liu Zheng in Guiyang County.

Only Changsha County was what Liu Zheng could think of from the beginning, and it must be the best place for Sun Jian to escape, so he deliberately set aside a road without any soldiers and horses stationed for Sun Jian to choose.

It seems that this road is not guarded by any soldiers and horses, but it is the most dangerous one.

The official road from Shaoyang to Changsha County is a flat river, with few hills, and although the road is curved, it can be suitable for war horses.

Once Sun Jian's soldiers and horses left the city, Liu Zheng's 2,000 cavalry could exert his strength at this time.

Rushing all the way through, as long as there was a slight delay, Liu Zheng could quickly catch up with most of the people who had entered Shaoyang City.

Even if the time drags on for a long time, Liu Zheng's 2,000 cavalry will definitely not fall behind against Sun Jian's men and horses, and it is still possible to inflict a heavy blow on Sun Jian's army.

"Are you finally going to escape, I thought you'd hold out a little longer."

Liu Zheng looked at Sun Jian's figure, which had disappeared from the city tower, and knew that Sun Jian's troops in the city were planning to evacuate.

Immediately, Liu Zheng beckoned and asked the soldiers around him to find Xu Huang.

Xu Huang led people to carry out a wave of charge, and now he has retreated from the front line, just returning to Liu Zheng's side.

After receiving Liu Zheng's order, he quickly came to Liu Zheng's side and obeyed Liu Zheng's dispatch.

"General Xu Huang!"

"The last general!"

"You quickly lead the cavalry we left behind to the direction of Changsha County, remember, intercepting Sun Jian's men and horses in the middle of the road, you must not be able to let him escape from Shaoyang!"

"The last general commands!"

After Xu Huang received Liu Zheng's order, he immediately took the order and led the cavalry that Liu Zheng left behind and did not send to attack the city, and immediately changed his route to Changsha County.

Their purpose was to set up an ambush on the road between Changsha County and Shaoyang County, waiting for Sun Jian's arrival.

As long as Sun Jian can be contained, Liu Zheng's army can chase after him, and Sun Jian can be eliminated in one fell swoop.
