Yuan Shao's men and horses were about to retreat.

This can be seen clearly from the castle tower.

After noticing that Yuan Jun had begun to withdraw from outside the city one after another, Sun Shao immediately realized something.

"Something is wrong, why did they retreat suddenly?"

Sun Shao looked at Yuan Jun, who was slowly leaving, and gradually frowned, and looked at Guan Yu with a solemn expression.

"I really don't think something is right, that's why I brought you as a military advisor."

"Although our army has experienced the two major battles just now and has not killed or injured any people, but in the two major battles in a row, the men and horses of our army have a strong sense of fatigue and morale is not high."

"It stands to reason that the Yuan army should take the opportunity to continue the siege of the city, how could it suddenly withdraw at this time?"

Sun Shao was very puzzled, but he didn't think of anything else for a while.

Guan Yu was still smart, and he immediately realized something.

"It's not good, it should be that our army's reinforcements are coming, they noticed our reinforcements and are rushing here, so they don't dare to continue to stay outside Xiapi City for a long time, so as not to be attacked by our army before and after, and completely block the retreat."

As soon as Guan Yu said this, Sun Shao also nodded immediately, revealing a look of sudden realization, affirming Guan Yu's guess.

"What General Guan said is extremely true, only in this way will these Yuan troops outside the city retreat."

Seeing Sun Shao say the same, Guan Yu's face was still a little worried, but at this time, he immediately became excited.

"Hahaha, very good, finally let us seize the opportunity, if we calculate the time, Zhao Yun should also come to Xiapi City to support us at this time."

"Strategist, you and bring people here, continue to defend Xiapi City, I will lead half of the men and horses in the city out of the city to pursue Yuan's army, such a good opportunity, you can't let these enemies escape like this, you must leave them under Xiapi City!"

After that, Guan Yu immediately mobilized, walked down from the city tower, and led five or six thousand men and horses in the city to leave the city.

When Sun Shao heard Guan Yu say this, he didn't stop him, because he also knew that this opportunity was a good time to defeat Yuan Shao.

Once it was really their reinforcements that arrived near Xiapi City, and Guan Yu went out of the city at this time to contain Yuan Shao's men and horses.

Then they are very likely to wipe out Yuan Shao's men and horses in Xiapi City.

Guan Yu led the men and horses out of the city.

Just when Guan Yu's men and horses had just left the city to contain some of the retreating Yuan Shaojun.

At this time, a force of soldiers and horses was ushered in outside the city.

These horses quickly approached Xiapi City, and soon came to the city gate, and when they saw the battle taking place outside the city gate, they directly led the men and horses to join the battle without saying a word.

Guan Yu, who was fighting with the reinforcements outside the city, was overjoyed when he saw these soldiers and horses coming from afar, because he had already seen from the decorations of these horses that these people were Liu Bei's soldiers and horses.

Whether it is the clothing or the banner they are carrying, it is Liu Bei's.

This made Guan Yu very calm, and the morale of the group led by Guan Yu was greatly boosted.

These soldiers and horses in the distance quickly rushed over, Zhao Yun took the lead, rushed to Xiapicheng, and directly joined the battle, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun also had some friendship.

Seeing Zhao Yun coming to support, Guan Yu's expression immediately perked.

"Zilong, you came just in time, I have already contained those Yuan troops here, you and I will join forces to wipe out these enemy forces!"

"General Yun Chang, you can rest here for a while, and then leave it to me!"

Zhao Yun immediately received the order, led a part of the cavalry under his command, and began to attack outside the city.

In fact, Yuan Shao and his men have already begun to retreat, and the speed of retreat is not slow.

It's just that they were going to leave a part of the broken horses, so this part of the broken horses was besieged by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and they were quickly defeated.

Yuan Jun outside the city of Pi didn't have many people. In addition, it was Guan Yu and Zhao Yun who were caught between the front and back, so they were naturally swept away quickly.

After annihilating these Yuan troops after the break, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu did not intend to let go.

Taking advantage of the great drop in morale at this time, the Yuan army that had fled all the way was evacuating to Donghai County, and their soldiers and horses were not many, and the idea in Zhao Yun and Guan Yu's hearts was to completely wipe out this Yuan army on the way to escape in one fell swoop.

So they took advantage of the victory to pursue, and used part of the cavalry to quickly catch up with the reinforcements who were evacuating.

Yuan Shao and his subordinates had just evacuated from outside Xiapi City, and they hadn't gone far on the way back to Donghai County when they saw a lot of pursuers suddenly coming behind them.

Although the number of pursuers was not too large, only three or four thousand.

But these three or four thousand people are all cavalry, and they are elite cavalry mainly based on the white horse righteous servants under Zhao Yun, and the strength of these cavalry is not ordinary cavalry.

If Yuan Shao and the others don't take them seriously, they may suffer a big loss.

Seeing that this wave of enemy troops was chasing after the rear of the team, Yuan Shao's face also changed drastically, and he was in trouble with time.

Fortunately, there is still a wave of loyal and reliable generals under Yuan Shao.

Jiang Qi, a confidant general, immediately stood up and shouted at Yuan Shao after seeing that his men and horses were being pursued.

"The lord is willing to break off the rear and resist the pursuit of these enemy troops!"

At this time, these Liu Bei's soldiers and horses pursued over, if they kept chasing behind regardless of them, it would still be difficult for the fleeing Yuan Shaojun to escape from the pursuit of the cavalry.

Caught by them, the remaining 20,000 horses may not be able to escape completely.

Only by detaching a part of the men to resist these cavalry here can the rest of the men and horses escape from here.

Seeing that someone took the initiative to stand up and wanted to break off, Yuan Shao thought about it for a while, and finally agreed.

"Good! General Jiang Qi, you are responsible for the rear, remember, if you can fight, then repel the enemy, if you can't do anything, you can retreat with your whole body, I don't want to see you lose here, after you successfully break through, I will serve you as a general! ”

It is rare for Jiang Qi to have such thoughts, after choosing to sacrifice his life, Yuan Shao was naturally quite moved, it happened that Yan Liang had just died in battle, and Jiang Qi's strength was not bad, so Yuan Shao was already ready to replace Jiang Qi with Yan Liang, who had already died in battle.

Jiang Qi was also very moved when he heard this, thanked Yuan Shao, led three thousand elite cavalry, stopped retreating, and stayed to prepare to compete with Zhao Yun's three or four thousand pursuers.

With Jiang Qi's break, Yuan Shao and these people were really able to buy time to evacuate from the border of Picheng and escape back to Donghai County.

And Jiang Qi really showed some bravery in the fight with Zhao Yun, and the three thousand men and horses stubbornly blocked Zhao Yun's pursuit.
