Chapter 801: Support

Zhang Liao's wishful thinking played very well.

He was in Baqiu County, attracting the attention of Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and others, and then turned around and killed Jiangling.

In this way, with Ding Yuan's men and horses, they can attack and retreat.

There is no need to fight alone, you can discuss with Ding Yuan's soldiers and horses, cooperate with Ding Yuan's cavalry, and even be able to deal a heavy blow to Gan Ning and Huang Zhong on this battlefield.

It's a pity that he didn't know that Jiangling City had fallen into Liu Zheng's hands at this time.

Even Ding Yuan has been recruited by Liu Zheng and sent back to the countryside to farm.

Two days passed quickly.

Zhang Liao led his troops and horses to confront Huang Zhong and Ganning's men and horses in Baqiu County for a few days, but he did not rush to attack.

Instead, he has been sending people to inquire about the news from Gangneung City.

It's just that the person he sent out to inquire about the news has not yet returned and told him what happened in Jiangling, and Hanyang City behind him has ushered in Liu Zheng's army.

After Liu Zheng got the matter of Xiangyang, he quickly led Sun Jian's soldiers and horses from Xiangyang to Hanyang.

Because Zhang Liao took away most of the soldiers and horses on the Hanyang side.

Therefore, in the entire Hanyang City, there are less than 5,000 people left, and these people have the ability to resist when Liu Zheng and Sun Jian's men and horses arrive.

was directly defeated by Liu Zheng in Hanyang City.

After Liu Zheng took Hanyang, he immediately asked the defenders in Hanyang City, where Zhang Liao and the others went.

Soon rushed to the mouths of those people and learned that Zhang Liao took Liu Qi's men and horses to pursue Gan Ning and these people in Baqiu.

Subsequently, Liu Zheng and Sun Jian immediately waved their troops in pursuit.

When Zhang Liao and Liu Qi were about to take their men and horses to Jiangling City to join Ding Yuan's soldiers and horses, Liu Zheng and Sun Jian killed Baqiu at this time.

Outside the city of Bachu.

Zhang Liao and Liu Qi are still discussing when to leave.

"General Wenyuan, our men and horses are almost ready, and we can leave from here."

"When the time comes, we will go straight to Jiangling, converge General Ding Yuan's men, and then return to Xiangyang, then Liu Zheng may be attacked by us in front and back, and he may be defeated in one fell swoop."

Liu Qi was already a little excited at this time, this time he and Zhang Liao had already defeated Gan Ning, the general under Liu Zheng's command.

As long as he returns to Xiangyang this time, Liu Qi will definitely be praised by his father.

And at this very time.

A thumping sound came from afar.

Zhang Liao was more familiar with this voice than Liu Qi, and when Liu Qi didn't have any reaction, Zhang Liao immediately frowned and hurriedly walked out of the big tent.

Then he glanced into the distance.

When Liu Qi saw Zhang Liao's sudden and strange behavior, he immediately followed.

"General Wenyuan, what's wrong? What's going on? ”

"No, didn't you hear that voice?"

"Voice?"

was reminded by Zhang Liao like this, Liu Qi pricked up his ears at this time and listened around.

The voice gradually became louder, and Liu Qi at this time also heard this voice.

But even if he heard it, Liu Qi didn't recognize what it was for the first time.

"What is this?"

"The voice of the cavalry!"

"Cavalry?"

As soon as he heard the news, Liu Qi was not afraid, but surprised, because in this vicinity, it seems that the only person who can have cavalry is Ding Yuan in Jiangling County.

Under Ding Yuan's hands, there seemed to be less than 20,000 cavalry.

"Is it Lord Ding Yuan's cavalry?"

Liu Qi immediately asked Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao immediately shook his head.

"No, no, General Ding Yuan is in Huarong, and the direction of Huaxiong should be this side, but the position where this voice came from is in the opposite direction. This is the direction of our Hanyang. ”

"The direction of Hanyang?"

At this moment, Liu Qi was also surprised, and glanced in the direction where the voice came.

At this time, as the sound became clearer and clearer, a troop of soldiers and horses had appeared on the horizon in the distance.

The speed of the cavalry is very fast, this is the vanguard army under Liu Zheng, it is the cavalry commanded by Xu Huang, and there are only a few thousand cavalry left, passing through this battlefield, as if entering a no-man's land.

In a few breaths, it had already approached the vicinity of Baqiu County.

Zhang Liao and Liu Qi, who were still a little puzzled, also saw the flags on these cavalry clearly after those cavalry approached at this time.

The appearance of a big Liu character and some Xu characters has already made Zhang Liao and Liu Qi look nervous.

"It's not good, it's the enemy!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy cavalry, defense, defend immediately!"

Zhang Liao immediately discovered that these cavalry were not reinforcements from his side, but the soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng, and immediately his face changed greatly, and he began to command the large armies around him, wanting to defend.

However, those cavalry were not so easy to deal with, and the cavalry led by Xu Huang immediately entered these tens of thousands of troops with the sound of the horn of attack.

A big battle broke out outside the city of Baqiu County.

Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and others in the city also heard the sound of Xu Huang's cavalry approaching.

They all ran to the city tower one by one, wanting to see what was going on, but they didn't plan to attack, but after finding out that it was Xu Huang's cavalry rushing over, they were overjoyed one by one.

Taking advantage of Xu Huang's impact on Zhang Liao's camp, they also directly opened the gate of Baqiu County.

The tens of thousands of troops in this Baqiu county town also rushed over at this time.

A scuffle broke out at this time.

Zhang Liao's strength is very strong, his personal bravery is good, and his ability to command the army is not bad, although he was attacked from both sides, Zhang Liao still calmly led his own men and horses, and Xu Huang, Gan Ning and others were entangled.

And gradually withdrew from the vicinity of Baqiu County with their remnants, and after they saw Xu Huang's men and horses, they knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time.

"Withdraw! Brother Liu Qi, lead our men and horses to evacuate to Jiangling! Go to Gangneung now! ”

Zhang Liao knew that he couldn't fight with these soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng here, otherwise the outcome of the battle would not be beneficial to them, and only retreat was the best policy.

Anyway, they had already decided to withdraw Gangneung, and now they are only launching it in advance.

Liu Qi was stupid, after receiving Zhang Liao's order at this time, where was there any hesitation.

nodded directly, and led his men and horses to retreat.

Zhang Liao himself was the queen of his palace, and led the two thousand cavalry of the headquarters, which was not much, to fight Xu Huang here, and bought some time for Liu Qi's army to retreat.

However, the cavalry on Xu Huang's side did not have to be weak in terms of number or personal strength, and the battlefield soon came to an end.
