Chapter 587: Pursuit

Although Liu Bao and Liu Jiao had the idea of escaping when the city wall collapsed, they had already secretly laid a way out for themselves in advance.

Since the Wei army mainly attacked the southern wall of the city, most of the Xiongnu army was concentrated in the south, but this did not mean that the other city gates were unguarded.

After the incident, the Huns changed the defense of Jiuyuan City, the right Xiongnu army guarded the north gate, the left Xiongnu army guarded the east gate, the central Xiongnu army guarded the west gate, and the remaining south gate was guarded by the three Xiongnu joint troops, where most of the Xiongnu troops were concentrated, including the northern Xiongnu and the southern Xiongnu army.

The collapse of the southern city wall meant the fall of Jiuyuan City, Liu Bao and Liu Jiao obviously had no idea of coexisting with the city, and seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately retreated, and even did not greet Liu Meng when they left.

Liu Bao is okay, after all, he and Liu Meng look like each other in the same bed and have different dreams, but Liu Jiao is Liu Meng's most ironclad ally all the time, but at this critical time, he still took the lead in escaping, and they flew separately when the disaster came, what kind of righteousness and friendship, at this time it is not bullshit.

Liu Bao escaped from the east gate controlled by the Xiongnu on the left, and Liu Jiao escaped from the west gate controlled by the Xiongnu in the middle.

But Liu Meng was not so lucky, although his subordinates controlled the north gate, but Liu Meng retreated relatively late, and when he arrived at the north gate, the defeated army of black pressure had completely blocked the road out of the city, at this moment Liu Meng wanted to go out of the city again, I am afraid that it could only be done by growing two wings.

Unlike Liu Yue's obscene surrender, Liu Meng chose the most heroic way, using a moth to end his life, the warrior who wanted to be a single Yu and led the Huns back to the top, and finally died with ten thousand arrows through the heart.

In his dictionary, there is no word for surrender, and he would rather die in battle than surrender on his knees.

Liu Meng died righteously and vigorously, but unfortunately, the Huns were defeated like a mountain, and the general trend was gone, and no one could recover it.

From the collapse of the southern city wall to the end of the battle, the whole process only lasted more than an hour, and the Wei army completely controlled Jiuyuan City, and countless Xiongnu soldiers were captured.

News from all walks of life kept coming to Cao Liang, but Cao Liang was more concerned about how many fish slipped through the net. Because the Wei army only concentrated its forces to attack the south, in other directions, did not send troops and horses to block, of course, it was not that Cao Liang did not want to block, but the troops in his hands were a little stretched, and the one-way attack was a little weak.

But this way of attacking, will definitely cause a lot of fish to slip through the net, according to the grasp of the situation, in addition to the right Xian Wang Liu Meng died in battle, the left Xian Wang Liu Bao and the central marshal Liu Jiao have already led the troops to escape.

However, due to the chaos when the Xiongnu fled, and the city gate was too narrow, causing a large number of congestion, the casualties and captured Xiongnu troops accounted for more than eighty percent of the total, and only about twenty percent of the Xiongnu soldiers fled from Jiuyuan.

The Wei army won a complete victory in this battle, and in the real sense, it was a complete solution to the threat of the Huns, even if Liu Bao and Liu Jiao escaped, but the army they led was only more than 10,000 people, and after losing Jiuyuan, the last territory of the Huns, Liu Bao and Liu Jiao would be in a difficult situation no matter where they fled, at least in Bingzhou, they had no place to stay.

However, Cao Liang was not satisfied with such a victory, Liu Bao and Liu Jiao, the two fish that slipped through the net, must not be left alone, regardless of it, the hundred-legged worm, dead but not stiff, what Cao Liang has to do now is to take advantage of the victory to pursue, completely eliminate these two Huns, and solve the worries.

So Cao Liang ordered that the affairs of cleaning up the battlefield be handed over to the three battalions of infantry, Changshui, and shooting, and the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion were divided into two ways to pursue the remnants of the Huns.

Deng Ai and Shi Bao immediately received the order, led the Yue cavalry battalion and the Tun cavalry battalion to leave Jiuyuan, according to the current information, Zuoxian Wang Liu Bao escaped from the east gate, Deng Ai led the Yue cavalry battalion out of the east gate to pursue, the central marshal Liu Jiao escaped from the west gate, Shi Bao led the Tun cavalry battalion to chase all the way from the west gate.

Since the Huns did not escape for a long time, the Wei army could follow their remaining traces, such as the footprints of horses' hooves, the remaining armor and weapons of the Huns, and so on, and pursue them all the way.

Although Liu Bao escaped from the east gate, after leaving the city, he did not go east, but turned to the north and headed north.

Liu Bao brought out not many soldiers and horses, in addition to his own cronies and subordinates, there are still thousands of miscellaneous troops, these Huns soldiers are from the right, some from the north, and some from the middle, in short, when fleeing, the establishment of the various departments has long been dispersed, many Hun soldiers are like headless flies, looking for a chance to rush out and rush out, anyway, staying in the city, is a dead end.

Although Liu Bao wanted to bring out more of the people on his left, it was already a lucky thing that he could run out in the chaotic situation at the city gate, and at that moment Liu Bao really couldn't take care of much, and if he was a little slower, he would probably never be able to leave.

Liu Meng acted in the city as Zhun Shan Yu, trying to gather more Huns to resist the attack of the Wei army, but Liu Bao could see that now the Huns were scattered and had no fighting spirit, so what could such an army use to resist the attack of the Wei army?

Staying in the city, it is estimated that only by sending him to death and escaping can he have a glimmer of life.

In this case, Liu Bao decisively and wisely chose to escape, and before escaping, he did not greet Liu Meng, not because he didn't want to fight, but because they were too far apart, it was too late in time.

The speed of the Wei cavalry attack was very fast, and Liu Bao could only consider protecting himself, although he and Liu Meng looked like they were separated and hostile to each other, but in the fight against the Wei people, their interests were still the same, and he still understood the truth of the cold lips and teeth.

It's not that I don't want to save it, it's just that the whip can't reach it!

I don't know what happened to Liu Meng now, but looking at this situation, most of the time it is more than lucky.

Liu Bao didn't care about the death of the rabbit and the fox, he knew very well that most of the pursuers of the Wei army would arrive soon, and if he escaped slowly, he was afraid that he would follow in Liu Meng's footsteps.
