"Mingjin retreats!" Liu Bei looked at the sky that was gradually darkening, glanced at Xun Yu on the inner city wall hatefully, and said in a deep voice.

Looking at Liu Bei's soldiers who receded like a tide, the defenders of the inner city of Changyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and many people ignored the corpses around them, and sat down directly on the ground, panting for breath.

Xun Yu looked at the more than 5,000 soldiers on the city wall, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was already the third day after the outer city was destroyed, and Liu Bei had no intention of withdrawing his troops, but continued to attack even more frantically. Xun Yu has been commanding the defenders to encourage and support, constantly repelling Liu Bei's attacks wave after wave, and the army under his command has been damaged by nearly half of his efforts. As for the results, not losing the name of Wang Zuozhicai, Liu Beijun's damage was definitely more than three times that of Cao Jun.

"Military advisor, General Xiahou will arrive the day after tomorrow, we just need to hold on for another day." Although the captain defending the city was covered in blood, he was still out of breath and said in a slightly relaxed tone.

"No, we'll break out tonight." Xun Yu did not have the optimism of a lieutenant at all, and said in a deep voice.

"Why? We still have more than 5,000 soldiers, and we won't be able to hold it tomorrow! As long as General Miaocai comes...", the lieutenant was puzzled.

"Our 5,000 soldiers are evenly divided into four city walls, and each city wall is only more than 1,000 people, as long as the other side attacks one side, we will not be able to defend it tomorrow. Moreover, the other side still has an elite in its hands, although it has not moved for the past few days, but now that our army is weak, the other party will inevitably attack. Before the lieutenant's words were finished, Xun Yu interrupted with a solemn face: "What's more, what if Miaocai arrives?" Now that Changyi City is under Liu Bei's control, we have no possibility of breaking through from the inside, Miao Cai has no more than 10,000 iron cavalry, and it is safe to protect himself in land warfare, but if you want to capture this Changyi City, it is not easy to talk about! ”

"Yes, my subordinates will prepare." When the captain heard this, his face sank, and he said in a low voice.

"No, Liu Beijun is not a fool, he will definitely strengthen his vigilance in the near future, and he has already made arrangements, you come over with your ears..."

......

At night, the lights inside and outside the city of Changyi were bright, and most of Liu Bei's army, who had been fighting for several days, had rested, but there were still many elites still stationed under the city, observing the situation in the city at all times.

Above the inner city of Changyi, countless figures loom under the dim torches, which seem to be numerous, but if you look closely, you will see that they are nothing more than grass men and wood people. The gate on the east side of the inner city of Changyi quietly opened, and a large army drove out of the city in the darkness and slowly headed towards the outside of the city.

"Khooth! Sonor! Sonor! ”

The sound of gongs and drums resounded throughout the city, and countless troops quietly stationed at the eastern gate of the city burst up, roaring while killing the attacking Cao army, and the sound of killing was everywhere for a while.

Liu Bei, who was stationed at the south gate, heard the sound and rushed out directly without even putting on his armor, and said anxiously: "What's the matter, has the Cao army broken through?" ”

Liu Ye, who was sleeping directly in Liu Bei's tent, said in a deep voice: "Lord, there is a sound of killing from the direction of the east gate, I'm afraid Xun Yu is about to break through." ”

Liu Bei's eyes were mixed with excitement and anxiety, and he shouted: "Quickly order the second brother, third brother and uncle to go and stop it, there is no need to capture Xun Yusheng and save the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Don't worry, lord!" Liu Ye frowned slightly and said: "If Xun Wen acts steadily and carefully, maybe this is his plan to attack the west." ”

"Zi's threats are reasonable." After listening to Liu Ye's words, Liu Bei quickly calmed down from his anxiety, but he was still a little worried: "But what if the other party is really desperate, or if the other party thinks that we will be like this, wouldn't this be in the other party's hands?" ”

The battle has lost countless soldiers for several days, and Liu Bei has already suffered a little at this time. However, what he said is not unreasonable, the virtual is real, the real is virtual, and he really can't figure out Xun Yu's thoughts.

Liu Ye frowned and thought slightly: "What the lord is worried about is not unreasonable, the east gate has a Yide handle, then let Yun Chang, who is closer to the north gate, go first, and leave General Chen Zhi and the Bai'er elite soldiers at the west gate on standby, and our army must not act rashly." ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this: "Ziyang is really thoughtful, but!" ”

Liu Bei then quickly ordered Guan Zhang to lead his army to support the defenders of the east gate, and at the same time ordered the scouts to carefully investigate the movements of the four gates of the inner city.

Soon, while Liu Bei was anxiously waiting, the scouts quickly reported that the gates of the north and west of the inner city were wide open, and two large armies rushed out of them, and the two gates in the northwest were all killed.

"Ziyang, what is Xun Wen like this? Which is the other party's breakout army? Liu Bei was suddenly confused by this news, and couldn't help but ask again.

Liu Ye was also confused at this time, but he forced himself to calm down and said: "Lord, I can't figure out Xun Wenruo's thoughts, but no matter which of these two armies is Xun Yu's real breakthrough force, the west gate is garrisoned by Shuzhi's white-eared elite soldiers, there will definitely be no problem, we just need to go to support the north gate." ”

"Good!"

Then Liu Bei directly led 3,000 soldiers to support the north city gate, leaving 3,000 soldiers to garrison at the south gate.

"Hurry up, give me a little quick!" A large army rushed towards the north gate at a high speed, and Liu Bei kept urging.

The army soon approached the north gate, but Liu Bei received another report from the scouts, and another large army in the inner city headed for the south gate.

"Not good! Hit Xun Yu's plan to attack the west! Liu Bei shouted angrily: "Quick, go back to the south gate!" ”

However, at this time, Liu Ye had a faint inexplicable feeling, as if he had ignored something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Liu Bei and his entourage returned to the south gate and fought with the Cao army who broke through.

In the dim night, the sound of killing in Changyi City was everywhere, and under the sporadic torches, Liu Beijun couldn't see how many Cao troops were fighting against him, he only felt that there were enemies all around, and they were all caught in the fight.

About two hours later, the eastern sky revealed the white belly of the fish, and the sound of fighting in the city finally gradually subsided, and Liu Bei, who was covered in blood, stood in a sea of corpses and blood, and asked slightly out of breath: "How is it, have you found any traces of the Son of Heaven and Xun Yu?" ”

"Nope." Liu Ye frowned and said, "It's better to wait until the other three doors come to hear news." ”

Soon, the scouts of the West Gate and the East Gate rushed back, and Chen Zhi and Guan Zhang unexpectedly wiped out all the enemies who broke through, and did not miss a single person, but they also did not find the figure of the Son of Heaven and Xun Yu, and only the farthest north gate was left without news.

At this time, Liu Ye seemed to have thought of something, looked at the corpses of Cao Jun who fell to the ground around him, and said with a slight wrinkle: "Lord, where is the scout who told the lord that there is a large army heading for the south gate?" ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The army just fought in chaos, and I didn't pay attention to it." ”

When Liu Ye heard this, he began to look for it in the crowd with his impression of the previous person.

Soon, the faces of thousands of people, including the soldiers who died and fell to the ground, swept through one by one, except for a dozen or so unrecognizable ones, and still did not find the face in his impression. And the figure and clothing of the dozen or so people obviously did not match the former, which made Liu Ye's heart sink.

"Lord, I'm afraid we've fallen for it."
