The cards in Liu Bei's hand are only a little, but the 60,000 soldiers are really fighting against the 50,000 Chu army elites led by Huang Zhong, and the overall strength is not half a star, so naturally they will not just fight Huang Zhong and consume hard.

This time, Chen Qun cleverly calculated and defeated Huang Zhong, exchanging less than 20,000 casualties for more than 10,000 elites of Huang Zhong, and the battle loss ratio was almost the same, which can be regarded as a big profit.

However, Liu Bei's damage was not small, in order to defend the city and block the city gate, the white-eared elite soldiers sacrificed a lot, and the loss was nearly thirty percent. After learning about this battle report, Liu Bei was distressed, and at the same time, he also had a deep temperament and did not fight with Huang Zhong hard.

At the time of the chaotic street fighting, it could not be reflected, once the army was fighting in formation, the combat power of the Chu army, which had a clear division of labor and tacit cooperation, increased geometrically.

The white-eared elite soldier is Liu Bei's last trump card, the elite of the elite. The soldiers among them are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles and experienced countless defeats with Liu Bei, but they have always been high-spirited. To a certain extent, the elite degree of the Bai'er elite soldiers is basically proportional to the number of battles Liu Bei has won. It's like a small strong protagonist who can't be killed, and every time you lose, you can grow by one point.

The white-eared elite soldiers in history followed Liu Bei to travel all over the country, all the way from Xuzhou to Jizhou, Xinye, Jingnan, and Yizhou, and their combat power was simply amazing, and even Zhuge Liang praised it. But it's a pity that Liu Bei's own limitations failed to play its role, and he used such an elite as a guard. Although it ensured Liu Bei's own safety, it also made him invisible to the world and a pearl covered with dust.

Although the white-eared elite soldiers led by Chen Zhi have not reached the peak strength before the Battle of Yiling, they should not be underestimated. Especially in the case that Liu Bei once occupied the rich Yuzhou, this army reached a full strength of 3,000 people, instead of only a few hundred in history.

In addition, the weapons and armor on these people were also collected by Liu Bei through various channels with a lot of money and time, and they were extremely valuable.

These are basically the parts of Chu State's unqualified weapons and equipment that are relatively good in quality. In Liu Bei's eyes, it is naturally a high-quality product, although Yuan Shu restricts leaving the country and strictly guards against it, there are always people who will be driven by interests to get their hands on it, and then secretly sell it to Liu Bei and others at a high price.

In fact, a large part of this was secretly released by Yuan Shu at the suggestion of Jia Xu when Cao Cao seized Xuzhou, in order to improve Liu Bei's strength to balance Cao Cao, and at the same time, he also gained a lot of money. However, in today's view, this kind of behavior has the meaning of lifting a stone to one's own feet. But the impact is not great, the key is the elite of the white-eared elite soldiers themselves, and this batch of ordnance is just the icing on the cake.

After a fierce battle until the afternoon, when both sides were tired, Huang Zhong saw that there were Bai'er elite soldiers guarding the city gate and could not take Huang County, so he no longer made a senseless attack and Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Liu Bei and Chen Qun were also a little relieved when they saw this. Fortunately, Huang Zhong cherished his soldiers and did not choose to continue the attack, otherwise with the soldiers and horses in Liu Bei's hands, this Huang County would really not be able to hold it. However, Huang Zhong will definitely suffer heavy losses in that case, and this kind of lose-lose outcome is unacceptable to both sides.

"The front game has been laid out, lord, let's withdraw!" Chen Qundao.

"Is the retreat all around the perimeter? Don't be ambushed by Huang Hansheng. ”

"Don't worry, the lord is ready." Chen Qun said confidently.

He had been planning for a long time for this matter, and he had considered everything about it. After countless simulations in his mind, there were no flaws, because the last killer move that Liu Bei had mastered was a very bug-like existence, especially now that he had a home advantage, Chen Qun didn't believe that a mere Huang Zhong could see through his plan.

……

The next day, Huang Zhong, who had learned the lessons of yesterday and reorganized his troops and horses to prepare for siege and war from all sides, led his army to the city, only to find that what was in front of him was only an empty city. Only a few hundred wounded soldiers remained in the city, and after the attack they surrendered without restraint.

"What about Liu Xuande?" Huang Zhong asked.

"According to the confessions of these prisoners, Liu Xuande had already led the army to run away last night." Ma Zhongdao.

"Ran away?" Huang Zhong frowned, and there was a feeling of unhappiness in his heart that he punched with all his strength but only hit the air.

"Our army is so strong that it does not dare to defend to the death, and its withdrawal is expected." The military adviser said.

"It's a pity, I was calculated by him yesterday, I wanted to find the field today, but I didn't want this guy to be so cunning, so I ran away." Ma Zhong was a little indignant and said: "General, it's just one night, Liu Xuande must not be able to run far, let's pursue it quickly." ”

"General, calm down for the time being! Since Liu Xuande dared to fight with our army, but he withdrew at this time, there is a fear of deception, and it is better for our army to march steadily. Since Liu Bei has already come here, the offensive of the two generals Wentai and Wenchang must be overwhelming, and we just need to stabilize it. If Liu Bei has a plan, he will definitely expose his flaws. "Follow the military strategist and say.

"But wouldn't this be a waste of credit? Our gains in this battle are far less than our losses, how can we explain to Your Majesty? Ma Zhong said angrily.

"Alright, DXN. According to the military division, everything is safe, and I will explain the responsibility of this battle to Your Majesty. Huang Zhong said lightly.

Not to mention Huang Zhong's own steady character, he and Sun Jian are both the heads of the generals, and their official positions cannot be promoted, so they don't care about this merit and punishment at all.

"Yesterday the battle was hard, today we will temporarily go into the city to rest for a day. Send scouts to find out the situation first, and then pursue tomorrow. Huang Zhong ordered.

"By the way, the city must strengthen vigilance and investigation, and beware of what secret ambush Liu Bei left behind."

"No!"

After issuing a series of instructions in a row, Huang Zhong's worries were slightly relaxed. For some reason, since the time of this march, he has had a feeling of panic, especially yesterday and today, this feeling has become more and more obvious.

In yesterday's battle, although he didn't know where Zhang Fei was, he had already arrived in the dark, and he was lurking somewhere and staring at him secretly, so he didn't make a move.

For Chen Qun in Liu Beijun, Huang Zhong is still extremely jealous. If these emaciated strategists become ruthless, their ability to kill people is no worse than that of their generals. If it weren't for the fact that the few great strategists around Yuan Shu really couldn't leave, Huang Zhong really wanted Guo Jia or Xun You to accompany him. It's so uncomfortable to be on guard against being calculated by others at all times, and you have no choice but to do it.

Thinking hard all the way, he led the army into the city, looking at the not too tall city wall of Huangxian County in front of him, Huang Zhong felt a little relieved in his heart. His confidence in defending the city is much greater than attacking it, as long as the city does not collapse by itself, he does not believe that Liu Bei can do anything about himself.
