After Zang Ba listened to what Liao Hua said, he had to admit that what Liao Hua said was indeed reasonable. In fact, why don't you think so, no matter what the intentions of Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army are, at least one thing can be determined, that is, they are going to be ruthless to themselves, with the goal of seizing Xiangyang, they will definitely come back again. It's just that how to come back, whether it is Zang Ba or Liao Hua, is unknown, because there are too many possibilities, and it is impossible for both of them to prevent it-

At this time, the two of them had already come to the head of Xiangyang City, and a soldier pointed to the two, "General, look, the Yanzhou army is retreating eastward at this time!" ”

In fact, there is no need for the soldier to say, the two of them have already seen it. But the two of them didn't think that Cao Mengde retreated so gloomy, and it is estimated that even fools would not think about it like this.

At this time, Zang Ba muttered to himself, "Cao Mengde, Yanzhou Army, what do you want?" ”

And Liao Hua listened to Zang Ba talking to himself next to him, but he didn't say anything. For him, he is just a secondary figure, and Zang Ba is the one who makes the decision. It is he who wants to listen to him, not others who want to listen to him. What's more, I really don't know what Cao Mengde is going to do, anyway, just follow Zang Ba when the time comes, and the rest, it's really nothing.

Liao Hua can be said to be very clear about his position in the Liangzhou Army and wants to make meritorious contributions. They will be rewarded together, they will be punished, and that will be the same. It's punished together, that's it, nothing else-

It is said that Cao Cao has already led his troops to retreat, which is an important part of the plan, so of course it must be done.

Cao Cao led the army all the way to the east and retreated more than a hundred miles. That's when it stopped. As for why Cao Cao wanted to retreat to the east, because if he went north, he would have to withdraw from the boundaries of Nanjun. And returned to the boundary of Nanyang, and the boundary of Fancheng in that place was Zhuge Liang's territory.

Even if Cao Cao didn't think that Zhuge Liang would send troops against him, he had to say it. Cao Cao to Zhuge Liang. Even if there is a kind, it can't be said to be afraid, anyway, he doesn't want to deal with other people, because he feels that if he deals with other people too much, he will definitely suffer from himself.

Therefore, Cao Cao could only retreat eastward with his army, and after retreating more than a hundred miles, he stopped. Let the army be encamped on the spot, and rest well.

And Cao Cao led the march with his troops. From the afternoon to the present evening, there was not much rest for several hours, although it was still nothing for his own soldiers, but Cao Cao knew that the road was almost the same according to the needs of the strategy, so he stopped and set up camp-

At this time in Xiangyang City, Zang Ba said to Liao Hua, "Tanma has not returned at this time, so it means that Cao Mengde has led his Yanzhou army for at least more than a hundred miles!" ”

Liao Hua frowned when he heard this: "Isn't it that our army was killed by his army?" ”

Zang Ba shook his head, "Although the Yanzhou Army's scouts are the best in the world, our army is not weak. Ten were dispatched at this time, and it is impossible to wipe out all of them! ”

Liao Hua nodded at this time, indeed, no matter how powerful the Yanzhou army is, unless it is deliberately sent to intercept it halfway, it will be difficult to kill all the well-trained Tanma on his side. The key is what the Yanzhou Army did in doing this, and what was the intention. They want to kill the horses, do they want to keep their location from being known? Or is it?

At this time, I heard Zang Ba say, "Wait for our army to come back from the expedition and see what Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army is planning?" ”

Liao Hua also nodded when he heard this, and now that he looks at it, it seems that it can only be like this-

It's just that Zang Ba and Liao Hua don't know what they do, but in fact, they have already fallen for other people's schemes, but unfortunately they don't know what to do.

The night passed, but it was not yet daylight, but when it was almost dawn, Xiangyang City was no longer peaceful, because it was attacked by others.

And the one who leads the troops is still Lejin, but there is just one more Guan Yu. It's just that the main general who led the troops to attack the city is still Lejin, and Guan Yu is just fighting outside the city.

This is Guan Yu's plan for Cao Cao, that is, to let his army retreat first, of course, this retreat is not the retreat of the whole army, but also to leave a hundred thousand or so men and horses here, these horses have long been hidden in the forest that is not too far from both sides of the city wall of Xiangyang City, but it is not close, led by Guan Yu and Le Jin.

This is a strange army, which is used for night raids. Because in Guan Yu's opinion, the chief general and soldiers of Xiangyang saw with their own eyes that their side was retreating with great fanfare, and they had to send scouts to listen to the news. So it's hard to think that there is still a strange army left in this place, and before dawn, when the enemy's sense of prevention is the weakest, a surprise attack on Xiangyang at night can definitely play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort-

To say that Zang Ba and Liao Hua in Xiangyang City are indeed a little careless. And they really didn't think that Cao Cao and their side used such a strategy to blind their own sight, and then took advantage of the night to attack Xiangyang.

Originally, they also watched Cao Cao leave completely with the Yanzhou army, but who could know that they had already left a group of men and horses in order to attack Xiangyang City. And the men and horses left behind are actually soldiers with very strong combat strength in their Yanzhou army, so it is strange that the Liangzhou army does not suffer losses.

But although Zang Ba and Liao Hua did pay attention to the soldiers before, the Liangzhou soldiers were not as good as them. They also saw the retreat of the Yanzhou army with their own eyes, so even if the two generals did give a few words, they were still much more relaxed, compared to when the Yanzhou army was there, not to mention the world of difference, it was indeed about the same.

And for nearly a night, I didn't find any movement, and on the eve of dawn, it was the time when people's sense of precaution was the weakest, so the Liangzhou sergeant was careless. They didn't expect that the Yanzhou Army would still be able to come out from both sides, which was indeed a big surprise to them-

When Zang Ba and Liao Hua heard the soldier's report, they knew that they were careless, and then the soldier was also careless. The two of them know better than anyone else that since the Yanzhou army dares to use this plan, it means that these soldiers they left behind are fighting to the death with their own side, "if they don't succeed, they will become benevolent", so they will not be opponents of others.

And they also heard it, although it is still the previous Lejin who is leading the troops to attack the city, but there is still a military general outside the city, and it seems that it should be Guan Yu Guan Yunchang of the Yanzhou Army. This person can be regarded as his old friend and old opponent, and he once fought with his father-in-law, Zang Ba and Liao Hua know it, and they also know that Guan Yu is not easy to mess with, so now, it is really a plan to retreat.

Zang Ba sighed helplessly, "Pass on my military order, the whole army retreats to the southeast and retreats to Jiangxia!" ”

"No!"

The soldiers hurriedly retreated, and then after Zang Ba and Liao Hua put on their armor, they left their own mansions. For him, what he can do now is to take away as many Liangzhou soldiers as possible, and reserve a little strength for himself. Otherwise, what else can I do, I can't fight to the death, even if my own army is wiped out, it is estimated that I can't live in the attack of others-

In fact, what Zang Ba thought was right, this time the Yanzhou sergeant was indeed crazy. How to say it, because they have never been able to take Xiangyang before, they are really aggrieved. And now I finally saw hope and seized such an opportunity, so from top to bottom, from Lejin to ordinary soldiers, almost everyone is crazy.

And the previous pre-war mobilization, whether it was Cao Cao at the beginning, or Guan Yu and Lejin later, it can be said that they did a good job. Therefore, although these Yanzhou soldiers do not say that everyone will fight to the death and go to attack the city, it is true that many people have already died in order to capture Xiangyang City.

Le Jin had already climbed to the top of the city at this time, but Zang Ba and Liao Hua were not in the city at this time, so Le Jin was extremely relaxed tonight. He said in his heart that if this was the case earlier, it is estimated that he might have taken Xiangyang a long time ago, although it is not necessarily, but it has a great chance, isn't it. It's just, alas, alas, that now there is such an opportunity.

Le Jin led his soldiers to kill the enemy at the head of the city, while Zang Ba and Liao Hua, after they left the mansion, they got on their horses, and then went straight to the city. Of course, they can't leave on their own, but they will definitely retreat with their soldiers, anyway, now they can take as much as they can, so it can only be so. (To be continued......)
