In the south of Xiapi City, in the Jiangdong Army camp, Zhu Zhi, Wu Jing, Ling Cao and others who stayed in the camp received the remnants of the soldiers led by Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, and they were shocked. They didn't expect that Sun Jian's raid would actually fail, and it would be so badly defeated.

The Tiger Guard was disabled, Sun Jian, Zu Mao, and Han Dang were seriously injured, only a few thousand soldiers returned, and the rest of the Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers were either destroyed or captured.

Wu Jing and Zhu Zhi, as the left and right army divisions of Sun Jian's expedition, immediately ordered Ling Cao to lead 5,000 troops to attack after receiving the remnants of the army led by Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others, alerting the pursuing soldiers of Yuan Shu's army, and at the same time getting Sun Jian, Zu Mao, and Han Dang into the main tent of the middle camp.

At this time, Sun Jian was still unconscious, although Yuan Shu began to gather troops to prepare to attack Xia Picheng, but just as Yuan Shu arranged for Ji Ling to lead the golden blood cavalry to pursue Cao Cao, Yuan Shu also ordered a group of soldiers and horses to advance to the Jiangdong Army camp to prevent the Jiangdong Army from interfering in the next siege matters.

Sun Jian was seriously injured and unconscious, although Zhu Zhi, Wu Jing and others had determined that Sun Jian's life was not in danger, but because Sun Jian did not regain consciousness for the time being, the Jiangdong army fell into a situation where the dragons were leaderless.

Under such circumstances, the top level of the Jiangdong Army had a disagreement on their next actions, and Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Ling Cao wanted to lead their troops to give Yuan Shujun a heavy blow when Yuan Shujun attacked Picheng, after all, there are still more than 20,000 soldiers on the side of the Jiangdong Army, and it is not without the strength to fight.

Zhu Zhi and Wu Jing opposed the opinions of Zhou Tai and others, both of them believed that now that Sun Jian was injured and unconscious, the army's morale was already unstable, and if it was forcibly attacked, the variables were too great, and it was possible for the Jiangdong Army to fall into a bottomless abyss.

Although Zhou Tai and others argued on the basis of reason, Zhu Zhi and Wu Jing were the left and right military divisions of the Jiangdong Army this time, and in the case that Sun Jian could not give instructions, the attitude of Zhu Zhi and Wu Jing was to decide where the Jiangdong Army would go next. Therefore, Zhu Zhi and Wu Jing strongly suppressed the fighting spirit of Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ling Cao and others, and decided to immediately pull out the camp and withdraw from the scope of Xiapicheng.

At this time, outside the city of Xiapi, Yuan Shujun defeated Cao's army and Jiangdong army, and morale was high, and it was not wise to fight Yuan Shujun now.

Although Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ling Cao and others were a little reluctant to withdraw, Zhu Zhi and Wu Jing joined forces, and even if they were not satisfied, they could only carry out the order.

Outside the Jiangdong Army barracks, Yuan Shu's general Lu Mian saw the Jiangdong Army that had begun to pull out the camp, suppressed the idea of leading his troops to pursue, and ordered the herald beside him to convey the movements of the Jiangdong Army to Yuan Shu.

Lu Mian only has 3,000 people around him at this time, and there are still more than 20,000 combatable soldiers in the Jiangdong Army, although the morale of the Yuan Shu Army is now flourishing, and the morale of the Jiangdong Army is declining, but Lu Mian also knows the truth that the mourning soldiers will win and the proud soldiers will be defeated, and there are many fierce generals in the Jiangdong Army, although Lu Mian has a good cultivation, but he can feel that the strength in the Jiangdong Army surpasses his more than the number of hands, although he only feels the momentum and does not take a formal face, but Lu Mian still has self-knowledge.

Watching the Jiangdong army pull out of the camp, Lu Mian sighed in his heart, if it was either Xu Chu and Gao Cang who were here at this time, with that strong strength, Lu Mian was confident that he would give the Jiangdong army another heavy blow. It's a pity that Yuan Shu's next focus is Xiapi City, Xu Chu and Gao Cang are by Yuan Shu's side at this time, how can they come outside the Jiangdong Army camp.

No one thought that this Jiangdong Army would withdraw so decisively, if he had known that this was the case, Yuan Shu would have inevitably let Xu Chu or Gao Cang launch a pursuit, and even transfer Ji Ling and the Golden Blood Cavalry back.

It's a pity that Zhu Zhi and Wu Jing's decision was too decisive, allowing the Jiangdong Army to avoid a disaster.

When Yuan Shu got the news that the Jiangdong army had begun to evacuate, the attack on Xiapi City had already begun, and thousands of Yuan Shu soldiers carried ladders, pushed rushing carts, and carried siege rams to attack Xia Picheng.

Although Yuan Shu felt a little pity after getting the news of the Jiangdong Army's withdrawal, he didn't care too much about it, the Jiangdong Army had been defeated, and it was impossible to pose any threat to him.

After receiving the news from Lu Mian's order, Yuan Shu just gave Lu Mian an order, telling him to keep an eye on the Jiangdong Army at all times, and there was no need to pursue, but the necessary vigilance was still necessary, and the Jiangdong Army could not be allowed to kill back again.

After the herald left, Yuan Shu's attention was once again focused on the battlefield in front of him, at this time Yuan Shu's side Xu Chu, Gao Cang, Xu Ding and other generals had not yet been dispatched, but Niu Jin and Xing Daorong led the troops to attack, and at the same time, Yan Xiang, Xun Yue, and Zhao Yan shot together, attracting the power of heaven and earth, attracting countless wind blades and rockets, to attack the city protection array of Xiapi City, weakening the power of this city protection array.

Of course, Yan Xiang and the three of them did not go all out, because Yuan Shu had explained in advance that today's siege was just a trial, and Yuan Shu's real offensive had not yet begun, and the reason why he wanted to attack the city today was to take advantage of the great victory to test the defending strength of Xiapi City and prepare for the next siege.

On the tower of the city gate of Xiapicheng, Chen Deng was dressed in armor and held a long sword, and under the close protection of several personal guards, he constantly issued orders to command and mobilize the Xuzhou army in Xiapi City to guard the city wall.

At this time, Chen Deng and Mi Zhu were the main people in Xiapi City, but Mi Zhu was a businessman after all, and his reputation in Xiapi City was far less than Chen Deng, so the command of most of the soldiers in Xiapi City was controlled by Chen Deng, and correspondingly, the heavy responsibility of defending the city fell on Chen Deng's shoulders.

Chen Deng looked at the battle situation at this time, although Yuan Shujun had not been able to climb the city wall until now, but Chen Deng's face could not see a little joy.

Chen Deng understood that today's siege of Yuan Shu's army was just a temptation, and the really fierce offensive was still to come, and the situation outside Xiapi City Chen Deng was also very clear, he did not expect that the three forces outside Xiapi City would only be left with Yuan Shu's side after the First World War, and the Cao army and Jiangdong Army were all defeated, and it was difficult to affect the situation.

Chen Deng originally had the idea of waiting for the price to sell, after all, Tao Qian had died violently, and there was no need for him Chen Deng to risk his life for a Xiapi city.

As soon as Tao Qian died, Tao Qian's two sons alone were not enough for Chen Deng to serve, and now that Yuan Shu had won a big victory outside Xiapi City, showing his strong strength, Chen Deng felt that maybe the time had come for him to make a choice.

With this thought in his heart, Chen Deng suddenly remembered Mi Zhu.

He can be sure that Mi Zhu also has his own ideas, and unlike himself, Mi Zhu has already had a candidate in his heart, but Chen Deng doesn't know who Mi Zhu has taken refuge into.

At dusk, the sound of Mingjin sounded in Yuan Shu's army, the first day of the siege, the end!
