The golden gong sounded.

The soldiers of the Qin army, who were attacking the city, also heard it clearly, very loudly.

Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai, who commanded the soldiers to attack the city, also heard it very clearly, and were stunned for a moment, then reacted, and then ordered the soldiers of the Qin army who were besieging the city to retreat.

There was no hesitation.

They also knew the plan they had made, and it would be best if they could take Nanyang City in one battle, but if they couldn't, they had to follow the plan.

Find out the defense situation of Nanyang City first, and then make plans.

What's more, it was Qin Yin who was the commander on their side, and the order to collect the troops was obviously given by Qin Yin, and they would not disobey Qin Yin's order.

In addition, with 30,000 soldiers and horses, it is indeed very difficult to take Nanyang City, which is guarded by more than 100,000 Jingzhou troops.

It's also difficult to do.

Soon.

The soldiers of the Qin army who were attacking the city did not continue to rush towards the siege ladder, and the soldiers of the Qin army who were still below quickly withdrew towards the camp of the Qin army.

And the soldiers of the Qin army, who had already climbed the ladder, also slipped down quickly and did not continue to climb towards the city wall.

The soldiers of the Qin army who pushed the giant tree against the city gate also did not continue to push the giant tree, and jumped off the siege vehicle one after another, and those who walked back did not push the siege vehicle back.

Because there is no longer that need, although the hanging giant wood can still be pushed, but the rest of the siege vehicle has many places destroyed by fire, even if it is pushed back, it will need to be overhauled to push it back for use, and they have more than one siege vehicle, so there is no need.

Moreover, if the siege vehicle is returned, it will also be attacked by the Jingzhou army on the city wall, and the gains outweigh the losses.

So just abandon this half-scrapped siege engine.

The soldiers of the Qin army who attacked the city retreated, leaving only a mess, and there was a smell of gunsmoke everywhere, and those siege ladders were still built on the side of the city wall, and they were not taken away.

As the Qin army retreated.

The attack of the Jingzhou army on the city wall has also weakened, and it is no longer as raining arrows as before, and the archers of the Qin army have not continued to shoot arrows at them.

The same is a sigh of relief.

Although they occupy a favorable terrain and can be condescending, as long as the Qin army does not climb the city wall, or break through the city gate, only the archers of the Qin army have a big threat to them, and the rest of the threats are not very big, but seeing the momentum of the Qin army's siege of the city, they still feel depressed for a while.

If it weren't for Liu Biao personally commanding on the city wall, I don't know if they would have been able to fight to stop the Qin army from landing on the city?

Wait until Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai withdraw with the besieging Qin army.

Qin Yin glanced at the city wall, then waved his hand and said, "Go back to the camp!" ”

After speaking.

He pulled the reins of his horse, turned his horse's head, and prepared to lead the army away.

Although this battle was just a trial, their side did not get any benefits, but only figured out some situations.

At this time, he only temporarily withdrew his troops, but he did not give up and captured Nanyang City.

It has reached such a point that there is no chance of relief between him and Liu Biao, and Liu Biao is not wearing the woman's clothes that he asked the master to bring back.

Of course, even if he wears it, he won't stop it.

Under Qin Yin's orders.

The arriving Qin army also retreated towards the Qin army camp in an orderly manner, and did not continue to stay here.

However, Qin Yin did not forget some things.

Leaving 500 soldiers here, ready to wait until they leave, and then clean up the battlefield, the corpses of the Qin soldiers who died in the battle still need to be recovered and resettled.

And these 500 soldiers will not go with weapons.

Under normal circumstances, the enemy army will not do anything to the soldiers cleaning the battlefield, which can be regarded as an unspoken rule.

Of course, there are also special circumstances, which are still relatively rare.

Seeing the Qin army retreating outside the city.

Liu Biao, whose clothes and armor were a little messy on the city wall, also breathed a sigh of relief.

After the Qin army left, there were still hundreds of soldiers of the Qin army in black clothes and black armor, who did not hold weapons, pushed carts one after another, and approached the city wall, and he also knew what these soldiers of the Qin army were here for.

And he's not a ruthless figure.

did not order to attack the Qin soldiers who were left to clean the battlefield, and even if they wiped out all the hundreds of Qin soldiers, it would not have much effect.

It will also anger Qin Yin because of this.

In the same way, it will make the soldiers under his command have thoughts about him.

"Let the soldiers clean up the battlefield and count the losses, now that the Qin army has retreated, I don't know when it will come back, step up the rest, and replenish the arrows and stones used to defend the city!" Liu Biao commanded Kuai Yue.

He knew that the Qin army was only temporarily retreating, and he would still come back.

However, during this time, they can also kick their breath, replenish their supplies, and prepare for the next battle.

"No!"

Kuai Yue also understands this truth, and has no objection to Liu Biao's arrangement.

Now they are only holding the first round of attacks of the Qin army, and they don't know how long they will hold out, and only by driving the Qin army out of Jingzhou can they say that they have won.

Otherwise, it's far from over.

The five hundred soldiers of the Qin army who did not hold weapons under the city also pushed the cart and approached under the city wall, and seeing that the Jingzhou army had no idea of attacking, they also began to clean up the battlefield.

There was nothing to clean, just the bodies of the Qin soldiers who died in the battle were carried onto the cart and placed, which was also something they had to bring back.

As for the rest, it is not what they need.

Weapons or something, and I didn't want to pack them up.

Bringing back the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle and placing them properly is the task they need to do now.

Of course, Qin Yin didn't have the idea of letting them come to their deaths, once the Jingzhou army had the idea of attacking, they would immediately evacuate and no longer stay to clean up the battlefield.

It's not that we don't plan to continue to recover the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle, it's just that we have to wait.

Now it seems.

Liu Biao didn't get to that point, at least they came over to clean up the battlefield, although there were people in the Jingzhou army who were staring at them, but there was no attack, just guarding against their small movements.

The city and the city are all busy and do not interfere with each other.

After some time.

The soldiers of the Qin army who had finished cleaning also pushed the cart away, but when they came, it was empty, and when they returned, it was full of things, which were the corpses of the soldiers of the Qin army who died in this battle.

There were only a lot of weapons, flags, and a lot of blood left in the same place.
