Although his heart has sunk to the bottom, Xu Chu still has a trace of luck, and he doesn't want to believe that Xu Huang is still fighting with the defenders in the city at the west gate of Wancheng at this time, because according to his estimates, there are more than 10,000 people left in the city, Xu Huang led 40,000 elites, and it was a late-night raid, even if it was a strong attack, it should have captured Wancheng.

But the closer he got, the lower Xu Chu's mood became, and finally, when he saw the siege equipment erected high outside the west gate of Wancheng, and the corpses that had piled up a lot below, he finally understood that Xu Huang had not been able to shake the gate of Wancheng even the slightest.

Although he was already very sad in his heart for himself and the soldiers who died in battle under Xu Huang's command, but as the pioneer of Zhengyin who went out for this expedition, the person directly responsible for the 80,000 army, Xu Chu understood that this was not the time for him to be depressed here, he knew that even if he joined the remaining 20,000 soldiers behind him, the two of them would probably be difficult to take Wancheng in a short time, once they were chased here by the enemy army who had been ambushed on the hill before, they could only cause greater losses under the internal and external attacks. And at this time, there was still more than a day before the arrival of Yang Xiu and Zhang Liao's main forces, and Xu Chu knew that he would definitely not be able to cause greater losses.

So, he left some of the sergeants five miles outside Wancheng to be on guard, in case he was chased by the sergeants on those hills, and he led thousands of tigers and leopards to ride straight to Xu Huang, who was still attacking, Xu Chu saw clearly, the sergeants of Wei were falling from the city almost every second, such a siege method, the damage of the attacking side must be several times that of the defending side, so he wanted Xu Huang to lead the army to withdraw as soon as possible, as for the previous casualties, naturally he could only go.

Before meeting Xu Chu, Xu Huang was blue in his face, and his eyes were full of fire as he commanded his sergeants to do wave after wave of attacks, obviously, since he had made up his mind to attract the attention of most of the defenders in the city to Xu Chu for Xu Chu, he would definitely not give up halfway, otherwise those dead soldiers would really die in vain.

But when Xu Chu's messy hair bun and bloodstained face appeared in front of Xu Huang's eyes, Xu Huang suddenly realized something, his eyes were black at the moment, and he almost fell under his horse, Xu Chu appeared here quite embarrassed, not breaking the door at the east gate, nor having already attacked the city, that can only prove that those soldiers who died in the tragic siege battle really died in vain.

"Gongming, this is not a sad place, quickly withdraw the troops, set up camp twenty miles outside the city, and wait for me to talk about the rest slowly!" As the main general, Xu Chu naturally has more responsibility in his heart, not to mention that he already knew about the fiasco of himself and Xu Huang on the way here.

Under Xu Chu's order, the siege sergeants finally retreated like a tide, but fortunately, because of the previous onslaught, the arrows prepared by the sergeants under Zhao Yun in the city were temporarily exhausted, and there was no time to replenish, which made those Wei soldiers who had already arrived in the city escape when they retreated, but even in this case, the 40,000 troops led by Xu Huang have been lost by more than half, and the losses are far more than Xu Chu, because forcibly attacking the city is equivalent to directly sending the sergeants under his command to the grave in waves.

Next to Xu Huang's pale face in an instant, Xu Chu also told him what happened before.

This time the defeat of the two, so that they had nothing to say for a while, they didn't even know how the two armies came out, and they didn't know whether it was Zhao Yun who commanded in Wancheng, or someone else, they didn't even see a decent general, they suffered defeats in two places, and this was completely avoidable for the two, I have to say, this is the all-round crushing of the two by the defenders in terms of tactics and resourcefulness, so they have no intention of returning to counterattack after losing their troops, who knows that once they act rashly, What kind of defeat awaits you?

"You and me...... It's better to wait for Yang Xiu and General Wenyuan outside the city with peace of mind! In this city, I am afraid that there are not only Zhao Zilong and 50,000 defenders, Liu Feng is so tough this time, obviously even this Nanyang County does not want me to wait, this Wancheng, even if the 200,000 troops of Wei State arrive, it is still inevitable to have a fierce battle. ”

It wasn't until the two of them set up camp more than twenty miles north of Wancheng that Xu Huang came back to his senses a little and told Xu Chu about the situation he had analyzed in his mind when he was silent before.

Listening to Xu Huang's words, Xu Chu could only sigh, even though he wanted to go to Wancheng City now to avenge the previous one-arrow revenge, but he knew that that would only increase casualties, he and Xu Huang had lost half of the elite in just a few hours, and what could the remaining half of the tired soldiers do, just like Xu Huang said, at least they learned that the guards in the city were not as good as they had been before, although such news was exchanged for the blood of more than 40,000 Wei elites.

In the night, Xu Chu and Xu Huang set up the camp, while cautiously sending sergeants to patrol around the camp, in case they encountered another round of surprise attacks by the defenders, and on the other hand, they sent an elite tiger and leopard cavalry team, wanting to quickly send the news here to Yang Xiu and Zhang Liao, otherwise more than 200,000 troops came rolling in but heard such a news, which was a very big blow to morale.

In the same night, Liu Feng and Zhou Yu had already detoured back to Wancheng, and Liu Feng still had a very strong emotion for Wancheng, and the first battle after he came to this era was in the city where Nanyang County was located, and it was precisely because of that battle that he began to emerge under Liu Bei, and the person who stood beside him at that time and adopted his opinions was Zhao Yun.

"How much did Zilong damage in the city this time?" Just returned to the house, and before the clothes and armor on his body could be removed, Liu Feng saw Zhao Yun with a tired look on his face, and immediately asked.

When he returned, he had already seen the corpses piled up in the west of the city and the blood on the ground, what kind of offensive and defensive battles had happened here, how could Liu Feng not know in his heart.

"Except for the loss of nearly 3,000 soldiers who were killed by the Wei soldiers in the later period, there was not much damage, but the things originally prepared to defend the city were almost half consumed this time, if the 200,000 troops behind Xu Chu and the others arrived in the city, I am afraid they would be overstretched." Zhao Yun is telling the truth, if he uses all the utensils to defend the city tonight, maybe the soldiers under Xu Huang's command will not be able to attack the city wall, but Zhao Yun will not do such a thing of killing chickens and taking eggs.
