Four hundred and seventy-six fled
After escaping back to the city, Liu Zhang was no longer in pursuit, and to break the city, earth cannons and mortars were needed, and it was a bit of a waste of the car's ability to hit it with a steam car. As Liu Bei's soldiers entered the city, Zhang Ren also began to collect his troops, there is no point in fighting at the moment, and it will be enough to attack the city tomorrow.
Liu Zhang stayed on the battlefield and waited for them to come back, and Liu Zhang did not participate in the pursuit of this kind of thing. A lot of soldiers died on the battlefield, most of them were Liu Bei's soldiers, so Liu Zhang found that in addition to earning some dead horse corpses and the little metal on the heads of some weapons, it seemed that he had lost money again. Liu Bei has been recuperating for so many years, and he doesn't seem to have made much progress?
At this time, Ma Tie took the lead in leading the team back: "The lord Zhang Fei ran to our camp outside the night to ambush, when I led the troops back, he fought with our soldiers left behind, the military camp was half lit by him, and now the fire has been extinguished, and the two ladies are also safe and sound, and the soldiers we left behind have killed nearly a thousand people." Ma Tie hurriedly said that there were more than 5,000 soldiers left behind in the camp, which was enough to protect the safety of Zhen Mi and Zou Fu, and by the way, they could also kill the enemy.
Liu Zhang frowned and said, "Did that Zhang Fei run away?" How many people have we died? "Is this guy really coming to attack his own camp? This MMP Liu Bei is really shameless.
Ma Tie hurriedly said: "When I led my troops over, Zhang Fei's cavalry had already killed and wounded most of them, and we also lost more than 400 people. Zhang Fei saw our rescue and immediately ran away, and after we chased and killed the remaining part of the cavalry, Zhang Fei ran away. The supplies in the city are okay, the two ladies arranged it very well, and we didn't lose too much. Both of them are talented women, and they often follow Liu Zhang and do not panic when they encounter this situation, and calmly command the firefighting and delivery of supplies.
"This Zhang Fei is really not a good thing, I knew that he would definitely sneak up on me. This black-faced man will kill him the next time we meet. Liu Zhang reserved his own soldiers, just to prevent Liu Bei, who liked to sneak attack. Now it seems that Liu Bei did sneak attack, although he didn't hurt himself, he was still disgusted by himself.
"Lord, we can break the city tomorrow, and when the time comes, we will capture that Zhang Fei alive." When Ma Tie went back, he didn't fight Zhang Fei, but he let that Zhang Fei run away in vain. In his opinion, this is a great credit for running away inexplicably, which makes him very angry.
"Collect the troops, let's talk about it tomorrow. Go back and get some rest, and prepare to break the city tomorrow. Liu Zhang was a little angry, and he just talked about it casually. I didn't expect Zhang Fei to really appreciate his face so much, and he went directly to attack his rear? Fortunately, because he didn't have the determination to attack the city, otherwise his empty camp would really be burned down.
Liu Zhang withdrew, Liu Bei was also relieved, he was a little worried that Liu Zhang would attack the city desperately, and they would definitely be slaughtered in this state. When he arrived in the city, Liu Bei had already woken up, but he didn't want to speak. When Xu Shu and the others arrived, Liu Bei said weakly: "How many soldiers have we died?" ”
Xu Shu was a little bitter: "For more than half an hour, we died nearly fifteen thousand soldiers, and Liu Zhang did not pursue us but withdrew." Let's pack up tonight and leave here to go to Yecheng, there is no need to defend the state. ”
Liu Bei took a breath and said: "Let's retreat, then we can't beat Liu Zhang at all, let's see what Cao Cao does when we go back." Liu Bei always remembered what kind of mentality he had when the chariot rushed out of the soldiers. It was a feeling of explosion, and the endless strange things finally made Liu Bei unbearable.
Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were a little indifferent for a while, and at this time Zhang Fei finally ran back. Afraid of meeting Liu Zhang on the road deliberately detoured a long way, Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he came back at this time: "Big brother, I burned Liu Zhang's camp, Liu Zhang will definitely not come to attack us tonight, and he may not be ...... tomorrow" After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he found that the atmosphere in the room was a little wrong, and the eldest brother and the second brother and even the military advisor were not excited to hear the news one by one?
"Big brother, second brother... What's wrong? Zhang Fei touched his head, what's the situation?
Liu Bei sighed and said, "The third brother didn't go to the battlefield today, so Liu Zhang didn't know that he had come up with a steel chariot that could run on his own without horses. That thing was on a rampage across the battlefield, and many of our soldiers were crushed to death. Speaking of this, Liu Bei had a miserable feeling.
"When you went to burn Liu Zhang's camp today, he already knew about it. When we were on the battlefield, Liu Zhang had already said that he would give me back this thing. The telescope was handed to Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei said how to use it.
Zhang Fei fiddled with it in the room for a long time, muttering: "This thing clairvoyant, no wonder Liu Zhang will never be ambushed by us." Is the kind of steel monster that the big brother said really scary? "There is a lack of imagination in his head, and Zhang Fei naturally can't imagine what it is.
"The third brother went to command, let the soldiers gather up the supplies, we will leave tonight, pile up some firewood in the city, and prepare to burn here." Liu Zhang's march was too fast, and we had to stop them from going too fast. "After occupying the state for more than a year, Liu Bei has not experienced a major defeat and is about to give up here.
Zhang Fei opened his mouth, he was very unwilling, but the eldest brother had spoken, and he couldn't say anything. Guan Yu on the side has been gloomy and doesn't speak, and it seems that he is in an extremely bad mood. Although he didn't know what was going on, the second brother was obviously very unhappy. Zhang Fei went out to ask the soldiers to pack up and prepare to leave here at night.
The atmosphere in the room was very strange, and it was only at night that Liu Bei recovered. Even if he is a hard-minded person, he still has some uncomfortable reactions. Now Liu Bei has accepted the reality, Liu Zhang is so strong, but he still has to face him, and even find a way to defeat him, which makes Liu Bei very embarrassed.
"It's night, let's get ready to leave. Although Liu Zhang is strong, after all, we still have a chance without unification. I always believe that it is benevolence and righteousness that can save the Han Dynasty, rather than relying on any businessman to save the world. Liu Bei once felt that his concept was wrong, but now he still has to stick to his own philosophy.
The army has been prepared, and the morale is extremely low, but I heard that it is to escape, and the soldiers are still very willing. Liu Zhang was so terrible that the soldiers didn't want to face it. Looking at the firewood piled up in the city, as well as the few remaining people, Liu Bei was ready to take it away. Of course, they don't want to go, Liu Bei can't manage them, let them fend for themselves.
"It's lit, let's go." Liu Bei felt that this was a strategic retreat, and it was not a shame at all.
As the fire in the city raged, Liu Bei and the others left here sadly. Liu Bei looked down on Liu Zhang back then, but he just felt that Liu Zhang was blessed. But now that he has been beaten like this, Liu Bei can only say that he left this sad place silently.
Liu Zhang got up in the middle of the night and looked at the burning distance. Even from such a distance, Liu Zhang saw the fire in the night sky. Zhang Ren has already sent someone to investigate, and the specific situation will not be known until he returns. Liu Zhang maliciously guessed, was Zhang Fei happy to set the fire, and then set his own city on fire?
Zou Fu on the side walked over with a cloak: "The general is late at night, it's cold outside, go and wait in the house, right?" "Today, they behaved very well, in the face of a strong enemy, two people were not afraid, and they commanded the soldiers a little and saved a lot of supplies.
Liu Zhang touched his chin and said, "It doesn't matter, is Liu Bei sick?" I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and I ordered my own nest? ”
Zhen Mi, who walked by as she said this, couldn't help but laugh: "The general is really good at laughing." The chair was moved and placed outside, and Liu Zhang sat outside since he didn't want to go in.
After Liu Zhang sat down, he said: "Who knows, Liu Bei's house is on fire before the war starts on my side, and I plan to break the city tomorrow and go in to take a look." The three brothers of Liu Bei are particularly affectionate, I still want to see how they are affectionate? "Liu Zhang wants to tie these three people together, I don't know who will do it first?
The scout sent by Zhang Ren had already returned: "The lord Liu Bei has withdrawn, but he has set the entire city on fire." There were thousands of people left behind outside the city who were unwilling to leave...... "Zhang Ren was also a little speechless, is this Liu Bei really ruthless?" How did you set the city on fire, and then just run away?
Liu Zhang was also a little dumbfounded and said, "Liu Bei just ran away?" I thought he was very capable and could hold out for a long time? Why can't it just hit this little bit? I thought we could fight for four or five days in a row, and then Liu Bei would run away if he couldn't bear it in the end? Didn't expect to run away so soon? "How much does Liu Zhang think he can resist, or is it interesting?
Zhang Ren smiled bitterly: "Lord, we killed more than 10,000 people in Liu Bei today, and we lost no more than 1,000 people. The chariot is so terrifying, I'm afraid we have to stop cooking, right? To put it bluntly, these people are still afraid because of these unknown things, and Liu Zhang feels that if he is himself, there are many ways to crack this thing.
To put it bluntly, I am afraid because I don't understand, and if I understand, I won't be afraid. However, it is okay if Liu Bei leaves, and Bingzhou himself can take over, but the Xianbei people here are a little troublesome, and if he wants to be here, he will probably have to make a good transformation to prevent the Xianbei people in Yunzhong County from coming over. Yanmen Pass is not far from here, and the Great Wall has been built a lot, but it has never been able to perfectly defend against these foreigners.
"Go and fetch the people back, and give them a place to stay tonight, and we'll have a look in the city tomorrow." Zhongda here, you are ready to accept Jinyang, the first thing is to be careful of the alien race here. The Great Wall is very close to here, and the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei people may go south at any time, and they may not know what is going on inside us. Maybe he listened to Cao Cao's words and directly launched an attack on us. "Liu Zhang only fought with a Xianbei person in Xiliang a few years ago, and this is a Xianbei nest, so you must be careful.
