The artillery was blazing in the sky, and the wails were everywhere.

When the war comes, families are ruined and wives are separated at all times.

Liu Bei lamented that some of the dead soldiers were the people of Jingzhou, and some of them came from distant Hanzhong with ********.

The population of Hanzhong is already sparse, in order to facilitate Guan Yu's governance in Hanzhong, Liu Bei left 10,000 soldiers and horses brought by Jingzhou to Guan Yu, but what he brought was the original Hanzhong recruited soldiers and horses.

As the artillery fire continued, the walls finally began to collapse.

It was not only the city wall that collapsed, but also Liu Bei's ambition over the years and the arrogance in Zhuge Kongming's heart.

"Lord, quickly remove the soldiers and horses on the city wall, you can't do anything!" Kong Ming finally advised that if this continued, the army and horses would not even have a chance to fight the enemy, and they would be lost.

Liu Bei had no choice but to send orders to all gates, retreat with the whole army, and gather at Xiling Square.

Zhang Fei angrily led the troops back, this was the saddest battle he fought, he only saw the opponent's soldiers and horses from a distance, and did not fight, and the soldiers and horses on his side were already almost half missing.

Zhao Yun and Wei Yan each led their troops to the square, Liu Bei gathered to discuss the matter, and the artillery fire outside the city did not stop.

Yang Xi's general order is very clear that the Xiling city wall no longer needs to exist.

Although the account was raised, Liu Bei was indifferent, and Kong Ming had to speak first.

"Generals, you can't do anything now, only one way to break through, which general is willing to lead the army to the front?"

Before the battle, they said that they were going to break through, and Zhang Zhaowei and the three of them couldn't accept it, which couldn't be accepted.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Kong Ming continued: "Today, the army has suffered serious losses in horses, and there are less than 20,000 capable fighters. Therefore, the generals should abandon their baggage and wounded and make every effort to break through the siege, so as to keep the fire and wait for him to come back one day. ”

Zhang Fei shouted: "The military division is like a god, there are still 20,000 people in our army who can fight, and they can still fight, I am willing to be the vanguard and take the head of the enemy general in the army!" ”

Kong Ming smiled slightly bitterly, what kind of use of soldiers is like a god, he even suspected that his acquisition of Xiling City was a part of the enemy's strategy, but this matter could not be said.

"General Yide is brave and brave, and he is a fierce general in the world, but at the moment, the main public security should be the first priority. His army was well-equipped, and not a single soldier had yet been moved, but the morale was high. After this defeat, our army has long lost its morale, and General Zhang looked outside, how could all the soldiers be broken and fight again. It would be a great blessing if we could keep these 20,000 troops and horses today. ”

At this time, Liu Bei finally made up his mind, so he gave the order.

"With Zhang Fei and Wei Yan as the front, leading the army out of the north gate, leading the army to break through, Zhao Yun as the back road, leading 5,000 soldiers and horses to break off, prepare to lead the Chinese army, thinking that the strategy is to retreat to the north, not to the land and not to repair."

Liu Bei sent an order to go down, and each general went down to rectify the military horses. When Zhang Fei and Wei Yan led the army to the north gate, the city tower and the city gate were long gone, and only the intermittent city wall stood with potholes.

"Kill!"

Zhang Fei and Wei Yan led the left and right roads, each rushed out from the gap in the city wall, walked twenty or thirty zhang, and the crossbow arrows shot like rain, Zhang Fei and Wei Yan just ignored it, and let the people behind them turn over on their backs, only leading the charge.

The general guarding the north gate was Lu Meng, who was already twenty-seven years old at this time, but he was young and old, and he knew that his weakness was not high in combat power.

But Childe has long taught that as a general, the leader is the first, and the combat power is the last.

Lü Meng sat in the rear army, commanded Ruoding on the chariot, Zhang Fei and Wei Yan rushed over, they had already been greeted by the crossbow with all their might, where could the two parry so many crossbows, the soldiers behind them lay down in pieces, Wei Yan's horse was hit by an arrow, fortunately the generals behind him intercepted it, and Fang did not fall off the horse.

Wei Yan hurriedly changed to a dead war horse of his master, and led his troops to join Zhang Fei. Liu Bei led the Chinese army to see that a large part of the front army had fallen, and the flaws were about to crack, so he led the troops to rush out together, and Zhao Yun finally led the army to jump out.

The defenders of the east and west gates had already learned the news, Zhou Tai and Mao Luan each led their headquarters and killed them left and right, Liu Bei was shocked, but it was not the time to be angry at this time, so he hurriedly and Kong Ming and the two of them, destroyed the horse to catch up with Zhang Fei, and fled north.

60,000 soldiers and horses surrounded and killed, Zhang Fei and other generals no matter how powerful, and can kill a few people, often just want to kill the killer, there are cold arrows to shoot, accidentally, Zhang Fei is in the right arm of the arrow, had to change the Zhangba snake spear to the left hand.

Seeing Zhang Fei's crisis, Liu Bei rushed from behind with Kong Ming and Liu Qi, and shouted: "The third brother just rushes forward, don't pay attention to the other party's soldiers and horses, this matter is in crisis, and it is important to save your life." ”

Saying that, Liu Bei and Kong Ming rushed out, and Zhang Fei and Wei Yan also led dozens of soldiers and horses to kill, leaving only Zhao Yun behind.

When Zhao Yun looked back, there were dense military horses, surrounding the headquarters, where could he still get away, but Zhao Yun had a good horse, and when he rushed forward, he was single-handedly killed out of a gap and looked at the north mountain.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Bei gathered the remnants of the army, and when he learned that only more than 300 people had escaped, he immediately cried loudly. Fortunately, the sons Liu Qi, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others were all fine, only Zhang Fei was shot in the right arm, which was only slightly injured.

After waiting for another hour, the sky became darker and darker, and when the remnants of the army were seven or eight hundred, Liu Bei set off overnight and fled to Anlu.

Lü Meng and other leading troops to kill Liu Bei, capture his military horses, and let him stay in the city wounded soldiers, under statistics, a total of more than 30,000 people, then more than 10,000 wounded soldiers were sent to treatment, the city hospital, the army medicine shed full.

Another three dogs led the spy battalion and sent the list, but Mao Luan handed over the list to the Public Security Bureau and asked it to be handled as a civilian. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and there are always some people who are not determined in the team, but generally the son does things according to the rules and handles things within a reasonable range, Mao Luan has already learned.

But what should be punished still has to be punished, in this case, there is a case in the Chenhe Code, the leader is indispensable for ten years and eight years, even the follower, and at least one or two years of labor reform, this is not something that Mao Luan wants to interfere in.

Huang Jie looked at the broken walls of Xiling City, silent, and said: "You don't have to blame yourself, people have misses, and horses have stumbled." Although it was lost for a while, it may not be a good thing, Gongzi sent a letter, saying that after this battle, if you hand over the remaining 3,000 soldiers and horses in your hands to the war zone, then please be the magistrate of Xiling County, it is the new Xiling County, and follow the road of Chenhe City. If you want to join the army, Gongzi will give you the rank of major general, and you are still in my war zone. ”

Huang Jie's eyes flashed and said: "Just kidding, you are stupid to me, my commander, how risky it is to be a soldier, I will definitely choose the first one." Originally, the military and the government were divided, I was a special case, the son was just hard to say, now that such a thing happened, where am I embarrassed to take this private army, what about you, I will manage Xiling well, and in the future, I may be able to upgrade Xiling to the county level, then it is a! ”

Huang Jie learned from the pain and decided to run the place with one mind, he was really not bragging, a few years later, Xiling was really upgraded to Xiling County, and Huang Jie at that time presided over the world's largest bridge repair siege at that time.

That bridge, which connects Xiling and Wuchang, spans both sides of the Yangtze River and connects the east bank of the Han River with the land of Wuchang, and is known as the Wuxi Yangtze River Bridge.

In order to commend Huang Jie's merits, the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce shaped a bronze statue of Huang Jie at the exit of the Xiling of the Yangtze River Bridge in Wuxi for future generations to admire.

These are all later words, but at this time, Liu Bei went to Anlu with a smoke, and at the same time, he did not forget to order someone to inform Lao Cao of the war, which was also considered benevolent and righteous.

Liu Bei's timely battle report was simply a reassuring pill for Cao Cao, and with this battle report, Cao Cao knew that the north of Xiangyang was decided.
