Wang Liuyi gritted his teeth and ordered loudly: "Withdraw, soldiers, withdraw quickly." After speaking, he took the lead and broke through.

More than half of the Zhao army on the eastern slope suffered casualties, and the defense line was also torn apart, but the remaining soldiers were still struggling to resist, and there was no trend of large-scale rout, not only because they were fierce and good at fighting, but more importantly, their main force had been killed up the mountain, as long as they struggled to persevere, they could drag some of the Jin soldiers and horses, providing opportunities for the encirclement and annihilation of the main army.

The Sixth Army of Kings had to pay the price of their lives every step forward, but the soldiers, driven by the powerful survival **, still stubbornly fought with the entangled Zhao army.

"Don't fall in love with the battle, soldiers, go all out to break through." Wang Liuda shouted and reminded the soldiers to evacuate quickly and disengage from the Zhao army.

The soldiers fought and left, and the main force soon disengaged from the Zhao army, but there were still more than 1,000 people entangled by the Zhao army and could not get out.

After continuous bloody battles, Wang Liu understood the fierce combat power of Yao Gezhong's soldiers and horses, he knew that he could not save these besieged soldiers, in order to save the main force, he had to order to continue to retreat.

"Little general, you see, most of the Jin army has broken through our defense line, and they are fleeing." A subordinate reminded Yao Xiang.

Yao Xiang saw that the main force of the Sixth Army of the King had broken through the encirclement, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he originally planned to completely annihilate this army, but now it seems that it is impossible, but it cannot let the Jin army retreat calmly, at least it must be pursued for a while to expand the results of the battle.

"Pass the order, let the soldiers pursue ten miles and strangle the Jin army." Yao Xiang ordered loudly.

"Yes, little general." The subordinates responded, then turned around and shouted: "Soldiers, chase and kill the Jin army, kill ......"

Yao Xiang's men and horses launched a fierce pursuit of the Jin army that broke through, and at the same time, the main general Yao Gezhong also issued an order to pursue and kill the Jin army.

The Zhao army and horses pursued with all their might, which put a lot of pressure on the Wang Sixth Army who had just broken out, the mountain road was rugged and difficult to travel, and it was difficult for thousands of men and horses to retreat quickly, so Wang Liu decided to break into pieces, disperse and break out, and then converge.

Wang Liu roughly estimated that there were 8,000 men and horses, and only 5,000 men and horses broke out of the encirclement, so he divided the 5,000 men and horses into ten teams, each team of 500 people, scattered along the mountain road to break through, and agreed to meet at the horse ranch in the rear.

After the dispersion of the Sixth Army of Wang, the speed of retreat was significantly increased, and the pursuing Zhao army was soon thrown off a large part.

"Father." Yao Xiang rode his horse to Yao Gezhong's side and said hello.

Yao Gezhong looked at his son with satisfaction and praised: "My son is clever, the Jin army really fell into the ambush of our army, haha!" ”

Yao Xiang smiled indifferently and said softly: "It's a pity that the Jin army broke out of the encirclement, and our army failed to completely annihilate its main force." ”

"It's all my father's fault, my father was too light on the enemy, and only a small number of troops were deployed on the east and west slopes, so that the Jin army took advantage of the loopholes!" Yao Gezhong felt a little guilty in his heart.

Yao Xiang saw that his father blamed himself and felt that he should not complain about not being able to completely annihilate the Jin army, so he comforted: "Father don't have to regret, the Jin army has been defeated, and the most urgent task of our army at the moment is to capture Jiankang City. ”

"Well, my son has a point." Yao Gezhong nodded, and ordered loudly: "Order, Mingjin withdraws his troops." ”

"Knock knock knock ......" The herald struck the gong vigorously, spreading the crisp sound far away, and the soldiers of the Zhao army who heard the sound of the gold all stopped the pursuit and returned as fast as possible.

After the whole army and horses were assembled, Yao Gezhong looked at the north and said softly: "Xiang'er, the granary of the Jin army is in front, I heard that there are enough millions of denier military rations in it, since our army has already arrived here, why not simply break through the granary of the Jin army, so that the million denier military rations in it are the trophies of our army."

When Yao Xiang heard this, he tried his best to stop it: "Father, there is no need to be like this at all, at the Wuhu ferry, the military rations captured by our army have been transported to the vicinity of the capital, this batch of military rations is enough to feed our army for more than a month, our army has no worries about running out of food, there is no need to attack the granary of the Jin army, besides, the granary of the Jin army has nearly 1,000 guards, and attacking the granary is bound to delay time, which will delay the progress of our army's attack on Jiankang City, after our army enters the south of the Yangtze River, as long as we cannot capture Jiankang City, even if we get more loot, no matter how many Jin soldiers and horses are eliminated, it will be meaningless. ”

"The million-denier military rations you got were just given up?" Yao Gezhong seemed to be a little reluctant in his heart.

Yao Xiang hurriedly persuaded: "Father, our army can't forget the mission of crossing the river for the sake of greedy small profits!" Jin general Wang Liu is greedy for small profits, so as to be surrounded by our army, we must not repeat the mistakes of the past, because of the attack on the Jin army granary and let the defenders of Jiankang City have enough time to prepare, our army must quickly break through Jiankang City, so as not to have many dreams at night. ”

Yao Gezhong breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "Okay, just listen to my son, the whole army and horses immediately marched towards Jiankang City, preparing to attack the city." ”

"The father is wise, and the child will prepare." Yao Xiang clenched his fists and rode forward to give orders.

Soon, Yao Gezhong's main army set off one after another, pressing towards Jiankang City.

######

Five miles outside Jiankang City, the camp owner of Wang Liuda, who was responsible for guarding the camp, did not see the main army return for a long time, and he was very anxious, he was about to send scouts to investigate, but he saw dust and smoke rising in the distance, and it seemed that a large number of men and horses were approaching.

"Battalion master, it must be the general who defeated the Zhao army and returned triumphantly." One of the pro-soldiers speculated.

Seeing this, the battalion owner's nervous heart suddenly relaxed a lot, but as this group of people approached, his heart rose to his throat again, and the people and horses that were approaching were not Wang Liu's main force at all, but the army of Zhao State, which could be seen from the banner in the sky.

"Battalion master, how can it seem to be the men and horses of the Zhao army, the main force of our army? Did you encounter a ......?" the pro-soldiers did not dare to say any more.

The battalion owner frowned, and said worriedly: "Just now, the general was reinforcing the direction of the granary from this road, but at this time, the main force of the Zhao army is coming from here, could it be that the general has encountered an accident." ”

When the soldiers beside him heard this, they were all taken aback.

"Battalion master, Zhao soldiers and horses are nearly 20,000, and they are approaching in the direction of our camp, and our army only has 1,000 soldiers, what should I do, hold on or retreat?" The pro-soldier team next to him asked.

"Battalion master, if the main force of the Zhao army launches an attack, our army will definitely not be able to hold the big camp with a few thousand men and horses, or it is safer to retreat." A brigade commander built yì road.

"Battalion master, maybe the general's main force and the main force of the Zhao army are staggered, our army retreats to the north gate, and after meeting with the general's main force, we will make plans." Another brigade commander built yì said.
