Guys order a few minutes later.,Wait for me to fix the typo==

+++++++++++++++++++

Tan Zong finally decided to withdraw from the army.

It's not that I'm afraid of Jin reinforcements, and it's not that I can't really capture Yongzhou, but now the morale of the army in the Jiaozhi camp is floating, and there is no food and grass, and if the fight continues, 80,000 soldiers will starve.

Tan Zong is not Li Fuzai, he does not have the prestige of Li Fuzai, nor does he have the power of Li Fuzai, if he insists on fighting Yongzhou, once there is any mistake, he will not be able to bear the responsibility for the follow-up.

He could only retreat.

It's just that although you want to retreat, you can't retreat brutally.

Although Tan Zong is not as good at using troops as Li Fuzai, he has also fought a lot of battles, so he naturally knows that as long as he is not careful when he retreats, he will be pursued by the Jin people and harvest his head again.

The spies sent out were soon returned.

The thousands of cavalry that the Jin people came to the rescue from the north did not return to the city, but were stationed less than three miles south of the city, facing each other from Yongzhou City, covering each other.

Tan Zong did not dare to do any more chaotic life, let alone do any night attacks and sneak attacks, and only arranged for the left wing and the right wing to send 10,000 soldiers and horses to break off, and after looking for half the night, he led the army to retreat in a hurry.

In order to make a situation, he also led 3,000 soldiers with his cronies, making a feint attack, lest the Jin people find out that there was no intention of fighting in the Jiaozhi camp, and arranged for Li Fuzai to sail back to the court, and his own family led the soldiers to return by land.

Tan Zongcai walked less than ten miles away, and was about to climb the mountain, when there was already a commotion in front of him - less than two miles away, there was a sudden fire in the sky, blocking the team and not going further.

The generals commanding in front had already loudly ordered their soldiers to line up, but before they could change formations, countless arrows began to shoot down from the mountains on both sides.

There are many mountains in Quang Nam, and although the Jiaozhi soldiers are walking on the official road, it is also a mountain road, and the distance from the halfway slope to the road is only thirty or fifty paces.

Tan Zong heard the voice, and was about to rejoice in his heart that the other party was not a divine arm bow, and it was not a wooden feather arrow that was shot down, and there were already screams in front of him.

- It's only thirty or fifty steps, where do you need a divine arm bow!

The arrows were like locusts, shooting out from the slopes on both sides, and taking advantage of the defenselessness in the Cochin array, they soon tied the Cochin soldiers who had not been well dodged into big hedgehogs everywhere, and shot down a large area.

Tan Zong hurriedly ordered people to hold their shields up the mountain to besiege them, but then everyone walked a few steps with their shields, and countless logs and stones had already rolled down the mountain, preventing everyone from going up the mountain.

After a delay for half a day, the fire in front was finally extinguished, and before the soldiers could move forward, there was a sound of iron hooves behind them.

- Cavalry again!

Tan Zong didn't care about where the soldiers he left behind died, why he didn't stop these cavalrymen coming from behind, he only knew that there was chaos in the queue, and the soldiers could hear the sound of the horses' hooves, and no matter whether they arrived in front of them or not, they were already squeezing forward indiscriminately.

The soldiers in the formation trampled on each other, and they had long since formed a queue.

Tan Zong hurriedly gathered the team, while piling up the baggage behind the people to stop the cavalry from coming forward, while hurriedly urging people to go forward, and then sent troops up the slopes on both sides, first attacking the Jin soldiers who were originally ambushed on the hillside, and then finding the high ground to shoot arrows downward.

After tossing for a long time, it was easy to get out of the body, and it was only a few miles forward, only to hear the sound of shouting and killing in front of me, the sound of iron hooves—I don't know where a bunch of cavalry came from.

There were only a few thousand people in front of Jiaozhi, and they were surrounded in front of them, and at this time they were already panicking, not looking at anything, not caring about anything, only knowing how to flee indiscriminately and dodge in all directions.

Tan Zong was calm in the end, and soon found that the front was just a bluff, at most one or two hundred people, and tens of thousands of troops on his side, although it was difficult to play due to the terrain, he would not be disturbed by this little cavalry, and when he commanded the soldiers to step forward to support, the cavalry in front had already fled far away.

Like this, while retreating, while being chased away by all kinds of soldiers of the Jin people, Jiaozhi was chased and lost his armor, although it was not defeated, but it was a real loss of soldiers.

Everyone retreated for more than 30 miles, and when the Jin cavalry came to chase after them, the whole battalion finally breathed a sigh of relief, and waited until Tan Zong gathered his soldiers and found a place to set up camp, and before he could bury the pot to make food, there was a shout of killing outside, and countless rockets were shot into the camp.

When Tan Zong ordered his soldiers to go out of the camp to chase after him, the people fled far away.

From the beginning to the end, except for the first time when the number of cavalry chasing from the back was larger, when there were thousands, the rest of the cavalry was only two or three hundred at most, but it was to disturb the tens of thousands of troops in Jiaozhi, when they were on the road, they came to sneak attack when they were resting, but they sat down on the horses, came without a trace, and went without a trace, even if they were prepared in advance, they were still helpless.

It was easy to wait for Tan Zong to find a way, and the special people were ambushed outside, each with a shield, a longbow, and a spear, ready to give the other party a blow to the head - who would have expected that from this time on, the cavalry would be nowhere to be found.

In the Jiaozhi camp, they were beaten to the point that they had no temper, and everyone was thinking of retreating, and they all had no intention of fighting, and they just wanted to go back.

In this way, he retreated and fought, panicked all the way, and finally withdrew from the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, and finally arrived at Guangyuan Prefecture, which was nearly 130,000 troops when he set off, and there were less than 70,000 people left - among them, less than half of them were killed and injured by the Jin people, and the rest either trampled on each other or fled halfway.

Seeing that the situation in the camp was like this, Tan Zong had to grit his teeth and organize the camp formation, forcibly requisition the grain and straw in Guangyuan Prefecture, and honestly led the troops back to the court.

Others knocked out their teeth and swallowed blood, but he not only had to swallow his teeth with blood, but also swallowed his teeth with bitter bile, begging Li Fuzai not to die in his heart, and on the other hand, he was trying to find a way to deal with the old ministers in the court who were waiting to find trouble.

***

Not to mention that Yongzhou on this side has been held for more than a month, seeing that the city is going to be unable to hold it, he relied on the bed crossbow to shoot Li Fuzai to a serious injury, and finally waited for reinforcements.

The city of Yongzhou is full of white, and the people are happy and crying.

Joy is joy and finally the state city is guarded, but the tears are tears, the family wears filial piety, and every household holds a funeral.

Zhang Dingya led the troops to pursue Tan Zong's army, and when it was confirmed that the other party had completely retreated, he finally put his mind at ease, leaving part of the warning outside, and his own family returned to the city with the rest of the cavalry to meet the counterinsurgency army defending the city, and then he brought his experience together.

It turned out that he went to rescue Pennsylvania that day, and halfway through the trip, he had already heard about Lianzhou
