Ai County, within the city.

Half a day passed, and the place where the wall of the south gate collapsed gradually expanded. In another half a day, perhaps a section of the city wall outside the south gate will completely collapse. Once the city wall completely collapsed, Zhou Yu's soldiers would rush into the city.

Liu Xiu supported the female wall with both hands, and there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

To this day, there is still no news from Chaisang, which is what Liu Xiu is most worried about. His withdrawal from Ai County was actually not a failure, nor was it a big deal.

What Liu Xiu was worried about was whether Chaisang's war could succeed.

If Chaisan wins, the whole situation will be alive, even if he is temporarily in trouble, it will not make a difference.

On the contrary, if Chaisang could not conquer it, Zhou Yu's rear would be as stable as Mount Tai, and it would be difficult for Liu Xiu to pose a threat to Zhou Yu.

Deng Zhan stood beside Liu Xiu and said with a straight face: "Lord, the soldiers of the army have been arranged. The direction of our retreat is set at the north gate. Considering that there may be an ambush outside the north gate, a thousand soldiers will open the way as the vanguard before the army marches. ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Hold on a little longer, maybe there will be a turnaround soon." ”

Deng Zhan looked out of the city with a solemn expression, with a heavy heart.

At noon, the soldiers under Zhou Yu began to eat lunch. After lunch, they will attack again.

It was only a matter of time before the city was broken.

In the afternoon's offensive, Zhou Yu intensified. The rumbling sound of impact sounded one after another. Huge stones that cut through the sky kept falling on the city wall.

The wall of the south gate can already clearly feel the shaking and shaking of the city wall.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, part of the castle tower collapsed.

The city wall outside the south gate has been completely exposed to the eyes of Jiangdong soldiers.

"Knock!knock!!"

The drums of war, beating outside the city.

Wave after wave of Jiangdong soldiers attacked.

Zhou Yu stood outside the city, his expression relaxed, with a look of expectation in his eyes, and muttered: "The city gates of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, which side do you go to break through? In my opinion, it should be the south gate." Breaking through from the south gate, you go south to join Huang Zhong, and you can get out of the current predicament. If you break through from other gates, you don't have this advantage. My army is stationed at the south gate, and the strength of the army is on the surface, so there will be no ambush, and it will be more conducive to your march. Ben Governor expects you to break through and fight at the South Gate. ”

In the city, after Liu Xiu saw that he could not resist, he finally ordered the withdrawal of the army.

The defenders of the south gate were the last to retreat, and when they retreated, Liu Xiu had already led a large army to appear at the gate of the north gate.

"Boom!"

The gates of the city were wide open, and the vanguard army that broke through the siege was the first to rush out. After a thousand vanguard soldiers rushed out, Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan, Tai Shi Ci and others and the army began to break through.

The news of Liu Xiu's breakthrough from the north gate reached Zhou Yu's ears.

Zhou Yu was surprised when he learned the news.

North Gate!

Liu Xiu walked through the north gate, which was really a puzzling choice.

"Could it be that you want to join Chaisang and Huang Zu, and then attack Chaisang by the way?"

Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed, and he ordered to be hunted down.

The army covered the killing, and Liu Xiu quickly retreated.

Liu Xiu's vanguard army encountered the soldiers ambushed by Zhou Yu, but the soldiers under Liu Xiu's command were strong in combat, and they were not embarrassed to flee without strength. After a battle between the two sides, Zhou Yu's soldiers were completely defeated after only a little delay, and failed to leave the Jingzhou soldiers.

The army broke out and ran towards Chaisang.

Zhou Yu led the army and chased him to the death.

The two sides retreated and chased, but Zhou Yu had no intention of letting Liu Xiu go, and always followed behind.

However, Liu Xiu had made preparations early, and the soldiers under his command did not carry many things, each soldier only carried three days' worth of dry food and a little water, and nothing else was brought. As long as he arrived in Chaisang, there would naturally be food, and Liu Xiu would not let food affect the speed of the march.

After nightfall, the army temporarily stopped to rest.

All the soldiers rested in their place and did not set up camp.

Tai Shici sat beside Liu Xiu, ate a mouthful of dry food, drank a sip of hot water, and said, "Master Xiu, how does it feel to flee in embarrassment? I was once chased by your army and fled in embarrassment, and in a blink of an eye, you were also killed by Zhou Yu and fled in embarrassment. ”

Liu Xiu said: "This is not an embarrassed escape, it is a strategic retreat, temporarily avoiding Zhou Yu's edge." ”

Tai Shi Ci smiled, and said in a non-yin tone: "Until now, isn't it a mess to escape? But after such a long time, even the Metropolitan Governor has begun to beat the water dogs, how can the situation controlled by Master Xiu still be so bad?"

Liu Xiu said: "Tai Shici, until the end, no one knows the final result. ”

Tai Shi Ci smiled and sat with his eyes closed. At this moment, Tai Shici is very comfortable in his heart, and someone has avenged him.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a sentry came running quickly, looking hasty.

Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? Zhou Yu's army, has it caught up again?"

When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he was sure that Zhou Yu was here again, got up and patted his buttocks, and said with a smile: "Let's go, it seems that the Metropolitan Governor will not stop tonight, and he will definitely continue to pursue." ”

The soldier shook his head and reported: "In front of the official road leading to Chaisang, an army has appeared. This army is coming to us. But the specifics of this army are not clear, and it is not known whether it is friend or foe. ”

"Boom!"

Tai Shici's heart suddenly had a bad premonition.

Liu Xiu ordered the soldiers to be on guard, and then ordered the soldiers to inquire about the news again.

"Report!"

Immediately after, another sentinel ran back. The soldier was overjoyed and shouted, "My lord, good news, Zhao Yun is back." ”

"Whew!"

Liu Xiu's face showed joy.

Zhao Yun is back!

It means that the war in Chaisan has come to an end.

Finally!

Finally it worked!

"Da!

There was a sound of footsteps, from far to near, and under the light of the fire, a white figure quickly came to Liu Xiu's side and stopped. Zhao Yun turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said, "Master Xiu, Zhao Yun is worthy of his mission." ”

Tai Shi Ci raised his eyebrows, not dishonoring the mission?

Liu Xiu asked, "Okay, okay, just come back." ”

At this moment, Liu Xiu's heart was extremely excited, he finally won, and the plan was finally completed.

Zhao Yun was also quite excited in his heart, and he reported: "On the way to Chaisang, I happened to meet the Jiangdong soldiers who escorted the grain to Zhou Yu's camp. At that time, Zai attacked this grain team, and then pretended to be an attacked grain team and withdrew to the city of Chaisang. After agreeing with Huang Zu to open the city gate, he attacked. After the city gate was opened, Huang Zu led his army to attack and capture Chaisang. ”

After a pause, Zhao Yun said: "Chaisang is already under the control of Huang Zu, and the Jiangdong soldiers stationed in Chaisang have gone to Lujiang County in the north. This time he rushed back, and Huang Zu gave five thousand soldiers. Because the looted food was on the way, I arranged for hundreds of soldiers to transport the looted food. ”

"You did a very good job and came at a good time. ”

Liu Xiu's excitement was difficult to suppress, and it was most appropriate for Zhao Yun to come back at this time.

Tai Shici stood aside, his expression frozen.

Defeated!

Zhou Yu must have failed.

He finally understood what Liu Xiu meant by turning the situation around the next moment, it turned out that what Liu Xiu was looking forward to was not Huang Zhong rushing to the rescue, but waiting for the reinforcements who rushed back after taking Chaisang. Chaisan fell, Zhou Yu's base camp was lost, and the situation changed immediately.

Liu Xiu glanced at Tai Shi Ci and didn't argue with Tai Shi Ci. He summoned his generals to discuss a strategy to counterattack Zhou Yu. Now there are nearly 15,000 people around Liu Xiu, and they are even more wrapped in the victory of capturing Chaisang, no longer demoralized, but high-spirited.

When the generals in the army got the news, they were already greatly encouraged.

The news of the fall of Chaisan spread throughout the army.

After Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan, Zhao Yun and others discussed, they quickly gave orders one after another, and then the soldiers began to move.

On the official road, piles of bonfires crackled and burned, dispelling the darkness and emitting billowing heat. The army under Liu Xiu's command no longer braved the night to continue to hurry, but temporarily stopped advancing, rested in place, and quietly waited for Zhou Yu's army to catch up.

The final fight between the two sides is about to break out.

For Liu Xiu, the current situation is already the end
