Chapter 170: Withdrawal in Embarrassment
Hearing someone call him, Yuan Shang couldn't help but come back to his senses.
Looking at the messy battlefield, he finally sighed helplessly.
"I didn't expect that the inheritance that my father had accumulated would now fall into my hands..."
Yuan Shang's voice trembled.
This also made Yan Liangwen ugly have a palpitation, for fear that Yuan Shang would suddenly pull out his sword and kill himself.
Fortunately, Yuan Shang quickly adjusted his emotions.
"It's okay, I don't care."
"There are still 30,000 troops in the rear, but we can lead 30,000 troops to join Zhang He."
Yuan Shang did not forget that he had previously arranged for Zhang He, who led 50,000 troops to guard Chang'an City.
Unexpectedly, this arrangement became the only force that Yuan Shang preserved.
After assembling the 30,000 troops, Yuan Shang immediately led his army along the route of Liu Hong's retreat.
Now it is definitely not possible to take the northern route.
So far.
Yuan Shang could only join Liu Hong first.
Let's see if we can withdraw from the encirclement of Yuan Yao and Sun Quan from the side of Yuzhang County.
With the withdrawal of the Great Army.
Not much.
All that remained on the battlefield were fallen corpses.
The air smelled of gunpowder, burnt proteins, and blood.
But even in the environment outside the city, Sun Quan was still very happy.
Because he relied on his 150,000 troops, he forced Liu Hong and Yuan Shang's 250,000 troops away.
And more importantly.
Sun Quan only relied on a single move to successfully defeat the army of Liu Hong and Yuan Shang.
But just when Sun Quan got carried away.
Zhou Yu opened his mouth to remind: "Your Majesty, it is certainly a good thing that Yangzhou is in crisis contact now, but..."
"If Yuan Yao's army doesn't get any benefits, it's likely that they won't give up."
"I suggest that if the other party mentions this, Lujiang County and Danyang County will be given to show off."
Hear Zhou Yu's words.
Zhou Yu, who was still a little happy, suddenly had a stiff face.
He had to admit that Zhou Yu's words were very reasonable.
If it were me, I'm afraid I would do the same.
"It's... Gong Jin, just ceding Lujiang County and Danyang County out, will it not satisfy his appetite? ”
"And what about the alliance of princes?"
Sun Quan asked with some hesitation.
What he was most worried about now was that he would not be able to satisfy Yuan Yao's appetite.
And those princes' alliances will definitely not give up.
After all, no one wants to run for nothing.
Hearing this, Zhou Yu looked slightly stunned.
He had forgotten about the alliance of the princes.
It's just that...... Zhou Yu glanced up at the direction of Liu Hong's retreat.
It should be Yuzhang County.
It is also the place where the alliance of princes is hindered.
Maybe Nanchang City has not been breached until now.
Otherwise, according to the urine nature of the alliance of the princes, they would have rushed over in a hurry.
But no matter what the situation of Nanchang City is.
I'm afraid that the coalition of princes will be broken up by Liu Hong, right?
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
"If the princes' coalition wants to get a piece of the pie, at least they must beat Liu Hong first."
Zhou Yu smiled indifferently.
Meanwhile.
Nanchang City.
At this time, Cheng Pu and the allied forces of the princes did not know what had happened in Yangzhou Huiji County.
The two sides are still fighting fiercely with each other.
It's just that after fighting so far, Cheng Pu has almost exhausted all the available forces.
Look around.
There are no more than 2,000 soldiers in the entire Nanchang City who can still fight.
And the army of the princes was left with a full 70,000.
This is a battle of disparity.
But even so, Cheng Pu still did not give up.
In the face of the surrender of the princes, he was even more disdainful.
It's just that Cheng Pu's stubborn resistance caused Zhang Chao and Xu Wei's army to suffer heavy casualties.
Their army, as the vanguard, was almost the hardest hit.
The 30,000 troops were directly reduced to 20,000 troops.
Xu Wei even beat less than 4,000 people left.
His position in the alliance of princes also declined rapidly.
Together with the Zhang Dynasty, he was reduced to the bottom of the princes.
"Cheng Pu! You'd better surrender quickly! ”
"If you are obsessed, you will only die in the end!"
"What is there about this Liu Hong that is worth your hard work?"
Outside the city of Nanchang.
Xu Wei kept shouting to persuade him to surrender.
He wanted to kill Cheng Pu immediately, but he could only resist the killing intent to persuade him to surrender.
After all, he had more than 4,000 troops left in his hands.
If you continue to fight like this, you will be gone.
It's just that Cheng Pu was disdainful when he heard Xu Wei's words.
"I have already served the two masters, how can I do it three more times?"
"If the city is broken, you will kill it or chop it up as you please."
"Surrender, I Cheng Pu can't do it!"
The voice fell.
Cheng Pu bent his bow and set up an arrow, and an arrow shot out, impartially piercing Xu Wei's head.
The latter's body suddenly straightened and fell heavily to the ground.
This move only inspired the other princes.
They immediately organized a large army to attack.
Soon, the few soldiers in Nanchang City were exhausted.
In the huge Nanchang City, only Cheng Pu was left.
Looking at the black army outside the city, Cheng Pu laughed.
Then he drew the long sword at his waist and was about to kill himself.
That's when it happened.
A shout suddenly came out from behind Cheng Pu, stopping his movements.
Cheng Pu looked back suspiciously, and was shocked to find that it was a musketeer who stopped him.
Immediately after that, more musketeers appeared in Cheng Pu's sight.
"General Cheng Pu! The emperor is leading his troops to withdraw here, and the large army will arrive soon! ”
Said a musketeer.
Then they quickly ran to the top of the wall, aimed at the alliance of princes below, and quickly drove past.
Cheng Pu looked at the musketeers in front of him with a stunned expression, and his mind couldn't turn for a while.
What did they just say?
The emperor withdraws his troops?
Cheng Pu seemed to suddenly think of something, and he was suddenly shocked.
Could it be that ...
Cheng Pu cut off his thinking and controlled himself not to continue to think.
The allied forces of the princes, who were rushing forward, were immediately caught off guard when they saw the musketeers that suddenly appeared.
Bang bang bang!
I saw that the musket kept spitting out projectiles, killing the soldiers of the princes' coalition who wanted to climb up one by one.
For a time, the momentum of the attack of the princes' coalition army was blocked by two thousand musketeers.
"Wait, let's stop the attack first!"
One of the princes immediately noticed that something was wrong.
"This musketeer should be following Liu Hong's army, why did he appear here?"
A sentence that wakes up the dreamer.
The princes were suddenly startled, and they all looked in the direction of the city wall.
Yes, this group of musketeers should have followed Liu Hong to Huiji County.
Why are you here now?
Could it be that Yangzhou Sun Quan has been exterminated?
As soon as they thought of this possibility, the princes couldn't help but panic.
If it was really Liu Hong's army to exterminate Sun Quan and come back.
I can't stop the attack of Liu Hong's army.
