"Headed to the west of the city?"

Yuan Yao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his expression became serious.

What is the place in the west of the city, Yuan Yao can't be unclear, that is the weakest place in the entire Wanling County, Yuan Yao only took Zheng Bao and Zu Lang to besiege Wanling County here.

The three of them each defended a city gate, while the west gate only sent a part of the soldiers and horses to keep an eye on it, and did not do more measures.

And now, Sun Ce went straight to the West City Gate, and his purpose was clearly revealed.

It is to go straight to Wanling County and rescue the defenders in the city.

Sun Ce's own troops are insufficient, and if he wants to defeat Yuan Yaoyi and others, it is naturally not enough for him to rely on these horses, but it is not without a chance, as long as the defenders in the city can go out of the city to attack with them.

That would greatly increase the chances of defeating Yuan Yao, so the vanguard army led by Deng Dang was just some bait, the purpose was to attract the attention of Yuan Yao and others.

And Sun Ce's main force is to take the opportunity to steal Wanling County when Yuan Yao and others are attracted, as long as the defense of a county town is broken, the news can be delivered to Wu Jing in the city.

As soon as Wu Jing and Sun Ce merge, the number of soldiers and horses on both sides will increase greatly, let alone a Yuan Yao at that time, even if Zu Lang and Zheng Bao join forces, Sun Ce does not need to be afraid.

It was precisely because of this thought that Yuan Yao's face changed greatly.

He has always ignored that the reason why Sun Ce dared to stay here was to rely on this remnant army, and the idea of fighting was to unite the defenders in the city.

"Oh no, where are Sun Ce's men gone?"

Yuan Yao immediately asked Liu Ye.

"At this moment, it should have been killed at the West City Gate, and it is estimated that it will not be long before we can get in touch with the people and horses in the city."

Liu Ye was also quite nervous, and he also ignored this.

In fact, even if they were not negligent, the three forces could only hold the three city gates at most, and could not divide their troops to garrison the fourth city gate, so that as long as Sun Ce found the weak point of the city gate defense, it would inevitably create a momentum and attract the attention of the defenders in the city.

The only way to break this situation was to engage Sun Ce's main force outside the city before his men approached the county seat of Wanling, cutting off the connection between the defenders of the city and Sun Ce's army.

But this time, Sun Ce dispatched a vanguard army, which attracted Yuan Yao's attention, and adopted the strategy of attacking the east and west, so that Yuan Yao didn't think for a while of what Sun Ce's purpose was.

"It's late, it's late, the battle in Wanling County can't continue."

"Let's go!"

Yuan Yao was also decisive, and after knowing the plan of Sun Ce's army, he didn't plan to stay here at all.

Subconsciously, he gave the order to retreat.

At the same time, Zheng Bao and Zu Lang also sent an order to retreat.

Joke, they don't have any advantage, even if they fight head-on, among the three forces, only Yuan Yao's men and horses can barely fight with Sun Ce's soldiers and horses.

Zheng Bao and Zu Lang's men and horses, once they really faced Sun Ce's main army, there was only one way to rout, rather than letting them stay and die, it was better to let them retreat earlier.

After the news was sent, Yuan Yao was not in a hurry to withdraw, because once he left, Zheng Bao and Zu Lang would definitely not have time to withdraw, and they would be caught up by Sun Ce's men, and a bloody battle would inevitably be fought at that time.

Whoever Zheng Bao and Zu Lang died, it was not a good thing for Yuan Yao.

Zheng Bao's naval army was highly valued by Yuan Yao, and after Zheng Bao died, his plan to absorb Zheng Bao was disrupted.

And Zu Lang is a big local hero, if he really dies in battle, it is equivalent to Yuan Yao losing a big help.

Moreover, Yuan Yao ran away by himself, leaving Zheng Bao and Zu Lang to break off, and helping him delay time, wouldn't it make him leave an infamy, if this matter was known by other people, it would not be good for his reputation Yuan Yao.

So Yuan Yao decided to let Zu Lang and Zheng Bao's men and horses retreat first, and he stayed behind to help them buy time.

This decision was immediately opposed by Liu Ye, Liu Ye was not worried about himself, but he was unwilling to put his master in danger.

If he stays behind, there is a great possibility that he will have to face Sun Ce's headquarters soldiers.

The danger is great.

If there is an accident, it will be a big loss.

However, Yuan Yao is very sure and not in a hurry.

"Ziyang, do what I say, you take people first and withdraw in the direction of Moling County, and Tai Shici and I will take the men and horses, and we will come later."

Yuan Yao's side began to retreat in a hurry.

And the west side of the city is also going on according to Sun Ce's expectations.

With his 2,000 soldiers and horses, he quickly approached the west of the city.

There is only a garrison of hundreds of people in the west of the city, and most of them are still only staring at the dynamics in Wanling County, and they don't care too much about the movement in the rear, after all, there is a circle of spies arranged on the periphery.

They didn't need to worry about the appearance of enemy troops in the rear, and it was because of this indifference that Sun Ce's headquarters army had an opportunity.

After pulling out a few secret sentinels, Sun Ce's men and horses quickly approached the west of the city, and after not far from the west of the city, there was nothing to hide, so he directly led the men and horses and launched a charge towards the west of the city.

Hundreds of people in the western part of the city were immediately surrounded by Sun Ce's army, and before they even had time to put up effective resistance, they were surrounded and killed by Sun Ce one by one.

In just a few moments, the battle in the west of the city came to an end.

At the same time, the movement caused here quickly attracted the attention of Sun Ben on the city tower.

There were two groups of soldiers and horses fighting under the city, and one of the soldiers and horses was still under the banner of the Sun family, which made Sun Ben look surprised.

When he saw clearly Sun Ce, who was constantly rushing and killing the enemy in the battle array, Sun Ben suddenly looked overjoyed.

"Sun Ce, it's Sun Ce!"

"Hahaha, brothers, our reinforcements are coming!"

Sun Ben was overjoyed and immediately ordered someone to open the gate to the west of the city to welcome Sun Ce's army into the city.

Sun Ce killed Xing on the head, and as soon as the battle on the west side of the city was over, Sun Ben had already taken his men and horses out of the city to greet him.

"Bo Fu, you're finally here, I thought it would take some time for you to arrive."

Sun Ben was still very happy to see Sun Ce, and in this way, the crisis in Wanling County could be resolved.

But Sun Ce was not happy, and immediately replied to Sun Ben.

"Cousin, now is not the time to be happy, you quickly reorganize your troops and horses, and go with me to surround that Yuan Yao, this time you must exterminate him here."

Sun Ce suffered Yuan Yao's loss last time, but he hadn't spit out this breath yet, so naturally his heart was thinking that Yuan Yao would be defeated in order to be able to relax this breath.
