Zhao Fan led the troops to escape so decisively, which Wang Fan did not expect, he was originally going to let Xian Deng and the battle eat Zhao Fan's army first, but he never expected the other party to go so urgently, but to avoid the fate of being surrounded and annihilated.

At this time, the city gate had been opened, and Wang Rong had no energy to take care of Zhao Fan, so he had to order Chu Luxu to lead 5,000 righteous followers to follow behind Zhao Fan's department, and whether he could annihilate the enemy army of Zhao Fan's department could only depend on luck.

At this time, the departure of the Ji army of Zhao Fan's army immediately caused the city of Gall to fall into a crisis. Without their containment, the state army can calmly attack the city.

At this time, except for the first and trapped, and the state army except for the wolf cavalry and the righteous servants, all attacked, at this time the city gate was opened, and there was no need for the ants to attack the city.

The fighting at the head of the city has come to an end, but the fighting between the two sides in the city has begun to become more tragic. The Ji army defended the city and the state army attacked the city, relying on one breath to hold on. No matter what Zhao Gang's plans were, Wang Rong knew that he could hold up this breath.

The state army poured into the city like a tidal wave, pressing forward along the city's main roads, fighting back and forth on every street. And hope that both sides are fighting for their lives and dare not retreat in the slightest.

The offensive of the Bingzhou army is becoming more and more urgent, and the Ji *** team is also fighting tenaciously. At this time, Song Mingbu had repelled more than ten attacks by the Bingzhou army, and his soldiers changed one after another, and almost all casualties were lost. At the critical moment, Zhao Gang also personally went into battle to supervise the battle, but he still couldn't change the situation.

A general knelt down in front of Zhao Gang, crying and shouting, "General, you can't fight like this again, if you continue to fight, our army will be finished."

Some of the generals looked distressed and persuaded bitterly: "General, these are brothers who have followed the general for many years, you have to leave us some seeds."

Facing these old subordinates who have followed him for many years, Zhao Gang is also like a knife, and he is very clear about the situation he is facing. The head of the city was lost, a monstrous fire rose in the city, and Zhao Fan's flag went eastward, and Zhao Gang knew that Zhao Fan had escaped. At this time, Zhao Gang hated Zhao Fan's hateful teeth, and wanted to swallow him alive, but he couldn't do anything, and because of Zhao Fan's unauthorized retreat, Qi Taocheng completely fell into the blow of the Bingzhou army.

The critical situation made it impossible for him to flinch.

At this time, Li Zhiliang persuaded Zhao Gang and said, "General, the gall pottery city is no longer defensible, and the green mountains are not left, and there is no firewood to burn, so there is no need to stay in the gall pottery city to die."

Zhao Gang's heart was full of hesitation.

And Li Zhiliang said: "The general guarded the gall Tao City in order to break the enemy, but in today's situation, Zhao Fan fled from the battle, the city gate has been lost, and the gall Tao City can no longer be defended. I am afraid that if the army is not broken, our army will be in danger.

If you are trapped in the city again, even if you can hold out for a few days, you will inevitably break the city after all, what is the use, when Zhao Fan will put the responsibility on the general.

Julu County is no longer defendable, and we can only retreat to Tangyang County, gather all the departments, reorganize the army, and at the same time send an envoy to explain to the emperor that this is not better than sending death in the city of Gauntland?"

The rest of the people also admonished.

Zhao Gang also knew that the gall Tao City was no longer defensible, but if he didn't defend this place, could it be that the people in the capital city would let him go.

Li Zhiliang saw Zhao Gang, who had been shaken, and sacrificed his final killing move: "General, if you live, there is still hope; If you die, it's really a hundred."...

Zhao Gang was shocked when he heard this, and finally he made a difficult decision, and the whole army broke through in the direction of Tangyang County.

However, breaking through is not such a simple matter, in the north of the city, the two sides are still engaged in a bloody battle, and each of them is fighting hard. The entire front is in a staggered state, and if you retreat rashly at this time, it is likely to lead to the complete collapse of the whole army.

In this case, someone must remain in the city and break the rear.

But who stays behind the broken queen is also a problem, and if he stays after the break, he will definitely not be able to get out, and there is only one way left.

Everyone looked at each other, and then Song Mingbu stood up and said to Zhao Gang: "The last general is deeply favored by the general, and he has been by the general's side all these years, and there is no way to repay him. Today, I would like to break off for the whole army, and this friendship will be completed."

Zhao Gang listened to Song Mingbu's words, and was very moved in his heart, and stepped forward to hug him

looked at Song Mingbu's shoulder, but he was speechless and speechless.

Song Mingbu is Zhao Gang's favorite general, and only on this occasion can you see who is a loyal person.

So, Zhao Gang left more than 10,000 people for Song Mingbu and ordered him to stick to it for a day and a night. Then Zhao Gang ordered the rest of the main force to assemble at the east gate, and in the evening, the whole army began to break through.

In the afternoon, Zhao Gang ordered the whole army to be treated. They had a full meal and rested for two hours. When it was almost time to arrive, the city suddenly opened the east gate, and everyone in the city rushed east.

There is a river in the north of the city, and it is flat on three sides, east, west and south. Because of the strength of the troops, the Bingzhou army did not surround the entire gall pottery city. Although the camp outside the city of Gauntao, the North City Gate and the North City were broken through during the day, and the East City Gate could be reached from the city, due to time constraints, the Bingzhou army did not have time to complete the encirclement.

When the people of Ji in the city suddenly opened the city gate to break through, Wang Rong, who received the news, was also taken aback.

Today's battle has been fought for a whole day, and the various units participating in the war have long been exhausted. However, outside the city, at the head of the city, and inside the city, the state army still has the advantage, and has even occupied the northern city, so even if it is late, it is impossible to retreat. The only way to fight to the death is to victory.

The Xiandeng and the trap of the previous bloody battle had long since been withdrawn, and the Xiandeng Brigade suffered heavy casualties and the soldiers were exhausted, and there was no point in letting them stay in the city any longer.

After Yuan Tiangang withdrew, he also asked Wang Rong for battle, feeling that he and the soldiers of the Xiandeng Brigade could still fight again, and brought Zhao Gang's head to Wang Rong. Wang Rong encouraged and comforted him, and let him go down to rest.

In the evening, when the sky was getting dark, a large bonfire was lit inside and outside the city, and the night sky burned red.

At this time, the center of gravity of the state army was placed in the city, and it was inevitable that everything else was neglected. Wang Rong didn't expect Zhao Gang to make such a quick decision, in his opinion, Zhao Gang really chose to break through and it should be when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and at that time, Chu Luxu's righteous congregation had already returned, and he happened to set up an ambush at the east gate.

The current situation caught Wang Rong a little off guard.

The frontal battlefield has not been breached, if Zhao Gang is pursued on a large scale, this black light is blind, and it is very likely to encounter an ambush by the other party. Now it is useless to have fewer chasing soldiers, and it is unrealistic to chase more soldiers, which is really difficult.

In the end, Wang Rong could only let the wolf ride lightly and simply, not wearing heavy armor, only light armor, holding a spear and a ring-headed knife, pursuing the Ji army of Zhao Gang's troops who fled eastward, and joined Chu Luxu. Not to annihilate the enemy, but to expel and confuse and harass.

Wuluo understood what Wang Rong meant, and he was in battle for a long time, so of course he knew what to do.

Zhao Gang has already broken through, although Wang Gang still does not know how many defenders there are in the city, but the city of gall Tao is already in the pocket of the state army. Wang Rong ordered the whole army to attack, and it was necessary to break the city within six hours.

It's just that it's night now, and the soldiers' vision is greatly reduced, which adds a bit of danger to the battle in the city.

The streets of the city were crowded with soldiers from both sides. Every time I took a step forward, I was stepping on corpses all over the ground. The whole street was already bleeding, and after the blood clotted, it was extremely sticky and nauseous to step on it. The entire Gar Tao City has become a blood city.

The two sides were fighting fiercely, and Song Mingbu, who was supervising the battle behind the army, saw that the situation could no longer be supported, so Song Mingbu ordered to abandon the outer city and retreat to the inner city.

The inner city is a small rectangular city, about 20 steps in length and width, one and a half feet higher than the outer city, and it is extremely dangerous.

For Song Mingbu, it was more advantageous to defend the precipitous inner city than to consume troops in the outer city. Of course, there are also places in the inner city, that is, there is no water source, so the water supply is insufficient, and it can't support it for long.

However, this is not important to Song Mingbu, he only needs to hold on for twelve hours to earn time for Zhao Gang to escape.

The Ji army retreated to the inner city, completely abandoning the outer city, and the state army took the opportunity to rush up and occupy the entire outer city. Then he took control of the gates.

"Give the order to go down, seize the city gates, control the county treasury, the county treasury and the arsenal in the city, and control the county government."

After entering the city, Wang Rong hurriedly ordered all his troops to seize all important places in the city, and ordered people to general

The whole inner city was surrounded by a group.

At this time, he broke through the outer city of Gall Tao City, which seemed to be for the mountain, but in fact, he was a little careless, and he was attacked by the other party, which was a failure.

Wang Rong didn't let his subordinates attack the city overnight, and after a whole day, even if it was R, he would be exhausted, not to mention the soldiers of the Bingzhou army. Moreover, at night, the equipment advantage of the state army could not be brought into play, which was not conducive to the siege.

At dawn the next day, Wang Rong ascended the north gate and looked at the city from the top of the city, only to find that the city walls and streets in the city were covered with corpses. The north city wall is only five hundred paces away, not even two miles, but it has already become a wall of blood.

This battle greatly tested the combat strength of the Bingzhou army.

At this time, the inner city was not broken, and Wang Rong saw that the inner city was difficult, so he sent people to the inner city to surrender.

Song Mingbu neither surrendered nor went to war, but instead asked for a one-day grace for the state army to make a decision.

Song Mingbu obviously used the procrastination trick, of course Wang Rong would not be fooled, and stupidly left time for the other party to prepare for the battle. However, the inner city of the city was too steep, and Wang Rong was ready to fill in a slope to attack the city, so he pretended to be generous and agreed to Song Mingbu's request.

In the afternoon, Chu Luxu and Wuluo returned together. Chu Luxu pursued Zhao Fan all the way, killing countless people along the way. Zhao Fan's department lacked organization and almost collapsed in the end. Chu Luxu wanted to pursue Boluoting, but suddenly received a report from the scout, saying that Zhao Gang had broken through, and Chu Luxu returned to join forces with Wuluo.

The two sides chased all night, and found Zhao Gang's traces on the bank of the Zhangshui River early the next morning.

The two sides fought a big battle, and there was no winner or loser. At this time, the farther east he went, the closer he was to Xindu, and Wuluo was worried about being ambushed, so he returned with Chu Luxu.
