Under Chen Zhi's strict control, the ambush troops under his command briefly resisted the urge to kill immediately in the early morning light, allowing Ji Ling's vanguard to pass through the ambush area safely.

Chen Zhi didn't know how long he could restrain himself, maybe the next moment a grassroots officer would not be able to stand the pressure and mistakenly think that he had been discovered, so he had to be killed.

It is a while longer to be able to linger, and a few more enemies to be entangled.

Chen Zhi's composure was not in vain.

At this time, the movement in the southeast of the front was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more Liu Xun's troops were scattered in all directions, and a considerable number of them chose to flee to the Ji Ling camp.

These routs were inevitably caught by Ji Ling's department, and Ji Ling was also furious, and hurriedly arrested some people to inquire about the situation.

Hearing the anger, Ji Ling couldn't help but frantically whip the defeated soldiers with a horsewhip:

"Waste, this waste! In such a short time, the whole army was stolen and bombed the camp! What about Chen Lan's cavalry? Don't you keep a night watch? Why didn't you find Guan Yu! ”

So all of a sudden, the news that Liu Xun's bombing camp collapsed and that he didn't know his life and death spread among Ji Ling's team of reinforcements who rushed urgently.

Ji Lingjun's morale was not immune to the successive blows. Coupled with the various setbacks of the previous few days, the sudden awakening of the army tonight and the rush to march with a hungry stomach and half a daze, all kinds of unfavorable factors superimposed, which made Ji Ling secretly cry bitter in his heart.

He knew that the combat effectiveness of his troops was already very doubtful, and if Liu Xun could not be saved, perhaps it was the best choice to preserve the vitality at this moment.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Chen Zhi and Tian Yu on both sides finally couldn't suppress the impulse of their subordinates, so they could only fight out one after another.

"Kill!"

"Liu Xun is dead! The Lujiang army has been defeated! Those who descend will not be killed! ”

Although Chen Zhi and Tian Yu each had more than 2,000 people, and the enemy army had more than 10,000 people, Ji Ling was still caught off guard.

"Liu Bei has an ambush!"

"We've been tricked!"

Some of the Ji Ling soldiers retreated in panic before they could start fighting. The darkness made it impossible to see how many enemy troops had been killed from the woods beside the road, which only intensified their panic.

Ji Ling looked at the clumsy performance of his soldiers, and couldn't help but get angry, while shouting to restrain the soldiers, he personally rushed to boost morale: "Don't mess up!" Flee the battle! Liu Bei Pifu'an dares to do this! Ji Ling is here, and the thief will come to death soon! ”

Ji Ling is worthy of being the first brave general under Yuan Shu, and he reacted very quickly to organize the counterattack of the guards around him, and fought with Chen Zhibu.

Although Ji Lingjun's peripheral soldiers were in chaos, his core descendants were still felt by the main general's leading soldiers, and they stabilized people's hearts.

Ji Ling shouted and slammed it, and repeatedly rushed to kill and hacked to death more than a dozen soldiers under Chen Zhi's command, two tun commanders, and finally because his performance was too conspicuous, he encountered Chen Zhi who came to intercept him.

Chen Zhi's name is not obvious now, but Liu Bei sees that he has good martial arts, and keeps him by his side as a personal guard Qu Junhou, and if he is released with soldiers, he can be equipped with a higher level, which is equivalent to the treatment of a military horse.

Of course, Ji Ling would not have heard the name of a newcomer like Chen Zhi, and the two sides immediately fought together, and they were both trying their best to open and close to the death.

After more than a dozen moves, Ji Ling was secretly frightened in his heart: In addition to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei's command, how could there be such a good fighter? The opponent's strength is not below him at all, but he has a slight lack of martial arts and fighting experience, so he can have a slight upper hand.

In time, if this young man is allowed to experience it, I am afraid it will be difficult to say.

Even now, Ji Ling thought to himself that he would not be able to suppress the other party without fifty moves.

After Ji Ling and his henchmen and guards were entangled by Chen Zhi and others, his remaining tens of thousands of troops were suddenly a little overwhelmed, and they lost the direct command of the commander, so they could only fight on their own.

Morale, discipline, and fear of the Chinese plan are superimposed layer upon layer, and the combat efficiency of the troops is pressed again and again, and it is completely like a fly without a head, and it cannot be brought into play at all.

The two sides fought a bloody battle for half a moment, and each suffered heavy casualties, but the casualties of Ji Lingjun were at least two or three times that of Chen Zhi and Tian Yu.

Finally, there was a rumbling sound in the southwest, Ji Ling didn't dare to fight, and struggled to block Chen Dao with several moves, and when he looked closely, he couldn't help but shudder: "Guan Yu? Coming so fast? ”

It turned out that with the first rays of sunlight in the morning, he finally saw that it was Guan Yu's banner. Obviously, the other party can only withdraw to reinforce the second battlefield here after Liu Xun has completely defeated him.

Ji Ling yelled in annoyance, knowing that any attempt to rescue Liu Xun at the moment was meaningless, it was better to keep his vitality and stop the loss in time.

Working under a lord like Yuan Shu and keeping the strength of his descendant troops is still a high priority.

What's more, this battle is already a situation that will collapse, and all the responsibility for the defeat is destined to be borne by Liu Xun.

Even if he retreats with defeat, the responsibility will not be held on his head.

"Hurry up and stop the troops! Before Guan Yu catches up, get rid of the enemy in front of him! Ji Ling finally made up his mind and shouted loudly.

He knew that he had to retreat immediately and disengage from Chen Zhi and Tian Yu, and he would definitely be covered up by the enemy for a while, taking advantage of a lot. But it's better than waiting for Guan Yu to rush to the battlefield and then retreat, it's easier to leave, and the price paid can be smaller.

As a result, he directly abandoned part of the former army - or rather, in the process of retreating from the former army to the rear army and the rear army to the front army, these abandoned troops have automatically become the rear army.

The rest of the troops that could disengage retreated as fast as they could.

He began to bring more than 10,000 people to reinforce Liu Xun, and in the short frontal battle with Chen Zhi and Tian Yu just now, there were less than 1,000 casualties, and the losses caused by panicked fleeing when encountering a sneak attack were greater.

Now in the retreat, the losses continue to increase exponentially.

Chen Zhi and Tian Yu bit hard, chased and killed frantically, and did not dare to slack off at all.

At least two or three thousand troops were directly cut and surrounded, and after only half an hour of delay, they completely collapsed and failed to escape, and all of them surrendered and became prisoners.

After Chen arrived at Tian Yu and ate his palace troops, he continued to cover up all the way, killing hundreds of people. After Guan Yu's cavalry rushed up, they pushed the feast of pursuit to the peak, and wiped out at least one or two thousand people, although most of them fled in all directions.

Ji Ling rushed all the way back to the camp and counted the people, and the 12,000 reinforcements he brought out were only forty percent of the people who returned to the camp in the formation system, which is not miserable.

Of course, Ji Ling has also fought a lot of battles, and he knows that the sixty percent is not all the losses, at least half of them may just run away, and they will gradually return to the team in a few days. But even if this part is removed, the troops he attacked will be at least forty percent lost.

"Seven or eight days of standing still, and actually losing so badly early in the morning, when did Liu Bei have such the ability to use troops? Is this still the Liu Bei who was repelled by me when he was in Xuyi County? ”

After Ji Ling counted the losses, he was so distressed that he was dripping blood.

He counted a little, and today he had lost at least five thousand soldiers and horses permanently, and if you count the temporary escape, it would be seven or eight thousand. Coupled with the siege a few days ago, he lost more than 2,000 cumulatively. His total attrition along the way has been tens of thousands.

That is to say, the 25,000 army when they first came to Huaiyin is now only 15,000, and the deserters may rise to 178,000 after two days to regroup.

But the friendly army of Liu Xun's troops on the southern front, looking at the current situation, not to say that the whole army was annihilated, at least it was completely dispersed. Even if there are those who survive, it is impossible to gain a firm foothold, and they will definitely be driven back to Guangling County by kicking their butts all the way.

Therefore, if he does not retreat, he will take 15,000 people and face Liu Bei's entire strength alone.

Before today, the total number of troops of Yuan Shu's army on the Huaiyin battlefield was still three times that of Liu Bei's army. Now it has dropped to one and a half times, and sixty percent of the total strength has disappeared.

Continue to hold the camp steadily, stick to Liu Bei, wait for variables, or temporarily withdraw to Xuyi County, the stronghold of the attack?

In the misery, Ji Ling was in a dilemma.
