Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 727

Wenpin's face was gloomy.

Ever since he received the news that the Mu army was attacking Xiangyang City, he couldn't calm down, and his whole body was in an atmosphere of anxiety, but with his strong willpower, he carried it over.

Because he knows his goal.

He wanted to kill Minghou Mujing.

This is the fastest way to solve the Mu army's attack on Jingzhou, even if it is a risk, it must be done, even at any cost.

So even though he was extremely worried about Xiangyang, he held back.

But now in this situation, seeing that Mujing is right in front of him, within sight of him, but he just has no way to cut him off the horse, so he can only wait helplessly.

The more you wait.

The more impatient.

The strength of the Mu army has been taught many times. When he was in Fancheng, he almost never came back. With the little force he left in Xiangyang, he couldn't stop it for a long time. If he couldn't kill Mujing, he led the army back to Xiangyang.

The first to fall was Xiangyang City.

"General, it's hard to find out in the dark. When it's dawn, even if we can't find a way, we can still find a way!" Zhang Hu said comfortingly.

"Yanzhi!"

Wenpin smiled bitterly: "Do you think the situation in Xiangyang can last until dawn?"

"It might work!"

Zhang Hu thought for a while: "Xiangyang City has high walls and thick walls. Although there are not many troops in the city, but we can mobilize some young and strong men to fight for a few days. It won't fall so easily!"

"You are too optimistic!"

Wenpin shook his head, his dark eyes revealed wisdom and calmness: "It is a fact that Xiangyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the Mu army's advance cannot be ignored. We have suffered too much, so we must pay attention to it! "

"The general thinks that Xiangyang City cannot be defended?"

"If you can't keep it, there must be more!"

Wen Pin said: "I just don't know how long they can hold it. I hope they can hold it for another day. After dawn, even if I can't find the way to Daqi Mountain, I will find one!"

He let out a long sigh: "As long as Xiangyang City sticks to it until tomorrow afternoon, even if we don't go, Jiang Xia's army should enter the city!"

Zhang Hu was silent when he heard this.

"Report!"

A messenger carrying a spirit flag galloped forward, rushed in under the front of the battalion, and with his hands arched, sent the order of Xiangyang: "My lord orders, Wenpin quickly withdraw his troops and return to Xiangyang City!"

"what?"

Wenpin picked up the iron token, which was Liu Biao's token, and his complexion turned cold all of a sudden.

"How is the battle in Xiangyang?" He looked at the messenger with blood red eyes and asked.

"The shepherd has broken through the west city gate. Our army retreated to the city wall and retreated into the city. If the general doesn't go again, I'm afraid the lord will fall into the hands of the shepherd army!"

The messenger said.

"Break through the west city gate so quickly?" Wen Pin gritted his teeth: "How is it possible!"

He still underestimated the viciousness of Mu Jun.

In this battle, the Mu army fought with all their strength, and the onslaught of the main forces of the two armies almost turned the west city gate into ruins.

"General, please send troops quickly, Lord Savior!"

The messenger said.

"General, at this moment, don't give up all your previous efforts!"

Zhu Zhen, a white-clothed scholar, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My lord retreats to Xiangyang, and I will definitely stick to it for a day. As long as the general quickly kills Mulongtu, the entire war can be resolved, not just Xiangyang City, but the entire Jingzhou. Turn defense into offense!"

"General, don't listen to this person's nonsense, Xiangyang is the most important thing!"

A school lieutenant stood up and advised, "Master, they are in danger now, how can we waste our troops here, we must withdraw as soon as possible!"

"General, you can't retreat!"

"General, let's retreat!"

The generals under his command have been divided into two factions.

Some advocated the general's withdrawal, and some advocated that the previous efforts should not be wasted, this battle must be fought on, as long as Mu Jing could be killed, the entire war could be ended directly.

But there are also those who advocate withdrawal.

After all, I have never been able to figure out what is going on in the opposite mountain. Only one Huang Zhong and one Zhang Liao showed up, and there was no trace of Mu Jing. They have spent so long here, simply taking risks for an unconfirmed news.

"Yanzhi!"

Wen Pin clenched his fists tightly, and he glanced at Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu understood the meaning of Wenpin, he thought for a while, cupped his hands and said: "Mujing can't be killed once, there will be a second time, but if Xiangyang is lost again, and the lord has any accidents, Jingzhou will be lost forever, the general must understand , Now it is Yizhou who is sending troops to Jingzhou from the front. Killing Mujing can only defeat the Mu army, but it cannot control the soldiers of Yizhou. "

His meaning is clear.

Killing Mujing is very important, but Liu Biao's life is even more important.

Gambling with Mujing's life is not worth it.

Because Mu Jing is only the lord of Hanzhong, and behind him is Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yan, even if Liu Biao gambled his life, he should gamble his life with Yizhou Mu, not with a little Minghou.

"withdraw!"

Wenpin pondered for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, and spit out a word with strong reluctance.

Fall short.

But nothing can be done.

He must withdraw his troops.

Because he can't bet on the life of Liu Biao, the lord of Xiangyang, he can bet on his own life, but he can't bet on the life of the lord. He is not afraid of losing, but the bet, he simply cannot afford it.

"General?" Zhu Zhen became a little reconciled at this time, seeing that the great revenge had been avenged, but at this time Jingzhou withdrew its troops, it would be very difficult to get such an opportunity in the future.

"Zhong Yu, you don't need to say more!"

Wenpin waved his hand and called Zhu Zhen's word. He respected this young scholar who had taken refuge in him, and said softly: "You are not reconciled, and I am not reconciled, but Yanzhi is right. The life of the lord of Jingzhou is not on the same level as that of a mere shepherd, I can do everything to kill him, but I can't gamble the life of the lord just because of this matter!"

"General, I know your loyalty!"

Zhu Zhen took a step forward, and whispered in his ear, "I have no objection to the general's withdrawal, but I have an idea, maybe I can kill him, even if it doesn't work, it shouldn't be a problem!"

"tell me the story!"

Wenpin was shocked.

Zhu Zhen whispered something in his ear.

"good idea!"

In this way, Wenpin's eyes on the young man became brighter.

He waved his hand and summoned two generals: "Wen Tong, Liu Yong!"

"exist!"

"Er waited to lead three thousand troops, break them into pieces..." Wenpin issued a task to them.

"As ordered!"

The two surrendered.

Jingzhou began to withdraw troops, and there was a lot of movement. At dawn, they held torches and withdrew along Longzhong in the overwhelming flames. The vanguard battalion quickly assembled and rushed towards the herds Tail.

"Has the Jingzhou army withdrawn?"

The two generals who were attacking Xiangyang, Chen Dao and Zhou Cang, who had been somewhat decadent, suddenly revived after hearing the news.

"Hahaha, we still won!"

Zhou Cang said: "Chen Gong is right, whoever is more ruthless will win, after all Wenpin is not as ruthless as us!"

"He's not like us!"

Chen Dao smiled and said: "We were forced to do nothing. In order to save the lord, we had no choice but to be ruthless. However, he had a choice, and he knew very well that his choice was to gamble with the lord's life, so he didn't want to." dare!"

"Actually, I wouldn't dare to change the position!"

Zhou Cang said in a deep voice: "This time, the lord must give us an explanation!"

"Let's not talk about it beforehand. Since Jingzhou has withdrawn its troops, we will also withdraw. We cannot meet the main force of Jingzhou!"

Chen Dao said: "We are at a disadvantage in the fight now. Once we let them drag our main force to death, we can only fight against Deng Long and Jiang Xia's troops who are about to enter Xiangyang City. The handover of troops will cause heavy casualties. The soldiers are exhausted and there is no chance of winning!"

"Ok!"

Zhou Cang nodded.

The two personally commanded the main forces under their command, and slowly withdrew from the west gate of the occupied Xiangyang City.

Occupying the West City Gate, they expended countless energy.

The attack on Xiangyang City has been exhausted.

So just hold the west gate.

Withdrawal is also quick.

However, Jingzhou's main force returned to aid faster.

Mu Jun and the main force of Jingzhou still took a picture outside the city.

Jiang Xiaying, the vanguard of the Jingzhou Army, fought an encounter with the Shuofang Camp of the First Jingping Army of the Mujun Army. The Shuofang Camp suffered a lot of damage during the attack and was unable to continue, but it still fought to a tie with Jiang Xiaying. More than a hundred, passing by.

After dawn.

The Jingzhou army and the Mu army formed the main confrontation from the north to the south. The Jingzhou army was still transporting to Xiangyang City. They took the road to the north of the western suburbs, and the Mu army was also slowly withdrawing from the range of Xiangyang city. They took the road to the south of the western suburbs. .
