Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 426 The Battle of Jizhou ([-])
After making up your mind.
Yan Liang also took advantage of the fact that not many Han troops climbed the city wall and were not entangled together, so he ordered to retreat.

Shenpei first led the army to retreat from the city wall. He personally led more than a hundred guards, and there were two thousand soldiers left behind as the existence after the end.

Because Yuan Jun had no intention of resisting for a long time, and now that the order to retreat was issued, Yuan Jun also quickly left the city wall, and did not continue to prevent the Han army from climbing the ladder, and climbed up towards the city wall.

With Yan Liang leading the army to stop a small number of Han troops who climbed the city wall, the retreat was also very smooth.

Although there are obstacles, they cannot delay the pace of retreat.

Leave the city walls.

Shen Pei then led Yuan Jun's soldiers who had withdrawn first, and went straight to the other north city gate. After all, if they came out from the north city gate, they could join Yuan Shao who had led his troops back from Youzhou.

Moreover, the judge also knew that Yan Liang cut off the back himself to delay the time.

He didn't dare to waste any time, so he went down the city wall and headed straight for the north city gate without any hesitation or pause.

above the city wall.

The soldiers of the Han army who had just climbed the city wall were also stopped by Yan Liang's army.

After all, Yan Liang led the army to stop at the stairs. If the Han army soldiers wanted to go after them, they had to break through this line of defense first, but how could they break through so easily.

Yan Liang took the few remaining Yuan Jun soldiers with him.

Seeing more and more soldiers of the Han army climbing up the city wall, while estimating the time, they also began to fight side by side, and retreated to the city by stairs.

And there are only so many stairs from the city wall into the city.

Yan Liang stayed at the end alone, as if guarding the gate alone, he looked like he was not allowed to open, there was no general, and the generals of the Han army were not his opponents.

Step into the streets of the city.

Yan Liang rushed away with the crowd, no longer entangled with the Han soldiers.

The Han soldiers who came down first wanted to pursue, but they also knew that opening the city gate first was the most correct choice, and Yan Liang wanted to escape unless they could surround them with numbers.

Otherwise, Yan Liang would not be able to stay.

and so.

Walking down the city wall, some of the soldiers of the Han army continued to chase after them, and some of them walked towards the passage of the city gate.

The two armies have also changed into a city. It is a chase in the city.

One side flees, the other side chases.

Fortunately, the people in the city knew about the war early in the morning and did not leave their homes.

but.

Even so, the shouts of killing sounded on the street, which also made the people in the city feel frightened, fearing that it would be affected.

Yan Liang led the broken soldiers and horses, ignoring the pursuers, and ran all the way, and Yan Liang didn't dare to turn back, if he was entangled, when Liu Qi led the army into the city, even if he wanted to leave, it would be difficult.

all the way.

It seemed very chaotic like chickens flying and dogs jumping.

finally.

Yan Liang still led most of the soldiers of the Yuan army who were cut off before withdrawing from the north city gate and leaving the city.

However, whether it was Liu Qi's order or something else, the pursuing soldiers of the Han army stopped pursuing after they escaped from the north city gate.

Instead, he closed the north city gate and retreated into the city.

It is obvious that they no longer plan to continue chasing them and let them flee.

See here.

The officers and soldiers of the Yuan army who were cut off also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they kept chasing, and there might not be so many of them who could escape.

Yan Liang led the rest of the soldiers, and after leaving the city for a mile, he saw that there were no pursuers behind, so he also stopped.

Looking at the distant city.

Complex emotions also flashed in Yan Liang's eyes.

I see.

On the city wall in the distance, which was already empty, there were figures flickering, and the flag belonging to Yuan Jun was fluttering on the city wall, and it was pulled out by those figures walking around and thrown from the city wall. Down.

One after another, all were pulled out.

Immediately afterwards, it was replaced with a black flag representing Liu Qi, King of Han, flying above the city wall.

Although Yan Liang didn't make any movements, he clenched his hands tightly, his veins were exposed, he bit his lips tightly, he didn't even feel his lips were broken, his body trembled slightly.

Obviously, the heart is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.

He is also very clear that it is normal for the Han army to occupy the city.

But he was not reconciled, if it wasn't for the fire, the situation today might be different, but it has already happened, even for him, regretting it is useless.

"Go!" Yan Liang said in a deep voice.

Now that the general situation is over, staying here is of no use. Even if they join up with the evacuated army led by Jupei, they will not be able to take back the city. The only way out is to join up with Yuan Shao.

He took a deep look at the city.

Then he turned around and left.

The officers and soldiers of the Yuan army did not hesitate, and left behind Yan Liang one after another.

Yuan Jun's soldiers didn't think too much, they were all thankful for being able to save their lives. After all, in this battle, a fire burned [-] Yuan Jun's soldiers. Such a scene also left a great shadow on them.

A group of people, also in the rain, walked away from the city slowly on the muddy road.

Slowly disappear in the rain.

Yan Liang also led the soldiers of the Yuan army who had been cut off, and caught up with the soldiers of the Yuan army led by Shenpei who had withdrawn earlier, gathered together, and walked towards Guangping in silence.

this battle.

They were defeated, but they were still completely defeated, with no room for resistance.

And in the city.

Liu Qi also led the army into the city and took over the city in an all-round way, which can be said to be the one with the least loss.

Yuan Jun retreated early.

Although Yan Liang and Shen Pei were not left behind, taking the city was considered a completion of the plan, so they continued to march towards Guangping and start a frontal battle with Yuan Shao.

He also settled down in the city and did not continue to march.

Today's heavy rain is still falling, not to mention affecting the speed of marching, and marching in the rain can easily make the army sick on a large scale.

It's okay to say it for a while, but there will always be problems after a long time.

If such a situation occurs, not to mention going to war with Yuan Shao, whether he can stick to it will be a problem.

Not to mention the capture of Wei County.

It is also possible to march to Quang Binh at any time, and it is not too late.

Otherwise, the generals and soldiers of the Han army who were chasing Yan Liang would not stop when they reached the north city gate and return to the city, but kept chasing.

Send a few more generals to catch up, maybe even Yan Liang will be able to stay.

in the city.

Now it has returned to calm, and has not harassed the people in the city.

Except for the patrolling soldiers, the rest also set up camps in various places to avoid the heavy rain.

Look at the clouds in the sky.

This rain will not stop soon, but will fall for a while.
