Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 621
When Liu Qi led the army to the front of Xuzhou City, he hadn't moved yet.

squeak~~
The wide city gate that was originally closed made a sound, which was a sign that the city gate was about to open, otherwise the closed city gate would not make any noise.

Hear the sound of the city gate.

A light flashed in Liu Qi's eyes, and he held the spear in his right hand and raised it.

brush~
Zhao Yun and others behind him, as well as a group of Han soldiers, also took action at the same time, taking a defensive posture, ready to attack at any time.

After all, they didn't know what the intentions of the Qi army defenders staying in Xuzhou City were.

Looking at the city gate that has cracked a gap, with light revealed from it.

Doubt also flashed across Liu Qi's eyes, and he also didn't understand what the defenders of the Qi army in Xuzhou City wanted to do. He gathered his troops and came here just to know what choices the abandoned defenders of Xuzhou City had.

Although he also wanted to win Xuzhou City in a battle, after a night of fighting, the soldiers under his command were already exhausted, and he planned to see the reaction of the garrison in Xuzhou City first.

After that, let the soldiers set up camp on the spot, while besieging Xuzhou City, take a rest first, and finally plan Xuzhou City.

But I didn't expect that Xuzhou City would suddenly open the city gate.

Is it war?is down?or something else?

It's just an unknown until it's confirmed.

But if it is a battle, he is not afraid. After all, if Xuzhou City opens the city gate, even if his soldiers are tired, there is no difficulty in taking down the Xuzhou City garrison who went out to fight against the city.

As for how.

Then we have to see the behavior of the garrison.

Be prepared.

Liu Qi and the others were also keeping a close eye on the city gate that was about to be opened, ready to launch an attack and resist the attack at any time.

Two thick gates.

Under the impetus of the garrison in the city, there was a harsh sound of "squeak, squeak", and it slowly opened to the left and right sides, and gradually expanded from a gap.

From time to time
Most of the city gates were also opened.

Liu Qi and others in front of the city gate can also see the situation in the passage of the city gate.

I saw that in the passage of the city gate, except for the soldiers of the Qi army who were still pushing the gate, there was a general of the Qi army in the center of the passage, wearing a battle armor and a brown horse on his hip.

however.

Strangely, this general of the Qi army did not hold a weapon.

And behind him was densely packed, full of soldiers in green clothes and black armor, just like the general of the Qi army in front of him, he didn't hold a weapon, not even a flag, and his hands were empty.

such a situation.

It made Liu Qi and others stunned for a moment, and then they realized it, with a thoughtful look in their eyes.

And the soldiers of the Qi army in the passageway of the city gate, led by the general of the Qi army, took a step forward and walked out towards the half-opened city gate, preparing to leave the city and meet Liu Qi and others.

See Qi Jun's actions.

Liu Qi's eyes flashed, but he didn't make any movements. He watched Qi Jun's behavior quietly, and he could faintly guess why Qi Jun's behavior was in his heart.

Otherwise, instead of just watching quietly, he led the whole army to charge and forcibly captured Xuzhou City.

After all, Xuzhou City, which opened the city gate, could not resist the iron cavalry of his army at all, and could easily capture Xuzhou City. Now that the army of Qi State has retreated, the garrison of Xuzhou City, relying on the city wall, can still resist for a while. Open the city gate , That's just surrendering Xuzhou City.

The garrison in Xuzhou City did not intend to launch a battle.

Then he didn't need to make any changes. He was very satisfied to be able to take down Xuzhou City without a single soldier.

As such.

He also wouldn't think about causing trouble, lest something unexpected happen, and it would take a big fight in the end to end it.

for him.

The best thing is to be able to win Xuzhou City at the least cost.

soon.

The general of the Qi army led the soldiers of the Qi army in the city to the outside of the city, and stopped at a distance of 30 meters from the Han army.

The general of the Qi army glanced at Liu Qi and others who were at the forefront of the Han army, and a firm look flashed in his eyes.

Then he got off his horse and knelt down and said: "Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, the former governor of Xuzhou in Qi State, led [-] soldiers under his command to open the city gate to welcome Emperor Han. , I hope Emperor Han can take it in!"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and bowed down.

brush~~
The soldiers of the Qi army behind him also bowed down in unison.

And the chief general of the Qi army who stayed in Xuzhou City was Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, who served as the prefect of Xuzhou.

When Liu Bei led the army to arrive and set up camp outside Xuzhou City to fight against the Han army, he did not go out of the city to live in the Qi army camp, but was ordered to stay in the city.

Then continue to be stationed in Xuzhou City.

Battle last night.

He was on the city wall, and he could see very clearly. It can be said that from the time when the Han army entered the camp, to when the Qi army retreated and was hunted down, it can be said that it was very clear from the beginning to the end.

However, Xuzhou City was behind the Qi Army's camp, and even if he wanted to support him, he could not get around to the back of the Han Army.

What's more, there is a part of the Han army who wandered outside the city after setting fire around the Qi army's camp, so that even if he wanted to support him, he couldn't.

Once the city gate is opened.

He can guarantee that the Han army wandering around will intercept it, maybe the city has been captured by the Han army last night.

In the end, the garrison in the Qi army camp was defeated.

He also did not dare to open the city to welcome Liu Bei and others into the city, and the defeated soldiers did not flee to the city side. In that case, everyone knew that even if he opened the city gate, he would not escape in.

After all, the Han army chasing behind will also take the opportunity to attack the city.

In this way, it is better to flee outside, the chance of escape is even greater.

Chen Deng knew in his heart that Liu Bei was defeated, and Xuzhou would fall into Liu Qi's hands, and it would be of no use for him to stick to Xuzhou City. He was isolated and helpless, and sooner or later he would be taken by the Han army.

Of course, if the Han army was chasing the defeated Qi army last night.

He can also lead the soldiers and horses to evacuate, retreat to Qingzhou, join Liu Bei, and be able to keep everything safe, but he is unwilling to give up the foundation in his heart.

His Chen family has been in Xuzhou City for a long time, and it doesn't mean that he can give up just by giving up.

most importantly.

That's Liu Bei's problem.

Not to mention Liu Bei's character, but also the fact that his subordinates have different opinions. It is not easy to resist the pace of the Han army now that he has been defeated here and retreated to Qingzhou.

It can be said that it is an unchangeable fact that Liu Bei was defeated by Liu Qi.

And he was not loyal to Liu Bei. When the situation was over, he chose to surrender to Liu Qi.

This is his choice, after thinking about the choice for a night.

Can't fight, can't withdraw.

Only drop! ! !
