He disdains to do something to the old and the weak.

"Hehe, General Zhao doesn't look down on veterans either?"

"Then Huang Zhong, come and learn in person."

Huang Zhong laughed heartily, waved the long knife in his hand and rushed towards Zhao Yun.

With a knife, the momentum was like a mountain.

when!

Zhao Yun raised his gun to block, and suddenly felt numb, he couldn't help looking at Huang Zhong in surprise.

What a lot of strength.

"I underestimated the old general."

"Come again!"

Zhao Yun took it seriously, he stabbed when he drew his gun, and didn't hold back at all.

"It's a good time." Huang Zhong was overjoyed and fought with Zhao Yun.

The rest of Liu Jun took this opportunity to try to retake the North Gate.

pity.

The city gate is narrow and cannot accommodate too many people at one time.

Therefore, even if Liu Jun has several thousand people, there are not many who can really enter.

This made it difficult for the three hundred soldiers to defend, but they managed to hold on.

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly, the ground began to vibrate slightly.

Everyone's face changed greatly.

This is the sound of the cavalry rushing.

A cavalry is coming.

Zhao Yun quickly pushed Huang Zhong away, took a few steps back, and looked out of the city.

in the night.

A black cavalry was like a torrent of steel, surging towards Jiangling City.

Those cavalrymen, whether soldiers or war horses, are all covered with thick armor.

Cao Jun tiger and leopard riding.

And heavy cavalry!

When the tiger and leopard arrived, Xiahou Dun's army would not be far away.

That's too late.

Looking at the tiger and leopard riding not far away, Zhao Yun sighed.

Now it is impossible to get back to the North Gate.

We can only try to prevent Cao's army from entering the city.

He was about to kill Huang Zhong again, when not far behind, a shout suddenly came: "Zilong!"

"My lord?"

Zhao Yun turned to look, only to see Liu Bei leading the troops, coming on horseback.

He was in a hurry.

"My lord, Xiahou Dun's army has arrived, this place is dangerous, you should leave quickly."

Zhao Yun said worriedly.

"I'm here to break up with Zilong." Liu Bei dismounted, supported Zhao Yun's shoulder, looked at his tired face, and said with red eyes, "Thank you for your hard work, Zilong."

"This is the duty of the last general, why bother to talk about it." Zhao Yun's sadness disappeared instantly, and he said quickly.

"Zilong, come, let us meet Xiahou Dun here for a while."

Liu Bei sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers and horses lined up behind him, but it was two thousand archers who happened to surround the north gate.

Although there were only [-] people, it was not so easy for Xiahou Dun's army to enter.

In addition to the [-] archers, there were [-] foot soldiers behind the privates.

As for the remaining soldiers and horses, Liu Bei sent them to the east and west gates respectively.

The two gates were not lost, so there was no need for too many troops.

What's more, since Xiahou Dun has already won the North Gate, he can drive in from the North Gate, so there is no need to divide his troops to attack other directions.

Rumble.

The tiger and leopard cavalry outside the city slowly stopped, and then the military formation spread out in a semicircle towards both sides, revealing a passage for the infantry to pass through.

After all, the combat effectiveness of cavalry in the city is too low, and the restrictions are too great.

Soon.

Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin led their troops to Jiangling City.

Just through the firelight, looking at the archer who was bending a bow and an arrow behind the wide-open city gate, the expressions of the two of them changed.

"What a Liu Bei, the reaction is so fast, I underestimate you."

Xiahou Dun was riding on the horse, and vaguely saw that behind the archers, there were many foot soldiers lined up.

Even if he can break through the arrows of the archers, he will slam into Liu Bei's army.

The opponent is waiting for work, and he needs twice as many troops to ensure undefeated.

If you want to completely smash Liu Bei's army, it is estimated that at least [-] or [-] people will be needed.

He looked up at the city wall again.

There are thousands of soldiers guarding it, and it is not so easy to attack in a short time.

What's more, Liu Bei's army is under the city and can go to the city to support at any time.

The current situation is that although the North Gate has been occupied by him, in a short period of time, it is difficult to break through the defense line of Liu Bei's army.

If you hit hard, the loss will be bigger.

Now we can only count on the noble families in the city to continue to create chaos and consume Liu Bei's energy.

Thus, the two armies confronted each other far away across the moat and the open north gate.

"General, just got the report. The south gate of Jiangling City is wide open, and a Liu Bei army is quickly withdrawing. It seems that Liu Bei army's wife and children are among them, and Zhang Fei is also among them."

At this time, Yu Jinpaima came to Xiahou Dun's side and said in a low voice.

"How many people are there?" Xiahou Dun asked.

"About ten thousand, but they are all elites, and their weapons and armor are different from Liu Bei's army left behind in the city." Yu Jin said immediately.

"It turns out that Liu Bei is stalling for time." Xiahou Dun understood.

Liu Bei wanted to abandon the car to protect the commander, and evacuated all the more than [-] elites. As for the rest, it was as much as he could go.

"Sir, let me go after him." On the other side, Cao Chun, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Riders, took the initiative to invite Zhan Dao.

"Alright, you lead [-] cavalry to chase, remember, you are not allowed to chase Liu Jun, just chase them at the rear and catch them all on board." Xiahou Dun ordered.

Cao Chun looked at Xiahou Dun suspiciously: "General, since you won't let him pursue him, why should he pursue him?"

He still wanted to kill Liu Jun's elite and make meritorious deeds, but he wouldn't let him kill Liu Jun. What's the matter?

"Our army only chases and does not kill, and Liu Jun's infantry will only focus on escaping for their lives, and in order to speed up, they will inevitably give up their baggage."

"And if you lead the army to charge, Zhang Fei is reckless, but he is not an idiot. He will definitely form a formation to block the enemy. The road ahead is already muddy, and the cavalry is easy to fall, which will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness, and it is difficult to exert full strength, so even tigers and leopards Riding is not necessarily Zhang Fei's opponent."

"Besides, I just forced them to drop the baggage."

"When they got on the boat and entered the Yangtze River, it was difficult to supply supplies, and when Mao Jie led the Jingxiang navy to intercept them, Liu Bei's army could be forced into the trap."

Xiahou Dun said.

This is a long-established plan.

His purpose was to take Jiangling City safely. As for destroying Liu Bei and stopping Liu Bei's army, he had already arranged it according to Cao Cao's plan.

Don't be in a hurry at this time.

"I understand." Cao Chun nodded, ordered five thousand cavalry, and chased Zhang Fei.

Not long after Cao Chun led his troops out, Liu Bei received the news.

His face changed: "How many people have you gone?"

"Look at the army formation about five thousand." The messenger replied.

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

Not many cavalry.

And the road along the way is muddy, the cavalry can't play much role, and there will be no problem with the third brother.

But it also gave him a wake-up call.

Xiahou Dun could completely lead his troops to surround the four gates, besiege him without attacking, and consume him to death.

After all, a lot of his food and forage had been burned during the previous turmoil in the family.

Can't wait too long.

"Hold on for another half an hour, enough for Yide to lead his troops to the boat."

"Zilong, quickly send someone to spread the word about the entire army, and withdraw from the South Gate in an orderly manner, leaving [-] archers and [-] infantry here."

Obviously.

These seven thousand people, Liu Bei intends to give up.

No way, Xiahou Dun's army of [-] was just outside the city.
