Liu Bei was extremely anxious when he saw that his second brother Guan Yu was seriously injured by Huang Zhong and his third brother Zhang Fei was also seriously injured.

He knew that if he continued to fight, his two brothers might face life-threatening danger.

Therefore, he made a prompt decision and ordered a withdrawal without hesitation.

Liu Bei's decision did not take into account Shen Pei's thoughts, because he was more concerned about the safety of his brothers.

He believed that at this critical moment, protecting his brothers was more important than pursuing victory.

So he resolutely led the army to retreat, hoping to bring them back to a safe area for treatment as soon as possible.

Shen Pei understood Liu Bei's decision and actively cooperated. After all, they were all Liu Bei's sworn brothers, and the relationship must be very good.

And Shen Pei also realized that the situation at this time had become very complicated, and continuing to fight might lead to more losses.

So, he and Liu Bei issued an order to withdraw the army together.

At the same time, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan and Wen Pin of the Yellow Turban Army saw Liu Bei's army retreating and requested to pursue. However, Huang Zhong stopped them.

Huang Zhong calmly analyzed: "Now is not the time to kill the enemy. We need to retain our strength and wait for the right time to act. When we attack Jizhou in the future, you will have a greater opportunity to show your ability."

"Now, let's focus on dealing with those enemy soldiers who have fallen behind and try to get them to surrender."

Hearing Huang Zhong's suggestion, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan and Wen Pin immediately understood the deep meaning.

They knew that although they could not pursue Liu Bei at this moment, by surrendering those remnants, they could weaken the enemy's strength and strengthen their own team.

So, they immediately took the order and began to surrender those enemy soldiers who had fallen behind.

This battle was a huge loss for Liu Bei. Not only did he not win, but his second and third brothers were also seriously injured. It would be impossible for them to recover without one or two months.

......

Lu Zhi didn't know that Zhu Jun and Liu Bei had been defeated, and he was still commanding the army to attack the city.

"Haha, this Lu Zhi is isolated and helpless. Pass the order down, order Shan Xiongxin, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Fang La to lead the army out of the city to fight, and make sure to defeat Lu Zhi's Jizhou army in one battle!" Cheng Yaojin saw that Lu Zhi was still preparing to command the siege, and he immediately gave the order without pretending.

"Yes, General!" Shan Xiongxin, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Fang La immediately accepted the order and led the army out of the city.

At the same time, three thousand White Tiger cavalrymen also followed Shan Xiongxin and rushed to the front.

"Not good, quickly resist the enemy!" Lu Zhi did not expect the Yellow Turban Army to choose to take the initiative to attack, which disrupted his siege plan.

He quickly ordered the army to line up to meet the enemy, but at this time the Yellow Turban Army was in full swing, and the soldiers had no time to react, and were beaten to pieces by the Yellow Turban Army's charge.

Shan Xiongxin waved the long spear in his hand and led the White Tiger Cavalry to rush into the camp of the Jizhou Army as if he was in an empty space. Wherever he passed, blood splattered and corpses flew.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Fang La each led an army and rushed into the Jizhou Army from different directions, forming a siege with Shan Xiongxin.

Although the Jizhou Army had a large number of people, they were suddenly in chaos under the sudden attack of the Yellow Turban Army and could not organize an effective resistance at all.

"Kill!" Shan Xiongxin roared, waved the long spear in his hand, and a Jizhou Army general was killed by him.

Then, he continued to lead the White Tiger Cavalry to charge towards Lu Zhi's position.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi was shocked. He knew that he might be defeated here this time.

But he did not retreat, but drew his sword and went into battle to kill the enemy himself.

"Everyone, follow me to kill the enemy, don't be afraid!" Lu Zhi shouted loudly, trying to boost morale.

However, the Jizhou army had been killed and abandoned, and not many people responded to his call.

Soon, Shan Xiongxin and others broke through the Jizhou army's defense line and killed in front of Lu Zhi.

"Old Lu Zhi, today is your death!" Shan Xiongxin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he stabbed Lu Zhi with the long spear in his hand.

Lu Zhi waved his sword to block Shan Xiongxin's attack, but he was old after all, and his physical strength was far less than when he was young. After a few rounds, he gradually couldn't hold on.

"Puff!" Finally, Shan Xiongxin found a flaw and knocked Lu Zhi off his horse with a spear.

Shan Xiongxin remembered the lord's plan. Now was not the time to kill Lu Zhi, so he still held back, otherwise Lu Zhi would definitely die.

As Lu Zhi was seriously injured and unconscious, the people responsible for commanding the Jizhou army became the three generals under Lu Zhi, Zhang He, Pan Feng, and Gao Lan.

The three looked at each other and saw in each other's eyesA solemn look appeared on his face.

"Retreat, we can't stop that cavalry. If we don't retreat, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out!" Zhang He said with a heavy face.

He has realized that if he continues to fight, he will not only fail to defeat the enemy, but also put himself in a desperate situation.

More importantly, they must retreat as soon as possible to buy more time for Lu Zhi to treat.

Pan Feng and Gao Lan nodded, and they agreed with Zhang He's judgment.

Although they were full of reluctance, they knew that there was no chance of winning at this time. Only by preserving their strength can they have a chance to rise again in the future.

So, they issued an order to withdraw and led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat.

Shan Xiongxin led the White Tiger Army to chase and kill for a while, and after killing more than a thousand Jizhou soldiers, he stopped chasing when he saw that the enemy had been defeated.

He knew the truth that you should not chase after a desperate enemy, not to mention that this was just a goal to hit the morale of the enemy, not to annihilate all its troops.

Therefore, he ordered the White Tiger Army to withdraw to the city and quickly report the battle situation to Li Cunxiao.

This victory made Shan Xiongxin very satisfied. Although they did not achieve a complete victory, they successfully repelled the enemy and defended the city.

At the same time, they also had a deeper understanding of the enemy, which provided strong support for subsequent strategic decisions.

After returning to the city, Shan Xiongxin immediately reported the battle situation to Cheng Yaojin, who smiled with relief after learning about it.

"Haha, you did a good job. Now that Lu Zhi has been seriously injured in this battle, it should be a while before Lu Zhi attacks again!"

Just when Cheng Yaojin was praising Shan Xiongxin, Xi Zhicai came over and said, "I just got the news that Zhu Jun and Liu Bei were both defeated. Zhu Jun suffered heavy casualties, and Liu Bei's second and third brothers were both seriously injured. It is impossible for them to go to the battlefield again in a short time."

Cheng Yaojin laughed out loud when he heard this. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were Liu Bei's left and right arms. Now that both arms are temporarily disabled, it is impossible for them to make a comeback, at least not within a few months.
