Chapter 165

After Yuan Xi won for a while, his confidence increased greatly. Then he led his army to retreat, Su Li, and relied on the mountain to build camps, preparing to let the army take a break and rush to make siege equipment, and then launch a fierce attack on Yunting.

Early the next morning, Yuan Xi was discussing matters with Yuan Tan and others in the tent. A scout suddenly rushed in to report: "Second Young Master, eldest Young Master, there seems to be no one in Yunting, and it has become very quiet."

Everyone was stunned, and Guo Tu said with joy: "Yesterday's battle to defeat the enemy's spirit, and the enemy must have been scared, so he gave up Yunting and fled!"

Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan felt that what Guo Tu said made sense. When Lu Bu's army was defeated yesterday, his morale would inevitably be greatly reduced. It was almost impossible to defend Yunting again. They saw the opportunity quickly, so they gave up Yunting and fled south. Yuan Xi immediately said to the messenger: "Go and pass the order immediately and follow me to attack!" The messenger agreed and ran down. Seeing that Yuan Xi was majestic, Yuan Tan was unable to express his jealousy in his heart, but what's the use of jealousy? Yesterday, Yuan Xi did defeat Lu Bu's army head-on. While Yuan Tan was jealous, he couldn't help but feel resentful, resentful that he didn't take the initiative to attack yesterday? In that case, this great achievement could at least be divided with Yuan Xi, which was better than being dominated by him now.

Not long after, Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan led more than 100,000 troops under his command to the city gate. He looked up and looked up. Sure enough, he could not see a half-person figure on it, but the flag was still there.

Yuan Xi called Jiao Chu and ordered him to lead two thousand elites to climb up to see the situation. Jiao Chu got the order and immediately led two thousand elites under him to run under the city wall with ropes, threw the hook on, and then climbed up along the ropes. Not long after, Yuan Xi and others saw the door open wide. Jiao Chu rode his horse to Yuan Xi, and clasped his fists excitedly and said, "The second young master, there is no one inside, Lu Bu and the others have all escaped!"

Yuan Xi smiled proudly, waved the whip in his hand, and shouted, "Let's go!" The army started and slowly entered Yunting.

Yunting was not big, and you could see it at a glance. At this time, Yunting was indeed nowhere to be seen except for the hustle and bustle of Yuan’s army. Yuan Xi said proudly: “Lu Bu runs fast! People said, ‘Lu Bu is among people, Red Rabbit is among horses’. I didn’t believe it at first, but now I have to believe it. Isn’t Lu Bu’s ability to escape comparable to those of Red Rabbit?” Everyone couldn’t help laughing when they heard this. The generals under Yuan Xi all laughed loudly.

Yuan Xi was eager to counterattack and went back to completely defeat Lu Bu, shouting loudly: "The whole army obeys the order and chases Lu Bu, and cannot let him escape!" The generals responded with a loud promise and led their troops to the south. Yuan Xi led the central army to follow closely behind the generals.

Not far from the south gate, I saw thousands of officers and soldiers crowding at the door, but they didn't go out. I couldn't help but make a fuss and shouted, "What's going on? Why are they still here?"

Zhang Nan ran to Yuan Xi, clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, the city gate is blocked by countless big rocks!"

Yuan Xi was surprised and said in confusion: "What's going on?" Then he moved his heart and sneered: "Lu Bu was afraid of being pursued by our army, so he blocked the city gate with a big stone before escaping." Then he said to Zhang Nan: "Go and move the stone away!" Zhang Nan Yingnuo ran down and called on the officers and soldiers to move the stones. However, these stones were very huge and built and piled up in the door hole. Zhang Nan and the others spent nine times.

Niu Erhu's power only moved a huge rock away. After half of the stone was cleared, it took almost half an hour. Tens of thousands of people were crowded in the narrow Yunting Pass, while other troops were crowded outside the north gate and could not enter. Yuan Xi was anxious when he saw Zhang Nan's cleaning speed slow, but Yuan Tan beside him wanted Lu Bu to escape, so as not to snatch the great contribution of protecting Qingzhou and annihilation of Lu Bu by Yuan Xi.

"Huh? It's Lu Bujun!?" someone suddenly shouted.

Everyone was shocked and looked around quickly. They saw that Lu Bujun in black clothes and black armor appeared on the hills on both sides of the pass. Everyone was surprised. Yuan Tan said strangely: "What's going on? Didn't they escape?" Guo Tu and other advisers couldn't understand the truth.

Suddenly, many fire points flew down from the hills on both sides, but Lu Bu's army fired rockets from a high place. Guo Tu's expression moved and shouted in horror: "No! No! There is an ambush among us!"

Before he finished speaking, the screams rang out one after another. It turned out that flames were rising in many places in the pass. The flames quickly expanded, and the scene was terrifying!

"Escape! Escape!" Guo Tu shouted anxiously. Yuan Tan had already rode his horse toward the north. Yuan soldiers fled one after another, pushing and scrambling, and the cavalry didn't care about the infantry standing in front of him and knocked down the infantry and ran away. The scene was in chaos, and the angrily cursed and screamed.

Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and others escaped from the pass one after another. At this time, the flames had formed a surging momentum, turning a pass into a huge stove standing between the sky and the earth, burning wildly, and the flames soared into the sky!

More than 20,000 Yuan Jun had no time to escape from this sea of ​​fire, and the baby was burned to scream. His shrill screams echoed between the heaven and earth, which was creepy.

The Yuan army officers and soldiers who escaped and the Yuan army officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to enter the pass were stunned and frightened.

At this moment, the rumbling drums suddenly sounded like earth-shaking. The Yuan army officers and soldiers were shocked and suddenly saw countless Lu Bu army rushing out from the mountains and forests on both sides. The Yuan army officers and soldiers had just experienced the baptism of the sea of ​​fire and were in a state of fear. At this time, they saw countless Lu Bu infantry and cavalry coming from both sides like tides. Before they could fight, Yuan Tan had already led his army to escape. This escape made Yuan Xi, who had originally wanted to fight on the spot, lose his opinion. Before Yuan Xi's order came down, his officers and soldiers threw away their armor and ran towards the north. Tens of thousands of Yuan troops rushed first. Lu Bu cavalry first rushed into the middle of the Yuan army, and then the infantry rushed to the side. The one-sided battle continued until the evening.

Under the sunset, corpses were everywhere on the ground, and countless Yuan Shao's captives were escorted by Lu Bu's officers and soldiers to gather together. Some Lu Bu's officers and soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, packing up corpses, and collecting supplies that could still be used.

Ailang immediately stood on the hill, looking at the scene in front of him, feeling very happy. Huang Wudie immediately stood beside Ailang, looking at his side face, his eyes full of admiration.

Huang Zhong rode his horse up the hill, came to Ailang's side, held the horse, and said with his fists: "Lord, the enemy has been completely defeated. Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi each fled north with their remnants. Zilong was leading the cavalry to chase and die in the north."

Ailang smiled and said, "Okay! I finally got the anger I had before!" The anger that Ailang mentioned refers to the fact that he had been driven back by Yuan Jun not long ago and the failure of the Yunting battle not long ago. Huang Wudie couldn't help but smile and thought to himself: 'It's okay for the elder brother to be a hero! But sometimes, he is like a child and doesn't want to eat at all!' Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but show a look of pampering, and he wanted to hold his elder brother's head and coax him.

Ailang asked: "The enemy troops were basically wiped out, right?"

Huang Zhong clasped his fists and said, "The enemy army has many soldiers, and they probably escaped 50,000 or 60,000 people. However, all the enemy troops were annihilated, and not many killed, most of them were captured." "Okay! This is the best! Take good care of the prisoners and do not abuse them. When Qingzhou is captured, they will be our soldiers!" Huang Zhong clasped his fists and agreed, turned his horse and ran.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were completely defeated, leading the remaining defeated generals to flee. Along the way, they kept hearing the sound of opponents chasing and killing. They fled slowly and became the swords of Zhao Yun's cavalry. Yuan Xi felt that this was not a solution, so he urgently ordered Jiao Chu to lead the cavalry to break the rear. Jiao Chu immediately led thousands of cavalry to turn around to fight Zhao Yun's cavalry. However, these Yuan's cavalry, who were panicked and depressed and did not have the advantage of the number of people, were not the opponent of Zhao Yun's cavalry. After a big battle, Yuan's cavalry was everywhere, and nearly a thousand remaining cavalry fled in a hurry, and even refused to listen to Jiao Chu's orders. Jiao Chu saw that the situation was irreversible, so he joined the ranks of the fleeing.

Zhao Yun led the cavalry to advance wildly, and in just one day he had already reached the city of Linzi. Unfortunately, he was still one step late. Yuan Tan and others had already escaped into Linzi and closed the city gate. Zhao Yun took advantage of the momentum of victory to attack the city. However, the city of Linzi was tall. After all, Zhao Yun's army was all cavalry and lacked siege equipment. In the end, he was unfortunately unable to break the city in one fell swoop. Zhao Yun saw that his spirit was no longer as good as before, and knew that if he continued to fight, he would only increase casualties, so he immediately led the cavalry to retreat.

When Yuan soldiers in the city saw Zhao Yun retreat, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Many people were exhausted physically and mentally, and sat down.

Yuan Tan asked Xin Comment on his counselor around him: "How many soldiers do we have?"

Xin Ping frowned and said, "There are less than 20,000 people in total..."

Yuan Tan couldn't help but feel panic. His current mood was like a squandering young man. He suddenly realized that he had no money to use when he was in urgent need of money.

Yuan Tan said at a loss: "Now, what should I do now?"

Xin Ping frowned and said, "There are two ways to go now. One is to give up Qingzhou, flee back to Jizhou, and apologize to the lord..." Yuan Tan was shocked and shook his head and shouted, "No! I can't escape like this! What's the face of me to meet my father?"

Xin Ping said: "Then there is only one way. I will defend the city and send someone to ask for help from the lord."

At this time, Yuan Tan had completely lost confidence and couldn't help asking: "We, can we hold on?"

Xin Ping clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, don't lose confidence! There are more than 200,000 families in Qingzhou City, and each household has a strong man, and there is also a 200,000 army. Besides, our treasury is sufficient to grab food, and the armored armies are piled up like a mountain. As long as the young master does not lose confidence, we can definitely defend Qingzhou."
