When the barbarian army heard the order to retreat, their fighting spirit disappeared instantly and they turned around to escape. The originally rigorous military formation suddenly became messy. At this time, it also saw the gap between the barbarian army and the Central Plains army. The Central Plains army, no matter which prince's army was, would rarely look like this even if it was defeated. The Qin army chased after the ranks, and the barbarian army was defeated for more than ten miles and fled.

Before sunset that day, the barbarian army returned to the camp in Sanjia Village. Soon the Qin army chased and launched a fierce attack. Zhurong tried to rely on the camp to resist the attack of the Qin army, but after only one stick of incense, the Qin army broke into the camp! Under the impact of the Qin cavalry, the various units of the barbarian army accumulated blood and suffered heavy casualties, and they fled in panic! Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhurong had to escape from the camp and fled straight to the south of Yuan.

The barbarians ran all the way, thirsty and hungry, and the sunlight shone on their heads made everyone feel dizzy and even more tired.

"You see! You're here!" Someone suddenly shouted joyfully. Everyone looked up and looked forward, and they saw a city appearing in their sight. It was really Yuannan. Everyone was so happy that their originally exhausted bodies seemed to have recovered a lot of strength at once, and they rushed towards the other side.

Zhurong and Meng Huo led the defeated generals to the city gate. Meng Huo shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly! We are back!"

Countless people suddenly appeared on the top of the city. Zhurong and Meng Huo looked up at the top of the city and saw that the Qin army soldiers appeared on the top of the city. A burly Qin general laughed and said, "Barbar, Yuannan has been taken back for a long time!" Zhurong and Meng Huo were surprised. At this time, the city gate suddenly opened wide, and a team of Qin troops rushed out of the city gate to attack the barbarian army. They were exhausted and frightened, and the barbarian army could not resist the opponent's fierce attack. In an instant, they were washed away. Zhurong and Meng Huo did not dare to stop, and hurriedly led the remaining defeated generals around Yuannan and fled towards Yuanling. The Qin army attacking from the city took a while and then withdrew their troops and returned to the city.

Compared with the great victory in the south of Yuan, the Qin army in Xiangnan County was struggling to support the fierce attack of Sun Jian's army. In the past few days, I don't know how many fierce attacks Sun Jian's army has been repelled. The wreckage of various siege equipment is densely scattered outside the city!

In the evening that day, Sun Jian's army, who had been attacking for a whole day, finally retreated. Lu Meng and his officers and soldiers survived another day.

Sun Jian, Sun Ce, his son and his son, and all the generals walked into the tent. Sun Ce said angrily: "It's really hateful! He was unable to break through the city!" Sun Jian frowned, with a thoughtful look on his face, and said without saying a word. Sun Ce clasped his fists at Sun Jian and said, "Father, it's really not a solution to waste time here! I guess the barbarian army is already attacking Changsha, so it's better to leave one here to monitor it. The large army immediately bypassed Xiangnan and went directly to attack Changsha! As long as Changsha is captured, Xiangnan will be in a turtle in the jar!"

Sun Jian nodded thinking and said, "Okay! Just do it! The army bypassed Hunan and attacked Changsha early tomorrow morning!"

Early the next morning, Sun Jian and Sun Ce led a large army around Xiangnan County and directly marched into Changsha. At this time, the main force led by Ailang was still near Yuannan, and there were only a few thousand defenders in Changsha City.

Zhang Liao quickly came to the hall. The dusty scout who was waiting in the hall immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "General, Sun Jian's army is coming around the southern Hunan to Changsha!" Zhang Liao walked to the sand table, looked at the sand table in front of him and asked, "Where is Sun Jian's army now?" The scout pointed to a place dozens of miles south of Changsha and said, "It should be here!" Zhang Liao frowned and said, "It's so fast."

"A general next to him said hurriedly: "General, will he send the message to the King of Qin immediately?" Zhang Liao frowned and said, "The message must be sent. But the King of Qin may not be able to come back in time." After a pause, he said to the general: "Send the order, all the troops will be ready to fight." The general Yingnuo ran down and Zhang Liao said to the scout again: "Continue to monitor the movements of the enemy!" The scout Yingnuo ran down.

Zhang Liao looked at the sand table in front of him, frowned and murmured: "Just hold on for two days, the King of Qin will be able to come back!"

In the afternoon of the same day, the scouts again reported that Sun Jian's army was only more than twenty miles away from the city. Zhang Liao estimated that the enemy would be able to arrive before nightfall and launch an attack, so he left the lobby of the capital and came to the city gate tower. Looking south, he just waited for the enemy to appear.

Time was waiting to pass. Before we knew it, the sun sets westward and it is already dusk. A rapid sound of horse hooves came from outside the city, and a scout was galloping from a distance. Not long after, the scout rushed to the outside of the city gate, grabbed the horse and raised a flag in his hand and shouted: "Urgent Military Information Report! Open the city gate immediately!" Seeing this, the captain of the city gate immediately ordered his officers and soldiers to open the city gate. The scout rode his horse in, and the city gate closed.

After a while, the scout rushed to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao asked, "Has the enemy arrived?" The scout reported: "Report to the general, the enemy suddenly turned around and headed south not long ago!" Zhang Liao felt very surprised. Then he thought that this was a conspiracy between the other party? He did not dare to neglect, and ordered the troops in the city to continue to be on guard and not relax. At the same time, he ordered the scout to continue to investigate Sun Jian's army's movements.

In the middle of the night that day, the scout reported another report: "Report to General, the enemy troops retreated to southern Hunan without any stop. They immediately crossed the river and retreated south!"

Zhang Liao showed a look of surprise on his face, then smiled slightly, as if he understood what was going on. The general on the side said in confusion: "It would be fine if Sun Jian's army did not come to attack Changsha, why did even Xiangnan give up the attack?" Zhang Liao smiled and said: "It's nothing strange! It must be that they learned of the miserable defeat of the barbarian army and were worried that the lonely army would encounter an unexpected situation, so they immediately changed their original plan to retreat south!" The general suddenly realized, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Zhang Liao returned to the lobby of the capital and wrote a letter and handed it to the commander, asking him to pass it to the King of Qin immediately.

After Ailang defeated the barbarian army in one battle, he pursued the westward and did not stop until Yuannan. Ailang stood in front of the map, looking at the map, frowned slightly, and seemed a little hesitant. He was hesitating whether to continue to attack westward and completely defeat the southern barbarian army and recover Yuanling, or immediately turn south to deal with Sun Jian's army. Several generals stood around and looked at Ailang. Huang Wudie couldn't help but say, "Brother, the enemy has become a frightened bird, we should do our best to completely defeat them!" Dian Wei and Wen Chou nodded and agreed.

Ailang glanced at the generals, laughed and said, "What are you doing in such a hurry? Don't forget, there is a large army of Sun Jian behind us!" The generals were stunned, and then remembered what happened to Sun Jian. Huang Wudie couldn't help but frown and said, "I don't know how the battle is going on in Xiangnan? If Xiangnan is lost, we have to go back even if we don't want to go back!" As he said that, he looked at Ailang, and saw Ailang touching his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.

At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside. Everyone couldn't help but look at the door. A personal soldier led a dusty messenger in.

As soon as the commander saw Ailang, he immediately stepped forward and bowed: "King of Qin, the villain brought his handwritten letter at the order of General Zhang Liao!" As he said that, he immediately took off the bag on his back, opened it, took out the bamboo slips, and presented them to Ailang with both hands. Ailang took the bamboo slips and read them with his hands. Suddenly, he laughed and said, "Okay! That's great! Sun Jian and Sun Ce ran away by himself!" The generals suddenly heard this and couldn't help but look happy. Ailang smiled and said to the generals: "Don't worry about anything now. Let's continue to attack Yuanling and drive these southern barbarians back to the mountains first!" Everyone agreed.

Ailang thought for a while and said to Huang Gai: "Huang Gai, you will immediately return to Changsha to help Wenyuan defend the city." Huang Gai held his fists and agreed. The reason why Ailang arranged this way was just in case. Ailang considered that if Sun Jian's army returned, if Huang Gai's eight thousand naval troops assisted Zhang Liao in defending the city, Sun Jian and his son would never be able to take Changsha in a short time.

Speaking of which, Zhurong and Meng Huo led the defeated generals to flee west along the Yuanshui River and finally fled into Yuanling. Zhurong, who was shocked, immediately ordered his subordinates to check the losses. Soon after, his hands came down to report to her: "Queen, there are only about 30,000 left in the return tribe! The Meng Huo tribe was almost wiped out!" Zhu Rong looked shocked. Although she knew that her side had suffered heavy losses, she did not expect that the loss would be so huge! This was far beyond her imagination!

At this moment, the scout rushed in panic and reported: "It's bad, the queen! It's bad, the queen! Han people, Han people are coming here!" Everyone present suddenly heard this and was shocked. Everyone's eyes immediately gathered on Zhurong and Meng Huo's faces.

Meng Huo frowned and said sternly: "Come on! Come on! We have a city to defend now, but I don't believe that we can't defeat them!" However, Meng Huo's words did not inspire everyone's fighting spirit at all, and everyone looked worried. Zhu Rong frowned and said: "Our army suffered too much loss! The enemy's morale is in full swing! This is not our place. We stay here as if we stayed in the tiger's den waiting for the tigers to siege! Smart hunters would never do such a thing!" The leaders nodded and agreed. Meng Huo looked depressed, but didn't say anything.

Seeing that everyone did not object, Zhurong said, "Send the order and immediately give up Yuanling and retreat into the mountains!" Everyone agreed.

Ailang Wenchou led thousands of cavalry troops to the outside of Yuanling City first. However, as soon as he arrived here, he saw that the gate of Yuanling City was wide open, looking unprepared. Ailang immediately knew that the barbarians had fled, and immediately led a large army into the city. The local residents who had been hiding at home for many days were worried about seeing the Qin army back, and they all walked out of the house to welcome Ailang and the others. Yuanling recovered it with blood.
