Yan Liang was in a desperate situation, there was not much food, and his morale was low.

In the city, Yan Liang pondered in the county office.

"80,000 cavalry, my infantry can't escape, in addition, if you wait for the pursuers behind to come up, I'm afraid they will all have to be explained here, Pinggu County can't hold it, and it is impossible to wait for support."

Yan Liang thought about it, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun had more than 70,000 cavalry, and the drama in the back would arrive in a few days, and he would really not be able to run away at that time.

It's only a matter of a few days to run, but at this time, morale is low, and it is very dangerous to break through at this time.

Therefore, Yan Liang was very embarrassed at this time.

How much does it really make sense to give up some armies?

These abandoned troops no longer have any hope, and they used to think that they could escape to Pinggu County, but now in Pinggu County, Yan Liang has no hope.

Later, Yan Liang received more information, which was a scout sent a few days ago.

"Zhang Yu is really ruthless enough, he actually took the entire territory of Yuyang County and controlled Jixian County, it seems that I am desperate." Yan Liang said with a sigh.

He himself locked up and lamented that if others found out, the army would not be able to control it.

"This is the overall situation, Zhang Yu is really courageous, the lord is losing." Yan Liang muttered to himself again.

Yan Liang felt terrible after thinking about it carefully, and Zhang Yu arranged a shocking game.

This bureau loaded all his soldiers and horses into it.

At this time, Yan Liang did not have any way to break the situation.

But he also knew that it had to be solved as soon as possible, otherwise when Xi Zhi caught up, then he would have no possibility.

"The lord treats me like a mountain, even if I try my best, I will try my best to protect the interests of the lord." Yan Liang thought secretly.

At this time, Du Yanliang no longer had the luxury of hoping to bring back many troops, but he always had to fight out part of Zhang Yu's army.

Since you can't escape, you'll be dead.

Yan Liang wanted to fight a battle in the city.

After making a decision, Yan Liang acted quickly, and sent soldiers early the next morning to drive all the people in the city out of the city, and then collected all their grain.

The city immediately boiled with resentment, but what could ordinary people do in the face of the army.

In the past, these armies were to protect them, and they had helped this army before, but it was only a long time before they pointed their butcher's knives at them.

These soldiers were also a little resistant, they had been stationed here for a short time, some of them were still from this city, but now they are like this.

But military orders are military orders, and they must carry them out.

"General Huang, General Zhao, the Yuan army inside has driven out all the people in the city." The soldier came to report it.

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong rushed to the city gate to check after receiving the news.

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun did not surround the city, but stationed five miles away, they were cavalry, they were not afraid of them running, they were afraid that they would not run.

"Brother Hansheng, what do you think is going to be going on?" Zhao Yun asked.

"It is estimated that Yan Liang wants to defend Pinggu County to the death, or fight us in the city, he knows that in the wild, he is not our opponent at all." Huang Zhong said.

"Hehe, does this Yan Liang want to break the net? However, according to the lord's plan, Yan Liang's idea fell through. Zhao Yun said.

At this time, Yan Liang didn't have much chance at all, and it was impossible for him to lead troops to attack other cities, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong followed behind, and attacking the city could only be attacked from both sides.

"Guide these people well and scatter them in other cities, but be careful to see if there are any spies from Yuan's army mixed in." Huang Zhong said.

Huang Zhong was still afraid that the soldiers of Yuan's army would blend in with the people and take the opportunity to escape, and he was even more afraid that they would join forces with the outside.

But it doesn't matter if there are a few, there are many of them, they are all strong men who have been trained, and they will definitely be discovered.

In one day, the people who came out were scattered and settled, and there were no accidents.

Huang Zhong didn't know if there were any enemy soldiers hiding inside, and even if there were, it wouldn't be too many, and they didn't have time to discern it.

The people were finally settled, and the two sides resumed their confrontation.

Another day passed, the sky was bright, and the soldiers of the Yuan army, who had been busy all day, nervously arranged in the city.

They laid out many fortifications in the streets, intending to fight the enemy in them.

The harvested grain can last for a few more days, and for a few days, Yan Liang also feels that it is enough.

After two busy days, they set up the city.

In the past two days, they arranged a large number of ambushes at the city gate, just for fear of a sudden attack by the enemy, but after two days, when they were busy, the enemy never appeared.

Two days later, Xi Zhi arrived.

"Strategist."

"General Huang, General Zhao."

Xi Zhicai met Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun.

This time, Xi Zhicai only brought 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses guarded the prisoners along the road, scattering some people.

After the convergence, Xi Zhi asked about Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun.

"Strategist, what do you say Yan Liang is going to do?" Zhao Yun asked.

Xi Zhicai said: "Yan Liang is also the number one person in Hebei, he naturally understands his situation, and it is estimated that he is going to fight a decisive battle with us." ”

Xi Zhicai thought for a while and said: "The soldiers of the Yuan army must be very desperate now, but we can't let them completely despair, let alone fight with them, there is no benefit in fighting them at this time, anyway, they can't run, and we have to take the initiative in a decisive battle." ”

"We retreat ten miles, do not surround them, and there are dozens of miles away from the next city, not to mention that they dare not attack, even if they attack, they can't beat down, if they dare to go out of the city, the cavalry will attack, and it will be easy to beat them to a rout." Xi Zhicai said.

Huang Zhong agreed with Zhao Yun that it was indeed unwise to enter the city to fight them.

After deciding, they immediately retreated, directly retreating ten miles.

Originally, the army was outside the city, which put a lot of pressure on the soldiers of the Yuan army, and this pressure also brought them together.

However, now the enemy has withdrawn his troops all at once.

They don't have the pressure anymore.

They were all at a loss, what the hell was going on?

In the end, it is still not fighting.

All the soldiers were at a loss.

Yan Liang received the news with a gloomy face.

"Damn, you won't even give me one last chance." Yan Liang hopes for a decisive battle and finally dies on the battlefield, which is what a general and a soldier should do.

But now, it is not so easy to think of a decisive battle, the enemy does not give him a chance at all and retreats directly.

All the pressure is on Yan Liang, and he has to face an important decision again.

This decision is not easy to make, the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

There was depression in the army, and the whole city was devoid of the people and the hustle and bustle, just like the Yuan army camp, without the slightest anger.

It was as if all hope had been cut off.

This kind of atmosphere, where does the soldier still have any combat effectiveness, Yan Liang deeply understands this truth, this time he has met an opponent, and he has met a terrible opponent, although this opponent has been an old opponent for many years, but this is the first time he feels so terrible.
