Fang Yue led the most elite Jizhou cavalry under Zhang Jaw to get out of the edge of the battlefield, at first because there were only hundreds of enemy troops there, not to mention that the offensive was not fierce, Wen Ping did not take it to heart, so when they rode horses and rushed out of the blockade, Wen Ping was also caught off guard, and when they reacted, they were entangled by the headquarters of General Duliao led by Zhang Jaw.

At this time, as the morale of the Wenpin army itself was very high, and each of them had the heart of death to repay Liu Yuanjun's kindness to them, and everyone knew that as long as they garrisoned this enemy army, they could make Liu Biaonan enter Yicheng. How long they can drag it out is not in their minds, they just think about how long they can drag it out...... It's a normal thought, and if they think about how long they can drag on and then get out of here, they won't be standing here at all.

Because no one could stop the footsteps of the Yan clan's southern attack, the huge ship array on the Yingshui was terrifying, tens of thousands of soldiers landed on the shore, and it was even more difficult to stop their attack in 3,000.

The entire Jingzhou army left behind to prevent the general headquarters of Du Liao from landing on the south bank here, and they all had a breath of qi in their hearts, and it was this qi that supported them to not break up in the face of the enemy charge three times their size, and even roared and counterattacked.

But Fang Yue led the cavalry to rush out of the blockade, and chased straight towards the avenue outside Xiangyang City in the direction where the main force of the Jingzhou army fled, until it disappeared from people's field of vision, and then dispersed the anger in the hearts of the Jingzhou army who were left here. If the morale is gone, it will be difficult to fight against the more numerous sergeants of the Liao generals.

The battle lasted only half an hour, the morale of the Jingzhou army left behind dropped sharply in the course of the battle, some soldiers scattered and fled, and some soldiers charged the Yan army regardless of the formation and finally died under the strong bow and crossbow, and finally Wen Ping led the remnants of the army to retreat into Xiangyang City, there were more than 1,000 soldiers when they originally retreated, and only more than 600 people remained after entering Xiangyang.

The biggest casualties of his subordinates were to block the enemy when they fled from outside the city into the urn city, even if the soldiers of the civil recruitment department fought bravely, the urn city gate of the north gate of Xiangyang was still breached, but fortunately, they put down the hanging gate of the north gate, and blocked the enemy army in the urn city, and when their soldiers climbed the city tower and shot at the urn city from the four walls, the enemy army withdrew from the urn city like a tide.

In Zhang Jaw's opinion, the situation at this time was meaningless to continue in Xiangyang and Wenpin, and immediately left a group of soldiers and horses led by Luo Shi, the captain of Montenegro, to surround the city, and then continued to send troops to chase after Liu Biao's southward Yicheng.

Wen Ping was trapped in the lonely city, but there were only a few hundred soldiers, and Zhang Jaw didn't think he could do anything big. Before the southern attack, Zhang Jaw had already sent a message to Gao Ran, who was guarding the other side of the Yingshui River in Nanyang, and Gao Ran could lead the army here in a few days at most, and there were only two choices left for Wen Ping, either to open the city and surrender, or to destroy the city.

As for now, the purpose of opening his jaw is to catch Liu Biao, even if he can't catch it, bite his team's tail, and cause him enough chaos to make the soldiers and civilians of Jingzhou lose their courage when they hear Yan Zhao's momentum.

What is a clerk and what is it used for?

Jaw opening doesn't care!

In the past, he had not been so decisive in terms of small-scale tactics or large-scale strategies, but his feet on the land of Jingzhou seemed a little unscrupulous. Jingzhou is nothing to fear for Zhang Jaw.

Whether it is Liu Biao, who has been in Jingzhou, or Cao Cao, who has just arrived in Jingzhou, it is nothing to fear for Zhang Jaw.

Zhang Liao is just to the south, and I heard that he has marched to Huarong, and Huarong knows about this place. Jingzhou can be divided into five parts: east, west, north, south, and middle, and the north is undoubtedly Nanyang, which has now fallen into the hands of the general of Duliao; To the east is Jiangxia, which is Zhang Liao's bag; Two counties in the south rebelled against Liu Biao, and Changsha is now in the hands of Cao Cao; The remaining west and middle are Liu Biao's current territory.

If he can take advantage of the situation to seize the two most prosperous counties of Xiangyang and Yicheng in the middle of Nanjun, then Liu Biao will only have a poor place to go to the west of Nanjun, and he will be forced into Yizhou in the end.

Huarong, which Zhang Liao attacked, was on the front line due north of Xiangyang, and there was not much land left for Liu Biao among them.

In fact, Zhang Jaw was looking forward to Liu Biao and Cao Cao hiding in Yizhou together, this kind of scene is very interesting to think about. The topography of Yizhou is very interesting, Wuling Mountain, Daba Mountain, Qinling Mountains three large mountain ranges isolate Yizhou from the Central Plains, only two troops and horses are stationed in Hanzhong, Nanjun two places, can completely block Yizhou.

As long as there are three princes in Yizhou, it is enough for them to kill and kill by themselves, where is there still the strength to find trouble with the Yan family.

When they are defeated, the Yan soldiers and horses will go all the way from north to south, all the way from east to west, and they can all be drawn in one battle.

This is the most convenient situation for Zhang Jaw to deal with them in addition to capturing Cao Cao and Liu Biao in this battle. That is to say, in the hope of opening the jaw, if the two thieves cannot be successfully captured in this battle, they should try to prevent them from fleeing elsewhere, although they are driven westward.

Fang Yue's cavalry came and went like the wind, but after all, the chariots and horses of Jingzhou Mansion had been walking for too long, and the journey two hours in advance was full of torture for them. The terrain of Jingzhou is not flat, although Liu Biao is well governed, the official road is still quite wide, more than 800 horsemen chased for an hour, and it was not until the sun set in the west that he finally saw the vast smoke and dust of the brigade of men and horses galloping from a distance.

Liu Biao is not like when he entered Jingzhou, he rode alone, he withdrew from Xiangyang, with tens of thousands of officials, carriages and horses sandwiched the road is different, people dragged their families and mouths on the road and left a lot of objects, see the pursuit of the Jizhou veteran who participated in the battle of Dong Hehe.

"How similar it is to when Dong Gong moved the capital!"

It's not like Dong Zhuo when he moved the capital, but it's not as big as the scale of the people who will flee.

Liu Biao is a person of great affection, he even escaped with the soldiers of Xiangyang, and went to Yicheng to take refuge with soldiers and horses, and even on the way, he thought that when he arrived in Yicheng, he would first send troops to send these people to Zhijiang or other places that would not be threatened by war for the time being. But after thinking about it, Zhijiang and other places are not so safe, even if he retreats Yanbei, he will definitely fight Cao Cao again, and then the south will no longer be comfortable.

Just thinking about these things, suddenly there was a commotion in the rear that alarmed Liu Biao, who was pondering, and the car was heavily bumped by stones, Liu Biao asked Cai Shi to pull the curtain and ask the entourage what was going on in the rear.

Cai's just opened the curtain, and saw the smoke and dust billowing behind him, more than a dozen horsemen galloped over, and the Jingzhou general, who was immediately wearing helmets and armor, rode his horse and shouted: "The thieves are coming, quickly protect the king's officials and people, and the rest will form a formation and prepare to resist the enemy!" ”
