He did not believe that Pei Zilie would lead his army to attack the city gate at this time. Wasn't Pei Zilie worried that reinforcements would be sent from the city? Therefore, it stands to reason that as long as Yuchishun can retreat to within half a mile of Xiangyang City, then he can still escape.
Day of birth.
But why is Pei Zilie still chasing after him now?
"Uncle!" Yuchikuan finally couldn't help it anymore, "I will lead three thousand soldiers and horses to respond. I don't need anything else. I only need the soldiers and horses under Sixth Brother who retreated first. We have our backs to the city and our numbers are small."
Young Master, Pei Zilie will definitely not dare to pursue you rashly!"
The other generals also looked over, obviously having the same idea as Yu Chikuan. Everyone knew that the young general was the old general's favorite and respected son. If something happened to the young general, it would be difficult for everyone to explain.
Just as Cao Xiaoda was about to speak, Yu Chikuan stepped forward and said, "This dispatch is only to use the soldiers and horses originally under the command of the sixth brother. I ask for my uncle's permission!"
Cao Xiaoda's expression changed. He vaguely sensed that something was wrong. There was even some hostility in the eyes of the generals around him.
Although this Xiangyang City is dominated by Cao Xiaoda, it is Yuchi Jiong's Xiangyang City after all. As Yuchi Jiong's eldest son, Yuchi Kuan is the real loyal object of these generals in the city. Although Cao Xiaoda is senior there, he must also pay attention to him
With his identity, it is not a good thing to dominate the scene, especially in the current situation where the enemy's army is pressing down on the border.
External troubles are serious enough, of course there cannot be any more internal troubles.
So now Cao Xiaoda has no choice: "Be careful!"
Yu Chikuan took a deep breath. He knew what kind of temper Cao Xiaoda was. At this time, he was still very happy that he could relax.
Seeing Yu Chikuan walking down the city gate quickly surrounded by generals, Cao Xiaoda felt helpless for a moment. Xiangyang City seemed to be under his control, but with so many constraints, how could he really do it?
In charge of the entire defense of Xiangyang?
Yuchishun's initiative to retreat this time was indeed an order given by Cao Xiaoda. After Xianshan could not hold out, if he still held on to Tanxi, he would have exposed his back to the enemy. Moreover, Yuchishun failed in the previous battle at Longzhong.
This is enough to prove that the gap in military strength between Yuchishun and Pei Zilie is very serious.
This gap in strength cannot be compensated for by the quality of soldiers and equipment, especially since Pei Zilie is not at a disadvantage in these two aspects.
Therefore, Cao Xiaoda did not expect Yuchishun to face Pei Zilie and Ren Zhong at the same time in the direction of Tanxi. It was already very good to be able to block Ren Zhong before.
But obviously Yuchi Shun didn't think so. He insisted on dispatching 3,000 soldiers and horses as an ambush, but it eventually turned into the current situation that was beyond control, and even made Yuchi Kuan dispatch another 3,000 soldiers and horses to support.
This meant that all the six thousand troops originally stationed on the banks of Tanxi participated in the battle again.
Cao Xiaoda sighed deeply and slammed his fist on the battlement: "Deploy two thousand troops and horses and hand them over to General Zhe Chong (Author's note: Yuchi Kuan's official title)."
Just bringing three thousand soldiers and horses forward is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. At least two thousand more people can play a big role.
As for the success or failure of this battle...
Cao Xiaoda subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Maybe only God knows.
——————————————-
Yu Chishun fled in a panic, and the entire army had been completely routed. However, Pei Zilie's troops were still chasing after Chen Zhishen, with Chen Zhishen as the vanguard.
This really surprised Yu Chishun. After all, not far ahead was Xiangyang City. At this time, the Xiangyang defenders had obviously taken action. You could see that the entire Xiangyang city was illuminated by lights.
Silhouettes appear in all realizations.
When they first dispersed and broke out, there were more than a hundred people around Yuchishun. Now there are only seven or eight personal guards left. Some of them were separated, and of course many more were slow in their steps and were eventually captured from behind.
The enemy caught up and killed him. At this time, Yuchishun could only regret why he walked on foot instead of riding a horse.
It's not a good feeling to feel like a bereaved dog.
"General, be careful!" A guard with quick eyesight and quick hands stopped behind Yuchishun, and several arrows roared out, piercing his chest in an instant. The guard did not even groan, and fell to the ground dead. The remaining
Several personal guards hurriedly gathered together to cover Yu Chishun.
"Capture Yu Chishun alive!" The voice behind him was getting louder and louder. Chen Zhishen had been fighting for a whole night. Instead of feeling tired, he became more and more energetic. Among all the voices, his loud voice was the most recognizable.
"Capture Yu Chishun alive!" The next moment, this voice echoed throughout the surrounding mountains and plains.
Yuchishun turned around and looked at the firelight, which was getting closer and closer, gradually illuminating half of the sky. The firelight was rolling like a tide, and he felt a little dazed for a moment.
I never thought that one day I would end up in this situation.
"Sixth Brother!" At this moment, chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded in front of him, followed immediately by a loud shout.
Yuchishun looked up in surprise, and saw a figure suddenly jumping out of the darkness. The crossbow in his hand shot behind Yuchishun. A Bashu soldier fell down at the sound, and the figure reined in the horse in front of Yuchishun.
Stretching out his hand: "Sixth brother, get on your horse quickly!"
Yuchi Shun hurriedly stretched out his hand, and groups of crossbowmen spread out from the left and right sides, constantly pouring arrows on the Bashu soldiers who were rushing forward.
"Let's go!" Yuchi Kuan roared and gave his horse a hard whip.
The Northern Zhou soldiers who followed him did not hesitate and retreated again. At this time, the Bashu army had just been forced back by the hail of arrows and had not had time to catch up, so this was a rare moment of opportunity.
Yuchishun felt his brother's strong palm and took a long breath. However, before he could follow his brother back to the city, a sharp roar suddenly came from one side. Yuchishun almost subconsciously pulled Yuchikuan off his horse.
Pushing down on his back, he rolled over and down. An arrow almost grazed his scalp and flew over. A moment later, more arrows shot Yuchikuan's mount into a hedgehog!
Yuchikuan got up from the ground with difficulty. His arms and legs had long been numb. It must be because Yuchishun's strength was not weak just now. But his horse neighed, ran a few steps, and fell to the ground. Yuchi
Kuan couldn't imagine that if Yu Chishun had moved slower just now, or if he had held the horse's reins a little tighter, he would have become almost like a war horse by now.
Yu Chikuan staggered and stood up holding his sword. He looked around. Between the light and darkness, several cavalrymen following him had been shot and fell. There were killing sounds all around. He didn't know how many enemies there were.
