On the north gate, Xu Huang's 10,000 reinforcements were fighting with the soldiers of the Sun and Liu coalition forces. He had been waiting for the movement of the Xiangyang North Gate, but for some reason, why was there no movement yet.

In fact, this cannot be said to be slow in Man Chong, but Xu Huang was a little anxious. After all, he had to escape early before Sun Ce and Liu Bei led the army to the North Gate. Otherwise, it was Man Chong and others. I guess he could not run away even if he had been there. So how could he not be anxious? As a result, the more anxious he was, the more he felt that the other party was too slow. Isn’t this just like this? And the more anxious you were, the more you felt that the other party hadn’t come yet, just because there was no movement, but in fact it didn’t take that long.

Just when Xu Huang was anxious, he heard the movements of the north gate of Xiangyang. First, someone should have gathered at the city gate. Of course, they were inside the city gate, and then they heard the soldiers shouting and killing. At this time, even the city gate was opened. When Xu Huang saw that the north gate of Xiangyang was opened, a big stone in his heart temporarily fell to the ground. He thought to himself, this matter was almost done.

-----------------------------------------------------

So at this moment he heard him shout, "Brothers, our people come out, everyone should protect them from retreating!"

When the soldiers of Yanzhou brought by Xu Huang were even more energetic when they heard this, they immediately became more energetic. To be honest, the soldiers of Yanzhou didn't like night battles so much, but because they were to rescue their troops in Xiangyang, and the other party had no precautions against them. So now they have always been in an advantage. However, everyone knew that before Sun Ce and the others had brought the army, they had to retreat safely. Otherwise, they would be besieged by others.

Man Chong rushed out from the north gate with all the Yanzhou soldiers in Xiangyang City. When he saw the current situation on the battlefield, he thought to himself that it was God who helped me, "There is no way out." As long as Sun Ce and Liu Bei led the army to successfully retreat, it can be said that it was a victory.

It is true that this is the time. Naturally, he did not expect anything else, such as defending the city or winning. None of them is important for retreating safely. It is easy to say that he is still the soldiers on his side, so...

-----------------------------------------------------

Man Chong also has to say that Xu Huang came this time in time. At least he knew. If Xu Huang came one day late, maybe Xiangyang City had been compromised by the Sun and Liu coalition forces. But his soldiers and themselves were absolutely impossible to be spared. At least you should not think about it except surrender. Of course, you have to think that you have the ability to rush out of the siege of more than 100,000 troops, and then you can survive, but this matter. Anyway, Man Chong has never thought about it.

Although there were less than 1,500 soldiers in Xiangyang City before, Man Chong knew it clearly. The remaining soldiers guarding the city can be said to be considered strong soldiers, so Xu Huang came to support and rescue these soldiers to increase his strength. This is absolutely true. And he is indeed the case. As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he will never give up his brothers in his robes.

Man Chong, who rushed out of the northern gate with less than 1,500 Yanzhou soldiers, was still shouting, "Brothers, our reinforcements are right in front of me, follow me, tonight is the time to break out of the encirclement!"

"kill!"

...

-----------------------------------------------------

Although there are only less than 1,500 people left on Man Chong, to be honest, in order to escape their lives, they burst out with very strong combat power, and they shouted loudly, not like 1,500 people, but like 5,100 people.

At this time, Man Chong was satisfied and said that as long as he left tonight before Sun Ce and Liu Bei came, his soldiers would be safe, so he would definitely not be able to fight at this time, and escaping was the most important thing.

So Man Chong said, "Hurry, brothers, don't be willing to fight, retreat north!"

Indeed, Man Chong’s reminder is really necessary. After all, it is not the most important thing to kill the enemy now, but the most important thing to retreat. So he reminded some Yanzhou soldiers, telling them that they were not here to kill the enemy at this time, but to retreat. If Sun Ce and Liu Bei led the army, then you may not be able to run away if you want to run.

Isn't that right? The soldiers did not think that the people on their side could compete with more than 100,000 soldiers. Even if the combat power of their soldiers might be weaker than that of their side, but the number of people in their own country was there, this was no longer a problem.

-----------------------------------------------------

After Xu Huang saw Man Chong and the others rush out of the north gate, he shouted, and he knew that tonight's action was half successful. As for that half, then he had to lead the army to Sun Ce and Liu Bei. Everyone on his side retreated safely. Only then can the action tonight be completely successful.

So he and his soldiers covered Man Chong and his retreat. Their distance was not very far before, and when Man Chong led the Yanzhou soldiers in Xiangyang City to rush forward and back, they were closer. However, because it was still very urgent at this time, even though Xu Huang and Man Chong were not too far away, they didn't say anything. After all, at this time, everyone knew that retreating was the most important thing, and the rest could only be said later.

After all, after peace retreats, there are opportunities to speak, but there is no chance at this time. After all, war is the most important thing, and you really don’t want to be too distracted.

In this way, Xu Huang and Man Chong, with their soldiers, fought and retreated. Before Sun Ce and Liu Bei arrived, they slowly retreated.

-----------------------------------------------------

Sun Ce and Liu Bei had already taken their soldiers to the north gate of Xiangyang respectively. Sun Ce still thought that their soldiers were too slow. He shouted: "The whole army marched urgently, and try to arrive at the north gate as soon as possible!"

Zhou Yu next to him said at this time, "If the lord thinks the soldiers are too slow, you can bring cavalry to support the North Gate first. I wonder what this is?"

Sun Ce nodded after hearing this, "Gongjin's words are good, and they are very suitable for me. But I don't know what Duke Xuande thinks?"

After hearing Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's words, Liu Bei nodded and said, "It's so good. It's up to Mr. Gongjin and the general!"

After all, the coalition forces are Sun and Liu, so they have to lead cavalry to rescue the North Gate. Sun Ce will definitely not let Liu Bei fall behind, so naturally they have to pull Liu Bei together.

As for Liu Bei, he also understood. In fact, this is the best way now, so naturally he would not refuse.

-----------------------------------------------------

So in this way, the two of them were each carrying their own cavalry and rushed to the north gate of Xiangyang at the fastest speed.

Originally, when the two of them thought that they were both using cavalry, they were still at the fastest speed. Could it be that they could not block them before the Yanzhou army retreated? As a result, when they arrived at the North Gate, Sun Ce and Liu Bei realized that they were wrong, and they were not what they thought.

Yes, they all ran away, but they had already run away. Even though they came with cavalry, they were still one step late.

Sun Ce held the spear in his hand and stabbed it into the land with force. The tail of the spear trembled, just like Sun Ce's mood now, it was very bad. As for Liu Bei, he was better than him. After all, Liu Bei was rich in experience and had more experiences than Sun Ce. He was nearly twenty years older than Sun Ce, so naturally it was not something that Sun Ce could compare with.

But to be honest, Liu Bei was really impressed by the speed of the Yanzhou army's retreat. He originally thought that even in the world, he could escape very quickly, but now after seeing this, the Yanzhou army is actually not inferior this time. It turns out that "there are people outside of people, and there is heaven beyond the sky."

-----------------------------------------------------

This is really true. If you don’t accept it, at least for Liu Bei, I really admire them.

If Xu Huang and Man Chong knew that Liu Bei, a "escape expert", admired them very much, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. At least the two of them knew very well that Liu Bei was definitely a capable person in this way. Even in the whole world, there were definitely few people who could surpass him, so it was really not easy to make him think so.

At this time, Sun Ce looked at Liu Bei and asked, "Donald Xuande thought, what?"

Liu Bei smiled bitterly at this time. Can he not see it? Although Sun Ce was unwilling to accept it, this has always been like this before. When he saw that the other party had already retreated, he had been like this. But it was much better at this time, at least he had controlled himself, so he treated this more rationally.

The reason why he asked himself was not that Sun Bofu wanted to ask himself what was going on. That was an illusion. How could he not know? In fact, Sun Bofu meant that now that the Yanzhou army has withdrawn, you, Liu Xuande, don’t chase him, what do you think?

-----------------------------------------------------

Sun Ce didn't say that, of course he couldn't say that, but that's what he meant, but that's actually that. Liu Bei has known him for a while, so how could he not know what Sun Ce meant? Also, based on his decades of experience in Liu Bei, he still doesn't know what Sun Ce thought, so he naturally understood what he meant.

Although Liu Bei also knew that this meaning was definitely not very consistent with his Sun Bofu's personality, because of Sun Ce's consideration at this time, Liu Bei knew that that was it.

After all, even if the Yanzhou army is the common enemy of both sides, this is good. But if they really catch up with them, once the other side fights to the death, the casualties of the Jiangdong army may not be certain. Moreover, the cavalry on its own side is not as many as his Jiangdong army. So of course that is no good for them. Besides, both sides are mainly to capture Xiangyang. As for destroying Man Chong and others, it is secondary, so they can't do anything about it now, at least Sun Ce doesn't want to pursue them anymore.

Liu Bei knew in his heart that if Sun Ce's cavalry had lost too much, he would definitely not be willing. So...

-----------------------------------------------------

And Sun Ce definitely can't just talk to himself, so he actually hopes that he can speak out and not pursue him.

So at this time Liu Bei said, and he sighed first. "Oh, since the enemy has retreated, there is no need to chase after him!"

Liu Bei thought to himself, although you, Sun Bofu, did not show any sign of not chasing you, but it depends on how delayed you were. It is not difficult to imagine that yours is still not here.

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Sun Ce was satisfied. Is it the original thing? The coalition forces attacked Xiangyang and finally the city was returned to Liu Bei. He was already a little unbalanced because he had lost too many benefits. If the cavalry of the Jiangdong Army suffered heavy casualties, then Sun Ce would not accept it at all, so he would not pursue the Yanzhou Army. Anyway, in his opinion, there would be opportunities to fight against them again in the future, and now the coalition forces have more than 100,000 troops, and they are still afraid that they will not be able to do so.

However, although he had this idea in his heart, he still said, "This, Duke Xuande..."

Sun Ce meant that if he didn't pursue it, wouldn't it be nice?

-----------------------------------------------------

Liu Bei was despised in his heart at this time, thinking that you, Sun Bofu, just wanted to persuade you, but it was no big deal. After all, Xiangyang is still in hand, so you have taken advantage of yourself. So, you, Sun Bofu, will not care about you even if you are like this.

So Liu Bei said, "General Sun, since the enemy has retreated at this time, it is better for our army to enter Xiangyang as soon as possible. In these days, we can enter this city!"

When Sun Ce saw that it was almost the same. It was not that he didn't chase him, but that you, Liu Bei, had no such intention, so he hurriedly said: "Since that's the case, then follow Duke Xuande!"

So while sending soldiers to clean the battlefield, the two of them brought three thousand men into Xiangyang City.

Isn't it just to get into Xiangyang City in the past few days? When Sun Ce and Liu Bei led their troops into the city, they felt that the fatigue these days was still worth it. In Jingzhou, Xiangyang can be said to be a big county second only to Jiangling, and now it has returned to their own hands, Liu Bei was naturally very happy.

As for Sun Ce, although Xiangyang City is not in his hands, it is in the hands of his allies, not in the hands of the hostile Cao Cao Yanzhou Army and Ma Chao Liangzhou Army. Then this is enough. At least for the time being, Sun Ce thinks it is okay and acceptable.

-----------------------------------------------------

In Sun Ce's eyes, Liu Bei is the weakest force among the parties, so even if his strength is enhanced, he will not feel too much threat or too much pressure. This is definitely different from Cao Cao and Ma Chao. At least Sun Ce thought it very clearly. If Cao Cao or Ma Chao got a lot of territory in Jingzhou, then the first person who couldn't sit still was himself.

In comparison, Sun Ce was indeed acceptable to let Liu Bei get some places in Jingzhou. And he thought it was simple. If it was difficult to seize a county or county from Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army or Ma Chao's Liangzhou Army, then it would be easy to seize a county or county from Liu Bei in comparison. So Sun Ce would rather give Xiangyang to Liu Bei, so he would never let Cao Cao and Ma Chao occupy such an important county town.

And now both sides are allies, so Sun Ce also knows that at least before the Jingzhou matter was completely resolved, Liu Bei's strength was only good for himself, not bad for him, so Sun Ce of course understood how he should do it. Now that the two sides join forces together, it is a team, so Liu Bei's strength has increased, which can be regarded as his strength has increased.

-----------------------------------------------------

In this way, the two led their troops into Xiangyang. In this way, the Sun and Liu coalition army occupied Xiangyang, and Liu Bei finally seized Xiangyang again and regained Xiangyang, which was considered to be a little stronger. Although it was not easy for the Sun and Liu coalition army to seize Xiangyang, it was not easy to say anything. The final result was still satisfying Sun Ce and Liu Bei.

But the only thing that is not very satisfying is that Man Chong ran away, and he escaped under the eyes of his army. So this is the only thing that made the two feel that they were dull. As for the others, they were all pretty good. (To be continued...)
