Chapter 700

However.

Just when they were retreating backward.

Above the city tower, there was a burst of cheers!

That cheering sound, heard in the ears of Yan Liang and the siege soldiers, sounded very much like mockery.

"Damn it..."

Angry and anxious.

Yan Liang could not help but spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Actually, his temper is usually considered not bad.

His temperament is also considered gentle.

But TM, when has he ever suffered such humiliation?

Another thing is.

There is a quite serious problem that has been bothering Yan Liang's heart.

Why is it that this group of people following Gu Yi are all TMD old sixes?

One by one, they are so bamboo-shoot-like, simply more bamboo-shoot-like than "stealing bamboo shoots"!

……

Yan Liang, who returned to the camp, could no longer hold on.

The pain all over his body, and the burning sensation brought by the golden juice, made him lose his combat power.

Seeing Yan Liang take the initiative to lead the army to charge, but ended up in such a miserable ending.

Yuan Xi also felt not good in his heart.

But besides not feeling good.

A greater feeling was that fortunately, the person who led the army to siege the city tonight was not himself.

Otherwise.

Yan Liang's ending would likely be his ending.

Still the same sentence.

Death to the friend, not to the poor Dao.

While feeling sorry for Yan Liang, Yuan Xi felt more of a sense of relief.

The next few days.

Because Yan Liang was injured.

The command power of the army all fell into Yuan Xi's hands.

Of course.

He did not dare to risk his life to lead the team to siege the city in person.

That would not only be joking with his own small life.

More importantly, it would be adding to the joke.

Yuan Xi's commanding talent is ultimately only at a mediocre level.

For ten consecutive days, relying on the fifteen thousand army, he still could not do anything to this small Hehe City.

And at the same time.

The cavalry unit of Gu Yi's army left behind in Bingzhou, under the leadership of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, had already arrived near Ye City.

It is expected that at most one more day, they will arrive under Hehe City.

Learning this news.

Even if Yuan Xi was helpless and unhappy in his heart, he had to accept the fact that he could only withdraw his troops now.

If he does not leave now.

Then once Lu Bu and Zhang Liao lead the troops to arrive here.

Even if he wants to leave, I am afraid it will be impossible to leave at all.

Just like this.

This siege battle, where Yuan Xi paid about ten thousand corpses, ended without a whimper.

But as the saying goes.

If you come without going, it is not polite.

Since Yuan Xi and Yan Liang dared to take the initiative to attack.

How could Gu Yi let them be arrogant here?

The cavalry unit led by Zhang Liao and Lu Bu, their mission is not just to rescue Hejian Commandery.

A more important mission on them is to turn into a sharp sword blade and stab directly into the hinterland of Youzhou!

Yes.

Gu Yi does not plan to deal with Yuan Shao in person.

His strategic goal is to launch the eastern expedition to clean up Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao, on the other hand, is left to Lu Bu and Zhang Liao to deal with.

Of course.

Xun You is also in this queue, considered the military strategist for Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.

And Lu Bu and Zhang Liao here do not plan to directly attack Yuan Shao's lair, Bohai Commandery.

Instead, they plan to go north first to take down Youzhou, and then turn back to attack Bohai.

Otherwise, if they attack Bohai first, Yuan Shao might flee to Youzhou after being defeated.

At that time, it would be adding to the war again.

It is better to cut off Yuan Shao's retreat first.

Making him have nowhere to escape!
