Chapter 1034

As Xu Rong's orders spread out, the soldiers and horses in the city soon took action. However, as Cao Cao's army controlled the city more and more, Cao Xiu, the commander of the siege of the western city, immediately ordered that all the remaining tigers and leopards and thousands of Chinese soldiers and horses in his hands be put into the siege.

After all the five thousand tiger and leopard Knights boarded the city, Xu Rong knew that he was unable to return to heaven. Fortunately, the city had been preparing to evacuate, and the evacuation of the people in the counties had been going on for nearly ten days. At present, the two port cities have moved nearly 600000 people, which can be said to be overcrowded.

Originally, Xu Rong's goal was to stick to it for about a month, but after all, he was only a man, not a God. Due to Sun Kang's negligence, the city was broken half a month ahead of time by Cao CaoJun, which made many of Xu Rong's arrangements fail. Moreover, if he left in a hurry now, the loss would be much greater.

But now he had to retreat. Seeing that the Western Tower had been lost and the defense of the gate hole was getting weaker and weaker, Xu Rong immediately called a few Pro guards and said, "go to the prime minister's office immediately and report to the prime minister and the military adviser, so that they can evacuate according to the original plan. At the same time, he ordered the guards of the East and North walls to retreat gradually to the south gate according to the original plan Military law. He ordered general Zang Ba, the general of Nanmen garrison, to keep the army well and return. He immediately contacted the cavalry outside the city and was ready to take the troops out of the city. "

A series of orders came out of Xu Rong's mouth, and then the soldiers sent them everywhere quickly.

Soon the whole city took action, and the families and craftsmen who had been informed left their homes one after another to gather in the direction of the south gate. However, the city's taxi soldiers moved in the opposite direction. They had to use the city's streets and houses to stop Cao Cao's army from invading the city and buy time for the assembly of their families.

At this time, there were more than 20000 troops in the city, but after losing the protection of the city wall, in front of tens of thousands of Cao Cao's troops, these soldiers were already vulnerable.

An hour later, Xu Rong finally arrived at Nancheng under the protection of his own guards. As he expected, less than 10000 soldiers successfully retreated to the South Gate in an hour. At this time, the craftsmen and their families had gathered here. At this time, the cry of killing in the city was getting closer and closer. Although the guards of the East and West Gates had destroyed the gate when they evacuated, But after losing the threat of the city, there are still a large number of Cao Cao's soldiers who can climb the city wall through the attack ladder, cloud ladder and other equipment, and then fight into the city.

After getting the news that the Qianjin gate of the north gate had been destroyed, the five thousand tigers and leopards outside the north gate were immediately sent to the west city by Xia Houyuan. They were ready to enter the city from the west gate and use the powerful destructive power of heavy cavalry to wipe out the garrison in the city. As for the fleeing troops, Xia Houyuan thought that it was the most important thing at present to wipe out the remnant enemies in the city and control the city.

Seeing that Xu Rong had safely withdrawn to the south gate, Cheng Huan was greatly relieved. He quickly stepped forward and said, "General Xu, doesn't it mean that the city can be kept for 10 to 15 days? Why was the city broken so quickly? There are a lot of things that are not ready. "

Xu Rong took a look at Zang ba. Zang Ba seemed to have known the reason and bowed his head one by one. Xu Rong said, "let's talk about this later. Mr. prime minister, Cao CaoJun is not far from the south gate. We can't delay any longer. Open the gate and leave now."

Cheng Huan also knew that this was not the time to say this, so he stopped asking, "OK, open the gate first, let the craftsmen and the people go out of the city first, and the cavalry outside the city should have come to meet them."

Xu Rong nodded, turned his head and looked at several generals around him. Just as he was about to speak, Zang Ba stood out and said, "general, let the last general wait for the end. Let the Taishan people make up for the mistakes they have committed."

Xu Rong was stunned. Before he spoke, Zang Quan, Zang AI, Yin Li and sun Guan, who were next to him, came out one after another and asked, "general, I will ask for the termination of the army."

Just as he was talking, Sun Kang also retreated to the South Gate under the protection of several personal guards. Seeing all the generals in front of him, he quickly walked up to Xu Rong and said, "general, if you have not been entrusted by the general, please punish him!"

Without looking at him, Xu Rong said to Zang, "how many troops does general Zang need?"

Zang Ba thought for a moment and said, "there are 3000 Taishan soldiers in the end general and the generals. If the general can support another 2000 soldiers, the end general will fight for two hours for the army to retreat!"

At this time, Sun Kang didn't know what the generals of Mount Tai were going to do. He thought that because of his negligence, he wanted the generals of Mount Tai to make up for the collapse of thousands of troops. He couldn't help but be extremely ashamed and indignant. He quickly set out and said, "general, I'm going to ask for the withdrawal of the army from the rear!"

Xu Rong nodded noncommittally and looked at the sky. At this time, it was almost dark. He turned to the other generals and ordered, "organize the families of craftsmen to evacuate immediately!"

"No!" All the generals were ordered to leave together and arranged for their own soldiers. The assembled people began to leave the city.

The generals of Mount Tai led the soldiers to quickly arrange the defense, ready to buy time for the withdrawal of the army.

An hour later, 20000 people and thousands of soldiers finally came to the city. With the help of 10000 cavalry, they set fire to the direction of irrigation tens of miles away. They just need to go there. The water army of Shuanghe city has arranged ships to wait by the river. At that time, after getting on the boat, they can go all the way down the river and reach the wharf of Shuanghe city.At this time, it was completely dark, but the city was full of fire. The remnant soldiers of the eastern army were still fighting with Cao Cao's soldiers, and Zang Ba and other generals at the South Gate had already fought with Cao Cao's army. Because they had made as much preparation as possible, and Xu Rong left a thousand crossbow soldiers for Zang Ba when he left, so Cao Cao's army was born at the south gate It took two hours for the baby to leave.

Then Zang Ba ambushed Cao Cao's army ten miles away from the south gate. The final result was that there were only 2000 soldiers left, including 1000 crossbow soldiers. It can be said that only 20% of the 3000 soldiers Zang Ba brought from Mount Tai were left by this time.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no more Cao Cao's pursuit behind him, Zang Ba Cai led the disabled soldiers to evacuate all night and chased along the route of evacuation. Finally, in the morning, he caught up with the group of people boarding the boat by the river. It was not until noon the next day that a large group of people evacuated from the county town arrived at shuanghecheng wharf safely. By this time, there were only 6000 soldiers and 20000 craftsmen.
