?The inevitable melee combat still happened outside Xiangyang City. Liu Biao, who had been alarmed by the loud sound of the divine cannon, and the civil and military officials in Xiangyang City, stood on the reinforced watchtower on the west gate of Xiangyang City, with a solemn expression and a complicated expression looking at the two armies that had collided in the distance.--.

Liu Biao asked Lu Meng beside him softly and said, "Zi Ming, now that Cao's army is under pressure, the Tianyi army is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of number of people, and it can really withstand it!"

Lu Meng knew that Tianyi's army was fighting bloody outside the city, which had his friend Lu Xun, and Lu Xun came here to rescue him to a large extent, so he was sweating in his heart. He replied to Liu Biao: "At this time of crisis, please put the grand plan first and allow Jiang Xu to lead two thousand iron guards out of the city to fight!"

Liu Biao knew that this was not the time for hesitation and distress, so he nodded and agreed to Lu Meng's request. Although he liked and trusted the two thousand iron guards led by his nephew Liu Pan, he really didn't want to send this powerful and loyal and commendable army to die, but seeing Tian Yijun fighting for himself without any expression outside the city, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain to King Pingxi afterwards.

Lu Meng could understand that the troops outside the city were the direct line of the Han army formed by Zhao Xing in the Western Regions. They were the "Imperial Guard" of King Pingxi. King Pingxi was willing to send his "Imperial Guard" to the front line, but you, Liu Biao, wouldn't be willing to send your iron guards out to support him.

Soon, Jiang Xu and Su Fei led two thousand neatly-clad Jingzhou Iron Guards out of the west gate and rushed straight to Cao Cao's rear army.

While the soldiers in Xiangyang City were busy mobilizing, the Cao army outside the city and the Tianyi army were already fighting together. Several pioneer generals under Cao Cao's tent each led a team of spears and halberd soldiers to specifically pick the gaps in the main van array that had been blown up by the thunder chariot, and swear to tear open and expand these gaps so that the army behind him could join the battle group.

At this time of crisis, Zhao Gang had handed over the command power to Lu Xun. He himself rushed from the central army to the most intense area of ​​the former army's war. Zhao Gang's personal martial arts were not very strong, and he could only be considered ordinary in Zhao Xing's military general system. The reason why he could reach the high position of leading the army was that he learned the true teachings of Zhao Xing leading troops and commanding the army. In this regard, he was very similar to Li Tiezhu of the Dragon Cavalry Army. The two did not rely on single-player martial arts to separate themselves, but only used their brains to use their tricks to command the army to fight.

Of course, although Zhao Gang is not very skilled in martial arts, it does not mean that he is afraid of death and dares not charge and fight on the front line. At such a critical moment, as long as he stands behind the soldiers and shouts a few exciting words, it will play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army and boosting morale.

In fact, Zhao Gang did this at this time. He seemed to have heard Cao Hong's irritable voice not far from the car array, and he kept shouting to his soldiers: "Brothers, show your blood and courage. Your head is only a scar. Even if it is sacrificed, there is still our ranking in the Fallen Tiger Zhonglie Park, so I'm afraid of a ball!"

"Kill me, I'm afraid of a ball when my head falls off. I swear to kill Cao's army without leaving any one!"

"Kill, we are the brave and fearless Tianyi Army, and we cannot embarrass King Pingxi..."

Cao Hong, who had already been red-eyed, shouted outside through a car formation: "Brothers, kill me. Break through these iron turtle shells in front of us, and we can let the despicable and shameless Tian Yijun taste our power!"

While the two armies were fighting fiercely, Cao Cao, who had been observing the situation on the battlefield, suddenly found that the west gate of Xiangyang City behind him was put down. Although Cao's army was pressing on the entire line, he would definitely not forget the Xiangyang City. Therefore, there were still 10,000 soldiers left behind in the rear army. Seeing a team of soldiers suddenly coming out of the city, Cao Cao's eyes twitched a few times, and hurriedly ordered the rear army to meet the entire line, and he would block the troops that were catching the rear route this time.

The two thousand Jingzhou Iron Guards led by Su Fei and Jiang Xu were originally selected by death soldiers from the 200,000 Jingzhou Army. Both their individual combat power and fighting will satisfy Jiang Xu, who was responsible for training. They were wearing high-quality armor specially dispatched by Lu Meng from the Jin State Crouching Tiger Equipment Academy, and used the most sophisticated and durable individual weapons. They can be said to be a force armed to the teeth, with considerable combat power.

Looking at the nearly ten thousand Cao troops surrounding him, Jiang Xu and Su Fei were resolutely not afraid and yelled: "Brothers, follow me." Then they rushed over like a tiger entering a pack of wolves.

Outside Xiangyang City, the ruthless fighting continued. Every moment, someone was injured and fell to the ground. Every piece of land was dyed red with blood. The soldiers of Tianyi Army who had already forgotten what fear and fear were. They mechanically followed the training movements they received in the training team. While protecting the vital parts of their bodies, they shot the crossbow arrows in their hands at the enemy, stabbed the spear in their hands into the enemy, and slashed the long sword in their hands at the enemy...

Jiang Xu and Su Fei who rushed out of the city were also brave and courageous. They forced the surrounding Cao army to retreat continuously with two thousand soldiers, which made Cao Cao feel a huge threat.

A battle started from the morning and lasted until noon, and the battle was still hard to distinguish. The number of soldiers injured and dead on both sides continued to increase. The Tianyi Army had nearly 10,000 casualties. Even the military advisor Lu Xun couldn't help but rush to the front position to cheer for his soldiers.

The Iron Guards of Jingzhou who rushed out of Xiangyang City did live up to expectations. At the cost of nearly a thousand soldiers, they were about to reach the rear position of Cao's army, and the Cao army who died under their command reached 4,000.

Cao Cao, with a blue face, was about to dispatch Xu Chu to lead his escort in front of the tent to join the battle group that resisted the Jingzhou army, and suddenly saw the general Pan Feng, who was originally stationed at the south gate, coming to report with a hurried look on his face: "Report to General, the whereabouts of the army were found twenty miles outside the southern gate of Xiangyang. Huo Jun's troops, who were suspected to be returning from Changsha to aid, are about to arrive!"

Cao Cao, who had been holding back his headaches, suddenly felt that there were tens of golden needles in his mind after hearing Pan Feng's report. At that time, a black man was in a state of urgency. Xi Zhicai and Jiang Ji, who were accompanying Cao Cao, hurriedly helped Cao Cao onto the carriage, and then ordered Xu Chu and Pan Feng and other generals: "Immediately send orders to the three armies and withdraw to Deng County from now on. The battle in Xiangyang is hopeless to win!"

Although he was very unwilling, Xu Chu was also a person who knew how to advance and retreat. He saw that if he wanted to defeat Tianyi's army today, he would probably have to pay a heavier price. If Huo Jun happened to come from the south to join the battle group, he was afraid that the army would face life and death. So Xu Chu immediately held the general's token and hurried to various places in the battlefield to announce military orders, and organized the troops participating in the war to gradually retreat northward.
