720、After Xu Rong was cut off, he decided to fight to the death
It was precisely because he underestimated Liu Zhe and looked down on Liu Zhe that Xu Rong became much more careless.
Even if Liu Zhe gave him a few warnings, he didn't take it seriously. He always thought that he had underestimated Liu Zhe, and if he became serious, Liu Zhe would not have taken advantage of him.
When Xu Rong thought of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He never became serious. He always underestimated Liu Zhe. But now, he finally tasted the pain of underestimating Liu Zhe.
"Prince, what should I do now?"
Xu Rong could guess that Tongguan was in danger, and the others could naturally guess that at this time, their faces were full of fear. The wolf smoke that soared into the sky could see as long as it was not a blind man, and even a fool could guess that Tongguan was in danger.
Tongguan is in danger. As the main general, Xu Rong can still maintain a little calmness, but the people below cannot be calm.
Xu Rong glanced at it and couldn't help but sigh. Liu Zhe's words just affected only some people, but now they almost affected everyone. The generals and the soldiers were also infected. Their faces turned pale and their eyes were dull, and they didn't know what to do.
After sighing, Xu Rong glanced at the camp in the distance. If he captured the camp at this time, he might be able to save some of the situation. He destroyed Liu Zhe's foothold and prevented Liu Zhe from increasing troops from the other side. In this way, he would have the chance to regain Tongguan.
Xu Rong's eyes gradually became firmer, and he had made up his mind to continue attacking.
"In..." As soon as Xu Rong raised his hand, someone rushed in from afar.
"Report!"
The scout came over and said anxiously: "Prefect, the Youzhou army has landed."
Xu Rong's body shook for a moment, and he wanted to spray a mouthful of blood. No wonder Liu Zhe led his team north just now, and it turned out to be going to pick up reinforcements.
When Xu Rong led his troops here to attack the camp, he did not ignore Liu Zhejun on the other side of the Yellow River. He sent troops to defend to prevent Liu Zhejun from crossing the river from the other side. Now, Liu Zhe took his cavalry to respond, and Xu Rong sent the soldiers by the river to the river in great danger.
Liu Zhe's reinforcements came ashore, and Xu Rong was full of bitterness. He had not called out the word "attack" for the attack. Now the attack on the camp is useless. Maybe he would be attacked by both sides and eventually the entire army was defeated.
Xu Rong sighed, Liu Zhe was indeed very powerful, always one step ahead of him, and it would not be embarrassing to lose to such a person.
"Get away."
Xu Rong finally had to face the reality. If he doesn't retreat now, he will just wait for the entire army to be destroyed.
"You guys retreat with their men. If Tongguan is not lost, quickly support Tongguan. If Tongguan is lost, be sure to pass the news to the lord and General Cao Ren to let them know the situation here." Xu Rong pointed at the generals around him.
"Prince, where are you?" Some generals and officials were concerned about Xu Rong.
"Me?" Xu Rong smiled bitterly, then his eyes became firmer again. He said, "The greatest responsibility for this matter lies in me. I will personally cut off the back, intercept Liu Zhe, and delay time for you."
Many of them were Xu Rong's old subordinates. When they heard Xu Rong's words, they looked anxious. They knew that Xu Rong had a determination to die. There was no difference between dying from behind and dying in person. They said anxiously: "Prince, let the Imperial Palace cut off the brink of your future."
"No need to say more, the military situation is urgent, you will gather people to retreat immediately."
Xu Rong did not say much to his subordinates and ordered them to prepare and retreat quickly.
Xu Rong shouted at Li Meng and said, "Li Meng, you and I will cut off the rear."
When Li Meng heard this, he almost cried again. After being killed by Liu Zhe just now, he would have been heartbroken. If there weren't many people around him, he would have run away long ago.
After seeing the wolf smoke just now, he ran to Xu Rong like everyone else to see what Xu Rong wanted to do. When he heard Xu Rong's order to retreat, he almost couldn't help but feel joy in his heart and cheered out.
So when Xu Rong asked someone to summon soldiers to retreat, he was the first to execute. However, as soon as he ran two steps, Xu Rong saw him and called him back and asked him to cut off the rear together.
Li Meng is really about to cry. Why is his life so hard? Do you really have to explain it here today?
Li Meng really didn't want to stay and break the queen with Xu Rong. Xu Rong was not his father and was not worthy of his burial. However, Xu Rong was not his father, but his boss, so he had to listen.
Li Meng looked at Xu Rong's face and did not dare to say anything with the word "no". He believed that as long as he dared to say a word, Xu Rong would cut him into power without hesitation, so Li Meng could only summon soldiers with a sad face.
However, Li Meng had already made up his mind that if things were wrong, he would run away immediately and would not stay and die.
The soldiers were quickly summoned. In addition to the casualties, Xu Rong now had about 15,000 normal soldiers. Xu Rong asked them to leave behind 3,000 soldiers, and let them retreat and return to Tongguan.
