In the end, he had no choice but to accept the fact that Sun Ce's soldiers and horses had escaped.

However, Liu Ke will never let it go.

Because he discovered a situation, that is, the surrounding counties are still in the hands of Sun Ce.

Therefore, in the process of Sun Ce's escape, he provided him with food, soldiers and horses, and even directly confronted his chasing troops.

Although Sun Ce escaped by chance, the actions of these cities have deeply angered Liu Ke.

Therefore, Liu Ke immediately ordered in front of everyone: "The actions of these small towns are really infuriating, and I vow to wipe them all out!

Taking Feishui as the boundary, Zhao Yun and Dianwei led [-] soldiers and horses to sweep away the cities on the west bank of Feishui.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao led [-] troops to sweep away the cities on the east bank of the Fei River!

I would like to see where he, Sun Ce, can escape to! "

The generals took the lead and dispatched immediately.

Among them, after discussing with Lu Bu, Zhang Liao led 5000 troops to rush in different directions.

Zhang Liao's goal was Jiyang, thirty miles north of Fuyang.

After taking Fuyang, Thornyang City immediately stepped up its defenses, ready to meet the opponent's attack at any time.

So when Zhang Liao rushed to the city, the garrison of Jiyang was already in full battle.

According to Liu Ke's arrangement, he would give the ceremony first and then the soldiers, and it would be best if he could directly ask the guard to surrender in Kaesong.

However, Zhang Yi, the guard of Jiyang, is talented and loyal, and his elder brother Zhang Wen is assisting Sun Quan in Xiangyang to supervise the country.

Therefore, facing Zhang Liao's coercion and temptation, Zhang Yi sternly refused without any hesitation at all.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao understood the other party's attitude and no longer had any illusions, so he directly began to attack the city.

Jiyang is different from Fuyang in that it has not been affected by the flames of war before, so the defense in the city is intact and the supplies are sufficient.

Coupled with Zhang Zhi's impromptu command, under Zhang Liao's attack, he has been steadfastly defending, and was not immediately broken by the opponent.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao became more and more anxious.

You must know that Jiyang is the first city that Zhang Liao encountered when he led his team out. If he could not take it, his reputation would be severely damaged.

At that time, if you want to attack other cities, you will be greatly affected.

Therefore, Zhang Liao made up his mind that he must take Jiyang, and then kill others to scare other cities that were watching.

So under his command, the attack became more and more intense, and the guards on Thorn Sun City finally couldn't hold on anymore.

In fact, it is also understandable that there are only 3000 guards in Jiyang.

How could such a small number of people be able to stop Zhang Liao's army five times larger than his own?

Seeing that Jiyang is in danger, it will be breached sooner or later.

Zhang Zhi was very arrogant and didn't want to be captured by the enemy after the city was broken. Seeing that the situation was getting worse and he was unable to recover, he finally took out his sword and was about to commit suicide.

But before he could mow it down, the county magistrate beside him suddenly shouted: "My lord, don't be impulsive! Look to the north, it seems that reinforcements are coming!"

Zhang Zhi took a look and saw that there was a horse coming over there, bringing up smoke and dust all over the sky.

This man and horse is naturally Dong Xi who is going to Jiyang to transfer troops.

He saw the shouts of killing from the top of Jiyang City, so he hurried to speed up, and finally arrived before the city was broken.

Seeing that some enemy troops had rushed to the top of the city, Dong Xi understood the urgency of the matter, so he led his troops to kill them without hesitation.

Zhang Liao was supervising the battle below the city, when he heard noises coming from the north, he hurried to look, but saw another enemy army coming.

He had no choice but to lead the remaining soldiers and horses against the enemy to prevent them from joining the defenders in the city.

Dong Xi took the lead and rushed directly into the formation to fight Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses.

In the beginning, the arrival of Dong Xi's surprise troops really caught Zhang Liao's troops by surprise.

And some thought that the opponent's large army was coming, so the ground shook for no reason.

It's just that as they fought with Dong Xi's soldiers and horses, they finally stabilized gradually.

Because Dong Xi's mission this time was to mobilize troops, he didn't bring many troops at all, only 5000 in total.

However, apart from the people who were still attacking Jiyang, Zhang Liao had more than five thousand left in his hands.

So when Zhang Liao gained a firm foothold again, he finally launched a counterattack.

On the contrary, it was Dong Xi's side. Not long after the fight, he was horrified to find that people like himself would not have much influence on the other party.

He was even killed by Zhang Liao and ran around.

Therefore, he immediately thought of retreating.

After struggling with Zhang Liao's soldiers for a while, Dong Xi finally couldn't hold on anymore.

He had no choice but to shout loudly, calling on his soldiers and horses to retreat quickly, lest the entire army be wiped out in the end.

Originally, when Dong Xi arrived, the defenders on the city saw the reinforcements, their morale was high, and they even repelled the opponent's attack.

But at this moment, Dong Xi was defeated by the opponent, leaving the people in the city behind, and retreated directly.
