Zhang Fei made a long story short and briefly told Xu Shu about his current situation.

Xu Shu immediately understood and mastered all the things on the battlefield now.

After hearing Zhang Fei's words, Xu Shu's face never looked good.

It changed several times in a row.

"We were all discovered in advance by Liu Zheng's people. They were targeting us and set up a killer in advance to prevent our third battalion from uniting to deal with him."

"This move is indeed beyond my expectations. If we can detect it in advance, there will be a chance to counter Liu Zheng, but we cannot predict when Liu Zheng will take action. At this time, all the third battalions were restrained by Liu Zheng's troops. If we want to gain an advantage near Handan City, it will be difficult."

Xu Shu was like taking stock of the incident after doing the work, summarizing this failure.

It was a pity that if Liu Zheng did not take the initiative this time, according to Xu Shu's plan, their third battalion troops had been almost built. If a chance was needed, they could attack three parties at the same time and attack Handan City.

It would be difficult for Liu Zheng in the city to defend three walls at the same time, and Xu Shu and his team had a great chance of capturing Handan City.

Even if Liu Zheng did not die in Handan City in the end, he would definitely lead his troops to break through the north at the last moment. However, Liu Zheng, who lost Handan as a support and suffered serious losses, even if he could escape back to the Xindu City, he would only delay his death for a few more days.

But now, their plans were all gone, and Liu Zheng took the initiative and caught Zhang Fei and Xu Shu off guard.

"It's a pity that if I, General Zhao Yun, were here, we wouldn't have been so passive."

Xu Shu remembered Zhao Yun at this moment. A few days ago, Zhao Yun led the three thousand white horses to leave, and there was no news yet. If Zhao Yun was there now, there would be three thousand white horses to come, so there would be no need to worry about the impact of the thousands of cavalry under Xu Huang.

Although Liu Zheng defeated Zhao Yun's white horse Yicang yesterday afternoon, and Zhao Yun also escaped from the battlefield.

However, Zhao Yun escaped from Handan City. At that time, the men led by Lu Bu were moving towards Handan, and they attacked from the side.

At that time, it was too difficult to break through the direction of Handan City, so the direction of Zhao Yun's escape was contrary to Handan City.

This is why after leaving, he did not return to Handan City as soon as possible, and explained the defeat to Zhang Fei and others.

This is also because of this. Zhang Fei, Xu Shu and others are not aware that most of the white horses under Zhao Yun's command have been lost and are almost wiped out.

"Military advisor, what should we do now? Should we continue to fight with the soldiers and horses of Liu Zheng here, or temporarily retreat?"

Zhang Fei was not particularly concerned about Zhao Yun's affairs at this time. What Zhang Fei was most concerned about at this time was the battle here now.

The soldiers and horses under Zhang Fei's command had already been killed or injured by Xu Huang's cavalry.

Moreover, the number of people continues to increase. Xu Huang's cavalry does not retreat for a while, and their casualties will be even greater.

Zhang Fei is not sure how many soldiers and horses Liu Zheng has in Handan City. If the number of soldiers is enough, the people and horses Zhang Fei here may not be able to block Liu Zheng's attack.

So, some people are undecided and don’t know whether to continue attacking or retreat for the time being and avoid the edge.

I can only ask Xu Shu.

Xu Shu had a gloomy face and hesitated for a long time. After looking at the situation on the battlefield, he could only allow Zhang Fei to retreat temporarily.

"General, we have no chance of winning at this time. If we continue to stay, we still don't know what Liu Zheng has to do. We don't know much about his troops. It's better to temporarily retreat thirty miles, with mountains blocking it, and it's not easy for Liu Zheng's cavalry to pursue him."

"At that time, we will send people to contact General Ma Dai and General Xu Chu, and then gather in one place and make other plans."

At this time, Xu Shu had no better way, so he could only let Zhang Fei retreat temporarily.

When Zhang Fei heard Xu Shu say this, he nodded.

"Okay, then that's the matter. Mingjin withdraws his troops and retreat. Send all the supplies away first. Don't be given to Liu Zheng's people. If you don't get them away, you'll burn it on the spot."

Zhang Fei was cruel and had no choice but to choose to retreat first.

At this time, the battle began to gradually turn to an end.

Liu Zheng looked at Zhang Fei's troops and retreated, and then he did not let his troops chase him.

It’s not that Liu Zheng’s people did not pursue him, but that Liu Zheng had not many troops. On the one hand, he had to station in Handan City, so it was impossible to completely send him to pursue Zhang Fei.

Anyway, Liu Zheng’s goal this time is not to completely wipe out Zhang Fei, but to just divide their strength.

After Zhang Fei's 60,000 troops were wiped out by Liu Zheng. After he did not have the absolute strength to fight against Liu Zheng, Zhang Fei retreated and would not stay and fight against Liu Zheng at all.

When it was lightly dawn, Liu Zheng had already ordered his troops to start the attack, but when the battle on the battlefield calmed down, it was already noon.

The hot sun shines on the earth, drying the blood all over the ground, emitting a stinking smell.

It attracted a lot of flies and rat ants.

Liu Zheng asked someone to clean the battlefield, and the wounded people who were still alive here were brought back to the city for medical treatment. As for the wounded people from the enemy, Liu Zheng did not kill them directly, but brought them back together for treatment.

Liu Zheng, who was not seriously injured, took them as prisoners and temporarily imprisoned them.

Liu Zheng can't be considered a kind person, but these soldiers on the battlefield are actually innocent.

They were not willing to go to the battlefield, they were all soldiers who were forcibly recruited. Young and middle-aged people were arrested to serve in the military, so sometimes they were not able to control their lives.

In this era, there are very few people who can choose whether to join the army like Liu Zheng.

Many princes were forcibly recruited, otherwise, the short history of the Three Kingdoms would not have allowed tens of millions of people to be defeated in the late Han Dynasty to be the last few million.

War makes people say one out of ten.

It is conceivable how much casualties the war brought about.

If you can save one, save another.

In the afternoon, things outside Handan City were almost over.

The generals sent by Liu Zheng finally returned to Handan City to report to Liu Zheng that the results of this battle were coming.
