Chapter 1172 Yuan Xi's decision
"Chief, no, our people's morale has plummeted and they can't continue to attack!"
After seeing the situation on the battlefield, the guards around Kebineng immediately felt something was wrong.
The loss of our own troops is too serious. Such an unequal battle and continuing to fight will only increase their casualties.
Ke Bineng has now lost tens of thousands of troops to this man. What he cares most about is his soldiers. If he continues to increase casualties, he will barely win the final battle.
The loss of too many soldiers and horses under his command is not something that Ke Bi is willing to see.
What's more, now with the emergence of Lu Bu and Xu Huang, the possibility of victory or defeat has become less clear.
Kebi Neng has already started to hesitate.
"What should we do? Leader, do we still have to continue fighting here? Yuan Xi lied to us. This is Xindu City and Liu Zheng are not so easy to deal with. Let's retreat. If we continue to stay, there will be only a dead end."
The warriors around Kebineng began to advise Kebineng to leave here and not be obsessed with the battle in Xindu City.
Seeing that there is no hope of victory, staying will only increase casualties, and maybe even defeated, the enemy seized the loophole and lost all the remaining troops here in one fell swoop.
If you retreat now, Kebi Neng can take at least 20,000 people away for 40,000 troops.
But if you continue fighting here, it is not certain how much you can take away.
Kebi could look at the eyes around him who were eager to survive, and he himself was unwilling to bury his bones here, so he naturally would not want to fight against Liu Zheng's men in this place.
"Yuan Xi, this dog guy, deceived us again, took our people with us, and retreated to Youzhou. The lost things were snatched back from Yuan Xi!"
Ke Bi Neng had already broken up his talk with Yuan Xi. This was their last cooperation, but such cooperation also broke up because of the arrival of Lu Bu and Xu Huang.
Ke Bineng, who didn't want to die here and didn't want to go back empty-handed, naturally could only spread all these anger on Yuan Xi.
"Retreat, retreat now. We never want to come to this battlefield in Jizhou again!"
After making up his mind to retreat, Ke Bineng naturally did not hesitate and immediately ordered the remaining soldiers to evacuate from the battlefield.
He also wanted to preserve his last bit of strength so that when they returned to their tribe, there was still a little warrior to fight.
Besides, even if they want to retreat, they will still rage in Youzhou, and robbery will require manpower.
Therefore, it is very important for Kebien to preserve some strength.
With Ke Bi able to order the retreat of those troops fighting Guan Hai's army in the inner city, he naturally had no idea of attack and immediately began to retreat.
As soon as the army retreated, the soldiers and horses of Liu Zhengjun who were fighting bloodyly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
At least, without the enemy, they will not be hurt anymore, and the possibility of their own survival will be much higher.
The Xianbei people retreated very quickly because most of them were cavalry, and the infantry fought with Guan Hai's men and horses at the city gate. After deciding to retreat, they had no time to get on the horse.
Even if they had time to retreat, there were not so many horses for them to use. Moreover, Kebi Nengbi might have taken these people and evacuated completely.
Some people must come to cut off the rear, otherwise so many people would not be able to escape.
Those who did not ride horses, or who were originally affiliated with Yuan Xi and Wuhuan, became the candidates that Kebi could use to cut off the rear.
The cavalry quickly evacuated from the battlefield. Although Lu Bu and Xu Huang had already seen it, if the men and horses were about to run, they had only three thousand men under them, and even if they were pursuing, they would not be able to fully pursue them.
If you catch up, you will not be able to completely annihilate many enemies, but it will be easy to fall into a trap.
It is better to stay, clean up the remaining troops, and sweep away the enemy troops that have not yet been able to evacuate.
Doing so is their most decisive decision.
After Kebineng's troops retreated, the battlefield was suddenly empty.
The originally crowded battlefield seemed a bit empty, but there were still some soldiers here, and these people were Yuan Xi's men.
Yuan Xi himself had few troops, and this little manpower would not stop Lu Bu at all.
Not long after, he was surrounded by Lu Bu and killed so much that only dozens of people were left to guard him.
Yuan Xi himself had already started fighting, holding a long sword, riding a war horse, and radiating his hair.
Although the Yuan family’s children are not very skilled in martial arts, Yuan Xi has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, but he didn’t need to go to fight to kill the enemy himself, and he has never been tempered.
His own bravery is naturally incomparable to first-class generals like Liu, Guan and Zhang, but compared with some second-rate generals, Yuan Xi is not weak at all.
After Lu Bu killed some more soldiers, Yuan Xi was at a dead end.
Lu Bu had long discovered Yuan Xi on the battlefield. Although he had never met Yuan Xi in person, Yuan Xi's guard of honor and personal soldiers were here, so Lu Bu could know who Yuan Xi was.
In addition, these people will tell Lu Bu who the person surrounded in the middle is. It does not need Lu Bu to inquire, just to know that the person surrounded by them is the most important enemy of this Northern Expedition.
"Yuan Xi! You are already at your end."
Lu Bu was not in a hurry to attack. As for the current situation, the situation of the battle has been clear.
The situation has been settled, and it will be no longer beneficial to Yuan Xi.
Lu Bu didn't want to rush forward directly, stabbed Yuan Xi to death with one shot. There was no benefit in doing so.
Yuan Xi was more useful than a dead one to capture Liu Zheng alive.
At this moment, Yuan Xi was already in a downturn and looked embarrassed.
Today's Yuan Xi seems a little helpless just like Yuan Shao of that day.
The heroism and ambitions of the past have disappeared at this moment. In his heart, there is only the desire to survive.
But when he thought about how much shame he would bear if he surrendered, he would be laughed at by Liu Zheng endlessly. The kind of life after surrender would be worse than death.
Yuan Xi, who had a hint of desire to survive, turned dark in an instant.
He suddenly understood why Xiang Yu from Wujiang that day had the choice to return to Jiangdong, but suddenly committed suicide.
Just like now, even if he returns to Youzhou, the situation is hopeless, and it is impossible to turn things around again.
Can you lose even the advantage, but you still want to turn the tables against the wind?
