At dawn the next day, Li Xin thought that the Wu army would come to attack the city again, but he did not expect that Sun Wu would withdraw his troops on his own initiative.

Both Zhou Tai and Ling Tong were extremely puzzled by Sun Wu's decision. After all, their retreat had been cut off, and the top priority should be to attack Xiling in one go.

Faced with the confusion of the generals, Sun Wu explained it this way.

"Since we can't capture Xiling in one day, it will be the same in two days. It's better to make other preparations before Liu Xiu arrives."

A commander with a higher attribute than Sun Wu could not conquer Xiling in only two days at such an emergency, so he decided to withdraw his troops and start from other aspects.

On the other side, Liu Xiu was relieved when he learned that Sun Wu failed to attack Xiling and instead withdrew his troops from Xiling.

He had cut off Sun Wu's retreat and laid an extremely tight siege. If Sun Wu could not attack Xiling, where could he escape even if he wanted to?

"Haha, it's just a desperate struggle."

Liu Xiu sneered. He had suffered a lot at the hands of Sun Wu. Now that he had the opportunity to avenge his past humiliation, he would naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Liu Xiu was full of confidence in the siege net he had laid.

After all, 40,000 troops besieged 10,000 Chu troops, and the leaders, Guo Ziyi and Chai Rong, were both famous generals with outstanding abilities, and they also had strong generals to assist them.

This was also the time when Liu Xiu had the greatest advantage over Sun Wu. He didn't believe that Sun Wu could still escape despite this.

Two days later, Liu Xiu confidently prepared to launch a decisive battle and completely defeat Sun Wu, but unexpectedly received the news of Guo Ziyi's defeat.

"Report... Lord, General Guo Ziyi was ambushed by Sun Wu's army in Jueyun Territory. A total of more than 3,000 people were killed. General Wu Zhiqi was also seriously injured. At present, the North Route Army has retreated twenty miles.

Rest.”
