On the Jiuzhen County side, Fan Ji was eager to see him. Although the Wei army's siege was slightly weakened, the Wei army's strong attack power was not comparable to those of the county soldiers who had never seen the world. The entire Jiuzhen County was under great pressure. Fan Ji was eager to see the reinforcements from Jiaozhi to come to solve the urgent needs of Jiuzhen County.

But Fan Ji waited left and right, but he could not see the arrival of reinforcements. Fan Ji couldn't help but panic, because he knew that the small amount of troops from Jiuzhen County alone could not stop the Wei army's attack, so Fan Ji had to rely on the power of Jiaozhi reinforcements to defend Jiuzhen County.

But now the situation in Jiuzhen County is already in danger and there is always a possibility of losing. Fan Ji is naturally extremely anxious.

Logically speaking, Fan Ji escorted Xu Chen to Longbian, and he had already made a detailed statement about the situation facing Jiuzhen County. Both Tao Ji and Shi Ji knew about the situation of Jiuzhen County. They also knew the situation of Jiuzhen, and they were even more aware of what Jiuzhen needed now.

Fan Ji also noticed the strangeness of the Wei army. After all, although the Wei army's offensive was not weak, he clearly felt that the Wei army's troops attacking Jiuzhen County had decreased, and this was obviously not a good thing. Fan Ji was worried that the Wei army would use the troops drawn to deal with the reinforcements in Jiaozhi.

So Fan Ji did not blindly defend Jiuzhen, and sent some scouts from time to time to go out to find out the news.

I was really afraid of anything I was going to do. Shortly after the end of the Battle of Mashuihe, Fan Ji got the news. After all, Mashuihe is not far from Jiuzhen County. The scouts on Jiuzhen County only need to increase the scope of reconnaissance, and it is easy to know the situation of the battle here.

In the Battle of Mashuihe, more than 20,000 troops from both sides of Wei and Wu participated in the battle. Such a large-scale battle was naturally quite disturbing, and it was impossible to cover it up.

What's more, these scouts were quite professional. They even reconnaissed the details of the Battle of Mashuihe before reporting Fan Ji.

For Fan Ji, this news was no less than a bolt from the blue. Tao Ji sent reinforcements, but in the Battle of Mashuihe, the entire army was destroyed and almost no one could escape. This blow was extremely heavy for Fan Ji.

Even the 10,000 reinforcements from the Wu army were destroyed, and the small amount of troops in Jiuzhen County was really not enough for the Wei army to get stuck in the gaps.

It was not until now that Fan Ji realized that the Wei army had the strength to take over Jiuzhen County this time, but it had not done its best. It turned out that it was to siege the city and attack the aid. The purpose of siege Jiuzhen County was to attract Jiaozhi reinforcements and then ambush them.

This time, the Wei army wiped out the reinforcements led by Shi Ji in Mashuihe, and it was a great victory. The next step is to attack Jiuzhen County.

Fan Ji felt panic at this time. After all, he personally captured Xu Chen, who was a lobbyist for the Wei army and escorted him to Longbian. Later, he was executed by Tao Ji by Lingchi. Although Tao Ji killed Xu Chen, the account was settled on Fan Ji's head. If the Wei army conquered Jiuzhen County, Fan Ji's fate might not be better than Xu Chen.

So after hearing the news that the Wu army was destroyed in Mashuihe, Fan Ji quickly ordered all the Wu army in Jiuzhen City to gather urgently and prepare to abandon the city and break through.

Once the Wei army, who participated in the Mashuihe battle, turned around, even if Fan Ji wanted to leave, he might not be able to leave.

The Wu army quickly completed the assembly, obviously because of the war in Mashuihe. Today, the Wei army's offensive was very weak and lasted very short. Just after noon, they had already withdrawn their troops.

This gave Fan Ji the opportunity to calmly assemble the team. If the Wei army's offensive continued, Fan Ji would have no chance to escape.

Fan Ji didn't care about anything else and stayed in Jiuzhen City. There was only one dead end. Only by escaping can he have a chance to survive. Fan Ji ordered all soldiers to be light and simple, each of them would only bring dry food for three days, and other cumbersome things were not allowed to be brought.

Fan Ji knew the speed of the Wei army. Not to mention the cavalry, even the infantry of the Wei army would be difficult to match. Therefore, if the Wu army wanted to escape, they had to throw away those cumbersome things, and they could not even wear armor. After all, the armor was too heavy to carry, and Wu army could not run away when wearing it.

It was dusk that Fan Ji opened the city gate. This time period was specially chosen by Fan Ji. When leaving the city at dusk, it was the time when the Wei army had dinner. If he chose to break through at this time, the success rate should be the highest.

Moreover, it was night after dusk. The Wu army was very familiar with the geographical conditions in Jiuzhen County, while the Wei army was relatively unfamiliar, so the Wu army would have a greater chance of escaping at night.

After opening the city gate, Fan Ji rushed out first and rushed towards the Wei army's position outside the city. Fan Ji rushed very quickly. Under his leadership, the Wu army soldiers were also full of momentum and murderous intent.

Before leaving, Wu Jun had just had a full meal. In order to inspire morale, Fan Ji ordered his husband to slaughter cattle and cook sheep, and made a sumptuous battle meal, and each person gave him half a kilo of wine.

As the saying goes, drinking to boost cowards. After each of the Wu soldiers took a few mouthfuls of yellow soup, their originally sluggish morale was instantly improved, and they all screamed, looking as if they were not afraid of the world.

Fan Ji led his troops out of the city at the right time. Taking advantage of his drunkenness, the Wu army rushed to the Wei army's encirclement in one breath.

In the direction of escape, Fan Ji chose the west side, of course this was also the only choice. The south side was Rinan County, which had long fallen into the hands of the Wei army. The east side was the sea, and the north side was Mashui River, which was the current main force of the Wei army.

Therefore, Fan Ji did not consider these three directions at all. They were all dead ends. As long as they were to the west, they were the only place to escape.

Like Rinan County, Jiuzhen County is a relatively narrow area. The areas controlled by the State of Wu are only a few dozen miles away from the coast. Going westward, it is a dense primitive jungle, which belongs to the territory of some primitive tribes. The Wu people rarely get involved there.

The primitive tribes have always been mysterious, and the people of the Wu seldom deal with them. The people of the primitive tribes also had a strong sense of territory. In the past, when Fan Ji was in Jiuzhen County, he never had these areas to avoid conflicts.

But now the situation is critical, Fan Ji has to borrow from the primitive tribe, go around in a circle, and then go back to Jiaozhi County. Fan Ji is not sure how dangerous it is to take this path, but he has no choice.
