This is not impossible!

Until now, Liu Bei's army's specific casualties cannot be seen, but just standing on the top of the city and looking at it, you can find that it is nearly half less than before!

In other words, Liu Bei's army lost six or seven thousand in this siege.

With only the remaining seven or eight thousand people, even though the Lingling Guards had only three thousand, the difficulty of Liu Bei's army in siege did not decrease at all, and even increased a lot.

For example, although Zhao Yun and other generals jumped into the city to escape, their physical strength was bottoming out and they could not get into the city again after a few days of rest.

Also, those wooden siege ladders were burned by tinder oil for so long, even if the insulation and fire protection effect were good, they were no longer usable.

Within fifty miles of Lingling City, all the trees were cut down. Where did Liu Bei's army find trees to make siege equipment?

The most important thing is that if Cao Cao had lost so many people this time, it would be fine if it were Cao Cao, but for Liu Bei's army, it was not much different from a crushing defeat!

You know, compared with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Liu Bei's army is pitifully less powerful, and Zhuge Liang is almost using it with his fingers.

Under such circumstances, how could Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang continue to attack the city?

A Lingling City will destroy all the troops. Should we fight for dominance in the future?

Thinking of this, Xing Daorong smiled.

"Uncle Liu is kind and righteous!"

Xing Daorong shouted:

"As long as Uncle Liu does what he says, Anmin will not dare to bear the name of being unrighteous!"

Since Liu Bei did not plan to attack the city, everyone is naturally good friends. No, everyone is naturally good neighbors who stop fighting.

He was not interested in seizing prisoners. After reclaiming the 2,000 defenders of Lingling, he would certainly not detain Liu Bei's 300 soldiers in Jingzhou.

Uncle Liu did what he said.

Shortly after riding his horse back to the formation, the two thousand Lingling soldiers were taken to the city gate. Then, the entire Liu Bei army slowly retreated and retreated directly to ten miles.

Seeing this scene, Xing Daorong smiled with satisfaction, then waved to a side general and ordered:

"Drop off these Liu Bei's army's weapons, bring more than a dozen soldiers, and send them outside the city!"

"Here!"

This star general was the first to leave the city, and he said with his fists.

However, Liu Feng did not leave immediately, but approached Xing Daorong and whispered:

"General, since my Lingling Guards are back, why should I release these 300 people for nothing? Why not...!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xing Daorong glared at him and scolded:

"You want to trap me in unjustly?"

"I dare not!"

Liu Feng hurriedly lowered his head and said.

This world emphasizes benevolence and righteousness. Although most of them are just talk, few people dare to openly violate the way of "benevolence and righteousness".

Liu Feng's proposal is obviously a villain's move.

After looking at this general with only 40 intelligence, Xing Daorong thought to himself disdainfully:

"It's just three hundred people, what's the use of deducting it? It's just a waste of time to detain reputation! I won't do such shameless and useless things!"

"Besides, I might have to be scrambled under Uncle Liu in the future. Isn't it a wise man to offend others like this?"

Not sure what he thought of, Xing Daorong stroked his thick beard under his jaw and a smile appeared at the corner of his eyes.

The prisoner exchange process was very smooth. After the city gate opened, two thousand captured Lingling defenders returned safely, and the 300 Liu Bei soldiers were also released as soon as possible.

A vigorous siege battle came to an end.

It was already evening, and the defenders at the city wall cleaned up the battlefield while starting to make fires and cook.

After a fierce battle, everyone was hungry.

During this period, Liu Bei's army sent a cavalry to ask to bring back the bodies of his dead, which Xing Daorong naturally allowed.

After dinner, he ordered the defenders to continue to guard strictly. With a few personal guards, Xing Daorong found a seat on the top of the city and sat down.

In today's battle, the Lingling defenders lost 2,000. However, when the captured 2,000 people returned, the defenders returned to 5,000 again, and Liu Bei's army had no chance of capturing the city.

"Liu Bei's army must be leaving!"

Looking at the lights flashing ten miles outside the city, Xing Daorong thought to himself:

"It's probably not tonight or at dawn tomorrow!"

No words all night.

The next morning, Xing Daorong was awakened by several generals before he woke up.

"General!"

Liu Feng bowed his fists and said excitedly:

"Liu Bei's army is decapitating the camp. It should have given up on the map of Lingling and returned to Nanjun!"

"oh?"

After rubbing his eyes, Xing Daorong stood up and came to the top of the city to look out.

Sure enough, Liu Bei's army, ten miles away, was heading north, and most of them wanted to give up here and go back to Nanjun.

"General!"

Liu Feng offered advice again and said:

"Liu Bei's army will definitely carry food, grass and supplies. If you are unable to move, why not chase them, you will get something!"

Not only Liu Feng, but the other side generals and the generals also looked at Xing Daorong with anticipation.

Xing Daorong glanced at them, too lazy to pay attention to these people with only thirty or forty intelligence.

Chase?

I can really think, I really dare to think!

Looking at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when did the village man be chased by someone?

If there is, it is also bait, and the pursuers are ambushed!

What is there to say?

If you fail to show off, you will be...

If you chase here, you will definitely be ambushed or annihilated if you fail to pursue it!

Don’t ask me how I know, my real intelligence is at least 90!

Not to mention anything else, if you leave the city and in the plains of the wild, once the villager uses the general-level "wooden wheel attack", who will stop it?

"Shut up!"

His face sank, Xing Daorong scolded:

"Except for sending scouts to inquire, everyone is not allowed to act without action. Those who violate the order shall be dealt with by military law!"

After saying that, he looked at everyone coldly, and ignored him. Xing Daorong left on his own.

Left a side general who was peering from the ground, the general finally sighed helplessly.

Such a good opportunity, but unfortunately the general did not allow troops to be sent!

They all wanted to make contributions, but no one dared to disobey Xing Daorong's military orders.

Since Liu Xian introduced him to the army, Xing Daorong's courage has been admired by everyone. As the war progressed during this period, Xing Daorong's majesty gradually deepened.

Especially in a big battle yesterday, Xing Daorong rescued the lost position like a firefighter. No one could defeat him wherever he passed, and his invincible momentum was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

To this day, in the entire Lingling Army, Xing Daorong is a godlike being. His words are the imperial edict and the golden rule!

Even Xing Daorong did not notice this.

In this era, the army often shares honor and disgrace with the generals, similar to private soldiers. Before he knew it, Xing Daorong had completely controlled the Lingling Army.

...

"What a pity!"

Riding on a horse, surrounded by the left and right generals and army, Liu Bei turned around and looked at Lingling City and sighed:

"It's just a little bit too late to capture Lingling and then collect Jingnan, but was blocked by Xing Daorong alone!"

The surrounding generals, including Zhao Yun, were silent.

They were convinced that they could not conquer Lingling.

Whether it is a strategy or a force, our side has an absolute advantage. The main reason for the failure is that these generals were defeated by Xing Daorong.

Therefore, the generals of Liu Bei's army were speechless.

"Xing Daorong is brave, and he is also meticulous and very cautious!"
