While Guan Yu was commanding the army to put out the fire.
At the same time.
Zhao Yun also led the surviving Han soldiers and quickly rushed back to Runan City.
As for the issue of fire intensity.
He didn't have much worries.
Even if Guan Yu had no intention of putting out the fire, it would not spread because he had been prepared early in the morning.
Otherwise, he would not have used the strategy of burning the camp to stop the Qi army.
You must know that the Han army camp is surrounded by deep mountains and dense forests on both sides.
Once it spreads, not to mention a radius of 20 miles will be attacked by fire.
He does not want to cause such consequences.
Running all the way.
After some time.
Runan City also appeared in front of Zhao Yun.
And on top of the city wall.
When Kuai Liang returned to Runan City in advance, he had been waiting on the city wall, looking in the direction of the Han army's camp.
When I saw thick smoke rising in the direction of the Han army's camp.
Knowing that Zhao Yun had already begun to burn the camp and retreat, he asked the soldiers at the city gate to prepare. after all.
According to the strategy he proposed, once the burning of the camp began, Zhao Yun would lead his troops to retreat.
Moreover, he did not think that Zhao Yun would be left behind, so he made preparations in advance and waited for Zhao Yun to withdraw his troops, then immediately opened the city and let Zhao Yun in.
When Zhao Yun led his troops and horses appeared not far from the city.
Kuai Liang on the city wall also noticed it, and he could recognize Zhao Yun at the front at a glance.
"Quickly, open the city gate" Kuai Liang ordered to the left and right.
He didn't know whether the fire could stop the Qi army or whether there were pursuers behind him, but it was necessary to let Zhao Yun enter the city first.
"promise" Without hesitation, he handed over his hand, turned around and ran quickly down the city.
Kuai Liang looked at Zhao Yun running back, and there were not many Han soldiers, and he could think of the brutality of the battle ahead, but it would be useless for him to stay there.
Not to mention that he was just a strategist, and he also lost a shoulder.
If he remained, he would only be someone to protect.
He shook his head to get rid of the thoughts in his mind.
Also let the soldiers on the city wall prepare.
Although he also wanted to walk down the city wall to greet them, he still had to be vigilant and command the soldiers on the city wall to be ready to cover Zhao Yun and others as they entered the city without confirming whether there would be enemy troops chasing them from behind.
This is what he should do. squeak Zhao Yun had not yet led his troops to the city gate.
The city gate was slowly pushed forward, making a sound, and the two heavy city gates were also pushed to the left and right by the soldiers. soon.
The city gate was fully opened, revealing the bright city gate passage.
Zhao Yun did not hesitate and led his troops and horses into the city gate passage and entered the city. from time to time.
They have all entered the city.
The opened city gate was also closed again with the push of the soldiers.
"Lead the soldiers and horses to settle down, do some statistics, and then report to the city lord's palace," Zhao Yun ordered to a general.
"Nuo" he answered with his hand raised.
Immediately, he led the tired soldiers towards the city.
After all, there was a military camp in the city.
"After you go ask Master Kuai to arrange the return of the city wall garrison, then go to the city lord's palace to discuss the matter."
Zhao Yun said to a centurion guarding the city gate.
"promise" The centurion also cupped his hands and headed towards the city wall.
Finished the order.
Zhao Yun was not in front of the city gate passage, so he pulled the reins of his horse and headed towards the city lord's mansion.

He knew that there were no Qi troops pursuing him in the rear, and Guan Yu would not use his exhausted troops to attack the city.
Of course, vigilance was still indispensable, and he had left ten thousand soldiers in the city to guard the city wall. , is also something that is needed. soon.
In the city lord's mansion.
The general who had arranged the retreating soldiers and Kuai Liang, who had arranged matters on the city wall, also came to the city lord's palace.
"General, our army has less than 15,000 soldiers who have withdrawn from the camp, and 5,000 cavalry.
Those who have returned are less than 1,000.
All the cavalry captains and others were killed in the battle.
Now the highest position is only a captain of a thousand; Many generals from other ministries also died in the rebellion; none of the general's hundreds of personal guards were spared," Pianjianghui reported.
Hear the words.
Zhao Yun also frowned, waved his hand and said: "Go down and rest first."
"promise" The general didn't hesitate, he handed over his hand, turned around and retreated.
Waiting for the partial will leave.
Zhao Yun also frowned, stretched out his right hand, and rubbed his head.
Faced with such a result, even if he had already guessed it, he still felt very headache.
After a battle, the losses were so huge.
He was also very clear that during the evacuation, there were many soldiers who could not escape from the battle circle.
After all, the Qi army was so large in number that it was impossible for them all to evacuate.
Moreover, of the 5,000 cavalrymen trained personally, there are now less than 1,000 left.
"General" Kuai Liang said.
He did not stay on the battlefield and did not know what happened on the battlefield.
But he was shocked when he heard the statistics of the generals.
He could also think that Zhao Yun and others experienced tragic battles in the Han army camp.
You must know that 50,000 soldiers have gone through battles one after another.
They are experts in hundreds of battles, but they can also be regarded as elite troops.
But less than 15,000 people were able to come back.
Zhao Yun waved his hand and said: "It's okay, and when we made the decision, didn't we already estimate that this situation would happen?
What's more, although our army suffered heavy losses, the Qi army was not easy either."
"Zirou" "exist" "Compose a letter and send it to Jingzhou to explain the situation here.
It is estimated that when the letter is delivered, the lord has led the army to Jingzhou City," Zhao Yun said.
"promise" Kuai Liang didn't have any objections.
"The next step is how to hold on until the reinforcements arrive.
Although the Qi army will suffer heavy losses in this battle, it still has an advantage over our army in terms of strength.
Even if it relies on the city wall, there will still be a hard fight."
Zhao Yun said.
Kuai Liang also nodded in agreement.
After all, now including the 10,000 soldiers originally left behind in the city, there are only 25,000 soldiers.
And now it is unclear how many soldiers and horses the Qi army still has.
Although burning the camp will be able to stop the Qi army for a while, it will not last long.
Wait until the Qi army has rested.
Then they will continue to attack Runan City and carry out the siege.
"Zirou, please go down and ask the kitchen to prepare a good meal so that the soldiers can have a good meal tonight.
In addition, for today's city defense, we will first ask the soldiers who stayed in the city to prepare for the battle.
Let the soldiers who retreated in front be prepared first.
Take a rest."
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and continued.

"promise" Kuai Liang didn't object, so he handed over his hand, turned around and left.
He also knew that after going through a big battle, Zhao Yun also needed a rest, and he was not prepared to stay.
Wait for Kuai Liang to leave.
Zhao Yun also closed his eyes.
After all, he also felt a little tired.
He had gone through a big battle and attacked five miles away, plus the losses in the army.
It all made him feel tired
