Feng Shuangli's old face turned red and white, and he was extremely embarrassed.
Well, it was a wasted trip.
"Rest for a day, then attack Jingling County."
Before the day's rest time was over, scouts brought news: Hui Dengxiang, who was stationed in Jingling, had also escaped.
The escape direction was also Mianyang County.
Feng Shuangli's army was caught in a dilemma.
Just go back to the city?
This trip out of the city yielded nothing and morale plummeted.
Continue chasing?
The other side is obviously trying to lure the enemy deeper.
Mianyang County is two hundred miles away from Jingzhou. If he attacks rashly, his retreat will be cut off by Yuan Jixian.

"Damn it, I'm so angry! The Ming government troops actually abandoned the city and fled. Zhu Youjian, Zhu Cilang, do you know what happened? Hurry up and take care of them!" Feng Shuangli was so angry that he cursed.

Ma Jinzhong didn't care and deployed a large number of scouts near Qianjiang before entering the city.
There is a slight change.
He would get the news as soon as possible and then turn around and run away without hesitation.
Outside Yuezhou City.
"Report! Feng Shuangli led 20,000 troops out of the city to attack Qianjiang and Jingling. Ma Jinzhong and Hui Dengxiang got the news in advance, and to avoid the attack, they led their troops to retreat to Mianyang County."
Before Yuan Jixian had time to think about the news, he received another letter from He Tengjiao: He Tengjiao personally led 10,000 troops from Changsha, intending to join forces with him to attack Yuezhou.
