Just when all the cavalry were about to be killed, there was sudden movement in the direction they came from. The fighting crowd could feel the earth shaking. They all stopped their movements and looked back, tightly

Staring in that direction...

Suddenly, the neighing sound of war horses came from under the shade of the trees, followed by one, two, three... Soon nearly tens of thousands of cavalry appeared. The leaders were Wu Jing and Sun Ben, and behind them were

The only one who had just stayed was the 8,000-strong army. When the scouts went back to report that they were at a disadvantage, Wu Jing immediately ordered the entire army to dispatch and came to support.

"Reinforcements! They are our reinforcements! General Wu is here!"

A soldier whose left eye had been chopped off was shouting to the surroundings in great excitement, while the remaining few hundred people also rose up one after another, fighting for their lives with the Danyang soldiers around them. Unexpectedly, they relied on the sudden explosion.

The morale that came out was actually able to fight the Danyang soldiers back and forth.

"Scatter them!"

Wu Jing shouted from the front, and when he saw that the remaining three thousand cavalry were about to rush into the crowd, he only heard Sun Ben next to him shouting hurriedly.

"There's an ambush!!"

Wu Jing, who heard this, looked in his direction. Before he could ask, he saw the cavalry group running out from the right side of Sun Ben from the corner of his eye. Before he said the words "be careful and ambush", he

They heard shouts of killing on the left hand side, and then another group of cavalry rushed towards them. It was obvious that they were completely calculated by the opponent.

"Don't panic! Prepare for impact!"

After Wu Jing's order was issued, before the army behind him had time to react, the opponent had already rushed forward. He rushed directly into the crowd from half the waist of Wu Jingjun, and the impact force of 100% exploded instantly.

Soon, Wu Jingjun's cavalry from the middle were knocked down or cut down like a dam bursting, and this continued until the end.

In just the blink of an eye, nearly half of Wu Jing's cavalry were destroyed, and the previous charging momentum collapsed in an instant. Wu Jing and Sun Ben kept slashing with their swords while still directing the remaining troops to counterattack.

, but the opponent's ambush was a great success, and their morale was strong. However, because of this incident, the morale on our side has plummeted. Therefore, it can be seen very intuitively that although Wu Jing and Sun Ben are trying their best to kill the enemy,

But his soldiers are still like leeks, being harvested one after another. It is estimated that in less than a quarter of an hour, his own people will be wiped out by the regiment.

"Uncle, our defeat has been decided. We can't win. We'd better break out of the encirclement while we still have some strength left!"

Sun Bi, who knew he couldn't win, suggested to Wu Jing to run away quickly. How could Wu Jing not know this? But he didn't want to in his heart.

"I know I can't win! But...but they are all because of me..."

Wu Jing looked into the mountain road. Of the hundreds of people who had fought with the Danyang soldiers before, there were now less than ten fingers left. However, they did not give up. They were still fighting for their lives with the enemy, perhaps because they wanted to die.

The people who pulled in a few more people may have believed that Wu Jing and the others could break through the siege and rescue them. It was precisely because he thought of these possibilities that Wu Jing was even more hesitant to speak now.

"Uncle, I understand your feelings deeply. No one wants to watch their brothers die, but now we have no way to save them! If we delay any longer, not only them, but also ourselves will die.

Here, the gecko still knows how to cut off its tail to survive, so does my uncle want to take these brothers who still have a chance to escape alive to die?!"

As he spoke, Sun Ben became more and more excited, so much so that in the end he felt like questioning Wu Jing.

Perhaps because he heard Sun Ben's anger, Wu Jing finally made up his mind after painful experience.

"Everyone, turn around immediately and follow me out of the siege!"

Wu Jing shouted to the people around him, and all the cavalrymen ran to his side. Following the pace of Wu Jing and Sun Ben, they kept attacking the enemies in the same straight line with all their strength. Witnessing the life and death

hope, so everyone's morale is constantly rising, even if they are already exhausted; even if the long sword in their hands has been cut to the point of curling, the action of swinging the sword does not dare to stop for a moment.

Because they all know that if they stop, they will definitely die here...

The general on the opposite side saw Wu Jingjun's almost crazy offensive and immediately ordered to his men:

"The whole army disperses!"

After receiving the order, everyone immediately stood on both sides, leaving a small path. Seeing this, Wu Jing did not dare to delay. He immediately ran away with the remaining troops and finally escaped from the encirclement.

The general who was watching Wu Jing's escape from behind just asked his men to clean up the battlefield and did not choose to pursue him. This made his men confused.

"General, why did you give up a way out when you could clearly wipe them out just now? Our army's morale is strong now, and besides, we are still on our own territory. If we catch up, we will definitely annihilate them, so why don't you choose to pursue them?"

The general next to him was very confused, but from his respectful attitude and the banner with the word Zhou behind him, it could be judged that this person was none other than the Danyang Prefect—Zhou Xin.

Looking at the other party's confused look, Zhou Xin patiently explained

"First, they have just fought with our army with the determination to defeat them. Of course, we can continue to encircle and suppress them, but even if we win, we will definitely pay a heavy price; second, our mission is to defeat the enemy

The reinforcements are stopping here to prevent them from running to Wu County, and they are at best a vanguard team, and the real food has not yet been served. Before that, we must conserve our troops as much as possible, and there are still tough battles to be fought later."

After some explanations, the deputy general finally understood.

"Thank you for clarifying my doubts, lord. I will go clean the battlefield right now."

"Well, remember, burn all the dead ones. If you encounter the living ones, capture them first and organize them."

"promise!"

…………

On one side, Zhou Xin was already cleaning up the battlefield. On the other side, Wu Jingjun, who had just escaped, was still in a state of shock. When there was a slight noise in the grass next to the road, the nearest soldier immediately raised his sword.

After getting ready for the battle, a rabbit popped out. He looked around at the army. After sensing the danger, he turned around and ran back into the grass. When the soldier saw it was a rabbit, he finally

It was to feel relieved, and because of the sudden relaxation, the nerves that had been tense before seemed to be pulled out of the body. I felt dizzy before my eyes, and then I fell off the horse.

"Hurry up, pick him up, pinch him, and feed him some water!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Jing hurriedly gave an order. The two soldiers around him immediately dismounted and ran to him. One of them supported his body, while the other pinched him awake and filled his mouth with a water bag.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo..."

After drinking enough, the soldier began to breathe heavily. It seemed that he was almost crossing the Naihe Bridge.

Because of this episode, Sun Ben, who chose to cut off the rear in person, led fifty cavalrymen and was already catching up from behind.

"Boyang, what's the situation? Are there any pursuers coming?"

"No, the other party has no intention of pursuing him at all."

After learning that he was safe, Wu Jingcai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The whole army listens to the order and rest where it is!"

Wu Jing raised his voice and gave instructions to the surrounding soldiers. After hearing that it was time to rest, the soldiers one after another, as if their strength had been drained away, either sat down or lay down, or raised their water bottles and drank heavily.

, there was basically no blood on everyone’s faces, their eyes were a little numb, and they couldn’t feel any vitality.

"Those dozens of brothers?"

"Dead, all dead...Wang Tian and Zhangqiu didn't survive either..."

"Oh, it's all my fault. If I could have persisted a little bit, how could something like this have happened..."

Wu Jing looked at his men like this, and heard the news that the vanguard was completely wiped out. He felt extremely uncomfortable. Sun Ben sighed at the side, patted his shoulder, and handed over his water bag. Wu Jing took it.

After that, he directly raised his head to the highest position, hoping that in this way, the thousands of sorrows in his mind would drift into his stomach along with the cold water.

"General, the head count is complete"

A general dragged his tired body over to report the situation to Wu Jing.

"How many more people are there?"

"Only 3,500 people remain"

After hearing the number of people, Wu Jing couldn't help but sigh.

"Uncle, the whole army has no morale now. Even staying here will not help. It is better to return to Lujiang first and then make plans."

After Sun Ben put forward his suggestion, Wu Jing also understood that the current situation was indeed the case, and gave instructions to the deputy general:

"Send out scouts to guard the surrounding area. After a quarter of an hour, gather the troops and return to Lujiang."

"promise"

"Bo Yang, please go to Changsha in person to find Bo Fu, explain to him the situation in Danyang, and let him make preparations in advance."

"Don't worry, I have this plan too."

…………

In contrast, in Changsha, when receiving the news, Sun Ce and others did not dare to delay. After gathering the army, they began to march towards Yangzhou.

"General Huang, thank you for coming to help. I heard that the general has a ten thousand stone bow that can penetrate willows and shoot willows. I just took this opportunity to learn a thing or two."

Zhou Yu saluted Huang Zhong respectfully and expressed his gratitude. Huang Zhong laughed loudly and replied:

"You're welcome, that boy Wendu saved Quanzi's life. This kindness is as great as the sky. I just want to try my best to repay him a favor. As for the bow skills, just take a look. I can beat him in the world.

My person is not born yet!"

When it comes to bow skills, Huang Zhong's face only shows confidence.

"However, when Brother Seti went to Youzhou, didn't he come back immediately? After such a long time, it's time to come back, right?"

After hearing that Du had not returned for several days, Sun Ce was extremely anxious.

"There's no need to worry, Bo Fu. The journey is long, and there was a heavy snowfall two days ago. It's inevitable that it will take some time."

Zhou Yu comforted Sun Ce. As he said, Wen Du is still at Jin Yuan's house. It's not that he doesn't want to leave, but that he can't leave.
