When Liu Zheng's troop mobilization and deployment had just been completed, Sun Jian and others had already begun to break through from the city gate.

said that it was a breakthrough, but in fact, it was an escape, and the city gate here was not defended by Liu Zheng's troops at all.

Sun Jian led the remnants of more than 9,000 soldiers and horses, opened the city gate from here, and marched rapidly in the direction of Changsha County.

At the beginning, Sun Jian was still a little cautious, after all, not a single Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses were arranged here, and Sun Jian always had an ominous premonition, feeling that there would be fraud here.

Always be on guard and dare not be careless.

But when he led his soldiers and horses out of Shaoyang City, and walked a distance, without even seeing a single pursuer behind him, Sun Jian relaxed a little.

"It seems that Liu Zheng's purpose is only to attack the city, and he didn't even send people to pursue him. It can be seen that he is still not sure to deal with us people. ”

Zu Mao followed behind Sun Jian, and after seeing that there were no pursuers behind him, he immediately said a word to Sun Jian.

"General Zu Mao, don't say that, there are no pursuers now, it doesn't mean that Liu Zheng won't pursue, he is very cunning, maybe he has already left an ambush here, we still must not be careless."

Huang Gai immediately warned him, for Liu Zheng, Huang Gai had also seen his power before, and knew that Liu Zheng was not an ordinary person.

"Well, we can't be careless, then Liu Zheng won't let us go so easily, his purpose can't be just a Shaoyang City, make a big move, use forty or fifty thousand troops, how can it be just to attack a Shaoyang City, most of the purpose is still us, or even Cai Mao's people."

Cheng Pu also mixed in.

"Yes, there are no chasing soldiers now, it doesn't mean that Liu Zheng's men and horses will never chase over, I heard that when Liu Zheng was in Runan, he established a cavalry, and those cavalry were snatched from the hands of Huangfu Song Zhonglang, and later those cavalry even defeated Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the strength can be seen to be extraordinary."

"If he sends cavalry in pursuit at this time, then we ......"

Huang Gai continued, but before he could finish speaking, Cheng Pu suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Huang Gai's words.

"Wait, listen, what's that sound?"

After Cheng Pu's words were finished, there was a burst of silence.

The crowd looked at each other, but did not speak, but listened quietly.

The sound of knock goes from small to big, from far to near.

Although the change was not obvious, it gradually became clear, and it immediately made everyone's faces change.

The expression on Cheng Pu's face became more and more ugly, he jumped directly from his horse, and then immediately knelt on one knee, and the whole person fell to the ground, listening to the ground.

Cheng Pu is a native of Youzhou Right Beiping, Youzhou is good at producing good horses, Cheng Pu, who grew up in Beiping since childhood, naturally clearly understands that these sounds are the sound of war horses galloping.

He knelt on the ground, and after listening for a few seconds, he immediately got up and glanced at Sun Jian with a solemn face.

"Lord, it's not good, this is the voice of the war horse!"

"Huang Gai, Huang Gai, you are really a crow's mouth, what are you talking about, there is no cavalry in this vicinity, Cai Mao does not, we don't, there are cavalry people, only that Liu Zheng, these cavalry must be under that Liu Zheng!"

Sun Jian immediately became nervous, glanced at everyone, and then immediately paced back and forth, trying to think about how to deal with it.

"Everyone, what should I do now, the cavalry is coming, we people, we can't outrun those cavalry with these two legs, think of a way."

Sun Jian couldn't be more clear about the strength of the cavalry, he followed Zhu Jun and participated in a lot of battles, even the Qiang rebellion that faced Xiliang before, Sun Jian was fortunate to participate, although he was soon transferred to Changsha to quell the rebellion.

But Sun Jian is clear about the horror of the cavalry, not to mention that he only has 9,000 men under his command now, even if it is doubled, he does not dare to let these infantry face the charge of the cavalry.

"Lord, for the sake of today, we can't continue to escape, if we continue to escape, there is only one way to die, fight those cavalry here, rely on the trees in that woodland, we still have the strength to fight!"

Although the road from Shaoyang to Changsha is considered a flat river, there are still some trees, and there are many woodlands.

The woodlands in the south are not the same as in the north.

Most of the woodlands in the north are straight trees, and there are some gaps between the trees, and war horses can still pass through them.

But the south is different, the south is full of trees, there are both coniferous and broad-leaved forests, the coniferous forests are tall, the broad-leaved forests are short and thick, and the branches stretch out in all directions to make the mountains and forests dense with vegetation, and the march is difficult.

It is difficult for cavalry to pass through the mountains and forests in the south, once Sun Jian's soldiers can hide in the woods, but the cavalry that can lead Liu Zheng cannot play much role for a while, and can only work outside the forest in a hurry.

"Okay, then let's fight here first, when I was in Shaoyang City, I haven't had a good fight with Liu Zheng's people, I always feel a little unconvinced, if I can wipe out Liu Zheng's cavalry here, it will not be a loss, but brothers, remember, a quick battle, Liu Zheng is very cunning, since he sent cavalry to pursue, he must have expected that we would take this road, so he must have a backhand!"

Sun Jian understood that after Cheng Pu's suggestion, he immediately said a word to everyone.

When the sound of the cavalry trampling the earth in the distance gradually became closer and closer, the nine thousand soldiers and horses under Sun Jian's command had all entered the woodland next to them.

Xu Huang led two thousand cavalry and killed here, and there was no shadow of Sun Jian's men and horses in the distance, but there were bustling crowds in the woodlands on both sides.

Xu Huang waved his hand, and then with his other hand, he pulled the reins, and the war horse immediately stopped.

"The enemy is in front of the woodland, everyone be careful, don't go into the woodland alone, go in groups, remember, delay is the main thing, our purpose is to contain these enemy troops, waiting for the arrival of the lord's army."

"Yes!"

More than 2,000 people behind him immediately erupted into a majestic echo, and Xu Huang took the lead in carrying a big axe and rushed into the woodland.

In the woods, looking at the two thousand war horses, rushing into the woodland without fear, Sun Jian's eyes began to become more and more gloomy.

"Okay, let me see how powerful you cavalry who have defeated the Xiliang Iron Cavalry are!"

Sun Jian pulled out the big knife, and the cold glow on the blade was refracted on his face, making his expression more and more hideous.
