The distance from Huoshan to Bo'an is more than ten miles long, and the paths and dense forests are as winding as ever. Although the moon has reached mid-heaven, the dense forest still looks so dim, as if this is a world forgotten by light.

However, Sun Ce, Chen Wu and Jiang Qin were still on their way.

The rout of Lujiang is speeding through the dense forest under the leadership of Sima, and they must leave all of them in the dense forest, otherwise how can they be worthy of the Danyang elite soldiers who have died in battle and those brave Jiangdong knights? How can you quietly bypass the first-line sky to attack the Lujiang ambush and be caught off guard?

After leaving the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood and noisy wailing at the entrance of the dense forest, I walked another three or five miles, and was about to reach the exit of the dense forest, when I saw more than a thousand torches winding towards the outside of the dense forest.

"Brothers, work hard, those dog thieves are ahead, we must avenge the dead brothers today!" Sun Ce was relieved at first, then angry, and finally turned into a roar like spring thunder.

Chen Wu and Jiang Qin responded at the same time, their legs suddenly clamped, and they slapped their horses on the back with a whip, and the war horse roared like an arrow from the string and ran straight towards the exit of the dense forest.

The war horse is thunderous and murderous.

More than 2,000 remaining Danyang elite soldiers also followed behind the three of them and galloped their horses, like a huge yellow-shouldered crossbow, its speed was so fast and fierce that it almost wanted to pierce the dense forest directly.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, dozens of leading horses roared sadly, and their front hooves soared into the air, half-standing on the road, and stopped.

Sun Ce, Chen Wu and Jiang Qin had quick eyes and hands, coupled with extraordinary riding skills, and grabbed the horse's mane and hugged the horse's neck with a rein, so that they did not show their mastery of "flattening the sand and falling geese backwards" in front of the soldiers under their command.

But the rest of the dozens of soldiers were miserable, they didn't know how to "flatten the sand and fall the geese backwards", but they created their own updated move "Three Hundred and Six in the Air", and one by one they fell into the team behind them like stone bullets thrown by a stone thrower.

Everyone jumped on their horses to dodge, but there were still a hundred and ten knights who couldn't stop and crashed into the horses that had stopped in front of them, and the camp was in chaos for a while.

"What's the deal, these dog thieves really do everything, before it was a tripping rope that directly blocked the road, and now it's too late to arrange a tripping rope, but while running away, the road is sprinkled with thistles, these dog thieves are really hateful!"

Sun Ce turned over and dismounted and took out two thistles from the horse's hooves, and scolded the dog thief twice in succession before calming the anger in his heart a little, but seeing the fire in front of him gradually dimming, he knew that the distance he had just narrowed was getting farther and farther, and the anger rose to his head again.

"Everyone quickly dismounted and walked out of the forest!"

After that, Sun Ce didn't care about the fools who fell to the ground, and took the lead in doing it, and the second senior brother led the war horse forward.

This scene of Shicai was like someone suddenly pouring a scoop of cold water on a pot of boiling water, and the anger in everyone's hearts was accumulating more and more, but the speed and momentum dropped again.

By the time everyone cautiously walked to the mouth of the dense forest, they were already so tired that their backs hurt and they almost couldn't straighten their waists, and the Lujiang rout, which had been not far in front of them, didn't know when it had disappeared out of thin air, and all the torches were extinguished in the thick night.

There was silence all around, and apart from everyone's big gasps, no other sound could be heard, which was unusually weird.

"Major General!"

Chen Wu had just shouted, Sun Ce suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, suddenly straightened up and made a silent gesture to everyone, and shouted anxiously: "Brothers, quickly extinguish the torches and quickly find a place to hide!" ”

Wouldn't it be necessary to rush in the dark when you extinguish the torches?

Chen Wu and Jiang Qin were stunned for a moment, and suddenly the sound of thousands of locusts "buzzing" their wings in the night suddenly chilled in their hearts: Where is there such a dense swarm of locusts at this time? This is not a flying locust, but an arrow from hell!

The two of them were taken aback, and hurriedly hid behind the tree, and the boundless arrows had already emerged from the darkness, and the rain fell like plantains on the place where they had just rested, crackling and crackling.

The rocks, tree trunks, and roadsides were full of long arrows, and the clusters of arrows showed a terrifying chill under the unextinguished torches. However, more arrows fell on the soldiers and horses who had not yet found a place to hide, blood spilled and screams and wails arose.

Only then did everyone understand Sun Ce's shout, and while quickly extinguishing the torch in his hand on the ground, he stepped forward to help up the injured robe and retreated towards the forest.

However, they seem to have forgotten one more thing.

Without those torches, how would they be able to see the thistles underneath their feet? The retreating crowd kept screaming, and the soles of their feet were stabbed or pierced by the thistles one by one, and they were drenched in blood, which was not conducive to walking.

Chen Wu and Jiang Qin glanced at each other, and looked at the invisible ambush soldiers in the night in front of them in shock, they had already fallen for the Lu family's tricks.

It turned out that the ambush set up by Lu Yunqing and others at the entrance of the dense forest was actually just to lay the groundwork here.

Lu Kang'er's real intention was to delay the speed and pace of their attack, to vigorously kill and injure their cavalry so that there would be no more cavalry available, to lure the king into the urn and use their own eyes and inherent thinking to trap them.

After all, they had all "seen" the routs fleeing in a hurry at the entrance, and they had also "seen" the routs escaping from the forest, and since these routs were able to pass through the dense forest smoothly, then they should not be fine.

However, Lu Kang Lao'er deserves to be a famous old fox, and he actually deceived their eyes arrogantly and gave them these young talents in Jiangdong!

The screams in my ears finally faded away, and the remaining soldiers had quietly retreated into the forest.

"Cuckoo Cuckoo!"

Two cuckoo chirps suddenly sounded in the forest, and a black shadow pounced with a spear, Chen Wu and Jiang Qin hurriedly caught it, with anxiety in their voices: "Young General, now we are in a dilemma, if we keep dragging it out, when will we be able to reach the first line of heaven?" ”

Sun Ce put down the Overlord Gun, rubbed the sorrow and uneasiness between his eyebrows, and sighed: "Gong Yi, Zilie, don't think about the matter of the first line of heaven first, I always feel that this is not their last resort, after all, they don't know that we plan to raid the first line of heaven!" ”

"Isn't that a last resort?" Chen Wu and Jiang Qin looked at each other, and a chill couldn't help but rise in their hearts, and their bodies trembled slightly.

Sun Ce nodded, his face heavy: "Don't you think this wave of arrows from them is very strange?" ”

"Strange?"

"Yes, if their purpose is only to kill and injure the main force of our army, then they actually only need to set up ambushes on both sides of the road, and I believe that the effect under the rain of arrows will be even more serious than what they are now!"

"Does the Major General mean that their purpose is not to entangle and fight us in the forest, but to force us back into the forest?"

"Exactly! That's why I can't figure out what their purpose is, and what's the point of doing so if it's just to obstruct our army from leaving the forest? As long as the day is clear, their deployment outside the forest will be fully visible, and there will be no danger at all! ”
