"Wu Gong, where is General Deng? Subordinate...... The subordinates want to ......"

Lu Meng came to Sun Ce, looked at Sun Ce's disgraced face, and couldn't speak anymore.

The sense of foreboding is getting stronger.

"General Deng was not in the enemy's ranks, and he may have died in battle."

Zhou Yu's words made Lu Meng stand on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning for a moment.

"Although we have not received specific information, if General Deng is not killed in battle, he will be captured alive, and the army did not encounter General Deng when it retreated, and the probability that General Deng can escape is extremely low."

Zhou Yu added another sentence.

Deng Dang is Lü Meng's brother-in-law, originally in Yuan Shu's army, earlier followed Sun Ce to Jiangdong to fight, Lü Meng pretended to be an adult at the age of fifteen and followed Deng Dang's army, all the way with Deng Dang grew up, it can be said that Deng Dang is Lü Meng's military enlightenment teacher, which is very important to him.

Now that Deng Dang's life and death are unknown, Lu Meng suddenly lost his senses.

"How can this be ......"

Lu Meng couldn't stand up, his body collapsed on the ground, crying bitterly.

Sun Ce turned his face away from looking at Lu Meng, only feeling that Lu Meng's crying was a great irritation for him.

Zhou Yu stepped forward to help Lu Meng, took Lu Meng to other places to comfort him, broke Lu Meng away, and then returned to Sun Ce.

"Let's go, Bo Fu, let's cross the river, and the speed should be fast."

Sun Ce nodded with grief, didn't say anything, and walked to the riverside with Zhou Yu to prepare to land, just when Sun Ce stepped on the boat with one foot and was about to cross the river, an urgent report suddenly came.

More than ten miles away, the cavalry of the Wei army was discovered, and they were rushing towards Liyang.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were shocked.

"Oops! Zhang Wenyuan's reaction was too fast, Bo Fu, you go quickly, here I will lead the troops to block it and buy you time! ”

Zhou Yu said that he was about to rush back.

"Bastard!"

Sun Ce grabbed Zhou Yu: "If you die, what will I do while I am alive?" ”

"Who said I was going to die?"

Zhou Yu was anxious and shouted: "I'm not Wu Gong, you are!" You are the lord of the Wu Kingdom, if you are gone, we are all finished! You have to live! You are not allowed to die! Give me the pass! ”

Zhou Yu pushed Sun Ce onto the boat, and then pushed Dong Xi, who was following on the side, onto the boat, and shouted "cross the river", and the soldiers on the boat immediately rowed away from the riverbank.

Sun Ce was a little stunned for a while, until he realized something until he found himself getting farther and farther away from Zhou Yu, and he wanted to jump back into the river in a hurry, but was stopped by the soldiers and Dong Xian on the boat.

"Gong Jin!! Gong Jin!! ”

Sun Ce shouted hoarsely, Zhou Yu endured the grief in his heart, turned his head away from Sun Ce, and ran forward.

The Wu army in front became restless because of the news that the Wei army was pursuing, and it was only through the pressure of Huang Gai and Han Dang's bullets that they could barely control the Wu army, and did not let them rush to the river on a large scale to grab the boats, which was barely under control.

So Zhou Yu stepped forward with his few remaining pro-soldiers, called Huang Gai and Han Dang, and discussed his decision with them.

"I want to lead the troops to set up a defensive line to prevent Zhang Wenyuan's cavalry from rushing over and blocking our crossing of the river, these soldiers and horses want to return to Jiangdong as much as possible, we really can't afford to lose."

Han Dang and Huang Gai looked at each other, but they didn't expect that it was Zhou Yu who took the initiative to stand up at this time.

To be honest, Huang Gai and Zhou Yu, plus Cheng Pu, because of their age and seniority, have always been dissatisfied with Zhou Yu, who is young but trusted by Sun Ce, and are not very willing to admit his status and merits, but when they look at it today, they are indeed impressed.

Zhou Yu is a responsible man.

So Huang Gai and Han Dang each allocated a part of their own personal troops to Zhou Yu to command, and Huang Gai even took the initiative to stand up and say that he wanted to lead the army with Zhou Yu to resist, but Zhou Yu sternly refused.

"It's enough to have me, and you don't need more people, General Huang, General Han, you are generals, and you are indispensable to Duke Wu."

Zhou Yu persuaded Huang Gai and Han Dang to retreat, Huang Gai and Han Dang felt very moved, and mobilized a part of the soldiers to follow Zhou Yu, so that Zhou Yu had 2,000 soldiers to use, and concentrated all the remaining shields, spears and bows and crossbows to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu took these things with him, and led his troops alone against the road, heading in the direction of the Wei cavalry.

Zhou Yu knew that there were no cavalry in his army and horses, all of them were foot soldiers, and against the cavalry, he must hold the key crossings, give full play to the advantages of the infantry army's military formation, and withstand the charge of these cavalry, so as to limit this group of cavalry.

Zhang Wenyuan hurriedly pursued south, it was impossible to bring the main force and heavy weapons, and the number of this group of cavalry was estimated to be limited, so it should not be so difficult to bear.

Zhou Yu's judgment was right, and he was even slightly relieved when he saw the cavalry led by Zhang Liao charging with a sense of oppression from afar.

The cavalry that came in a hurry, without heavy weapons, without strong crossbows, and not very many in number, was estimated to be more than the defenders he had brought, but it was not impossible to fight.

It should not be difficult to insist that all the Jiangdong children behind him cross the river and leave.

So Zhou Yu gave an order, and the Jiangdong soldiers were full of spirit, looked nervously at the Wei cavalry opposite, and prepared for battle.

And Zhang Liao and Xu Huang frowned when they looked at the Wu army blocking the road blocking the way.

"Do any more thieves dare to fight? It seems that Sun Bofu is not without merit, at least there are so many people who are willing to die for him. ”

Zhang Liao sighed slightly.

"General, these people are a rabble, let's just rush up and kill them."

Xu Huang was a little impatient.

Zhang Liao grabbed Xu Huang: "After only praising you a few words, you started to be impulsive again?" See clearly, the army is well-groomed, there are a lot of shields, spears, bows and crossbows, this is a rabble? If you ride a horse and rush up, you will be looking good with thousands of arrows from there. ”

Xu Huang saw that this was really the case, so he shrank his head and stopped talking.

"Dismount and prepare for foot combat, it is no good to continue riding in this situation."

Zhang Liao made a decision, so more than 3,000 cavalry dismounted one after another, formed a foot army, holding an iron shield, holding a ring-headed sword, quickly formed a military formation, and looked at the Sun Wu army opposite.

Zhou Yu saw that Zhang Liao ordered the army to dismount and form a military formation, his face tightened, knowing that this battle was not easy to fight, Zhang Liao was a capable person, and knew that there would be no good end to charging with cavalry here, so he decisively decided to dismount and fight on foot.

Zhang Liao stared at the banner of the word "Zhou" erected in the Wu army's military array, so he thought of the name Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu, I remember that Guo Peng was angry at that time for this person to take refuge in Sun Ce, and he was not friendly to the Zhou family in Shu County, Lujiang, and ordered the Zhou family to move to Yecheng.

It seems that Guo Peng attaches great importance to this former general of Wu Guo, who is known as Jiangzuo Zhoulang.
