Chapter 4 Eighth, the duel of old knowledge

The fire on the forest road gradually extinguished, leaving behind trees with sparks and charred corpses on both sides.

The fire, which lasted for an hour, devoured most of Xue Li and most of Zhen Rong's cavalry.

Sun Ce kicked away the blackened horse's legs at his feet and frowned slightly.

"I don't want this thing to be so powerful."

"After this battle, they will definitely not come to pursue again." Zhou Yu walked up to him and said.

"In the end, Gong Yi is right, we really can't waste our strength here." Sun Ce said and looked at Jiang Qin beside him.

"The young master is wise. Now that the pursuers have been defeated, what's next? Jiang Qin did not look proud, but asked respectfully.

"Let's go and meet with a few old generals first, I think the two generals Han and Zu should also arrive at this time." Zhou Yu patted Sun Ce on the shoulder, signaling that it was time for him to set off.

Sun Ce nodded and beckoned his subordinates to start marching.

After walking about ten miles, Sun Ce met with the team.

To his surprise, he ordered Han Dang and Zu Mao to recruit soldiers, but he didn't expect that the Sun family's reputation was still there, and there were more than 8,000 people who came to admire him. At the same time, the six sages ordered all of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's subordinates to come to help in the battle, so now the total number of Sun Ce's army has reached nearly 20,000.

With one heart and one mind, today's Sun Ce can be described as high-spirited.

According to Sun Ce's meaning, he wanted to go directly to Qu'a and Liu Xuan for a decisive battle, but was stopped by Zhou Yu.

And this time, Cheng Pu and Zhou Yu agreed for the first time - to sweep away Liu Xuan's scattered soldiers and horses first.

There are two reasons: first, with Liu Xuan's character, the soldiers and horses scattered somewhere are wiped out, there is no direct threat to him, and he will not come out to the rescue; Second, it is better to destroy the soldiers and horses one by one than to be distracted to deal with reinforcements from all walks of life when fighting against Liu Xuan.

At this time, Sun Cejun's morale was at its peak, and in order to gain time, at Zhou Yu's suggestion, he set his target at Meiling, Danyang County, which was far away from Liu Yu's location.

The future "Little Overlord" took the first step towards the leader of Koto......

————————————————

Xuzhou, Donghai County, ten miles south of Cheng County.

Dark clouds obscured the sky, making the night even darker.

Chen Gong, Cao Xing and others were running desperately with less than 4,000 horsemen and horses.

Previously, in order to make this team more mobile, Lu Bu gave each person a war horse, and the soldiers and horses he brought to Pengcheng were basically on foot except for trapping the camp.

Originally, according to the plan, they would join Tang Zhou in Chengxian, but when they were near Lanling, a strange cavalry suddenly ambushed them.

Without warning, the short spears that flew in killed hundreds of wolf horsemen in an instant.

Although the Divine Bow Battalion also immediately fought back, the opponent's riding skills were very exquisite, and they all leaned over to the side of the war horse. A volley came down, only a few dozen horses were brought down, but the enemy on the horse was unscathed.

Of course, they didn't know who the enemy was, because this was the first time they had faced the Dragon Blade Battalion.

After Zhao Yun rescued Gongsun Zan that day, he made his attitude very clear: the favor has been repaid, and the two do not owe each other.

Gongsun Chan knew that he couldn't keep him, so he had to regret separating from Zhao Yun.

After that, Zhao Yun led his men to secretly return to Xuzhou.

In fact, just like Huang Zu supplied Tang Zhou's subordinates, Zhao Yun relied on Mi Zhu's funding. As a night handsome who is specifically responsible for management, Mi Zhu has a huge business system under him. Even if it provides food for tens of thousands of people, it can cope with it easily.

Therefore, when Zhao Yun returned to Xuzhou, he could only contact Mi Zhu immediately.

But unexpectedly, Mi Zhu immediately bargained with himself and asked to find Chen Gong and others who disappeared in Xuzhou.

After several days of exploration, Zhao Yun finally discovered the whereabouts of this group of people and horses in Lanling.

So, there was an ambush from Lanling.

……

After a long pursuit, both sides were a little tired.

During this period, there were several skirmishes of contact, and Zhao Yun exchanged more than 200 casualties for more than 1,000 enemies.

Chen Gong understood that he couldn't keep consuming like this, otherwise his army would be wiped out before Chengxian arrived.

Therefore, Chen Gong changed his way of travel, deliberately taking some crooked paths, so that the enemy's throwing guns could not be used. Despite this, dozens of back-mounted archers were killed by the enemy.

Zhao Yun also determined their destination through the direction of travel of the Chen Palace, and looking at the way the other party was advancing at all costs, he vaguely guessed that there might be reinforcements.

Just as Zhao Yun was chasing Chen Gong around a valley path, a shower of arrows suddenly shot at the valley from both sides outside the valley mouth at the same time.

Unlike the previous shooting of the Divine Bow Battalion, this time the intensity was by no means something that a thousand people could do.

Although Zhao Yun told his subordinates to be careful at the first time, many people were still shot off their horses.

But Zhao Yun's style of doing things was different from that of ordinary generals, he did not choose to retreat, but ordered to speed up and desperately rushed out of the valley.

The people and horses that caught his eyes surprised him - all yellow scarves wrapped around his head.

The Yellow Turbans, the people of the Night Blade!

At this time, Chen Gong and the others had already stopped their horses, and it was Tang Zhou who was standing beside them.

"The thirteen sages are handsome Tang Zhou under the night, and they are polite." Zhao Yun said with a cold gaze.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although Eleven Elders also participated in it, it was very unexpected that the three night commanders under him unanimously expressed their opposition and joined the ranks of exterminating the Yellow Turban Army.

At the beginning of the Hebei General Hall, Tang Zhou and Zhao Yun were also familiar with each other. It's just that I heard later that Tang Zhou did a "good deed" in Luoyang, although he helped the imperial court, it also made Zhao Yun feel a little disgusted with him.

But as a traitor to the Yellow Turbans, he is now leading more than 10,000 Yellow Turban troops to fight against him, and Zhao Yun can't figure out the situation for a while.

"After all, you and I have worked together, can you sell my favor and let them go?" Tang Zhou asked Zhao Yun with a smile.

"They must have bad intentions when they come to Xuzhou, why do you want to help them?" Zhao Yun asked rhetorically.

"Do you know that the four sages are handsome at night?"

"What does it have to do with her?"

"She was killed by her own rebel Zhang Feng, as for the reason, Zhang Feng only wanted to get rid of Lu Bu, so he escaped at all costs." Tang Zhou's face showed a look of loss.

"Do you want to avenge Weiyun, so you followed Lu Bu and waited for Zhang Feng to appear?" Zhao Yun only understood what had happened at this time.

"Yes, I cooperated with Lu Bu at this time to capture Zhang Feng."

Zhao Yun lowered his head and stopped talking.

Tang Zhou just waited with a smile, completely ignoring the inquiry that Chen Gong threw with his eyes.

When he was in the same Hebei General Hall, he was used to Zhao Yun's gloomy personality. When he was thinking, the most annoying thing was being disturbed.

"I'm just afraid of this favor, I can't sell you." Zhao Yun raised his head and said coldly.

"Brother Gongtai, it seems that a vicious battle is inevitable. Take you and the generals and leave. Tang Zhou said helplessly to Chen Gong.

"Then there will be Lau Tang in charge." Chen Gong arched his hand at Tang Zhou, turned around with his horse, and signaled Cao Xing and the others to retreat.

……

The warm night breeze blew, and Zhao Yun's hair fluttered wantonly.

Tang Zhou took a big knife from his subordinates and spoke again: "It's the same abandoned Ye Feng, is this really the case?" ”

"If you can let me go after them, you don't need to do anything." Zhao Yun said expressionlessly.

Tang Zhou shook his head and slowly pulled his stance. The more than 10,000 Yellow Turban troops behind him also formed a formation.

The Long Feng battalion behind Zhao Yun was also ready to charge.

"Hebei General Hall, is it destined to disappear?" Tang Zhou suddenly asked.

Zhao Yun looked at Tang Zhou and did not answer.

The next moment, he had already pointed the thin gun in his hand forward and issued the order to attack.

Like a sharp arrow, Zhao Yun led the Long Feng battalion to charge.

And Tang Zhou also raised his hand to give the order, and the archers began to shoot again.

As if infected by the darkness of the night, no one shouted to kill, only the whistling sound of arrows and short guns flying by.

As the distance narrowed, the men and horses on both sides fell in pieces.

But Zhao Yun had no intention of paying attention to these at the moment, because he had already rushed in front of Tang Zhou.

Tang Zhou took a step outward with his right foot, and then used it as an axis to spin outward to flash Zhao Yun's war horse, and at the same time held the knife in his right hand and slashed horizontally, hitting the horse's neck.

The war horse fell forward in an instant. However, Zhao Yun himself did not need the assistance of a war horse. He threw his feet off his stirrups and jumped backwards.

At the same time that Zhao Yun landed, Tang Zhou's left leg had already kicked over.

Zhao Yun leaned back to dodge, and immediately used the barrel of the gun to support it to move sideways to the right, and then, he stabbed the spear blade into Tang Zhou's chest, and his body naturally lay on the ground.

Tang Zhou's body flashed back on the left side, letting go of this stab, and at the same time slashed the knife on the ground with his backhand and sent it at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun hurriedly turned over and slid outward with the support of the gun.

Then, he slapped the ground with his left hand, turning into a kneeling position, and after a short pause, he suddenly burst out and rushed towards Tang Zhou, while his hand gradually slipped to the side of the gun.

At this time, Tang Zhou had already accepted the recruitment, and when he saw Zhao Yun rushing over, he raised his knife and slashed down.

However, Zhao Yun stuck to Tang Zhou's body at a faster speed, so that Tang Zhou's big knife could not slash him.

Then, he grabbed Tang Zhou's knife-holding arm violently and walked towards his side.

Tang Zhou resisted and pushed backwards, but immediately after, he knew that it was not good.

Because Zhao Yun didn't continue to grab him, and as soon as he used such a force, he staggered backwards.

Zhao Yun punched away Tang Zhou's left hand that wanted to protect his chest, and stabbed Tang Zhou's heart with the short spear edge left in front of his right hand.

Then, he let go of the hand holding the gun, and instead wrapped his arms around Tang Zhou's shoulders and pulled hard to his side.

The tail end of the gun fell to the ground and was pressed against the soil, and as soon as Zhao Yun pulled it like this, the spear blade penetrated Tang Zhou's chest entirely.

Tang Zhou let out a muffled snort, and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground.

He struggled a few last times, then his hands hung down and he stopped breathing.

Zhao Yun walked behind him, grabbed the barrel of the gun that had penetrated his chest, and dragged it with all his strength.

The entire thin spear passed through Tang Zhou's gradually cold body, dyed bright red.

And Tang Zhou's body, after losing its support, fell to the ground......
