West Gate of Chang'an.

Li Wei and Xi Yan were protected in the center of the Flying Bear Army, Zhou Han and Luo Xie Chong were at the front to open the way, and Li Li was responsible for breaking the rear. And all around them were the enemy's soldiers and horses.

Fan Chou, Yang Feng, and Zhang Ji had already converged, and they chased while fighting, driving Li Dao and others to the west gate. There, there was their last killing move, the largest number of troops led by Guo Yan, that is, the Xiliang cavalry that had been led by him to patrol outside Chang'an City.

In order to show the alliance, Ma Teng had previously sent 10,000 Qiang soldiers to join. Now this cavalry of 30,000 people is strong enough to be proud of the Central Plains.

It is such a soldier and horse, and at this time it is blocking Li Wei's retreat in front of the west gate.

Zhou Han and Luo Xie found the black cavalry in front of the West Gate from a distance, so they hurriedly stopped the team.

All saw the desperation in the eyes of their companions.

There were about 70,000 men and horses of the three generals behind him, and almost all the roads were blocked, and the entire street and surrounding alleys were paved full. And there was such a cavalry waiting for work in front of them, with less than 20,000 flying bear troops alone, and there was no charging distance, it was impossible to escape at all.

"General Li, get off your horse and surrender." Fan Chou shouted.

"Hehe, who will it be? Descend on you? General Ben tells you that you are not worthy. Li Dao said with a sneer.

"Humph! I think it's good to persuade my former colleagues, but I don't want you to be so ignorant! General Guo, there is no need to say more, I will get rid of this person today, and it can be regarded as a meritorious service for the Han Dynasty! As he spoke, without waiting for Zhang Ji and Yang Feng to react, Fan Chou rushed over with his subordinates.

At the same time, Guo Yan's cavalry also attacked.

"All the Flying Bear soldiers obey orders! Put away all your blades and head for the West Gate! Li Dao suddenly gave a puzzling order.

However, the Flying Bear Army has absolute trust in Li Dao, and his orders have always been carried out unconditionally.

So they all took their long knives upside down, and began to run with their horses toward Simon.

Fan Chou laughed when he looked at their death-seeking behavior. But the next moment, his smile froze on his face.

Guo Yan's cavalry actually passed by the Flying Bear Army!

"Childish, you go first." This was the only sentence Guo Yan said when he passed by Li Wei's side.

Li Dao didn't look back at him, but said in the same calm tone: "It's hard work." ”

Guo Yan still chose Li Dao at the last moment!

Before Yang Feng shouted "Be careful", the high-speed Guo Yan cavalry had already submerged Fan Chou.

A generation of Xiliang brave generals was trampled into pulp by tens of thousands of cavalry.

"Guo Yan! You bastard! Zhang Ji roared angrily and waved his gun, and led the crowd to meet him with Yang Feng......

……

After a fierce battle, Zhang Ji and Yang Feng finally led the defeated army to evacuate Chang'an. At this time, Liu Xie and his courtiers had already traveled far to the east......

The team of Donggui was much larger than planned, because Dong Cheng, who had previously been Niu Fu's department, and Yang Ding, the former Dong Zhuo's old department, also led the army to join the escort.

When he joined Zhang Ji and Yang Feng again, he happened to pass through Zheng County.

"It seems that every time I am in trouble and displaced, I pass through this place." Liu Xie said self-deprecatingly.

"Your Majesty is a sage and sage, how can a little tribulation stop the Mandate of Heaven of the Han Dynasty. When the east returns to Luoyang, it will be able to restore its former glory. Yang Ding took the opportunity to curry favor.

"I hope it's as Aiqing said......"

Liu Xie looked ahead casually, as if the heavens wanted to give him hope, and a ray of morning light slowly appeared on the horizon......

————————————————

Danyang County, south of Moling County.

Zhen Rong hadn't closed his eyes well for several days, because Sun Cejun, who had been scolding in front of the camp every day, hadn't come over to call for battle for many days.

This unusual silence made him feel uncomfortable. Listening to the enemy's scolding before, he could fall asleep, but now there is no movement at all, but it makes people feel uneasy.

However, he soon got an answer, because the sentry returned that Sun Ce's camp was empty.

When Zhen Rong heard the news, he was surprised and didn't close his mouth for a long time.

What does that mean? If you don't fight him alive or dead, he just throws himself down and runs away?

In order to find out what was going on, Di Rong hurriedly sent multiple groups of scouts, and it took half a day to finally figure it out.

It turned out that not only him was here, but even the Moling County town that Xue Li was defending would no longer be a threat.

Sun Ce really bypassed them to attack Liu Xuan!

After listening to Tanma's return, Zhen Rong scolded all of Sun Ce's ancestors very "politely".

Anger is anger, and the right thing still has to be done. While ordering the troops and horses to pursue, Zhen Rong sent someone to inform Xue Li to gallop to help.

After all, Sun Ce's cavalry was not even enough for a hundred, they were basically all infantry, and the speed of the march would never be too fast.

After Xue Li got the news, he immediately led all the cavalry in the city to gather and set off together. They knew that Sun Ce had less than 10,000 horses, and if he relied on the mobility of the cavalry and carefully avoided a certain old man with a very bad temper, he should be able to crush Sun Ce.

……

Half a day later, Zhen Rong and Xue Li realized that they might be about to catch up with Sun Ce's soldiers and horses, because the footprints on the road were already very new.

At this time, they were quickly passing through a forest path, and Xue Li gave an order to everyone to be more careful.

This was common sense, if it weren't for chasing Sun Ce, he would never have ventured through the forest so much. Because the long but not wide road will stretch the cavalry team into long columns, once ambushed, it will be difficult to support or turn.

But even what he could think of, how could Zhou Yu not think of it.

Just as Xue Li feared, a mysterious team was lurking in the woods.

Without warning, a dozen or so horses at the front of the team suddenly fell to the ground.

Xue Li and Zhen Rong hurriedly stopped their horses to check, only to find that there was a tripwire across the road. I'm afraid that this rope was loose and buried in the soil before, so it was not noticed. What's even more infuriating is that under a closer look at this tripline, there are still some small barbs hanging on it.

Zhen Rong looked to both sides along the rope and immediately shouted, "Watch out for the bow and crossbow!" ”

It turned out that on the side of the road, one person was responsible for pulling up the tripwire, and in the grass behind them, hundreds of crossbowmen suddenly stood up, aiming at the cavalry team in the center of the road.

Without waiting for the people on his side to react, Sun Ce's ambushed crossbowmen began to shoot.

These were the men that Sun Ce had borrowed from the Six Sages—two hundred crossbowmen and the strong bows and arrows they had with them.

Because the Southeast General Hall was well run and had a large amount of ordnance in storage, it was just that Sun Ce didn't want to rely on them too much, so he didn't borrow more.

But more than two hundred people are enough.

The purpose of shooting, reducing the enemy's forces is secondary, and most importantly can create chaos. On the narrow road, once the cavalry is confused, the consequences are unimaginable.

The team in front instinctively ran backwards from the danger, while the team behind did not know what was happening and continued to move forward. As a result, the middle section is becoming more and more congested.

This kind of large-scale chaos is no longer something that a master can control.

No one cared about Xue Li and Zhen Rong's roars, everyone just instinctively ran towards the place they felt safe. But the road was blocked, so many people began to burrow into the woods.

The soldier of Sun Cejun, who had been hiding in the tree, opened the water bladder in his hand, and the black viscous liquid was sprinkled on the enemy cavalry.

Immediately after, dozens of fiery arrows were shot out of the forest, and with a bang, the flames rose into the sky.

This cavalry, which was already very fragile, collapsed.

The ignited cavalry rolled off their horses, some rolling in pain, others running around in excruciating pain, and the result was that they set their companions on fire. The cavalrymen, who had survived all this, fled like madness, and many of them were knocked off their horses, and before they could get up, they were crushed to pieces by the hooves of the horses behind......

……

Sun Ce leaned against a tree far away in the forest, listening to the screams of the enemy soldiers, and leisurely closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Bo Fu, aren't you going to war?" Zhou Yu sat aside, turned his head and asked with a smile.

"If I knew that this thing was so powerful, I would have borrowed some more from the Six Sages." Sun Strategy said with regret.

What he used was the same oil that Shen Rong used when he dealt with Ma Teng before. In fact, Sun Ce didn't even know that this thing existed, and it was at Wu Ning's suggestion that the six sages agreed to let his subordinate Ye Feng bring some by the way.

After seeing with his own eyes how violently the fire oil burned, Sun Ce blamed the six sages a little. If this thing had been sent over earlier, not to mention the camp of Zhenrong, even Moling could easily be taken.

"Don't be too greedy, this thing is extremely rare, I can give you so much, the six sages are already very generous." Zhou Yu sneered.

"Gong Jin, do you still have the leisure to speak for others here? Let's quickly think about how to appease the two uncles. Sun Ce suddenly smiled slyly at Zhou Yu.

Naturally, he said Huang Gai and Cheng Pu. In this operation, Zhou Yu was worried that the two old men would not be able to hold their breath, so he arranged a "beauty difference" for them - using 2,000 men and horses to create the effect of the whole army marching.

In fact, it is to increase the number of footprints, as for the specific method, according to Zhou Yu's meaning: take two steps, take one step back, and don't overlap the footprints.

"Could it be that the two old men really do what I said the way I laughed?" Zhou Yu pretended to be puzzled.

"I'm afraid that at this moment, they are discussing how to dismantle you after they come back." Sun Ce laughed and said.

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If you don't save me, I have no choice but to go to Liu Xuan." ”

After speaking, he spread his hands at Sun Ce.

But Sun Ce didn't laugh, he just said with a somewhat stunned expression: "I heard that the Ten Virtuous Elders and the other two Virtuous Elders seem to be stiff. ”

Zhou Yu also restrained his smile, "I just hope that the six sages can stabilize him, even if he wants to turn his face, at least after we have a foothold in Jiangdong." ”

The two of them looked at each other, but neither of them spoke, but continued to quietly watch the fire soaring into the distance......
