Jiang Hong originally led 20,000 soldiers from Guangling to attack Danyang, and ate more than 11,000 soldiers under Zhou Xin's command unscathed, with a total strength of 31,000.

Even if some of the soldiers stayed behind to defend Moling, and some of the soldiers used it as a trick to attack the counties abandoned by Wu Jing in the south, it is reasonable that on the frontal battlefield, Jiang Hong's troops should have surpassed Wu Jing's, at least on par with it.

But the current situation is that Jiang Hong's strength is not only not superior to Wu Jing, but inferior to him, and now it is only by relying on the elite pro-guard army that he can be able to stalemate with Wu Jing. But you Jiang Hong have elite, and I Wu Jing doesn't have it?

As mentioned before, Wu Jing's military strength was given by Yuan Shu, plus Sun Ce led part of Sun Jian's old troops, which had followed Sun Jian's southern expedition to the north for a long time.

Relying on this part of Sun Jian's old troops to resist Jiang Hong's strongest combat effectiveness of the pro-guard army, on the frontal battlefield, Wu Jing used his more troops than Jiang Hong, and gradually turned the situation back, if there is no variable or opportunity to break the current balance, Jiang Hong's defeat is only a matter of time.

But Jiang Hong never fights uncertain battles, even if the situation is deadlocked, or even down, but Jiang Hong, who is sitting in the rear, is not in a hurry at all, as if he still has chips and a hole card.

The woods behind him, because Sun Ce had explored it in advance, there was no trace of the enemy, so Wu Jing was very bold to expose his soft and fragile back, and fought Jiang Hong with all his might. In the woods, there were constantly flocks of birds flying from them, and in normal times, Wu Jing would never let go of such abnormal signs.

But at this moment, the noisy sound of the battlefield was covered up, and Wu Jing's attention was all on the battlefield, and he didn't notice the abnormality at all. Even Sun Ce, who had doubts in advance and felt uneasy, was silent in his shame at the moment, without the slightest notice.

The person in the forest is none other than Ling Cao. Before the battle with Wu Jing, Ling Cao led 8,000 soldiers, and quietly broke away from the large army and touched into the woods from the side. If these 8,000 soldiers are placed on the front, Jiang Hong is sure to defeat Wu Jing, but in this case, the casualties will inevitably be a little too large, and there will be a big battle waiting for Jiang Hong after that, Jiang Hong does not plan to act like this.

Breaking away from the army, when the two armies were fighting, Ling Cao, who sneaked into the woods, was not in a hurry, but sent many spies to climb the towering treetops and watch the battle from afar.

When he learned that the two sides were completely entangled and no one dared to retreat easily, Ling Cao led his soldiers from the woods, and Wu Jingjun's back slashed out, like a sharp knife, stabbing Wu Jing's defenseless back.

Wu Jing and the soldiers under his command did not have the slightest preparation, and they didn't expect that Jiang Hong also reserved a soldier and used the age of the tree to quietly go around his back.

For a while, the soldiers behind Wu Jing were killed by Ling Cao's army, and the chaos continued to spread, and finally spread to the soldiers in front who were fighting with Jiang Hong.

Hehe, Jiang Hongyin laughed, and finally waited for Ling Cao's millennium to kill, Jiang Hong seemed to be as stable as an old dog, but in fact, he was panicked in his heart, and he made that light-hearted appearance just to not let the soldiers worry.

It wasn't until Ling Cao came out that Jiang Hong breathed a sigh of relief, this game was stable.

Ling Cao, who was rushing around behind Wu Jing, suddenly saw Wu Jing's handsome banner, and the idea of cutting the enemy handsome and capturing the enemy flag instantly occupied Ling Cao's brain, and Ling Cao led the army to kill Wu Jing without thinking.

Seeing this, Sun Ce, who was engaged in a battle with the enemy army that was sneaking in, was about to regroup and fight to the death with Ling Cao, if he couldn't beat Dian Wei, I can't beat you Ling Cao, but he was slapped on the neck by Wu Jing behind him, and he fainted again.

It can only be said that Wu Jing made a move, otherwise if Sun Ce at this time fights with Ling Operation, who is in the prime of life, I am afraid that he will also end up being killed or captured, and the little overlord still needs time to grow after all, so that everyone in the world will pay attention.

"Withdraw, I lost this battle, and I lost it completely." Wu Jing's face was ugly, and his words did not hide the frustration in Wu Jing's heart.

Cheng Pu on the side didn't speak, just nodded, put the unconscious Sun Ce on the horse, and evacuated first.

Wu Jing did not evacuate as soon as possible, but picked up his own weapons and personally led the army to fight, boosting morale and filling in a few chances for Sun Ce's smooth escape.

Wu Jing knew his own ability, and he could only be a minister, and the bearing and potential shown by Sun Ce made Wu Jing not hesitate to use his life to cultivate him.

The hope of the Sun family, after all, still needs to be shouldered by Sun Ce, who is only 16 years old at this time, and all Wu Jing can do is to make this moment a little later.

Wu Jing desperately led the army to resist, but the general trend was gone, and what Wu Jing did was just delaying for a while, but Wu Jing wanted the result to be like this.

Seeing that the collapse of his soldiers could no longer be stopped, Wu Jing ordered a retreat, but instead turned on his horse and fled first.

Although he said that he did not hesitate to lose his life for Sun Ce's growth, it was good to be able to survive, in case he ran away, right? As for the soldiers, it is not known how much they can escape.

Han Dang and Huang Gai have been fighting with Dian Wei You, and they have enough mind to pay attention to other places, and after seeing the sneak attack led by Ling Cao, the two of them who have a long time of combat experience know that the situation is not right, and they are ready to slip away.

When Cheng Pu was leaving, he gave a signal to the two from afar. The three old friends have worked together for a long time, and they don't say that they have a common heart with each other, but they can understand the meaning of the existence with a gesture. Originally, there was another Zu Mao who was the same, but in order to save Sun Jian from dying early, there were only three people left.

The two of them saw the signal sent by Cheng Pu, and without saying a word, they turned their horses and left, leaving Dian Wei standing in the cold wind, holding the grass, and the boss didn't give the order to retreat, is it really okay for the two of you to escape like this?

Dian Wei struggled to move on his own feet, and watched the two flee without the slightest way to stop them.

Due to Ling Cao's deliberately chosen timing, the soldiers on both sides were completely twisted together, and they came out to attack Wu Jingjun's rear again. So much so that more than 10,000 soldiers of Wu Jingjun wanted to retreat but did not dare to retreat, because once they retreated, turning around and fleeing, they would leave their fragile backs to the enemy close at hand, and let them choose to slaughter, which can be described as a situation of nine deaths and one life.

Jiang Hong saw that the enemy army was defeated, and the corners of his mouth finally couldn't help but rise, since the moment Wu Jing led the army out of the city, thanks to Jiang Hong's early focus on intelligence in Huainan, Wu Jing's intelligence has not been broken.

Jiang Hong can easily control Wu Jingjun's position at every moment, so as to formulate corresponding strategies, he has always crushed Wu Jing's existence in terms of intelligence, and he can easily find his flaws.
