It was dawn, and the eastern horizon was white. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Yijun finally broke away from the battlefield, and the remnants of all the troops converged in one place, and the total was only a little more than 40,000.
Although they have left the battlefield, it does not mean that they can escape from the pursuit of the enemy safely.
In addition to the Jiangdong army, Cao Cao and Yan Liang's armies were already in hot pursuit, and their intention to eliminate Shen Yi's remnants in one fell swoop was very obvious, and they would definitely not give Shen Yi a chance to breathe.
And the Jiangdong army withdrew after leaving the battlefield, Sun Ce died, which was a great blow to the Jiangdong army, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others discussed, decided to withdraw the troops back to Jiangdong first, and then find a chance to take revenge.
Shen Yi's coma also made Shen Yijun lose his backbone, Hua Mulan stood up and picked up the burden of the commander, and the whole army fought and retreated under her command, until it retreated to Shilipo in the east of Chang'an, and Mulan ordered the troops to stop.
"General Zhao, General Zhang."
Hua Mulan called Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao over.
"You take the general to retreat into Chang'an to build a city defense first, and I will lead the troops to snipe the enemy here."
has been chased by the coalition forces, more than 40,000 people are impossible to safely withdraw into the city from the small city gate, or it will be directly broken by the enemy, Hua Mulan realized the danger, so she decided to block the coalition forces on the spot at Shilipo, and won time for Shen Yi to return to Chang'an safely.
In fact, Mulan's idea is very naΓ―ve, even if Shen Yi returns to Chang'an, what can she do, Chang'an has no backup except for thousands of city guards, how long can she stop the enemy? This war has been lost, Shen Yijun is over, and no one is powerless to recover.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao obeyed Mulan's orders and took 10,000 troops to protect the unconscious Shen Yi and retreated to Chang'an first.
Hua Mulan looked at the departing Shen Yi, she smiled, maybe this was the last time to stare, at least when she died, she knew that he was still alive, and that was enough.
Shilipo, this is Shen Yijun's last struggle.
"Kill."
Mulan turned her horse's head, and the whole army also turned around and rushed towards the trailing enemy.
Shen Yi in a coma seemed to have a dream, dreaming that Hua Mulan, who was covered in blood, was standing beside him, and under a spirit, Shen Yi woke up, and at this time he had been taken by Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao into the gate of Chang'an.
"What's going on?"
Shen Yi suddenly jumped up from the carriage.
"Lord ......"
Seeing Shen Yi wake up, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were ecstatic.
"Lord, you finally woke up, you have been in a coma all night."
Shen Yi patted his head, and finally remembered last night, fortunately, he only pulled half of the Houyi bow, otherwise he really didn't know how long he would have been unconscious.
"What about Mulan, what about the others?"
"Madame took the main force to block the enemy army at Shilipo, and asked me to bring the lord back first."
The two replied.
"Ten mile slope!"
Shen Yi immediately jumped out of the carriage, turned over and jumped onto the Feiyun Horse.
"Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao listen to the order, I order you to return immediately to support Shilipo and wait for my reinforcements."
"Reinforcements?"
Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were stunned, in addition to thousands of city guards in Chang'an City, where are there reinforcements?
Shen Yi said: "Time is pressing, it's too late to elaborate, in short, you must hold on until my reinforcements arrive." β
After Shen Yi finished speaking, he beat his horse and left, heading in a direction outside Chang'an City.
The bloody battle of Shilipo was extremely tragic, and the soldiers of the Zhongzhi Army had already held the heart of death, and they would definitely lose this war, and no one could recover it.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao returned with their troops and were immediately drowned in the sea of enemy troops. Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao immediately threw out the tactics, the tactics of the two of them were very powerful, and they intended to use the blessing of the tactics to converge with the main force of Mulan.
"Shake it!"
Cheng Yu threw out the magic circle at Zhang Liao, shaking the army's heart magic array, which can reduce the enemy's attack and morale, and shake the opponent's army's heart.
"See what I'm up to!"
Xi Zhicai also threw out a magic circle at Zhao Yun, strategically and horizontally, reducing the enemy's attack, defense, and maneuvering, and attacking the seal.
This kind of hard-fought battle, relying on the domination and tactics of both sides, the coalition army has many generals, and the tactics are non-stop, Hua Mulan was sealed by Guo Jia after releasing a "seamless", and after the only group gain tactics were sealed, Shen Yijun fell into a desperate situation.
"Appreciate the profundity of my Cao Mengde's use of soldiers!"
Cao Cao unleashed the group tactics of brave command, because the troops were too large to be completely covered, but after several main forces were blessed by bravery, their combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and they gradually narrowed the encirclement of Mulan's main force.
Under the blows of various tactics, Shen Yijun was on the verge of collapse. The troops suffered heavy casualties.
Cao Cao knew very well that this was Shen Yi's last army, and if he was defeated, Chang'an would be a flat river.
In the center of the battlefield, Hua Mulan was covered in blood, and as soon as she cut down an enemy soldier, she heard a loud shout from behind, turned around suddenly, and saw Xu Chu waving a big knife and slashing down, so she hurriedly lowered her head to dodge, and with a knife down, she cut off her helmet and her long hair was scattered.
"Madame......"
Xu Huang hurriedly rode his horse to resist Xu Chu, Xu Chu shouted, the tiger roared in the crowd, the surrounding soldiers were shaken away, Xu Huang raised his knife in response, only to hear a roar, Xu Huang flew out upside down and smashed into the crowd. His strength is simply not able to resist the power of rage.
Hua Mulan rushed up desperately, but Scar grabbed the reins of the horse and dragged her back desperately, "Madam, we are defeated, break through with me." β
How easy is it to break through? Without Shen Yizai, the Zhongzhi Army could not get the "perseverance" and "dead soldier" buffs, and its combat effectiveness was discounted, but it was only supported by the soul of the soldiers. It is also a loss to have the soul of the soldier, otherwise the morale would have collapsed under the impact of the tiger and leopard cavalry.
At this moment, Zhao Yun was also under siege, and he saw from afar that Mulan was in great danger, and his heart was anxious. Although Shen Yi didn't say it explicitly, he knew very well that the lord entrusted his wife to him, and he would fight to the death to keep his wife safe.
"The spear is an oath, and the white bird is the phoenix."
Zhao Yun gritted his teeth, the spear turned, and a hundred spear shadows spun out, bursting out. Cao Bing, who was standing in front of him, screamed and fell.
Zhao Yun suddenly grabbed the horse's belly and rushed towards Mulan.
In the midst of the army, Zhao Yun broke away from his own troops, single-handedly, a silver spear stabbed left and right, the spear was pointed, and the person turned on his back.
"Death to those who stand in my way!"
Zhao Yun had already gone berserk, Li Dian saw it, came up to block, but was stabbed in the shoulder by Zhao Yun with a shot, and flew into the crowd, and a group of soldiers hurriedly rescued Li Dian.
Zhao Yun didn't care who was in front of him, he would kill anyone when he saw it, even a cattle man of Xiahou Dun's level was shocked back by a single shot.
"Zhao Zilong is really a brave general, it's a pity! Pity! β
Looking at the white shadow of the army as if it had entered a no-man's land, Cao Cao sighed again and again.
Xu Chu here also didn't care about it, and was bent on killing Mulan. Countless Wills surged up, but they couldn't stop him.
Seeing that he was about to kill Mulan, a white shadow finally swept over.
The jade lion jumped into the air, stepped over the crowd of several meters, and stabbed at Xu Chu from top to bottom.
Xu Chu hurriedly put away his knife to resist, and this shot turned out to be seven shots, which made Xu Chu embarrassed and took a few steps back.
"Zhao Yun, Shen Yi has been defeated, you still surrender to my lord, right?"
Zhao Yun fell to the ground, Le Ma turned around, and the silver spear pointed at Xu Chu.
"Do you mean treachery?"
