The crossbow arrows on the ship were still firing non-stop, but there was no counterattack on the shore, and the soldiers of Zang Bajun were eager to bury their entire bodies in the earth to avoid the endless stream of crossbow arrows. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Big brother, withdraw, if you continue like this, the brothers will all be gone!" Chang Feng grabbed Zang Ba's arm tightly and wailed.

In order to facilitate the blockade of the river, the section they chose was only a few dozen zhang wide, but now it has become their ghost gate. Such a close distance, such a powerful and continuous launch of crossbow arrows, coupled with the dense formation of Zang Ba's sergeants, directly turned the ambush they prepared into a gluttonous feast for the other party to harvest their lives.

"Withdraw!" Zang Ba gritted his teeth and said, his tone was full of unwillingness and resentment, he knew that it would not work if he didn't withdraw at this time, here except for waiting for death, there was no second result, and it was even a question of whether he could withdraw.

As long as the soldiers in Zang Ba's army could still move, they all took advantage of the cover of the mountains and forests to crawl back and retreat.

"Stop shooting!"

On a big boat in the river, Liu Miao ordered.

Hua Mulan first conveyed the order, and then said unsatisfactorily: "So it's gone?" I've only finished one round! ”

"The other party has withdrawn, there is no need to waste arrows, and some soup must be left for Wen Yuan!" Liu Miao glanced at the other Yuanrong crossbow behind the soldier and said with a smile.

In fact, the fact that the other party was able to hold out until they finished shooting a round before starting to retreat had already impressed Liu Miao.

The crossbow bolts stopped, and the river seemed to be quieter all of a sudden, but the figures fleeing in the forest, the messy grass and trees on the riverbank, and the mixed moaning sounds, all showed the fierce battle that had just taken place.

"They're all cleaned up and then landed." Liu Miao's gaze swept across the chaotic water surface and looked at the looming figure in the mountains and forests on the riverbank.

Everywhere Liu Miao's gaze could be seen, Zang Ba also turned his head to take one last look at the crossbow machine that might give him nightmares, not knowing whether he wanted to remember the appearance of this Yuan Rong crossbow, or wanted to know how many arrows this crossbow machine could shoot in a row.

"Big brother, where are we going?" Chang Feng was also lucky to escape with Zang Ba, and he didn't even have a little bruise.

"Go to Xiaxiangcheng, wait for Sun Guan and them to evacuate together." Zang Ba's tone was low, he never expected that he would end up in such a fiasco, although the number of people had not been counted, it was estimated that half of them would be good if they could escape.

Sun Guan and Wu Dun did not join them, but took half of their soldiers to ambush on the other side of the river, because the ships were equipped with Yuan Rong crossbows on both sides, Sun Guan and Wu Dun's troops were also attacked.

"I don't know how Sun Guan and Wu Dun are doing over there." Chang Feng said in frustration.

"What else, Liu Miaojun has already prepared-" Zang Ba was talking, but he saw Chang Xuan staring blankly at the other side of the river.

He also turned his head to look, and was greeted by billowing smoke and dust, and faintly heard the dull sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing.

"It's cavalry!" Zang Ba exclaimed, "Quick, let's go to Xiaxiang City!" ”

"But Sun Guan them—"

"They're finished, I can't take care of them!" Zang Ba's tone was even more depressed, he reluctantly mentioned the last of his heart, and shouted: "Rush to Xia Xiangcheng at full speed!" ”

Their guess was right, the smoke and dust on the opposite bank was provoked by the cavalry, and on the west bank of Surabaya, Zhang Liao was leading a thousand cavalry to pursue Sun Guan and Wu Dun's headquarters at full speed.

The situation of the battle with Zang Bajun was completely expected by Liu Miao, and it could even be said that it was developing according to the script he wrote. All thanks to accurate and timely intelligence, Liu Miao had already sent Jinyiwei to closely monitor the whereabouts of Tao Qianjun and Zang Bajun, as long as they made the slightest move, the system intelligence column would be displayed immediately, and there was no need for Jinyiwei to come back to report, so there was no time lag in the intelligence at all.

This is the strength of the system assistance, of course, it is also impossible for Zang Ba to imagine. Zang Ba led the troops to sneak all the way, hiding their tracks, marching extremely fast, and there were also special scouts to clean up witnesses. Generally speaking, even if an enemy scout detects the message, it may not be able to transmit the message back in time. What's more, even if Zang Ba did not succeed in the ambush, he could still complete the task assigned to him by Tao Qian, his task was to cut off Liu Miao's grain transportation channel, strike at the grain transportation fleet, attract the main force of Liu Miao's army, and create an opportunity for Tao Qian to attack Xiapi.

How did Zang Ba know that in order to obtain greater results, he chose to ambush, but he stabbed a hornet's nest, and the task was not completed, not to mention, but he made himself full of bags.

To get back to the point, after Liu Miao learned the direction of Zang Ba's march from the system, he guessed that he would come to intercept the grain. So Liu Miao secretly sent a message to Zhang Liao, asking him to gather 3,000 grain guards, and Liu Miao transformed them into 2,000 Yuan Rong crossbowmen and 1,000 Yiding cavalry. He placed all the Yuan Rong crossbowmen on the grain carrier, and let Zhang Liao hang far behind the fleet with the Yiding Tucai, no matter what means Zang Ba adopted, there was a way to deal with it.

【Soldier (Yiding Tucai)

Affiliation: Liu Miao

Loyalty: 100

Force: 55

Class Trait: Assault (Good at Storming.) While maintaining a frontal charge in formation, the soldier's stamina cost is halved and his overall attack power is increased by an additional 5%. If the assault is successful, the enemy's morale will be reduced by 10%)]

Liu Miao deduced several scripts, and the current situation turned out to be the most likely one he expected.

When Liu Miao led his troops to dock all the ships, Zhang Liao also came to hand in the task.

After Sun Guan and Wu Dun's troops experienced the blow on the riverbank, they were already frightened, so in front of the powerful Yiding Turquoise cavalry, they had no power to fight back at all, and they were foot soldiers, and the little short legs couldn't run away if they wanted to, and finally after Zhang Liao's assault, they all chose to be captured.

Capturing more than 800 enemy soldiers and capturing alive two main generals, Sun Guan and Wu Dun, this is the result of Zhang Liao's battle.

Liu Miao did not meet with the captives, but only ordered Zhang Liao to transport the captives across the river by boat, and then Liu Miao took all the generals and prisoners to march slowly to Xiangcheng.

At this time, Zang Ba had just come to Xiaxiang City with Chang Feng and more than a thousand remnants.

Yin Li, who stayed behind, couldn't believe his eyes, Chang Feng shouted a few times before he came out and welcomed Zang Ba and the others in.

When he went out, there were more than 4,000 soldiers, but when he came back, only a quarter was left, and even Sun Guan and Wu Dun, the two main generals, were nowhere to be found.

When Yin Li asked, Zang Ba didn't say a word, and Chang Feng also shook his head vigorously.

After resting in the city for a long time, Zang Ba and Chang Feng recovered their strength, and then Yin Li also knew what had happened.

"Big brother, let's go back to Xuzhou quickly!" After Yin Li learned about the battle, he felt that it was safer to go back.

"Can you get back?" Zang Ba sighed, "The other party has cavalry, and it is more than 100 miles back to the nearest city, do you think we can outrun the pursuit of the cavalry?" It's safer to defend the city here. From now on, the whole city is under martial law, and the two of you will first go and put in order the soldiers and horses, and if possible, recruit some soldiers in the city, and collect grain and grass. I estimate that the enemy soldiers are no more than 3,000, and it will not be so easy to take this city! ”

Yin Li and Chang Feng glanced at each other, nodded their heads, and were about to go out to make arrangements, when they saw a herald break in.

"Report! Found hundreds of cavalry, less than ten miles away from Xiaxiang City! ”

"It's coming so fast!" Zang Ba and the other three looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
