Chapter 290: Falling short
"Yuan Fu, keep up, don't get lost!"
The skill of capturing the thief and capturing the king was activated, and the pressure in front of Wang Chong suddenly lightened, but this thing did not disappear out of thin air, but only some enemy soldiers subconsciously shifted the focus of the attack to other places, but in this way, others will have to bear greater pressure than the original, and the first to bear the brunt is undoubtedly the personal guard behind Wang Chong.
Tai Shi Xiang is the only son of Tai Shi Ci, although the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, life and death have their own destiny, Tai Shi Ci should have been aware of this, but Wang Chong, as the lord, if possible, naturally do not allow such a human tragedy as a white-haired person sending a black-haired person under his command.
The tiger-headed black golden spear shot out like a poisonous dragon drill, and with a wave of Wang Chong's left and right, the Jiangdong soldiers in front of him were shaken aside by the huge force, thus vacating a narrow passage.
Wang Chong drove his horse in, and Tai Shixiang and other personal guards quickly followed, clearing out the surrounding enemy soldiers for him.
The distance between Wang Chong and Lu Meng is not far, at best, it is only twenty or thirty steps, about fifty meters, with the speed of the white cloud horse, if there is no obstacle in the middle, it only takes a few seconds to kill the front, at this moment the pressure from the surrounding area is greatly reduced, Wang Chong's travel speed is much faster than before, in just a few breaths, he has rushed out of more than ten meters.
At this time, Lu Meng also realized that Wang Chong was beating his own idea, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, after all, Wang Chong's reputation for bravery, he had already heard like thunder.
But Lu Meng knew that he couldn't retreat, because he was the backbone of this army, once he showed even a little timidity. This army, which has long been crumbling under the impact of the Jinfan Iron Cavalry, is very likely to collapse on all fronts.
"Crossbowman, release the arrows! Just shoot Wang Chong and the thief. In this battle, I will be able to win a big victory!! β
While Lu Meng gave the order, he loudly boosted his morale, and in an instant, the rain of arrows in the sky once again enveloped Wang Chong.
But this time, Wang Chong had already taken precautions.
A gun picked up a shield from the ground, Wang Chong held a shield in his left hand to block the rain of arrows, and in his right hand he carried a gun to continue to fight.
Enchanting blood flowers bloom. Wang Chong broke into the enemy formation alone, and the spears danced, constantly depriving the Jiangdong soldiers of their lives. Even a strong shield can't stop the sharpness of the spear.
The movements of the Jiangdong crossbowmen were forced to stop, because Wang Chong was surrounded by their own people, and they accidentally injured a large number of people in order to shoot a Wang Chong. Young Lu Meng is not so hard-hearted.
The other side. Tai Shi Ci was also leading the army to rush in the direction of Lu Meng, and since most of the firepower in Jiangdong was concentrated on Wang Chong's side, Tai Shi Ci's marching speed was even faster than that of Wang Chong, who activated the skill of capturing thieves and capturing kings.
A row of dense cold sweat oozed from Lu Meng's forehead, and Jinfan's two fierce tigers went hand in hand, causing him great psychological pressure, thinking why are you running for me one by one, you also think too highly of me, right?
Good thing it's not far away. The shouting of Jiangdong's main force is getting closer and closer, and it will last another minute or two at most. His mission was complete.
However, this newly formed Jinfan cavalry is surprisingly strong, can they really hold out for a minute or two? Lu Meng didn't know that all he could do was do his best.
Rumble!
Under the cover of Zhang Quan, Tai Shici, who had resisted a rain of arrows, blasted away the last sword and shield soldier who was blocking in front of him, and what was waiting for them had become a group of crossbowmen with a defense as thin as a lamb.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Meng hurriedly dispatched a group of sword and shield soldiers from the other end, but unfortunately the formation was chaotic, and the top and bottom of the brocade sail were like a male lion breaking free from thorns and rushing into the vast grassland, and he was spreading joy and hunting, how could a group of sword and shield soldiers be able to stop it?
"It's over!" Lu Meng's face turned pale, Tai Shi Ci was leading the cavalry under his command to charge frantically, and the sword and shield soldiers who were transferred over had not time to set up their positions, and they were torn apart by the terrible impact.
On the other side, Wang Chong, who was under great pressure, also went on the offensive, and the defense line was losing and retreating, and he was about to lose his breath......
"Kill !!"
At this critical moment, Zhou Yu finally led the troops belatedly, Wang Chong's face changed, and there was a strong unwillingness in his heart, because between him and Lu Meng, there were only more than ten steps left, as long as he was given another half a minute, he would definitely be able to capture Lu Meng in one fell swoop.
However, Zhou Yu's army was about to touch the tail of the cavalry, and it was impossible for Wang Chong to sacrifice more soldiers for the sake of one LΓΌ Meng.
"That's it, I'll let you go for now, anyway, your ship has been burned, and when my Jinfan army arrives, see where you can hide!"
Wang Chong thought about it, first glanced at Lu Meng coldly, then turned his horse's head and shouted: "Withdraw!! β
With Wang Chong's order, the Jinfan cavalry quickly gathered into a torrent and galloped forward.
Under the addition of the 'Walk for Top' skill, Zhou Yu's army could only watch the Jinfan cavalry go away and eat the dust they raised, but there was nothing they could do.
Lu Meng took a long breath, and his highly tense spirit suddenly relaxed, which suddenly made his eyes darken, and he almost fainted.
It was only at this time that Lu Meng was surprised to find that his body had already been salvaged from the river, and he had collapsed without the slightest strength.
The scene just now was too dangerous, whether it was Wang Chong or Tai Shici, there was only one step away from his location, if Zhou Yu's army was a second late, maybe his life would have to be explained directly here.
"Did they run away even like this?" Zhou Yu's fists were clenched, his knuckles were pinched white, he tried his best to come up with this plan today, he thought that Wang Chong would inevitably be in a catastrophe, but what was waiting for them was still a failure.
In fact, Zhou Yu is really only one step away from succeeding, if Wang Chong doesn't have the golden finger of the 'thirty-six plan system'.
"Governor, the last general will be humiliated by the mission, please punish the governor!" Lu Meng came to Zhou Yu dejectedly, knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Zhou Yu looked at the bloody corpses all over the place, and could vaguely guess how cruel and fierce this battle was, so he shook his head lightly: "Ziming has tried his best, it's only to blame that Wang Chong's life is too hard, this is not a crime of war!" β
The subordinate general Deng Dang (Lu Meng's brother-in-law) asked with a solemn expression: "Dudu, what should we do next?" β
Zhou Yu was silent for a moment and sighed, "What else can I do?" Let's go, go south first to relieve the siege of Wucheng, and then go back to Wu County to compete with Jinfan, if we continue to delay here, when Jinfan's army arrives, we just want to go and can't leave! (To be continued.) )
