There was a scream, and dozens of people fell to the ground screaming one after another. The Xiliang soldiers, who had already run away, came back with their horses and poured a rain of arrows.

"Withdraw!" Witnessing the majesty of the Xiliang soldiers, Zu Mao's face turned pale for a while, in this case, even if Sun Wu is reincarnated, there will be no chance to turn the tables. After two rounds of arrow rain, these Nanyang soldiers under Zu Mao were in chaos. In fact, in the face of large groups of cavalry, they are much stronger than those recruits who have not been on the battlefield.

"Kill!"

A thousand infantry with a low armor rate encountered a well-guarded cavalry in the wilderness, and the end was already doomed from the moment they appeared.

Thousands of blades were raised high and fell suddenly, bringing up a splash of blood. Zu Mao didn't care about these more than 1,000 foot soldiers, and fled to another brigade alone, only hoping that the infantry behind him could hold out longer, so that he could lead the other more than 2,000 troops to seize the advantageous terrain and use the grain cart to form an obstacle to defend against the impact of the cavalry, only in this way could there be a glimmer of life.

However, the sound of horses' hooves behind him made Zu Mao desperate, Xu Rong smiled coldly, and only divided more than 200 horsemen to chase and kill the already dispersed infantry, and the remaining more than 1,000 horsemen did not give Zu Mao a chance to breathe. Kill all the way.

Zu Mao only took a few horses, and before he had time to rush to the military formation, the food guards and the civilian servants of the carts were already in chaos. Zu Mao's face was bitter, defeated, he was defeated before he could engage the enemy, and he didn't know who led the army, and he didn't give him a chance to breathe when he seized the slightest opportunity, but he couldn't be blamed for this, it was impossible for three thousand Nanyang soldiers to block the charge of more than a thousand Xiliang iron cavalry in this wilderness.

……..

"General Hou, this is the **** collected by a certain adult sent by a certain adult in Qian County and Runan, please accept it with a smile!" Liu Xuanyu asked several soldiers to carry up the collected altars of bees and present them to Yuan Shu, and bowed to Yuan Shu.

"Okay, okay, I took these altars of ****. Is there any news coming back after the battle between Chen Taishou and General Dong Zhuo? Yuan Shu stroked his beard and chuckled, afraid of Dong Zhuo's revenge, he left Beijing in a hurry, and he didn't have time to bring any property, usually he likes to drink water mixed with honey, and he came to Shanyang and was busy raising food, but he didn't expect Chen Qiong to send someone to help him collect these, it was really informative and interesting, and it was not in vain that he promoted Chen Qiong as the assassin of Yuzhou and the general.

"Dong Zhuo's soldiers are strong and strong, the cavalry is especially sharp, and a certain adult has suffered a small setback, and he is now resting in Shangma County." Liu Xuanyu arched his hand and said, "I also hope that the general will be able to support the grain, grass and ordnance in time, and a certain adult will choose a day to fight with the traitors." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, since I have called for troops, I will support the grain, grass and military supplies of Chen Thorn History, and you will go back." Yuan Shu said a little impatiently, there is no need to explain these things to one of Chen Qiong's subordinates.

Liu Xuanyu knew the opportunity to retire, and before he had gone far, he saw a cavalry horse coming to report. Seeing that cavalryman's anxious expression, could it be that the battle on the front line has changed again?

In fact, as Liu Xuanyu guessed, the war in the north has indeed changed, and it is not conducive to the change of Dong Jun.

"General Hou, the front-line urgent battle report, following the defeat of Chen Xiong's army, Sun Jian's grain road was intercepted, and at present, the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Brigade are coming straight to Shanyang, and several teams that went out to collect grain and grass were attacked by the Xiliang cavalry, and suffered heavy losses!" The soldier knelt down on one knee in front of Yuan Shu and said.

"What? The Xiliang soldiers defeated Chen Qiong and intercepted Sun Jian's grain route, and even fought to Shanyang. Yuan Shu was taken aback, he couldn't help but be surprised, the reason why he can have his current status is completely due to the Yu Yin of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, in fact, there is no record that can be done, but also because of Yuan Ming's fame, Yuan Shu is much easier to raise grain and grass in Nanyang than Chen Qiong and Sun Jian, and the local rich gentry are also easier to accept.

In contrast, Chen Qiong fought several battles to quell the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou, and Sun Jian had already fought in the south and the north, pacified the Yellow Turbans, defeated the Xiliang rebels, and killed Changsha Shi Xingchuan, and the reputation of both of them was fought on the battlefield. But these two were defeated by the Xiliang soldiers in a short period of time, and now they let the Xiliang soldiers infiltrate the rear, and Yuan Shu, who was all some recruits, suddenly turned pale.

"Yes, general, the Xiliang soldiers are so good at fighting, it is better for the lord to temporarily shrink his forces and stick to Shanyang, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Xiliang soldiers, and when Chen Qiong and Sun Jian's army come back to help, the lord will lead troops to Mali to join forces and attack the Xiliang soldiers together." Yuan Shu's chief strategist Yang Hong suggested.

"Good, just follow what you say, go down, send fast horses to Sun Jian and Chen Qiong respectively, and order two troops and horses to come back." Yuan Shu was not sure of victory, so he easily followed Yang Hong's advice.

………..

Bears Ears Mountain, after nearly half a month of fierce fighting, the corpses were conveniently located at this time, because the battle was too tragic, and both sides had no energy to contain the corpses of the soldiers at this time.

The drums of war sounded, and the sunlight shone on the blood-stained armor and swords, reflecting the cold glow of the forest. The different faces of the soldiers are indifferent to life, death and war.

"Roar, roar!" The soldiers of the brigade marched to the rhythm of the war drums.

"Attack!"

A dark cloud formed by arrows in the air was thrown towards Sun Jian's army on the opposite side with the sound of a swift wind breaking through the air.

Puff puff puff.......

While the sword and shield soldiers on the opposite side raised their shields high, the archers behind them pointed their longbows diagonally at the sky, throwing a rain of arrows.

The armies of both sides were getting closer and closer to the sound of war drums, and the faces of the other could already be clearly seen.

Sun Jian watched anxiously as the two armies collided together, the grain road was intercepted, and now there was a shortage of food in the army, but it was hateful that Yuan Shu actually shrank all the soldiers and horses into Shanyang and defended the city, lest he collide with the Xiliang soldiers.

And the Xiliang soldiers on the opposite side have been chasing and beating him fiercely after cutting off his rice path, and they have not given him the slightest chance to retreat. In the case of the division of troops, Han Dang, who was in charge of the break, was quickly broken by the Xiliang soldiers, and even Han Dang almost died in the chaos, Sun Jian no longer dared to take risks, and led the army to fight and retreat.

The Xiliang soldiers made a feint for a while, and found that Sun Jian's resistance was still tenacious, but the problem of a sharp drop in morale due to lack of food had been clearly exposed.

The next day, Nanyang Zhang Zhibu surrendered troops because of the lack of food commotion, Xu Rong seized the opportunity to attack the whole army, cut off Sun Jian's back road with cavalry, and the armored men broke through head-on, fighting fiercely for half a day, breaking Sun Jian's army of nearly 20,000.

In the chaos of the army, Sun Jian only led a small number of cavalry to escape, Xu Rong personally led the elite cavalry to pursue, the entire battlefield was in chaos, and the veterans Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu around Sun Jian were all lost. fled all the way for dozens of miles, the soldiers around him had been killed and wounded, alone, not far from the opposite side of more than a dozen horsemen galloping, Sun Jian looked up to the sky and sighed for a long time.

"Lord!" The person who came turned out to be Zu Mao, who was defeated in transporting grain, and rushed all the way to Bear's Ears Mountain and met more than a dozen cavalry who were scattered by the Xiliang soldiers. immediately brought these people to look for Sun Jian, but he didn't expect to really run into them.

"Xiliang's army is large, and the red curtain on the lord's head is too eye-catching, and he has changed his clothes and armor with the last general, which is caused by a certain general's chasing soldiers." Zu Mao said urgently.

Sun Jian had tears in his eyes, exchanged armor with Zu Mao, and gave the red turban to Zu Mao, "Shuoqian and take care, I still have Shuoqian to fight the world!" ”

"The chasing soldiers are approaching, the lord is going quickly!" Zu Mao turned on his horse and galloped away with a few soldiers.

Sun Jian took several other soldiers in the opposite direction. Originally, the red turban on Sun Jian's head was very eye-catching, and in addition, in order to cover Sun Jian's safe withdrawal, Zu Mao hid without any cover-up, and was soon surrounded by the Xiliang cavalry.

"Lord, lord, Zu Mao can only help you here!" Zu Mao looked up to the sky and sighed, holding a knife in each hand, and rushed into the Xiliang army formation like a mad tiger, raising and falling with a knife in his hand, and slashing several Xiliang soldiers in a row.

The cavalry general led by a shout retreated, handed over the horse and fought with Zu Mao for a round, and the Xiliang cavalry retreated to all sides like a tide, and the bows and arrows in their hands were aimed at Zu Mao.

"Shoot!" The general rubbed his numb hand and ordered with a sinister smile.

"Hahaha..... Xiliang Army is nothing more than that, there are no brave bandits, my soldiers will be killed sooner or later!" In the face of this locust-like arrow, Zu Mao raised his head and laughed, gave up resistance, manpower was free, in the face of the arrows shot from all directions, there was no way to resist, in a moment, Zu Mao inserted more than a dozen arrows on his body, and the corpse fell from his horse.

General Pi stepped forward, cut off Zu Mao's head with a knife, and led the cavalry to the ground, continuing to pursue and kill the defeated Sun Jian's troops.
