After waiting for so many days, Kuai Yue and Liu Pan couldn't sit still.

The reason why they want to survive is that they hope that Wang Xu will not be able to bear his temperament, and then attack Exian, so as to force the soldiers to fight with their backs and put them to death and come back to life. But Wang Xu is not stupid, anyway, the loss is big enough, and he doesn't care about losing more.

In the past two days, more and more deserters have begun to appear on the other side, and Wang Xu ignored these deserters, and even specially let them leave. This is undoubtedly a very big stimulus to the guards in the city, who is willing to wait for death inside if there is a way to live.

It can be said that this is a very cunning tactic, the opponent does not retreat, and it is consumed like this until the opponent's entire army completely collapses. If you retreat, you can also pursue all the way, set up ambushes on the way, and even when the other party boarded the ship and retreated, it pounced fiercely, causing a large number of casualties. And of the two, Kuai Yue and Liu Pan obviously chose the latter, and in doing so, at least as much as they could escape, it was more cost-effective than the soldiers scattering and collapsing.

In fact, this is exactly what Wang Xu wants, Jingnan can't withstand continuous attrition, and it is imperative to achieve a quick victory, restore stability and development.

Not long after the opponent's army left the city, Zhao Yun led the Yanyun Iron Cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers of his headquarters as the vanguard and took the lead in pursuing. After Wang Xu gathered the main force of 7,000 people, he also quickly followed.

At this moment, Liu Biao's army did not have the slightest will to fight, and the soldiers were tired and timid, and they all wanted to retreat to Jiangbei as soon as possible, and they were not opponents at all.

Although Liu Pan and Kuai Yue brought many good generals, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Ping and others personally led their troops to the rear and fought and retreated, but they could not stop the morale of the Jingnan army at all. It's not so much a battle as a hunt. Jing Nan, as a hunter, wanted to kill more even if he broke his head, while the enemy, as a prey, was doing his best to reduce casualties and flee quickly.

On the road from Shaxian to Exian, there were corpses scattered everywhere, and dark red blood abounded. It has become a veritable blood road.

Half a day later. The retreating Liu Biaojun was already in chaos, and after the battle was broken, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan and other generals could not suppress the pursuit speed of Jingnan, and the troops behind the guide were getting closer and closer to the troops fleeing in front, and many people took advantage of the situation to break away from their own team and flee in all directions.

This was also expected by Wang Xu, who immediately restrained the soldiers from ignoring the scattered deserters. Just pursue the enemy's retreating main forces.

At this moment, Liu Pan, who was at the forefront, finally barely managed to control the front after angrily beheading several soldiers who intended to flee from the team alone. Returning to the side of the Chinese army's chariot, he said to Kuai Yue a little tiredly: "Military Division, go on like this." I don't know if I can stick to Exian! ”

Kuai Yue's face was also very ugly, he did everything he could, and Zhou Zhi, who didn't count the right side, dared to "run thousands of miles". This directly induced the reversal of the entire battle situation, and in the face of Liu Pan's inquiry, he had nothing to do, and he pondered for a long time before sighing bitterly: "There is no way, I can only restrain the soldiers as much as possible." Go as much as you can! The rest doesn't work. No one expected that the shape would change so quickly, and it would not even be too late to mobilize the retreating ships. The left and right roads have also been reversed successively, and there are really a lot of capable people in Jingnan! ”

"Hey! It's infuriating that this attack has been in the works for so long, and that it has ended like this. Liu Pan also sighed.

Hearing this, Kuai Yue was silent for a moment before shaking his head helplessly: "Forget it, the big mistake has been made, and there is no point in saying too much." After all, we still underestimated the enemy, this retreat, the casualties of my three-way soldiers and horses are probably not small, and we can withdraw as much as we can! ”

Liu Pan was suddenly shocked and exclaimed: "The intention of the military division, but it is said that the main force on the left side cannot retreat safely?" ”

Kuai Yue smiled bitterly: "Retreat peacefully? Is it possible? That Guo Jia is not very old, but he is definitely not very human. He hasn't made any moves yet, obviously he has some plan, but I still haven't figured out what he's going to do. I only hope that Cai Mao and my brother can see through it as much as possible and let the main army withdraw to Jingbei. Otherwise, this time, the loss of my Jingbei will far exceed that of Jingnan, even if Jingnan is unable to make a northern expedition in a short period of time, our strength will be greatly weakened, and we will not be able to recover our vitality in a short time. Hey......"

Saying that, Kuai Yue shook his head with a sigh, but he didn't want to say more about it, and asked instead: "By the way, did the Pheasant Huangzu start to retreat?" ”

"His son Huang Jie came to report just now and has begun to retreat, but he was also pursued by Xu Huang." Liu Pan nodded.

These are all in Kuai Yue's calculations, and there is no big reaction after listening to it, and he was silent for a moment before he slowly continued: "Then let Wei Yan and Wang Wei both lead their troops to the front, get ready, there will definitely be an ambush ahead." Let the two of them be sure to block as much as possible and strive for more soldiers to retreat. ”

"Hmmm! Good ......"

The fierce pursuit continued, Wang Xu took the lead and personally organized the soldiers to advance in front of the battle, while Dian Wei closely guarded his side and guarded his safety.

As more and more Sergeant Liu Biao fell on the way to retreat, time passed quickly, the sun on the horizon gradually set on the mountain, and the sky darkened.

However, this could not shake the will of Jing Nan's soldiers, this was the last battle, and it was also the easiest battle to fight, whether it was promotion and wealth, meritorious service, revenge or hatred, all in this battle.

Seeing that it was about to fall into the night, Wang Xu, who was riding his horse, couldn't help shouting at Dian Wei beside him: "Dian Wei, don't protect me, take the guards to assist Zhao Yun, there is not much time for us, such results are not enough, we must continue to advance." ”

"No!" Dian Wei did not hesitate, received the order, roared, and led the guards around him to cross the crowd, speeding up and rushing to the front.

Seeing this, Wang Xu checked the situation around him, but secretly wondered in his heart: It's almost the same, why hasn't Lai Gong shown up yet?

Just as he was thinking, a drum suddenly sounded in the distance, and then he heard an overwhelming shout of killing, which could be vaguely discerned from the mountain forest in front of the left, and moved towards the front at a very fast speed.

After a while, Liu Biao's army in front began to stir, and the number of fleeing soldiers gradually increased. Zhao Yun, Zhou Zhi, and Dian Wei did not hesitate, and immediately strengthened the offensive and quickly rushed forward.

Although Kuai Yue and the others had already prepared, Wei Yan and Wang Wei met Lai Gong's ambush force as soon as possible, but now under the form, it was impossible to completely stop it, and more people began to disperse. It's just that Liu Pan and Kuai Yue can't manage so much, so they can only take the most elite core troops and retreat quickly towards Exian, and they can save as much as they can.

And at the same time. Far away on the road from the pheasant to Exian. The same situation was also being staged, Xu Huang and Tian Feng did not give Huang Zu any chance, and rushed all the way to Exian.

It's a race of life and death, from day to night, never stopping. It's just that as the distance from Exian County gets closer and closer. The Jingnan soldiers who pursued hundreds of miles were obviously a little lacking, not because Liu Biao's soldiers were more elite, but because the other party was fleeing for his life, of course, he could break out abnormally, and the motivation of the Jingnan soldiers was obviously not so strong.

See this scenario. Wang Xu didn't care so much, he personally rushed to the forefront, loudly encouraged the soldiers, and promised that the reward for this battle merit would be doubled. Anyway, it is also the last time, as long as it can hurt Liu Biao and eliminate his living force to the greatest extent, it will be worth it.

This made the soldiers' feelings high again. They all shouted Wang Xu's promise. Spread throughout the army. For a while, the soldiers who broke out for the second time became fierce again. Strive to recover Sergeant Liu Biao.

"General Huang! If you can't stand it, you can retreat first! Wen Ping looked at the Jing Nan soldiers who rushed like crazy, only to feel physically and mentally exhausted, and turned his head and yelled at Huang Zhong, who was also behind him.

Huang Zhongzheng tried his best to suppress the formation, urging the soldiers to fight and retreat, hearing this, he couldn't help but glance at the Jingnan soldiers in front of him worriedly, but he did not obey the order. Because he knew that if Jing Nan continued to pursue, when he arrived at the port north of Exian, he would cause great damage to his side.

At that time, the soldiers who were expected to escape, under the threat of the Jingnan army behind them, must have rushed to board the ship and compete with each other, causing even greater chaos.

It's just that it is extremely difficult to keep the soldiers from breaking up in large numbers during the retreat, let alone blocking the enemy's footsteps? That's simply not possible.

Just when Huang Zhong was trying his best to stop it, but he was anxious in his heart, by the moonlight in the sky, he suddenly noticed a figure.

In an instant, Huang Zhong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't suppress an idea, and looked at the quiver hanging on the side of the horse.

There was only one last arrow left, a golden one.

In fact, Huang Zhong had three of these golden arrows, and they were specially made, and when he was a child, his master had told him that when his archery skills reached the point where he could shoot a leaf from a hundred paces away, he should prepare such three arrows. The first two are used to kill extremely difficult enemies, while the last one is used to save lives.

Because of the structure of these three arrows, it was just enough to complete his last two archery skills. On the way to retreat before, he had already used the first two arrows, one arrow to shoot Zhao Yun, but because the other party was also paying attention to him, he dodged sideways in an instant and penetrated into the chest of a soldier in the rear.

The second arrow shot Zhou Zhi, but Zhou Zhi was even smarter, and the moment he saw him pick up the bow and arrow, he didn't even think about whether he could get out of the way, and jumped off the horse directly and successfully dodged.

However, now that it is dark, the vision is not as good as during the day, Wang Xu didn't find him at all, and the distance is just about 100 steps, for Huang Zhong, it is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And this last life-saving arrow can be said to be the essence of Huang Zhong's archery, which is difficult to avoid, let alone a hidden arrow.

After a while, Huang Zhong made up his mind, although he had always disdained to release dark arrows like this, but now in order for the army to retreat safely, he couldn't care so much. I saw that he waved his hand to insert the phoenix mouth knife to the side, and he had already taken the sunset bow from his back, and the index finger and middle finger of his right hand picked up the last golden arrow as fast as lightning and put it on the bowstring, and the whole process was like flowing clouds and water, which was very smooth.

At this time, although Wang Xu was faintly uncomfortable in his heart and felt that something was not right, in this noisy and chaotic battlefield, he didn't care about thinking so much, and shouted to encourage the soldiers to advance.

The bow pulled the full moon, and the golden arrows added a touch of coldness in the shining moonlight, and Huang Zhong's right hand also held the tail of the arrow in a strange posture. As he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled all the turbid breath in his chest, his hand finally moved. I couldn't even see the slight change clearly, the bowstring was already shaking violently, and the golden arrow cut out a ghostly light, shooting straight at Wang Xu who was a hundred steps away.

And just before his arrow left the string, Wang Xu already had a premonition of a threat, this is just an intuition, people who fight all year round will have it, because they are often in danger, which will make people particularly sensitive to this threat.

When he saw the arrows flying out of the string and flashing with ghostly light, he didn't have to think about anything at all, as if he knew that it was too late to pull away, and his body flashed to the side by inertia.

"Phew!"

The arrow still hit. Although Wang Xu reacted quickly. The martial arts are also extremely strong, but after all, it was discovered too late, and he could only avoid the vital points of the viscera in that short period of time. The golden arrow, with great force, directly pierced through the armor and shot into the body.

"Ahh Wang Xu snorted and fell off the horse.

This scene was also seen by the soldiers around him. In an instant, the entire army was in an uproar. "General!"

"The general has been shot!"

"Protect the General!"

The soldiers around immediately shouted and surrounded them, and the high voice soon spread all around, and the soldiers shouted in panic. Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and Zhou Zhi, who were fighting fiercely, turned their heads and were shocked to see the situation here. He didn't care about continuing to kill the enemy, so he quickly rode his horse and rushed over.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xu, who fell to the ground, was suddenly in a hurry. yelled: "Leave me alone, rush me!" Rush! ”

"Boss! What's wrong? Where are you? Zhou Zhi was relatively close, so he rushed in as soon as possible, and his nervousness was beyond words.

Hearing this, Wang Xu was impatient, his forehead was exposed, and he shouted: "Zhou Zhi, leave me alone." Rush! Can't mess around......"

Meanwhile. Huang Zhong also reacted after being stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Wang Xu is dead. Don't panic, fight and retreat! ”

As he spoke, he rushed back with his cronies, hoping to repel Jing Nan's soldiers when they were panicking. Wen Ping over there was not stupid, noticed this situation, and immediately yelled and led the troops to break into formation.

In fact, Huang Zhong was most surprised at the moment, in his heart, he never thought that Wang Xu could dodge that dark arrow, but he didn't expect to be avoided by it. This had a great impact in his heart, for a long time, although it was rumored that Wang Xu was both civil and military, but in fact, many people did not think of his martial arts, and only felt that he was a general who was very good at using soldiers. But at this moment, Huang Zhong knew very well that if he couldn't avoid the deadly arrow he had just now, it would be impossible if he wasn't an absolute master.

Thinking of this, he was even more palpitating, and secretly thought: "This son must not stay, the lord should not be his opponent, when the time comes, Jingbei will have no one to stop his army." ”

Huang Zhong's character is also to do what he thinks, when he leads the army to rush towards Wang Xu's place, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to kill.

However, Wang Xu's prestige in Jingnan and the beloved Cheng dù were unmatched, although he was shot and fell from his horse, and the army that led the pursuit was instantly chaotic, and was defeated by the enemy army in a sudden formation. But I was heavily protected by countless loyal soldiers, and quickly withdrew to the rear.

Lai Gong, who was farther away, discovered the situation here, but he couldn't quench his thirst from far away, so he could only continue to put pressure on the left front.

Although the arrow was not fatal, Wang Xu could feel it, but it still caused great damage to his body, and he knew that he was powerless to continue to fight. Immediately, while he was still sober, he suddenly shouted: "Zilong! Zilong! ”

"My lord! The end will be here. Zhao Yun, who was guarding Wang Xu's retreat, hurriedly responded.

"Zilong, listen to my orders, leave me alone! Keep pushing forward, I'm fine! ”

"My lord! This ......"

"It's an order!" Wang Xu endured the pain and dizziness and dared, and shouted loudly.

"No!"

Zhao Yun glanced at it worriedly, but didn't say much, and with a wave of the spear, he shouted loudly: "The lord is fine!" Everybody rush with me. At the same time as he roared, he was already the first to charge with the Yanyun Iron Cavalry of the headquarters and lead the soldiers.

Seeing this, Wang Xu turned around and said to Zhou Zhi, who was guarding the guards with a calm face and did not speak: "Zhou Zhi, you go to assist Zhao Yun, you must not be chaotic, you must pursue until the enemy crosses the river, and then it will all be handed over to you, and you must assist Zhao Yun to break the enemy." If possible, try to assist Xu Huang to stop Huang Zu who retreated to Exian County. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang Xu, his bloodstained face showed a trace of worry, but then he nodded firmly. "Good!"

As Zhou Zhi left with hatred, Wang Xu turned his head to look at Dian Wei with a hideous face, and shouted: "Dian Wei, you also take the guards to help!" ”

"Lord ......"

"Don't say more, it's useless for you to follow me back, it's enough for me to have so many brothers to protect me, go quickly!" Wang Xu struggled to raise his hand.

Seeing that he hesitated and did not move, he immediately roared angrily: "Go quickly!" ”

Hearing this, Dian Wei was helpless, waved his halberd, and re-mounted his war horse, shouting and leading the guards to leave quickly.

Seeing this, Wang Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, and smiled at the soldiers around him who were guarding his evacuation: "Brothers, help me roar, just yell at me that I'm fine, just lightly injured, so that everyone can fight with peace of mind, who will help me avenge this arrow, reward 10,000 dollars, and make a loud voice." ”

"Hmm!" The soldier carrying Wang Xu nodded suddenly, and the soldiers around him also heard it, glanced at each other, and shouted at the top of their voices.

"Brothers, the general is only slightly injured, whoever avenges the general for this arrow will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars!"

With the roar of the more than 20 soldiers around, the news quickly spread throughout the battlefield. The panicked soldiers suddenly seemed to have found the backbone, and the retreat was finally contained, plus Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Zhou Zhi all rushed to the front line again, roaring and commanding, and finally succeeded in stabilizing their positions, and gradually under the command of the generals and colonels of various departments, reorganized the army and advanced.

Wang Xu, who was carried by the soldiers, glanced at it from a distance, and also breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately, Liu Biao's soldiers were tired, and they were scared by Jing Nan, and now they have completely lost their fighting spirit, and they only care about taking the opportunity to escape. If the opponent could all reflexively face the battle and strive to advance at that moment, I am afraid that he would be completely defeated and let the other party withdraw calmly.

However, when my heart was relieved, I could no longer stop the strange feeling of fainting. Although he avoided the vital point, the injuries caused by Huang Zhong's arrow were also very severe, and within a moment, Wang Xu was completely unconscious...... (To be continued.) )
