Where to retreat?

Everyone looked at Guan Sheng, and Cheng Wanli, who pretended to be unconscious, also pricked up his ears.

Guan Sheng thought for a while, raised his head and said: "Go to Dong'e County!" ”

The situation is critical, and he must make a decision immediately.

Dongping Prefecture has six counties: Shouzhang County in the southwest, Guyang County in the northwest, Dong'e County in the north, Pingyin County in the northeast, Zhongdu County in the southeast, and Xucheng County in the southeast.

In addition to Xucheng County, where the government is located, among the other five counties, Dong'e County is the closest, more than 120 miles, and can be reached in one day and night.

And Shouzhang County is also very close, but that is where Zhujiazhuang's old nest is, of course, you can't throw yourself into the net.

Hao Siwen led the brigade to protect Cheng Wanli in the direction of Dong'e County, while Guan Sheng led 500 sword and shield soldiers and 500 archers. Cheng Wanli continued to be "unconscious" and was settled in a carriage.

After the brigade led by Lin Chong arrived at the palace, Zhu Long immediately led them to kill the west gate, and when they came to the west gate, the city gate was closed and empty.

Fearing an ambush, he sent a team of soldiers to check it out. After inspecting the outside of the city, it was confirmed that it was really evacuated.

"Chase!" Zhu Long took Luan Tingyu, Lin Chong, Sun Li, Ma Lin, Deng Fei, Li Jun, Li Yun and seven hundred cavalry to follow the retreat of the army and chase all the way.

Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Yang Xiong led a large group of infantry to guard the palace and the city gate.

Zhu Long did not ride a horse, but maintained the normal speed of the horse, the cavalry of the Zhu family army did not have a pair of horses, in order to ensure the horsepower when put into battle, now can not squeeze the war horse too much, when encountering a steep slope up the ridge, they have to dismount and walk.

Less than four or five miles away, I came across a mountain ridge with dense forests on both sides and a dirt road in the middle.

"Stop!" Zhu Long grabbed the reins and raised his right hand high.

He squinted his eyes and looked ahead, only to see flocks of birds hovering over the trees, not daring to fall, and there were sporadic reflections of cold light in the trees.

"There's an ambush!" He said flatly.

The generals looked vigilant and clenched their weapons.

What to do?

Everyone looked at Zhu Long.

Zhu Long lowered his head and thought about it, now it is certain that Guan Sheng is retreating to the direction of Dong'e County, there is only such a big road to Dong'e County, and there is no way to detour.

If you rush over, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties, so you can't do that.

He suddenly ordered: "Turn around and go back!" ”

Just give up? The generals were stunned, the trumpeters had already sounded their horns, and the cavalrymen turned their horses and walked back.

Guan Sheng hid in the woods, staring coldly at the retreat of the cavalry of the Zhu family's army, and waited for a long time, under the support of a group of pro-soldiers, he walked out of the woods, walked to the main road, and saw the cavalry of the Zhu family's army going away, setting off the yellow dust all the way.

"What a vigilant fellow!" He felt more and more the horror of Zhu Long, and said to the military officials around him: "Let everyone come out and move on!" ”

Although the ambush was not successful, at least it scared off Zhulong, and the soldiers happily chased after the large army in front, temporarily forgetting the shame and pain of being defeated and fleeing!

After going more than five miles, after crossing the mountain, there are plains along the way.

A small clear river flowed, and everyone who had walked so many miles was thirsty that they ran to the river and drank water with both hands.

Guan Sheng frowned, but he didn't say anything, after all, everyone was tired, and he couldn't be harsh on the soldiers at this time.

Suddenly, his face changed, he seemed to hear a muffled roar of thunder, and then he felt as if the earth was shaking.

"Formation! Formation! He shouted!

At the corner of the woods not far away, a group of cavalry rushed out, and the leader was Zhu Long!

Zhu Long brandished a spear and took the lead, with Luan Tingyu, Sun Li, and Ma Lin on the left, Lin Chong, Deng Fei, Li Jun, and Li Yun on the right, and behind him were cavalrymen like rolling torrents.

He saw the officers and soldiers panic, except for a few soldiers who formed a formation to resist according to Guan Sheng's order, most of the officers and soldiers dropped their swords, shields, bows and arrows, jumped into the river and fled to the other side.

Seeing this scene, Guan Sheng closed his eyes in despair, he didn't blame these deserters for being cowards, but they had no battle formations and lacked training, and it was normal for them to flee in the face of cavalry charges.

Run away, at least survive!

He glanced at the soldiers who were in formation, all of them pale and trembling.

These are good soldiers! will be afraid, fearful, but can insist on carrying out the orders of the superiors.

Oh, that's a pity!

"Kill!" He stepped on his horse and rushed towards the cavalry of the Zhu family's army.

After he is the martial saint Guan Yu, even if he dies, he will die vigorously.

One man, one ride, one knife!

One ride is a thousand!

Zhu Long suddenly felt a chill on his body, and in the midst of the army, he suddenly felt that he was facing Guan Sheng alone.

It seems that Guan Sheng wants to capture the thief and capture the king first.

Zhu Long sneered, clenched the Flying Dragon Divine Spear in his hand, and wanted to meet the head of the Five Tiger Generals for a while, but Luan Tingyu and Lin Chong passed him and shot at Guan Sheng at the same time.

The three of them fought, and the cavalry behind them passed by them like flowing water meets rocks.

Bands of cavalry dispersed, some surrounded the officers and soldiers who were resisting in formation, disarming their weapons, and some went to chase the fleeing officers and soldiers and drove them together.

Guan Sheng was secretly surprised in his heart, the two opponents in front of him were on par with him, even if he dealt with one of them, he was not sure of victory, let alone the two of them together.

However, he was already determined to die, fearless, and the big knife in his hand flew up, covering left and right, and he was very brave, which made Lin Chong and Luan Tingyu also very admired.

However, the two of them showed no mercy at all, even if Guan Shengchao played at a high level, he couldn't resist the joint efforts of the two of them.

"Stop!" Seeing that Guan Sheng was defeated, Zhu Long shouted loudly, his pursuit this time was to force down Guan Sheng, but he couldn't let Guan Sheng be killed by them.

Luan Tingyu and Lin Chong retreated, and Guan Sheng stayed where he was, looking at Zhu Long puzzled.

Zhu Long drove the horse to him, dismounted and hugged his fists and said: "General Guan, I have heard your name for a long time, and Zhu has admired him for a long time!"

Now that the court is dim, treacherous and evil are in charge, you are a dignified hero and a martial saint bloodline, why should you be salted by villains in this dirty and rotten yamen?

It's better to Xiema and I wish the family village, and everyone will crisscross the rivers and lakes together, wouldn't it be happy? ”

Seeing Zhu Long respecting him so much, Guan Sheng was a little moved in his heart, but he has always prided himself on his loyalty, how could he take refuge in Zhujiazhuang?

"Thank you for wishing the officials good intentions, it's just that Guan Mou is a court officer, he eats the king's fortune, and is loyal to the king, how can he turn his back on the monarch's father and take refuge in the enemy, forgive Guan for not complying, and please give the official a quick death!"

"Haha!" Zhu Long laughed, "In the past, Emperor Zhaolie regarded your ancestors as siblings, so Lord Wusheng repaid him with loyalty and righteousness, and his reputation has been passed down through the ages!" Today, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, the son of heaven of the Zhao family, regard the heroes of the world as grass mustard, and look at our martial artists as inferior, but you also repay your loyalty, isn't it wrong?

Even reckless people know that they are hot-blooded and only sell and know goods! How can it be sold cheaply?

General Guan, I love your character and martial arts, I really can't bear to kill you, I will let you go today! ”
