Chapter 152: Encounter

"General, today's routine patrol should begin."

Zhou Cang stood next to Zhu Zhi and reminded cautiously.

He was specially left by Liu Hong to supervise Zhu Zhi.

Hearing this, Zhu Zhi sighed a little helplessly, and got up to organize an army patrol.

It's just that the moment he turned his head, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Although Zhu Zhi is just a general, he is at least a general.

Zhou Cang was just a small guard by Duan Xuan's side.

Dare to ride on his head and command.

What Zhu Zhi didn't expect was that for Liu Hong's orders, Zhou Cang actually did everything in 1510 and was meticulous.

And if he Zhu Zhi didn't do it, he would be recorded in a small book by Zhou Cang, saying that he would report to Liu Hong.

This made Zhu Zhi even more angry.

Especially about patrolling, Zhou Cang has to remind him almost every day.

Now that Yuan Yao is busy beating Yuan Shang and Liu Hong, where does he get the energy to manage the little Jingzhou?

What if you can divide some of your forces?

It's still okay to hold a city.

It's a big deal to hold on until Liu Hong sends troops to support.

It's just unfounded!

If it weren't for Zhou Cang being Duan Xuan's guard, he would be the person appointed by Liu Hong.

Zhu Zhi had already pressed Zhou Cang to the ground and beat him violently.

Not much.

Zhu Zhi formed the team for today's patrol, and then took Zhou Cang and five hundred soldiers out of the city.

Patrolling within a hundred miles of Nanyang County is what they have to do every day.

Originally, Zhou Cang led the troops to patrol for a day, and he led the troops to patrol for a day, but today Zhu Zhi just wanted to play with Zhou Cang.

Let your kid urge every day.

I'll keep you from resting for a few days in a row, and see if you can't rush it.

Thinking about it, Zhu Zhi turned his head to look at Zhou Cang's face while leading the troops forward.

I saw that the other party was panting slightly, constantly wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, obviously a little tired.

However, seeing this, Zhu Zhi felt a lot better.

Soon they were patrolling nearly a hundred miles.

It stands to reason that he should return to the city.

But today, Zhu Zhi just didn't want Zhou Cang to have a better time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think a hundred miles is still too much insurance, why don't we patrol two hundred miles?"

As he spoke, Zhu Zhi turned his head to look at Zhou Cang.

"I don't know how General Zhou Cang is? Can it still hold on? ”

Hearing this, Zhou Cang's honest face showed a touch of astonishment, and then he hurriedly waved his hand.

"The general said with a smile, where do I dare to be called by you."

"I naturally have no opinion on adding another hundred miles, the farther you go, the safer it is."

Hearing Zhou Cang's words, Zhu Zhi smiled disdainfully in his heart.

However, just as he continued to march to one hundred and fifty miles with Zhou Cang and a group of soldiers, a black oppressive patch appeared in his sight.

It's just that because the distance is too far, at least a mile apart, and the night is getting darker, Zhu Zhi and the others can't see clearly.

Zhu Zhi immediately ordered the team to continue forward until they could see clearly.

The team quickly approached.

Zhu Zhi and the others also saw clearly what the black oppressive piece was.

And the alliance of princes also saw Zhu Zhi and others clearly.

Zhu Zhi looked at the army in front of him with a stunned expression, and a chill suddenly appeared.

"Retreat!"

He only had time to yell, then turned and ran.

Zhou Cang and a group of soldiers also ran away.

Are you kidding!

There are 100,000 people in that black area, right!?

Why did so many armies suddenly come?

The princes were also stunned when they saw Zhu Zhi and the others in front of them.

What's the situation?

How did this team suddenly appear out of thin air?

But it didn't take long for someone to react.

"Look at the armor on them! That's Liu Hong's person! ”

"What?"

"That's Liu Hong's person?"

Suddenly, a series of exclamations rang out among the princes.

They never imagined that they would be able to meet Liu Hong's soldiers one hundred and fifty miles away from Nanyang County.

"Catch up! Don't let them run! ”

Immediately, some princes reacted and immediately sent their men to quickly chase after them.

Seeing this, the rest of the princes also sent people to chase after them.

For a time, there were nearly tens of thousands of troops chasing after Zhu Zhi.

Zhu Zhi, who was running for his life, turned around and saw this scene, and suddenly his soul was overwhelmed.

Damn! How suddenly so many people!

There was no time to think about it, so he could only continue to escape.

The news must be told to Liu Hong as soon as possible.

An army of 100,000 people who didn't know what force it belonged to actually touched Jingzhou!

If this is to let Jingzhou fall into the other party's pocket.

Liu Hong, who was leading the army to attack Yangzhou, was attacked by the enemy on his back.

"Damn it! Where did this army come from? ”

"Shouldn't Yuan Yao be on his way to Yangzhou at this time?"

Zhu Zhi secretly gritted his teeth and said.

Not long ago, he passed the book with a large army of flying pigeons.

There was no news of any movement of the army at all.

How is this possible? Where did this army of 100,000 men come from?

Just as Zhu Zhi was thinking.

An arrow grazed his face, stripping off a strand of flesh.

"Ahhh

Zhu Zhi suddenly let out a heart-rending scream, covering his injured right cheek and wailing loudly.

But before he could howl for long, he was just about to get up when a big strong hand pressed against the horse's back.

Zhu Zhi habitually got up and resisted.

Until he heard the sound of several arrows flying through the air above his head, he suddenly stopped struggling.

It took several seconds before the hand let go of Zhu Zhi.

As soon as the latter wanted to get up and thank him, he was shocked to find that the person who had just made the move turned out to be Zhou Cang.

For a moment, the words of thanks instantly choked.

The afterglow of Zhu Zhi's eyes fell on Zhou Cang's left hand in the middle of the arrow.

I saw that there were three or four arrows stuck in the arm that the other party was holding him just now.

Obviously, it was Zhou Cang who gritted his teeth and blocked the fatal blow for him.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhi didn't know what to say for a while.

He immediately looked back and found that the five hundred soldiers who had fled with him were now less than a hundred.

The rest were all caught up and killed, or they were thrust into hedgehogs by arrows.

The army behind is still in hot pursuit.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.

Fortunately, they were not far from the direction of the city gates.

"Quick! I'm Zhu Zhi! Open the gates now! ”

"Everyone defend at once, archers ready!"

"The enemy is coming!!

Zhu Zhi almost shouted the last sentence at the top of his throat.

As the gate slowly fell.

The few dozen remaining soldiers immediately followed Zhu Zhi into the city gate.

And just as they entered the city, the 10,000 vanguard troops of the princes' alliance army also quickly arrived.

Looking at the city in front of them, the princes did not immediately attack.

They looked at the city in front of them with wary expressions.

Without complete certainty, the vanguard army, which had only 10,000 men, did not dare to act rashly at all.

Just wait for the army behind you to catch up.

But even so, the vanguard army still divided 5,000 men to cut off the retreat of the city.

In this way, you can catch turtles in the urn.
