Chapter 65: Shame
Cheng Puzheng was fighting with Hou Cheng, and was entangled by him, and when he heard Sun Quan shouting, it was too late to save him.
Zhang Liao danced the knife to kill the two guards, only a stone's throw away from Sun Quan, the war horse galloped, until the bridge, the big knife slashed down, like thunder.
Sun Quan grew up under the care of his father and brother since he was a child, and he had fought at such a close distance, and was shrouded in Zhang Liao's fierce murderous aura, so stunned that he couldn't move.
"Rest hurting my lord!"
Seeing the blade falling from the sky, there was a sudden loud shout, and a person rushed out of the oblique stab.
With a loud bang, Zhang Liao was forcibly stopped, the mount man stood up, and hundreds of heavily armored Wu troops stopped the trapped camp.
Zhang Liao's eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed that he would be a slightly immature teenager, and said in a deep voice: "Who is here?" ”
This young man was Ling Tong, who forcibly caught Zhang Liao's knife, which shocked him so much that his blood surged, his face turned red, and he was speechless.
At this time, Cheng Pu had already forced Hou Cheng to retreat, and shouted: "The lord is going to go." ”
Sun Quan reacted, urged the war horse, and led the troops to the south with Cheng Pu.
Zhang Liao snorted slightly, urging the horse to chase, Ling Tong raised his knife and stopped again, gritted his teeth and fought, and the two fought at the bridgehead for more than ten times, regardless of victory or defeat.
Zhang Liao was secretly shocked in his heart, this young man had such a ability, seeing Sun Quan walking away, he roared and shook him back, Hou Cheng stepped forward to stop Ling Tong and asked Zhang Liao to chase Sun Quan.
At this time, Zhou Tai and Chen Wu on the opposite side heard the sound of drums, and also led the troops to turn back, and tens of thousands of Wu troops were blocked on the other side of the river, so anxious that they were like ants on a hot pot, and they were turning around.
Most of the Wu soldiers were infantry, Zhang Liao's horse was fast, and he was trapped in the camp like an arrow from the string, and he was the first to kill along the river, Cheng Pu turned around and fought to the death, and was cut down the river bank by Zhang Liao's three knives.
The sun was shining, Sun Quan ran hard with more than a hundred guards, and Zhang Liao followed closely behind, followed by the Wu army who was chaotic and coaxing like a flock of sheep.
On the other side of the river, Zhou Tai and Chen Wu also led their troops to march together, so anxious that the two scratched their ears and cheeks, but they were helpless.
At this time, Zhu Ling also led the troops to recover, and it turned out that Zang Ba led Shouchun reinforcements to arrive, and the two joined forces and came to chase and kill the Wu army.
The banks of the river are like a great migration of animals, and there are Wu troops running everywhere, down the river, scattered within ten miles in a blink of an eye, and the formation is scattered.
Sun Quan looked back, Cheng Pu and Ling Tong were nowhere to be seen, and the blue robe flying in the wind was getting closer and closer, and he was frightened.
When he was leaving, suddenly a tidal flat appeared in front of him, the front army fell into a swamp, unable to move, Sun Quan hurriedly reined in his horse, and then detoured to be chased and killed by Zhang Liao, and was at a loss.
Zhou Tai was so anxious on the other side that he yelled: "Lord, jump into the river, jump-"
"Blue-eyed, take your life-"
Zhang Liao slapped his horse and danced his knife to chase after him, Sun Quan gritted his teeth, urged his mount violently, and the war horse galloped onto the embankment, jumped in the air, and jumped into the river with a bang.
On the other side, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu and a group of Eastern Wu soldiers also jumped into the river, crackling like dumplings, and quickly swam to Sun Quan to save people.
Zhang Liao urged the horse to the shore, stretched his bow and arrows, and shot several arrows in a row, but Sun Quan's water quality was not bad, and he dived into the water and drifted away.
The sails of the ship were surging in the downstream direction, and the Eastern Wu naval army had also arrived, Zhang Liao knew that the pursuit was hopeless, so he turned his horse's head and chased and killed those fleeing Wu troops on the back and forth.
The Wu soldiers retreated scattered on the road, and were killed all the way by Zhang Liao, so frightened that they screamed and fled, and many people jumped directly into the river.
This way from the south to the north, as if the big yellow dog rushed into the flock of chickens and ducks, Wu Jun did not dare to make a move, making the chickens fly and the dogs jumped.
On the other side, Zhu Ling and Zang Ba were not far behind, leading their troops to rush and kill all the way, and the Wu army had no one to command and dispatch, so they only cared about fleeing for their lives, and suffered countless casualties.
Seeing that Zhang Liao collected his troops, he also led his troops back, collected weapons along the way, and returned with a great victory.
Zhang Liao returned to the bridge and saw that Hou Cheng's arm was injured, and asked, "How is the injury?" ”
Hou Cheng smiled embarrassedly: "Being injured by that young man's blade is fine, and his martial arts are not under me." ”
Zhang Li recalled the situation when he fought each other, frowned and said: "This son grows up, and he will be in great trouble in the future." ”
Hou Cheng said with a smile: "After I go back, it's time to train Huzi well." ”
Speaking of his son Zhang Hu, Zhang Liao showed a smile on his face, and said angrily: "Jiangdong is so heroic, why is Sun Quan a repeated villain?" ”
On the other side, Zhu Ling and Zang Ba also collected their troops and returned, and each of the Cao army carried many heavy weapons on their backs and returned with a full load.
Zang Ba came to the center of the broken bridge and gave a thumbs up: "Wenyuan is good, it's a pity that I have the opportunity to beat the water dog." ”
Zhang Liao laughed and said: "If Sun Quan dares to come again, he will be turned into a lost dog." ”
Although the battle failed to get rid of Sun Quan, it deterred Dongwu and solved the urgent need.
In the lower reaches of the Huai River, Jiang Qin led the navy to come and save Sun Quan and others, and the Wu army withdrew to Chaohu Lake from both banks.
Sun Quan was wrapped in a blanket in the cabin, shivering, and he didn't know whether he was cold or scared!
It was dusk when the fleet returned to Shuizhai, and Sun Quan walked out of the cabin, looking around at the embarrassed soldiers, and the glow of Chaohu Lake behind him was poignant and magnificent.
Zhou Tai and Chen Wu knelt under the boat and pleaded guilty: "Failing to protect the lord and Zhou Quan, I will be sentenced to death." ”
"What kind of sin are you?" Sun Quan shook his head slightly, motioned for everyone to get up, and looked in the direction of the Xianghe River, his eyes were deep.
Not long after, Ling Tong also returned with more than ten people, all of them were covered in tattered clothes and armor, covered in blood, and Ling Tong's body was even more scarred.
"If there is no public achievement today, my life will be lost!"
Sun Quan nodded with satisfaction, and ordered someone to take Ling Tong down for good treatment, such a young hero should be reused in the future.
Turning around, he saw that Cheng Pu was also soaked, his hair was scattered, and he smiled bitterly: "Cheng Gong has followed his father and brother for half his life, how can he ever be so embarrassed?" I'm tired too! ”
Cheng Pu hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Why did the lord say this? It was the incompetence of his subordinates, not Zhang Liao's opponent, which frightened the lord. ”
"What a shame, what a shame!" Sun Quan suddenly removed the blanket on his body, and his face was gloomy: "After this defeat, what face do I have to go to see Jiangdong's father?" ”
Cheng Pu and others hurriedly persuaded: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, General Han has captured Chao County, reorganized the people, and advanced by land and water, and will definitely turn defeat into victory, and be ashamed." ”
Listening to everyone's persuasion, Sun Quan became more and more angry the more he thought about it, thinking that Liu Qi, a sick man, could block Cao Cao's 300,000 army with his own strength, and Cao Ren and Xiahoudun were both defeated and captured.
With ten times the number of troops, he was beaten to the ground by Zhang Liao, wouldn't it be shameful for the world to spread it?
Thinking of Chaisang's bold words, he felt even more hot on his face, and pushed everyone away and turned back to the cabin.
Cheng Pu was stunned for a moment, but saw Sun Quan walking out with an ancient ingot knife and kneeling down in the bow of the boat to the southeast.
All the generals were inexplicable, and they all knelt down one after another.
Sun Quan raised his sword in both hands and bowed three times in the direction of Wu Jun.
Then he got up and looked at everyone, and said slowly: "The Sun family is full of heroes, can a certain An suffer such a great humiliation?" Go to the fountain and apologize to your father and brother! ”
After saying that, he pulled out the blade of the knife and shouted, "No one is allowed to stop me!" ”
Carefully placing the scabbard on the side of the ship, Sun Quan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and grabbed the ancient ingot knife and wiped it off his neck.
