Shucheng is more than 180 miles away from Wankou Ferry, and if you really want to run over, not to mention these infantry, even the war horses of these cavalry can vomit blood and die violently.

In fact, the distance from the Lu military camp all the way to Anyang Mountain is not close, more than 30 miles.

The cavalry accompanying Sun Ce was fine, and no matter how desperate those infantry were, they couldn't outrun the cavalry of the Lu army.

Three thousand horsemen pursued all the way in the wilderness, like hunters harvesting their prey.

In the first battle of Luying, the 18,000 people in Jiangdong lost nearly half of their soldiers and horses, and after leaving the village, these foot soldiers knew that they could not run on four legs with two legs, and they did not dare to hold a group, so they could only run sporadically.

There are those who rush south, those who flee into the dense forest, and those who know the terrain and know that there are villages nearby as refuge points.

Of course, the advantage of this is to preserve the living force as much as possible, but the disadvantages are also obvious, the defeated soldiers always have to eat, Shucheng can no longer go back, and the final result is either to surrender to the Lu army, or to fall into the grass.

If you want to go back by robbing your house along the way, you can't do it, after all, the villagers will also report to the officials.

Faced with such a situation, Zhao Yun was not interested in this kind of sporadic defeated soldiers at all, so he asked Xu Sheng and Yu Ban to lead 500 cavalry each to collect the defeated soldiers, and he took Yan Liangwen Chou to lead the remaining more than 1,000 cavalry to chase in the direction of Yang'an Mountain.

Along the way, there will be a slightly larger Jiangdong army to fight for their lives to block, mostly a team of 100 people, and occasionally a team of three or five hundred people, but Zhao Yun is not in love with fighting, and the wolf ride of the state rushes through like a torrent of steel, leaving a bloody road and swaggering away.

Zhao Yun knew very well that his target was Sun Ce, and the others didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Lord, go southwest, don't go straight!"

In the process of escaping, Han Dang was constantly directing the direction of travel, and at the same time beckoned Chen Wu and the others, "There is a pass after two miles, throw thistles terrestris!" ”

"Whoa!"

The experienced Sun family will play their part, leading the army to take shortcuts, and at the same time, every cramped passage will make people throw a large amount of thistles.

Fortunately, the sky was not yet dawn, and the dense iron thistle terrestris did make the pursuing Lu army cavalry suffer a lot, and even the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou was damaged.

Every time he encountered this situation, Zhao Yun had to take a detour, God knows how many others were ahead, and this detour would have to walk seven or eight miles, which greatly delayed the progress of the pursuit.

When the thistle runs out, the Jiangdong Army will exchange their lives at the cramped intersection, just so that more people can leave alive.

Many people actually didn't think that they would have a righteous and awe-inspiring day when they joined the army, and the perennial knife licking blood and life and death accompanied them, so that they began to believe in something in their hearts, called love and righteousness.

The money is not changed, although tens of millions of people go to me.

If it weren't for this, with the speed of the wolf riding in Bingzhou, he would have already caught up with the Jiangdong soldiers.

When the sky was white, Sun Ce finally led people to the foot of Yang'an Mountain, of course, this was on the premise of taking care of the foot soldiers, otherwise they could have arrived an hour earlier.

After using up all the thistles and fighting two or three thousand people, this group of foot soldiers was also brought to the foot of Yang'an Mountain, but there were only more than a thousand people.

After running for more than 30 miles without rest, at this moment they were lying on the ground staggering and panting, and some were vomiting because of physical exhaustion.

Even the cavalrymen sitting on their horses were tired enough, and their state can be imagined.

Some people can't even believe that they have run more than 30 miles in one go, which is probably the amazing potential when the will to survive explodes.

"Brothers, before it's time to breathe a sigh of relief, come up the mountain with me!" Cheng Pu is urging, but he is tired of being like this, where do they still have the strength.

Sun Ce, who was sitting on the galloping horse, just watched all this blankly and did not speak.

Their embarrassment, their escape from death, were all due to themselves, and now, sitting on a horse, what could he ask for?

"Zhao Yun is about to be killed, hurry up!" Han Dang understands psychology.

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers began to get up in twos and threes.

Sun Ce's heart ached, when did the soldiers in Jiangdong have fallen to the point where they need to be stimulated by this method.

He suddenly understood why Xiang Yu was reluctant to cross the river in the first place.

Half a year ago, tens of thousands of troops went north, hunting with flags, and the combination of land and water was like a rainbow.

Now, except for the more than 1,000 people in front of him, everyone else is nowhere to be found, Tai Shici is gone, Zhou Yu is gone, what face does he have to go back to see Jiangdong's father.

Sun Ce dismounted, walked to a clear spring, and looked at the loss of the tasseled helmet in the reflection, and his sideburns were so unfamiliar.

Sun Ce, the former little overlord, was angry with his horses in fresh clothes, and he swallowed thousands of miles of anger, what a heroic spirit he was.

The reflection circles in the water are round, and there are occasional ripples.

"Little Overlord" Sun Ce sneered.

"My lord, it's not time to be sad yet, we must get out of here quickly." Cheng Puyu patted him on the shoulder seriously.

Sun Ce took a breath, turned his back to Cheng Pu and nodded, "Go up the mountain." ”

In this area, Han Dang had explored on the eve of the war, and he knew the terrain well, and soon found a way up the mountain.

However, the mountain road is rugged, and the war horse must not be used, so it can only be dragged and climbed.

The road was not easy to walk, but the hearts of the Jiangdong soldiers gradually settled down.

As long as they went up the mountain, the cavalry would not be able to play a role.

"Sun Ce! I've been waiting for you here for a long time on the orders of the Hou Ye, so I'll arrest you, hahaha." Gan Ning on the hillside let out a loud laugh.

This is a great merit, if Sun Ce can be captured, no one will dare to grab the position of the first merit.

It was when the hearts of the Jiangdong soldiers were cold, and there was a rumbling sound from the mountain, like a landslide and the ground cracked.

"Quick! Find cover! Han Dang hissed angrily.

The soldiers acted almost subconsciously, either hiding between ravines or under boulders.

There was a roar in his ears, and from time to time there were rolling stones, sassal trees, and arrows overhead, between life and death.

Sergeants who were unlucky enough to get close to the nearest cover were either knocked into the air by rolling stones or shot into hedgehogs.

It was when Sun Ce was thinking about how to fight a bloody path that the rain of arrows stopped, and so did the rolling stones and trees.

Everyone poked their heads out tentatively to check the situation, but it didn't seem to be attacking.

"Damn, they want to trap us here, waiting for Zhao Yun and them to kill!" Cheng Pu immediately analyzed Gan Ning's evil intentions.

For a while, Jiang Dongjun only felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet.

Do you need to be so careful with a rout, if they rush down, the casualties will be terrible, but they may not be sure to break through.

But according to Cheng Pu's analysis, when Zhao Yun and others come to attack up and down, there is absolutely no way to survive.

This is Lin Yunwen, who calculated everything to the extreme.

Sun Ce seems to have a new understanding of the four words "outwitting and strength", and what else is there to say when it comes to being calculated.

"Lord, when Zhao Yun comes, we really can't go back, for today's plan, only by desperately rushing up the mountain, as long as we conflict this encirclement and enter the depths of the mountain, there will be a glimmer of life!" Han Dang also shouted to Sun Ce, who was lying down under the stones not far away.

Looking at Chen Wu and Dong Xian who were holding swords in their hands, at this moment, I don't know if they were too tired or really desperate, Sun Ce's eyes dimmed at the speed of light, lowered his head, and muttered: "Zilie, Yuan Dynasty, put down your weapons and surrender, I don't blame you, I know, you have done your best." ”

rushed to the mountain with more than 1,000 people, not only with a rain of arrows, but also with rolling stones and trees, what is the difference between this and pushing people to death.

Sun Ce was really tired and scared, he didn't want to see Jiangdong's sons die on the battlefield again.

"There are only sons and daughters who died in battle in Jiangdong, and there are no bad breeds who surrendered." Chen Wu replied firmly.

Dong Xun also smiled and said: "The lord's words are underestimating people, and wait, I will open the way with Zilie, and the lord will lead people to follow our steps!" ”

"You guys." Sun Ce's eyes were filled with tears, and he was choked up and unable to speak.

"Bo Fu, when the first lord took us to life and die, he didn't encounter a desperate situation that was even more dangerous than this, but the first lord never said the words "put down the weapon."

Cheng Pu was also cheering him up, "If you really die on the battlefield, the first lord will also be proud of you, but if you put down your weapon today, the first lord will not recognize you as a son!" ”

"Lord, fight, it's a big deal to die!"

"It's an honor for us to die on the battlefield with my lord!"

"Lord, I can't die yet!"

One voice after another.

Sun Ce only felt that he was also infected, and the blood that had been extinguished boiled again, he looked around and said resolutely: "Okay, you are the best soldiers in the world.

Brethren, I swear by this sword"

He pulled out the sword at his waist and said in a sonorous voice: "Brother who survives today, he will never forget the robe buried in Huainan for many years!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Three killing shouts, Dong Xi and Chen Wu exchanged a look, and the two rushed out from behind a boulder left and right, and the surrounding soldiers followed.

Immediately afterward, the roar resumed, and they had to find cover again, relying on this gap to advance slowly.

Of course, in this process, many soldiers died under the rain of arrows.

But they have no choice, if they want to break through, there is only one way.

"Hey, this group of people is really dying." Gan Ning once felt that they should give up resistance, after all, their appearance in Anyang Mountain proved that Lin Mo's strategy had been successfully implemented.

Naturally, Jiangdong's casualties should be extremely heavy.

At the moment, their strength is only 17,800, and they dare not put down their weapons and dare to take the initiative to die.

"Shoot fast, shoot fast, aim shot!" Gan Ning kept shouting, and even picked up his bow and arrow to aim.

The sergeants in Jiangdong are really brave, and Gan Ning spread 3,000 people into a line of troops for several miles, just to give them the greatest pressure.

Unexpectedly, the Jiangdong Army shrunk its forces into a ball and aimed at a point that was not afraid of death.

Faith is really not a joke, when everyone has the determination to die, just to let Sun Ce break through alive, the potential that bursts out is very amazing.

The sergeant who was hit by the arrow would take his last breath to block the wood and rolling stones for the robe, and more than 1,700 people, almost at the cost of ninety percent of the casualties, were finally able to get close to the Lu army.

Rao is Gan Ning's double halberds were cut into blood red, and he couldn't bear this group of Jiangdong troops who had followed one after another.

Perhaps, this is also related to the fact that Gan Ning brought a water army, which is slightly watery.

At the hill, Chen Wu and Dong Xi joined forces to fight Ganning, and the surrounding Lu army gathered like ants.

The remaining 100 people also fell to the ground one after another in Lu Jun's spear, and in the end, only Chen Wu and Dong attacked in the battle circle.

After the battle was not counted, he was captured by Gan Ning and the sergeants who gathered up.

It's just that when Gan Ning excitedly went to look at the corpse, he didn't see Sun Ce.

"Damn, you fought so hard!" Gan Ning reacted, these people are all death squads, just to gather all his people after rushing up, Sun Ce should have taken this opportunity to run away.

"They can't run far, chase me!"

Shucheng.

Lin Mo had already entered the city and taken over here.

However, there are still a lot of things to deal with, and I won't be able to do anything else for a while.

For example, the Jiangdong Army, which ran to various places, should be retracted, or it should be retracted, otherwise after a long time, I am afraid that it will be swept into a group of mountain bandits.

These wounded soldiers in the city are also a headache.

You can't kill them all, because the vast majority of them are Jiangdong people, after Sun Ce went through this battle, he should not be able to sit still in Jiangdong, and he doesn't need to leave a murderous reputation for fighting and violent, but it is not conducive to appeasing the people.

After thinking about it, I thought about healing the injuries of this group of people first.

As for how to use it and whether it can be used, you still need to think about it carefully.

The soldiers and horses of all the troops came back one after another, and many prisoners were captured, but they did not have time to count.

In the prison, three young generals from Jiangdong, Lü Meng, Chen Wu and Dong Xi, were also imprisoned.

To be honest, with the strength of the Lu Lin Group today, Lin Mo can be disdainful of these people.

In the end, it is the two of the twelve tiger ministers of Jiangbiao, one of the four major governors, if you want to fight a water war in the future, in fact, these people are good right-hand men, Lin Mo still went to the prison.

"Sun Ce has the grace of knowing you, but you have fought on the battlefield all these years, and you exchanged your life last night, so you should always pay it back."

Under the escort of Zhao Yun, Lin Mo came to the place where the three people were held in the prison, holding the fence thicker than his arm, and said calmly: "If the three of them are willing to surrender, they can still do something." ”

"You're Lin Mo?"

Lu Meng and Chen Wu were silent, Dong Xi, who was disheveled and shackled, glanced at Lin Mo and sneered: "I heard that you are the most calculating person in the world, but you don't know the word righteousness, don't waste your tongue, Jiangdong's son, don't be afraid of death." ”

Zhao Yun couldn't help but look at him more, and he was not stunned when the knife was on his neck, he was a man.

Lu Meng is not bad, in the battle last night, he could have escaped, but he was willing to exchange his life for Sun Ce.

The affection of the lord and the minister is admirable.

Lin Mo looked at Lu Meng and Chen Wu, who were completely unresponsive, and then at Dong Xian, who had a disdainful expression, and also sneered.

Hard bones, right?

I like to gnaw bones.

"Hehe, don't rush to conclusions, you still have time to think about it."

Lin Mo's fingers flicked on the fence carelessly, and said quietly: "There are still thousands of wounded soldiers in the city, plus the defeated soldiers who have been captured, how can it be more than 10,000."

But if you fall, for your sake's sake, you may keep.

But I'm also afraid that if all of them are as hard as your bones, it will be a disaster to keep them. ”

At this moment, Dong Xian's expression, which was originally disdainful, froze, and Chen Wu and Lu Meng, who had no reaction, couldn't help but raise their heads.

But there are still wounded soldiers in the city They know that it is certainly not difficult to be chased by the cavalry overnight and capture thousands of prisoners. Not lying.

This is the lives of tens of thousands of people, all of whom were born and died in the past.

They can ignore their own lives and deaths, but they can't ignore others.

"Think slowly, don't worry, I'm still a little patient." After Lin Mo showed a meaningful smile, he ignored the hysterical Dong Xian's roar and strode out of the prison.

"Yunwen, you really will" out of prison, Zhao Yun hesitated a little.

"Do you really think I'm born with a penchant for killing?"

Lin Mo glanced at him angrily, "Isn't that to scare and scare them, I won't tell you, I still value their water fighting skills, when Xingba was defeated in the Yangtze River, it was Lu Meng's first battle." ”

"That's right." Zhao Yun shook his head when he heard this.

"So, I'll let you go, good guy, you can be it."

"Me?" Zhao Yun plucked out his ears.

"Although you beheaded Tai Shici and killed Zhou Yu, but each is its own master, and there is nothing to hate. Moreover, no one knows the prestige of your Changshan Zhao Zilong, and you deign to be bitter, I think it should be useful. "It's a psychological gap to play, Lin Mo feels that there is still a chance for this.

"What's expensive or not, I'm just from a mountain and no villager."

Zhao Yun sneered, "But if you open your mouth, I'm happy to give it a try." ”

Lin Mo nodded and didn't say anything more.

Water warfare has now almost become its Achilles' heel, if Jingzhou's naval army can't deal with it, not to mention Cao Cao's defeat at Chibi, there will be a great obstacle to the south of the front.

If you can, I still hope to accept these people.

Isn't Sun Quan dead, Wuxia Amon can also be persuaded by Lin Mo to learn.

"Yunwen, after cleaning up here, are you going to go to the northern country?" Zhao Yun asked tentatively.

After Lin Mo stopped, he looked at him faintly and smiled, "I know what you're thinking, don't worry, I have a way to help you."

Moreover, it will take some time here, and I won't be able to go back for a while, so I have to go to Anhui County.

Alas, for the sake of the great cause, I not only have to spend my brain, but I also have to sacrifice hue at a critical time. ”

"Yunwen, your cheeks have caught up."

"Speaking of this guy, I miss him a little, I don't know how I'm doing in Qingzhou."

Jiangxia, Xiling, General's Mansion.

Huang Zu practiced archery when he had nothing to do, and unlike the generals of the land war, the requirements for archery in water warfare were very high, and it was a basic skill, and the technique could not be unfamiliar.

"Report! General, a letter from Lujiang! A sergeant ran in, holding a silk cloth sealed in fire paint.

"Lujiang?"

Huang Zu put down the iron bow in his hand and said suspiciously: "Who?" ”

"The person who came claimed to be a subordinate of the Marquis of Lanling."

"Marquis of Lanling?"

Huang Zu took the letter, uncovered the fire paint, and muttered in his mouth, "I have no contact with him, so write to me to do nothing." ”

His first reaction was that Lin Mo wanted to rebel against him, after all, Jiangxia was the most important county in Jingzhou's water vein, deterring the three counties of southern Hunan.

At the same time, he has a strong sailor in his hand, but Lu Lin's weakest is the sailor.

However, after opening the letter, the disdain on his face receded, replaced by a strong sense of interest, and the corners of his mouth slowly outlined, "Although I don't know if what he said is true or not, it is still worth my understanding." ”

Then he said to the sergeant: "There is a battle report from the Lujiang side, you have to notify me as soon as possible!" ”

"Whoa!"

The content of Lin Mo's letter was very simple, it was nothing more than that after Sun Ce was defeated, he would cross Anyang Mountain and enter the Jiangxia territory.

He wasn't sure if it was true, as it wasn't too likely.

The hatred between himself and him can't be counted for a few days, and he has long been dying, and he still dares to come to his own land?

Only Lin Mo said in his heart that he had occupied several ferries along the way, and he had no way to escape, if it was true, it seemed that there was only one way left to cross Yang'an Mountain and borrow Jiangxia.

Let's wait for the scout to report back, anyway, it will definitely take him longer to cross Yang'an Mountain.

If it is confirmed to be true, then you don't have to be polite, bring thousands of people to guard at the foot of Yang'an Mountain, you borrow the way, I borrow the head!

Recalling that in the first battle of Shaxian, his wife and children all died at the hands of Sun Ce, Huang Zu couldn't help clenching his fists.

Although he was ordered to hold the water division of Nanjun, Sun Ce's life was more important than anything else.

When he's coming, don't even think about running!
