Chapter 109(1/2)
"Beep~~beep~~!" The sound of the horn echoed in the southeast, long and heavy, and for a moment it seemed to suppress all the sounds on the battlefield.
The soldiers of the two armies in the melee were slightly stunned and immediately joined the battle.
.
"The reinforcements have arrived, our army will win!" Wen Pin completely ignored whether the enemy or friend came, and after he cut off Lu Meng with one sword, he roared wildly.
The Jingzhou army is about to collapse. If the morale of the army cannot be stabilized in time, a great defeat will inevitably be prevented. Even if the enemy is really coming, stabilizing one's own troops is the top priority.
Wen Pin was in the middle of the battlefield and could not see clearly the situation in the southeast, but he actually shouted "Reinforcements have arrived", which shocked the surrounding generals and generals of Jingzhou.
"The reinforcements have arrived, our army will win!" A few nimble people quickly understood Wen Pin's intention and shouted in agreement.
The other soldiers were confused and thought that reinforcements had arrived, and they all showed ecstasy expressions. The low morale really increased suddenly. They waved their swords and guns and stubbornly tangled with the enemy, fighting for a glimmer of hope.
.
Zhou Yu's right hand trembled slightly, his pale face was full of pain, and his eyes were desperate and unwilling to look at the unknown soldiers approaching rapidly from the southeast. Although the distance was still far and he could only see a blurry shadow, the soldiers marched extremely fast, and the footsteps of many soldiers were still neatly sounded.
Based on Zhou Yu's years of experience in fighting, you can tell at a glance that this is definitely a well-trained elite soldier. Who else can be Zhang Fei, who can have such elite soldiers and appear at such a critical moment?
At this time, Zhou Yu knew that the arrangement of "deceiving surrender and delaying troops" that he had made before had completely failed——————Zhang Fei was clearly waiting for the best opportunity to give Sun Jun the most fatal blow.
Now that Zhang Feijun appears from the southeast, he has intercepted Sun Jun’s retreat.
A helpless and painful choice was placed in front of Zhou Yu——either fight to the end or withdraw from the battle before Zhang Feijun completely cut off his back.
If you fight to the end, the entire army will inevitably be wiped out! Judging from the dust level, the Zhang Fei army appeared at most no more than 5,000 people from the rear, but even so, these thousands of Tiger Ben troops are definitely not something that Sun Jun and other "semi-new soldiers" can resist, not to mention that the rest of the troops under Zhang Fei must be rushing towards this place.
The worst thing is that the Jingzhou army seemed to have recovered some fighting spirit when it collapsed.
If you withdraw from the battle, even if you can retain some military strength, the hope of turning the situation around will be almost completely shattered. All you can do is to survive for the rest of your time.
.
Fight or retreat? Zhou Yu's expression couldn't help but change, and his brows frowned deeply.
At this time, the front of the "unidentified soldiers" that rushed to attack was less than 400 steps. Whether it was the armor or the battle flag that was waving in the wind, they all proved the correctness of Zhou Yu's guess.
He was held high, and the words "Battle" on a dark green battle flag at the front were clearly visible.
"General Li Feng-Wei!"
.
"Wu Dang Flying Army, cut off the enemy's retreat!"
"Tiger spear, bear spear, wolf teeth. Array to charge and defeat the enemy!"
Wei Yan took the lead, raised the Banmen sword in his hand to the highest point, and roared and ordered: "If I am invincible, our army will win!"
"I am invincible!" Thousands of Tiger Masters roared in unison, and the sound shook the sky.
The complete team was quickly divided into two, and Guan Ping led the Wudang Flying Army to the west. The third battalion of Tiger Spear, Bear Spear, and Wolf Fang were led by Wei Yan and Chen Dao to form a neat attack formation, and quickly and chaoticly attacked the battlefield.
"Tiger Spear~Invincible!"
"Bear Gun~Yuan!"
The expanded tiger spear and bear spear 2nd battalion.
Although it is not as strong as before, its morale is still as strong as before. The veterans have set the best example for the newly-entered soldiers. The four-square-meter spear formed a dense forest of guns, and roared like a mountain of mountains and seas, which is terrifying.
.
"...Send orders, retreat!" Zhou Yu's face was pale, his eyebrows were frowned in the shape of a "chuan", and his hand suddenly waved the flag. He shouted in his extreme grief and anger.
The horn soldiers and the flag-holding soldiers immediately passed Zhou Yu's orders.
Hearing the sound of the retreating horn, although Lu Meng, Zhu Ran, Jia Hua and other generals were extremely reluctant, they still followed the order.
Zhu Ran and Jia Hua called out soldiers and guarded Sun Yi to lean towards Zhou Yu, while Lu Meng led his troops to entangle the Jingzhou army, providing convenience for Sun Yi's retreat.
"Brother Gongjin, why should you retreat?" Sun Yi rushed to Zhou Yu's side and asked suspiciously. "A moment later, our army will defeat the Jingzhou army, and it will not be too late to return to the south to attack the enemy in the south..." Sun Yi has been fighting among the chaotic army.
I don’t know much about the situation of the enemy, nor do I realize the seriousness of the problem.
"The gun cart attacked and sieged like fire!" Before Sun Yi could finish his words, he was interrupted by the neat shouts of Tiger and Bear Camp No. 2.
The "gun cart" that was moving forward rolled in and was invincible. The Sun soldiers who were blocked by Zhou Yu were unable to resist at all. They quickly retreated and the crowd scattered like split waves.
"Zhu Ran, Jia Hua! Lead the army to break through the enemy's obstacles and evacuate the lord!" Zhou Yu had no time to answer Sun Yi, and rushed to Zhu Ran, Jia Hua shouted, "Try to find the gap to break through!"
"Yes!" The two of them took the order and shouted at the soldiers...
At the forefront of this melee, an army of more than 10,000 people rushed to the battlefield in the north, with a distance of less than 10 miles.
.
...
"Kill, kill all these dog thieves..."
Under the heavy siege of Wudang Feijun, Lu Mengru was a trapped beast. Although he was covered in scars on his body, he roared and his big sword waving like the wind in his hand.
Lu Meng, the head of the palace, fought hard until the end, and led the remnants of the army to retreat, but at this time there were only 3,400 soldiers left by him.
But Lu Mengdi's death battle achieved his goal—Sun Yi, Zhou Yu and others led the remaining troops to fight bloody battles. Although there were no casualties, they finally made a path and fled to the south.
Annoyed that Wei Yan, who failed to capture and kill Sun Yi and Zhou Yu, immediately commanded the troops to intercept the remnants of Lu Meng's army.
"Lu Meng. You have no way to escape, why not surrender?" Guan Ping pulled his horse and slashed his sword, shouting at Lu Meng in a deep voice.
Guan Ping had once fought with Lu Meng in Taiping County and admired his skills very much. He also saw that he could fight to the death for Sun Yi and others' palace guards to such an extent, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy.
Lu Meng's helmet was lost, his sword fell down, and his rebellious eyes looked straight at Guan Ping. He spat on the ground with a red blood stain, and only replied with one word: "Bah!"
"Crill~!" Seeing that the commander was humiliated and had a strong sense of honor, the flying soldiers all opened the crossbow in their hands and aimed at Lu Meng and the dozens of remaining soldiers beside him.
Guan Ping raised his hand and stopped the movement of the flying soldiers. Then he rode his horse forward a few steps, lifted the Qinglong sword with his right hand and leaned forward with his left hand. He stretched out his fingers and aimed at Lu Meng, and took a few light moves.
Such actions, coupled with Guan Ping's cold expression on his face, were particularly provocative.
Lu Meng was also a young and energetic person. How could he withstand the excitement? He endured his injuries and fatigue, and rushed towards Guan Ping with a slap in his horse and danced his sword.
Guan Ping watched Lu Meng rush over coldly, without moving, and did not move until the two riders were less than 10 steps apart. He grabbed the horse's belly with both legs.
Accompanied by the conflict between war horses, Guan Ping's big sword turned into a tumbling green dragon, and opened his mouth and rushed towards Lu Meng with blood.
"Clang~!" The two swords collided, and the stars burst into pieces, causing a sharp sound.
"Huh~!" Lu Meng, who had almost lost his strength, could no longer resist the powerful force coming from the Qinglong Sword. The sword in his hand was stimulated and soared into the sky.
Seeing that the Qinglong Sword was slashing straight. He was really unable to dodge, Lu Meng simply closed his eyes and waited for death.
As soon as he was about to reach his neck, Guan Ping flipped his wrist quickly, and the Qinglong Sword slid upwards next to Lu Meng's head, and the sharp blade easily cut the messy hair into several strands.
Just as the Qinglong Sword was about to stay away from Lu Meng's head, Guan Ping exerted a fierce force on his arm, and the heavy back of the knife hit Lu Meng's neck hard.
"Uh~!" Lu Meng opened his eyes in shock. At the moment when his vision was about to blur, he saw Guan Ping's smile slightly, and then his whole body fell to the right.
Guan Pingzong stepped forward. He grabbed Lu Mengruo's fallen body and placed it in front of him. Then he stopped the war horse and pointed the Qinglong sword at the remaining enemy soldiers.
"Bang...Bang..." If Guan Ping said anything else, the soldiers who lost all their fighting spirit simply threw away their weapons and knelt down and asked to surrender...
"Not precept!" Guan Ping raised the Qinglong Battle Sword and shouted loudly.
"Not the way!" The flying soldiers around him echoed in unison and resounded throughout the battlefield.
.
Relying on the timely assistance of friendly troops, Kuai Liang's army escaped the fate of the collapse of the entire army. After repelling the enemy, many Jingzhou soldiers could not help but fall to the ground and breathe.
"Brother Junzhi, look!" Wenpin pointed to Wudang Feijun who was shouting in unison in the distance, and said to Wang Wei beside him.
"The Tiger Ben's Master!" Wang Wei's eyes shot with envy, and he nodded slightly and said, "These thousands of people can be called a rare Tiger Ben's Master!"
"If you have military spirits, you will become a tiger!" Wen Pin sighed and said, "Zhang Fei is indeed well-known for being able to train such a hero. No wonder the Sun family was defeated by this person. It's a pity that our army in Jingzhou is tens of thousands, and it's hard to find such a hero!"
"I hope I won't confront him in the future!" Wang Wei said something he thought was quite discouraging.
"..." Wen Pin nodded silently, looked at the flying army again, and turned his horse toward Kuai Liang's place.
………………………………
After a cup of tea
"If General Zhang had not urgently ordered General Wei to come to help, our army would be in danger..." Kuai Liang, who was slightly embarrassed, bowed and bowed earnestly to me and thanked me for leading the army to the ground just now.
"I belong to the alliance, why thank you!" I waved my hand and said with some confusion, "I dare to ask Mr. Kuai, what happened, why is your army so far in such a situation?" The embarrassment of the Jingzhou army was really beyond my expectations. The nearly 40,000 Jingzhou army that had originally advanced southward, probably less than 10,000 people were left in front of me.
"Shame..." Kuai Liang had learned about the incident from the soldiers of Cai Mao's remnants of the army, but the brothers of Cai Mao had already escaped and disappeared. "Cai Degui (Cai Mao) was trapped in Zhou Yu's fire attack, and almost all the soldiers in his army were gone.
Then Zhou Yu led his troops to follow Cai Degui's defeated army and used him as the front drive. He disrupted our army's formation and even our army was in this dilemma. Fortunately, General Wei arrived in time and attacked Zhou Yu's side and finally resolved the difficulties of our army!"
After saying that, Kuai Liang also thanked Wei Yan beside me: "Thank you General Wei for your help!"
"Yan is just doing his order!" Wei Yan bowed his hand and said. Facing Wei Yan's slightly cold and arrogant expression, Kuai Liang did not look embarrassed and still smiled.
"Sun Yi, where is Zhou Yu?" I asked after changing the subject.
"Zhou Yu, Sun Yi led thousands of remaining troops to break through our army's blockade and retreated south!" Wei Yan replied quickly. "The last general has sent a scout to follow him!"
"Director Kuai, due to the situation of your army, it is probably not appropriate to fight again for the time being!" I nodded, turned around and said to Kuai Liang, "Please leave it to our army for pursuing the rebellion of the Sun family! Fei will capture and kill Sun Yi and others!"
