Chapter 017 The Jingzhou Army in Pursuit

At dawn, the endless grasslands in the Nanyang Basin were just smeared with the first red glow, and the sound of horns came.

There was still smoke rising in the camp. The man called Zong Shuai was awakened and a carp stood up from the felt. He narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.

A group of troops arranged in military formations were quickly approaching their camp. His heart suddenly sank.

"Enemy attack! Prepare to fight" He let out a loud scream. The people in the camp were already in panic, and the men were looking for their weapons everywhere like crazy. The elderly, weak, women and children gathered in a group and squeezed in the middle.

These people totaled only 1,6700. Apart from the elderly, weak, women and children, there were more than 700 men who could fight. There were at least 800 military formations on the opposite side, and they were obviously well-trained and well-equipped regular troops.

The men were finally ready, and each of them lined up in several rows with their weapons, facing each other in a tit-for-tat way.

The other party was getting closer and closer. When they were less than ten battles away from the camp, they suddenly shouted and stopped.

The soldiers in the first row of soldiers pestled the big shield on the ground to form a tight shield wall. At the same time, the short spear in their hands fell down. The shield poked out a steel spear with a cold light between the gaps of the shield.

The crossbowman behind the shield also holds a bow and a arrow, making a flail toward the position in front of the shield wall at any time.

The sound effects produced by the neat movements came, which was terrifying. The weapons in the men's hands trembled slightly, while the women and children behind them shivered in the cold wind in the early morning and hugged each other.

A general from the other side shouted: "We are the official army of Zhuyang Marquis State. You can quickly put down your weapons and accept the questioning. Otherwise, you will be killed as bandits!"

Then all the soldiers shouted loudly: "Don't kill those who surrender! Resist stubbornly and kill them!"

The bearded man next to Zongshuai said guiltily: "Brother... Zongshuai, we can't fight this head-on. A hero will not suffer any loss in front of us. Let's... let's withdraw."

The "Shuai Zong" glared at the sight and said, "Retreat? Where to retreat? We are strong and might run away, but do you want the elders, women and children?"

Then he swallowed and spitted, closed his eyes and shouted as if he was determined: "The sword and shield are in front of him, the archer is on the arrow, ready to fight..."

Before he finished speaking, two loud shouts came from him: "Don't do it, we'll surrender." Then more than 300 people at the other end of the team threw weapons and crossbows to the ground one after another.

The "Shuai Zong" sighed and said, "The Zhu family, the head of the Xie family, why are you so confused? Do you think you can survive if you surrender? He will definitely hand us over to Liu Biao and Kuai family... the boys, let me kill you!"

After saying that, he launched a suicide charge towards Zhuyang Army, and the bearded man followed closely behind him. The hundreds of people around him were stunned and rushed forward one after another.

In almost the blink of an eye, "Zong Shuai" was shot in the face, his limbs were stiff and he fell to the ground.

This arrow was shot by Dian Qing. Following this arrow, dozens of arrows also rushed towards him, shooting the man with the bearded man and the people who rushed to the front but did not use a shield to cover him with their shields to the ground.

The crossbowman of "Zong Shuai" also shot a round of arrows, but basically they hit the shield wall or crossed the opponent's three armies, without any effect. The subordinates of "Zong Shuai" who had just begun to charge couldn't help but stop when they saw this scene.

At this time, the Zhuyang Army did not continue to attack, but just pressed the shield wall forward a few steps. Another person in the formation shouted: "For the last warning, put down the weapon, otherwise you will be killed."

"Surrender, we're down." Someone in the team took the lead and shouted, and the men threw down their weapons one after another...

.........

After careful interrogation, Feng Yu learned about the origin of this group of people and the reasons why they came here.

It turned out that they were three clans in the Dangyang area. The so-called clans are armed separatist forces formed by the chaotic times, with clan relatives and village party as the links.

Aristocratic families with imperial responsibilities and official backgrounds would call them clan thieves because they often disobey the control of these bureaucratic separatist forces.

Similarly, the thieves of all clans in Jingzhou were also thorns in Liu Biao's eyes and thorns in flesh. If these thieves were not eliminated, the Liu Biao or the Kuai family and the Cai family would never really rule Jingzhou.

So, a few days ago, Liu Biao set up a Hongmen Banquet and gave invitations to more than 50 leaders of the sect and tribes, asking them to go to Jiangling to attend the banquet.

Although the clan department is called a thief, they do not really want to be a thief. They just want to have their own place and independent space in this chaotic world like those aristocratic families, and at the same time recognize each other with the aristocratic families or county magistrates representing the court.

So after receiving Liu Biao's invitation, they went on time without much thought. After the banquet began, Liu Biao threw the cup as a sign, and a large number of knives and axes who had already been ambushed came out, and they raised their swords and fell, cutting down more than fifty bloody heads.

But they escaped from the three sect leaders in the Dangyang area. Of course, this was not because they were able to break through the encirclement among the troops. But when they entered Jiangling City, someone informed them of the conspiracy. They hurriedly returned to their respective cities day and night.

Liu Biao's army then arrived, and they had to take their own people to flee. They heard that the Yellow Turban Army suffered the most wars and epidemics in Nanyang that year, and there was no one inhabited. Moreover, they were closer to Dangyang and were a plain. The most important thing was outside Liu Biao's sphere of influence. So they fled to Nanyang.

When approaching Xiangyang, the Peng Zongshuai, the leader of the three families, believed that the abandoned city of Xiangyang was a good place to live for a long time. The spy found that a fort had been built here and thought it was the local apostle, so he sneaked into the fort in the early morning of yesterday, intending to take it as his own and merge its subordinates.

Unexpectedly, when they fought with the people in the fort, they were bleeding and returned in vain. They had to continue moving north and find a new place to settle down. As a result, they met Zhuyang Army this morning.

After listening, Feng Yu thought to himself: [So that's it]. At this time, the system prompt sound of completing the task came, and his system package had received the task reward items. The mountain scout training has also been unlocked.

When Feng Yu was thinking about using what to use to collect these people into his own group, there were waves of drums and trumpets coming from the south. He looked at him and saw countless flags and flags stretching out on the horizon in the south, and another large army was moving towards him.

He immediately realized that this must be the pursuit of Jingzhou. Feng Yu was a little puzzled, [It was just a few sects, all of which had already driven out of his territory. As for the fact that he still had to urge the army, would he pursue it so relentlessly?]

In a moment, the Jingzhou army rolled in and lined up outside the thirty battles south of the camp. Together with the Zhuyang Army, these refugees from the clan were sandwiched in the middle. Feng Yu estimated that the Jingzhou army had a force of 1,500.

Surrounded by several cavalry captains, a cavalry flew out of the Jingzhou army. Feng Yu looked carefully, but realized that it was Kuai Yue.
