Chapter 69: Going out?

The Shu road was difficult, and the Shu people were already accustomed to marching on rugged roads, so when it comes to the endurance of infantry marching, the Shu army was stronger than the Wu army. In addition, the Wu army had been cut off for two days, and the soldiers' throats were almost dry and their physical strength was almost broken due to lack of water. Even with Huang Chengyan leading the way, the Wu army still couldn't get faster. So soon, the Shu army had already chased after him.

A Dou took the lead and entered the Wu army, with the Shu army following behind him. Calculated that the Shu army had been resting for several days since Lu Xun entered the formation, so the Shu army was full of energy at this time.

In comparison, the soldiers in Jiangdong had already exhausted their physical strength due to lack of water and running around.

Battles on the battlefield are different from those of two people. The so-called swords without eyes are even more chaotic on the battlefield. Even a martial arts master can barely protect himself on the battlefield. Unless he practices martial arts at the level of Adou, or someone with extremely talented talents like Zhang Fei, dares to boast that Wanjun takes the general's head from it like taking objects.

On the battlefield, the most important thing is not to test the soldiers' martial arts, but to test the soldiers' reaction, endurance, strength, speed, etc. Therefore, most of the martial arts in the army are straightforward, very practical, and not much fancy. This also reflects a principle when the two armies confront each other, that is, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road.

Waiting for work, the Shu army rushed into the Jiangdong Army like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. At this time, the tired Jiangdong Army could not organize effective resistance at all. Even though they knew that the number of Shu soldiers was far less than that of their own, the Jiangdong soldiers chose to escape instead of resist.

During the chaos, many Wu army and the army were separated and fell into the formation alone. These lonely people were unable to get out of the stone formation at all, so they would be trapped in the stone formation.

"Governor, the Shu army is chasing me!" Ding Fenghui reported.

"Shu Army?" At this time, Lu Xun also heard the sound of fighting behind him.

"Have you ever found out how many people came to the Shu army?" Lu Xun asked hurriedly.

"Governor, the Shu army seems to have come with all their strength this time! There is already a chaotic tide behind!"

"This Zhang Ren is really good at picking the times!" Lu Xun cursed viciously.

Huang Chengyan, who was leading the way next to him, was not panicked on his face. Huang Chengyan smiled and said, "Governor Lu was wrong. The person who led the troops this time was not Zhang Ren!"

"Not Zhang Ren? Who is that?"

"This time the troops were led by Liu Chan, the Crown Prince of Shu Han!" Huang Chengyan replied.

Lu Xun has been trapped in the stone formation these days, and the news is blocked, so he naturally doesn't know that Adou has arrived at the front line, but Huang Chengyan has already found out from the Shu army that Liu Chan had already arrived here from Chengdu, and the leader of the army has actually become the crown prince.

"It's him!" At this time, Lu Xun had already understood. No wonder he was restrained everywhere in this battle. Unexpectedly, his opponent was the prince of Shu. Thinking about the day in Jingzhou, Adou played with Cao Cao and Lu Meng in his palm. Later, he dared to enter Cao alone and disturb Runan. In the end, he fled back to Hanzhong with hundreds of cavalry and ambushed Cao's general Hao Zhao!

All this is definitely not achieved through force and courage. What is needed most is strategy. If Lu Xun had known before that Adou had arrived at the front line, he might have been more careful and would not have suffered such a big loss. Thinking of this, Lu Xun shook his head helplessly. He knew himself and his enemy, and he would never be able to win in a hundred battles. He didn't even understand who the enemy was. This battle was not unfair!

Huang Chengyan next to him said, "Governor Lu, your army has lacked water sources for several days, and I believe that the soldiers are not physically strong now. At this time, your army will be defeated. You should break away from these eight formations as quickly as possible, find a safe place to rest and rectify, and fight again in an attempt!"

"Mr. Huang said, I will immediately send an order to make my brothers hurry up! The stone formation is right by the river. As long as I can leave this stone formation, there will be water to drink!" Lu Xun shouted.

"Run quickly, you're going out. After you go out, you'll have water to drink!"

"Run out of these stone formations quickly, there is a river outside!"

A shout like this resounded among the soldiers of Jiangdong. Cao Cao used to quench his thirst at plums, but now, Lu Xun's move is also very effective. With hope, the fatigue of the Jiangdong Army suddenly decreased by several points. Before he knew it, the Jiangdong Army's pace also increased a little faster.

A Dou frowned. The effect of chasing from behind was indeed good. As long as you can catch up, you can solve an enemy with one knife. After killing and scaring, the Jiangdong Army reduced its troops by about 3,000 people. However, Lu Xun had a total of more than 80,000 people. According to this situation, after Lu Xun went out, he could at most 20,000 people, and after Lu Xun's remaining 60,000 people were rested, plus the assistance of the 30,000 navy troops, it would still pose a serious threat to Bashu.

Moreover, these eight formations are built next to the river. After Lu Xun goes out, he can immediately replenish water sources. With water, the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong Army will be restored to several percent immediately. At that time, Lu Xun can completely rely on the overwhelming advantage of the number of people to organize a counterattack, and the situation will be very bad for the Shu Army.

We must find a way to keep most of the Jiangdong army in these eight formations. Even if Lu Xun runs away, it will cause enough losses to Jiangdong to make them unable to move westward.

Thinking of this, Adou shouted: "Zhang Ren, continue chasing me! Then Adou flew forward and used Wudang Tiyunzong's light skills to fly up to a huge rock in just three or two steps.

These huge rocks are as high as three stories high, and the smaller ones are as high as two. Although there are some piles of rocks mixed in, most of them are still very huge and difficult to destroy. It took Zhuge Liang several years to set up the stone formation, but fortunately, there is no shortage of such large stones near Wu Gorge, which saved Zhuge Liang a lot of time and resources in setting up the eight formations.

Adou jumped onto a huge rock in one step, and then used his light skills to jump out, and pointed his toes on the head of a Jiangdong soldier, and climbed another huge rock with the help of force.

At this time, whether it is the Wu army or the Shu army, you need to walk around the stone when walking in the formation. The route of travel is a curve, while A Dou is walking on the stone, and the route of travel is a straight line. In addition, A Dou's speed is already fast, and in a blink of an eye, A Dou throws it to the front.

Adou stopped on a huge rock, looked back and found that the location was almost the same. It was already in the middle of the Jiangdong Army. There were tens of thousands of Jiangdong Army in front and behind. At this time, the Jiangdong people fled forward because they were all hurriedly, and no one noticed Adou on his head.

A Dou turned over and fell down the boulder, landed in front of the boulder, then suddenly raised his breath and pushed the boulder with both hands. The nearly 1,000-pound boulder was instantly piled up by A Dou, crossing the middle of the Wu army, and killed several Wu army soldiers.

The sudden fall of the huge rock caught many Jiangdong troops off guard. At this time, A Dou rushed to another larger huge rock, used all his strength again, jumped up and pushed it with his palms. The huge rock fell to the ground with a bang, splashing countless gravels and flew around.

Adou was very tired even when he pushed down these two huge rocks. After all, Adou was just a person, and everyone had to have a limit. Even if Wudang was good at leveraging his strength, Adou still needed to breathe a little after pushing these two thousand-pound huge rocks.

However, these two huge rocks were crossing the road, which temporarily blocked the Jiangdong Army's route. The Jiangdong Army had to spare the fallen huge rock in order to continue moving forward.

At this time, A Dou's energy slowed down a little. A Dou took a step and rushed to the front of a pile of gravels. He kicked hard with his feet. The gravel immediately flew towards Wu Jun, and then A Dou pushed down a huge rock again.

A Dou was busy for the past half day. It seemed that all the behaviors of brave men did not kill many Wu soldiers, but it caused a great psychological blow to the Wu army. More importantly, it caused quite a lot of chaos to the nearby Wu army. When the two armies were fighting, the most feared thing was chaos. If the army had chaos, it would often shake the morale of the army and the army had no intention of fighting. When one of the parties fled, the chaos would be even more fatal!

Moreover, chaos is often contagious, just like in the army, sometimes fighting between two people often causes an armed battle. Now these Jiangdong children are trapped and attacked by the Shu army, which is a time when psychological crimes are fragile, so this small-scale riot spreads to all sides like a plague.

Since Adou ran to the front alone, Zhang Ren was afraid that Adou would have something to do, so he didn't care about killing the Wu army. He led his soldiers forward like sharp knives. If he had just fled to the Wu army, Zhang Ren would still take care of it. Now Zhang Ren was worried about Adou's comfort, and Zhang Ren was too lazy to care about the Wu army dispersing to both sides, but just led his people to follow the direction of the Wu army's march, looking for Adou.

"There seems to be a riot in the soldiers behind. Governor, please leave first, and finally go and cut off the back!" Before Lu Xun could agree, Gan Ning led his troops to the back.

On the other hand, Zhang Ren also rushed to the front with a horse. He saw several fast giant rocks in the middle, and underneath the giant rocks, there were several Jiangdong troops pressing down. Next to one of the giant rocks, A Dou picked up a Park Knife from somewhere and was fighting with the Wu army. Park Knife was obviously not a high-end product. Several gaps had already been knocked out on it, but it did not affect A Dou's use at all.

The battlefield is not as sharp as the world. Although Leng Ye Jian is sharp, it is too thin, and it is indeed not as easy to use as a thicker knife, so Adou casually grabbed a Pu sword and fought with the enemy.

"Your Highness, Zhang Ren is here to help you!" Zhang Ren shouted loudly, and rushed towards A Dou with his gun.

Gan Ning grabbed a soldier and shouted: "What are you messing with? I'll kill you again!"

When the unlucky soldier saw that it was Gan Ning, he hurriedly said, "General Gan, there is an enemy general over there, which is very powerful. Many of our troops behind us have been dispersed by him!"

"Hmph!" Gan Ning snorted coldly, threw down the soldier, and rushed towards the direction pointed by the soldier with his troops.

As the soldier said, the Shu army behind had arrived, and it was indeed extremely chaotic.

Gan Ning secretly complained that if this continues, the Shu army will continue to chase after him, and the Wu army will suffer a great loss.

Gan Ning shouted loudly: "Don't panic, Gan Ning is here!"

The soldiers of Jiangdong hurriedly looked back and saw Gan Ning's big flag at first sight. They immediately had a backbone in their hearts, and Gan Ning also began to lead people to organize scattered resistance.

Looking at the empty earth in front of him, Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief and finally walked out!

"Thank you Mr. Huang for your help. I am grateful for your life-saving gratitude! In the future, I, Lu Xun, will definitely repay His Highness the King of Wu!" Lu Xun said.

Huang Chengyan nodded. He had done so many things himself to please Sun Quan and give the Huang family in Jingzhou better development. Huang Chengyan said, "Governor Lu, since you have come out, I will say goodbye!"

Watching Huang Chengyan leave, Lu Xun turned around and looked at the stone formation behind. Crafts of shouts of killing were still coming from the formation. The troops behind this matter were still fighting with the Shu army.

At this time, Lu Xun did not lose his calmness. What the army needs most now is to drink water and restore its strength, and not far away is the river. But if Lu Xun ordered to drink water, the soldiers would inevitably be in chaos, and it would be troublesome to reorganize the troops at that time.

"Transfer the order, set up the formation in the river, and the soldiers drink water alternately to rest and wait for the people behind!" Lu Xun said.

At this time, the continuous Wu army dragged their tired bodies out of the formation until the afternoon, and there were fewer people gradually. Then when the sun was about to set, no one could see anyone coming out of the formation, but they could still hear the shouts of killing in the formation. This means that there was still fighting inside!

"Count the people immediately!" Lu Xun said.

The generals received the order, and before they could even execute Lu Xun's orders, Ding Feng said from the side: "Governor, General Gan Ning is still in the formation and has not come out!"

Lu Xun frowned. The last time he didn't know how powerful the stone formation was, he entered the formation to rescue Gan Ning, but almost wiped out the entire army. Lu Xun naturally wouldn't make the same mistake twice. Now that he has seen the power of these eight formations, Lu Xun certainly dared not enter the stone formation to rescue.

In fact, everyone knows at this time that people who are still trapped in the formation, including Gan Ning, are probably really in danger. The Wu army in the formation is already exhausted and has no combat power. Although the army outside Lu Xun has recovered a little physical strength, they are afraid of the stone formation and dare not go in to rescue them, so they can only let the Wu army in the formation die on their own.

Gradually, as time goes by, the shouting of killing becomes smaller and thinner.

In the array.

There are only more than a hundred people left by Gan Ning.

These more than a hundred people are old subordinates of Gan Ning, many of them are brothers who followed Gan Ning as water thieves back then. However, these people are now wounded and exhausted, but none of them shouted to surrender. Everyone silently surrounded Gan Ning and looked at the surrounding Shu army vigilantly.

The Shu army continued to surround, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller, gradually approaching Gan Ning.

Looking at the brothers who had been born around him for so many years, Gan Ning felt a little excited and guilty.

"Brothers, I was the one who harmed you! If I hadn't been greedy for me and made great progress, how could I have implicated the army and suffered such a defeat!"
