Chapter 145: Confrontation Again
Although Zhou Yu and others had already run wildly through the intestine path between many warehouses, they did not have the speed of the fire spreading faster, not to mention that waves of rockets were still shooting everywhere, igniting the rest of the warehouses.
After Sun Jian and his group finally escaped from the area where the warehouse was located, there were only less than a hundred people left in the escort. Even Sun Jian and others were all covered in dust and very embarrassed.
"Lord, there is water!" Han Dang exclaimed, and Sun Jian immediately saw a row of water tanks placed along the wall, and the water inside was so full that it was almost overflowing.
And on this wall, there was a small door just one person tall.
Sun Jian hurriedly shouted, "Drizzle it in water, smash it open the door, and rush out."
Han Dang and others hurriedly took their remaining personal soldiers to the edge of the water tank.
Sun Jian took off his armor directly, pressed it into the water, and quickly took it out, continued to wrap it up, and asked Zhou Yu, "Can Gongjin count it if he pinched his fingers? Otherwise, how would he know that the back door would be here?"
Even in such a situation, Zhou Yu was calm and confident: "My lord praised me. My nephew is just a mortal, how can he have such skills? I just saw that although there are many paths between warehouses around me, only the footprints on that small road were significantly updated, and there were many water stains left in it. In addition, the bodies of the enemy soldiers were wet, so I concluded that the enemy must have a water source here."
"And there must be many water tanks in the warehouse, but after I came in, I never saw one. Therefore, my nephew decided that they had gathered all the water tanks in one place. After the ambushers here must have come in from the back door, they immediately got wet and set fire to ambush our army. From this, it is inferred that the back door is also here."
"Okay, okay, Gongjin's virtuous nephew is really an incomparable national sage. Sun can..."
"Swoosh..." A sharp arrow shot, interrupting the conversation between the two. Then, waves of noisy footsteps followed.
"The thief is here, keep up quickly and must not be allowed to escape."
A Han army general ran over quickly with a team of soldiers, and Han army appeared in other directions.
"Lord, please leave, I will wait to stop them." Huang Gai protected Sun Jian behind him, held a crescent halberd in both hands, and looked at the Han army rushing towards him.
Han Dang, Ding Feng, Zu Mao and others were about to lead the army to fight, but Zhou Yu suddenly slapped his hands: "I have it!"
Sun Jian showed joy: "Did Gongjin have an idea?"
Zhou Yu said quickly: "Please order all soldiers to exit from the small gate, and then block the door from the outside."
Although Sun Jian was a little confused, he still followed this suggestion.
He greeted the generals, and then took Zhou Yu and Lu Su, first opened the back door and ran out, while Han Dang and Huang Gai were behind the door and temporarily resisting the Han army's offensive.
"Shoot the arrows." The Han army shot waves of crossbow arrows, killing the few remaining soldiers in Jiangdong.
However, Jiangdong was in the end, there were few soldiers and horses. Even though this small gate could only accommodate one person at a time, under Sun Jian's order and command, all of them ran out quickly. Even though the Han army soldiers wanted to come forward to obstruct, none of them came to Han Dang and Huang Gai's opponents. After they were killed, they used their bodies to resist the Han army's crossbows.
"How annoyed, how dare you do this?"
When a Han general saw his soldiers, he was shot like a hedgehog by his bow and arrow, he was so angry that he was furious.
"Run out for me and capture Sun Jian alive, and the other thieves will be killed by swords!"
While shouting, he rushed forward and kicked the seemingly vulnerable wooden door.
Originally, in his expectation, such a small door could not withstand his angrily kick, and would naturally fall to the ground.
But this is how things are. The more you feel that he should be like this, he often has to develop in the opposite direction of you.
The wooden door just made a "bang" sound and trembled, and there was no reaction.
"Hmm?" The general was furious and was about to kick him again, but suddenly another general behind him exclaimed: "No!"
Then, he felt that someone pushed him away from behind, causing him to stagger a few steps, and then fell to the ground.
"Who is mixed..."
Before he could speak out his scolding, he saw dozens of rockets shooting in from outside the wall, and two of them fell to the place where they were leading the front.
"Good guy, there are fire notes on those comrades who died in battle. They must have tear off the corners of their clothes and wrapped the arrows to fight back. Everyone quickly retreated. Through this wall, the rebels' bows and arrows would be shot upwards through the wall, and it would be difficult to shoot from a distance."
A general led hundreds of Han troops to retreat in great strides. Sure enough, when the second wave of rockets came, the nearest fell just as soon as they flew over the wall, and the far away was only thirty or forty steps.
The general who kicked the door before jumped up in anger: "Wow, I'm so angry. It's clear that our army used fire attack to deal with them, but now they're counterattacked us by their fire attack. If this is spread, will we lose all our old face? No matter what, if a family fights to death today, they will rush out and die with them."
As soon as he lifted the big knife in his hand, he rushed over. The general who had just pushed him hurriedly grabbed it: "Old Niu, don't be reckless, be careful of the enemy's ambush."
"Ambushes his ancestors!" The old bull shook him away: "If we can't stop them and capture Sun Jian, we all have to work on military law, and we are all dying, so we might as well give up."
After saying that, he took a big step forward and jumped directly into the water tank. He easily stabilized his body on the edge of the narrow water tank. He then raised his hands over his head, grabbed the wall, and then easily turned up.
"The thief suffer...wow, old thief stop running..."
The old bull shouted angrily and jumped down quickly. His shout shocked the rest of the Han soldiers inside.
"Sun Jian ran away? Damn it, chase it."
The general kicked open the small door and rushed out. Sure enough, he saw a figure disappearing from a corner more than a hundred steps away on the right, and the old cow was chasing him quickly.
"Good guy, let's get rid of the shells. The terrain in Hangu Pass, hum, our brothers can touch the door with their eyes closed, and everyone chased them separately. Let them escape, and everyone knows what the outcome will be."
When the general mentioned this, all the Han soldiers could not help but tremble. The situation was originally a sure victory. If the enemy general led many generals to escape together, there would be nothing else. On his side, the main general beheaded, and the rest of the soldiers were all whipped from forty to eighty. The whip in the army was not something that people could receive. Not to mention forty whips, even ten whips would be enough to make people live worse than death.
Under the control of this fear, the hundreds of soldiers were divided into three teams in just a few breaths and ran towards three different directions. These three roads, without exception, could quickly lead to the city gate.
The old cow chased several people who saw him turning into the corner of the street with his own eyes, thinking about the previous miserable situation of his men, and felt extremely hatred in his heart.
If the two armies were killed in a bad position when they were fighting, Lao Niu would not be so angry. However, seeing that the victory was about to be great, these people died in the enemy's despicable conspiracy, which made this general who was so jealous of evil that he was a little unreasonable became even more angry.
He soon chased the corner, holding the weapon's right hand, and couldn't help but hold on to it a little more.
Just as he turned around, he shouted loudly: "Thief, give me back..."
The sound came to an abrupt end, and the old Niu's originally unmoved figure suddenly stopped.
The reason is very simple. At only about twenty steps in front of him, Han Dang bent his bow and arrow and stood firm, clearly waiting here for a long time.
"You..." This is the last word left by Lao Niu in his life. A sharp arrow penetrated his throat and fell to the ground with a bang.
Another general, with a team of soldiers, rushed around several streets and alleys, and saw Huang Gai and more than a dozen Jiangdong soldiers on the street, which made them overjoyed.
"The thief army is here, everyone."
The Han army had nearly 200 soldiers, armor and weapons, all of which were above Jiangdong. Facing the enemy's only ten people, the garrison leader who led the team naturally felt that he was sure to win.
Huang Gai turned around and looked at the Han army rushing towards him. He only smiled a little disdainful, and then led the dozen soldiers around him into an alley.
Soon, the situation that General Niu had faced before appeared on the general again.
On another street corner, Sun Jian personally cut off the head of a Han army general, then waved the ancient ingot knife, and led more than 20 people to kill nearly half of the hundred Han soldiers who had lost command and suffered morale. After covering their left arm stabbed by a Han army soldier, he walked back excitedly, and was unaware of the bleeding wound.
"Haha, it's so satisfying. The soldiers of the court are really extraordinary. They have been ambushed and lost their commander. They can still have such combat effectiveness. If they have more than thirty or forty people, we are afraid that we will still be here today."
Zhou Tai, who had a scar on his face, bandaged Sun Jian with his calloused hands, and then knelt directly in front of Sun Jian.
"The last general is incompetent and fails to protect the lord. Please punish him."
Sun Jian laughed and helped him up: "What did Youping say? I personally led the team to ambush and fight. This is a military order. How could you blame you? If you hadn't blocked me just now, my injury would be several times worse than it is now. By the way, what about the wound on your back?"
Zhou Tai clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your lord's concern, I will only treat the vulgar man with thick skin and thick flesh, and some skin injuries, which is not worth mentioning."
Sun Jian looked at Zhou Yu: "Gongjin's clever plan is defeated. He thought that our army had some remaining soldiers, and it was a bad idea to divide the troops again. Now it seems that it is really amazing."
Zhou Yu bowed and said, "The lord is too good. Most of the generals in the imperial army have been trained from small soldiers. They are often veterans who are experienced in battles. Their martial arts and knowledge may be far inferior to those of the generals, but their combat experience and insights are not necessarily inferior. Therefore, they will inevitably rely on their familiarity with the terrain of this place and despise our army, so they divide their troops to try to quickly find our army and then attack them from all sides. This kind of underestimation of the enemy and the convenience of street fighting can be used by our army."
When Sun Jian heard this, he was very happy: "I have Gongjin, who is better than his 100,000 elite soldiers."
"Lord, don't be careless." Lu Su suddenly said: "Although our army is a small victory, if there is no accident, the more than a hundred personal soldiers who fled the fire this time will probably be almost killed or injured when they ambush the enemy. In the eyes of their subordinates, they should rush back to Chengguan as soon as possible and join the major general and the army to ensure that there is no danger."
Sun Jian also showed a solemn expression: "Zi Jing's words are reasonable. This matter should not be delayed. It should be quickly reorganized and fight back again. On the one hand, it can defeat the enemy, and on the other hand, it can save Han Dang, Huang Gai and other generals."
Just as these people were about to leave, a team of Han troops suddenly appeared at the end of the street.
Two figures, riding war horses, slowly came to the front of the two armies. After Zhou Yu saw one of them, his eyes suddenly opened wide.
"It's you?"
Zhuge Liang gently waved the feather fan: "Haha, this person must be Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin, right? I heard about the reputation of the Gong for a long time. Today, under the crisis, he can quickly find vitality, make quick decisions, have high knowledge, accurate vision, and quick thinking. This shows that Zhou Lang is well-known, and Liang admires it very much."
Zhou Yu was a little surprised: "You are the sworn brother of the eldest prince, Zhuge Kongming of Zhuge, Langya?"
"Yes, it's so untalented, but he can actually get into Gongjin's ears. Liang feels honored."
Zhuge Liang responded with fists.
Zhou Yu's face turned dark: "I have made such a deep plan. It's also a big shot outside Hefei City that almost killed Bo Fu, right?"
"It's just that the tricks of the devil are not worth mentioning. If Brother Gongjin is interested, I will prepare a little wine tonight. How about you and I talk about the past and present?"
Zhou Yu's face first sank, then said proudly: "You are so confident that you can capture all of us alive?"
Zhuge Liang laughed twice: "Where is an absolute thing in the world? What's more, it's for an unparalleled master like Gongjin. Liang was young and had a shallow knowledge. Fortunately, he was able to fight with the master. This is a great comfort for his life. Success or failure is just based on the will of heaven."
After saying that, he waved his feather fan and the generals leading the troops beside him rushed over with the soldiers behind him.
"Go away..."
Sun Jian pulled Zhou Yu and Lu Su and was about to escape backwards, but he saw a group of Han troops appearing on the other side of the street and alley, holding big knives and attacking each other.
"Go here." Han Dang protected his lord and was about to run from a fork in the middle of the streets, but the same scene also appeared again.
There were hundreds of Han soldiers running towards them in a total of three exits. The situation was unsolvable. Now Sun Jian is so powerful that he also showed despair.
"God will destroy me, Sun Jian..."
Zhou Yu grabbed Sun Jian and Lu Su's hands and looked firm: "Don't panic, lord, Bo Fu Shaoqing will arrive. This place is small. We rely on the terrain. As long as we hold on for a while, we can wait for reinforcements."
Han Dang was very puzzled: "The Major General has no idea about our situation at all, so how can he rescue him?"
Zhou Yu was very sure: "Don't worry, he will definitely come."
