Chapter 1120 The real crisis
With Zhou Yu and Lu Su leading the way, all the soldiers in Jiangdong were extremely brave and fearless.
Although the Purple Gold Dragon Knight is extremely powerful, it fights with injured comrades, and the combat power is naturally greatly weakened. Now facing such a group of desperate enemy troops, it is difficult to get a bargain for a while.
Zhou Yu pointed his sword with one finger: "The personal soldiers obey the orders and follow me to capture Guan Yu alive!"
After saying that, he personally led the five hundred personal guards and rushed left and right, and rushed straight to Guan Yu not far ahead.
Seeing this, Guan Yu couldn't help but be furious: "What a great Zhou Yu, I dare to come and die. Let's see Guan kill your head."
He waved the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and broke into the opposite army. Green light shone everywhere, and heads flew high.
Zhou Yu was shocked by Guan Yu's martial arts. Although he had heard of the famous name for a long time before, he had seen it from afar, but now he was so close that he truly felt the powerful pressure from the Martial Saint, which made this famous Jiangdong general unable to help but sweat on his forehead.
"Hmph." Guan Yu looked down on the world, glanced at Zhou Yu, and snorted coldly. As the sword passed, the soldiers from Jiangdong fell to the ground one after another, and then rushed towards Zhou Yu.
"Protect the General..."
Lu Su shouted anxiously, but Guan Yu was very fast, and he was still forty or fifty steps away just now. When everyone reacted, they had already rushed to Zhou Yu less than ten steps.
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword was raised high and towards Zhou Yu's head, slashing the sky and the earth.
Several personal guards stepped forward to stop him, but they were not the enemy of Guan Yu. Although they temporarily saved Zhou Yu, after several cold lights flashed by, these guards were all dismissed.
Although Zhou Yu was shocked by Guan Yu's extremely powerful murderous aura, he was sweating profusely, but he could finally muster up the courage, carry a long sword in his hand and take the initiative to attack.
"I have three points of courage."
Guan Yu hummed with some disdain, and crossed the Qinglong Sword behind him and slashed straight towards Zhou Yu's waist.
"Gongjin..."
Lu Su was so scared that he was no longer looking at him. He tried to come forward to help, but he was unable to move in the army.
At this moment, Guan Yu's heart tightened, and instinctively put his body on the side, the Qinglong Sword that had just been chopped out, used force on his hand, turned the blade and flicked it upwards.
"Ding..." With a crisp sound, after the big sword splitted through Zhou Yu's sword, Zhou Yu's hands were shaken violently, and the sword flew out from afar, but before he could react, another crisp sound was heard.
Zhou Yu seemed to sense something, and when he looked back, he was immediately overjoyed.
"Bofu!"
Only a hundred steps away, Sun Ce held a long bow in his hand, and was majestic.
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Hmph, Sun Ce, it's just right here. Guan will send you to the road and help my elder brother unify the country."
Sun Ce was immediately furious: "Guan Yu, don't underestimate a certain family and look at the gun!"
He grabbed the war horses and arrived first, and his spear was straight at Guan Yu.
The two of them arrived at each other, and only a hundred steps, almost instantly. They collided with each other with one sword and one shot.
"System prompt: Guan Yu fights Sun Ce..."
Although Sun Ce was brave, he was inferior to Guan Yu and Zhu Ye, two top warriors in the world. With just this move, he made his mouth hurt severely, and the Overlord Spear almost escaped.
"Guan Yu is known as the Sword Emperor, with great power and strong force. His sword skills have entered the realm of transformation. It is not something I can do to host. Today, things are urgent, so we should plan a way out early."
Although Sun Ce was very reckless in his behavior, he was not a wise man. At the moment, his battle situation was not good, so he naturally knew the truth that "he kept the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood". He immediately turned his eyes with Zhou Yu and planned a way to escape without any damage.
Zhou Yu waved his long sword and went forward to help with the veteran Huang Gai. The three of them fought against Guan Yu, but Guan Yu was still calm and had enough to deal with it.
"Bo Fu, for the sake of the present plan, there is Zhang Yong and Zhu Ye's coalition in the south, but I'm afraid that it will be chased soon. There are Ma Chao's cavalry in the east, which has cut off our food route. According to the Ma Lai report, Liu Bei and Xu Huang led their troops to attack the city of Shouchun, and Yanzhou in the north, which is Liu He's territory. Qian Zhao and others have sufficient food. On the west side, there is Gao Shun's camp coming, which is less than five hundred miles away."
Sun Ce used all his strength to deal with Guan Yu. He listened to Zhou Yu's words, but he was not distracted from answering correctly. He just changed his expression. Zhou Yu had a close relationship with him, and he immediately understood his intentions.
"There are pursuers in the southeast, southwest and northwest. At present, our army has only one way, which is to retreat to Xincai County to the southeast. I left more than ten warships in Rushui outside the city, and dozens of small boats such as Zuoke and Shishi, which are enough for our army to retreat. Guan Yu, Zhang Yong, Gao Shun and others are all not good at water battles. When our army retreats to the river, the enemy will have no choice. Even if there are those who come to pursue me, I am still 100% sure to kill the pursuers on the surface of the river."
When Sun Ce heard this, he looked happy. Although he was defeated this time, his vitality was not damaged much, but he could retreat to Jiangdong and retain Jing and Yang. In addition, Sima Yi fought south, defeated Shanyue, invaded Jiaozhou, and recuperated for several years, and still compete with Liu He.
As soon as he thought of this, Sun Ce did not hesitate at all. He immediately shot a flick, temporarily forced Guan Yu to retreat, shouting loudly: "The entire army's rear team changed to the front team and quickly retreated to Xincai County."
After saying that, he said to Zhou Yu and Lu Su: "You two commanded the troops to retreat, and you personally led your own soldiers to cut off the rear."
"Master, how does this make it?"
Lu Su was about to persuade him, but Sun Ce directly interrupted him: "The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed. If I had not cut off the back personally and waited for the Zijin Dragon Rider to approach, I would die here. This is a military order and I must not disobey."
Lu Su wanted to say something, but was held back by Zhou Yu. He knew Sun Ce's nature well and it was impossible to persuade him at this time.
"Zijing, put the overall situation in Jiangdong first, let's go!"
He pulled Lu Su and said goodbye to Sun Ce with his fists. He left only five or six thousand elite soldiers to cut off the rear with Sun Ce. He personally commanded the army and retreated to the southeast.
Lu Su saw that both the lord and the lord were so decisive, not to mention that Sun Ce was extremely brave and although Guan Yu was powerful, he was exhausted after fighting like this for a day. The lord wanted to escape, and it was not difficult, so he had to obey orders and not say more at the moment.
He thought for a moment and said, "Gongjin, now that our army is defeated, the gentry of Jingzhou has just surrendered. I am afraid that people will be in a state of turmoil, not to mention that there is a shortage of food and grass. Going to Jingzhou to replenish supplies may cause dissatisfaction among the major tribes in Jingzhou. Should we take a detour to Lujiang first, rest and then return to Jingzhou to stabilize the situation?"
Zhou Yu looked relieved: "Zijing is indeed a talented person. Under such circumstances, he can still be so clear. Yes, I am about to go to Lujiang. The old lord has been here for many years, with abundant food and grass and stable people. After our army goes to replenish supplies, we will go up the river and go to Xiangyang to ensure that there is no danger."
Then he shouted, "Han Dang, Ding Feng, where is Jiang Qin?"
"The last one will be here!"
"I ordered you three to lead two thousand troops from here to set up an ambush at each twenty miles each to meet the lord. If the lord is in trouble, please come and see him!"
"Abide by the order!"
The three of them received the order and immediately lit up their troops and acted separately.
However, Danyang County, which is on the east side of Lujiang County in Jiangdong, is now full of dangers.
To the north of Danyang County, it is opposite to Xuzhou Guangling County, across the river. To the east of Danyang is Wu County, and to the east of Wu County is the vast sea.
The prefect of Danyang, whose surname was Liu, his name was Xun, and his courtesy name was Zitai. He was originally the prefect of Lujiang. Later, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu cooperated with each other to seize Lujiang and kill Yuan Shu. Liu Xun surrendered.
Seeing that this person was very capable in governing the local area, Sun Jian was not good at leading troops, but there was a great river water north of Danyang. With his many arrangements on the river surface, the Northern Army was not good at water battles, so he thought it was not worth worrying, so he moved Liu Xun to the prefect of Danyang.
On this day, Liu Xun, as usual, patrolled around Danyang County in the county. He knew that this new lord had a big temper and had a slight mistake, and he was afraid of his life and feared that he would be worried about his life, so he did not dare to neglect at all.
"Report..."
An urgent voice broke the originally peaceful Danyang County town.
Liu Xun was a little unhappy, and he angrily scolded: "Why are you so panicked and unpretentious?"
The young man hurriedly knelt in front of him, trembling all over, making Liu Xun realize something was wrong.
"Speak quickly, what happened?"
"There is a great man, on the river in the north... on the river..."
Liu Xun's heart trembled, and he stepped forward and shouted, "What's on the river?"
"Suddenly a large number of warships appeared on the river. The head ship had the 'Jing' flag and was galloping towards this side..."
"What? Jiang Huan?"
Liu Xun felt a darkness in front of him...
