In the summer, Jiangnan region was very hot, but in the morning, no, it should be early in the morning, it was still very cool. Sun Cejun started cooking in the middle of the night, so they had to retreat in the middle of the night.
"Zijing, is everything ready?" Sun Ce repeatedly asked Lu Su. He was very worried. He was now a gambler with red eyes. His last bet was on this.
"Rest assured, Milord!" Lu Su nodded. He also knew the importance of the current situation. So last night, he sent a scout to the Wan Cheng Navy camp. The messenger was Taishi Ci. He was afraid that they would be intercepted by the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Taishi Ci was very experienced in breaking out of an encirclement. In the past, under the leadership of Guan Hai, hundreds of thousands of soldiers besieged Beihai City. It was Taishi Ci who rushed out of Beihai City and asked for help from all directions. The Yellow Turban Army was not comparable to the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. But hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses could not do anything to Taishi Ci. This showed that Taishi Ci had a set of skills.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, Taishi Ci sent a message to Sun Cejun. Everything was ready. "Now, it's up to Wen Hou!"
In the middle of the night, the sky was still dark. Sun Cejun began to break camp. They gave up everything that they could not take with them. They even lost a lot of provisions. Most of their provisions were still in the Wan Cheng Navy camp. Once they arrived there, they would have everything. What he wanted was to pack lightly.
"Milord, this time you will be the last to leave!" Lu Su looked at Sun Ce and said. Generally, those who retreated at the back were cannon fodder. They were sacrificed to buy time for the people at the front so that the majority of the army could leave. But now, Lu Su wanted Sun Ce to retreat at the back.
"Good!" Sun Ce clenched his teeth. He is now unconditionally obeying Lu Su's orders. But he still feels that it is dangerous because Lu Su told him to wear the general's banner and wear the general's armor while retreating. Isn't this the same as courting death? By raising the flag of the Central Army, were they trying to attract the enemy's attention?
However, for the sake of his final bet, Sun Ce listened to Lu Su. He donned his armor and mounted his warhorse. With the Western Chu Overlord Spear in hand, he watched as the first wave of Sun Cejun retreated.
Although Sun Cejun had kept the retreat of the army light, it was still discovered by the Lvbu's Army. In the Lvbu's Army camp, 5,000 Wolf Riders were ready.
"Milord, do you want us?" Chengyu stood at the side and said to Lü Bu. If they attacked halfway, Sun Cejun would suffer heavy losses.
"No! Now is not the time! " Lü Bu's eyes were cold. He watched as part of Sun Cejun's army left the camp and walked towards the dark road. Although attacking now would cause heavy casualties to Sun Cejun's army, once they scared Sun Cejun back to Sun Cejun's camp, Sun Cejun would have to pay a heavy price to take them down.
Lü Bu wanted them dead! He wanted them to be completely annihilated and to feel the aura of death. Sometimes, death was not scary. What was scary was knowing that you were about to die. That feeling was the most terrifying. Lü Bu wanted to give them the fear of death.
Slowly, Sun Cejun's camp was almost empty. Only the last army was left. They were carrying the banner of the general. Among them, the general was wearing exquisite armor. This was the last army. After they left, Sun Cejun's camp was empty.
"Okay!" Lü Bu indifferently said, "It's time to hunt!" Lü Bu patted his warhorse. Under the leadership of the Wolf King, the entire wolf pack began to hunt. Their prey today was Sun Cejun's soldiers in the camp. They were food for the wolf pack.
"Hungry, hungry, hungry! Howl! "The moon had not completely set, but 5,000 hungry prairie wolves began to hunt.
Wancheng city was not far from Sun Cejun's camp. The cavalry quickly arrived in front of the camp. Sun Cejun's army was the last to retreat. They were about to confront the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry.
"Milord, the general's banner! The general's banner! Sun Ce did not leave, he is still there! "Chengyu was a little excited. He did not expect Sun Ce to bring up the rear. Wasn't this courting death? When did the troops who brought up the rear survive? Even if they survived, they would not survive. But in front of the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry, there was only death.
"Huh!?" Lü Bu frowned. There was a general's banner and a man wearing a general's armor among the Central Army. His aura was very strong. Lü Bu knew that this man was definitely Sun Cejun's general. How could Sun Ce be so stupid? Bring up the rear? Lü Bu could not help but think. Suddenly, he remembered that Sun Ce let the retreating soldiers wear his clothes. No! Lü Bu shook his head. This man should be Sun Cejun's general. Sun Ce was really willing to let a general bring up the rear. He was not afraid of losing a general!
Looking at these retreating troops, Lu Bu knew that they were elites. Did he want to use these elite troops to stop him?! Lu Bu knew that they were elites. Did he want to use these elite troops to stop him? Impossible. Lü Bu also wanted to destroy these elite troops of Sun Cejun, but he wanted to take Sun Ce's head.
But even so, Lü Bu still stared at Sun Cejun's Central Army who was wearing a general's armor and had a general's banner behind him. Lü Bu's Poseidon halberd was ready. If something went wrong, he would immediately kill him.
"Don't even think about leaving!" Sun Ce roared in the Central Army. He lowered his voice because he was afraid that Lü Bu would recognize him. If he was recognized, then it would be over. Although his men were elites, they were still not a match for the 5000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. However, according to his discussion with Lü Su, Sun Ce waved his hand. 2000 elite troops charged towards the Lvbu's Army. This was to stop the Lvbu's Army.
"Hmph! Do you think you can stop them if you want to? " Lü Bu coldly snorted. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry changed their formation. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry soldiers on the side drew their longbows and shot arrows towards Sun Ce's Central Army. The dense rain of arrows filled Sun Cejun's stomach and caused countless casualties.
The Lvbu's Army was getting closer. Sun Ce's hands were covered in cold sweat. He held the Hegemon King of Western Chu tightly. If this didn't work, then he would have to break through by himself.
Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was getting closer and closer. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry soldiers that were blocking Sun Cejun's path also suffered countless casualties. As long as Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry charged, the Sun Cejun's army would be annihilated. There was no room for resistance.
However, Lü Bu put down the Poseidon Halberd in his hand. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry bypassed Sun Cejun and rushed towards the direction where the other Sun Cejun's army fled.
"Phew!" Sun Ce couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Lü Bu would discover him. At that time, he would be finished. Once he, Sun Ce, died, Jiangdong's great cause would be gone. There is Liu Biao from Jingzhou eyeing them covetously. There is also Lu Bu here. These two people are not easy to deal with.
However, since Lü Bu had left, it meant that Sun Ce had won half of the bet. Sun Ce couldn't help but smile. Sun Ce couldn't wait to see the look of despair on Lü Bu's face.
"Let's move!" Under Sun Ce's command, thousands of people appeared from Sun Cejun's camp. These thousands of people were all strong and had a determined look on their faces. They were even stronger than the Danyang soldiers and the lookout camp.
They gathered from Sun Cejun's empty camp. They were the remaining 5,000 of the 10,000 elites under Sun Ce's command. Sun Ce had dug a big hole in the camp for these people to hide. Now, it was time to use them.
As for the remaining 5,000 people, they would be dealt with by the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
Sun Ce looked at Wancheng city not far away. His eyes were shining. You didn't expect this! I'm back! Sun Ce's Hegemon of Western Chu couldn't wait to once again rush to the city wall. Wancheng city, Wancheng city! Sun Ce thought about Lü Bu's expression when he heard the news. Sun Ce was very excited.
"After three hours, we will attack the city!" Sun Cejun's empty camp was once again bustling with activity.
"My lord!" Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry chased after Sun Cejun. Along the way, there were no opponents for the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Under the crushing of the 5,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, only corpses were left. However, Lü Bu was not satisfied because he did not find what he wanted. Now, there were several forks in the road in front of him. These forks were scattered, but their final destination was the Yangtze River. Chengyu looked at Lü Bu, hoping that Lü Bu could give him a choice.
"Divide the troops!" Lü Bu said without hesitation. There were three forks in front of them. Two of them were 1,500 soldiers, and one was 2,000 soldiers!
The 2,000 soldiers were led by Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's Major Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan was the Lvbu's Army's General Zhang Liao and Wen Yuan's elder brother! Although Zhang Fan could not be compared to his younger brother, his martial arts were still very strong. He was also a second-rate general.
Lü Bu divided the troops. 2,000 soldiers were led by Zhang Fan on the first path. 1,500 soldiers were led by Lü Bu on the middle path. The remaining 1,500 soldiers were led by Chengyu on the third path.
"My lord, what are you doing?" Chengyu was a little puzzled. Lü Bu had chosen the middle path, which was a small path. Zhang Fan and he had chosen the main path. The small path was rugged. This path was originally built by the common people for the common people to pass through. The two paths on the side were built by the soldiers. They were large and easy to walk through. They were also the fastest way to reach the Wan Cheng Navy's camp.
However, Lü Bu had chosen the small path that was difficult to walk through. What was he planning to do?
"The small path is rugged and difficult to walk through. You can think of it, but Sun Ce can't think of it!" Lü Bu looked at the path and said to Chengyu. "The smaller the path, the more dangerous it is and the more it can block the enemy's pursuit! Sun Ce should be on this path! " Lü Bu said indifferently. Not only was the path rugged, it was also very dangerous. There were hills on the side. Although they were not high, they could still be used for an ambush. If they were not careful, they might be able to escape.
Therefore, Lü Bu had chosen the small path. He believed that Sun Ce would also take this path. This was called knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain, but still going to the mountain. Moreover, the more dangerous it was, the more he could not let Chengyu and Zhang Fan go. Although the two of them were strong, they had not reached that level. If they were really surrounded, then they could only die. However, Lü Bu was different. Under the leadership of the Wolf King, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was invincible.
"Then it's decided!" Lü Bu directly rode his horse and led the 1500 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry towards the small path. Chengyu and Zhang Fan also nodded and led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry towards their own path.
First was Zhang Fan's path. Under the pursuit of Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan actually caught a big fish. This big fish was the Deputy General of Jiangdong's Wu Family, Wu Yun. This Wu Yun was the Deputy General of the Wu Family. Since he was chosen by the Wu Family, he naturally had some skills. When he saw that he was being chased, he immediately stopped running and ordered the soldiers to form a large army formation. Running in the wilderness while facing the cavalry was completely exposing his back to them. How could a two-legged person escape from a four-legged person? However, even if he had some skills, he was still not a match for the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
The corner of Zhang Fan's mouth curved into a sneer. Who were they? They were the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. The thing they were least afraid of was charging. If it was the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry before Xu Province, they might have suffered a huge loss. However, it was different now. Every one of them was wearing heavy armor and had a long spear and a cavalry saber in their hands. Along the way, no one could stop them. Even the Ferocious Cavalry was not a match for the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. If it was Sun Cejun's elites, Zhang Fan might be able to avoid them. However, these small fries would become Zhang Fan's military merit!
"Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, the hunt begins!" Zhang Fan waved his long spear and charged towards Sun Cejun. Under the fierce galloping of 2000 warhorses, the small fries on the opposite side began to panic.
"Don't panic, don't panic!" Wu Yun encouraged his soldiers. "They only have 2000 people and we have 5000. 5000 is twice their number. What are we afraid of? They should be the ones who should be afraid! As long as we can hold on, we can survive! "
"Twice?" Zhang Fan laughed when he heard Wu Yun's words. To deal with cavalry and infantry, one had to pay ten times the price. This was especially true for heavy armored cavalry. They were a nightmare on the battlefield. Ten thousand heavy armored cavalry could decide the outcome of a battle. Five thousand heavy armored cavalry could act as a deterrent, making the enemy not dare to invade. Although Zhang Fan only had 2000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, he could easily tear apart the formation of 5000 people. Do you think you are the Formation Breaker?
Only heavy armored infantry like the Formation Breaker could cause the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to hesitate. This was because when wolves encountered an iron tortoise, even if they bit open the tortoise's shell, they would still be heavily injured. Now, these light armored infantry were simply giving away military merit.
Sure enough, when the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry came into contact with the Sun Cejun soldiers, it immediately highlighted the horror of this pack of wolves. One by one, the wolves opened their bloody mouth and bit the sheep. The sheep seemed to have no ability to resist.
The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry directly tore a hole in the formation. If it was an elite army, then in the end, there would only be a few hundred casualties. Then the elite soldiers would fill the hole and continue to attack the cavalry like hedgehogs.
But the soldiers in front of them were not elite soldiers. They were just private soldiers hired by the nobles. They might have been farmers or peddlers. They only know how to farm and sell things. They can fight battles with ease. Just like the battle of Wancheng city, they were the ones who attacked. That's why the soldiers dared to attack. Coupled with the rewards promised by the nobles, these soldiers became more and more excited. That's why the battle of Wancheng city was so difficult.
But now it was different. They were retreating. For these soldiers, they didn't know the meaning of retreat. For them, these two words were the same.
Only when they lost a battle would they retreat. If they won the battle, then they should be celebrating in Wancheng city. Why would they run here? Now, they were caught by the enemy. They had seen the horror of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Those soldiers might be their fellow countrymen or relatives who were hired by the nobles to attack the city wall. But in the end, they were completely annihilated. They were completely torn apart by the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry!
That miserable look was still in their minds. Now that this kind of demon had caught up with them, there was only one path left for them, and that was death!
"Help, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry came into contact with these soldiers. Under the impact of the warhorses, coupled with heavy armor and steel spears, the formation of these soldiers was like a layer of paper. They were directly broken. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry didn't care about the enemy. They were wolves, and wolves were bloodthirsty. They only knew how to open their bloody mouth and take your life. This was their nature. There was no sympathy in their eyes, no sympathy for the weak.
These Sun Cejun soldiers began to collapse. They couldn't stand it anymore. Some were torn apart by the warhorses, some were pierced by the steel spears, and some were directly cut in two by the cavalry's swords. Blood and internal organs were scattered all over the ground. This was hell.
These farmers, peddlers, and peddlers couldn't bear it anymore. They scattered and wanted to escape. They wanted to leave this hell. They didn't want to see these demons again.
"Get lost, get lost!" Someone blocked in front of them. These soldiers didn't hesitate to kill their former comrades in order to leave a path of survival for themselves.
There were also trampled. As long as they fell to the ground, they basically couldn't survive. They were trampled into meat paste by countless huge feet.
"Go back, go back!" Wu Yun shouted. Once they collapsed, they were really finished. If the formation was still there, they could still hold on for a while. Once they collapsed, they would be slaughtered. There was no room for survival!
"Go back!" Wu Yun slashed at a fleeing soldier. The slash landed on the soldier's head, and the head flew up. Blood splattered on Wu Yun's face, making him look ferocious.
"Go back, this is the fate of those who dare to escape!" Wu Yun's ferocious smile really scared some people. They couldn't help but turn their heads and rushed towards the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
However, they returned after a while. This was because compared to death, they didn't want to encounter demons.
"Go back, go back!" Wu Yun began to kill again. There were demons behind them, and Wu Yun in front. These soldiers also went crazy. They were going to die anyway! They might as well fight. Compared to the thousands of murderous demons behind them, Wu Yun was easier to deal with.
"Damn it, I quit. I want to live. I joined the army to fight, to beat people, not to fight demons!" A soldier shouted. He was already dissatisfied with Wu Yun. He hid in the Central Army and asked them to risk their lives. They didn't want to do that.
"If you don't go, die!" Wu Yun didn't allow the soldier to say anything. He directly slashed at him and cut off half of his head. Brain juice splattered out.
"Brother, brother!" Wu Yun killed two brothers who joined the army together. The other soldier saw his brother die in Wu Yun's hands and his eyes turned red. When they came out, his mother told him to take good care of his brother. He also promised her that even if he died, he would protect his brother. But now, his brother died in front of him. He didn't die on the battlefield or at the hands of the enemy. He died in the hands of his own people, at the hands of his general.
"Wu Yun!" The soldier's eyes turned red. He hugged his brother's corpse and stared at Wu Yun.
"What are you doing! Go back, or I'll kill you! "Wu Yun's eyes turned red. He pointed his sword at the soldier.
"F * ck you!" This soldier was really infuriated by Wu Yun. His brother's death, Wu Yun's attitude, and the demon behind him made this honest farmer go crazy. He directly stabbed the sword in his hand towards Wu Yun.
"General, be careful!" Wu Yun's bodyguard rushed forward to help Wu Yun, but he was still a step too late. The soldier's sword pierced Wu Yun's arm that was holding the broadsword.
The arm holding the broadsword was directly pierced. In pain, Wu Yun threw down the broadsword in his hand.
"You're courting death!" The bodyguard leaped over and slashed at the soldier. Wu Yun was their general. They only had Wu Yun. Now that someone had hurt their general, how could they let it go?
However, this bodyguard seemed to have forgotten one thing. He wasn't the only one looking at Wu Yun with dissatisfaction.
"Wu Yun has no weapon. Attack! Kill him! Kill him and we'll be able to live! " A soldier roared. They were afraid of Wu Yun because he was the general and could decide their life and death. But now that the demons behind him had caught up, they would lose their lives. Why would they listen to Wu Yun now?
Fortunately, this soldier had spoken his inner thoughts. If they killed him and rushed over, they might be able to survive.
However, the other soldiers had bad intentions. "The demons behind only want Wu Yun's head. As long as Wu Yun dies, the demons will stop!" They were not giving Wu Yun a way to live. Zhang Fan did not say that he only wanted to kill Wu Yun. He wanted to kill Sun Cejun.
They were a pack of wolves. It was impossible for them to stop until they drank blood.
However, the soldiers still believed him. They looked at Wu Yun with a strange expression.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?! I am your general. I am the deputy general of the Wu family. Are you trying to rebel?! "Wu Yun shouted angrily.
If there were people paying attention to him before, these soldiers would have gone crazy in order to survive. Not to mention that he was just a deputy general, even if he was the general or Sun Cejun, they would still do the same.
"Kill Wu Yun!" A soldier really attacked. He slashed at Wu Yun. This time, Wu Yun's arm was chopped off. The soldier was also killed by one of Wu Yun's bodyguards.
The other soldiers also moved. They wanted to live. Wu Yun was blocking their path. If they did not kick him away, they would not be able to live.
Especially when someone at the back shouted, "The demons are coming. Brothers, run! Run for your lives! "
Wu Yun's bodyguards could not stop them. These soldiers had already gone crazy. They did not have a general now. They only had their own lives and the fear of death.
"Kill, kill!" Soon, Wu Yun was drowned in a sea of people. He did not die in the hands of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Instead, he died in the hands of his own people. Wu Yun was extremely sullen.
Zhang Fan did not expect that his charge would cause so many casualties. Out of the 5000 Sun Cejun soldiers, less than 1000 were killed by the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry led by Zhang Fan. The rest were trampled to death or died in the hands of their own people.
Zhang Fan did not get the head of this troop. He only got a helmet that was trampled flat. The helmet was filled with minced meat. Zhang Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry. How was he going to claim the credit when he returned? Was he going to tell Lü Bu that this was the head of General Sun Cejun?
