Bai Xiaowen used his mental energy to send a message, and it was like he was giving orders to a general. Although it was a chaotic battlefield, it was still effective.
The Yuan army coordinated well with each other, and they were like five fingers of a hand.
In the end, Liu Bei's commanding ability was still not up to par. He relied on the 'Pacifying the Army' skill to restore the morale of his soldiers. However, it was not of much use. The moment the soldiers gathered, they were scattered by Bai Xiaowen's elite soldiers.
Liu Bei said to Xu Shu, Jian Yong, and the others, "Lord, the situation is not good. Let's break out! Where there's life, there's hope! "
Liu Bei did not mention fighting to the death anymore. He ordered his soldiers to get into formation and break out of the encirclement.
Bai Xiaowen received a notification.
"Liu Bei's special skill, Hidden Dragon, has been activated."
[Hidden Dragon: Passive. When Liu Bei escapes, he will not fall from his horse due to injuries. Passive: Increase evasion rate by 30%, increase riding speed by 30%, ignore normal obstacles, and immune to all slowing effects.]
The corner of Bai Xiaowen's eyes twitched.
Uncle Liu was indeed a master of escaping.
Bai Xiaowen used his mental energy to send a message to his generals, "We must capture Liu Bei, and we must not let his generals and officials go. Anyone who captures Liu Bei's generals and strategists will be heavily rewarded. "
Ma Chao did not care too much and went straight for Liu Bei.
Another person who did not listen was Gao Lan. He wanted to make a contribution, so he led an army and went straight for Liu Bei.
Zhang He was more obedient. He led his troops to kill the scattered soldiers and went straight for Xu Shu.
Xu Shu raised his sword and faced him.
Xu Shu's martial arts were not bad, but as an amateur, he could not beat a professional general. A few times, he was blocked by Zhang He's Dense Cloud Spear Technique.
Zhang He used his spear to knock against Xu Shu's sword, and Xu Shu's sword could not be held tightly. Zhang He then raised his spear and struck Xu Shu's back, causing him to spit out blood and fall in front of his horse. The bodyguards behind him were like wolves and tigers. They rushed forward and tied Xu Shu up.
Han Meng was also quite obedient. It was probably because he had already made contributions in capturing Fulhui Pass. He urged his horse forward and aimed at the chubby Jian Yong. Riding side by side, he lifted Jian Yong up with one hand and threw him off the horse.
In fact, Jian Yong was the leader who specialized in mental strength. He knew two Dao techniques and Yin Yang divination. Normally, his combat strength was passable. However, Han Meng was a Rare Commander-grade general. Both of them were in close combat, so it was reasonable for him to be captured in one round.
Ma Chao chased after Liu Bei, raising his spear he shouted, "Don't run away, big-eared thief!"
Liu Bei remembered how Pang Tong had cursed Ma Teng to death. He felt guilty, so he pulled back his head and rode his horse forward.
Ma Chao chased after him but was blocked by a group of Liu Bei's bodyguards who were not afraid of death. By the time he killed the soldiers, Liu Bei had already fled a long distance away.
Gao Lan was more cunning. He led his troops to surround Liu Bei from the side and cut him off from the front.
Seeing that Liu Bei only had two or three horses, Gao Lan was overjoyed. He laughed, "The heavens have given me such a great merit!" He patted his horse and brandished his saber as he went straight for Liu Bei. He shouted, "Liu Bei, quickly dismount and be bound!"
Liu Bei was panicking when a general rushed over and said, "Allow me to fight to the death. Milord, please leave first!"
Liu Bei looked and saw that it was his subordinate, Liu Pi, whom he had subdued in Runan. He did not have time to say anything and could only nod his head and gallop away.
Gao Lan was stopped by Liu Pi. He shouted angrily and chopped down two out of three times, cutting Liu Pi off his horse. Seeing that Liu Bei was not far away, he immediately gave chase.
Suddenly, he heard a shout, "Don't hurt my lord!"
Following which, a white figure flashed by. A general wearing a white robe and silver armor rushed over on his horse.
Before Gao Lan could react, a cold light was pointed at his throat.
How can there be such a fast spear?
This was Gao Lan's last thought. He immediately fell off his horse.
The one who came was Zhao Yun. He was originally leading the rear of the army. When he heard the shouts and neighs of horses, he knew that the front of the army had encountered an ambush.
Zhao Yun did not immediately rush over. Instead, he ordered the rear of the army to get into formation. He also had his deputy general, Chen Dao, lead the army to be on guard. After making all the necessary arrangements, he galloped to the middle of the army to investigate the situation.
As soon as he entered the battlefield, he saw Liu Bei being chased by Gao Lan. Zhao Yun immediately activated his Single Horse Save His Lord state. He galloped over and used his half sneak attack. He activated his Thunderbolt ability and stabbed Gao Lan to death.
When Liu Bei saw Zhao Yun, he let out a long sigh, "If not for Zilong, I would have died!"
When Zhao Yun saw that Ma Chao was chasing after them, he hurriedly said, "Milord, we cannot stay here for long!"
Liu Bei was afraid of Ma Chao and immediately urged his horse forward. The horse he was riding, Da Lu, was also a famous horse. After the Hidden Dragon ability was activated, the horse's riding speed increased by 30%, making it even faster.
During the battle, Ma Chao had borrowed Cecilia's famous horse, Bai Yujing. However, he had returned it after the battle. Now, he was riding a good horse. Although he was not slow, he still could not catch up to Liu Bei.
Zhao Yun brandished his spear. He was like a ball of light, stabbing out with dozens of cold glints. The soldiers in front of Liu Bei were all killed by his spear. Zhao Yun opened up a path of blood and protected Liu Bei as they rushed out of the battlefield.
Bai Xiaowen looked at Zhao Yun's [Solo Knight Saves Master] status from afar, and then saw him stab Gao Lan to death. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "This scene is exactly the same as in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It's a pity that Gao Lan didn't manage to escape this calamity even though he's made a lot of contributions after following me. Could it be that the planes of the Three Kingdoms really have a fixed number? "
Li Shuyi said softly, "Don't be sad. Liu Bei has escaped! What should we do? "
The corners of Bai Xiaowen's mouth curled into a smile, "There's no rush. Liu Bei's defeated army will definitely run along the Han River. He will go north through Deyang County and take a detour of two to three hundred miles. After this battle, we will go straight to Lianyun Plank Road and block Liu Bei's path. This is much better than chasing after Liu Bei's tail. "
Li Shuyi agreed, "Indeed. This way, we can avoid Zhao Yun who has the Single Horse Save His Lord state."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "The current Zhao Yun is indeed not someone who can be stopped by conventional means. However, if I really want to stop him and capture Liu Bei alive, it won't be difficult. It's just that I don't want to do it for the time being."
Li Shuyi did not understand.
Bai Xiaowen did not explain further. He ordered the troops to kill the scattered soldiers and not chase after Liu Bei.
Ma Chao was not convinced. He was so angry that he threw his helmet to the ground. Wearing only his headscarf, he led his troops and chased after Liu Bei's tail. He swore to capture Liu Bei.
Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly and did not care about Ma Chao anymore.
Liu Bei's army was killed and scattered. Wei Yan and Huang Zhong, who were in the vanguard, were like turtles in a jar. On the narrow Lianyun Plank Road, there were bows and crossbows on both sides. Although they were Lord-class fierce generals, they could not escape.
Soon, the vanguard army led by Huang Zhong and Wei Yan was either dead or injured. They no longer had the strength to resist.
Bai Xiaowen's troops, who were lying in ambush at the Lianyun Plank Road's entrance, pressed forward. Bai Xiaowen personally led the troops and pressed in through the entrance. Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and a group of defeated soldiers were trapped in the center of the pit.
