In Liu Bei's army, the most tormented were Lord Chunshen and the other mutant lords.
Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi were protecting Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang as they retreated. They could not be bothered to care about the mutants. In addition, the mutant army was a huge target. It was impossible to retreat smoothly.
On the battle map, to Lord Chunshen and the other lords, the army was everything. There was no point in abandoning their army and escaping alone.
Even if they could gain some benefits from Liu Bei, it would not be enough to make up for the loss of their army.
Rather than that, it was better to cut their losses.
Lord Chunshen gritted his teeth as the fire grew fiercer. In the end, he could only reluctantly cut his own throat and leave the map.
If this dragged on, Lord Chunshen's army would suffer heavy losses.
Lord Chunshen's efforts in the Battle of Red Cliffs had been in vain. The contribution points gained by the Rising Sun City army in Changsha County were not even enough to revive the fallen soldiers.
"If I had known, I would not have come out to join in the fun." Lord Chunshen sighed.
He could only blame Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun for being too tempting!
Fortunately, Lord Chunshen was a super tycoon and had no shortage of substitute dolls. Otherwise, with so many rebirths, Lord Chunshen's individual combat power would be too weak.
As the lords of Liu Bei's camp committed suicide, the mutant army transformed into rays of white light and disappeared from the map. Liu Bei's army became empty, with less than ten thousand soldiers remaining. However, the fire did not abate.
Warships sank to the bottom of the river amidst the flames. It was a wretched sight.
It was only a matter of time before Liu Bei's army was completely annihilated.
The focus of the battlefield had completely shifted to the pursuit on the shore.
Regardless of the outcome of the pursuit, Liu Bei's army had lost the ability to contend against Shanhai City's fleet.
The natural stronghold of the Yangtze River was now in the hands of Shanhai City's fleet. After a month, Cao Cao's camp had once again regained control of the river and could attack the hinterland of River East at any time.
The strategic goal of the expedition of the ocean-going fleet had been achieved. The fleet's next move would depend on the outcome of the battle at River Tomb.
If River Tomb won, the campaign would be over.
If River Tomb lost, they would be entangled for a while longer.
Ouyang Shuo had already set his sights on River East's Zhou Yu. In this campaign, Ouyang Shuo did not come for contribution points, but to subdue Jia Xu and Zhou Yu.
After this period of hard work, Jia Xu no longer had any problems.
Zhou Yu, whom Ouyang Shuo cared about the most, had yet to even see his face. Apart from his own abilities, Zhou Yu was also the key to Ouyang Shuo's success in subduing Lu Meng, Gan Ning, and the other naval generals.
In this way, how could Ouyang Shuo not be concerned about the situation in Jiangling?
Before leaving River Tomb, Ouyang Shuo had left a Taowu Battle Ship parked on the river outside River Tomb City. His goal was to send the report of the battle to Ouyang Shuo at the first possible moment.
Calculating the time, the battle of Jiangling should have come to an end.
However, Ouyang Shuo had yet to see that Taurus Warship.
On the Contribution Ranking, Di Chen, Bai Hua, and the others' contribution points had all changed. It was obvious that the battle in Jiang Ling was very intense. It was impossible for Ouyang Shuo to predict the outcome of the battle in River Tomb just based on the changes in the rankings.
It just so happened that the military contribution leaderboard had been quiet for the past two days.
Obviously, the Battle of Jiangling had either entered a stalemate or there was a result.
"I hope nothing bad will happen!"
Ouyang Shuo looked in the direction of Jiangling and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
His line of sight shifted to the wilderness on the west bank of the Yangtze River.
After the troops had gathered, Zhao Sihu took out a talisman and grinned.
[Military Talisman]: After use, the troop's speed will be increased by 50% for two hours.
With the talisman bestowed by the Lord, Zhao Sihu had the confidence to catch up to the enemy. Zhao Sihu did not hesitate and immediately tore the talisman apart. It turned into a white light that enveloped every soldier of the City Guard Division.
Immediately, the soldiers sped up as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Even so, it was not easy to catch up to the Taowu elite troops. Firstly, the basic speed of the Taowu elite troops was faster than the City Guard Division. Secondly, the army had the support of Zhao Yun, Chen Di, and Zhuge Liang.
In contrast, Zhao Sihu's general's blessing was somewhat lacking.
Therefore, even with the support of the [Military Talisman], the City Guard Division chased for a full hour before they could vaguely see Liu Bei's army in front of them.
Chen Di and Zhao Yun, the two valiant generals, were very experienced. They constantly changed their direction as they retreated. Along the way, they even deliberately left behind misleading information, causing Zhao Sihu to suffer.
Fortunately, they finally caught up to them.
Zhao Sihu looked at the enemy in front of him and bared his teeth. "Let's see where you can run to!"
… …
On the other side, Chen Di and the others also realized that they had been caught up.
"My lord, leave first. I will deal with them." At the crucial moment, Chen Di stepped forward and requested to bring up the rear.
"Be careful."
At this time, Liu Bei had already calmed down and immediately allocated a thousand Taowu elite troops to Chen Di. Among the heroes of chaotic times, not a single one of them was a wishy-washy person at the crucial moment.
In history, Chen Di led seven hundred Taowu elite troops and stopped the ten thousand strong army of Dong Yue Wu. Liu Bei just did not know if this one thousand elite troops could stop the ten thousand City Guard Division.
After a while, the City Guard Division caught up.
When Zhao Sihu saw that the enemy only left one thousand to bring up the rear, he looked displeased. "Hmph, how arrogant!"
Immediately, Zhao Sihu wanted to split his troops to chase after Liu Bei's army. Zhao Sihu was very clear that Liu Bei and the others in front were the real big fish.
This time, Zhao Sihu was holding back a wave of energy. He wanted to make a great contribution to the Lord.
"Want to leave? Get through me first. "Chen Di pointed the end of his spear at Zhao Sihu.
"Kill!"
One thousand Taowu elite troops immediately formed a formation and blocked the path of the City Guard Division.
"If you want to die, I will grant your wish!"
When Zhao Sihu saw this, he glared at them. "Kill them and end the battle quickly!"
"Kill!"
Under Zhao Sihu's command, the City Guard Division was also a group of fierce tigers.
Zhao Sihu had always been a man of action. Without any nonsense, he raised his saber and attacked. The cultivation technique he practiced was the Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Saber, which the Lord bestowed upon him when he exterminated the Evil Lion Ridge bandits in his early years.
After two years of cultivation, Zhao Sihu's Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Saber had reached the realm of mastery. His battle prowess was only a few steps away from breaking through to the King level.
What he lacked was an opportunity for enlightenment.
The large saber Zhao Sihu used was a purple gold grade weapon meticulously forged by Ou Yezi. It was incomparably sharp.
Therefore, Zhao Sihu bit Chen Di as soon as the battle started. The two fierce generals fought together. They were evenly matched, and it was hard for them to separate. Sand and stones flew everywhere.
Saber qi crisscrossed and spear light flashed. It was hard for ordinary people to get close.
Right at this moment, the rest of the soldiers also began to fight. The White Nightmare troops were indeed elites. One against ten, but they were only at a slight disadvantage. They were not suppressed by the City Guard Division.
Of course, the City Guard Division was not the Dong Yue Wu troops from back then. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of weapons and equipment, the two sides were not on the same level.
Therefore, although the White Nightmare troops were strong, if they encountered the Divine Martial Guards, they would most likely fall.
As the battle progressed, the City Guard Division gradually gained the upper hand. The White Nightmare troops were also fierce. The City Guard Division tried to break through the defensive line several times to continue chasing Liu Bei, but they were beaten back every time.
Each time, the White Nightmare troops gave it their all.
Such morale and bravery was something that the current City Guard Division could not hope to achieve.
The battle fell into a stalemate.
The White Nightmare troops seemed to be on the verge of collapse, but they stubbornly held on. The longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the City Guard Division. By now, the [Military Seal] had long lost its effect.
As Zhao Sihu carried Chen Di, he also took the time to observe the battlefield. The more he watched, the uglier his expression became.
Just as the two sides were fighting, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.
Turning around, it was Ouyang Shuo personally leading the Divine Martial Guards to reinforce them.
This time, the White Nightmare troops led by Chen Di were somewhat lacking. Under the combined forces of the Divine Martial Guards and the City Guard Division, they were beaten back again and again.
In less than an hour, one thousand White Nightmare troops were completely annihilated.
In the nameless wilderness, one thousand fierce warriors were slumbering here. In the end, only Chen Di was left, still fighting Zhao Sihu. It was a very tragic scene.
"General Chen Di, are you willing to surrender?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"Don't even think about it!"
Chen Di's reply was just as straightforward. He stabbed out with his spear, aiming for Zhao Sihu's life.
Ouyang Shuo heard this and sighed in his heart. He did not want to continue fighting, "Send General Chen on his way!"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Zhao Sihu slashed forward with his saber, parrying the spear and using the momentum to escape the battle.
At the same time, the Divine Martial Guards on the periphery raised their Divine Armed Crossbows and fired ten thousand arrows. In an instant, Chen Di was shot like a hedgehog and fell to the ground dead.
After Chen Di died, he left behind a book. Ouyang Shuo took a look and finally revealed a trace of a smile.
"White Nightmare Elite Troop Training Technique Manual: After using, master the White Nightmare Elite Troop Training Technique."
"This trip was not in vain!" Ouyang Shuo smiled, "Let's go back!"
After such a long time, Liu Bei had long escaped without a trace. It was impossible to find him.
"As expected of a cockroach, he is really lucky!" Ouyang Shuo sighed in his heart. Fortunately, after this battle, he had lost a few of Liu Bei's arms.
Just as Ouyang Shuo led his troops back, a Bi 'an battleship sailed towards Shanhai City's fleet.
"Who is it? Stop!"
The battleship was stopped by the fleet that was still cleaning up the battlefield.
"We're on the same side!" The Bi 'an battleship raised its golden dragon flag. A soldier on the deck said loudly, "Jiangling City has an urgent military situation. I need to present it to the Emperor!"
"Please wait!"
After a round of interrogation, the messenger was sent to Dragon Head.
"What happened to Jiangling City?" Zheng He asked.
"Reporting to Governor, Jiangling City has fallen a week ago. This general has come under the orders of Lord Feng Qiuhuang to inform the Emperor and ask the Emperor to make a decision as soon as possible." As the messenger spoke, he took out a secret letter.
"What? Jiangling City has fallen? "
Jia Xu, who was at the side, jumped up in shock, "What exactly happened?"
"This …" The messenger was somewhat hesitant.
Seeing this, Zheng He said, "Mister, let's wait for the Emperor to come back and listen to what is going on."
Jia Xu was startled and came back to his senses, "I was too rash!"
