Chapter 6 Besieged

On the other side, Sun Ce saw that our army was suddenly in chaos. He knew that it was Zhou Yu and Huang Gai's sneak attack was successful. He waved the flag and led the generals to cover up the attack. Under Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's two sides, our army was immediately defeated.

At the beginning of the war, Han Dang and Zhou Tai led one army to break into the enemy's camp. In a short while, we blocked our army, which was beyond defense, into several sections. Then the two armies started a melee on the triangular plain under Shenting Ridge.

"Kill!" Seeing that the war was intensified, Taishici shot Cheng Pu's big knife and led his army to the ridge to kill, trying to capture Sun Ce to stabilize the morale of the army. Seeing this, Zhou Tai hurriedly stopped him with two axes, and the two fought hard on the mountainside. At the same time, Han Dang and Jiang Qinzheng launched an attack on our army from the left and right sides, trying to encircle our central army.

The blazing flames rose from behind the camp, and countless supplies were ignited by the enemy soldiers, turning into tongues of flames all over the sky. Under the flashing of fire, the enemy soldiers rushed from all directions like a tide, launching wave after wave of fierce attacks. They held countless torches high, setting fires around, and fighting with us in hand-to-hand combat in the fences and tents.

The dragon fought in the wild, and the harsh sound of weapons intertwined, the shouts and screams of soldiers were intertwined. A small group of soldiers and I were isolated at the foot of the mountain in front of the formation, surrounded by Sun Ce's soldiers. Looking out, there were tents and flags everywhere, and I couldn't see where Liu Yao and others were.

"Only by rushing through the camp and heading towards Shenting Ridge, I can get out of trouble." While thinking about the situation of the battle, I judged the direction of the breakthrough.

With a certain idea, I rode my horse and rushed into the camp full of fire. Two enemy cavalry rushing in front were stabbed by me and fell down. The unowned horses ran around and fled and fell. The soldiers behind me saw me leaving and hurriedly followed behind. Fortunately, I didn't meet the enemy general in this battle. After finally killing Sun Cejun, who had finally stopped intercepting, temporarily escaped from the battle circle.

When I rushed to the ridge hard, I was almost so tired that I couldn't even pick up the wand. When I touched my back, I was already sweating.

After a while of breathing, I tidied up my helmet, tightened my belt, and looked at the battle situation below the ridge. In the camp, Sun Ce's cavalry was slashing and killing our soldiers who were injured and fell to the ground. Not far from us, some enemy scattered soldiers were wandering. When the number of people was not superior, they would not attack us for the moment.

Only the small hill in the northwest direction of the Houying Mountains were heard, and I don’t know who was fighting with the enemy.

"Gao—." I rushed towards the northwest as soon as I destroyed the war horse.

Not long after walking, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind me. I looked back and saw dozens of cavalry still following me. I wondered: "Our army is defeated, and you still don't leave quickly, why are you following me?"

When he looked at the familiar cavalry, he replied, "The day before yesterday, General Taishi Ci came out of the battle, and all the generals were ridiculed. Only the general followed closely behind, and the battle between Zhou Tai was undefeated. Zhang Ying and Chen Heng were unable to do so. We followed you and will surely be able to save our lives."

The young master was very sharp-tongued and shouted at the general. When people who didn't know thought I was really a general. However, no one would be angry after hearing this nice words, and I was of course no exception.

I laughed and said, "If you believe in me, then follow me!"

When the young master saw me agree, he suddenly replied, "Thank you, General!"

Then I remembered that this little pawn was the one who said yesterday that Taishi Ci would definitely defeat him. I thought that he was obeying my courage and ability, so that he followed me.

When they reached the foot of the hill, the shouts of killing in front became closer. I looked carefully and found that it was Liu Yao. The central army led by Zhang Ying was surrounded by the general Huang Gai under Sun Ce. Han Dang led the crowd and could not escape. Just now, Liu Yao and Zhang Ying saw that the enemy was powerful and did not dare to resist the enemy. In panic, they led their personal guards to retreat to the camp. However, they walked to the hills and were blocked by Huang Gai who ambushed here.

Han Dang, who saw that he could not find Liu Yao in the camp, was so upset that he heard the sound of killing in the hills behind the camp that he led his army to come over. Zhang Ying and Chen Heng saw that there was no way out, so he had to bite the bullet and face him to fight. Zhang Ying, who had seen Huang Gai's banner in the morning, remembered the miserable situation of fleeing when Likou defeated and fled. He couldn't help but feel timid. How could he dare to fight? He pulled his head and rushed towards Han Dang.

There was no three-way battle, Han Dang raised his sword and chopped Zhang Ying off his horse. Huang Gai also fought with Chen Heng. It seemed that if there was no five-way battle, Huang Gai would be defeated.

I was hesitating to save or not, but suddenly I heard someone shouting loudly: "Gao Chong, lord is here, come and save him!"

I heard the sound and looked at it, but it was Chen Heng. Chen Heng had been my boss for several days. At this time, Huang Gai was so embarrassed that he was killed by Huang Gai. In a hurry, when he saw me leading a army to fight, he was like encountering a life-saving straw in the sea, and he didn't care about anything else.

I thought to myself: "Although Liu Yao has no ability to use anyone, he is not very evil. He is a relative of the Han Dynasty. Although the Yangzhou governor, who was personally taught by the court, is defeated now, as long as the Han Dynasty is still majestic, the loyal and righteous people who support the court will follow him. Now he is trapped by the enemy. If I save him from danger, the generals will think that I am loyal and righteous. If I don't save him when I die, it will not only violate the morality of the world, but also be disliked by the Han Dynasty. It is really unwise."

Thinking of this, I shouted loudly and rushed over. Three enemy cavalry in front rushed towards me with their spears. I lowered my body and dodged the spears, and swept across the spear with my backhand. The two cavalry who rushed in front were pushed down by force. The next cavalry saw that their companions had lost their lives in an instant, so scared that they were stuck there. I raised my hand and stabbed the neck with a spear. The blood of the neck was more than a foot high. The corpse hung on the spear, like an extremely blood-red battle flag, sprinting towards the enemy formation with me.

The enemy soldiers around were shocked by my astonishing attacks. They looked at each other and dodged my charge one after another. Seeing that I was so brave, Han Dang suddenly became more and more murderous, and raised his sword and slapped his horse to greet him.

"Han Dang--." I shouted inwardly, and he was the one who cut me off when Likou knocked me down.

I will never forget those pairs of murderous eyes and the extremely proud arrogance.

Although I have not improved a lot in my martial arts skills in just one month, my combat experience has made great progress. Gou Jin and panic when I first went into battle had long passed. Facing the enemy's bloody head, I felt even more blood-devouring and crazy.

Han Dang's sword slashed straight towards him with fierce murderous aura. Before he could approach, I could already smell a strong bloody aura. This was probably caused by the unjust soul who died under this sword. I did not rush to set up a big sword, but urged the war horse to rush towards Han Dang. At the same time, the long horn in my hand stretched out flat, like an extremely long sword stabbing Han Dang's chest. This is a tactic of both losses. If Han Dang continues to kill, although his sword can hit me, at the same time, the long horn in my hand can also stab him into a hole.

Han Dang did not expect that I would use such a desperate move when I first met. He was in a panic and didn't care about the attack. He quickly turned sideways and let my stings go sideways. The two horses intertwine. I took advantage of the opportunity to hand the slings with my left hand, pulled out the short halberd from behind with my right hand, and thrust violently at Han Dang who was passing by.

Han Dang was also very proud. With a tiger roar, he twisted his body and slid to the left side of the abdomen of the horse under his stalker, easily avoiding my thunderous thorns. He felt the emptiness from the tip of the halberd. I swept Han Dang from the corner of my eyes, and just caught a glimpse of him staring at me with a pair of murderous eyes.

"It's you!" Han Dang roared in a low voice.

I understand that Han Dang finally recognized me, the little pawn who was chopped off by him.

The horse was rushing straight forward. While I inserted my short halberd back behind me, I also stung my hands together to prick it. Two soldiers came to snipe Han Dangmen hit the front chest and the other one hit the neck, and immediately killed them. Under my strong impact, the enemy soldiers around unconsciously dodged to both sides, and a gap was torn open to the enemy's encirclement.

"Why don't you leave quickly!" I shouted to Liu Yao and others who were still at a loss.

After saying that, he urged the horse to rush towards the gap. Liu Yao, Xu Shao and others came to their senses. The group of personal soldiers who had no fighting spirit had a glimmer of hope at this time, and they shouted in unison and rushed behind me. After nearly an hour of fighting, we finally managed to kill a bloody road.

"General Gao, can you take a moment in front of you?" Liu Yao's voice was weak.

I held the reins of the horse and looked back. When I saw Liu Yao, Xu Shao and others were sweating profusely, with pale faces and so tired that they could hardly lift their arms. And the more than ten cavalry who had rushed with me before were only three cavalry left. The familiar little bar just now disappeared, and I thought I was no longer in the formation.

My heart was cramped. They followed me because they trusted me, hoping that I could bring them a way out, but now, what I gave them is death.

"Where is General Chen Heng?" Liu Yao asked. At this time, he could still remember the safety of his soldiers, but he was not a heartless person.

Just now when I broke out of the siege, I saw Chen Heng being knocked down by Huang Gai. It was probably a great disaster now.

Xu Shao cried and said, "Lord, Chen Heng has also died in battle."

After hearing this, Liu Yao beat his chest and stamped his feet, and cried and said, "The land of Danyang is full of enemies. Zhang Ying, Chen Heng, and Fan Neng are all killed. Is it because the heaven is going to destroy me, Liu Yao!"

Xu Shao had no idea at this time and reluctantly calmed down. He advised: "Lord, don't be panic. Although Danyang has lost this time, fortunately, Kuaiji is still in Xu Gong and Wang Lang's hands. We can surrender to these two places and issue a manifesto to unite the heroes of all walks of life. When gathering elite soldiers and generals, we will come to the decisive battle with Sun Ce."

I thought: Xu Shaokong has a reputation and is truly a scholar. After Sun Ce defeated Liu Yao, his next target was Wujun and Kuaiji. With Sun Ce's current strength, Xu Gong and Wang Lang would be like blocking a car with a mantis arm, which would be useless at all. If Liu Yao defected to Wujun and Kuaiji, he would be chased and ran away again in a short time. What's more serious is Wujun, Kuaiji is facing the sea in the east. At that time, unless you jump into the sea, you will have to wait for it.

Thinking of this, I didn't care about my identity and retorted loudly: "Wu County, Kuaiji's military strength is not as strong as us. How can it be Sun Ce's opponent? If it is defeated again, will the lord run to the sea? Now, the six counties of Yangzhou, except for Wu, Kuaiji and Yuzhang, have all fallen. The only place where the lord can go is Yuzhang County. It is remote and sparsely populated. Sun Ce can't take care of it for the time being. What's more beneficial is that Yuzhang is backed by Jingzhou. Even if Sun Ce leads troops to attack in the future, the lord can send envoys to express his alliance with Liu Jingzhou. Then Liu Biao and Sun Ce have a grudge against his father, and they will definitely agree."

When Liu Yao heard what I said, his eyes that were already dull and lost, showed a glimmer of hope. His lips were trembling, but he was so excited that he could not make a sound. This time, Liu Yao defeated Shentingling, and suddenly saw hope again at the critical moment of despair. The first time was I rushed into the siege and saved him, and the second time was a sentence I just said, which made him see the direction again.

Xu Shao even grabbed my hand and shouted at me: "Shao Chong, you are indeed the one who rescues us from trouble. I, Xu Zi, have not read the wrong person!"

At this moment, the enemy soldiers behind us shouted and chased us. I looked at the banner carefully and it turned out to be Sun Ce's central army. If Sun Ce had chased him personally, his army would have surrounded the place. We were now trapped in the deserted soldiers, and no matter how hard we rose up, we could not escape.

I was crying in my heart. When I was depressed and helpless, I suddenly saw an army in Fangji who came to break through the enemy. I was shocked and wondering who was so brave. But I heard someone shouting loudly: "Taishi Ci is here, lord, don't panic!"
