Chapter 144: A hundred horses chasing a tiger, cutting off the beard and abandoning the robe
Standing on a high platform, Sun Quan could see far.
When he saw the fire coming from the public security port, he stood there dumbly as if he had been struck by lightning.
Previously, Zhang Zhao proposed a plan, saying that he could take advantage of the public security war and use this as a reason to constantly beg for food and grass from various families in Jiangdong, so as to weaken their power.
Sun Quan adopted Zhang Zhao's suggestion.
After he came to the Public Security Bureau, he continued to transport grain and grass from Jiangdong to the Public Security Bureau and hoarded them in the Public Security Port.
Thanks to the continuous transportation in the past few days, and the fact that Lu Meng had previously hoarded hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass outside the public security port, there were now millions of stones of grain and grass outside the public security port.
These grains are all Jiangdong's savings in the past five years.
These grains and fodder will be Sun Quan's capital to compete with Liu Bei and Cao Cao for hegemony in the future.
But now as the fire lit up, the millions of stones, grain and grass, Sun Quan's biggest capital for hegemony, had turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.
The fire at the Public Security Port burned down not only all Jiangdong's military ration reserves, but also Sun Quan's ambitions.
The fire at the public security port became more and more intense, and the bewitching fire reflected in Sun Quan's eyes, like a heart-eating demonic flame, shattering his defenses bit by bit.
Sun Quan couldn't help but fell to his knees, covered his face and cried bitterly.
Jiangdong will decline in his hands.
At this time, Mi Yang had led two thousand barbarians to the foot of the high platform.
It was only because Wu's army was scattered in all directions and their numbers seemed chaotic that they temporarily blocked Mi Yang's progress.
But as Mi Yang and the two thousand barbarians behind him kept slashing and killing Wu Jun with their swords, the area within a few feet around him gradually became empty.
Gu Li, who was on the high platform, felt anxious when he saw this scene.
If Mi Yang climbed up to the high platform, Sun Quan would definitely die here.
Gu Li saw that Sun Quan was still crying at this time, so he had to temporarily ignore his superiority and help Sun Quan directly up.
Then he commanded Sun Quan's personal guards, and together they guarded Sun Quan down from the high platform.
Although Mi Yang kept killing Wu Jun, his eyes were always focused on Sun Quan on the high platform.
When he saw that Sun Quan had been helped off the platform by his personal guards, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
In his eyes, Sun Quan is now a child with military exploits.
The kind that reaches full level immediately after eating it. Anyone who stops him from eating it will be killed by him.
In a hurry, Mi Yang waved the long sword in his hand desperately, killing all the Wu troops who were fleeing around him.
Then he immediately led the two thousand barbarians behind him and pursued Sun Quan.
However, during the pursuit, Mi Yang ordered people to go up and cut down Sun Quan's flag on the high platform.
Just now, Mi Yang was able to discover Sun Quan's whereabouts at a glance, and he must be grateful to the "incomparably noble" Sun Quan Shuaiqi.
The handsome flag represents the existence of Sun Quan, and it is also the place where Sun Quan is in the hearts of tens of thousands of Wu soldiers.
When Sun Quan's commanding flag was cut down by Mi Yang's men, he immediately ordered his men to shout: "Sun Quan is a rat, and he has personally violated the police. With one strike of Mi Lang's sword, he will kill himself."
At this time, due to the large-scale defeat of the Wu army, the thousands of Han troops led by Guan Ping had switched from resisting the Wu army to pursuing the Wu army, so they also came to the vicinity of Mi Yang.
After thousands of Han soldiers heard Mi Yang's cry, they also shouted: "Sun Quan's rat son has personally violated the public security. Mi Lang killed himself with a sword."
Under the shouts of thousands of Han troops, this voice soon reached the ears of all Wu troops present.
The Wu troops below raised their heads and looked towards the high platform. They saw that Sun Quan's flag had been cut down.
Coupled with the words shouted by thousands of Han troops, all Wu troops thought that Sun Quan had encountered something unexpected, and their collapse became even more violent.
It has reached an irreversible point.
Sun Quan, who was being helped off the high platform by his personal guards, almost spat out a mouthful of blood after hearing what the Han soldiers shouted.
He turned around and looked at Mi Yang who was not far away, but when he saw Mi Yang, Mi Yang also happened to look at him.
Their eyes collided in the firelight.
When Sun Quan saw the murderous intent in Mi Yang's eyes, he was instantly frightened and turned his head, mounted his horse and ran forward.
When Mi Yang saw Sun Quan not far in front of him, he quickly clapped his horse and chased Sun Quan.
Sun Quan's personal guards saw Mi Yang leading his troops and chasing closely behind him. Under Gu Li's order, they all turned around and started to kill Mi Yang.
Sun Quan's personal guards have followed Sun Quan for decades. They are the last guards around Sun Quan now that nearly 100,000 Wu troops have been routed.
Thousands of Sun Quan's troops turned around and charged towards Mi Yang and the two thousand cavalry troops behind him. Facing this suicidal charge, Mi Yang showed no fear.
He drove the horse under his crotch and leaped high from the ground. He avoided the spear thrust of one of Sun Quan's soldiers.
While in mid-air, Mi Yang moved his body and slashed backwards with his sword. The bodyguard of Sun Quan who stabbed him with a spear was immediately dismembered.
The prince's four friends are all people with extraordinary riding skills.
After Mi Yang finished beheading this Sun Quan soldier, more than two thousand barbarians behind Mi Yang also drove their horses and rushed into the formation of more than a thousand Sun Quan's soldiers.
After more than two thousand barbarians rushed into the formation of thousands of Sun Quan's troops, Sun Quan's troops, who had no unified command, were instantly killed and turned upside down.
But the more than two thousand Wuxi barbarians are all infantry after all, and they are not good at riding.
Normally, they would be able to control war horses, but if they were allowed to kill them on horseback, it would be unaccustomed to them.
Therefore, after charging for a while, the two thousand or so barbarian soldiers dismounted and continued to kill the thousands of Sun Quan's troops.
Seeing this scene, Mi Yang tried to stop it.
But at this time, Samoko didn't know where to go to kill the enemy. He couldn't command the two thousand barbarian soldiers without knowing the barbarian language.
Moreover, it was urgent to pursue Sun Quan now, so Mi Yang could only lead more than a hundred of his guards to continue chasing Sun Quan.
Sun Quan's pro-army troops have been blocked by two thousand barbarians, and now there is no obstacle between Mi Yang and Sun Quan.
Sun Quan, who had been squinting at the situation at the rear, was frightened to death when he saw Mi Yang leading more than a hundred cavalry troops to break through the obstacles of his own troops and continue to attack him.
Sun Quan whipped his horse whip hard, hoping that the horse could take him out of danger again.
During the battle at Xiaoyaojin, it was the horse from the north under his lap that crossed the wide Xiaoyaojin and saved his life.
In order to maximize the advantage of his horse, Sun Quan rode his horse towards the depths of the camp.
He hoped to rely on the superb jumping ability of the horse under his crotch and use various tents in the camp to get rid of Mi Yang behind him.
But Mi Yang's own riding skills are not bad, and the riding skills of his more than a hundred personal guards are also extraordinary.
So even though the horses under their crotches were not comparable to Sun Quan's, Mi Yang and more than a hundred guards still clung to Sun Quan.
The deeper you go into the camp, the weaker the surrounding firelight becomes.
Mi Yang was worried that he had lost Sun Quan. Looking at Sun Quan's red robe that stood out in the dark night, he shouted loudly: "The one wearing the red robe is Sun Quan!"
"Whoever captures and kills Sun Quan will be granted the title of Marquis of ten thousand households and will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins!"
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
When Mi Yang shouted, the hundreds of cavalrymen behind him also shouted excitedly.
After Sun Quan heard Mi Yang's cry, he was so frightened that he quickly took off his robe and threw it on the ground.
Mi Yang was startled by Sun Quan's actions.
At this time, he saw Sun Quan's long beard fluttering in the wind behind him, and he shouted again: "The one with the long beard is Sun Quan!"
"Whoever captures and kills Sun Quan will be granted the title of Marquis of ten thousand households and will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins!"
More than a hundred Mi Yang's pro-army troops followed Mi Yang and shouted loudly.
After Sun Quan heard these words, he was so frightened that he took out his sword and cut off his long beard.
When Sun Quan led the Northern Expedition to Hefei, he was called General Purple Beard by Zhang Liao because of his majestic appearance.
Purple means power.
In the past, Sun Quan had always regarded his long beard as a beauty. Unexpectedly, in order to escape for his life today, he had to cut off his long beard, which he had always regarded as a treasure.
Mi Yang saw that Sun Quan was so decisive, and finally he could only shout: "The man with a short beard like an official is Sun Quan!"
When Sun Quan heard that Mi Yang compared him to a eunuch, he almost fainted on his horse.
But Mi Yang was chasing after him like a sharp knife. Before Mi Yang's hundreds of cavalrymen could shout, he was so frightened that he immediately pulled up his clothes and wrapped his chin and ran away on horseback in order to save his life.
At this time, Wu Jun, who was running around in the camp, saw a familiar-looking man with a man holding his clothes riding a horse galloping past them. They were stunned.
Is that the Supreme?
Later, they saw that Mi Yang, who was not far behind Sun Quan, had led an army to kill him. They were so frightened that they fell to the ground, hoping that Mi Yang did not see them.
As Mi Yang went deeper and deeper into the Wu Army camp, the Jiangdong soldiers who had seen him in the Wu Army camp spread rumors:
Mi Lang rides a hundred horses, you must avoid it to save your life!
The slogan "Mi Lang" chanted by thousands of Han troops in the first battle has become a nightmare for all Wu troops after the Wu army was defeated.
Therefore, after hearing this rumor, the Jiangdong soldiers who were still in the camp fled away as if they were seeing ghosts and gods when they saw Mi Yang.
Originally there were not many Jiangdong soldiers in the camp, but after being frightened like this, Mi Yang led more than a hundred cavalry troops as if they were in an uninhabited land.
At this time, Mi Yang pursued Sun Quan and came to an open area in the camp. Seeing that there were no tents around to block him, Mi Yang immediately ordered the hundreds of cavalry behind him to fire arrows.
Just now, Sun Quan relied on his familiarity with Wu Jun's camp to put a considerable distance between him and Mi Yang.
Because of the poor sight line and the long distance, the hit rate of the hundreds of arrows was low.
But despite this, two arrows still hit Sun Quan in the shoulder.
After the arrow entered his body, Sun Quan on the horse immediately let out two screams of pain.
The worst thing was that a stray arrow hit the leg of Sun Quan's war horse. The horse fell forward in pain, knocking Sun Quan off the horse.
Fortunately, there were no hard rocks in the camp, but soft ground. Otherwise, Sun Quan might have been killed by this fall.
Although Sun Quan was not thrown to death, when Sun Quan got up again after falling to the ground, the military crown on his head had been thrown away.
Without a crown to restrain his hair, Sun Quan's hair became disheveled, like a bereaved dog.
There were countless bruises on his body, and Sun Quan kept grinning in pain.
When Gu Li, who was beside Sun Quan, saw this, he immediately stopped his horse.
Seeing that Mi Yang's pursuers were already at the rear, he immediately helped Sun Quan onto his horse, then slapped the horse's leg and let his horse take Sun Quan away.
As for Gu Li, he picked up a spear from the ground and went in the direction of Sun Quan's escape to kill Mi Yang.
When Gu Li shouted and came to kill Mi Yang, he was shot by an arrow from the knight behind Mi Yang before he even came to Mi Yang.
But after Gu Li was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, he just picked up his breath and got up from the ground, and rushed towards Mi Yang.
The next moment, Gu Li was hit by hundreds of arrows, and he knelt down and died.
Gu Li's scream after being shot to death by an arrow frightened Sun Quan, who was riding in front of him, to tremble.
Seeing that there was no one around him at this time, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "Back then, Gan Ning and Ling Tong fought to the death of the Lord of the Guard. Do I have no loyal generals today?"
Just after Sun Quan looked up to the sky and sighed, many torches suddenly appeared in front of him, which frightened Sun Quan and caused him to fall off his horse again.
"My life is at an end."
Sun Quan thought that the torches appearing in front were an ambush arranged by Mi Yang.
And when Sun Quan fell from his horse, a happy exclamation came out from among the hundreds of torches.
"Supreme!"
The person who made this exclamation was none other than Lu Xun.
It turned out that after Lu Xun guessed Mi Yang's true intention, he wanted to lead troops to garrison at the Public Security Port just in case.
But he didn't expect that before his army was assembled, the Wu army had already suffered a huge rout.
In the rout, many of his soldiers were scattered.
Later, Lu Xun heard the news of Sun Quan's death in the rebellious army, which made him extremely anxious.
But with the idea that even if Sun Quan died, Sun Quan's body would still be found.
Lu Xun led the remaining hundreds of soldiers and went against the direction of the retreat of tens of thousands of Wu troops to find Sun Quan.
Along the way, Lu Xun gathered many more scattered soldiers, and gradually he had hundreds of soldiers.
Now Huangtian has paid off and finally allowed him to find Sun Quan.
Lu Xun immediately stepped forward to help Sun Quan up.
At this time, Sun Quan not only had a short beard, but also had bruises all over his face, making him look like a clown.
If you weren't familiar with Sun Quan, it would be difficult to recognize him.
When Sun Quan saw that it was his niece-in-law Lu Xun and not the ambush set by Mi Yang, he stood up and hugged Lu Xun tightly as if he had seen a savior.
This is his loyal minister!
Just as Sun Quan and Lu Xun were hugging each other and crying, Mi Yang and his cavalry had already arrived in front of them.
When Sun Quan saw Mi Yang attack again, a look of fear appeared on his face and he hid behind Lu Xun.
Lu Xun also learned about the rumor that Mi Lang led a hundred cavalry to break the camp just now from the rebels.
Now that he saw a young general leading a hundred cavalry chasing him here, he guessed that the heroic young general in front of him was Mi Yang.
After Mi Yang arrived, Lu Xun immediately ordered hundreds of infantry behind him to step forward and block Sun Quan's front.
Mi Yang turned the horse's head and kept circling in front of the formation of hundreds of infantry led by Lu Xun.
As Lu Xun went around recruiting defeated troops, the number of Wu troops here increased.
But even though his own side was more numerous than Mi Yang's, Lu Xun saw the fearless look on Mi Yang's face and did not dare to act rashly for a while.
Mi Yang saw that there were more and more Wu troops behind Lu Xun, and he knew that Sun Quan could not be captured today.
Thinking of the general who just blocked the road with his body and now gathered his troops to protect Sun Quan, Mi Yang couldn't help but sigh:
Sun Quan is so lucky!
With these loyal ministers here, the destruction of Jiangdong will not be achieved in a day.
More and more Wu troops began to gather behind Lu Xun.
But they knew that the person in front of them was the Mi Lang who defeated their 100,000-strong army tonight.
Therefore, although there were many of them, they did not dare to step forward because of the deep awe of Mi Yang in their hearts.
At this moment, Mi Yang took the initiative to take a step forward on his horse and shouted loudly: "What is Mi Lang talking about?"
This sentence means, how is Mi Lang tonight?
After Mi Yang shouted these words, more than a hundred cavalrymen behind him also shouted: "What is Mi Lang talking about?"
The shouts of more than a hundred strong men were loud and loud, shaking the enemy formation and frightening many Wu troops behind Lu Xun to take a step back.
After seeing this scene, Mi Yang laughed and led more than a hundred cavalry troops away.
From the beginning to the end, no Wu army dared to come out to intercept Mi Yang's departure.
Tonight, the blood of tens of thousands of friendly troops, and the fire that stretched for dozens of miles, created Mi Yang's incomparable reputation.
Lu Xun looked at the impressive young general riding away, and he secretly swore in his heart:
He will definitely avenge Jiangdong.
When the fire gradually subsided, a song spread in the ruins of the Wu Army camp:
Zhang and Mi stopped crying together.
The white deer of Han swallowed up the Wu people.
