When the Jiangdong Army took action, Lu Bu immediately determined that Zhou Yu planned to lead his army to retreat into the mountains to start a long confrontation with him.

The hills are all rolling around Shouchun.

The hills are not high but they are constantly undulating. It is not easy for a large army to lurk in it.

Lu Bu ordered: "Zilong led his army to raid the enemy's rear formation, and Shu went to the rear of the Chiyan Army Hall to clear the enemy's troops."

Zhao Yun and Chen Dao received the military order.

The Red Flame Army stood on its own under the leadership of Chen Dao, while Zhao Yun led the troops to rush towards the Jiangdong Army under Ling Cao's troops.

Leading the soldiers to the Jiangdong Army, Zhao Yun rushed to the front with a spear.

Ling Cao, who was ordered to take over Zhou Tai's troops, saw Zhao Yun rushing over and killing him.

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army lined up behind him shouted and rushed towards Zhao Yun.

In terms of courage, Lu Bu is indeed unparalleled.

However, Zhao Yun is not something Ling Cao can deal with.

One of them was wrong. Zhao Yun thrust forward with a spear. Ling Cao quickly blocked it, but he suddenly kicked it in the waist and fell off the horse.

Ling Cao fell off his horse, and Jiang Dongjun, who was following behind, hurried forward and snatched him away.

Zhao Yunze rushed into the Jiangdong army formation with a long spear.

The spear flew, and the Jiangdong army standing in front of him were beaten to the ground.

In just a moment, Zhao Yun broke out into a path among the Jiangdong Army.

The soldiers who followed him to charge shouted and collided with Jiangdong Army.

Zhou Tai's capture by Lu Bu has caused great damage to the morale of the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army.

If Ling Cao could stabilize the front line, he might be able to recover some lost morale.

But he met Zhao Yun.

The two of them were just a wrong horse, and Ling Cao was put off by Zhao Yun. Although he was not worried about his life, he was unable to fight back.

Zhou Yu sent Ling Cao to the back formation. He thought he could withstand it for a while, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yun would give him up as soon as the two sides fought.

At first, the Jiangdong Army mustered up the courage to fight, but under the fierce attack of Zhao Yun and the soldiers led by him, they soon lost the will to fight.

The Jiangdong army in front was still fighting with Lu Bu army, while the one behind had already developed a desire to retreat.

Lu Bu's capture of Zhou Tai has greatly boosted morale.

Zhao Yun knocked Ling Cai down with a mistake, which was more like giving the soldiers a shot of a heart attack.

Faced with the fierce attack of Lu Bu's army, how could the Jiangdong army resist it?

Finally, someone in the back formation began to escape.

The soldiers who were resisting the enemy found that their companions retreated regardless of their retreat, and their remaining fighting will collapse instantly.

The Jiangdong Army began to flee, and Zhao Yun led his army to cover up and kill.

The Jiangdong Army was cut down to the ground everywhere along the way.

Zhao Yun dispersed the enemy's rear formation, and Lu Bu pointed in front of the halberd: "Soldiers, kill with me! Those who capture Zhou Yu will be rewarded with ten beauties! They will be promoted to the third level!"

Adding the title and warm beauty has always been the deepest temptations.

As soon as Lu Bu shouted, countless soldiers rushed out like a tide.

The retreat of the Jiangdong Army was not as smooth as Zhou Yu thought.

Zhao Yun dispersed their back formation, and then Lu Bu, who came up, rushed directly into the main formation.

After retreating into the mountains and forests, Zhou Yu asked someone to count the number of people.

The two sides only fought an encounter, and the army of 15,000 people was left with only two or three thousand people.

Jiangdong Army, who followed him back into the mountains, all looked depressed and had no belief in fighting at all.

Looking around the Jiangdong Army soldiers, Zhou Yu's face was also very bad.

He asked the guard beside him: "What's wrong with General Ling?"

The guard replied, "I was not fatally injured, I just fell hard. I broke my two ribs and I'll be able to rest for some time."

Zhou Yu was speechless and waved his hand to signal the guard to retreat.

Looking back on the entire battle process, he suddenly realized that Lu Bu did not take any strategy at all, and just defeated them by bravery alone.

The gap between the two sides is not in deployment and strategy, but in the fact that the Jiangdong Army has no powerful general who can compete with Lu Bu.

Zhou Tai was barely able to fight Lu Bu, but he would sooner or later lose.

Regardless of whether Zhou Yu sounded or not at that time, the result of Zhou Tai's capture was irreversible.

It was not until this time that Zhou Yu realized that from the beginning, Lu Bu's purpose was not him, but Zhou Tai, the first fierce general around him.

If Zhou Tai is captured, the morale of the Jiangdong Army will surely plummet.

The success or failure of this battle was all about Zhou Tai.

After defeating Zhou Yu's army, Lu Bu did not return to Shouchun.

He ordered a scout to investigate Zhou Yu's movements who fled into the mountains and forests, and was ready for the next fight at any time.

Standing outside the military camp with his hips on his hips, Lu Bu looked at the mountains and forests in the distance.

Zhao Yun came over: "Wen Hou, how to deal with so many prisoners?"

"Send it to Shouchun and leave it to Wenyuan for care." Lu Bu said: "We did not leave any living mouths before because we could not march with the prisoners. Now we are so close to Shouchun, there is no need to kill the prisoners. The Central Plains have been fighting for many years, and the population has dropped sharply. If the Central Plains are weak, foreign races will rise. If there are too many people, we will harm ourselves sooner or later."

"I understand." Zhao Yun responded, and then asked, "What should Zhou Tai do?"

"Send it to Shouchun too." Lu Bu said: "Let Shuzhi lead the Chiyan Army to escort him personally, and Zhou Yu has two or three thousand troops. If he can save Zhou Tai, the battle will be difficult to fight later."

"I'll tell my uncle now." Zhao Yun took the order and left.

Lu Bu stepped on his waist and continued to look into Bagong Mountain in the distance.

Bagong Mountains are endless, and Zhou Yu escaped into the mountains. Even if he sent so many scouts, he might not be able to find him.

Zhou Lang from Jiangdong finally came to Huainan. It would be a pity if he ran away!

Zhou Yu hid in the mountains and had no news for two or three consecutive days.

Chen Dao led the Chiyan Army to escort Zhou Tai and Jiangdong Army prisoners to Shouchun, but was not intercepted.

The Chiyan Army has a large number of people, and they are also elite soldiers selected by Chen Dao.

Although he suffered a big defeat, Zhou Yu was not an ordinary leader after all.

Chen Dao escorted the prisoners to Shouchun, and the movement was not too small. He must have sent a scout to find out the situation.

If it were someone else, he might choose to intercept Chen to take back Zhou Tai at this time.

After all, if Zhou Tai is regained, the morale lost by the soldiers will be somewhat saved.

But Zhou Yu didn't do that.

It is impossible for a master general like him to see the gap between the Red Flame Army and the defeated generals under his command.

With just two or three thousand people, it was simply a delusion to try to regain prisoners of war from the Red Flame Army, which was even more numerous than them!

Zhou Yu did not move anyway, but Lu Bu couldn't sit still.

Bagong Mountain is continuous and the scouts have not brought back any useful news yet. The Jiangdong Army hiding in the forest seems to have disappeared out of thin air.
