Zhou Tai escorted Sun Quan to fight and leave. As soon as he arrived at Xiaoshi Bridge in Jinkou, he saw Cao Jun demolishing the bridge, and most of the bridge deck had broken, and the broken wooden boards were swept away by the river.
Li Dian shot through the air and disrupted Sun Quan's retreat route. Although general Zhou Tai fought bravely and continued to fight, the Jiangdong soldiers became even more timid when they saw that their retreat was cut off.
The Confucian general Li Dian did not like to rely on bravery to fight fiercely, and he did not have Zhang Liao's ability to get into the battle first. He just calmly commanded Cao's soldiers to surround and kill the frightened Jiangdong soldiers, and cooperated with Zhang Liao to retain the remaining thousands of people.
During the battle, Li Dian keenly noticed hundreds of halberd-wielding warriors, escorting more than ten riders fleeing east and west. He intuitively believed that there were important figures among them, so he ordered his soldiers to attack Sun Quan's warriors.
Sun Quan was also panicked at this time. He ran away and said: "Why is this partial army always chasing us?"
Gu Li, the supervisor of the army, reminded: "My lord's brocade robe and golden helmet are really eye-catching, and they can easily become the target of Cao's army. To avoid attracting attention, why not discard them?"
"You bastard, what's the point of taking the lead and abandoning your helmet and armor?" Sun Quan was still concerned about his image at this time.
Gu Li said sincerely: "Today's crisis is comparable to that of Cao Cao in Tongguan. He is so dignified as the Duke of Wei that he can cut off his beard and abandon his robe. My lord, please do not hesitate."
Due to Li Dian's fierce attack from behind, fewer and fewer tiger soldiers surrounded Sun Quan. The accompanying general Zhou Tai clasped his fists and said: "My lord, why don't you change your armor and robes with the last general, so that I can attract Cao Jun's attention."
"Uh... that's fine..." Sun Quan thought for a moment and then agreed.
After simply changing his helmet and robe with Zhou Tai, Sun Quan looked like a barbarian cavalryman.
"The general will now return to his horse to meet Duke Yi (Han Dang) and attract Cao's army from behind. The lord can take the opportunity to take a detour and find a way to cross the river." Zhou Tai tied up his brocade robe and said.
Gu Li quickly stopped him: "General Zhou had better not divide his troops first. If Cao's troops don't fall into the trap, it will be in trouble. But at the same time, he can return to join General Han. Although our army's morale is low, its total strength is greater than that of Cao's army.
It’s time to take advantage of the troubled waters to break through.”
"This..." Zhou Tai asked Sun Quan for his opinion.
Sun Quan was running back and forth in confusion. He forced himself to think calmly, and finally pointed to the north and said: "The generals will follow Gu Li's advice. Let's gather together first and then disperse. Cao's army will not be able to catch up..."
"Wei." Zhou Tai nodded.
Zhou Tai was particularly eye-catching in his golden helmet and red brocade robe. In addition, he rushed back and forth to kill the generals, which quickly attracted Li Dian's attention. He ordered Cao's army to bite the enemy in front of him.
Sun Quan's troops moved north, while Han Dang delayed Zhang Liao's troops and fled south. Soon the two armies joined forces.
In order to delay Zhang Liao, Han Dang rushed into the crowd to fight with him, but he almost fell down after a few rounds. Fortunately, his deputy Tian Qi risked his life to save him and escaped. Thousands of Jiangdong soldiers behind him had no intention of fighting, and the battle was less than half
Within an hour, he ran desperately towards Xiaoshiqiao.
The rebel army was like birds and beasts and did not listen to human speech. No matter how Han Dang tried to stop him, it was useless. Unfortunately, his deputy Tian Qi died in the battle. When Han Dang followed Sun Quan to besiege Huangzu in Jiangxia, Tian Qi sacrificed his life when hundreds of horses in Ganning and Ning robbed the camp.
He was rescued, but in the end he did not escape the fate of blocking the knife.
When Han Dang and Zhou Tai joined forces, they had a scuffle with Cao's army. From a distance, Han Dang saw "Sun Quan" (Zhou Tai) charging back and forth with his sword, as if he was seeing the little overlord of those days.
"That's what a good man should do." Han Dang ignited his fighting spirit and tried his best to block the pursuers, and tried to get closer to 'Sun Quan', but the opponent was like a wild horse out of control, and no one knew whether he was breaking through or counterattacking.
Zhou Tai's outstanding performance attracted Zhang Liao's attention. He kept dancing the knife for nearly two hours, and his arms became a little sore.
Just when Zhang Liao was about to regroup and pursue Zhou Tai, Li Dian rushed towards him. The total strength of Cao's army was more than half that of Jiangdong's, so they were unable to encircle and annihilate them. They could only chase and kill like a herd of sheep.
"Has the Little Lion Bridge been demolished?" Zhang Liao asked with concern.
Li Dian nodded and replied: "Of course it has been demolished. The Jiangdong soldiers who crossed the river were unable to return to support. I took advantage of the situation and rushed back two thousand lambs, but there seems to be a wolf among the sheep."
The wolf in Li Dian's mouth was naturally Zhou Tai. Zhang Liao nodded and said: "This man is well-dressed and does not seem to be an unknown person. I am preparing to capture him alive."
"The thief will be brave, I will go with the general." Li Dian suggested.
"Good." Zhang Liao nodded.
Zhang Liao and Li Dian rushed straight towards Zhou Tai. When they met the Jiangdong soldiers who were blocking the road, they took them away with one move. During the pursuit, they first encountered General Han Dang.
Han Dang's martial arts skills were not as good as Zhang Liao's, and with Li Dian helping him, he was already in danger within two rounds. Just when he was about to follow in the footsteps of his deputy Tian Qi, a general with a gold helmet and a red robe rushed over.
.
Zhou Tai joined the battle group in time and opened Zhang Liao's sword with one shot.
"Lord...why is it you?"
Han Dang's eyes changed from surprise to joy and then to shock. Before he could react, he was dragged by Zhou Tai and fled into the crowd.
The first surprise was that Sun Quan was so skilled in martial arts, as if his father Sun Jian had come back to life. The happy one was that Sun Quan came to save him in a golden body. The last surprise was that he saw the other party's face clearly, and it turned out that the other party was not Sun Quan but Zhou Zhou.
Tai, that was just my wishful thinking.
"Mancheng, did you hear what Han Dang said just now?" Zhang Liao asked curiously.
"It seems to be my lord?" Li Dian asked tentatively.
Zhang Liao nodded, "It seems... Mancheng is careful..."
Halfway through the words, an arrow flew from the crowd. Zhang Liao hurriedly pulled Li Dian to avoid it, but the arrow hit Li Dian's lower back.
When Zhang Liao dodged, he discovered that the one who fired the cold arrow was a cavalryman. He could vaguely see that the man's upper body was long and his lower body was short. His purple beard was particularly eye-catching, and he looked like a barbarian.
"How are you, Mancheng?" Zhang Liao asked with concern.
Li Dian gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not in the way. That person just now may be Sun Quan. General Zhang can pursue him with all his strength. If he can capture the Lord of Wu, he can take advantage of the opportunity to seize Jiangdong."
"Then take care of yourself." Zhang Liao nodded, raised his sword and went straight to 'Sun Quan'.
Zhang Liao immediately ordered an all-out roundup of the men with golden helmets and red robes, which created an opportunity for Sun Quan to escape.
"Lord, you can leave quickly." Gu Li reminded continuously.
"I wanted to shoot Zhang Liao, but it was a pity that Li Dian became a shield. I haven't shot tigers for a long time..." Sun Quan shook his head in disappointment.
The tiger soldiers got out of the car and escorted Sun Quan to escape to Xiaoyaojin again. At this time, the Xiaoshi Bridge was severely damaged, with only the bridge plates extending on both sides left, and there was a gap of more than ten feet without bridge plates to rely on.
Although Zhang Liao pursued Zhou Tai with all his strength, Li Dian, who was hit by an arrow, was still clear-headed and commanded some of Cao's soldiers to capture Sun Quan.
Sun Quan grabbed the reins and spun around on the edge of the bridge. He looked at the pursuing Cao army from behind and shouted: "There is no way out in front of us, and there are pursuers behind us. What can we do?"
Gu Li pointed to the broken bridge and offered his advice: "My lord, please hold on to the saddle and retreat first, then ride the horse and cross the broken bridge with all your strength."
"Is it feasible?" Sun Quan looked at Gu Li suspiciously.
