No matter how good Zhang Wu was at shooting, he was only one man after all, and the number of people he could shoot was limited. Therefore, although Huang Gai's soldiers were afraid, they could not disobey the military order, so they had to bite the bullet and rush forward with shouts.
But they were pleasantly surprised to find that the man who was good at shooting did not draw an arrow or nock a bow, but just watched quietly. When they rushed to only fifty paces away from him, he suddenly slapped his horse and ran away.
He is afraid!
Huang Gai's soldiers thought so, and became more courageous, and hurriedly chased after him.
But after chasing for about a mile, they found that the road ahead was full of people.
The leader had a handsome appearance, gorgeous clothes, and a wine gourd hanging around his waist. The man holding a bow and riding a red rabbit horse stood beside him, and on the other side was a tall man.
But behind them, there was a large group of soldiers.
They quickly reined in their horses and stopped, looking at the people in front of them with confusion, waiting for Huang Gai to lead his troops to pursue them.
Zhou Ping didn't want them to wait any longer. He raised his hand and pointed forward, and said only one word: "Kill."
Xu Chu received the order and shouted: "Kill with me."
He jumped on the horse and rushed out first, followed by thirty knights from the Hushi camp, and Tai Shici's soldiers behind him also rushed forward with shouts.
The guards Zhang Wuhe brought stayed with Zhou Ping to protect him and did not rush forward.
Huang Gai's soldiers were not afraid either. When they saw the enemy coming, they all shouted and rushed to meet them.
When Huang Gai heard the cry to kill, he knew that he had caught up with the deserters, but from the cry to kill, it seemed that they were attacking each other in reverse, which didn't seem right.
When your own soldiers caught up with you, they should have panicked and fled. How could they turn around and fight? Moreover, judging from their momentum, they seemed to be well prepared to fight.
No, there must be an ambush!
Huang Gai thought of this and hurriedly said to Chen Wu: "Zi Lie, the enemy soldiers deliberately slowed down to let us catch up, and now they are fighting against us. They must have set up an ambush. You lead the people in front to resist the enemy soldiers. I will
Lead others to clear the way and retreat."
"Okay, I'm here, you go."
Chen Wu was afraid of Zhang Wu's shooting, but not afraid of fighting.
He immediately rode forward and led his troops to resist the enemy in front.
Huang Gai issued an order to turn the rear army into the front army and retreat steadily without any chaos.
Zhou Ping saw it from a distance and sighed: "Huang Gai is indeed cunning and cunning. He knew there was an ambush so quickly."
Zhang Wu asked: "Young Master, can Taishi Ziyi stop them?"
"We can't stop them, and we didn't want to stop them in the first place. These soldiers of Sun Ce have won consecutive victories before, and their morale is very high. Their fighting spirit is very high. Taishi Ziyi's people are also warriors who have never fought before. We want to kill them all."
It's impossible, but it's possible to scare them."
Huang Gai did guess that there was an ambush, but he didn't know it until now, and it seemed too late.
As soon as he turned around and started to retreat with his troops, he saw many soldiers and horses rushing out from the side of the road, blocking their retreat.
The appearance of the ambush was already expected by Huang Gai, so although he was frightened, he did not panic and led his troops to fight forward to find a way out.
Taishi Ci led his troops to fight out from the side of the road. He thought he would rush and kill the enemy soldiers from behind, but he did not expect that he would fight the enemy soldiers from the opposite direction.
"kill!"
He yelled "kill", swung his halberd to kill the enemy soldiers, and stabbed more than a dozen enemy soldiers in the blink of an eye.
However, in order to clear the retreat, Huang Gai led his men and horses in a desperate charge. The ambush behind Taishi Ci was only 2,000 men, while Huang Gai had 3,000 or 4,000 men to attack.
Soon, his men and horses were rushed to both sides to avoid the attack.
Taishi Ci stabbed several more enemy soldiers. When he saw Huang Gai slashing with his sword, he was so brave that he immediately clapped his horse and ran towards him.
Huang Gai had met Tai Shi Ci and knew how powerful he was.
Taishi Ci and Sun Ce had an encounter and had a fight before. Huang Gai was there at the time. When he saw Taishi Ci, he also knew that his military power was about the same as that of Sun Ce, but far superior to his own.
Therefore, he did not dare to fight Taishi Ci. This was not the time to fight. The important thing was to open up a retreat so that the soldiers and horses could retreat.
"Go and block him."
Huang Gai shouted and pointed at Taishi Ci, and the soldiers and horses around him rushed towards Taishi Ci.
Facing the sudden swarm of enemy soldiers, Taishi Ci quickly swung his halberd and stabbed him, killing more than a dozen enemy soldiers in succession before driving them back.
At this moment, Huang Gai had already rushed to the back.
The enemy troops were calm and there were many people. In a short time, they were able to clear a retreat.
Huang Gai shouted: "Get out quickly."
It is easy for the soldiers behind to withdraw, but it is not easy for the soldiers resisting in the front to withdraw.
Xu Chu led more than 3,000 men to kill the enemy in front, and now he was fighting with Chen Wu.
Chen Wu was now twenty years old and seven feet seven inches tall. He was young and strong. He fought with Xu Chu, but was not defeated for a while.
Thirty knights from the Hu Shi Camp fought bravely in front to kill the enemy. Taishi Ci's soldiers also became more morale and fought with all their strength. Only three to four hundred of the enemy soldiers who were resisting in the front were left.
At this time, Chen Wu saw that Huang Gai had already opened up a way out, and the tall man he was fighting was indeed brave. If he continued to fight, he would be defeated.
He shouted: "Get out quickly."
Then he swung his sword at Xu Chu, turned around and fled.
Xu Chu had long seen that Chen Wu wanted to run away. After dodging his flimsy sword, when he turned around to escape, he rushed forward with his horse and raised his sword to chop him in the back.
Chen Wu did not expect that he was not injured after fighting the opponent for twenty or thirty rounds, but when he turned to run away, he was hit in the back by the opponent.
Fortunately, he was wearing armor, and he was trying to escape, so his strength was reduced, and the knife was slashed on his back. The armor was not broken, but the force shook him forward and he only felt a pain in his back.
Chen Wu secretly shouted that he was lucky, and hurriedly clapped his horse and ran forward. The soldiers did not care about it, and did not even call for retreat. It was more important to escape for their lives.
However, when Xu Chu saw that he could not kill him with a single blow, he was unwilling to let him escape and chased after him.
Chen Wu slapped his horse and ran wildly, raising his sword to kill several enemy soldiers blocking his way. However, at this moment, he saw a man in front of him holding a halberd, approaching him.
It turned out that when Taishi Ci saw Huang Gai running away, he was very angry and was trying his best to kill the retreating enemy soldiers.
He accidentally saw Xu Chu chasing an enemy general. He thought that if one of them escaped, he could not let him escape again, so he immediately came to meet Chen Wu with a halberd, blocking Chen Wu's way.
Chen Wu was secretly afraid in his heart. He also recognized Taishi Ci and knew that it would be difficult to win or lose in a fight between him and Sun Ce.
Now with him blocking the front and Xu Chu chasing after him, it seemed that it would be difficult for him to escape.
If you think so, you always have to work hard.
He roared and saw that he was getting closer and closer to Taishi Ci. At this time, several more enemy soldiers rushed out to block his way.
He swung his sword angrily, chopped down three enemy soldiers in succession, and rushed to Taishi Ci's horse.
The two of them clashed with each other with halberds and sabers. Chen Wu felt his arm go numb and the sword almost flew out of his hand.
Taishi Ci was not relaxed either. He knew that the young enemy general opposite him was not weak in force, so he did not dare to be careless and start fighting with him.
Soon, Xu Chu caught up with him and joined forces with Tai Shi Ci to fight against Chen Wu.
Huang Gai broke out of the siege and looked back, only to see Chen Wu being attacked by Tai Shi Ci and another enemy general. He wanted to return to his horse to save him, but he saw that his men were retreating and it was impossible to let them fight back.
.
He looked at it from a distance, sweating for Chen Wu in his heart.
Soon, Chen Wu was seen striking Xu Chu with his sword. The sword flew out of his hand, and Taishi Ci stabbed him into his body from behind. Another stout enemy general then raised his sword and chopped off Chen Wu with one blow.
Wu's head.
"No!" Huang Gai exclaimed as he saw Chen Wu's headless body falling down.
"Quickly retreat!"
Huang Gai was frightened in his heart, but fortunately he was not blocked by them, so he quickly led his troops to retreat.
He couldn't care less about those who couldn't retreat at this time.
