Gan Ning's motivational words of "If you are determined to stay in battle, there will be death but no life" are still effective. These soldiers followed him and kept fighting forward.
"There are enemy soldiers chasing us from behind."
Zhou Yu had just squeezed from behind to the front and led his soldiers to charge forward, trying to find a way out. At this time, a soldier came to report that there were enemy soldiers chasing him from behind.
"How is that possible! Zhang Fei is still five or six miles away from us. How could we catch him so quickly?"
"It's not Zhang Fei's troops, it's the general named Cao who leads the troops."
Zhou Yu knew it was Cao Cheng, but he didn't know where this Cao Cheng came from and how he caught up with him so quickly.
But now he can no longer control so much. No matter how many enemy soldiers are behind him, he must rush forward to kill them.
"Most of the enemy soldiers are behind, and there are not many enemy soldiers in front. Let's rush over. General Sun will send troops in front to meet us."
In order to give the soldiers confidence, Zhou Yu could only say this.
Sun Ce indeed sent Zhou Tai back to assist him, but was blocked by Tai Shici.
Both Taishi Ci and Gan Ning believed that Sun Ce would stay in the rear army, so Taishi Ci only stayed on the defensive against the soldiers and horses in front of him who came to rescue him. He mainly cooperated with Gan Ning to attack the rear army and wanted to kill Sun Ce.
While Gan Ning was killing the enemy soldiers with his sword, he was looking for Sun Ce, but he could not find him. He only saw a man who looked like a general in charge of the army.
If Sun Ce cannot be found, he will kill the generals who command the army. Gan Ning will kill that person.
This general who commanded the army was none other than Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu discovered Gan Ning because the two feathers on Gan Ning's back were so eye-catching.
"Quick, surround us and kill the enemy general."
Zhou Yu pointed at Gan Ning and asked the soldiers beside him to attack Gan Ning.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!" Gan Ning roared and slashed with his sword.
There were more than a hundred enemy soldiers surrounding them, but Gan Ning's soldiers followed suit and gradually surrounded Zhou Yu and others.
"Where is Sun Ce?"
Gan Ning yelled and asked questions every time he cut down an enemy soldier. Now he only wanted to capture and kill Sun Ce.
But no one answered his question, and soon the enemy soldiers surrounding him were gradually killed by them.
Many of the enemy soldiers outside the perimeter began to throw away their weapons and beg to surrender, and some took the opportunity to flee to both sides. Cao Cheng led his troops from behind to kill them, and they were about to join Gan Ning.
"Where is Sun Ce?"
Gan Ning shouted and asked again.
Zhou Yu watched as his men fell one by one, and at this moment, there were enemy soldiers on all sides, especially the enemy general. He seemed to be red-eyed, and while he was killing, he was asking about Sun Ce's whereabouts.
At this time, Zhou Yu held a long sword in his hand and chopped down two approaching enemy soldiers. Looking at Gan Ning who was already in front of him, he began to feel afraid.
He knew that it would be difficult for him to escape this time, and he also knew that he could not wait until Cao Cao came to save him.
But what I'm most worried about now is Sun Ce. I don't know how Sun Ce is doing.
It seemed that Zhou Tai could not lead his troops to rescue him. Perhaps the front army was also ambushed by enemy soldiers, and Sun Ce might have difficulty escaping just like himself.
Liu Bei won consecutive battles and his troops were strong and brave. Zhou Ping often had clever plans and was good at setting up ambushes. Why didn't I expect that he would set up an ambush here?
If we could have expected that there would be an ambush halfway along the way, how could we have encountered such an encounter?
Sun Ce and himself died here today, Yangzhou will be gained by Liu Bei, and the world will also be Liu Bei's!
Zhou Yu was thinking in his mind when he saw that all the soldiers around him had been killed. Only the enemy general with feathers on his back was raising his sword to face him and shouted: "Where is Sun Ce?"
"Hahaha... I had expected that you would ambush here. General Sun has already escaped. In addition, you can go back and tell Liu Bei that General Sun sent people to ask Cao Yanzhou for help. Cao Yanzhou has agreed and will meet with General Yuan soon.
If we send troops to attack Xuzhou together, Liu Bei will be defeated! Hahaha..."
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he laughed again.
Seeing Zhou Yu laughing, Gan Ning became very angry and yelled: "I made you laugh."
As he spoke, he raised his sword and struck Zhou Yu.
Gan Ning did not know Zhou Yu. If he knew that the other party was Zhou Yu and knew Zhou Yu's family background, he would definitely capture him alive.
But now, as Gan Ning slashed with his sword, Zhou Yu's laughter suddenly stopped and he fell to the ground.
Gan Ning's soldiers simultaneously raised their spears and stabbed him. Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin died silently.
Zhou Tai led his troops and fought with Tai Shici for a long time, but could not rush through. Later, he learned that the rear army had been destroyed, but the enemy troops seemed to be getting more and more numerous, so he had to lead his troops to retreat.
Zhou Tai was more worried about Sun Ce's safety than rescuing the rear army.
Sun Ce, protected by a thousand men and horses, endured the pain of his wounds, and the carriage galloped towards the north.
I don't know how long they ran, but a soldier came back to report that Zhou Tai had failed to rescue the rear army, and he had already led his troops back.
"Where is Zhou Gongjin? How is he?" Sun Ce asked anxiously.
"I don't know what Zhou Gongjin's condition is," the soldier replied.
The troops and horses are in chaos, and it is indeed difficult to know Zhou Yu's situation.
Sun Ce now only hopes that Zhou Yu can escape, but there is nothing he can do now. He can only retreat to Danyang City first and then inquire about the situation.
Maybe, when he arrives at Danyang City, Zhou Yu will follow him.
Soon, Zhou Tai rushed back with more than a thousand soldiers. The two thousand people he brought with him suffered nearly a thousand casualties.
"General, there are so many enemy troops that we can't rush through. The rear army seems to have been completely wiped out!"
"Where is Zhou Gongjin? Is there any news about him?" Sun Ce asked anxiously, just wanting to know about Zhou Yu's situation.
Zhou Tai shook his head: "There is currently no news about Zhou Gongjin."
"Are the enemy soldiers coming after you?" Sun Ce asked again.
"No." Zhou Tai replied.
Sun Ce had no choice but to continue running towards Danyang City.
The wound on his abdomen seemed to have opened wider, so the doctor had to stop the carriage, rebandage him to stop the bleeding, and then let the carriage move slowly.
When Zhang Fei arrived with his troops, Gan Ning, Taishi Ci, Cao Cheng and others had finished the battle and were clearing the battlefield.
"Why did you fight so fast? You didn't wait until I got there before you started, and I made my trip in vain."
"General Zhang, it's not that we fought fast, it's that the enemy soldiers were defeated in one blow without fighting." Cao Cheng replied with a smile.
"With me here, how can they fight for long?" Gan Ning said proudly.
Taishi Ci just smiled and said nothing.
After clearing the battlefield, more than 2,000 enemy soldiers were killed in this battle, more than 1,000 were captured, and more than 800 of his own troops suffered casualties.
Gan Ning personally beheaded an enemy general, but he didn't know who it was at first. When he was clearing the battlefield, he asked the enemy soldiers to identify him, and then he realized that the person he had killed was Zhou Yu.
I also heard that Zhou Yu was the person Sun Ce trusted the most and the person Sun Ce relied on the most.
He was overjoyed and ordered people to cut off Zhou Yu's head and send it back to Wuhu to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei and Zhou Ping were overjoyed when they heard that the ambush troops had won a great victory.
Unfortunately, Sun Ce could not be found.
However, Gan Ning sent someone to return the enemy general's head, which was said to be Zhou Yu's.
When Zhou Ping heard this, he hurriedly asked someone to open the box. After a closer look, it turned out to be Zhou Yu's head.
