Jia Fu relied on his own strength to fight back the surrounding county soldiers. Then he looked back and saw Liu Xiu and Zhu You working together to break out. However, there were too many county soldiers blocking the front, and they could hardly move. .
He took a deep breath, held the square halberd with the painting pole, and rushed over with a meteoric stride. As he walked past, the halberd streaked through the air, bringing out a long side of blood mist. The county soldiers in the row on his right were The sharp edge of the halberd fell to the ground, and there were screams.
Jia Fu passed by Liu Xiu's horse, and the painted square halberd moved forward with thorns. As cold lights flashed back and forth in the air, more than a dozen county soldiers fell into a pool of blood. The nearby county soldiers saw Jia Fu's fierceness. Abnormal, he was so frightened that he backed away again and again.
At this time, Cen Peng caught up again with a three-pointed two-edged sword. Jia Fu shouted to Zhu You: "Zhong Xian, you open the way in front, I will cut off the rear!" As he spoke, he dragged his halberd and started again. He met Cen Peng who was charging towards him.
Bang!
After the two met, without a word of nonsense, the halberd and the long knife immediately collided with each other, and then the two of them fought again.
Against Jia Fu, Cen Peng really felt powerless. Less than ten rounds between the two, he was forced back by Jia Fu.
Just when Cen Peng could no longer hold on, a large group of crossbowmen suddenly rushed out from the county army. The people held crossbows, aimed at Jia Fu, and launched a volley.
The distance was too close, and Jia Fu had no chance to dodge. He could only use the drawing pole and square halberd to dial the incoming crossbow machine, clanking, clanking, and the crossbow arrows were shot out one after another.
However, with a muffled sound, Jia Fu was hit by an arrow in his shoulder. Jia Fu didn't seem to feel anything. He didn't even look at it. He raised his hand, broke off the crossbow arrow stuck in his shoulder, and threw it away. On the ground, and then, without giving the opponent a chance to reload the crossbow, he stepped forward and swung the square halberd horizontally.
Puff puff!
The heads of three county soldiers armed with crossbows flew into the air. Cen Peng roared angrily and slashed his back with a knife.
Jia Fu's back was turned to Cen Peng, but the back of his head seemed to have eyes. He swung his halberd back with a careless hand. The three-pointed two-edged sword bounced away, and then the sharp edge of the halberd suddenly stabbed him under the armpit. He went out and went straight to Cen Peng's face.
Snapped!
Cen Peng dodged, but did not dodge completely. The helmet on his head was stabbed by the halberd and flew far away. Cen Peng's head was also hit hard, and he staggered back several steps.
He stabbed the knife in his hand hard on the ground, holding the knife with both hands, and finally stabilized his body. Scarlet blood flowed down the top of his head, and his bun fell loose, fluttering in the air.
Jia Fu did not pursue Cen Peng immediately. Instead, he swung his square halberd with a painting pole and slashed the crossbowmen around him. In just a moment, more than 20 crossbowmen around him were killed. land.
At this time, Jia Fu looked at Cen Peng again, who was already being protected by the surrounding county troops. Jia Fu held a halberd in one hand, pointed at Cen Peng in the crowd, roared, turned around, and chased towards Cen Peng. Liu Xiu and Zhu You broke out from outside.
In his life, Jia Fu was best at fighting breakout battles.
Why he is good at breaking out of sieges is because he is often trapped in tight sieges. Why he is often trapped in tight sieges is because he fights too fiercely and always rushes to the front, regardless of whether his own soldiers can keep up with him or how many there are. The soldiers could keep up with him. So looking at Jia Fu's achievements throughout his life, he was often fighting and fighting. After he came to his senses, he looked around him. He didn't have many people, but there were huge crowds of people. enemy.
But even so, Jia Fu was able to fight back from the enemy's encirclement many times and join up with his own large forces.
If you ask who among Liu Xiu's men is the most accomplished in both civil and military affairs, it is Jia Fu. If you ask who is the most brave enough to win the three armies, it is Jia Fu. He has never lost a battle in his life. It is truly true. The only victorious general is Jia Junwen.
Jia Fu alone, in front of the two armies, could sometimes use his own force to inspire morale and frighten the enemy, which was sometimes better than thousands of troops.
The situation at this time was almost like this. With Jia Fu's assistance, Liu Xiu and Zhu You not only experienced a sharp reduction in pressure, but also became more and more excited about the war. On the other hand, the morale of the county army dropped rapidly.
At first, there were still people trying to block Liu Xiu, Jia Fu and Zhu You from breaking through.
But when they saw their comrades being mercilessly killed and harvested like grass under Jia Fu's painting pole, the people felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet, and the hairs all over their bodies stood up, and they did not dare to move forward easily. , instead, he stepped backwards to avoid its sharp edge.
In the subsequent breakout battle, Liu Xiu and the others hardly expended much effort. As the county troops dodged to both sides, they rushed out in one breath.
The officers and soldiers of the county army wanted to pursue him, so Cen Peng stopped everyone under his command. Firstly, he was greatly shocked by Jia Fu's bravery. Secondly, he was worried that Wancheng would be lost if he chased too far.
Looking at the fleeing figures of Liu Xiu and the others, Cen Peng sighed softly, feeling filled with emotions in his heart.
When it comes to countering rebellion, the more our soldiers fight against the rebellion, the fewer people we have. On the other hand, when it comes to the rebel army, heroes from all over the world are vying to defect to each other, and talents are emerging in large numbers. How long can I sustain myself in Nanyang by myself?!
At this time, Cen Peng really felt powerless, feeling that he was alone and unable to support himself.
Zhang Xun commanded 10,000 Han troops and attacked Wancheng. As a result, they were severely defeated by the county army led by Cen Peng.
Nanyang Wancheng has almost become the curse of the Han army. Every time it is defeated, it will be defeated every time.
When the Zhutian Army came to attack Wancheng, they were defeated in Xiaochang'an. Later, the Zhutian Army joined forces with the Green Forest Army to attack Wancheng for the second time. They were defeated by hundreds of thousands of Mang troops outside Wancheng.
This time Zhang Xuan attacked Wancheng for the third time, and was defeated again. Ten thousand soldiers suffered most of the casualties. Under the walls of Wancheng and inside the moat, almost all of them were covered with the corpses of the Han army.
In addition, Liu Xiu, Zhu You, and Jia Fu were also injured during this battle. Fortunately, Cen Peng was concerned about the safety of Wancheng and did not dare to pursue them too far, so the three of them were able to escape smoothly.
On the way, Jia Fu quickly walked to Liu Xiu's horse and asked, "My lord, how is your injury?"
Liu Xiu suffered some internal injuries, while the others were superficial injuries, with no injuries to muscles or bones.
His face turned pale and he said, "Fortunately, it's not serious." As he spoke, he noticed the arrow wound on Jia Fu's shoulder. It was obvious that the shoulder was still stuck in the flesh.
He got off the horse and said to Zhu You: "Ayou, is there still water?"
Zhu You hurriedly took off his water bag, shook it, and said, "Lord, there is not enough water. I will go look for a stream nearby." As he spoke, he ran quickly into the woods on the roadside.
Liu Xiu and Jia Fu also walked to the woods by the roadside and sat down. Liu Xiu asked, "Jun Wen, why are you here?"
Jia Fu said: "Zhang Xun is a headstrong man who loves great achievements. I was worried that my lord would be in danger, so I came here to find him!"
After a pause, he added: "Ci Yuan and Xu Ying have already escorted Miss Yin on the road, my lord, there is no need to worry."
Liu Xiu nodded, his eyes fell on Jia Fu's shoulder, and said, "Let me see your arrow wound?"
Jia Fu said nonchalantly: "My lord, it's just a minor injury. It doesn't matter."
When he broke off the crossbow arrows, he didn't even frown. With such a strong temper, if someone who didn't know about it looked at it, they would never have imagined that he was a scholar and a top student with both good character and learning. .
While examining his wounds, Liu Xiu sighed: "If Jun Wen hadn't fought desperately to save him this time, Ayou and I would have died by Cen Peng's sword!"
Jia Fu's face straightened and he said: "Even without the help of my subordinates, I can escape smoothly with my lord's force. I dare not take credit for this battle."
Liu Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "I know Junwen's life-saving grace!"
"Lord——"
Jia Fu wanted to speak, but Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Wancheng is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with Cen Peng guarding it, this battle will be difficult to fight!"
Zhang Xuan's defeat was certainly related to his underestimation of the enemy, but it also proved from the side that Wancheng was indeed difficult to defeat, especially since there was a general like Cen Peng in Wancheng. It would be too difficult for our own side to forcefully attack Wancheng.
Jia Fu said quietly: "If Wancheng cannot be broken quickly, my subordinates are worried that the imperial court will send troops to Nanyang for reinforcements!"
If Nanyang is completely lost, the imperial court may give up on Nanyang, but the problem now is that there is a Wancheng Pestle here in Nanyang. It is like a nail piercing the vital points of the Han army, which will also cause the imperial court to fail. We will completely abandon Nanyang, and we will definitely send troops to help.
Liu Xiu also considered the issue Jia Fu mentioned. He nodded and said: "The most urgent task is to capture Wancheng as soon as possible to avoid long nights and many unnecessary troubles!"
While they were talking, Zhu You came over carrying a water bag.
Relatively speaking, Jia Fu's wound was more serious. Liu Xiu and Zhu You first helped Jia Fu clean the wound, and then used daggers to dig out the arrowhead stuck in the flesh.
This was already a small operation, but Jia Fu didn't say a word from beginning to end, but beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks and neck.
After pulling out the arrowhead, pouring the golden sore medicine on it, and bandaging it, Liu Xiu, Zhu You, and Jia Fu all breathed out in unison.
Next, Jia Fu helped Liu Xiu and Zhu You deal with their wounds. Nearly half an hour passed after they were busy.
The three of them rested for a while and then started on the road again. Liu Xiu was still on horseback, while Jia Fu and Zhu You were on foot.
After the three of them arrived at Xiaochang'an Ju, they found that Zhang Xun's troops were also here. Inside and outside Xiao Chang'an Ju, there were remnants of the Han army and defeated generals everywhere. People were all disgraced, and many of them were covered in blood.
Hearing that Liu Xiu had arrived at Xiaochang'an, Zhang Xuan immediately welcomed him out of the Chinese military tent. When he saw Liu Xiu, Jia Fu, and Zhu You, he couldn't believe his eyes.
You must know that when he ran away, he witnessed Liu Xiu and Zhu You being surrounded by thousands of county troops.
When Zhang Xuan thought about it, Liu Xiu and Zhu You must be in trouble this time. He was still worried about how he should explain to Liu Yan after returning to Jiyang.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu and Zhu You could still stand in front of him in good condition.
After being surprised, Zhang Xuan was filled with joy, walked forward quickly, and excitedly raised his hands and said: "Uncle Wen, Mr. Zhong, seeing that you two are safe and sound, my heart is so full that I can be completely relieved. Coming down!"
Zhu You would have been better off without seeing Zhang Yu. But seeing Zhang Yu at this moment, Zhu You's lungs almost exploded with anger. If he hadn't been greedy for life and feared death and could run faster than a rabbit, how could the lord and himself be in danger? Trapped among enemy troops and nearly killed?
