While Jia Xu was waiting for Cao's army to arrive, Xiang Ji and Sun Ce, who were far away in Yangzhou, also started a formal confrontation.
Seeing Xiang Ji standing in front of the cavalry formation, Sun Ce was filled with resentment.
Damn it, you actually bypassed Qu'a silently. Why the hell did my army stay in Qu'a for so long? If word got out, wouldn't I become a laughing stock?
Obviously, Sun Ce didn't know at this time that Da Qiao, whom he had been longing for day and night, had been shaken by Xiang Ji, otherwise it would have been more than just resentment.
"Bo Fu, Jianye is now being besieged by Xiang Ji's army, and our army is equivalent to being blockaded in Qu'a by land.
The current strength of the army is insufficient, and only 5,000 cavalry cannot stop our army. We should retreat to Wu County first and make plans."
Zhou Yu, who was riding his horse beside Sun Ce, explained the current situation in a low voice to the angry Sun Ce.
It's not impossible to fight, but once you are delayed, it will be dangerous.
You must know that Sun Ce mobilized all his troops to deal with Xiang Ji. Jianye only had a few thousand defenders. How could they withstand the violent attack of Chu's main army?
If Xiang Ji's cavalry delays this for a few days and waits for the Chu army from Jianye over there to arrive, it may be difficult to withdraw.
"No! Whatever I say today, I have to master this qualification for a while."
Sun Ce, who had always obeyed Zhou Yu's advice, became stubborn this time.
What descendants of the Overlord of Western Chu? What Xiang Ji, the Overlord of Chu? They are all just false names.
Today's era belongs to me, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong!
Zhou Yu, who knew Sun Ce's temper, was helpless. Since you want to fight, just fight. If Wai Yi wins, there is no need to consider retreat, but he can consider directly annihilating Xiang Ji here.
But just when Sun Ce was about to go out to fight, a young general in his formation rushed out without even asking him to fight.
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be Ling Tong, the son of the general Ling Cao who had been killed in the battle.
Sun Ce was very optimistic about this young player.
Moreover, Sun Ce also understood why he was so eager to fight. After all, his father was shot through the chest with thousands of arrows. As a son, how could he see the enemy face to face and not react at all.
Seeing Ling Tong go to battle, Sun Ce was no longer anxious.
At the very least, let this kid try out the skills of that title first.
"I am Wu Guolingtong, who dares to come and fight!"
Although he was eager for revenge, Ling Tong was not stupid.
Thousands of Chu State cavalry are arrayed here. If I rush in rashly, I will only be able to deliver food to others.
Aren't you Xiang Ji known as the number one general? Now that I've invited you to fight, I don't believe you won't come.
Yes, this is what Ling Tong did.
As long as you, Xiang Ji, dare to fight, then I, Ling Tong, will definitely avenge my father even if I risk my life.
But what disappointed him was that Xiang Ji was obviously not interested in this Ling Tong.
"Zilong, I'll leave this boy to you."
After giving instructions to Zhao Yun beside him, Xiang Ji began to look at Wu Jun opposite him.
The kid holding a spear should be Sun Ce, right? Then who is the one holding a long sword next to him? Zhou Yu? It should be him.
These two boys are really young.
Xiang Ji never cared about Sun Ce.
He is just a young boy, but Xiang Ji still cares about Zhou Yu.
After all, the title of Koto Mishuro and the Governor of Soochow did not come for nothing.
Unfortunately, Xiang Ji himself knew that Zhou Yu would never submit to him this time.
Not to mention the hostile relationship between the two.
Even this week, if Zhou Yu knew that he had slept with Xiao Qiao, he would probably fight her to the death, right?
Since it is impossible to recruit surrender, then destroy it as soon as possible.
Xiang Ji did not have the habit of letting tigers cause trouble.
That Zhuge Liang before? That's because he is just a child who has not grown up yet and cannot pose any threat to himself.
Moreover, when Xiang Ji knew that the Zhuge family had moved away, they had already fled far away, and he could not catch up even if he wanted to.
But for the Zhou Yu in front of him, Xiang Ji was not going to give him a second chance.
In the next battle, the lonely king will let you die here.
When Xiang Ji paid attention to Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun and Ling Tong had already become friends.
One is a world-famous general, and the other is a rookie from Jiangdong.
Zhao Yun originally thought that it wouldn't take much effort to deal with such a fledgling general.
But I never thought that Ling Tong was indeed a future star that attracted the attention of the entire Soochow upper class.
Although he was young, he didn't fall behind at all against Zhao Yun for the first time.
Ling Tong even vaguely occupied the offensive position, leaving Zhao Yunzhi with room to defend.
This is what Zhao Yun didn't understand. Because of his father's tragic death, Ling Tong's heart was full of hatred for the Chu army, and this hatred also turned into motivation, making Ling Tong's current strength far beyond normal.
"Dang!"
Another strong attack was blocked by Zhao Yun, and Ling Tong's eyes became even bloodier.
Kill! I must kill this Zhao Yun. Only in this way can I make Xiang Ji feel distressed and force Xiang Yu to fight!
With a heart for revenge, Ling Tong forgot about fatigue and pain, and just kept waving the sword in his hand desperately at Zhao Yun.
From the perspective of the Wu general who was watching the battle from behind, Ling Tong had the upper hand and was completely suppressing Zhao Yun.
Even if they win, it's just a matter of time.
Shouts and cheers continued to burst out from the Wu army formation, and their momentum almost reached the sky.
On the other hand, Cang Longqi's side was completely silent.
However, this is not because Zhao Yun fell into a disadvantage and caused the Canglong Knight to become depressed.
This is because Cang Longqi knows that their general, Zhao Yun, has not yet used his full strength!
"Take my shot!"
After more than ten rounds of fighting, Zhao Yun had figured out Ling Tong's attack routine.
This young man has good martial arts skills, but he only relies on the bloody courage inspired by the anger in his heart, which cannot last long.
When Ling Tong's moves were getting old, Zhao Yun's eyes changed.
The gentian gun in his hand shot out and stabbed Ling Tong in front of him, who was unable to take the move.
"ah!"
Although he relied on his sharp reflexes to avoid Zhao Yun's fatal blow, the heat on his cheek still told Ling Tong that he was injured.
After the blow, Zhao Yun no longer held back his hand, and the gentian gun emitted a bit of cold light in his hand.
In just a few rounds, Ling Tong, who had been unstoppable before, was already bruised and bruised.
Fast! Too fast! It’s impossible to resist!
This is how Ling Tong felt about Zhao Yun's marksmanship.
"Zhao Yun, go to hell!"
Since you can't fight with the moves, I'll trade my life for yours.
Ling Tong, filled with hatred in his heart, gave up his defense and slashed at Zhao Yun's head with the sword in his hand.
