Seven hundred and forty-six Huang Gongfu is here
So a battle of pursuit that is sure to win begins.
On one side is a chasing army full of well-equipped troops, while on the other side is a fleeing brigade that is in a panic all day long.
Although Sun Quan's escape brigade was more than the number of people, as Yu Jin predicted, their speed was not fast.
After leaving Wanling County, they replenished a lot of supplies, but there were still many people, few horses, insufficient food, and dispersed morale, so they acted very slowly.
Sun Quan and others naturally rode horses, but the number of horses was indeed not large. In addition to the necessary military horses left for the cavalry, many supplies had to be pushed forward by soldiers with trolleys.
In this way, the large army was moving forward as slowly as turtles climbing, and the distance advantage accumulated by using their time advantages was quickly worn out.
Sun Quan didn't want to be faster, but he really couldn't be faster. If he had a faster time, he would have no food or drink once he had separated from the baggage team.
Even so, he was restless.
"This is too slow to move forward. What if the Wei army catches up?"
Sun Quan asked Sun Jing beside him.
Sun Jing shook his head: "They can't get up. No matter how fast they are, they are just riding horses. The horse needs to rest, and people have to eat, drink, and sleep. They cannot be too fast. We can definitely arrive in Yuzhang County. At that time, Lu Fan should have brought reinforcements from Jingzhou."
Sun Jing comforted Sun Quan so much that he felt more and less relieved.
But in my heart, Sun Quan was still very scared.
It is only July 28th, and it takes only about a month to officially start the war with the Wei army.
In more than a month, he had become a stray dog. What is the difference in national strength between the two countries?
In the eyes of Wei, is Wu really that vulnerable? Have you never been taken seriously?
In this case, even if you arrive in Yuzhang County, can you join forces with Jingzhou soldiers to defeat the Wei army?
Sun Quan was not sure, and he had no confidence to defeat the Wei army.
Especially after losing Zhou Yu.
After witnessing Sun Ce's death with his own eyes, he now has no Zhou Yu again.
Zhou Yu was gone, and the greatest sense of security in his heart was gone. He was very nervous and couldn't sleep peacefully all night. Even with Sun Jing, Huang Gai, Ling Cao and thousands of troops around him, he still couldn't fall asleep peacefully.
I always feel that the pursuers of Wei's army will appear behind him in the next second.
Although everyone said that the Wei army would definitely not catch up, Sun Quan's fear did not decrease because of this.
He was really scared.
He prayed to heaven countless times, hoping that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's spirit of heaven would bless him to successfully escape and save his life.
But perhaps because it is cloudy now, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's spirit in the sky did not hear his prayers, so what Sun Quan least wanted to see happened.
On July 29, Yu Jin led three thousand Wei cavalry to catch up with Sun Quan's escape troops, shortly after they left Jingxian.
When the feeling of the iron hooves first came, Sun Quan and others thought it was an earthquake, and there had been earthquakes in Jiangdong. Sun Quan was not unfamiliar with it. He felt a vibration on the ground, from far to near, which made him feel restless.
But soon, they discovered that this was not an earthquake, because they also heard the neighing sound of war horses and the sound of people.
Capture Sun Quan alive!!!
Sun Quan didn't hear such a sound clearly from afar to a close at first, but when Sun Quan heard the sound clearly, he was instantly frightened. At this time, the war horse under his crotch moved, and Sun Quan was unstable and fell off the horse.
"Enemy attack!!! Array!!!"
Veteran Huang Gai reacted immediately, shouting at the enemy's attack, and letting the remaining army line up quickly.
However, along the way, the fugitive teams were both army and people, and there were a large number of vehicles, which could not be arranged in a hurry, but the Wei cavalry arrived in an instant.
The black cavalry roared over, and the black-armored cavalry held the black Wei army flag and rushed towards him like a god of death. They were so scared that the Wu soldiers in the large army fled were frightened. Before they could even arrange the array, many people were frightened and ran forward immediately.
I discarded the baggage vehicle and everything I could discard, and I almost threw myself away. I howled and ran forward, and where would I have the intention to line up to meet the enemy?
One person escaped and led a large group of people to escape, but only a few people did not escape.
Most of these soldiers who did not escape were private soldiers. Under the general's order, they tried their best to array to try to protect Sun Quan, but Sun Quan himself was already frightened.
"Here! Come! They are here!!!"
Sun Quan was so scared that he trembled all over. He got up from the ground and ran away with the crawling. Sun Jing was so scared that he rushed up and hugged Sun Quan.
"Zhongmou! Don't panic! Don't panic! Get on the horse! Get on the horse! Get on the horse before you can escape!!"
Sun Quan was stunned by this and nodded immediately.
"Yes! Get on the horse! Get on the horse!"
Sun Quan stumbled and ran towards his horse. Sun Jing helped him get on the war horse. Then Sun Quan didn't wait for anything, and began to run forward with a slap in the butt.
"Zhongmou! Don't be anxious! Hurry up! Go and protect Mr. Wu!!!"
Sun Jing immediately asked the last guard around Sun Quan to protect Sun Quan, and he quickly got on the horse. Looking at Huang Gai who was standing behind him, he gritted his teeth.
"Public refusal, you..."
"Let's go, Mr. Wu needs someone to protect him. I will resist the Wei army here and buy time for Mr. Wu's retreat."
Huang Gai smiled and didn't look nervous.
Sun Jing bit his lips tightly, turned his head and instigated the horse to run away.
Huang Gai didn't plan to escape, of course there was really no place to escape now.
In this situation, if he does not stay to resist the obstacle, it will only make everyone die faster.
If you face cavalry without a military formation, what kind of thing is that a person with a strong head dares to do?
Standing next to Huang Gai is Ling Cao. As one of the few generals of Sun Ce's era who is still alive, Ling Cao is also an old man who has experienced great defeat twice in a row.
"You and I may die here."
Huang Gai looked at the rushing Wei cavalry, the Wu soldiers who kept running away, and the few soldiers who remained, but his expression was unexpectedly calm.
"I shouldn't have lived anymore. I had saved my life before, but I don't understand why they came so quickly?"
Ling Cao was a little surprised: "According to our calculations, it wouldn't be so fast. We have just left Jingxian, so why wouldn't we catch up so quickly? Don't they need to rest? Even if people don't rest, horses should rest, right?"
"Maybe it really doesn't need it? Who knows what method they used."
Huang Gai shook his head and pulled out his sword: "But this doesn't matter anymore. All we have to do is to buy time for Mr. Wu to escape."
"Can Mr. Wu run away? How much time can we gain?"
"Who knows?"
Huang Gai smiled bitterly and held the sword in his hand tightly: "But do your duty as a minister. After serving the three masters, Huang Gongfu is here."
Huang Gai faced the surging Wei cavalry, without any fear.
The Wei cavalry was led by Jin and started shooting arrows at the appropriate position.
Even if you are equipped with three cavalry artifacts, riding and shooting is a unique skill for everyone. Such meaningful tricks cannot be discarded.
After a round of riding and shooting, he threw a hand axe. Such repeated attacks have killed a group of Wu soldiers who can still form a confrontation in front of them, and the military formation has begun to become unstable.
