Before dark, everyone on the battlefield was making final efforts, and the fate of many people also ushered in a new beginning or final ending at this time.
General Wang Mo was a subordinate of Han Fu of Jizhou in his early years, and later joined Yuan Shao. When Yuan and Cao fought, Wang Mo was good at building bases and defending, because he was good at building a base and defending, he was ordered to build more than 30 military forts from the southwest of Yanjin to Ji and Hujia County, and defended with thousands of troops. As a result, he was attacked by Le Jin and Yu Jin and forced to subdue.
For nearly twenty years thereafter, Wang Mo followed Le Jin and was in Xiangyang for a long time. Until Cao Xiu led his troops into Lumen Mountain, he was ordered to assist Cao Xiu in building a building on Lumen Mountain, and was transferred to the front line of Zhengcheng and Dengcheng to build a camp and transferred to the ban.
Generals like Wang Mo are actually no longer like military men, but more like civil servants who have the expertise of governing the army. They have long no longer cared about things like reputation or rewards. They have accumulated rich and profound experience in their decades of military career, and this experience is just to make him survive.
Seeing Gao Zuo and his old partner He Mao died in battle, he immediately decided that the situation was not possible. So he only brought a few people to escape from the battlefield.
Due to the heavy armor, he and his subordinates threw away the iron armor and only wore light military uniforms. In this way, the burden on the war horses was reduced and they could run faster. However, from the north of Fancheng to Zhengcheng and Dengcheng, the water level had not yet completely receded, and the terrain became very different from his past memories. He and his subordinates walked around and ran into the Jingzhou army several times. At this time, there were only two followers left by him.
Wang Mo stopped in the shade of a forest land to stop the horse. In an encounter before, he was hit by two and one arrow. His injuries were not serious and he had bandaged and stopped bleeding, but he was very thirsty at this moment. So he asked the follower to look at the war horse, and he only held a short knife and carried a water bag to draw water at a low place.
A stream flowed through the deep grass below the forest. After the flood, such a clear water source is very precious. Wang Mo quickly walked over and bent down to get water. However, when he soaked the water bag into the stream, he found that two Jingzhou soldiers were holding the water bags and drawing water on the other side of the stream. The two were alarmed by Wang Mo's movements and were looking up at him.
Both sides were stunned for a moment. The soldiers of Jingzhou hurriedly took the bow and arrow, but Wang Mo didn't bother to shout, immediately drew his sword and stepped forward with the splash of water.
The stream was not wide, and Wang Mo estimated that he could cross three or five steps, and then he could fight close together and kill two enemy soldiers. However, after running two steps, the mud under his feet slipped, causing the wound on his thigh to suck violently, causing him to almost fall into the water.
Wang Mo shook his hands repeatedly to maintain balance. When he stood firm, the two Jingzhou soldiers had already set their bows and arrows aimed at him.
The two riders who were watching over the horses on the edge of the woodland heard a scream below and rushed to rescue him. However, the two rushed to the edge of the stream and saw that the people in Jingzhou were cutting Wang Mo's head with a short knife.
Two followers rushed through the stream roaring and fought with the soldiers of Jingzhou to the same place. The two soldiers of Jingzhou had seen Wang Mo being extraordinary and should be an officer, so they specifically cut off his head. Since there was an enemy attack, they threw their heads away.
Wang Mo's head rolled into the stream. The blood stains on his neck dyed the clear stream red and kept flowing downstream.
As Wang Mo and other backbone generals died and disappeared one after another, Yu Jin found that he had lost control of the army. Of course, because he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately stepped north and ran for more than ten miles in one breath, so he could no longer control the collapsed subordinates in the south.
The road they walked was getting muddy. Going further north, it was divided into two groups, east and west, and the roadside was covered with deserted slopes and endless large patches of weeds.
Yu Jin sent people to explore which of the two roads is easy to walk on. He turned around and stood at a high place, looking south. He heard crying, begging for mercy and roars of no reason. He saw Cao's army running around in all directions, trampling and flags. The crowd even directly crashed into the solid camps carefully set up by many of the camps, and then there was a rumbling sound from the camp.
The dusk was vast and I couldn't see clearly, but I could tell by just hearing the sound that it was the catapults, nest cars, ladders and other things being built in the camp were pushed down one after another.
"What a pity... those equipment can be completed in three or five days. It is absolutely true that attacking Deng Sei is a perfect match... It's a pity that Cao Gong's team was defeated for some reason! It's a pity that Cao Zidan is so rough and reckless that he ruined my overall situation!" Yu Jin sighed with a sigh.
Guard Hao Zhou asked: "Wenze, what should we do?"
Yu Jin looked at Hao Zhou and then at the soldiers surrounded by him. When he first left the camp, he led his team of 500 cavalry. He struggled to open the way among the chaotic troops along the way and fought with his own defeated soldiers several times. At this time, only more than twenty horses and more than two hundred people were left.
Looking at the eyes of Hao Zhou and the soldiers, it seemed that Yu Jin could make a powerful way to turn the tide. Yu Jin only felt it was ridiculous.
For many years, Yu Jin has always maintained a strict and firm image. Everyone believes that Yu Jin is a general who is not afraid of danger in adversity, but Yu Jin himself knows that it is not true.
When the soldiers were panicked, he was also panicked. When the soldiers were out of their minds, he actually had no idea.
At this moment, Yu Jin wanted to kill Hao Zhou with one sword.
I have sent someone to explore the road to the north, but you actually asked me what to do? Isn’t this a very clear thing?
You ask me what I do?
Do you think that the situation is like this, what else can I do? Can I rely on these more than a hundred cavalry to break into the battle formation and find Guan Yu to kill him? How fierce Guan Yu is, you have never seen him with your own eyes, and you don’t know how powerful he is! Don’t think about anything at this moment, it’s just right to escape and save your life!
He thought a lot, but couldn't say it. The two words "escape" can be said by his subordinates, and Hao Zhou can be said, but he can't say it. It's because once the ban is said, he can no longer maintain his image of resoluteness and majesty, which is absolutely not possible!
Yu Jin's heart was so chaotic that he could only remain silent.
The subordinates regarded his silence as a countermeasure, so they held their breath and waited for it.
At this moment, a large number of defeated soldiers came. They had one or two hundred people in a team, and more than ten people in a team, fleeing wildly like a group of beasts chased by hunters. Wherever they passed, they stepped on the road into a continuous mud pond, and then trampled the weeds, splashing the turbid sewage under the meadow everywhere.
Behind them, cavalry from Jingzhou slowly followed.
The cavalry clutched along the road, sometimes merged into brigades, sometimes scattered into long lines, like ducks, and followed the Cao army soldiers slowly. The Cao army soldiers had no will to resist at this time, and they ran around like headless flies. Occasionally, a few of them stopped resisting and were immediately chopped off by the Jingzhou cavalry.
Instead, he shouted that he wanted to surrender and was ordered to kneel down on the ground, which was probably safe.
It was obvious that the Jingzhou cavalry was deliberately driving the defeated soldiers and squeezing their physical strength. The defeated soldiers came very quickly and were about to approach the slope where Jin and others hid. Once they were surrounded by the defeated soldiers, it would be a dead end.
Hao Zhou looked pale and asked again: "General... General, what should I do?"
Yu Jin suddenly rushed out, faced the defeated soldiers, and shouted loudly: "There is an enemy ambushing the east, go to the west!"
His armor had long been thrown away, and his military uniform was not as good as it was. No one recognized him for a moment, and he was the Zuo General Yu Jin. But after decades of being in a high position, he naturally had a convincing demeanor.
The defeated soldiers heard him speak clearly and his tone was firm. At this time, everyone was in control, so they had the ability to tell the truth or false? At the beginning, one or two went to the west road, and then a dozen or twenty people in the next. In the blink of an eye, thousands of defeated soldiers pushed and trampled on each other, all running towards the weedy road to the west.
After a moment, the cavalry of the Jingzhou Army also rumbled past and followed the defeated troops.
Yu Jin himself bent his waist and penetrated into the deep grass, and then he turned around in a short while. His iron-like face showed a hint of relaxed expression, and he said to his subordinates: "I deceived the pursuers and walked to the west road, so we will go to the east."
Several people led by Hao Zhou all obeyed and said, "The general is so brave and a genius! We respect him!"
