Seeing the Feilong Army approaching, Cheng Pu swung his sword to ward it off, but within a moment more spears were stabbing him. Cheng Pu sighed and led his guards to resist. However, he had already made plans to retreat.
, the number of the Feilong Army is several times greater than that of the Guards, and they cannot resist it at all. What's more, there are also shouts of killing from other places. The 20,000 Feilong Army are enough to defeat them. If they don't withdraw,
Sooner or later, they will be completely wiped out, but now that the Feilong army is in full swing, retreating hastily will only accelerate the rout. Cheng Pu has to leave the troops to temporarily resist the Feilong army. Thinking that Cheng Pu will lead the personal guards to collide with the Feilong army head-on.
Together.
The two groups of soldiers and horses started fighting as soon as they collided. Although the equipment and strength of the Guards Army were much better than that of the Feilong Army, the formation of the Feilong Army was so large that it overwhelmed the Guards at once, and the formation of the Feilong Army was a bit loose.
Because of this, there was a slight pause. Cheng Pu did not hesitate and immediately led the guards towards the camp where Ling Cao was. He no longer dared to have hope for the war horses. It only took a moment for a thousand flying dragons to massacre four thousand horses.
, even if you arrive, it won’t help.
Not far away, Ling Cao, the Jiangdong camp, was leading the remaining Jiangdong soldiers to barely hold on. More than half of the 10,000-strong army had been killed or injured. Even so, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses could be defeated at any time. Under the two-sided attack of the Feilong Army, Jiangdong's army was already stretched thin.
, and even Ling Cao had several long gashes on his body. Blood seeped into his snow-white clothes, and the exposed skin was torn apart.
Ling Cao knocked the Feilong sergeant in front of him away, and finally turned his head to look at the army behind him. He saw thousands of soldiers and horses behind him in a chaotic state. Some of them were even without armor like Ling Cao. They were all disheveled and looked tired.
It looks like it could collapse at any time.
Ling Cao then looked at the Jingzhou army in front. At this time, the Feilong Army was still full of energy and not tired at all, and its offensive and defensive battle formations were not chaotic at all. Every charge was accompanied by the death and injury of scores of Jiangdong soldiers.
Seeing that things were becoming more and more unfavorable for the Jiangdong soldiers and horses, Ling Cao was extremely anxious. At this moment, Cheng Pu arrived with his guards. The guards temporarily resisted the Feilong Army's attack, allowing the Jiangdong army behind Ling Cao to take a break.
rest.
Cheng Pu looked at the injured Ling Cao and said, "General Ling, please withdraw."
After hearing Cheng Pu's words, Ling Cao wanted to say something else, but Cheng Pu continued: "I'm afraid all the Feilong Army from Jingzhou are coming this time. If they continue to fight, it will be very detrimental to our army."
"It turns out to be the Feilong Army." A trace of relief flashed across Ling Cao's eyes. He had already felt that something was wrong in the battle just now. His thousands of soldiers and horses had been suppressed and beaten, and he had no power to fight back. He nodded and Ling Cao said unwillingly.
: "Then withdraw."
Seeing the flying dragon sergeant Cheng Pu who had already caught up, he did not dare to neglect and immediately left with Ling Cao. The Jiangdong army behind him also breathed a sigh of relief and followed the two of them towards Chai Sang.
Three groups of Feilong troops in the Jiangdong camp joined forces and chased Jiangdong's army. Behind them, Wenpin followed closely with two thousand Feilong troops. From the beginning, these two thousand troops did not participate in the battle.
Liu Qi and others in Yangxin County watched the battle. In just two quarters of an hour, 10,000 Jiangdong soldiers and horses and 2,000 personal guards were defeated under the impact of the Feilong Army. As for the final escape of Jiangdong's army, Liu Qi and others naturally saw it.
It was the Feilong Army's deliberate release. After all, the 20,000 Feilong Army could completely encircle Jiangdong's army without letting anyone go. However, in that case, the Jiangdong army's desperate counterattack would outweigh the gain. Liu Qi and others could see Wenpin's considerations.
Liu Qi looked at the Feilong soldiers going away and sighed: "These are the real elites."
Gan Ning and Wei Yan beside them also nodded with admiration, while Wang Yi remained silent and smiled.
At this moment, two thousand Feilong troops had arrived at Yangxin County.
Wenpin led the Feilong Army to chase Jiangdong's army and attacked Jiangdong's army from time to time. Jiangdong's army was extremely exhausted by the Feilong Army's attacks, but they did not dare to stop and could only rush on. The Feilong Army seemed to be wandering.
The wolves all around appeared from time to time to attack their prey.
Ling Cao, who was on his way, glanced at the only five thousand soldiers and horses left behind him and said with a wry smile: "The ten thousand troops who came with great glory now have less than five thousand including the personal guards. It's really unpredictable."
Cheng Pu shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it, General Ling. There was a sneak attack by the Feilong Army in the dark this time. It's a blessing that the whole army was not wiped out. You must know that Wenpin is famous for annihilating enemy troops."
Ling Cao sighed: "You see, the Feilong Army has been chasing behind them. It is clear that they want to keep these five thousand soldiers and horses. At this speed, by the time we reach Chaisang, we are afraid that there will not be many five thousand soldiers and horses left."
Cheng Pu also sighed: "We can only take one step at a time."
As soon as Cheng Pu finished speaking, he saw three thousand flying dragon troops suddenly burst out of the woods nearby. Before Jiangdong's soldiers and horses could react, they cut Cheng Pu's five thousand army in half. The flying dragons were chasing them not far away.
The army suddenly speeded up and rushed forward to attack the Jiangdong soldiers and horses together.
Thousands of Jiangdong soldiers and horses in the rear were in chaos in an instant. Ling Cao in the front saw this and was about to lead his soldiers to rescue the surrounded soldiers and horses, but was stopped by Cheng Pu.
Ling Cao looked at Cheng Pu in confusion and said angrily: "General Cheng, why are you pulling me?"
Cheng Pu shook his head and said, "You can't go back. Even if you go back now, you can't save the soldiers behind you." After saying that, he pulled Ling Cao and left.
Ling Cao suddenly came to his senses. He was not struggling, but his expression was extremely poor. Most of the soldiers at the rear were soldiers and horses he brought from Chaisang. When he heard the screams coming from behind, Ling Cao was heartbroken.
Wringing the knife, he held the big knife tightly and ran forward with all his strength.
In just a short time, nearly two thousand Jiangdong soldiers and horses who were surrounded were killed. The Feilong Army joined forces to pursue Jiangdong's army again.
At this time, there were only less than 3,000 Jiangdong troops left, but Chai Sang's troops and horses were very few, and most of them were personal guards. The speed of the personal guards was obviously much faster, and they were far behind the army behind them.
After some distance, the remaining Chaisang soldiers and horses were also eliminated elite soldiers who could keep up with the pace of the guards.
Yangxin County is nearly 80 miles away from Chaisang. Such a long distance made Ling Cao a little worried. He looked at Cheng Pu and said: "This place has just left Yangxin County and is less than 20 miles away. It is more than 60 miles away from Chaisang's friends. Will the Feilong Army meet?"
Will there be another ambush on the road?"
Cheng Pu shook his head and said: "I don't know, but most of the Feilong Army is already here. Even if there are ambushes in front, there won't be too many. The Guards can rush over. What's more, the Feilong Army can't cover such a long distance."
They will definitely keep chasing him, and they will definitely not chase him again when they get close to Chai Sang."
After hearing Cheng Pu's words, Ling Cao breathed a sigh of relief and secretly sighed: "Now there are only these 10,000 soldiers left, and almost all the army has been wiped out. If I had known this, I would not have rashly come to pursue Liu Qi." Thinking of this, Ling Cao turned his head.
He said to Cheng Pu: "General Cheng, if I can't go back this time, please ask General Cheng to take care of Tong'er on my behalf."
Cheng Pu's expression changed and he looked at Ling Cao and said: "Why did General Ling say this? Although the losses were heavy this time, general don't be discouraged. We will gather troops and horses to recover it in the future. If nothing else happens, we can get it from Wu Commandery."
The 5,000 cavalrymen have arrived at Chaisang, and the 20,000-strong army led by General Sun will also arrive tomorrow. There is no chance for us." Although he knew that even if all these troops and horses arrived, the chance of defeating the Feilong Army would still be slim.
, but seeing Ling Cao's frustrated look, he couldn't help but comfort him.
After hearing Cheng Pu's words, Ling Cao felt relieved and said fiercely: "He will definitely avenge today."
Looking at Ling Cao's appearance, Cheng Pu said nothing. Although he knew that Ling Cao's chance of revenge was very small, he did not refute. If he wanted to take revenge, unless Sun Ce could mobilize all the Jiangdong army, he might be able to destroy Jingzhou at once. That would be
Only then can you take revenge.
The two armies were chasing and escaping like this for nearly an hour.
The two armies were nearly five miles apart, but Wenpin did not rush the Feilong Army. A rapid charge would easily make people tired, and a rapid march would also make people tired. If he rushed the Feilong Army, the Feilong Army might not have the energy to pursue after an impact.
Besides, he already had a good ambush in front of him, so there was no need to rush to pursue him.
Seeing that he was about to reach the place where Feihu Guards ambushed, Wenpin immediately ordered without hesitation: "Chase!" Then more than ten soldiers quickly passed on Wenpin's order, and the Feilong Army not far ahead received the order.
After the command, the speed increased sharply, and in just a quarter of an hour, the distance had been reduced to less than two miles.
The Feilong Army's pursuit naturally alarmed Cheng Pu, who without hesitation ordered to speed up and widen the distance between the two armies again. Not long after, they arrived in front of a dense forest, where a large road just passed through the dense forest.
Just when Cheng Pu and his army were about to enter the dense forest, a group of cavalry rushed over from the side of the dense forest, and then groups of cavalry rushed out of the dense forest and rushed towards the Jiangdong army.
Seeing the cavalry on the way, Cheng Pu and Ling Cao's expressions changed drastically. Cheng Pu even exclaimed: "Flying Dragon Guard." Then Cheng Pu's face showed determination and he said: "Charge over."
The Jiangdong army with less than 3,000 troops behind them formed a conical formation and rushed towards Feilongwei. It seemed that they wanted to get through at all costs.
Sima, who was in charge of the Feilong Guard, shouted loudly when he saw Jiangdong's soldiers and horses acting like this, and then rushed up with the Feilong Guards. His mission was to disperse the remaining Jiangdong soldiers and horses and then kill them one by one.
