He could only hear the neighing sound of the war horse under his crotch, his four hooves kicked hard, and Nuo Da's body leaped high into the air.
One person and one horse rode across a pit several feet wide, roaring towards the place.
Amidst the sound of heavy trampling, the horse unexpectedly jumped over the pit and landed on the side of the tent.
Dong Xi raised his horse and wielded his sword, using the momentum of his forward charge to rush towards Yan Liang.
In the blink of an eye, it's in front of you.
Yan Liang, who stood tall and tall, showed no fear at all. His iron-tower-like figure moved quickly and sideways to avoid Dong Xi's sword. The long sword in his hand swept out with extremely fierce force.
But amid the sound of bones and flesh being torn apart, the poor horse's flying hooves were all cut off by Yan Liang's knife.
The broken-hoofed war horse fell forward miserably, and Nuo Da's figure crashed to the ground. Dong Xi, who was on the horse, was caught off guard and fell forward, falling heavily to the ground.
When Yan Liang turned around, the entire tent had been knocked over, and a bloody red carpet was spread out several feet away. The horse with broken hoofs lay on the ground whining endlessly, which was extremely terrifying.
Lu Xun and the confused Wu soldiers on the other side of the trap were shocked by Yan Liang's power when they saw the scene here.
Lu Xun was the first to wake up from the shock, frowned and cursed secretly, "Reckless man", then he stopped caring about Dong Xi, turned around on his horse, and led his troops to withdraw outside the camp.
But Dong Xi, who had fallen to the ground, struggled to get up from the ground with full of shock and anger, his face and body covered with blood.
"With such courage, I guess you are Dong Xi. Yes, you still have some courage. If you are willing to surrender, I may still be able to use you."
Yan Liang said he was "arrogant" and didn't take Dong Xi seriously at all.
Yan Liang's contempt made Dong Xi furious, and he roared: "Yan Liang, you thief, take your orders -"
Amidst the loud shouts, Dong Xi jumped up and slashed towards Yan Liang's head with his sword.
This all-out blow was quite powerful, but in Yan Liang's opinion, it was only second-rate.
How could Yan Liang, who possesses superb martial arts skills, take such challenges seriously?
The eyebrows of the sword were condensed, and Yan Liang's figure turned like the wind. The long knife in his hand used the power of rotation to strike back.
The rolling force of the tide tore through the air, carrying the sound of hunting wind, and slashed upward diagonally.
Two swords collided instantly.
Bang——
There was a loud sound that shook the eardrums, and flying sparks shot out in all directions.
Yan Liang's body was like a rock, standing still, while Dong Xi's body was like a kite with its string cut off.
Boo!
Dong Xi fell heavily to the ground, making several "crack" sounds. Several sternum bones were broken.
At the same time as his sternum was broken, Dong Xi felt his energy and blood surge, and he opened his mouth and spurted out an arrow of blood.
With one move, the decision can be made.
The absolute gap in martial arts cannot be made up by reckless fighting spirit.
Dong Xi, who had always had contempt for Yan Liang, the "thief who betrayed his master", only then realized that this man's legendary martial arts skills were not just lies.
"Last chance, surrender or not."
Yan Liang dragged his sword sideways and approached step by step. His cold gaze and hunting force were even more oppressive.
Dong Xi endured the severe pain and got up from the blood-stained ground. He glared at Yan Liang with disdain and said disdainfully: "I am a loyal minister of the Sun family. How can I surrender to you, a violent man like you who has betrayed his master, Yan Liang, a thief?
I want your life——"
Before he finished speaking, Dong Xi rushed forward again like a mad beast, and the knife in his hand was swung towards Yan Liang with all his strength.
Rebellious, foolish and loyal person, you are seeking death!
Yan Liang was also angry, and murderous intent suddenly appeared in his knife-like eyes.
Amid the violent shouts, the ape's arms moved like shadows, and the sword in his hand was like a crescent moon, coming first and then like lightning.
The power of the sword was like a roaring wave, and it struck Dong Xi's sword in an instant.
puff--
With a dull tearing sound, Dong Xi's upper body and lower body separated at the waist.
Before the severed body fell to the ground, the intestines inside had fallen out along with a large amount of blood, scattering all over the ground.
Dong Xi, who only had half of his body left, fell to the ground, with large amounts of blood gushing out from under his body. Half of his body twitched for a moment, then stopped moving.
With only two moves, Dong Xi, known as Jiangdong's fierce general, was beheaded by Yan Liang.
The Wu soldiers on the other side of the pit could clearly see the scene where Dong Xi was beheaded. Such a shocking scene instantly shattered their remaining fighting spirit.
Everyone was completely shocked by Yan Liang.
The frightened Wu soldiers dispersed, turning around and running away, fearing that if they fled a step too slowly, they would die like their general, under Yan Liang's blade.
Lu Fan, who was staying aside, was already dumbfounded. Even Zhou Cang, who was accustomed to seeing Yan Liang's power, couldn't help but take a breath.
"Go on." Yan Liang, who was beheading the general, threw the knife towards Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment and almost didn't catch it, then he regained his composure.
Lu Fan stepped into the dilapidated tent and looked at Dong Xi's two horrific corpses, with a shiver running down his back.
"Dong Xi was considered a fierce general in Jiangdong, but he was able to kill his lord with just two swords. His martial arts skills are so strong that even the little overlord back then was not as good as him..."
When Lu Fan sighed, Yan Liang got on his horse.
"Let's go, follow me to meet Lu Boyan." After saying that, Yan Liang rode off and went around the trap to pursue Lu Xun.
Lu Fan woke up from the shock and quickly mounted his horse to follow.
…
Under the moonlight, Lu Xun was galloping on his horse.
Although Lu Xun had never fought against Yan Liang, he had no doubts about Yan Liang's martial arts prowess.
He knew very well that if Dong attacked that man by leaping across the pit to challenge Yan Liang, he would only lose his life.
Since there is no suspense about Dong Xi's death, saving his own life is the most important thing right now.
There were shouts of killing from all directions. When Lu Xun led thousands of frightened remnant soldiers and had not yet rushed out of the camp, he saw a group of men and horses arriving like a tide on the right wing.
In the firelight, the big flag with the word "yellow" was particularly dazzling.
The long sword is invincible, harvesting human heads wantonly, and the sharp arrows pierce the poplars at a hundred steps, and the arrows are not missed. It is Huang Zhong, the general under Yan Liang's command.
Huang Zhong's army was like a sharp blade, cutting Lu Xun's Wu army in half.
Six thousand defeated troops were killed and howled like ghosts and wolves, with most of them dead and wounded. The remaining soldiers followed Lu Xun and ran desperately looking north.
Lu Xun managed to escape through the confusion, but he could not run more than half a mile when another group of soldiers came out fiercely from the left wing.
The banner with the word "Wei" was flying, and the general who was riding his horse to kill was none other than the young general Wei Yan who had made a surprise attack on Aixian County.
Wei Yan was invincible, the blood of the three thousand tiger soldiers was boiling, and their blades ruthlessly slashed at the frightened Wu army.
Lu Xun managed to break through the rebel army with great difficulty, leaving less than a thousand men behind, running towards Haihun City in a panic.
With the relentless pursuit of soldiers behind him, Lu Xun did not dare to stop for a single step, and ran to the south gate of Haihun panting.
"I am Lu Xun, please open the door quickly and let me into the city." Lu Xun shouted towards the city.
At this time, the only ones left in the city were more than a hundred remnant soldiers who had lost their combat effectiveness.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw countless torches erected on the pitch-black city top. The sudden fire pierced Lu Xun and the remnant army of more than a thousand Wu soldiers until they could not open their eyes.
Lu Xun instinctively raised his arms to block it, and finally got used to it. When he looked up, he was shocked to see that the top of the city was covered with Yan's troops like divine soldiers descending from the sky.
Under the big banner with the character "Zhang", Zhang Liao pointed his sword and sneered: "Listen, Wu people, you have fallen into my lord's scheme. If you don't surrender now, how will it be later?"
It turned out that Yan Liang was sure that the Wu people would break out with all their troops, so when setting up an ambush, he ordered Zhang Liao to lead an army to attack Haihun City first.
At this time, Lu Xun was so shocked that he could not describe it in words. He never expected that he would suffer such a misfortune as soon as he made a false surrender plan.
Now the counties to the west of Haihun have been occupied by Yan Liang, Chaisang and Hukou to the north have cut off the north passage from the Yangtze River, and to the south are countless Yan Liang's besieging troops.
In desperation, Lu Xun decided to lead his remaining troops to break out of the encirclement to the east, perhaps breaking through Yan's defense line and escaping to Poyang County on the east coast of Dongting Lake.
Thinking of this, Lu Xun did not dare to think too much, and immediately shouted at the soldiers to flee eastward.
Seeing that the enemy army was about to flee, Zhang Liao hurriedly ordered to fire arrows, and the arrows whizzed down like rain. The Wu army, which had no time to escape, was swept away in a blink of an eye.
After running wildly, the rain of arrows behind him finally disappeared.
At this time, the east has turned white, and dawn seems to be coming.
The five hundred remaining soldiers were like rats crossing the street, as tired as dogs. Even Lu Xun, who was riding a horse, was already soaked to the skin.
The trenches dug by Yan Jun were already visible in front. Crossing the trench was equivalent to breaking through Yan Jun's defense line.
Hope is just around the corner.
At this moment, loud shouts of killing were heard, and countless Yan troops suddenly jumped out of the ditch. The black mass of soldiers and horses blocked Lu Xun's way again.
At the same time, the other generals and horses led by Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Zhang Liao had also surrounded and killed them from all directions.
Just when Lu Xun was horrified, Yan's army of nearly 20,000 men had surrounded him and his 500 remaining soldiers in a death area less than a hundred paces in radius.
Lu Xun looked around and saw countless torches, lighting up the sky as bright as day, countless flags, blocking the surrounding sight, and dense forests of cold blades that almost chilled the sky.
There is no escape, we are at a dead end.
Lu Xun was in despair, his handsome face was as gray as ashes.
Just as he was panicking, Yan's army suddenly spread out like a wave, and a formidable general slowly stepped into the front of the battle.
Yan Liang stationed himself in front of the horse formation, raised his head and said, "Lu Boyan, you are at the end of your rope. If you don't want hundreds of your subordinates to die here, why not ride alone to see me."
Lu Xun was shocked. Although he had never met him, he could guess that it must be Yan Liang's voice.
The situation was so desperate that as long as Yan Liang gave an order, he and his five hundred remaining soldiers would be surrounded and killed in an instant.
Lu Xun had no choice.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Xun took a deep breath, then rode out and rode towards Yan Liang's location alone.
