Suddenly there were flashes of lightning, rolling thunder, and skyrocketing dark clouds in the southwest! As the saying goes, if the rain in the southwest doesn't come up, it will flood the pot, and in an instant the heavy rain will come again.

As a civil servant, Li Yu chose to kneel down and surrender as soon as he was surrounded. When E Qianqiu led the charge, he happened to encounter Guan Ying. The two exchanged less than three moves before he was shot by Guan Ying.

Sweeping across his neck, his eyes went black, he fell off his horse and was captured alive. The generals around Gong Ao also fell off their horses like sorghum stalks blown by the wind! He was really at the end of his rope.

Gong Ao thought that there were still tens of thousands of horses in Jiangling, 10,000 cavalry in Bajun, and 2,000 warships in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. As long as he could escape to the river, he could make a comeback, or at the worst, he could send a signal to the overlord of Western Chu.

, asked for support, and even went to Changsha to move Emperor Yi out to bring justice. Everyone was from the Chu state, how could they still be loyal to the King of Qin? The most important thing was to break through the encirclement and escape to the river.

The horses neighed and the chariots circled. In the chaos, Gong Ao finally discovered that some Linjiang troops had opened a bloody path on the left hand side, and hurriedly pulled the horses and rushed over. The Qin army couldn't care less about others running away, so they turned a blind eye.

With one eye closed, Gong Ao's goal was too big, and the soldiers behind him were too persistent. At this time, they were still holding high the 'king's flag' and fighting. The generals of the Qin army were fighting for credit.

They all rushed this way desperately, and wherever Gong Ao walked, a whirlpool of people immediately formed there.

At this time, six or seven generals of the Qin army, wearing helmets and armor, surrounded them from all directions. They all gnashed their teeth, screamed, and wanted to eat Gong Ao in one bite.

Gong Ao was not a great master, but his life was at stake now, and he had no worries anymore. He swung the iron halberd in his hand, no longer caring about life and death. He only focused on attacking with no defensive moves. A single halberd would hurt both sides. At that moment, there were two

The captain of the Qin army was killed. The remaining Qin generals not only did not retreat, but became more ferocious. They were even more happy to have two less competitors. They wielded their swords and guns and attacked from all possible angles.

kill.

Gong Ao did not dare to fight with them, so he retreated while fighting. The iron halberd suddenly swept across, forcing the four generals to retreat, and then turned around and fled. The four Qin generals were too close to him, and they rode forward without any effort.

There were four bloody holes behind him. Gong Ao had expected it a long time ago. He raised his head and screamed to the sky. The veins on his neck almost popped out. He pinched the horse's belly with his legs and the horse rushed out desperately. The horses on both sides

The soldiers gathered around, barely protected the king, broke out of the siege, and fled towards Bajun.

After Gong Ao ran away, the Linjiang army was even more defeated. In the heavy rain, half of the soldiers threw down their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy. The other half were killed by the Qin cavalry who were following them during the escape. A road suddenly changed.

It became a flowing river of red blood! Wang Zhu did not participate in the battle from the beginning to the end. He personally commanded a thousand cavalry and held the battle behind him. The king's flag was raised high and drums were beaten to cheer, constantly boosting the morale of the Qin army. Huan Yan was watching

Only when he reached the royal banner that he could still stand, did he decisively open the city to help in the war.

When Wang Zhu saw Gong Ao escaping, he immediately ordered his soldiers to stand on a high place and used flags to direct the soldiers to pursue in the direction of Ba County. He also personally led a thousand cavalry and followed him as fast as lightning. Anyone could escape, except Gong Ao.

The culprit cannot go away and must be eradicated.

Gong Ao galloped on horseback for more than an hour. He looked back and saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers following him. There were only less than three to five thousand people. The wounds on his back continued to spurt out blood as the horses galloped. His body was like

Like a broken bottle, the blood was about to drain. Not far away, birds were flying, branches were swaying, and flags were fluttering. It was the Qin Army's large force that was chasing them. Gong Ao felt a sense of despair in his heart. It was over, this time it was complete.

It was over. The whip was whipped hard on the war horse more than a dozen times, but the horse did not speed up. After a night of hard fighting, the war horse's "skill" was also exhausted, and it could no longer run wildly.

Maybe Gong Ao didn't deserve to die here. At this time, the heavy rain suddenly stopped, and it stopped as soon as it was said to stop, and there was no more.

The dense forest in front of Gong Ao blocked the road. In his eyes, the rows of trees looked like rows of Qin soldiers. The dense leaves were like endless arrows rushing towards him. He was so scared that a layer of white formed on his back.

Mao Han! Damn it, isn't there an ambush here?! I can't care about that much. You will die if you charge, and you will die if you don't charge. Why don't I give it a try? Gong Ao ordered the hundreds of cavalry around him; "Hurry up."

, into the woods!”

The cavalry were running in the dark. It was Liu Shen Wuzhu. When he heard Gong Ao speak, he immediately knew the backbone. Thinking that he had some good strategy to retreat from the enemy, he rushed in ahead of the king. Gong Ao looked behind him and was sure.

There were no archers in ambush, so he rushed in on horseback. Gong Ao thought to himself, Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, don't chase the poor enemy, and don't enter the forest! It is very likely that the Qin soldiers would not dare to pursue him, so my life is saved!

Just when I was thinking about something wonderful! Suddenly there were fireworks and gunfire in the woods, and someone shouted loudly in the thick smoke: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, don't panic, general 'Ben He' will come to rescue you!"

Gong Ao was overjoyed: "General Ben He, hurry up, hurry up and stop the pursuers!"

Suddenly a group of men and horses burst out from the fireworks, headed by a general, wearing a red tassel, combat boots, and dazzling black light armor. They had long arms, long legs, a straight nose and a square mouth, and their eyes were shining. At first sight, Gong Ao,

He immediately rode his horse over and shouted sternly: "Your Majesty, the general heard in Bajun that the king was surrounded by the Qin army, and immediately led troops to rescue him. Your Majesty, Bajun can't go back. Quickly follow the general to the riverside and force the crossing.

Dajiang, go back to Jiangling and make plans."

Gong Ao's eyes filled with tears when he heard this, and he was deeply moved; "If the general can save me, I will definitely treat him as a brother in the future!" Ben He raised his hand on the horse and said: "General, there is no need to repay the duty, and it should not be delayed.

Your Majesty, hurry up and leave. The general will stop here and burn the woods to block the Qin army."

"General, please take care and share the wealth in the future!" Gong Ao rode away with the remaining soldiers. Ben He waved his spear and said to the soldiers behind him, "Quick, pour tung oil, shoot rockets, and set fire to the forest!

"

When Wang Zhu's soldiers rushed outside the woods, they heard a muffled sound of "boom boom". The green leaves and branches with sufficient water vomited out white smoke like mist in the burning fire, and everything within a radius of twenty miles turned into chaos.

The direction was unclear and the path could not be seen. The fire head went straight up from the tree trunk. Wang Zhu seemed to see pythons spitting out their fiery red cores and stretching and contracting on the top of the tree. However, they could never come out. There was a faint light in the thick smoke.

Hear the crackling sound of burning dead trees collapsing and popping.

"Oops, Gong Ao escaped! Guide, is there any other way here!" Wang Zhu shouted angrily behind him.

Guan Ying, Huan Yan, Zhang Han, and Li Bi led their troops to kill them one after another. Seeing this scene, they shouted that it was a pity. The guide ran over in a panic and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, there is another remote mountain road.

, it’s steep and rugged, and it’s a long way around, so I’m afraid it will take an extra hour or two!”

Guan Ying said in a loud voice, "This fire will last for at least ten days. Could it be that we are just waiting here? Please give the king's order to take a detour to pursue!" Wang Zhu said, "You are the commander, you can make the decision on this kind of thing.

Give you the right!" Guan Ying was not polite, turned around to face the generals, and shouted loudly: "Detour, go to the river!" Huan Yan said, "We should go to Bajun, Gong Ao will definitely flee there!"

Wang Zhu said sternly, "Military orders are like mountains. If the general says to go to the river, you go to the river. Do you want to disobey the order?"

When the generals heard that Wang Zhu trusted Guan Ying so much, they didn't dare to speak. They turned around, took Bu Qu, and followed the guide towards the path. Wang Zhu himself followed at the end to hold the line!

As expected, the path was rugged and muddy. The Qin army's cavalry was greatly restricted and their speed slowed down a lot. It took nearly two hours to get around the entire forest. It was already dusk. The sky became dark, and only the people behind them were still there.

It was a burning, red patch of fire. There was an open land in front of it, with roads stretching out in all directions. On the road to the left toward Bajun, horse hoofs and wheel footprints overlapped in disorder. It was obvious that the enemy was heading towards Bajun City.

. But Guan Ying still insisted on his opinion: "This must be Gong Ao's trick. I conclude that they are going to the river, heading south!" The war horses rushed towards the south road like a cannonball.

Zhang Han, Huan Yan and others did not have much trust in this surrendered general. Huan Yan couldn't bear it anymore and rushed behind him and shouted: "General, pursue forward. The last general will lead his troops to the east and divide the troops into two groups. This is safe!"

Ying knew what he said was reasonable, but considering that he was a surrendered general and had just been entrusted with an important task by the King of Qin, if he was so weak, he would not be able to control the army in the future. He firmly believed in his judgment and must use this opportunity to

Impress these powerful Qin army generals.

Guan Ying reined in his horse, turned around, glared at Huan Yan, and shouted sternly: "Your Majesty, you will hand over the power of life and death to me. This general has the power to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises. If anyone refuses to obey, the military law is strict and he will be killed without mercy."

!" Huan Yan remembered what Wang Zhu had just said and didn't dare to speak. Guan Ying said with a straight face, "You guys just go south and don't worry about anything else!" Huan Yan blushed and had a thick neck, and wanted to protest again,

Zhang Han pulled him behind him and whispered: "Wait to watch the fun and see how he ends up!"

Guan Ying didn't hear it and rushed out on horseback.

Gong Ao was already close to the river at this time, and Ben He also rushed over with his army. He roughly counted the number of people, and found that there were about 20,000 people, which was a loss of eight-tenths. Gong Ao could not bear to feel distressed, and quickly ordered Ben He to come to the river.

Organize the soldiers to board the ship and raise the sails, and prepare to weigh the anchor.

The wind on the river was freezing, so Ben He divided his soldiers into twenty teams, with each thousand people boarding a warship. The soldiers ran frantically toward the river in order to escape for their lives.

The sun sets in the west, and the glow is brilliant. Half of the river is rustling, and half of the river is red!

As if they were racing against the soldiers, the dark clouds above their heads surged in like angry waves. A storm swept across the sky, and the sky suddenly became dark. Several thunders exploded in the sky, and raindrops as big as soybeans sprinkled down. The raindrops scattered like strings of beads covered the river.

The blow made countless pits and made a roaring sound. All the Linjiang Army soldiers who were running were blocked by the rain curtain. The vast river water overflowing was white, and the void was also white. They only knew how to move forward.

They drove forward and ran forward, forgetting everything else. They felt an unprecedented level of exhaustion, like those who had traveled a long distance and were exhausted and lost in the desert when they saw the oasis on the horizon and were almost crazy with joy——

However, I didn’t expect that this was just an out-of-reach mirage!

Strong winds and heavy rain swept across the river. Thousands of warships were bumping and tilting in the huge waves, sometimes jumping up and sometimes falling. Still twenty feet away from the side of the ship, the soldiers felt a nausea-inducing feeling.

dizziness.

Suddenly, in the violent storm that was raging around the world, countless water-soaked bodies appeared on the bumpy warship and in the dark sky and earth. After a crackling sound, the soldiers of the Linjiang Army heard bursts of arrows.

The sharp whistle produced when the air broke through was heard in the ears. The comrades who rushed towards the warship like waves fell to the ground one after another, with blood splattering on their chests, necks, and foreheads far away. On the river bank

There were corpses and squirming injuries on the verge of death, and the arrows flying from the warships were still as fierce and dense as the heavy rain! The Linjiang army had their hearing and vision obscured by the heavy rain, so they could not see the situation clearly, and there were still many of them.

Driven by the eagerness to return home, the soldiers still went to die.

The fishy smell of rain covered up the smell of blood. Arrows were still shooting suddenly. Wang Ben, holding a bright white sword, stood on the bumpy bow of the ship, hoarsely issuing cruel orders again and again: "Shoot! Kill!"

All 30,000 soldiers were equipped with bows and arrows. Each man had 20 arrows in his hand. In less than a minute, they were all shot. The remaining 20,000 horses of the Linjiang Army had already lost another seven to eight thousand. The Qin Army simply did not have them.

Taking aim, just estimating that the shooting range was approaching, he fired arrows randomly into a large group of densely packed heads. There was bound to be a corresponding scream. When Gong Ao and Ben He, who were supervising the formation behind them, found out that they were ambushed, they wanted to evacuate the people.

When leaving, due to the heavy rain, the orders were ignored, and even the sound of war drums could not penetrate the rain curtain. Ben He personally rode on horseback to try to stop the soldiers, but the running soldiers all wanted to return, and almost killed him.

Knocked down. Ben He reluctantly restrained more than a thousand soldiers and returned to Gong Ao. At this time, Gong Ao's legs were weak.

Where did these Qin soldiers come from? Did they fall from the sky?!

In the blur, the Qin soldiers on the bow jumped to the ground one after another with bright swords and guns, and rushed towards the Linjiang army. For the first time, the sound of shouts drowned out the sound of the heavy rain and reached Gong Ao's ears. Linjiang

At this time, the Qin army discovered that they had been ambushed and the warship was occupied by the Qin army. The desperate soldiers quickly formed two parts. One part turned around and ran back in fear, while the other part felt that there was no hope of survival and gritted their teeth.

Still charging forward, it is completely a posture of killing one to make up for the capital and killing a pair to gain one.

The soldiers on both sides were blocked by the wind and heavy rain. The charging speed was much slower than usual, but it seemed heavier and more desperate. The soldiers met in close combat, the weapons were clanging, and countless sparks were knocked out in the heavy rain, attacking, attacking.

Attack again; fight, fight, and fight again. The ruthless rainstorm seems to have inspired the beastiality that exists in human beings. The soldiers on both sides are red-eyed, and each one roars like a wolf in his throat. All he can think about is
Chapter completed!
