Jia Xu hurriedly came to Chen Lang, clasped his fist and said, "Master, the scout just came to report that he would pull out the East County overnight and withdraw the camp south!"

Chen Lang's heart moved, and he smiled: "Seventy or eighty percent is because Sun Jian was seriously injured and Jiangdong Army's morale was low, so he had to retreat!"

Jia Xu nodded, "Subordinates also think this is the most likely!"

Chen Lang thought for a while, and said: "Now it is the time when the Jiangdong army is at its worst. We can catch up with them and kill them fiercely for a while!" Jia Xu sat down and nodded hesitatingly.

Seeing Jia Xu's agreement, Chen Lang immediately summoned all the generals, and ordered Xu Huang and Jia Xu to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, Zhao Yun led the cavalry to chase first, and he himself led the generals and the main force to follow up. Command, the three armies moved, Zhao Zilong first led nearly ten thousand warriors out of the city to chase the Jiangdong Army, which was retreating south, and Chen Lang and the generals led the main force out of the city.

The army went all the way south, and there were constant news from scouts that the Jiangdong army was hurriedly retreating south, discarding countless heavy supplies along the way.

Zhao Yun led the war knight rushing all the way, when the first ray of sunlight hit the earth in the morning, the war knight led by Zhao Yun had already entered Huarong Road. The terrain of Huarong Road is steep, with green hills stretching, and there is only one pathway winding between the mountains.

The cavalry led by Zhao Yun entered Huarong Road. Due to the steep terrain, the running speed had to be slowed down. Zhao Yun saw the green hills towering high and the eagle hitting the top of the cliff, and a bad feeling arose in his heart. Zhao Yun stopped the white dragon horse and raised the gentian spear. The soldiers stopped one after another.

Pei Yuanshao came behind Zhao Yun and asked, "General, is there any situation?"

Zhao Yun looked at the rugged terrain in front of him, frowning and said, "The terrain here is so rugged, and the consequences of enemy ambush are unimaginable!"

At this moment, among the mountains and trees hundreds of steps away, thousands of archers with peculiar costumes slowly stood up, bowed their bows and took arrows!

Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Father and son Sun Jian are by no means ordinary people, how can we retreat without leaving the soldiers behind! The ambush troops are fixed here and retreat immediately!"

However, at this moment, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the air! Zhao Yun's expression changed, and he shouted: "Hurry up!" Then he saw countless black shadows falling from the sky like migratory locusts! Zhao Yun quickly waved his gentian spear to block! He only heard the crackling sound, the cavalry who was caught off guard suddenly turned on their backs, and a feather arrow hit the ground in an instant! "Go back!" Zhao Yun screamed, waving his gentian spear to block the arrow while retreating. The cavalry hurriedly backed up. Some people kept falling down with arrows. They crawled on the ground without death, but were caught by the next wave of strength. The arrow was nailed to the ground.

Zhao Yunyan saw the arrow rain coming from the top of the mountain at least two hundred steps away. He was shocked and muttered: "This must be the Hengjiang Archer of Jiangdong!" Hengjiang Archer, one of the few in the Jiangdong Army The elite troops are said to be born in the Jiangdong Mountains. They have been skilled in archery since they were young. They were turned to special longbows made of paulownia. They could not help but have a long range and very precise shooting.

In less than a stick of incense, three thousand Hengjiang archers poured down countless arrow rain, and the Yingyang war cavalry hurriedly withdrew from Huarong Road with heavy losses. At this moment, Sun Ce, who was ambushing on the outside of Huarong Road, suddenly led his 3,000 warriors to rush out and rushed out of the Eagle Yang army caught off guard, only to see the flesh and blood flying across the Eagle Yang army with heavy casualties. Zhao Yun hurriedly arrived at Sun Ce, who was in the midst of thousands of horses and galloping into the land of no one. The two tigers fought each other and killed the sun and the moon with grief. At the same time, the eagle and the Yang army also fought back. , Desperate conflict, only blood and water filled the sky in the cold light flying, the war riders on both sides turned on their horses and turned into mud in the rolling iron hoof! Seeing Ying Yang's army gradually reversed the unfavorable situation, at this moment, the other side suddenly broke out three thousand Jiangdong warriors. Jiangdong general Zhou Tai led three thousand warriors out of the forest, like a spear slammed. Into the Eagles! Although Ying Yangjun fought hard to resist, he was gradually moved by the enemy's impulse!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Yun hurriedly fired Sun Ce with a vain shot, and immediately led his subordinates to break through the north, and he just made a **** way to the north!

Sun Ce waited for a while, but seeing that he couldn't catch up, he stopped chasing and returned to Huarong Road.

Chen Lang was leading the army to the south. Seeing Zhao Yun led the remnants back, everyone was covered in blood and looked very embarrassed. He couldn't help being surprised and asked: "Zilong, have you encountered an ambush?"

Zhao Yun nodded, "The final admiral encountered an enemy ambush in Huarong Road, and finally killed it!" Turned his head and glanced at the blood-stained subordinate warrider, frowning: "But the final general's warrider was damaged. Almost half!"

Wei Yan hurriedly said: "Master, now we can catch up again and we will win a big victory!"

Wen Pin said: "No. The enemy army did not flee, but temporarily retreated because of Sun Jian's injury. I guess the enemy army will defend Huarong Road and will not retreat entirely! If you chase rashly, you will definitely be defeated again!"

Chen Lang said: "You two don't have to argue, the army will find the clue when it reaches Huarong Road!" Then the army continued to move south.

Soon after, the army arrived outside Huarong Road, only to see the corpses on the battlefield where Zhao Yun and the others fought before, everywhere with spears like forests, blood on the ground, blood-stained flags fluttering in the wind! Looking at this scene, we can see the tragic extent of the battle at that time!

Zhao Yun pointed to the mountain top in the distance, and said, "Master, after our army entered Huarong Road, the enemy Hengjiang shooter ambushed us on the top of the mountain! When our army exited Huarong Road, they ambushed in the woods on both sides in advance. Suddenly, Sun Ce and Zhou Tai led the cavalry out. Our army could not resist and was defeated in the end!" Zhao Yun looked ashamed.

Chen Lang patted him on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Zilong doesn't have to blame himself. It's also fortunate that Zilong found out that the situation was wrong in time and didn't go deep into Huarong Dao. If he was replaced by another general, the whole army would be wiped out!"

Chen Lang ordered the army to stay in place, and then led Zhao Yun and others to the high mountain next to him, looking towards Huarong Road. The green hills stretched and the mountains were steep. Under the cover of the greenery, people's shadows were faintly visible in the cold light. Obviously, even though the enemy had won a great battle, they did not withdraw from Huarong Road, and there were still soldiers and horses in ambush. Wei Yan frowned and said, "The mountains are cold and dazzling, and the enemy is still in ambush!"

Chen Lang looked at Wenpin and smiled and said, "It seems that General Wenpin's judgment is right!" Then he led everyone back to the army and ordered the whole army to return to Jingzhou. The army immediately turned around and returned to Jingzhou City.

Sun Ce, who was guarding Huarong Dao, saw the enemy retreating from a distance, and regretfully cursed: "Chen Lang, a tortoise with a shrunken head, dare not attack!" He immediately said to Han: "General Han, you must guard Huarong Dao. I'm going back to my life!"

The news that Hua Rong had won for a while returned to the Jiangdong army, and the Jiangdong army was cheering, sweeping away the previous gloomy atmosphere.

Sun Jian walked out of the big tent with the support of Zhuge Jin, and saw the morale of his army boosted. He couldn't help but feel relieved, and muttered, "Thanks to Gong Jin's wonderful plan!" Zhuge Jin on the side could not help but sigh, "Gong Jin is really worthy of it He is a general talent, who can turn defeat into victory in such an unfavorable situation!"

Sun Jian nodded in agreement, and then muttered thoughtfully: "Our army's morale is restored and we can attack Jingzhou again!"

Chen Lang and Jia Xu stood in front of the sand table. Jia Xu frowned and said, "The enemy has won for a while, and the morale has been boosted. With Sun Jian as a person, I am afraid they will attack Jingzhou again!"

At this moment, a fang rushed in and reported with joy: "Master, General Chen Gong has led the army!" Chen Lang and Jia Xu were all overjoyed. At this moment, a man strode in and laughed loudly: "Master, Wenhe, I am not late, am I?" This man is not someone else, but he led an army of 100,000 to capture Wancheng and then circumvented to Chen. palace.

Chen Lang Jia Xu immediately greeted him, and Chen Lang smiled and said, "You are not late, the time is just right!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "With these 100,000 fresh troops, what fear does Sun Jian have to make a comeback!"

Each of the three sat down. Chen Gong asked incomprehensibly: "I heard that Lord Gonghe and Wenhe defeated Sun Jian not long ago. Hasn't Sun Jian escaped yet?

Chen Lang shook his head and said with a smile: "Sun Jian is not the one who gave up so easily!" Then he said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, tell the public about the recent battle in detail."

Jia Xu responded and explained the recent battle in detail.

Chen Gong thoughtfully nodded, and said: "Sun Jian is called the Jiangdong Tiger, and it is naturally not easy to follow. In the battle of Huarong Dao, the morale of the Jiangdong army may be revived. Taking Sun Jian as a person will definitely make a comeback!"

Before Chen Gong had finished speaking, a scout rushed in anxiously and reported: "Hey, my lord, the Jiangdong army has already left Huarong Road and is marching towards Jingzhou!"

Chen Lang smiled and said: "Sure enough!" Then he stood up and said excitedly: "Okay! Let us decide a male and female this time!" Then he ordered: "Send the army to seize the time to rest!"

Both the Yingyang Army and the Jingzhou Army were resting in their respective camps, and laughter and rioting sounded from time to time, and it seemed that they did not have the atmosphere that they should have before the war. At the same time, the scout kept coming in and out of the city gate, the sound of rushing horse hooves continued.

In the evening of that day, Chen Lang came to the city gate and looked to the south. Through the afterglow of the setting sun, he could see the sky in the south with smoke and dust like smog! Chen Lang knew that Jiangdong Army was not far away!

A scout rushed to the gate of the city and came behind Chen Lang, reporting: "Master Qi, Sun Jian's army is less than 30 miles away from Jingzhou!" Chen Lang nodded, "Explore again!" The scout promised and ran down. His rapid footsteps hadn't disappeared from the downstairs of the city gate, and another rapid footstep came up again quickly. Another scout rushed behind Chen Lang and clasped his fists, saying, "Leader Qi, the naval forces led by Zhou Yu have approached the camp of Jingzhou naval forces in Xiazhai!"
