So a chase battle began, in which victory was in hand.

On one side was a well-equipped pursuing army, and on the other side was a panicked fugitive brigade.

Although Sun Quan's escape brigade was larger in numbers, as predicted by Yu Ban, their speed could not be fast.

Coming out of Wanling County, they replenished a lot of supplies, but there were still too many people, few horses, insufficient food, and low morale, so their actions were very slow.

Sun Quan and the others naturally rode horses, but the number of horses was indeed small, except for the necessary military horses left for the cavalry troops, many supplies had to be pushed forward by soldiers with wheelbarrows.

In this way, the speed of the advance of the large army is as slow as the turtle crawling, and the distance advantage accumulated earlier by taking advantage of the time advantage is quickly wiped out.

It's not that Sun Quan doesn't want to be faster, but it's true that he can't be faster, if it's faster, once he breaks away from the baggage team, he won't have anything to eat or drink.

Rao is like this, and he is also restless.

"It's too slow to move like this, what if we are caught up by the Wei army?"

Sun Quan asked Sun Jing beside him.

Sun Jing shook his head: "They can't get up fast, no matter how fast they are, they are just riding horses, horses have to rest, people have to rest, they have to eat, drink and sleep, they can't be too fast, we will definitely be able to arrive in Yuzhang County, at that time, Lu Fan should also bring Jingzhou reinforcements." ”

Sun Jing comforted Sun Quan so much that Sun Quan was more or less relieved.

But in his heart, Sun Quan was still afraid.

It is only July 28, and it is only about a month before the official war with the Wei army begins.

In more than a month, he has become a lost dog, what is the gap in national strength between the two countries?

In the eyes of Wei State, is Wu really so vulnerable? Is it really never taken into account?

In this case, even if you reach Yuzhang County, can you unite the Jingzhou soldiers to win the Wei army?

Sun Quan was not sure, he did not have any confidence that he could defeat the Wei army.

Especially after losing Zhou Yu.

After witnessing Sun Ce's death, now he has no Zhou Yu again.

Zhou Yu is gone, the greatest sense of security in his heart is gone, he is very nervous, he can't sleep well all night, even if there is Sun Jing, Huang Gai and Ling Cao and the protection of thousands of troops around him, he still can't sleep peacefully.

He always felt as if the pursuers of the Wei army would appear behind him in the next second.

Although everyone said that the Wei army would never be able to catch up or anything, the fear in Sun Quan's heart did not diminish because of this.

He was really scared.

He prayed to the heavens countless times, hoping that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's spirits in the heavens would bless him with a successful escape and save his life.

But perhaps because it was a cloudy day, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's Heavenly Spirits didn't hear his prayers, so the last thing Sun Quan wanted to see happened.

On 29 July, Yu Ban led 3,000 Wei cavalry to catch up with Sun Quan's fugitive troops, shortly after they left Jing County.

When the feeling of the iron hoof shaking first came, Sun Quan and the others thought it was an earthquake, and it was not that there had been an earthquake in Jiangdong, Sun Quan was no stranger, and he felt a vibration on the ground, from far to near, which made him uneasy.

But soon they realized that it was not an earthquake, because they also heard the neighing of horses and the sound of people.

Capture Sun Quan alive!!

Such a sound from far and near, Sun Quan didn't hear it clearly at first, but when Sun Quan heard this voice clearly, he was instantly frightened stupid, at this time, the war horse under the crotch moved, Sun Quan was unstable, and fell off the horse directly.

"Enemy attack!!! Array!!! ”

The veteran Huang Gai reacted immediately, shouting at the enemy attack, and asked the remaining army to quickly line up.

But along the way, the fleeing team was both army and people, as well as a large number of vehicles, and it was impossible to line up in a hurry, while the Wei cavalry arrived in an instant.

The black-armored cavalry roared over, and the black-armored cavalry held the black Wei army flag, rushing towards them like a god of death, frightening the Wu soldiers in the fleeing army.

Throwing away the baggage vehicles, discarding everything that could be discarded, almost leaving himself somewhere, howling and running forward, where is there still the heart to line up to meet the enemy?

One person fled and a large group of people followed, and only a few did not escape.

Most of these soldiers who did not flee were private soldiers, and they tried their best to line up under the orders of the general to try to protect Sun Quan, but Sun Quan himself was already frightened.

"It's coming! Here it comes! They're coming!!!! ”

Sun Quan was so frightened that he trembled, got up from the ground and ran away together, so frightened that Sun Jing quickly jumped up and hugged Sun Quan.

"Zhongmou! Don't panic! Don't panic! Launched! Get on board! Get on the horse to escape!! ”

Sun Quan was stunned by this, and immediately nodded.

"That's right! Launched! Get on board! ”

Sun Quan stumbled towards his horse and ran over, Sun Jing helped him to get on the war horse, and then Sun Quan didn't wait for anything, and began to run away as soon as he patted the horse's buttocks.

"Zhongmou! Don't worry! Fast! Hurry up and protect Wu Gong!! ”

Sun Jing immediately asked the last personal guard around Sun Quan to protect Sun Quan, and he quickly got on the horse, looked at Huang Gai, who was standing behind him and never wavered, and gritted his teeth.

"Public, you ......"

"Let's go, Duke Wu needs someone to protect me, I will resist the Wei army here and buy time for Duke Wu to retreat."

Huang Gai smiled, not looking nervous.

Sun Jing bit his lip tightly, and as soon as he turned his head, he instigated the war horse to run.

Huang Gai didn't plan to escape, and of course there was really nowhere to escape right now.

In this situation, if he doesn't stay to resist the block, it will only make everyone die faster.

Facing cavalry without a military formation, what kind of thing would a man with an iron head dare to do?

Standing beside Huang Gai was Ling Cao, as one of the few generals of Sun Ce's era who was still alive, Ling Cao was also an old man who had experienced two major defeats in a row.

"You and I might die here."

Huang Gai looked at the rushing Wei cavalry, at the Wu soldiers who kept fleeing, and at the few soldiers who remained, but his face was unexpectedly calm.

"I shouldn't have lived a long time ago, I picked up a life before, but I don't understand, why did they come so quickly?"

Ling Cao was a little surprised: "According to our calculations, it won't be so fast, we have only left Jing County for a short time, why won't we catch up so quickly, don't they need to rest?" Even if people don't rest, horses have to rest, right? ”

"Maybe not, right? Who knows what method they used. ”

Huang Gai shook his head and pulled out his battle knife: "But it doesn't matter, what we have to do is to buy time for Wu Gong to escape." ”

"Can Gong Wu run away? How much time can we buy? ”

"Who knows?"

Huang Gai smiled bitterly and clenched the war knife in his hand: "But, let's do my duty as a minister, serve the three masters, and Huang Gongfu is here." ”

Huang Gai faced the surging Wei cavalry without the slightest expression of fear.

The Wei cavalry galloped at high speed under the leadership of Yu Ban and began to fire arrows in their proper positions.

Even if you are equipped with the three artifacts of cavalry, riding and archery is also everyone's housekeeping skill, so meaningful tricks cannot be discarded.

After a round of cavalry shooting, it was a hand axe throwing, and such a series of blows had already killed a group of Wu soldiers who could still fight in formation as they saw in front of them, and the military formation began to be unstable.

Then it's a head-on assault! Charge!
