Chapter 359: The End of the Road
Seeing that he had already broken out of the encirclement, Lu Meng didn't care that the rear team did not rush out.
Hurriedly led the people who had already broken out of the encirclement all the way out of Huarong Road and headed towards Jingling.
On the side of Huarong Road, Huang Xu re-blocked the gap and blocked the remaining Jiangdong army.
At this moment, I could only hear the deafening sound of horses' hooves in front of me.
"Zhengyang is in a panic, Deng Ai is coming!" Among the cavalry, Deng Ai took the lead and killed the rear of the Jiangdong Army.
"Hahaha, it's good to come!" Huang Xu laughed when he heard this.
When Liu Chan led his troops to rest, Deng Ai happened to lead his troops over, and when he heard the shouting of killing on Huarong Dao's side, Liu Chan asked Deng Ai to come over first to help Huang Xu.
Although Deng Ai's cavalry also had a hard time, they didn't have to shoot when they were on the road.
However, Liu Chan led his troops to chase and kill Lu Meng, but he had to keep shooting the enemy, so Deng Ai's soldiers and horses still had strong combat effectiveness.
Deng Ai led the cavalry to rush into the rear of the Jiangdong Army, the foot soldiers were not the opponents of the cavalry, and the Jiangdong Army was so tired that they couldn't walk on the road, and they couldn't pick up their weapons, so they could only let the cavalry slaughter.
Among the remaining generals, Dong Ran was exhausted and was beheaded by Huang Xu, who was fighting hard, Zhu Ran continued to lead the troops to charge into battle, and Deng Ai arrived in the rear and captured Zhu Ran alive.
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
There were so many Jiangdong troops, and they had no power to resist, and the Xiliang cavalry was tired of cutting down, and they shouted for the Jiangdong army to surrender.
Naturally, the Jiangdong Army would not resist and laid down their arms one after another.
At this time, Liu Chan led his troops over.
Huang Xu said to Liu Chan with a look of self-reproach: "Shizi, let Lu Meng escape." ”
"It's fine!" Liu Chan patted Huang Xu on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Bao led the cavalry in Jiangling first, and he came with Deng Ai, I gave him 2,000 cavalry, and asked him to outflank Lu Meng from the path, Lu Meng He can't run." ”
Huang Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "That's good!" ”
"Zi Wei!" Liu Chan asked Lin Yuan behind him, "How long will it take for the military advisor to arrive?" ”
Lin Yuan arched his hand and said, "There are still twenty miles away from here. ”
"Twenty miles, an hour and a half at most!" Liu Chan nodded and said, "First clean up the valley mouth, control the Jiangdong soldiers, let's rest for a while, and when the military division arrives, we are chasing Lu Meng." ”
"No!"
Huarong Dao is full of corpses of Jiangdong soldiers, cavalry is not easy to walk, and there are a large number of Jiangdong soldiers, Liu Chan must deal with them before he can chase Lu Meng.
More than an hour later, the outside of Huarong Road was cleaned up, and Pang Tong also led his troops to arrive, Pang Tong carried all foot soldiers, and they also carried a large amount of grain, grass and water.
After all, Liu Chan and Deng Ai's army set off in a hurry, and they didn't carry much food, and the food brought by Pang Tong was to supplement the cavalry.
When Pang Tong handed over the grain and grass he was carrying to the cavalry, Liu Chan said to Pang Tong: "Military division, Lu Meng led more than 1,000 people to flee to Jingling, and I will hand over the soldiers here to you, and I will now lead the troops to chase Lu Meng." ”
Pang Tong nodded and advised, "The prince must be careful." ”

On the other side, Lu Meng led his troops out of Huarong Dao and galloped in the direction of Jingling.
Halfway through, the war horse under his crotch suddenly tilted his front hooves, fell to his knees, and lifted Lu Meng down.
The horse fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Lu Meng stood up, looked at the war horse on the ground, his eyes were full of grief, this is the mount that has followed him for seven years, just like his relatives.
A soldier from behind suddenly ran over and said to Lu Meng: "The general is not good, only more than 800 brothers rushed out with us." ”
"What?" Lu Meng was shocked when he heard this, and looked to the rear, only to see that there were only a few hundred people behind him, but the army of more than 30,000 was gone.
Lu Meng went all the way north after breaking out of the siege before, and he didn't pay attention to how many people followed him.
Only 800 people fought their way out of the encirclement?
Are the remaining 20,000 people left behind in Huarong Dao?
"What about General Dong and General Zhu?" Lu Meng asked loudly.
A soldier said: "General Dong was beheaded by that young general, and General Zhu Ran doesn't know if he is alive or dead!" ”
"Ahem!" When Lu Meng heard this, he only felt a sweetness in his throat, he quickly covered his mouth and swallowed the blood back.
"Oops......"
"Who has water, drink me to death!"
"I'm so hungry, I'm starving."
"It hurts me, I can't run."
Seeing that Lu Meng stopped, a group of soldiers sat on the ground and complained bitterly.
Seeing this, Lu Meng hurriedly took off the water bag from the horse, wanting to take water to quench the thirst of the soldiers, and picked up the water bag, Lu Meng only felt that the water bag was light and fluttering, and when he opened the lid and turned it upside down, there was no drop of water at all.
"General, can we still go back?"
"I don't want to die, I want to go home!"
The soldiers looked at Lu Meng with desperate expressions.
This place is already the border of Jiangxia, only thirty miles away from Jingling City, but the soldiers have no strength to march.
"Hey!" Lu Meng was grief-stricken in his heart, turned his head to look at the war horse lying on the ground resting, pulled out his sword fiercely, and stabbed the sword into the neck of the war horse, the war horse closed his eyes with a sad scream, and blood gushed out from the wound.
Lu Meng took the water bag, took a water bag full of horse blood, and handed it to the soldier: "There is no water, let's drink some of this first!" ”
"Give it to me!"
A soldier was really thirsty, and he didn't care whether he was evil or disgusting, so he stepped forward and grabbed the water bag and drank it.
"Leave me some!"
"Let me take a sip!"
Lu Meng shook his head, looked at the dead mount on the ground, silently squatted down, and peeled off the horse's skin with his sword.
Lu Meng folded the horse skin and said to the soldiers: "This horse has been with me for seven years, I treat it as a relative, we military generals, proud of the horse leather shroud, if I unfortunately die in battle, please use this horse skin to bury me!" ”
After Lu Meng finished speaking, he took the horse skin into his arms, squatted down again, divided the war horse, and cut it into pieces of bloody horse meat.
"It's too late to bake, hurry up and eat, let's continue our journey after eating!" Lu Meng nibbled on the bloody horse meat and said to the soldiers.
The soldiers were really hungry, they had eaten all the grass roots and tree bark, not to mention any raw meat, and they were chewing on horse meat one by one, embarrassed.
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly, there was a laughing voice on the road ahead: "Isn't this Jiangdong Governor Lu Meng?" How did you get raw meat here? I've got lamb jerky here, would you like to eat some? ”
Lu Meng's face changed greatly, and he quickly stood up, only to see that on the road ahead, Zhang Bao led two thousand cavalry to slowly urge the horses to go.
Zhang Bao urged him to step forward, looked at Lu Meng and said with a smile: "Lu Meng, you are already at the end of your rope, why don't you come down early?" ”
