Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 305 Fierce Battle Along the River

Chapter 306 Fierce Battle Along the River

When Zhu Ran chased to the riverside, the sky was already dark!

It was more difficult than expected to prepare saddles and harnesses. Xia Houba burned all these things before leaving.

You can find some ropes and leather thongs for the harness, but the saddle can't be done in a short time.

In the end, Zhu Ran managed to scrape together 100 sets of saddles and harnesses, and chased him to the riverside with [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry.

Some of his subordinates have already persuaded him, saying that the thief should be taken care of by someone, and it would be dangerous to go after him rashly.

However, Zhu Ran led his troops to chase him to the riverside. It's not that he didn't know the danger, but he had no other way.

The loss of Sun Shangxiang also meant that the marriage between Sun and Liu fell through. As the chief officer of this escort mission, what kind of punishment might he receive?If he didn't even have the courage to pursue him at this time, Zhu Ran wouldn't have to go back.

Even if you can't catch the culprits, at least you have to find out their whereabouts, and you can explain to some extent, so that even if you are severely punished, you will have a chance to be reused in the future.

However, he greatly underestimated the enemy's strength. For this mission, Cao Chong spent a lot of money. All the school officials along the Yangtze River obeyed Xia Houba's deployment, and three hundred of the most elite Shence troops went south secretly with Ling Tong.

When Zhu Ran came to the riverside and saw a dozen or so large ships moored there, he was in despair: This is definitely not something he can take down with his own hands!
Xia Houba came to the deck and said loudly to Zhu Ran: "General Zhu! Why do you chase after me so hard! I wanted to let you live, but this time you came to die yourself!"

Xia Houba's voice fell silent, and there were shouts of killing from left and right. Hundreds of people came to attack Zhu Ran from the east and west directions!

Zhu Ran didn't panic, and responded to the battle calmly, commanding the soldiers to retreat while fighting.

"This Zhu Ran is calm, not flustered at all!" Xia Houba stood on the deck watching from a distance, and said to Ling Tong beside him.

"Hmph! He doesn't know our strength, and he will lose his composure soon!" Ling Tong said, looking at the battlefield in front of him.

"You've worked hard enough these days, this time you're here to support me and let me meet him, so that I can take some credit back with me so that I can do business with the young master."

After Ling Tong finished speaking, he got off the deck, led a hundred elites to jump off the boat, and went to kill Zhu Ran!
Ling Tong was right. As soon as the two armies fought, Zhu Ran immediately felt that something was wrong. The enemy's combat power was much higher than he estimated.

As Sun Quan's close minister, Zhu Ran brought all the elites of Sun Quan's direct line this time. Although there are only 300 people, there are no thousands of people who can easily move them.

So when he saw a hundred people on each side approaching him, he didn't take it seriously at all. He also has more than 100 people under him, and they are all the best of the best. He was afraid that you would fail!
Who knew that when the two armies fought against each other, Zhu Ran was astonished. The opponent's combat power was no worse than his own, and he also saw another fierce general who jumped off the boat and brought hundreds of people to kill him.

Seeing that he was about to be attacked from three sides, and the enemy's combat power was beyond expectation, Zhu Ran made a decisive decision: Withdraw!

Looking at the battlefield from afar on the deck, Xia Houba saw that Zhu Ran used cavalry to cover the retreat of the infantry, and his own casualties were increasing, but he couldn't stop it.

"Ah! It's a pity that the strong bow and crossbow can't be brought to Jiangnan, otherwise we wouldn't have to work so hard! Even if we win Zhu Ran this time, the young master probably won't be happy!" Xia Houba sighed.

He knew how rare these elite Shence troops were, and it would be heartbreaking to lose one Cao Chong.

Feng Yi didn't care, and stared straight at the thousand-mile tube in Xia Houba's hand: "General! Let me see it! I heard that the young master got the fairy treasure from the fairy..."

Chicken crowing, dog robbers and everyone else went to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. She was the only one on the boat, staring at the thousand-mile tube in Xiahouba's hand, almost drooling!
Without hesitation, Xia Houba handed the thousand-mile tube to her, and asked, "Why are you still holding this face?"

"Wow! I can really see so far!" Feng Yi didn't hear Xia Houba's question at all, and was completely immersed in the magic of the thousand-mile tube!
"Hey! Where's the cavalry? Where's our cavalry? Why can't I find it?"

Everyone came to the river on horseback, with dozens of war horses, but Feng Yi didn't see any of them on the battlefield, and all the cavalry under Zhu Ran's men galloped everywhere.

"Ambush at the back. I probably can't see it here. This time Ling Tong is determined to keep Zhu Ran behind, and ambushed the cavalry on the road of Zhu's retreat."

Xia Houba didn't know Zhu Ran well, but Ling Tong knew that he was capable and trusted by Sun Quan. He was likely to be the mainstay of Sun Quan's subordinates in the future, so he decided to take this opportunity to get rid of him.

Cao Chong also reminded Xiahouba that Zhu Ran should not be underestimated, so Xiahouba agreed with Ling Tong's decision and put everyone under his command.

"I see! I see!"

"Wow! That's amazing! Zhu Ran's infantry was scattered." Feng Yi shouted holding a thousand-mile barrel.

Xia Houba took the thousand-mile tube and saw that it was indeed the case: Zhu Ran let his cavalry detour on both sides to prevent his infantry from being pinched from both sides, and then retreated slowly in an orderly manner. As a result, Liu Tong led thirty cavalry directly from Charged from behind, the fully galloped cavalry rushed into the unsuspecting infantry group, that was a unilateral massacre!

On the way to retreat, he was attacked by cavalry, and Ling Tong led his troops to arrive behind him, and was flanked by ambushes on the left and right. Zhu Ran immediately fell into a desperate situation surrounded by four sides!
At this time, Zhu Ran had lost his previous composure. He already knew that he had fallen into a trap designed by the enemy, and this time he might fall here!
Zhu Ran understood now: "Even if I gather all the elites I brought from Qu'a this time, the enemy still has the ability to attack head-on!"

"Hateful! How could there be such an elite force in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River?" Zhu Ran roared unwillingly, his ambition was unfulfilled, is he going to die by this desolate riverside?
"General! The cavalry is still there! I will cover the general to break through!"

Seeing that the situation was extremely critical, the personal guards immediately summoned the remaining [-] cavalry, left aside the infantry, and rushed directly to the southeast.

Although there are hundreds of people on each side attacking, but facing twenty elite cavalry, they are really unstoppable!
At the cost of losing eight knights, Zhu Ran rushed out of the encirclement and fled all the way to the southeast!

"Ah! Run away by Zhu Ran!" Qianli Tong was taken away by Feng Yi again.

"He can't run away! Didn't you notice that one of the four of you is missing?"

"That's right! I saw Zhou Cheng and Wu Sheng on the battlefield. Where did Wang Jun go? For the rest of us, he is the one who cares most about this mission."

"It's been said that Ling Tong is determined to get rid of Zhu Ran, how can he let him run away easily? Give me the thousand-mile tube!"
