At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Soon, they successfully led a guard of more than a thousand people to protect Sun Quan from escaping, and left an army to guard the city.

Right now their goal is to rush to Shicheng quickly, join Sun Jing and Han Dang, and retreat westward before the Wei army breaks through the defense line.

Try your luck, if you are lucky, you may be able to transfer to the direction of Yuzhang County before the Wei army fully crosses the river, and find Sun Ben, the prefect of Yuzhang. Sun Ben still has a certain number of troops under his command. Advance, attack, retreat, and defend.

Sun Quan ran away in a panic all the way, and suddenly remembered something while running.

"My mother and family are in Wu County. We ran away. What will they do?"

Lu Fan hurriedly persuaded him: "The Wei army came from the east and cut off our way back. Wu County will surely fall. We have no other choice. Going back now is tantamount to dying. Is Mr. Wu going to do such a thing?"

Sun Quan was stunned on the spot, completely unsure how to answer such a question.

Lu Fan couldn't bear it anymore, he dragged Sun Quan and ran away without giving Sun Quan time to react.

His family members are also in Wu County, how can he not feel sad?

It's just helpless, they have nowhere to go, either escape or become prisoners.

It is better to be able to escape freely than to be Guo Zifeng's prisoner.

So Sun Quan burst into tears, and finally embarked on the journey of fleeing while crying.

Sun Quan, Lu Fan, and Ling Cao's fleeing troops fled quickly, and Zhang Liao's troops also came quickly.

Zhang Liao originally thought that there was still a fierce battle to be fought in Moling City, but he did not expect that it was not the case at all.

The gate of Moling City was wide open, and the city was in a mess.

When Sun Quan escaped, the news was not well protected, and the news leaked out quickly. Sun Quan didn't run for long, and there were many rumors in Moling City.

Regarding Sun Quan fleeing for his life, Moling could no longer defend himself, Zhou Yu died, Wu Guo was about to end, and so on.

Then there was a mutiny, and the leading officers took the lead in breaking down, and then killed each other, trying to rob property and then fled.

Moling City collapsed without causing any trouble to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao easily occupied Moling City, leaving some troops to stabilize the order in Moling City.

Then some captives were captured. In order to survive, the captives told the rumors they had heard. Zhang Liao synthesized several versions of the rumors and judged that Sun Quan had fled to the west. He was going to join Sun Jing and Huang Gai in the direction of Shicheng. .

So Zhang Liao made a decisive decision, and immediately continued to lead his army to the west to pursue Sun Quan, pursuing with the fastest speed.

Chapter 734 Three Their shameless smiles reflect the dawn of a new era

Sun Quan naturally did not expect that Moling City would be occupied by Zhang Liao so soon.

But in terms of escape, his speed was not slow, and the distance was not too far, so they arrived in Shicheng very quickly.

Fortunately, Sun Jing and Han Dang were struggling to support the Wei army's attack, and Sun Quan's arrival surprised them very much.

Then when they learned that Zhou Yu had died in battle, they were as shocked as five thunderbolts.

However, there is not enough time for them to continue to be shocked. The decision that must be made now is to abandon the front line, lead the troops to retreat to Wuhu, and call Huang Gai to retreat together.

What everyone has to do now is to give up defense and immediately retreat westward before the Wei army has fully crossed the river. Go to Yuzhang County to find Sun Ben, integrate the local troops, rely on Jingzhou, and advance and retreat.

The state of Wu, which lost Zhou Yu and was completely defeated, really has no power to fight the Wei army to the death.

If they could unite with Huangzu's Jiangxia navy and rely on Jingzhou, they might be able to keep Yuzhang County.

Relying on the Wu army alone is not enough. The morale of the army is chaotic, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and once the Wei army, which has more personnel than the Wu army, lands, Sun Quan will either escape into the deep mountains to become a mountain climber, or he will be defeated and arrested and become a prisoner.

Sun Jing remained silent, while Han Dang was very angry.

"Huang Zu is the chief culprit who killed the former lord! It's helpless not to seek revenge on him, but to rely on Jingzhou to survive, and to survive under the enemy's door, what a shame is that? Lu Fan! What are you thinking!"

Han Dang was the veteran general of the Sun Wu regime who followed Sun Jian to fight. In terms of military qualifications, Sun Jing can't compare with him, so he has always been very prestigious.

Right now, Han Dang was so angry about Lu Fan's thoughts that he almost drew his sword to face him.

"How can I?!"

Lu Fan was even more angry: "General Han, don't you know what the situation is now? The pursuers are behind, and the main force of the enemy army is in Jiangbei. If you think you are stronger than Gong Jin, you can defeat Zhang Liao and show us." ! If you win, how can we beg for mercy from Liu Biao!"

Han Dang's face was flushed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Lu Fan angrily, but in the end he couldn't say that he could defeat Zhang Liao.

If he could defeat Zhang Liao, Sun Ce would not have died in battle.

But in the current situation, how can he endure the insult to survive under the former enemy?

"Even if I die in Jiangdong, it will be an honor. I will never go to Yuzhang County, I would rather die than go!"

Han Dang gritted his teeth and insisted on his will: "If you want to go, you can go, I will stick to Shicheng to repay the kindness of the former Lord Jianba!"

Lu Fan and Ling Cao were dumbfounded, Sun Quan looked sad, and Sun Jing looked at Han Dang sadly.

"Yigong, why are you here?"

Sun Jing offered words of comfort: "The current situation has collapsed. I don't want to admit it, but I have to admit that we have lost, and the country of Wu is over. It is a blessing to be able to keep Yuzhang County. It is not impossible to retreat to Jingzhou! My lord, let’s go together, we can keep our useful body, and we can move forward, if we die here, there is really no hope!”

"A useful body?"

Han Dang looked miserable, and said with a wry smile: "If you can die in Jiangdong, you will be useful. If you are dying, you might as well die."

After finishing speaking, Han Dang knelt down in front of Sun Quan and said, "Duke Wu, the last general is willing to stay in Shicheng for Duke Wu to prevent the enemy from pursuing him. Before the general dies, he will never let a Wei soldier pursue Duke Wu!"

"General Han!"

Sun Quan was very sad: "Why bother?"

"Please Wu Gong complete!"

Han Dang knelt on the ground without raising his head, and insisted. Sun Quan had no choice but to cover his face and cry, and agreed to Han Dang's request.

The army concentrated on the front line to fight against the enemy, and there were not many soldiers in the city. Han Dang handed over two-thirds of his own troops to Sun Quan's command to protect Sun Quan. Then, he watched Sun Quan and his party leave Shicheng, and then ordered Shut the city to the death.

The front line is hopeless, and the pursuit is imminent. The only thing we can do right now is to close the city and defend to the death.

Han Dang was right, because the Wu army on the front line had already lost their fighting spirit. Under the fierce attack of the Wei army one after another, less than half an hour after Sun Quan left, the main force of the Forbidden Office broke through from the river without reinforcements. Line of defense, successfully landed.

Then Wei Jun set fire to Wu Jun's dock and wiped out Wu Jun's navy. Only less than [-] defeated soldiers escaped by chance. The rest were either killed or fell into the river to feed fish. A few sailors were captured.

Yu Jin and Guo Jia were overjoyed, and immediately ordered the whole army to land, and then they crossed the river by boat, destroyed all the military defense facilities set up by the Wu army along the coast, and went straight to Shicheng.

When they were not far from Shicheng, they met Zhang Liao's troops. Zhang Liao was storming Shicheng with his troops. Yu Jin and Guo Jia immediately joined Zhang Liao. The three met and talked about the war and their respective routes.

Judging that the state of Wu had actually perished, the three of them were very happy, so Yu Jin also put his army into the siege operation, and sent troops to sweep the surrounding area, turning Shicheng into an isolated city.

There are only more than 1000 defenders in the stone city. Facing the main force of the Wei army, which is close to 3 after joining forces, they are no opponents at all. They were quickly broken through the outer defense and entered the link of the ant-attached city.

Han Dang faced the enemy bravely, wielding his sword, and led Wu Jun and Wei Jun to start a fierce battle for the top of the city. He almost became a bloody man, and cut off three knives. , Fighting hard, very heroic.

Because of Han Dang's bravery, the Wu army did not retreat, and fought repeatedly with the Wei army, causing considerable damage to the Wei army.

However, the Wei army attacked the city from all directions, putting too much pressure on the Wu army. Soon, except for the wall guarded by Han Dang himself, the other three walls were all lost. Han Dang himself and the last hundred soldiers around him became the last Resistance.

At this time, it was only more than an hour before the start of the battle, but for Zhang Liao and others, it was already a very long time.

"I didn't expect it to be like this, and there are still people who are willing to stick to it. This Han Dang is really not easy."

Looking at the bloody battle at the top of the city, Zhang Liao was very moved.

"No matter how decadent it is, there are still warriors who are willing to fight. It's a pity that such warriors are our enemies."

Guo Jialue sighed a little: "The general situation of the world has become clear, and His Royal Highness King Wei will inevitably rule the world. Such a person is nothing more than a car with a mantis' arms. It will not be accepted by the new dynasty."

"Yeah, no matter what, such a person..."

Zhang Liao's face froze suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Guo Jia.

"What's the matter, why is Zhang Zhengnan looking at me like this?"

Guo Jia had an inexplicable smile on his face: "Did I say something wrong?"

"No...I..."

Zhang Liao was so shocked that he didn't know what to say for a while, but when he saw Yu Jin beside Guo Jia looking at him with the same expression, he suddenly realized something.

"Has this matter been decided?"

Zhang Liao lowered his throat and asked Guo Jia.

"whats the matter?"

"It's just...just now..."

"Oh, that matter, haha, it's not up to us to decide, only His Royal Highness King Wei can decide, we just need to follow orders and act."

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Why, Zhang Zhengnan disagrees?"

"how is this possible!"

Zhang Liao shook his head excitedly: "I...I mean, I think... I don't know what kind of position I can get in the new dynasty?"

Zhang Liao showed a very worldly smile at the right time.

Guo Jia appreciated such a smile, and Yu Jin was also very satisfied, so they also smiled.

Their shameless smiles reflect the dawn of a new era, and also reflect Han Dang's end.

Chapter 735 Four We are powerless!

Han Dang is dead after all.

Died in battle.

There is no other possibility, just like this, there is no accident.

For Guo Jia, Zhang Liao and others, this is just a praying mantis blocking the way, but for Han Dang himself, he may have fulfilled the last thought in his heart.

So before he died, when he was pierced by more than a dozen spears all over his body, and when his consciousness became more and more blurred, he seemed to see the two people who had been fighting all the time waving at him, or There are comrades in arms that he once missed very much.

They were all waving at him.

It is benevolent.

Shicheng County was soon breached. Many Wu troops in the city chose to resist, and then all those who resisted were killed. More people chose to surrender, and then told Wei Jun that Sun Quan ran towards Wuhu.

This is not a surprising thing, but Guo Jia feels that something is not quite right.

"Why do they go all the way west instead of south?"

Guo Jia muttered to himself, thinking about this question.

"Run west or south?"

Standing next to Guo Jia, Zhang Liao heard Guo Jia muttering to himself: "This is a problem. If they plan to continue fighting, run south, follow the south, and make it difficult for us to hunt down deeply. This is a road. Go west. Run, it's Yuzhang County, they...are they going to Jingzhou?"

!!!

Guo Jia immediately looked at Zhang Liao with wide-eyed eyes: "That's right! That's it! Maybe they plan to escape to Jingzhou to seek refuge when they are desperate!"

"what?"

Both Zhang Liao and Yu Jin looked at Guo Jia in surprise.

"Jingzhou? Feng Xiao, don't get me wrong. Sun Quan and Liu Biao have a feud against their father. If there is such a big enmity, it can be regarded as cooperation if they don't fight. How could they go to Jingzhou? No matter how you think about it, it's impossible. .”

Yu Jin shook his head: "Is it because you are in a panic?"

"Hard to say."

Zhang Liao's expression suddenly changed: "Before, didn't we get the information that Zhou Gongjin asked Liu Jingsheng for help, and Liu Jingsheng ordered Jiangxia prefect Huang Zu to send troops to help? Although we have never heard of Huang Zu sending troops, but in case... "

"It makes sense."

Yu Jin was a little surprised: "When it comes to life and death, I don't care about so many things. Being alive is the most important thing. So, is it really possible that they will flee directly from Yuzhang County to Jiangxia?"

"It's not that it's troublesome to let them escape to Jiangxia, but right now, His Royal Highness King Wei is not ready to start a war against Jingzhou. He will start a war against two enemies in one go. The pressure on Yuzhou and Xuzhou is too great to do this. .”

Guo Jia said: "If we can't deal with them in Jiangdong, if they escape to Jingzhou, then we can only catch Sun Zhongmou when we start a war against Jingzhou, but at that time, it may not be us who dominate the battlefield. Le Wenqian will not let go of such a good opportunity."

"That can't be cheap, Le Wenqian!"

Yu Jin was a little anxious: "This is our credit. To make such a credit and win Sun Quan, the Duke of Wu, is a great gift to the establishment of the new dynasty. The king must be overjoyed. How can this be given to Le Wenqian? Hurry up and chase after him." ! Never let Sun Zhongmou go!"

"Yes! Just do it!"
