The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 240 We Are the Last
The messengers around Wu Jialiang were also panicked. Now that their leader was dead, they didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Wu Jialiang's order came quickly. Before they collapsed and fled, they heard the order and woke up. They thought that their brother's brother was still their brother, so they should listen to him. They quickly sounded the horn and waved the flag.

A large group of defeated soldiers rushed towards Wu Jialiang.

Guan Sheng was also among them, running wildly towards Wu Jialiang.

Wu Jialiang turned around and ran, and the flag-bearing soldier also followed Wu Jialiang, and all the soldiers in the distance ran towards the flag.

The scene was quite funny.

How could Lu Yuantiao miss such an opportunity? He shouted, "Chase him! Don't let Wu Jialiang get away. If he returns to Jiaoshui, he'll be a formidable opponent again."

A large group of Tieli soldiers also rushed towards Wu Jialiang's flag.

Now, the flag bearer became the most handsome guy on the battlefield, and both the enemy and our side were chasing him.

The flag bearer was very panicked. I was just a thief, and I didn't have any "unyielding will" or "determination to sacrifice myself". When faced with such a situation, I didn't even think about it and just threw the flag away... I threw it away and ran faster.

But once the flag fell, the defeated army didn't know where to gather. Guan Sheng was still far away and had not returned to join them. If Li Kui's brothers had just been killed and Guan Sheng's brothers were killed right after, Wu Jialiang would have cried to death.

He gritted his teeth, raised the flag again, and ran with it himself.

He ran so fast that he could only hear cries and shouts behind him. Countless people were rushing towards him. People with insufficient willpower would not be able to hold the flag firmly, but Wu Jialiang gritted his teeth and held on to the flag, refusing to throw it away even if he died.

I didn't know how long I ran, but I heard a shout from the side. Guan Sheng finally caught up with me and shouted anxiously: "Brother Jialiang, I'm coming! You can throw away the flag now."

Wu Jialiang was overjoyed and planned to throw the flag.

At this moment, Yue Wenxuan next to him spoke: "Give me the flag, I'll take it."

Wu Jialiang: “?”

Yue Wenxuan: "There are already many people gathered around you. Even if you throw away the flag, these people who have gathered around you will still follow you. The Jin thieves are not stupid. After they lose sight of the flag, they will definitely chase after the crowds and will catch up with you soon."

Wu Jialiang: “!”

Yue Wenxuan: "If you want to escape now, the best way is for Bruce Lee and I to take the flag and run in another direction. You take the brothers who have caught up with us and run towards Gaomi County to preserve these anti-Jin forces."

When Wu Jialiang and Guan Sheng heard this, a strange expression immediately flashed across their faces: No way, you two are going to risk your lives to cover our retreat again?
Wu Jialiang: "No! This time it should be you and nephew Bruce Lee taking the brothers and running. I will carry the flag and run in the other direction to cover your escape."

Guan Sheng also said, "I'll be the last one this time."

Yue Wenxuan: "Let's not argue about this, okay? You two are no match for me and Bruce Lee in running away. If the two of us cover the rear, we'll definitely survive, but you two will die."

Wu Jialiang and Guan Sheng: "..."

I was humiliated, but I didn't get angry. Instead, I was very touched.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Yue Wenxuan said, "Look, there's a forest ahead. Once you enter, shout and lead your brothers east. Bruce Lee and I will carry the flag and head south. Remember this."

At this critical moment, it is not appropriate to nag, so Wu Jialiang had no choice but to nod and agree: "You two must return safely."

Yue Wenxuan: "Don't worry!"

Soon, the group ran into the woods.

As soon as they entered the forest, Wu Jialiang handed the flag to Yue Wenxuan, but he shouted to the Mizhou soldiers around him: "Follow me! Stop following the flag."

These people nodded in unison.

Wu Jialiang then bolted eastward, a large group of people following him as they vanished into the distance. Yue Wenxuan glanced at Bruce Lee and said with a smile, "Let's go! It's time to die again."

The two men raised a large flag, deliberately letting a portion of it protrude above the treetops so that it could be seen from a long distance, and then turned south.

The Mizhou soldiers, who had not yet caught up with Wu Jialiang, ran towards the direction of the flag.

The Tieli soldiers who were chasing from outside the forest also ran in the direction of the flag.

A large group of people ran wildly in the woods for half an hour...

A small river appeared ahead, and Yue Wenxuan and Bruce Lee could not escape.

The two men stopped with their backs to the stream, stuck their flags into the ground, and said to the group of Mizhou soldiers who had followed them, "Jump into the river, swim to the other side, and then go to Gaomi County. We will cover your rear to prevent you from being shot by the pursuers."

The Mizhou soldiers were deeply moved. Without saying anything, they jumped into the river and swam desperately to the other side.

They had only swam a few meters when the pursuers arrived.

Lu Yuantiao, Wu Shun, and a large group of Tieli soldiers, along with the Mizhou soldiers who had surrendered to Wu Shun, surrounded them in a fan-shaped formation...

Someone shouted: "There's someone in the river, shoot..."

As soon as he finished shouting, Yue Wenxuan picked up a stone and threw it at the man. With a bang, the guy fell to the ground.

The others roared and rushed over with weapons in hand.

Yue Wenxuan waved the flagpole, using it as a long staff, sweeping it left and right...

Bruce Lee next to him also took out his nunchakus: "Ada!"

A moment later, the two men were stabbed like sieves by spears... but the people in the river had already taken the opportunity to swim across the river.

Lu Yuantiao realized that he had been tricked and was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Chop these two people into pieces and throw them into the river to feed the fish."

Yue Wenxuan really had to thank him. Chopping the body into pieces and feeding it to the fish would just release the command power. If he had dried the body and preserved it as a specimen, he would have locked the command power of the two heroic units.

However, Wu Jialiang and Guan Sheng escaped in a panic and finally reached Gaomi County.

Qi Chongli opened the city gates to welcome the two men into the city, and then gathered the defeated troops, only to find that there were less than two thousand rebel troops following them.

Wu Jialiang said to Qi Chongli, "Mizhou City has been lost, and the Jin thieves will soon arrive. My Lord, please take the remaining people in the city and the defeated soldiers I have gathered back and retreat to Jiaoshui County immediately."

Qi Chongli: "Ah? I'm leaving with the troops? What about you?"

Wu Jialiang: "I'm going to stay here and wait for Brother Ip Man and my nephew Bruce Lee. I won't be able to rest easy until I see them escape."

Qi Chongli quickly led the last group of people in the county to evacuate...

Wu Jialiang and Guan Sheng waited and waited, but when they arrived, hundreds of soaking wet Mizhou soldiers appeared. When they saw Wu Jialiang, they cried, "Brother Ip Man and Brother Bruce Lee, who were guarding our rear, were stabbed to pieces by the Jin bandits with their spears. They even said they would chop their bodies into pieces and feed them to the fish."

Wu Jialiang and Guan Sheng were stunned when they heard this...

The last time they left Jinan, although they thought Ip Man and Bruce Lee were in great danger, they at least still had some hope in their hearts. But this time, when they heard the defeated soldiers say with certainty that they had seen the two men die with their own eyes and their bodies were chopped up and fed to the fish, they lost all hope.

The two burst into tears and almost fainted.

The Mizhou soldiers dragged the two men alive out of Gaomi County and rushed towards Jiaoshui County.
