The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 241 The intersection of fate

Wu Jialiang and Guan Sheng cried all the way, their eyes were swollen and their voices were hoarse.

They were so confused that they couldn't tell the directions. Fortunately, the Mizhou soldiers were still clear-headed and protected the two of them as they ran desperately towards the northeast. Soon, they caught up with the last group of Qi family servants and Gaomi County residents led by Qi Chongli.

The two sides joined together, totaling four thousand people.

There were also a large number of trucks in the team, transporting the last grain that the Gaomi County residents were rushing to harvest.

The timing of the Jin thieves' arrival was so infuriating, as they arrived right during the autumn harvest season. The people of Gaomi County were racing against time, rushing to harvest the crops as soon as they were ripe, and then loading them onto trucks and running away.

Qi Chongli saw the Mizhou soldiers catching up from behind, and knew that the Jin soldiers would soon catch up as well. He panicked and asked the Mizhou soldiers anxiously, "How far are the Jin thieves from you?"

A Mizhou soldier said, "Very close! We were almost unable to shake off the Jin soldiers. Fortunately, Brother Ip Man and Brother Bruce Lee took the flags and headed south, diverting the Jin soldiers. But it won't be long before they catch up again."

Qi Chongli was very anxious: "What should I do?"

He turned to look at the grain carts, which were not moving fast at all.

One of the rickshaw drivers was in such a hurry that he didn't see the road clearly. His wheel hit a rock, and with a loud crash, the rickshaw fell apart, sending the grain bags tumbling to the ground. A nearby servant from the Qi family rushed forward to help, each carrying a bag of grain and running after the team.

Qi Chongli quickly went to the crowd to find Wu Jialiang and said, "Inspector Wu, the Jin soldiers could catch up with us at any time. You need to come up with a plan. Maybe you can organize an ambush or something."

Wu Jialiang's eyes were swollen, and he looked dazed. "Brother Li Kui is dead, Brother Ip Man is dead, and nephew Bruce Lee is also dead... I came to Mizhou, but not only did I fail to save Brother Li Kui, but I also lost Brother Ip Man and nephew Bruce Lee... I am guilty."

Qi Chongli: “…”

He thought to himself that this was not good, this guy was ruined.

Turning to look at Guan Sheng next to him, he saw that Guan Sheng's eyes were swollen from crying and his whole body was numb.

Qi Chongli: "It seems that I am the only one who can make the arrangements."

He waved his hand and said, "Children of the Qi family, take up your weapons and guard the rear of the troops. You must ensure that all the grain carts enter Jiaoshui County. We cannot let the Jin bandits steal a single grain."

The Qi family disciples responded, but their voices were weak and empty!
Qi Chongli sighed inwardly: The Qi family members are not that reliable!
As the head of the Qi family, he was trying his best to resist the Jin Dynasty, but voices of "surrender" were also heard from several branches of the Qi family.

After all, most of the areas north of the Yangtze River had fallen. If the Qi family had followed the trend of the world and joined the Jin Kingdom earlier, they might have been able to ensure the survival of the family. However, stubborn resistance might lead to the demise of the Qi family.

Qi Chongli couldn't blame them, as it was human nature to think like that.

He could only shout, "Everyone run as fast as you can, run faster, Jiaoshui County is not far away."

"My Lord, the golden thief has appeared."

someone yelled.

Qi Chongli turned around and saw the flags of the Tieli people in the distance to the southwest. A large group of Tieli soldiers were holding the flags and chasing towards this side.

"We're fucked!"

"It's over!"

Many people cried out, including residents of Gaomi County, members of the Qi family, and some escaped soldiers from Mizhou.

Everyone's face showed despair...

At that moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly echoed from the northeast. A man in a black helmet and black armor, with a pair of cricket antennae on his head and a Fang Tian painted halberd in hand, rushed over at full speed, followed by a small group of black-helmeted and black-armored cavalrymen.

Qi Chongli exclaimed "Huh", feeling that this cricket general looked familiar. Although he had never seen his face, his dress and awe-inspiring demeanor were very similar to a great general he knew in history!
Lü Bu? Bingzhou Wolf Riders?
Qi Chongli rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he had seen it wrong.

But his eyes were not yet blurry due to old age. The guy in front of him who looked like Lu Bu and the strange cavalry behind him were really rushing towards them.

He was just like Gong Erniang when she first saw Guan Erye. What he thought in his heart was: This must be someone who deliberately dressed up as Lu Bu.

Lü Bu, with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, passed by Qi Chongli and the others and pounced on the Tieli soldiers who were chasing them.

Those Tieli soldiers were already scared half to death when they saw the "Cricket General" from afar.

The Jin soldiers had been beaten repeatedly by Lu Bu during their previous invasion of Jiaoshui County. Now, when they saw the cricket antennae, their legs trembled and their whole bodies became weak.

Lu Yuantiao was so frightened that he shouted: "Spear formation, spear formation, quickly form a spear formation."

Lu Bu roared, "A real man lives in heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for long?"

A small group of Bingzhou wolf riders behind him shouted at the same time: "Kill!"

Lu Yuantiao was so frightened that he was paralyzed: "Form a formation, form a formation, and retreat slowly."

Thousands of Tieli soldiers instantly gathered together, with spears raised, and slowly retreated like a giant hedgehog.

Although Lu Bu was brave, he would not charge directly into the spear array, as that would only kill his Red Hare. He reined in his horse at a distance from the spear array and said, "Humph! Rat!"

The deer jumped too far and was scolded, but he didn't dare to talk back and became a coward.

But Wu Shun, who had just surrendered to the Jin, was unaware of Lü Bu's strength. Seeing only a few dozen cavalrymen following him, he thought, "I've just surrendered to the Jin and haven't done anything yet. If I can kill an enemy general here, the Jin will definitely pay more attention to me. General Lu only has a few dozen men. I wonder what he's so afraid of."

Wu Shun roared, "You cricket, what are you pretending to be? Wait for me, Wu Shun, to fight you."

He led a large group of surrendered Mizhou soldiers and rushed towards Lu Bu.

Lu Yuantiao was about to call Wu Shun back, but then his mind suddenly turned and he thought to himself: If Wu Shun rushed forward, wouldn't that give me a chance to escape? I was worried that the crickets would keep staring at me and it would be difficult to run away. Now I can run.

Lu Yuan jumped and waved his hand: "Retreat!"

The Tieli soldiers around him immediately ran backwards, and Wu Shun rushed forward, forming a "cross of fate." Hell was forward, and heaven was backward.

In the blink of an eye, the Tieli soldiers and the Mizhou surrendered soldiers were divided into two groups.

Seeing someone actually charging towards him, Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahahaha!"

Wu Shun was only a few steps away from him, and Lu Bu's face was still facing the sky...

Wu Shun was overjoyed: "You cricket, you didn't even look at me? I'll kill you!"
He swung his spear and stabbed Lu Bu fiercely.

The next moment, Lu Bu suddenly jumped off the horse.

With a loud "pop," Wu Shun found his face gripped by Lu Bu's large hand. Then, a tremendous force emanated from that hand, forcing Wu Shun backward. With a loud "bang," Wu Shun's head hit the ground first, creating a small dent. A tremendous pressure spread in all directions...
