Northern Prefecture Rivers and Mountains

Chapter 185 Leaving

The wind grew stronger and stronger, and after a few drops of rain, the dark clouds actually dispersed.

The chaotic army ran in front, and Liu Yu followed behind.

It was like a tiger chasing a flock of sheep.

The enemy scouts who arrived drew their bows and aimed at Liu Yu, but when they saw Liu Yu's eyes, they all felt an inexplicable palpitation, their horses neighed incessantly, and they kept retreating.

Some scouts even fell from their horses.

Some people were not convinced and turned around to fight again, but were hit in the face by a hatchet, and the rest were defeated.

"Could it be that the Overlord has been resurrected?" The leaders of the rebel army naturally thought of the Overlord who lived five or six hundred years ago.

The Overlord has always been a legend deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Jiangdong.

Sun Jian was known as the Fierce Tiger of Jiangdong, and when Sun Ce swept across the six counties of Jiangdong, he was called the "Little Overlord".

In the Battle of Gaixia, Overlord Xiang Yu frightened away thousands of soldiers with just a glance, and led 28 cavalrymen to attack 5,000 Han troops, killing more than a hundred of them with his own hands. After defeating the Han army, he only lost two cavalrymen.

Every five hundred years, a king will rise, and during that period, there will be a famous person. This has been going on for more than seven hundred years since the Chu-Han contention for hegemony.

The Five Barbarians invaded China and China declined. During that time, countless people were servile and fawning. However, China has remained strong for thousands of years. Whenever the country is in danger and the land is sinking, there will always be a hero who emerges to turn the tide.

Coincidentally, Liu Yu and Xiang Yu both came from Pengcheng...

"Kill!" At this moment, Liu Yu had completely fallen into madness.

The hoe in my hand broke, so I picked up the hatchet on the ground. The hatchet was broken, so I snatched the long spear from the thief's hand...

Call——

Amidst the sounds of horse hooves, Liu Jingxuan led a Northern Army cavalry of more than 500 men, turning from Pingdi in the northeast, but was blocked by the river.

But after seeing one man chasing and killing thousands of people, Liu Jingxuan was stunned.

The cavalrymen around him were all stunned.

For a moment, I didn't know how to rush across the river to rescue, and just watched blankly.

"This, this is... Ji Nu?" Liu Jingxuan could hardly believe his eyes.

Such an outrageous thing hasn't happened since the Battle of Feishui. One person chased over a thousand people and hacked them, on foot...

His bravery surpassed that of his father Liu Laozhi.

But soon, a huge sense of pride inexplicably surged in my heart, the Liu family of Pengcheng!

"Who else could it be except Ji Nu?" Meng Longfu laughed loudly and rushed across the river with a few riders.

Liu Yu jumped on his horse and shouted to Liu Jingxuan behind him, "Take advantage of the situation and capture Wucheng!"

Liu Jingxuan trembled all over. Before he could give any order, the cavalry around him had already rushed into the river.

The defeated soldiers were still fleeing and had already reached Wucheng.

The defenders on the city were also stunned when they saw this. Lu Gui's face turned pale and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Just as he was about to order the soldiers to go out of the city to surround and kill this man, he heard the sound of horse hooves.

Smoke and dust covered the sky in the north. A cavalry group came galloping, with a flag with the word "Liu" fluttering in the wind.

"Liu Laozhi!"

"Liu Laozhi is here!"

There was a cry of surprise from the top of the city wall.

Looking at the more than a thousand soldiers below being chased and hacked by one person, the morale of the defenders immediately collapsed.

Some people have already opened the city gates and are fleeing through the east and south gates.

"Have Sun En's reinforcements arrived?" Lu Gui could only pin his hopes on the Tianshi Dao. The lips and teeth are interdependent, and Wujun is at the front. If it is defeated, Kuaiji will not be able to hold on for long.

After all, there are more than 300,000 people who need food and drink.

"The enemy arrived too suddenly, and the Tianshi Dao is still in Haiyan..."

"Where are Qiu Weng and Xu Yunzhi's reinforcements?"

When the rebellion started, it was promised that when one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid, but till now, not a single reinforcement has been seen.

"A Northern Army appeared in the west, and Qiu Weng was the first to ask Xu Yunzhi for help."

These words made the guards around him even more panicked. Lu Gui suddenly felt something was wrong. There was actually another Northern Army to the west. Now, only he and his family were standing in front of Liu Laozhi's elite Northern Army...

Wuxing County, Anji City.

"You let that person go?" Xie Yan's elegant face also turned gloomy.

"Yes!" Liu Daogui admitted it readily without making any excuses.

This kind of thing cannot be concealed at all in Anji City, a place the size of a palm.

Generals Liu Zun, Zhao Lunzhi, Gao Xun, and Zhou Zheng stood silently behind Liu Daogui. Thirty steps away, the soldiers of the expeditionary force had scorching eyes.

Liu Daogui is not only a soldier in the army, but also their breadwinner. If anything happens to him, their interests will be the most damaged.

Jiangdong is in chaos now. Let alone Xie Yan, a general of the guards, even if Sima Yuanxian were standing here, the soldiers would not give them face.

These chaos have made the Sima family and the noble families lose face and prestige.

The worst that could happen is another Su Jun Rebellion.

The death of Wang Gong is also a living example.

Of course, Liu Daogui was not willing to go this far, but if Xie Yan used this matter to make a fuss, that would be another matter.

"Liu Daogui, listen to my orders. Your troops will be the vanguard and will go straight to Kuaiji City. Only victory is allowed, defeat is not allowed." Xie Yan's expression suddenly relaxed. After all, he was a member of the Xie family and had experienced many ups and downs. He still had the necessary shrewdness.

"Leader!"

Liu Daogui bowed, knowing that the thief was planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and wanted to use the thief's knife to deal with him.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s his business how to issue military orders, but he has no say in how to fight.

Liu Daogui actually felt that it was a good thing to be away from him.

Out of sight, out of mind. Bandits and rebel armies are actually easier to deal with.

After receiving five days' worth of food and fodder, Liu Daogui led 2,500 soldiers from the conquering army to the southeast. They marched for an hour and rested for two hours, just to enjoy the scenery of Jiangdong.

Xie Yan's troops stayed in Anji City to rest.

"Report to the general, Qiu Weng is leading 5,000 bandits to rush towards our unit in the northeast." Only half a day later, a scout came to report.

It was obvious that they were being targeted by the enemy army.

Liu Daogui was delighted, "They think we are easy to bully."

"Five thousand troops fighting in the field with our army is courting death!" The soldiers were so angry that they had no place to vent.

Liu Huaishen said: "The enemy troops have left their nest, which is the perfect opportunity to defeat them. I am willing to lead 500 elite soldiers as the vanguard!"

"Can you still charge into battle?" Liu Zun looked doubtful.

Liu Huaishen was young, but he was serious. "No one in my Liu family is incapable of fighting in battle!"

An eagle sprang up from the mountains and forests, flew over the heads of the soldiers, circled twice, and flew to the southeast.

"Then let us brothers unite and defeat the bandit army!"

It just so happened that Liu Daogui also wanted to swallow up the Qiuwang tribe, achieve great achievements, and quell the rebellion as soon as possible.

"Brothers, work together to defeat the enemy army!"

Liu Huaishen led five hundred elite veteran soldiers in front, and Liu Daogui led the rest of the troops following behind.

In less than half a day, they encountered the enemy army.

But judging from the continuous flags, there are more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, at least 8,000 or 9,000.

Although most of them were ragged, there were also more than a thousand elite soldiers in neat formation, at least seven hundred armored soldiers, and they were equipped with bows and crossbows.

"What's going on?" Liu Daogui frowned.

The scouts hurried over to report, "Xu Yunzhi's bandits suddenly arrived to join us."

These powerful people are local tyrants who have the advantage of terrain, and the scouts are always one step behind them.

Liu Daogui looked towards the north, wondering what was happening in Wujun. Liu Yu was the vanguard and should have been fighting the enemy army at this time.
