Chen Gong led the way as he fought more and more valiantly, and very quickly, he charged forward a dozen or so steps, and was only a few feet away from the corner of the road. Right now, there were very few Xuzhou Army soldiers blocking his path, and they only needed to rush forward seven or eight more steps before they could completely break free of his encirclement.
Lv Bu, who was originally determined to die, regained his spirits and followed closely behind Chen Gong under the protection of a few guards. The soldiers who were charging towards him were all killed by his personal guards. Seeing that he was about to get away from the horse, Lv Bu busied himself with a glance, wanting to see if Zhang Liao had caught up. Unexpectedly, after a look, his face lost color, and he almost fell off his horse.
Lv Bu shouted anxiously: "Gong Tai, Wen Yuan has lost! Quickly go back and save him! "
Chen Gong turned around and looked, and called out helplessly: "Master, we don't even have the ability to rush back to save Wen Yuan! Do not disappoint the chance that Wen Yuan used his life to exchange for, quickly retreat! "
"No way!" Lv Bu roared, his eyes quickly turning blood-red. "I am as close to Wen Yuan as a brother, how can I watch him die in battle? Gong Tai, bring the team and I will go back to save Wen Yuan! " Without waiting for Chen Gong to speak, she pulled on her reins to order the red rabbit horse to turn around, and rushed towards Zhang Liao who was about ten steps away without a care for anything else.
Chen Gong sighed in exasperation, he looked around at the soldiers who were at a loss, and shouted: "What are you still standing there for, quickly follow me!" With that, he turned his horse and quickly followed Lv Bu.
The surrounding seven to eight hundred Bingzhou Army Warriors knew that rushing forward would only result in death, but not one of them dared to run away.
"Kill him!" Just then, a group of Xuzhou Army soldiers had already rushed to the front of Zhang Liao who had yet to stand up, and dropped seven to eight weapons at the same time.
Zhang Liao clenched his teeth, his two hands holding onto his long blade, he swept out in all directions, and in that instant, five to six people's legs were cut off by his blade near their knees, they laid in a pool of blood and screamed. The other people were shocked. Other than the two robust men who were not afraid of death, who continued to attack Zhang Liao, the rest quickly retreated.
Zhang Liao used all his strength to cut off the two hulks' legs, and then used the handle of his blade to support himself as he stood up shakily. Whoosh.
The surrounding Xuzhou Army soldiers looked at the wailing warriors on the ground and felt their legs turn cold, as if the ones lying on the ground were themselves. For a moment, no one dared to rush over.
Liu Bei was enraged, she waved her hand and screamed: "Kill him! Those who are timid will be killed without mercy! "
The Xuzhou Army soldiers around Zhang Liao had heard Liu Bei's stern orders, but they did not dare to step forward. In the end, thirty to forty Lance Soldier s came out from the crowd, and walked forward while holding their spears, oppressing them one step at a time.
Zhang Liao laughed miserably as he raised his head to look at his surroundings. He had lost almost all of his subordinates that followed behind him, and Lv Bu and Chen Gong were still fifty to sixty steps away. By the time they arrived, he would already be dead. Furthermore, even if they managed to kill him, they would not be able to bring him out of the encirclement!
In the face of death, Zhang Liao did not feel any fear, instead, he suddenly thought back to many years ago, when he, Lv Bu and Gao Shun were both grown up. After that, Lv Bu made many grave mistakes, and the Bingzhou Army was also in a mess, there was no place to stand at the most miserable of times. However, the three of them never left him, and it was so difficult for them to bring him all the way to this day, but they didn't expect that they would still be unable to escape their fate of being annihilated!
Swish! A pike suddenly stabbed over, piercing deeply into Zhang Liao's left shoulder.
The intense pain allowed Zhang Liao to quickly wake up from his trance. He used his blade to cut off the head of the enemy who had injured him, and then muttered: "No! I can die, but Feng Xian cannot! As long as he is still alive, we can definitely rebuild the Bingzhou Army! "
Just then, a few more pikes pierced through his chest, Zhang Liao bellowed, and ripped off the arrows on his left shoulder, then slashed down fiercely with both of his hands!
Ka-cha! * The few pikes that were thrusting over were simultaneously cut apart by the blade, but the two pikes that were approaching him from behind took the opportunity to pierce Zhang Liao's left side under the ribs and onto his back. He staggered two steps forward and the two pikes quickly separated from his body. Blood spurted out from the two tea cups that were as thick as their mouths.
"Feng Xian, leave quickly!" Zhang Liao used all his strength to shout at Lv Bu who was rushing over, raised his blade and took the initiative to rush towards the surrounding Long Spear Array.
Pfft! In that moment, over a dozen pikes pierced through Zhang Liao's body, he stopped in his tracks, and blood started to gush out of his mouth.
"Wen Yuan!" Seeing that, Lv Bu screamed, and his body fell down from the red rabbit horse, rolling twice before he fainted.
When Zhang Liao heard Lv Bu's shout, he suddenly thrusted with the long blade in his hand. A Xuzhou Army Warrior in front of him thought that Zhang Liao had absolutely no ability to retaliate, and was caught off guard by this blade, as it instantly pierced through his heart. He tightly clutched at his wound, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"Haha …" Zhang Liao let out a pitiful laugh, but before he could even utter the word "haha", his heart stopped beating completely. His eyes were still staring straight ahead, and unexpectedly, no one from the Xuzhou Army s around dared to go up to collect his head.
Chen Gong sighed, and said solemnly: "Quick, help Master get on his horse! "Hurry up and leave!"
Four to five of Lv Bu's janissaries restrained the grief in their hearts and supported Lv Bu up onto the red rabbit horse with their hands and legs. Then, they quickly tied him to the back of the horse with their belts and once again rushed forward. Just now, Chen Gong and the rest had only rushed back seven or eight steps, but Zhang Liao had already died on the spot. As a result, there were only a few enemies in front of them, and now, all of them were rushing forward bravely.
By the time Liu Bei reached in front of Zhang Liao's corpse, Chen Gong had already charged out of the encirclement with the remaining five to six hundred Bingzhou Army s and disappeared around the bend in the road. He angrily waved his hand, "Chase!"
The surrounding Xuzhou Army Soldiers stepped on the corpses on the ground and the mud red blood as they chased after him.
At this time, Yuan Shu also brought a large group of people and rushed over. He was extremely regretful in his heart, if he knew that Xuzhou Army was not able to stop Lv Bu, he should have rushed over to help earlier! He wanted to order his cavalry to follow him, but the road in front of him was full of corpses and Xuzhou Army soldiers, the cavalry could not pass through the crowd and could only shake his head and give up on this idea.
Liu Bei's face was extremely ugly as she coldly asked: "Gong Luxiong, what are you late for?"
Yuan Shu knew he was in the wrong, so he snorted and did not reply.
Liu Bei did not want to offend Yuan Shu too much, after all, both sides still had to go north to rescue Yuan Shao. Looking at Zhang Liao's corpse that was standing firmly, he sighed with emotion: "Zhang Wen Yuan is truly loyal and incomparably loyal! If he had not risked his life to stop it, Lv Bu would not have been able to escape! "
Yuan Shu nodded, and sighed in admiration: "This man is indeed a good man, but I hate that my subordinates do not have such loyal men!"
Liu Bei sighed: "Gong Luxiong is too modest, even though General Ji Ling and General Chen Lan had unluckily died in battle, Yan Xiang, Qiao Rui, Li Feng and the others are also loyal and unparalleled people, but it's my fault this time, I don't know how to explain it to my father when I return!"
Yuan Shu frowned, how could he not hear the thorns in Liu Bei's words, but he was indeed in the wrong this time, and just like Liu Bei, he did not want to fall out with the other party, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and did not say a word.
Liu Bei saw that Yuan Shu was silent, the anger in his heart had been slightly relieved, and he ordered the subordinates around him: "Zhang Wen Yuan is extremely loyal, you all cannot profane his corpse, keep it safe and sound, we will bury him later!"
Seven to eight Xuzhou Army Warriors walked forward and pulled out the pike on Zhang Liao's body and carefully laid the corpse aside.
Yuan Shu looked ahead, a large group of Xuzhou Army soldiers had already rounded the corner of the road, and asked solemnly: "Xuan Dexiong, what should we do next?"
Liu Bei said without hesitation: "I want to immediately send troops to the Xiao Pei, what does Gong Luxiong think?"
"So be it! What should Lv Bu do to escape? "How about this, I will leave a cavalry unit to chase and kill them all. We must finish off all of their defeated soldiers in one fell swoop!"
Liu Bei frowned, he initially wanted to disagree, after all, the Huainan Army was just watching from the sidelines, he did not want Yuan Shu to take advantage of the situation, but in the next moment, he thought that with a troop of cavalry chasing after him, the possibility of killing Lv Bu would increase greatly. He endured the displeasure and asked, "How many cavalrymen can Gong Luxiong choose?"
Yuan Shu said confidently: "I can see that there were less than a thousand fleeing Bingzhou Army soldiers, it would be enough for me to dispatch six hundred cavalrymen!"
nodded his head. Bingzhou Army was already the last of the strong crossbow.
Yuan Shu was afraid that Liu Bei would go back on his words, so he quickly turned his head and ordered, "Yuan Fu, bring the six hundred cavalrymen and kill Lv Bu together!"
Yuan Fu was overjoyed, he had clearly seen just now, Lv Bu had already fainted from his injuries, as long as he caught up to him he could easily take his head. The cavalry, no matter what, was faster than the Xuzhou Army s. "Yes, sir," he answered loudly, and ordered six hundred cavalrymen to chase after him.
"Sigh." Liu Bei looked at the corpses on the ground, shook his head and sighed, "You've hurt one thousand enemies and hurt eight hundred yourself! Bingzhou Army is completely finished, the number of casualties under my command is even more than in Bingzhou Army! Gong Luxiong, if Guan Yunchang has yet to take over the Xiao Pei, when the time comes, I will be relying on Hu Ben, your subordinate, to attack the city! "
Initially, Yuan Shu wanted to reject them immediately, but suddenly he thought that the possibility of Guan Yu seizing Xiao Pei was extremely high, and even if Guan Yu did not attack and take Xiao Pei, when the remnants of Bingzhou Army see the huge army of tens of thousands of people surrounding the city, they would probably run away without a fight, so they patted their chests and agreed.
Liu Bei's expression slightly relaxed, and he ordered his subordinates to quickly sweep the battlefield, and then head to Xiao Pei as soon as possible.
