Chapter 230

Ma Zhou rode his horse and slammed into the wall of the enemy's scull. He swung his spear in his hand and stabbed one person over.

It's just that the enemy's spears and halberds are in a forest, and bows and crossbows are in groups. Ma Zhou's horse's chest and neck under his crotch are hit one after another. , hit the ground hard.

Fortunately, it is close to the Xiangshui River, the soil is soft, and there is a buckskin lining in the Mazhou pocket, finally avoiding the fate of the head blooming.

But this fall was really not light. When he got up in a daze, before he could figure out the direction, several sharp spears protruded from the wall one after another, attacking him head-on.

At a critical moment, Ma Zhou raised his eyebrows, stared wide-eyed, let out a roar like thunder, drew his knife and slashed left and right, breaking two spears in a row, but the third spear took the opportunity to stab his chest.

Fortunately, the armor on his body was very fine, after the spear pierced through the armor, it only pierced the flesh a little.

Ma Zhou was in pain, he held the spear shaft with his left hand, pulled it out, and pulled it hard. The enemy soldiers were unprepared for a moment, and he was directly pulled out of the wall by him. Waterfalls generally sprinkle.

At this time, on the left and right sides of Ma Zhou, the soldiers of Liu Jing's army were like turbulent waves crashing on the shore, continuously hitting the Jingzhou army's circular formation wall.

Under this kind of relentless offensive, the Jingzhou army's wall was uneven, but it seemed to be full of resilience, and it just withstood the turbulent "torrent" of Liu Jingjun.

On the other hand, under the Jingzhou army's wall, in just a short time, Liu Jing's army suffered huge casualties, with weapons scattered and corpses lying on the pillow.

Ma Zhou went up against the difficulties, three times he charged against the wall, but was forced back by the enemy's spears three times, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

It was difficult for Ma Zhou to break through for a while, but Cai Sheng and Han Guang on the other side, relying on their bravery of "winning the three armies" soon after, led the crowd to push against the wall, stepped up to the front, and broke through in one fell swoop. Overwhelmed the Jingzhou Army's iron barrel array.

Cai Sheng and Han Guang charged forward, rushing back and forth among the enemy group, there is no one who can do it, the so-called tiger joins the sheep, it is just like this.

There is a saying in "Wu Zi": "In an army, there must be warriors of tigers and beasts. They can carry a tripod lightly, and their feet are light on soldiers and horses. If they hold the flag and take the generals, there must be capable men."

The fierce general is the example of the first army. The soldiers of Liu Jing's army followed the footsteps of Cai Sheng and Han Guang and swept away the Jingzhou army's position like a tide.

Once the flanks were broken, the circular formation looked like a punctured ball, and the Jingzhou soldiers in the front fell into great panic and were on the verge of collapse.

Seeing this, Liu Jing decisively assembled a cavalry force of more than a hundred men to attack, which eventually became the last straw that crushed the Jingzhou army.

"Boom... boom..."

With the sound of galloping horseshoes and passionate shouts of killing, hundreds of cavalry galloped in a wild goose-shaped formation, rushing towards the Jingzhou army's position with overwhelming momentum.

Before the cavalry approached, the Jingzhou soldiers collapsed, threw away their helmets and armor, and fled in a hurry, fleeing desperately to the bank of the Xiangshui River.

At this moment, Xi Zhen was already unable to stop the rout of the trilogy, her body was swayed left and right by the fleeing soldiers, and she almost fell down.

"Lieutenant..." Several guards held Xi Zhen's arm, and they all shouted with panic on their faces: "Go! Go! It's too late." They said while dragging Xi Zhen.

Xi Zhen sighed. Most of the soldiers of Cai He's department had returned to the water safely, and he barely completed the task after the end, so he was surrounded by his personal guards and defeated soldiers and fled to the shore of Xiangshui.

Those who led the Baiqi were Liu Liang, Ma Zhou, and Qiang Hu Anu. The three of them rushed into the rout first, wielding their knives and slashing wantonly.

Especially A Pu, who is more than eight feet long, with unrivaled arm strength and sharp horse blade.And he is very proficient in riding and shooting, it can be said that he has never missed a shot, during the pursuit, he only killed officers, from Qu Chang down, seven or eight people died in his hands.

However, Cai Sheng and Han Guang's troops were closer to the shore. After driving the Jingzhou army's rout on the flanks down the Xiangshui River, they turned around and intercepted Xi Zhen and others.

There was an interception in the front, followed by chasing soldiers. Xi Zhen and others were almost in a desperate situation. In order to survive, the defeated soldiers fought hard with their last remaining courage and slammed into Cai Sheng and Han Guangbu.

However, even if they put all their eggs in one basket and tried their best, they could not shake Cai Sheng and Han Guang at all.Then they were trampled by Liu Jingjun's cavalry behind them.

Seeing that Buqu was about to be surrounded and annihilated by Liu Jing's army, Xi Zhen ran around, screaming with his sword, and gathered the remaining dozens of soldiers into a circular formation, barely gaining the chance to survive.

Cai He looked terrified, he couldn't stop looking at the south bank and the southwest direction, and persuaded Cai Mao: "Brother Cong, Captain Xi is in a tight siege. Given the current situation, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than good...it's better..."

"In full view, you asked me to abandon Captain Xi?" Cai Mao glared at Cai He and said.

Xi Zhen is not an insignificant person, he is a direct descendant of the Xi family in Xiangyang. If Cai Mao abandons Xi Zhen in public today and returns to Xiangyang in the future, he will definitely be criticized and criticized by the Xi family.

Although Cai Mao is not afraid of the Xi family, the marriages between the major families in Xiangyang can be said to affect the whole body.

Cai He argued red-faced: "The situation is like this, what can we do? Even if Brother Cong sends all his troops now, it will be difficult to rescue Captain Xi. Besides, if we continue to stay here, the entire army will be in danger of being wiped out. How can we Brother Cong is the commander-in-chief of an army, so he has to watch out for taking risks to save one person."

"..." Cai Mao fell silent.

"Enemy ship...enemy ship..." Jingzhou navy officers and men suddenly shouted in horror.

I saw the winding waterway in the southwest direction, turning out a large number of warships and fighting ships, the boats and boats are connected, and the sails and flags are like clouds, covering the river.

"Brother Cong..." Cai He said anxiously.

Cai Mao's face was red, and he almost gritted his teeth before uttering the word "withdraw".

When Cai Mao gave the order to retreat, the officers and men of the Jingzhou army couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and immediately turned the bow of the boat, rowed the oars, and ran for their lives.

But Liu Jingjun and Jing Man on both sides of the Xiangshui River obviously didn't want them to escape easily, and the arrows covered the sky and covered the earth for a while, falling like rain.

Fortunately, the Jingzhou army retreated downstream, and it didn't take long for them to escape from Liu Jing's attack range and join the rear army.

It wasn't until this time that Cai Mao learned about the situation of the rear army. They were attacked by enemy fireboats just now, and more than ten large ships were burned. negligible.

Cai Mao felt at ease, but when he caught sight of Liu Jing's fleet chasing after him, he immediately felt furious. Didn't the opponent even understand the principle in "The Art of War": "Don't hide when you return to the teacher"?Why is the persecution so severe?

Anger turned into anger, but Cai Mao didn't have the courage to turn around and fight again, so he could only flee north in desperation.
