Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 344 The Battle of Jingzhou ([-])
The sky lightened slightly.

Although the eastern sun has not yet appeared, it is already emitting light.

"Drive~~!"

Step, step, step.
There was a sound of rapid hoofbeats.

Then there was a team of more than [-] riders, rushing towards Jingshan, and the goal was Jingshan.

"Woo~~!"

These twenty or so riders came to the foot of Jingshan Mountain and pulled back their horses one after another.

Today's Jingshan is also very quiet. After all, there are high mountains and dense forests here. Except for some woodcutters or hunters, they usually come here, and the rest rarely set foot here.

However, although it was quiet, the surrounding area was very messy, with all kinds of traces, and in some places all the weeds were broken and fallen down.

"General!" said one of the twenty or so soldiers.

This group of people was covered in blood all over their bodies, but they had turned black due to the air drying, and there were even bloodstains on the hair of the war horses under their crotches.

The obvious ones are the soldiers who have retreated after undergoing fierce battles.

The thick blood, even if it had dried, could smell the strong fishy smell from three meters away.

It was Zhao Yun and others who rescued Kuai Yue and others from Changbanpo, and then rushed here overnight.

After a fierce battle, they rushed on the road without stopping all night.

Zhao Yun and the others also looked a little tired, even their faces that were about to be covered by blood stains couldn't hide their tiredness.

"Go up the mountain!" Zhao Yun said with a wave of the spear in his hand.

Even if he was a little tired, now was not the time to rest, he hadn't forgotten his purpose, not to mention, after a night passed, no one knew what the result would be.

In addition to the traces here, they can only go up the mountain to search.

"promise!"

Everyone did not refute.

Zhao Yun led 20 people and rode slowly up the mountain, but they couldn't gallop on the mountain.

all the way.

They also moved forward cautiously. The traces at the foot of the mountain also showed the existence of a large number of enemy troops. Because the traces were too messy, it was unclear whether they were still on the mountain or had already left.

What's more is the final result, which is what Zhao Yun cares most about.

As it gets deeper and deeper.

Hope the worst doesn't happen!Zhao Yun secretly said.

On the way to Jingshan.

He also met some scattered soldiers, and learned from them that after Ma Liang and the others fled, the last place they stayed - Jingshan.

Now it seems that things are not so good.

Otherwise, Jingshan would not be so quiet, and there are no guards at the foot of the mountain, it's just that he doesn't want to think in that direction, it's not a trivial matter.

He didn't know what would happen if Liu Qi found out.

Sudden.

"Who!" shouted a soldier.

Zhao Yun also recovered from his contemplation and looked at one place.

I see.

Not far away, more than a dozen soldiers stood up holding bows and arrows, and the fully drawn bows were aimed at their group.

And although the armor on those soldiers was a bit tattered, they could still be recognized at a glance as the armor of the Jingzhou Army.

"I am Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, who are you leading?" Zhao Yun asked as he rode out.

I was also a little happy in my heart. After all, I met my own soldiers and horses, which meant that the situation was not that bad.

"General Zhao?"

The dozen or so soldiers who were holding bows and arrows to Zhao Yun's party, when they heard Zhao Yun's question, they also reacted, looked at each other, and put down their bows and arrows.

It was obvious that Zhao Yun's identity was also confirmed. He didn't recognize him before, but that was because there were too many bloodstains on Zhao Yun and others, which almost covered up their original appearance, and the armor on their bodies also changed color due to the dried blood.

"We are the personal guards of General Chen to Chen!" A leader stood up and said.

Identity confirmed.

Zhao Yun couldn't help it either, and asked anxiously, "Are the mistress and the others safe?"

"Here, I invite the general to follow me!" the leading soldier said hesitantly.

Look at the expressions of the leading soldiers.

Zhao Yun didn't know what must have happened, so with a wave of his hand, he let the dozen or so soldiers lead the way.

From time to time
Zhao Yun followed the dozen or so soldiers to a cave.

In front of the cave, there were only five or six soldiers guarding the cave. Adding these more than ten soldiers, there were not enough 20 people, which was even fewer than the people brought by Zhao Yun.

see this situation.

Zhao Yun still didn't understand that when the leading soldiers hesitated to speak, there were only a dozen people left to guard, so...!

thought here.

Zhao Yun and others also quickly got off their horses.

Come to the cave.

"Subordinate Zhao Yun is late, please forgive me!" Zhao Yun cupped his hands in the cave.

"General Zhao!"

I saw a figure walking out of the cave, eyes were still red, obviously crying, it was Liu Qi's younger sister, Liu Xin.

Meet Liu Xin.

Zhao Yun was also overjoyed, and then he became shocked. There was only Liu Xin here, so Cai Yan, he didn't want to think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it.

He rushed on the road non-stop overnight, but he was still late.

When down the mountain.

Seeing that there was no Yuan Jun, and there was no sound in Jingshan, he could think of this, but he didn't think much about it, and there was still hope in his heart.

I hope Cai Yan and others are not found.

Just a self-defeating idea.

immediately.

Zhao Yun also saw Chen Dao who was pale and still in a coma.

Also learned all the situation from the mouth of the leading soldiers.

It turned out that last night, after Liu Xin fell asleep, in order to protect Liu Xin and Chen Dao, Cai Yan and Ma Liang led the rest of the soldiers to evacuate to a place, which caused a commotion and led Yuan Jun over.

More than a dozen people were left alone to guard this place, and when it was safe, they evacuated from this place.

Although Cai Yan and Ma Liang led Yuan Jun away, they did not dare to act rashly and stayed here all night.

Until dawn.

They only sent out more than a dozen people to check it out.

In the end, I met Zhao Yun and his party, and Liu Xin didn't know everything until she woke up.

After listening to the explanation of the leader.

Zhao Yun also frowned.

Even if the leading soldier didn't say it directly, he could still guess that the biggest possibility is that Cai Yan and others were captured by Yuan Jun, and there was almost no possibility of escape.

Glancing around.

Liu Xin, who was crying and red-eyed, Chen Dao, who was seriously injured and comatose in urgent need of medical treatment, and the eyes of all the soldiers waiting for orders.

"Go back to Jiangling first, then make plans!" Zhao Yun said.

He has nothing to do now, he has already fallen into the hands of the enemy, and it is very likely that he has already returned to Jingzhou City. With less than 50 of them, attacking Jingzhou City is wishful thinking.

Moreover, it is impossible to abandon Liu Xin, and Chen Dao, who is in urgent need of treatment, can only go back to Jiangling and wait until Wenpin brings the army back.

At last.

A group of people also left Jingshan and headed for Jiangling.

I hope Yuan Jun will not do anything, otherwise...!On the way, Zhao Yun thought to himself, he also feels a very headache now, not only Ma Liang was arrested, but also Cai Yan, this is the most important thing.

Even if Jingzhou City and Xinye fell into the enemy's hands, he didn't have such a headache.
