Li Jin's plan to lure the enemy was not done, and he was worried about the safety of his father and brother. His thoughts were negligent for a moment. Dong Xi seized the opportunity and grabbed it. With a slight difference, he lost a thousand miles. Dong Xi followed him closely, and was always one step away from him. Not only were the crossbowmen afraid of hurting him by accident and dared not shoot, but the formation was also broken by Dong Xi's subordinates with lightning speed.

Li Jin shouted repeatedly, commanding his subordinates to counterattack and block Dong Xi's attack. His command was fine, but Dong Xi bit him very tightly and did not give him the opportunity to dispatch troops. His subordinates could not stop Dong Xi and others. These Rangers' division, who were very skilled in martial arts and had always rarely seen opponents, met a real opponent. Faced with Dong Xi, who was also powerful in martial arts, and Sanbai well-trained and well-armed troops, their cooperation was pale. Although they were desperate and fought for each other, they were still at a disadvantage and were chopped down several people in a blink of an eye.

The gap between the Li family's army and the Jiangdong army was even bigger, and they fell into a passive position as soon as they fought.

Li Jin felt like he was unable to do so. He believed what Dong Xi said just now. Fortunately, they did not catch up with Sun Ce, otherwise they would definitely not be Sun Ce's opponents. It is said that the infantry and cavalry of Sun Ce's personal guards were stronger. Li Jin's heart suddenly skipped a beat. It was bad, Yuan Tan was frustrated. This was not the case, right? In terms of close combat, Sun Ce was a real master. The Yicong infantry and cavalry around him were much stronger than Dong Xi.

The more Li Jin thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Dong Xi kept staring at Li Jin. Seeing that he looked uneasy, he became even more excited. He became more and more courageous in the battle, and he kept chasing him.

Three hundred generals roared in unison and advanced like a wall.

Two thousand Jiangdong soldiers were surrounded by six or seven thousand people on three sides, but they were not afraid. As Dong Xi bravely advanced, his morale was even better than his opponent.

Zhu Ling was extremely anxious, and her palms were covered in cold sweat.

Sun Jian's offensive was too fierce and there was almost no intention of temptation. From the beginning, all the elite troops were out, and several groups launched fierce attacks at the same time. Zu Mao, on the front, personally took the sword into battle, and the camp gate of the front camp was shaking and soon could not be supported. The right-wing battlefield drums roared, and the shouts of killing were shocking, and the battle was even more intense. It was still uncertain whether Li Jin won or lost. If he could defeat Dong Xi, attack forward, and threaten Sun Jian's left wing, the war still had a glimmer of hope.

But the situation didn't look good. Dong Xi's battle flag was constantly moving westward. It seemed that Li Jin was not only unable to defeat Dong Xi, but was suppressed by Dong Xi. The battle outside the east camp gate was in a stalemate. The people arranged by Li Jin were unable to quickly cut off Dong Xi's retreat and complete the encirclement, which also made the situation uneasy.

Zhu Ling looked to the left. He sent people to recall 10,000 troops to reinforce Yuan Tan, but Sun Jian also sent people to intercept the enemy. The number was not too large. Judging from the flag, there were only two battalions of Lu Su and Huang Gai, with less than 5,000 people. Even so, this posed a great threat to him. The 10,000 people were mainly soldiers of Shanyang County. Last time in Dongzhang, Yuan Yi was defeated by Sun Jian and beheaded more than 3,000. These soldiers of Shanyang County were afraid of hearing Sun Jian's name.

Although there are many troops, the real available ones are very limited. Especially after Yuan Tan failed to siege Sun Ce with 15,000 people, he had to send reinforcements, and the troops were even more difficult. Yuan Tan was already defeated, so Is it meaningful to insist? Maybe the loss should be withdrawn is not too great. If you take the initiative to retreat to Rencheng, with the protection of the city wall, the loss will be much smaller.

Zhu Ling clenched his fists.

Sun Ce was in trouble.

Although he had a lot of people and had chased Yuan Tan like a stray dog, and killed the guards around Yuan Tan one by one, now Yuan Tan is left to escape, but after chasing him for dozens of miles, the distance not only did not shorten, but instead tended to grow bigger and bigger. It looked like he was only three or four hundred steps, but he couldn't catch up with Yuan Tan.

There is only one reason: Yuan Tan has a good horse. None of the mounts of Sun Ce and others can compare with Yuan Tan's mounts. There is a significant difference in speed and endurance. Even if there is a replacement for horses, it cannot make up for this gap.

Sun Ce and Ma Chao's previous mounts could compete with Yuan Tan's mounts, but they were all dead, under the powerful crossbow and spear of Yuan's army when they were rushing into the formation. They are now riding ordinary war horses, which are obviously not on the same level as Yuan Tan's Wuhuan horse, and it is not easy to persevere until now.

This made Sun Ce very angry. Last time he missed the opportunity to kill Xin Pi. Now he finally seized the opportunity to defeat Yuan Tan and left him the order. If he was allowed to escape, the significance of this battle would be greatly reduced. In terms of the current situation, they can win, but only defeat, and the number of beheadings will not be too many. It would be great to have 20,000 people in real life. At the same time, they have to pay a certain price. Not to mention killing 1,000 enemies, 800 damage to themselves, and five or six thousand casualties are inevitable. Yuan Tan's recovery ability is stronger than him, and the loss of 20,000 people will not hurt his muscles. The father and son have only this little family fortune, and it is difficult to supplement in a short period of time.

Sun Ce chased and settled the accounts all the way, and became more and more angry as he calculated. He held his breath and insisted on grabbing Yuan Tan. He stared at Yuan Tan in the distance, gritted his teeth, and chased him reluctantly.

"General, General!" Guo Wu's voice came from the front. Sun Ce looked up and saw Guo Wu standing in the middle of the road. His mount was lying on the ground, his limbs twitching, and his mouth was covered with white foam. He was obviously dead with exhaustion, so he hurriedly stopped his mount.

"Switch a horse and keep chasing."

"General, the wind is blowing, this rain will probably not be small." Guo Wu pointed at the sky and said loudly: "I'll take a few people to chase you, you can go back first. The terrain here is too low. If it rains heavily, it may cause flooding at any time."

Sun Ce looked up and found that the sky was getting darker before he knew it. The originally clear sky was rolling dark clouds, and the wind became tighter and tighter, making flags rush, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere of heavy rain. He looked at the distance again, Yuan Tan's lonely figure appeared and could disappear at any time.

Sun Ce hesitated a little. He continued to chase him. It is hard to say whether he could catch up with Yuan Tan. Once he accidentally entered the swamp, it would be too dangerous.

Is it because I was too unlucky, or is Yuan Tan’s fate so that even God helped him?

"General, Yuan Tan is over." Ma Chao suddenly pointed to the front and said loudly.

Sun Ceyun had enough eyesight, but still couldn't see anything clearly, Yuan Tan had disappeared. "Take it serious?"

"It's true." Ma Chao glanced at Sun Ce, and saw that Sun Ce's eyes were puzzled, and he was stunned. Then he said, "General, I can see it very clearly. If you don't believe it, you will know it after you take a look."

Sun Ce believed in Ma Chao's statement. Ma Chao's archery technique is very good, and this guy doesn't like reading, so myopia does not exist for him. Although he doesn't study much, it is also true that he is not as good as Ma Chao, Taishi Ci and others.
