These two thousand men could not stop Zhang Liao and his men at all.

In the end, these people could only watch Zhang Liao and his men leave.

When Zhou Yu and his men caught up, all they saw were corpses on the ground and less than a thousand soldiers guarding Sun Jian's camp.

Zhou Yu was so angry that he stuck the sword in his hand into the ground.

In this battle, the Jiaozhou army lost more than 20,000 people, and the camp was also destroyed by Zhang Liao. A full 70,000 people were unable to stop Zhang Liao's 500 people.

Looking at the battle damage report in his hand, Zhou Yu's eyes turned red.

This time they dispatched a total of 70,000 people, but after only a few days of fighting, they lost more than half of them. This was all the people Jiaozhou could mobilize.

Just as they were tidying up the camp, another piece of bad news came from Nanhai County.

Pang De and Zhang Ren broke through Lu Xun's defense and were about to occupy the entire Nanhai County.

When Zhou Yu learned of this, he immediately sought out and attacked Sun Jian.

"My lord, Lu Xu is about to lose. If we continue to fight, it won't be long before our retreat is blocked. It would be good if we could take Kuaiji County, but it is difficult to take Kuaiji County now. We only have 30,000 people. This..."

Sun Jian looked at the map and naturally knew what Zhou Yu meant, but he was unwilling to give up. He led 70,000 people to attack the city, but it had no effect at all. Zhang Liao killed more than 20,000 of them with only 500 men. This time, Jiaozhou was nailed to the pillar of shame.

"Retreat!"

Although he was unwilling, Sun Jian knew that there was no way he could continue to hold on and could only order a retreat.

At the same time, Wei Yan also received information from Zhang Liao and learned that there were not many people left on Sun Jian's side. He led the Taishan Tiger Bandits directly out of the city and pounced on Sun Jian's camp.

Sun Jian had already evacuated by this time, leaving behind only an empty camp.

Zhang Liao quickly reported the situation here to Gu Rubing.

Upon learning that Sun Jian had left, Gu Rubing knew that Sun Jian's target must be Nanhai County.

He then ordered Zhang Liao to bring the Iron Pagoda to provide rapid support, and ordered Wei Yan and Zhang He to reorganize Kuaiji County and then come to support Nanhai County.

Nanhai County, Longchuan County.

Lu Xun stood on the city wall, looking at Zhang Ren and Pang De who were pressing forward step by step, and felt a little worried.

Now he had less than 20,000 men at his disposal, while Zhang Ren and Pang De led an army of 50,000. Once the enemy attacked the city, he would definitely not be able to defend Longchuan. And this was the only way for Sun Jian to retreat.

No matter what, we must defend Longchuan City.

This was the last thought in Lu Xun’s mind.

However, Zhang Ren and Pang De disagreed with Lu Xun's idea. Their purpose was simple, which was to trap Sun Jian and his men in Yangzhou. In this way, they only needed to send people to block the Jiaozhou army and they would have enough time to defeat Sun Jian.

Soon, with only two of them around, Liu Jun began to attack the city.

The Jiaozhou army, which numbered less than 20,000, was not as strong as Liu's army in terms of combat effectiveness. In addition, their lack of numbers quickly led to a hole in their defense line. One side of the city wall was completely occupied by Liu's army, and the city gate was also opened.

A large number of Liu's troops rushed into the city.

Without the advantage of the city walls, Lu Xun knew that he would not be able to hold on, so he immediately drew his sword, ready to live and die with Longchuan City.

Zhang Ren and Pang De breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the city gate open and their men had already rushed in.

Under the command of Gu Rubing, the pocket formation had already taken shape, and the only thing missing was Longchuan City. As long as Longchuan City was taken, the pocket would be tightened and they would not have to face so much pressure.

Pang De and Zhang Ren, who were standing outside the city and preparing to rush into the city, suddenly saw that all the soldiers under their command who had entered the city had run out, looking at the city with terrified eyes and behaving in a very panic. The two were a little confused.

At this time, a deputy general ran out of the city and came in front of the two men.

"Generals, there are bugs in there. Bugs. Lots of bugs. They eat people!"

"insect?"

"Nonsense, they are just a bunch of bugs. You are all soldiers on the battlefield. You are not afraid of killing people, so how can you be afraid of a bunch of bugs?"

Zhang Renyi was about to slap the deputy general. After all, the return of this group of people meant that the plan had failed. He would definitely have to endure Gu Rubing's wrath when he returned. As a general, he was already having a hard time, so how could he let the deputy general who had failed in his mission have an easy time?

However, before Zhang Ren's palm reached the deputy general, he heard a series of dense noises, as if something was crawling across the ground.

Looking at the source of the sound, it was the city gate of Longchuan City.

When they saw the situation at the city gate, Zhang Ren and Pang De couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Hundreds of poisonous insects of various kinds were rushing out of the city gate and into the army formation.

The entire army was thrown into chaos in an instant, and the soldiers were frightened by the poisonous insects and retreated one after another.

At this moment, Zhang Ren finally reacted and immediately ordered a fire to be lit, using torches to drive away the poisonous insects.

This method did work to some extent, but it soon became useless because a group of people suddenly rushed out from the city.

And this group of people was none other than all the troops of Sun Jian led by Sun Quan.

As the special forces rushed out, all the torches were extinguished.

The torches went out, the poisonous insects rushed up again, and under the double attack of the special troops, Pang De and Zhang Ren had to withdraw.

Seeing the two men retreat, Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Meng Huo who was walking over.

"You Gu tribe finally know how to take action. If you don't take action, the entire Jiaozhou will belong to Liu Bei."

Meng Huo said nothing and just turned and left.

Seeing this, Miao Moqing quickly followed.

"Grandmaster, didn't you say at the beginning that you would ignore them? Why did you help Sun Jian?"

"We can't let Sun Jian die like this for now. Besides, this is Jiaozhou, the headquarters of our Gu tribe. If this place is gone, it will be troublesome for us in the future."

"All right!"

Zhang Ren and Pang De returned to the camp. They could admit that they had lost, but it was a bit frustrating that they lost in such an unclear way. They were completely defeated by a group of bugs.

"How do we explain this to the Lord?"

"How else can I explain? To be honest, the things Lu Xun used are indeed a bit weird."

After Zhang Ren and Pang De retreated, Lu Xun counted the troops under his command, and found that they totaled no more than 5,000 people, of which 3,000 were special troops. With such a force, they would not be able to hold out for the next day anyway.

The only way now is that Meng Huo and others can still help me.

But Lu Xun was soon disappointed, because Meng Huo and Miao Moqing had disappeared and he couldn't find them at all, which meant that he could only rely on himself tomorrow.

late at night.

Lu Xun couldn't sleep at all. He kept looking at the map in front of him, trying to find a way to solve the current dilemma.

Sun Quan came to Lu Xun's camp and saw that Lu Xun had not slept yet, so he walked forward.

"Are you still not asleep?"

"I can't sleep. I have no idea how to play tomorrow."

"Since we don't know how to defend the city, why don't we just not defend it and let them in directly?"

"Put it in?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Lu Xun looked at the map carefully, then a smile appeared on his lips.

After a night's rest, Pang De and Zhang Ren were fully prepared this time. They even prepared a bunch of torches, ready to face the poisonous insects at any time.

However, the two discovered that there was no sign of Lu Xun and his companions on the city wall, and the entire city wall was empty.

"Into the city."

Pang De waved his hand, and all the soldiers slowly entered the city.

Seeing all the soldiers entering the city, Pang De thought that Lu Xun and his men had already withdrawn. When he was about to take over the city wall and gate, an arrow suddenly shot out and a soldier was killed.

Before everyone could react, more arrows rained down, and Liu Jun screamed instantly. When these arrows rained down, they had no time to react at all, so naturally they were not prepared at all.

"Everyone, search carefully and catch the person who is hiding."

Soon, tens of thousands of people were divided into hundreds of teams and began searching the entire city.

However, such behavior fell right into Lu Xun's trap, and soon several teams of a hundred people were killed by the special troops under Lu Xun's command.

After receiving the report, Pound frowned slightly.

Even he felt it was a bit tricky this time.

Generally speaking, when forced to fight a street fight, it means that the frontal battlefield has already been lost, the opponent has already rushed in, and the remaining people are forced to hide in the alley, and those who rush in can only capture those who are hiding.

But someone like Lu Xun, who still had elite troops at his disposal and went straight into street fighting, was something that Pang De was unable to react to.

As more and more people from the separated teams died, Pang De could no longer sit still and began to lead people into the city to capture people.

But wherever Pang De appeared, the enemies in that place would completely disappear. No matter how hard he looked, he could not find any trace of them. At the same time, news of the team's destruction would come from another corner of the city.

Lu Xun was like playing hide-and-seek with Pang De. Relying on the Jiaozhou army's understanding of the layout of the city, he completely fooled Pang De and Zhang Ren.

Finally, Pang De couldn't stand it anymore, gave up guarding the city gate, and dispersed all his people.

This time, Lu Xun couldn't bear it anymore.

Nearly 40,000 people directly surrounded the entire city. No matter where they hid, they had no way to hide.

In the end, Lu Xun and Sun Quan decided to gather all the people at one city gate.

Looking at Lu Xun and Sun Quan gathered at the north gate, Pang De knew that he had already taken over here. As long as he could get rid of the thousands of people in front of him, the pocket would be closed.

However, just as Pang De and Zhang Ren launched their final attack, a loud noise came from outside.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Ren looked behind him and vaguely heard that some of the sounds behind him were actually screams.

"General, it's bad. There are 100,000 people outside and they are attacking the city. General Deng Ai in the rear has organized people to defend the city, but the enemy's attack is very fierce and General Deng Ai can't hold on any longer. Please go and support us as soon as possible."

"One hundred thousand reinforcements? Whose troops? Could it be Cao Cao's? Did Xu Rong lose?"

The two men discussed it and finally decided that Zhang Ren would go to provide support, while Pang De would lead 10,000 men to begin besieging the north gate, determined to drive Lu Xun and his men away.

Lu Xun looked at Pang De who was actually rushing towards him. He was standing at the north gate, which was in a very high position. Although he didn't know what had happened, he could hear the sounds of fighting and screams coming from other gates. This was a fact.

This means that someone is attacking the city and their reinforcements have arrived.

Thinking of the reinforcements, Lu Xun no longer hesitated and rushed towards Pang De with his elite troops.

In order to fight quickly, Pound activated all his special abilities as soon as the two sides met, and his attack power increased by 1700% in an instant.

In just one round, the sword in Lu Xun's hand was knocked away.

Lu Xun retreated quickly, watching Pang De rushing towards him without giving him any chance.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Xun directly took out a pill, which was given to him by Miao Moqing when he met Meng Huo and others, and asked him to keep it for the most critical moment.

And now, looking at Pound rushing over, this is the most critical moment.

After taking the pill, all of Lu Xun's potential was stimulated. Looking at the knife swung by Pang De, Pang De originally thought that with Lu Xun's strength, after this knife, Lu Xun would definitely be beheaded.

But he didn't expect that Lu Xun actually lay half of his body horizontally on the horse and the other half horizontally in the air, and in an extremely strange way, he avoided his fatal blow.

Then, as the mount moved, Lu Xun came to the place where the sword flew out and took the sword back.

With weapons in hand, Pang De did not dare to be careless, and the two began a tentative fight.

Swords are a disadvantageous weapon in cavalry battles or even on the frontal battlefield. After all, others are using either knives or guns, while swords are weak, lack attack power, and do not cause enough damage.

But with the help of the Gu clan's elixir, Lu Xun's way of using the sword actually changed.

The originally soft sword was like a poisonous snake at this moment, attacking Pang De's vitals at some unexpected angles.

For a moment, Pang De was a little annoyed by Lu Xun's entanglement.

In the end, Pang De chose to use his strongest attack again to completely eliminate Lu Xun.

However, just as Pang De was gathering his strength and preparing to take action, a strong wind suddenly appeared behind him.

Pound immediately turned around and swung his knife.

There was a crisp sound of "ding". (End of this chapter)
