Chapter 254: Lü Bu and Red Hare were seriously injured

Down the valley.

Sun Jian saw with his own eyes that Jin Mao was sending people to wipe out the archers on the top of the mountain.

And Xu Rong, who was right opposite, was about to run away.

A way out has been found!

A different emotion arose in Sun Jian's heart.

All of this must be his own fault. He deserves it. If Jinmao and he were friends for life and death, then there would be nothing to say. He could just go back and get scolded and let it go.

But they are not!

In addition, Sun Jian had already lost his base, Yuzhou, and would surely be beaten by the nobles if he returned without any troops.

Therefore, if you want to borrow troops from Jinmao, you must have a generous gift!
It is known that Jinmao has won every battle and has never lost, but this is the first time it suffered such a big defeat at the hands of Xu Rong.

If Xu Rong could be captured alive, this gift would definitely be great!
but!

Reason told Sun Jian that this was absolutely not feasible.

If Xu Rong was so stupid, he would not have lived to this day. As long as Sun Jian dared to break out of the circular formation, Xu Rong would dare to capture Sun Jian alive.

Even now, Xu Rong can capture Sun Jian alive, it just takes some time and some risk.

But Xu Rong was not a hot-headed brave general, but a wise general. He did not feel any pity when it was time to abandon people, just like those archers on the top of the mountain.

But some people are just hot-headed.

Relying on his Red Hare, Lu Bu abandoned his own men and rushed into the valley alone.

When they saw Xu Rong's troops withdrawing, they thought they had won a great victory, but they never saw Sun Jian's head or himself.

Upon asking, they found out that Sun Jian only had a few dozen men left, who were standing in a circle and struggling to survive.

Suddenly, an idea came to Lu Bu's mind.

However, Xu Rong's approval is still needed.

Xu Rong is not someone Duan Wei can compare to. This guy now holds the imperial seal and has the right to execute first and report later. Moreover, Lu Bu has also heard of Xu Rong's ruthlessness and does not dare to be presumptuous at all.

Soon, Lu Bu rushed to Xu Rong's carriage and bowed, saying, "General, I have a plan to capture Sun Jian alive!"

Xu Rong waved his hand and said, "To make a long story short, I'll give you a quarter of an hour and leave you 500 people."

"Success or not, when the time comes, we must retreat!"

Lu Bu clasped his fists and said, "That's enough!"

Afterwards, Xu Rong sent his deputy general to leave the remaining 500 men to Lu Bu, while he himself rushed out of the valley without stopping.

At first, Lu Bu didn't understand what Xu Rong was afraid of. It was not until he came to Sun Jian that he discovered the two terrifying teams above his head.

As luck would have it, Lu Bu witnessed Dian Wei's killing spree with his own eyes. Only then did he realize how risky it was.

But if you don't take the credit, you will be struck by lightning!

Lu Bu put aside all other thoughts, called his adjutant Xu Rong, gave him some instructions, and then rode his horse towards the circular formation.

The Red Hare understood the intention. When it was five meters away from the circle, it jumped high and stepped towards the shield again.

Lu Bu took advantage of the situation and used the Fang Tian Hua Ji as a hammer.

"Sun Jian, old dog!"

"Come out and die!"

Lu Bu's roar attracted Dian Wei's attention above the valley.

Perhaps it was the attraction between top generals, Dian Wei was deeply attracted to Lu Bu.

But the one who felt it most deeply was Sun Jian.

The originally unbreakable circular formation was forcibly broken into by Lu Bu and his horse.

All the soldiers who fell to the ground vomited blood and died on the spot, which shows how powerful this man and horse were.

What was even more terrifying was that Xu Rong's army, which had been left behind, rushed forward, breaking the circular formation and exposing Sun Jian and others to the enemy.

"Everyone, I'm afraid you can't escape this disaster today."

Sun Jian took off his red cap, wrapped it around his right hand holding the knife, pointed at the boulder with one hand, and shouted, "Break out!"

"I'll cut off the queen!"

Han Dang, Zhu Zhi, Zu Mao and others all shouted with tears in their eyes: "We live and die together!"

Sun Jian took a few steps forward, leaving only his back to the generals, and said, "This is an order!"

"Are my orders no longer effective?"

In the end, Han Dang and others obeyed Sun Jian's orders and broke out to the south with the remaining troops.

Lu Bu didn't even look at him. In his eyes, there was only Sun Jian.

"Ha ha!"

"Sun Jian! I respect you as a man!"

Lu Bu laughed wildly and said, "I will give you a decent death!"

After saying this, Lu Bu spurred his horse, and Red Hare took a few steps forward, raised its front hooves, and charged towards Sun Jian.

Sun Jian swung the ancient ingot knife in his right hand upwards, and chopped at the horse's hooves with the ring-handled knife in his left hand.

"Delusion!"

Lu Bu swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji and smashed the ring-handled sword with one blow, but was blocked by the ancient ingot sword.

Sun Jian's face turned grim, with an abnormal blush appearing on his face. The ancient ingot knife changed its move in mid-air and chopped at the Red Hare's horse's hoof again.

As soon as Lu Bu pulled the reins, the Red Hare used its hind legs to miraculously stand still in the air and avoid the knife.

Sun Jian took advantage of the situation and rolled on the ground.

Escape is impossible. No matter how fast you run, you can't outrun the Red Hare.

Therefore, Sun Jian rushed forward, aiming to attack the horse under Lu Bu's crotch.

But Lu Bu was not someone who could be easily dealt with. He swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji down like raindrops, just to force back the enemy.

Sun Jian risked his life, exchanging his injury for a horse, and ignored the attack of the Fang Tian Hua Ji.

In a flash, Lu Bu jumped off his horse and swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji with great force to split Mount Hua.

Sun Jian grinned and twisted half of his body away, using his ancient ingot knife to fight two people at once, slashing from bottom to top.

If you can’t run, don’t run!
Just risking your life!

Sun Jian has been in the industry for more than ten years. Has there been every time he didn't risk his life?
"kill!!"

"Drink!"

Two loud shouts sounded at the same time.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji smashed heavily on Sun Jian's waist, and the sound of the bone breaking was extremely harsh.

At the same time, the ancient ingot knife in Sun Jian's hand cut open the heart guard on Lu Bu's chest, and then cut open the flesh on Lu Bu's chest.

However, Sun Jian's target was not just Lu Bu after all, and the ancient ingot knife did not open the entire chest cavity, but continued to chop towards the head of the Red Hare.

"Herod"

Red Hare dodged the fatal blow, or it could be said that it did not completely dodge it, as blood was seen flowing from its left eye.

In pain, the Red Hare ran madly towards the outside of the pass. Lu Bu took advantage of the situation and hugged the horse's neck and climbed up, not caring about Sun Jian's life or death.

Because he was seriously injured, if he didn't receive timely bandage and treatment, he would definitely die here.

Now that Lu Bu had escaped, Xu Rong's troops had even less reason to stay here, and even the pursuit and blockade of Han Dang and others was relaxed a lot.

It can be seen that those terrible guys on the mountain are rushing down the mountain. If they stay any longer, these 500 soldiers will really be left behind.

While Han Dang and others breathed a sigh of relief, they remembered that their lord Sun Jian was still surrounded by enemy forces.

"Lord!"

Zu Mao didn't care what others thought and was the first to turn around and look for Sun Jian.

Speaking of Zu Mao, he had average abilities and martial arts skills, but his loyalty to Sun Jian made people awe-inspiring.

Han Dang was the second one to follow Zu Mao and fight back.

Zhu Zhi was more rational. He jumped over the boulder, asked Dong Xi for help, and followed the reinforcements.

The enemy had retreated. Zu Mao saw Sun Jian, whose mouth was full of blood, limp on the ground.

"Lord!"

Zu Mao ran towards Sun Jian, crying. When he helped Sun Jian up, he found that his waist was sunken and his upper and lower body seemed to be separated.

"Lord!!"

Zu Mao, Han Dang and the few remaining personal soldiers could not stop crying. Who could have imagined that the once mighty Sun Jian would fall to such a state.

Sun Jian opened and closed his mouth as if he was speaking, but as soon as he opened his mouth he vomited blood, so how could he say anything?

Although Lu Bu's attack failed to cut Sun Jian in two, all of Sun Jian's internal organs were shattered and his lumbar vertebrae were fractured. Even if he survived, he would be a disabled person.

In his last moments, Sun Jian seemed to have returned to his hometown, Fuchun County, Yangzhou.

With children around him and a happy family, he lived a happy life.

At his final moments of death, the memories of his entire life flashed through his mind again.

Thinking that he had left his entire family to Jinmao, Sun Jian closed his eyes and left with peace of mind.

After all, Jinmao is still a candidate that Sun Jian can trust. As long as his descendants do not get sick, it will be enough for the Sun family to be passed on prosperously.

Perhaps, this is the most complicated side of Sun Jian.

"Lord!!!"

The huge wailing woke up Zhu Zhi who had just arrived. With tears in his eyes, he walked slowly forward, wanting to see him for the last time.

However, he was stopped outside by the angry Han Dang, who asked, "Zhu Zhi! What have you been doing?!"

"I'll go find reinforcements." Zhu Zhi pointed behind him.

Han Dang looked in the direction and saw Dong Xian and his group who had just climbed up the boulder.

"Reinforcements?"

"Reinforcements!"

Han Dang laughed indignantly and said, "Since there are reinforcements, why don't you send them?"

"Why!!?"

Zhu Zhi advised: "Speak less, Lord Yi. We may still be colleagues in the future."

"Colleagues!?"

Han Dang pointed at Zhu Zhi with a shaking finger and said, "You ungrateful dog!"

"You have already found the next one before the master's body is cold, right?"

"say something!"

"what?"

Zhu Zhi did not refute. Han Dang was obviously out of control, but people should keep looking forward while they are alive.

The world is so big, if we don’t join Jinmao, will we join Dong Zhuo?
So what are all these wars about?
At this moment.

Wen Pin and Dian Wei led their men down the mountain respectively.

Wen Pin had obviously more prisoners, while Dian Wei had more bows and crossbows, but only a few prisoners.

The two men stood beside Dong Xian and watched coldly. They heard what Han Dang said.

Although Zhu Zhi can tolerate it, it doesn’t mean they can tolerate it.

It was only because Sun Jian had just died that they did not add fuel to the fire. Otherwise, the three of them would definitely let Han Dang and the others know that reinforcements could sometimes turn into enemy forces!
Han Dang and his men are not the only ones who have a lord, they also have one!
Even if we take a step back and say that everything originated from Sun Jian's arbitrary behavior, how could Han Dang have the nerve to blame Jin Mao for being disloyal?
Not taking action doesn't mean you can't speak.

Wen Pin was the first to retort: ​​"My Lord is kind and righteous, but not weak!"

"Han Dang!"

"If you dare to say something rude again, don't blame me for not recognizing anyone with the knife in my hand!"

But Han Dang was like a madman, biting everyone he saw.

"come!"

"Your knife is sharp, so is mine not sharp?"

"come!"

How could Wen Pin endure this any longer? He had to be cautious when going up the mountain because it was due to his lord's trust. But when going down the mountain he had to endure the barking of wild dogs. He had no chance of survival in the future.

However, in order to consider the impact, Wen Pin still ordered Dian Wei to take people to report to Jin Mao first.

"Wen Zhongye, it's not that I look down on you."

Dian Wei said jokingly, "Although this guy has a foul mouth, he is still quite capable. If I hadn't been there to help you, you would have fallen into the gutter."

Dong Xi agreed, "That's it, kid, you better be careful."

Wen Pin was like two different people when he was commanding and fighting. He said angrily, "Wait! I will take him down in three moves!"

However, unfortunately, Dian Wei's prediction came true. Wen Pin rushed down and fought with Han Dang for thirty rounds, showing his disadvantage.

Dian Wei couldn't bear it anymore, so he shot a short spear between the two men, breaking up this meaningless battle.

"It's getting late. Wen Zhongye must hurry back to report to the lord."

In order to hide his embarrassment, Wen Pin turned around in agreement.

But Han Dang did not let go so easily. He took out two stone bows from his body, aimed at Wen Pin's vest and was about to shoot.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhi was quick-eyed and quick-handed and missed the target, otherwise, no one here would have been able to leave here alive.

Even so, Dian Wei and Dong Xi were furious: "You rat! How dare you?"

Dian Wei, holding a short spear, jumped down from the boulder, and his personal guards followed him one after another like dumplings.

When Dong Xi saw Dian Wei taking action, he decided not to join in the fun.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhi quickly stopped in front of Dian Wei and said, "Captain Dian, if you have something to say, just talk it out. Why use force?"

Dian Wei pointed the tip of his halberd at Zhu Zhi's face and said murderously, "Get out of the way! Otherwise I'll kill you too!"

Zhu Zhi had no doubt about this. As the first guard beside Jin Mao, anyone with a discerning eye could see how favored Dian Wei was.

Killing a few people is nothing. Even if all the remaining troops of Sun Jian are slaughtered, Jin Mao will find ways to protect Dian Wei.

"Captain Dian, please listen to me!"

Zhu Zhi straightened his chest and said, "Now that my master is dead, the governor of Yangzhou is my lord. Even if Han Dang is guilty, it should be my lord who knows the crime himself!"

"If you kill him now, you will be disobeying the order of the lord!"

Dian Wei thought about it and it seemed to be true. His lord hated people or things that exceeded his authority the most. Suddenly, most of his murderous aura disappeared.

Han Dang was a tough guy. He stiffened his neck and said, "Kill me if you dare!"

"I'm standing here, waiting for you to kill me!"

"come!"

Zhu Zhi was afraid of being implicated, so he shouted first: "Come here! Tie up Han Dang, and everything will be decided by the lord!"

At this point, Han Dang began to curse at everyone, targeting Zhu Zhi: "You bastard who sells out his master for fame!"

"Zhu Zhi! You will die a horrible death!"

However, Han Dang was no match for the fierce and ferocious guards of the royal army. He was kicked over by Dian Wei and tied up.

Zhu Zhi was still worried, so he cut off a piece of cloth from his body and stuffed it into Han Dang's mouth.

This is not pleasant, with all kinds of odors mixed together, not much better than smelly socks.

Han Dang was already very emotional, and after being treated like this, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Dian Wei couldn't help but give Zhu Zhi a thumbs up: "You are quite insidious!"

Zhu Zhi was ashamed. If he was not in the same camp as Han Dang, he would not have gone to so much trouble and let Han Dang die.

Next, it’s the boring task of cleaning up the battlefield to relieve the stress.

The Imperial Guards had to go back and report to Jin Mao, so these tasks were handed over to Dong Xi, since he was destined to be a handyman.

The cavalry brought by Dong Xi were very happy about this.

I thought this was just a minor mission, but I never expected that I could get some free military merits.

why not?
