Sun Ce held the reins of the horse, his body fluctuated with the war horse, and his mind fluctuated.

He understood Zhou Yu's meaning. It was fake to come to save Yuan Shu, and he took the opportunity to invite fame and gain trust from Yan Xiang, Yang Hong and others - especially Yuan Shu's two daughters - the key was the key. When Yuan Shu dies and Yuan Yao dies, he can use the "loyalty and courage" who rushed to assist Yuan Shu this time to welcome Yuan Shu's youngest daughter, inherit Yuan Shu's legacy, and occupy Nanyang.

This is also his always-conceived idea - in addition to Yuan Shu's daughter, it is also a good opportunity now. Although there are the resentful Nanyang powerful men and Xiliang soldiers who are eyeing each other, the sea is flowing, and only then can the heroic nature be revealed. This is the time when he shows his courage and talent. As long as he guards Nanyang, Nanyang is his and no one can take it away.

What's more, he has the support of the famous general and the father, and he actually has to deal with only Xu Rong. Xu Rong is a famous general, but he has the military gates to guard and the weapons created by Huang Chengyan and his daughter. Even if Xu Rong comes, he may not be able to do anything to him.

Very reasonable and perfect.

But he always felt uncomfortable. He couldn't tell any reason, but he was uncomfortable.

Shortly after leaving the camp, he saw two knights who fell behind. The knight said that Yuan Shu chased him very hard and almost ran wildly at all speed. Their mounts were less physically powerful and could not keep up, so he fell down. After hearing this news, Sun Ce felt even more uneasy. Yuan Shu had lost his mind and even forgot the most basic principles. He was also a Changshui Captain, and he was not unfamiliar with cavalry.

Cavalry is faster than infantry, but war horses cannot run at full speed for a long time, otherwise it will be easy to lose strength and may even die in severe cases. According to his pursuit method, it is useless even if he catches up with Cao Cao. Cao Cao is waiting for his leisure, and he will abuse him as much as he wants, and may even solve the problem with a charge.

Of course, it is more likely that he would die before he chased Cao Cao. If that were the case, he would be safe.

Sun Ce was uneasy. He ordered to speed up. Cao Cao set out in the middle of the night. According to the speed of the infantry, he should be between fifty and fifty miles ahead at this moment. If Cao Cao had planned to ambush Yuan Shu, it would be delayed. If he was determined to escape, he might go further, which made it difficult for him to calculate Cao Cao's position. He didn't even have time to send scouts, so he could only arrange more than ten cavalry in front of him to avoid sudden encounters.

Qin Mu took the initiative to take on this responsibility and led his troops to walk ahead, about a mile away from Sun Ce.

The more he walked forward, the more knights fell behind, and the more uneasy Sun Ce felt. He didn't know whether to speed up and try to rescue Yuan Shu, or to wait for Yuan Shu to die in battle before collecting the body according to the regular speed. If he did this, no one could blame him. After all, this was the most reasonable marching speed. If Yuan Shu did not call it a marching, it was called a death sentence.

——

Yuan Shu chased to the hillside and heard the screams of the knights beside him, then he noticed an ambush on the hillside on the left.

Cao Ren took the lead, while riding his horse, he pulled out his bow and shot out a whistling sound, aiming directly at Yuan Shu. The knights behind him pulled open arrows one after another, and a rain of arrows roared and rushed towards Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was suddenly attacked, but when he saw the big flag on the hillside and the five short figures under the big flag, he was furious. He pulled out the Seven-Star Sword from his waist and shouted sternly: "Short guy, I'm here, come and die." He turned his horse's head and rushed up the hillside.

The arrows were galloping in a row and shot in front of him in an instant. Two knights were caught in the arrow. Yuan Shu was the key target of care, and he was hit by more than a dozen arrows with his man and horse. He had fine armor to protect his body, which was not fatal, but the war horse could not bear it. He ran all the way here, and the war horse was exhausted and was hit by seven or eight arrows in an instant. His feet were chaotic and he had no strength to adjust his pace. He fell to the ground and threw Yuan Shu for more than a dozen steps away.

Yuan Shu fell to his nose and eyes, and his body was covered in mud. Even the sword was taken off, but he unexpectedly avoided the collision of the two knights. Cao Ren and others accelerated their charge from the hillside, and it was difficult for the war horses to adjust their direction. Seeing Yuan Shu just a few steps away, he could not reach it. He could only turn around and shoot a few arrows and continue to rush down the hillside.

Yuan Shu got up, picked up the long knife, ran to the hillside, pulled out a ribbon from his arms, passed through the knife ring, wrapped it around his right wrist, and tied a knot.

Cao Cao stood on the slope of the horse, watching Yuan Shu running closer and closer, with a fierce look on his face, shook his head. "It's really troublesome, how could it be you? I don't want to kill you, but you just rushed over and die." With a light finger on the horse whip in his hand, several knights responded and ran towards Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu ran while staring at the knights getting closer and closer. When the war horse was about to rush in front of him, he suddenly jumped out to the front of his left, and the long sword in his hand rose up.

The knight held the reins in one hand and held a knife in the other hand, and slashed the knife in the other hand.

The two swords intersected, and a crisp sound, the long sword in the knight's hand was broken into two pieces. The knight was shocked, but there was no time to change his moves. He watched the Qi Yao Knife slash towards him and cut off his arm with one knife. The knight was in pain, screamed and fell off the horse's back.

Yuan Shu roared and killed another person, but was hit by a war horse, fell to the ground and rolled down the hillside. Two knights trampled on horseback. Yuan Shu dodged left and right, in a very embarrassing manner, but still couldn't escape. He was stepped on his thigh by a war horse. With a "click", his thigh broke. Yuan Shu screamed in pain, waved a knife, chopped off a horse's hoof, and then cut off the fallen knight to death.

Several knights of personal guards rushed over, dragged Yuan Shu between several huge rocks, and then formed a circle in front of Yuan Shu.

More knights rushed over, shot with arrows, hit with horses, and chopped with knives.

In a blink of an eye, only two personal guards were left in front of Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu dragged his broken leg, gritted his teeth and stood up, waved the Seven-Star Sword, joined the battle circle, and cut down two people one after another with sharp swords. The corpses of people and horses were getting more and more blood flowing all over the ground. The knights were afraid that the horse would lose their hooves and dared not drive their horses to gallop again. They would dismount one after another, or attack with bows and arrows in the distance.

After two charges, Yuan Shu's personal guard knights suffered most of the losses, and only about thirty people escaped and rushed to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu swung his knife and said loudly, "Stop it withstand the reinforcements, and the reinforcements will arrive soon. Today, we must chop the short man and rescue my son."

"General, are there any reinforcements?" a knight of guards asked in a trembling voice.

Yuan Shu wiped the blood and sweat from his face, paused, and said loudly: "Of course, Sun Lang will arrive in a while. Why do you remember the last time? Sun Lang and Dian Wei killed Cao Cao and seriously injured his son."

The knights of the guards exchanged glances, miraculously calmed down, roaring loudly, encouraging themselves.

"Don't let down the general, and don't let down Sun Lang."

"Don't let down the general, and don't let down Sun Lang."

Cao Cao shook the reins, and the horse under his crotch took a relaxed step to come to Yuan Shu. Hearing the roars of Yuan Shu and others, Cao Cao's heart trembled, subconsciously looked up at the distance, and couldn't help but smack his lips and was filled with energy.

On the horizon in the distance, there was a faint ray of smoke and dust, and another cavalry came.
