Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 190
After Pan Zhang's case, Ma Zhong, who was not dealt with because he was able to stick to the bottom line and was transferred to the Guards instead, was already a gilded general. At this time, he returned to the courtyard from the outside.

"Lord, there are at least hundreds of rebels outside, and some are coming from the east of the village, and they all have war horses!" Ma Zhongji shouted.

"Hundreds?" Bai Tu didn't expect that he would encounter such a large group of rebel soldiers, and they were even rich enough to have war horses.

In fact, if Sun Ce or one of Sun Ce's generals were present, they should be able to recognize the two leaders of the rebellion. It was Chen Lan and Lei Bu who betrayed Yuan Shu when they were released to Sun Quan.

There are two other thieves, Mei Gan and Lei Xu, who were thrown into chaos after Yuan Shu left...

Lei Bu and Lei Xu were originally brothers from the same clan. After Chen Lan and Lei Bu fell into disgrace, they used the money extorted from the Sun family and Zhou family and their soldiers to cause chaos in Huainan. After Yuan Shu left, they became even more unscrupulous. expansion.

Mei Qian and Lei Xu were the generals who did not leave with Yuan Shu. Because of the relatives of the Lei brothers, the two sides joined forces and formed the largest wave of rebellion in Huainan.

Originally, because of Bai Tu's raid, the four of Lei Book had decided to leave Huainan and did not dare to stroke Bai Tu's tiger beard. However, the Yuan family's assassins had previously instigated them, making them mistakenly believe that the person passing by today was a noble son of a local prominent family. In addition, the recent Bai Tu's energy was all in Shouchun, so he had the courage to do something big before running away.

Unexpectedly... I accidentally hit the boss and directly pressed the white picture here, which became the trump card of Yuan's assassin!

"Where's the matter I entrusted you with?" Lu Lingqi asked.

"No, my lord has such a good reputation that they don't believe it at all." Ma Zhong said bitterly.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Bai Tu asked confused, but he didn't give Ma Zhong any other orders.

"This, this..." Ma Zhong hesitated.

Just now, Lu Lingqi quietly told him that when he went out to test, she would talk to the leader of the thieves about the conditions, such as... let them retreat, and then the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion could recruit them.

Anyway, it was Lu Lingqi who made the promise to them. Whether Bai Tu really recruited them or killed them all afterwards has nothing to do with Bai Tu!
As a cavalry general and a great sage in the world, Bai Tu must keep his word, and with his personality, he cannot do such a compromise with the bandit army, but... Lu Lingqi does not have such high requirements for herself.

However, Bai Tu has the reputation of "killing one person is like killing my father". How can Chen Lan and Lei Bu dare to believe Bai Tu's recruitment?
Seeing this, Bai Tu probably guessed something. He didn't want to ask any more questions and continued to give the order: "In that case, break out to the west! My personal guards are all warriors who are as strong as ten, and they are just thieves. Can we still be left here?" "

At this time, there are hundreds of people in the village, and there are still people coming from the east...

If Cheng Lian and Cao Xing's five hundred cavalry were here, even if there were twice as many of these rubbish, they would be defeated in a few charges. However, now... they can really bring some to Bai Tu's personal guards. threaten.

"My lord, General Cheng and General Cao should be back soon, why not stick to it..." Du Bo, a member of the Su Wei army, suggested.

The most junior official position in the Su Wei Army is Du Bo, and ordinary members also receive very good benefits.

"No, it doesn't matter whether this small earthen wall built by the farmers themselves exists or not, and we don't know how many rebels are rushing in from outside... break out immediately!" Bai Tu ordered.

The number of rebels ambushing in the village before is still limited, but no one knows how many are outside!

How long it will take for Cheng Lian and Cao Xing to come back is even more unknown.

After hearing the words, the guards immediately carried out Bai Tu's order. The two gilded warriors directly broke through the west wall, and then held up their big shields. The people behind them fired in succession, and from among the hundreds of people, Fight your way out!

There is a saying that is right, Bai Tu's guards... can be said to be one to ten, not to mention that the opponent is just a rebel army.

Moreover, Bai Tu had already passed the official seal in the first time, notifying the surrounding counties, and as soon as the soldiers and horses arrived, he would immediately make these rebellious troops look good-the official seal of the General Chariot and Cavalry is the same as the official seal of the state shepherd, which can not be passed Cheng Ji directly contacted the counties under her control.

It's a pity that Baitu's guards had no time to get their horses when they broke out of the siege, so they could only gallop with the basic power of their armor.

The basic power of the wood and stone armor is not weaker than that of the war horse in a short period of time, and it is more flexible, but its durability is very poor.

At the same speed, a group of personal guards protected Bai Tu and evacuated. Chen Lan, Lei Book and others were already jumping over the wall. Today, the situation has become bigger, and Bai Tu must be taken down to have any room for recovery...

In the end, they chased and escaped all the way to the vicinity of the Pihe River.

The Pihe River is originally a tributary of the Huaihe River and the most important river in Lu'an County. However, due to the drought, the water is now not strong and has not yet reached the waist.

You can wade through it, but... once you enter the water, the slow ones are the living targets, and the pursuers behind them are already approaching.

Bai Tu was also hesitant whether to fight or to cross the river by force.

Ma Zhong said at this time: "Lord! I will take half of the brothers to cut off the rear. Lord, let's cross the river!"

"My lord, please don't forget me and your family members. Only if your name is left in the Protector's Shrine will you be a good man."

"The world can be without me, but it can't be without the master..."

Other uncles also urged.

"No, there are only a few of us at this time. If we separate... we might as well fight!" Bai Tu said, pulling out the long sword from his waist that was just for decoration.

But at this moment, I saw several blasts of wind sound on a mound not far away, and at the same time, the brilliance of laser arrows flashed - just a flash, this man's arrows were very special, they should be battle armor It shoots out, but it is not as flamboyant as ordinary laser arrows, and it appears to be very concealed.

Then I saw the first few of the pursuers falling down in response, and... they all seemed to be human warriors!

At this time, the sky was already dark, but his arrow skills were still the same. There seemed to be only three or five of them, but they never missed a shot, which made the pursuers lose their momentum.

This also shows the weakness of the unruly soldiers. If it were the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, several corps commanders and chiefs would die without being disturbed at all.

In comparison, Baitu's guards are weaker in location and range. What's more... even if the opponent really comes into range, they can't "name" the human warriors among them so accurately.

The pursuers had to separate some of their troops and approach the mound.

"Which warrior is willing to help? Come back to the formation, and we will fight against the enemy together!" Bai Tu shouted loudly when he saw this.

However, facing Bai Tu's invitation, several more arrows were shot from the mound, hitting the front of Bai Tu's personal guard formation, and the three arrows were closer than the last. It seemed to be forcing... no, it was driving away!

When Bai Tu saw the arrow, he already confirmed that the person coming and the person who warned the village before should be the same group.

Although I shot loud arrows before, the overall style is very similar, and the materials of the arrow shaft and arrow feathers are also the same...

"Lord, the person helping us should want to... urge us to cross the river." Ma Zhong said.

It is better to say "rush" than "urge"...

Still have a big temper?
But no matter what, the other party should be helping him. Bai Tu also chose to believe the other party and immediately ordered to cross the river.

With this group of mysterious people to restrain them, Bai Tu and his party finally reached the middle of the river without any external threats. However, judging from the movements of the pursuers, those few should have already withdrawn...

At this time, the rebels chased them to the river and were about to launch an arrow attack. However, at this moment, they saw the sound of hoofbeats on the other side of the river. Through the moonlight, it could be seen that a large group of people seemed to be arriving in the smoke!
At the same time, I heard someone shouting from the other side of the river: "The thief Cao Jiaoqing, who is under the command of the Lujiang Prefect's Mansion, is here. Don't be so arrogant, thief!"

Bai Tu was also surprised when he heard this. Ordinarily... he had indeed commended Lu Kang again before and was reinstated as the governor of Lujiang, but he also did not take up the post. And his third brother was indeed in Shucheng and he was smart enough, but... ...You never expected to be attacked, right?

Considering the speed at which letters are transmitted within Lujiang County, Zhou Yu has just received his own letter at most. How come support comes so quickly?

But then I thought about it - what did the person say? ?

Menxiadu Cao, also called "menxiadu", is different from military ranks such as chief and corps commander. This is an official position with a rank of two hundred stones. It is an official position in the prefecture and is responsible for exterminating thieves in the territory. It is also a military attaché... Sesame Mung Bean big!

Ordinarily, if he really came to welcome me, he couldn't just come with a sect supervisor, right?
It seems that Bai Tu was really lucky to meet the sect supervisor who happened to be on patrol here... Fortunately, the sect supervisor in Lujiang was really energetic and was still out patrolling in the middle of the night.

His voice sounded quite young, and Bai Tu had already made up his mind to promote him afterwards.

When the pursuers behind them saw Shucheng's bandit suppressing troops arriving for reinforcements, they immediately did not dare to continue firing arrows. After wandering for a while, they turned around and retreated - since there was no hope of capturing Bai Tu alive, they could only take advantage of Bai Tu's return. I didn't do anything serious about "running thinly" before. If I'm lucky, I might be able to escape to Nanyang.

As for Yuzhou and Xuzhou?Cao Cao and Liu Bei's control over the two places is definitely much stronger than Liu Biao's control over Nanyang. As for Jiangdong, it is even more of a dragon's pond and a tiger's den for them.

As soon as Bai Tu landed on the beach, he saw the young man who shouted loudly to fight off the pursuers.

Bai Tu looked at it and was a little confused that he was not wearing a battle armor, but he still laughed and went up to greet him: "Hahaha, there are indeed many heroes in Lujiang County. The Jiao family has many troops. If there are enough, I will charge back!"

Why are you laughing?
nonsense!

It's so embarrassing to be chased so far, right?

At least in front of his subordinates, Bai Tu should act like he was not frightened and that this was just a minor problem...

In short, it is definitely right to smile first to relieve the embarrassment!

"This noble man is just a clerk in the prefect's palace. I just saw the thieves showing off their evil deeds, so I crossed the river to deceive them. There are no soldiers... Your noble man, you'd better run away before they could react." The man who called himself Jiao Qing The young man said urgently.

Bai Tu's face froze. At the same time, he also noticed the smoke and dust. It was clear that more than a dozen laborers transporting silk cloth were fanning themselves with large pieces of silk cloth, and they were desperately driving away the horses and oxen pulling the carts, raising their hooves on the spot. …

At this time, the young scholar looked at Bai Tu and others with hesitant eyes - it was getting late and he didn't see clearly, so he thought they were a small group of rich caravans, but now he saw clearly that these people were all covered in armor, and they were clearly visible. They are all generals, and I don't know them, so I can't help but feel worried... Could this be a rebel army? It was just internal strife or gangsters, right?
At this time, Bai Tu also understood that the clerk had just committed a deception, but... thinking about it carefully, this "deceit" was a bit too shallow.

It’s just bragging anyway, why can’t you be a bigger official?Wouldn't it be better to just call him Captain Cavalry?
In addition, no one is really chasing them back. When the thieves react, they will definitely find the violation after careful consideration...

"Then we can't escape anymore... and stay close to the river!" Bai Tu ordered decisively.

At this time, Bai Tu's personal guards have almost exhausted their armor power and cannot escape far. They might as well take advantage of the favorable location and fight with the opponent. Although there are only a large number of soldiers in the area, Bai Tu really doesn't believe that the opponent can He had to carry the damage and forcefully cross the river!

And if nothing else goes wrong, as long as they defend for a while, reinforcements including Cheng Lian and Cao Xing will also gather. After all...it's a little chaotic, but Lujiang is already Bai Tu's home court!
