I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 561: Really Sly
Wang Fang's performance made Li Meng dumbfounded.

What does it mean that you can only recognize people when you encounter them?
Li Meng spat fiercely.

After all, Wang Fang was once a warlord in Xiliang. It was only after Lord Dong personally stepped in to successfully recruit him. Later, he was appointed as Sima of a separate department and joined the Xiliang army.

Although Wang Fang's rank is not as high as that of the four lieutenants Li, Guo, Zhang and Jia under General Niu, his independence is still higher than theirs.

Seeing him speaking so arrogantly just now, Li Meng wondered if Wang Fang really had any ability.

Who knew that this guy was just a big talker. The champion had just come out of isolation and he ran away from a long distance away.

You still dare to talk about us? You just ran away as soon as you heard the news, what a piece of shit.

However, even though he cursed in his heart, Li Meng really felt a huge pressure at this moment.

However, Li Meng is not completely desperate yet.

Because he knew that Captain Jia would take action!
"Wenhe, the next defense task will be handed over to you."

Before Dong Zhuo's army retreated, Niu Fu earnestly told Jia Xu:

"You did a great job in stopping Lu Bu last time, and you were instrumental in our army's success."

"If you can stop Su Yao this time, when my army returns to the capital, I will commend you for your achievements and make you a general and a marquis!"

ho-

Zhang Ji and others were shocked.

This is an appointment as a general and a title of nobility.

You must know that in Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army today, only Dong Gong himself and his younger brother, the newly promoted Left General Dong Min, have the title of marquis.

Even Niu Fu, the son-in-law of Mr. Dong, had not yet had a turn, yet he dared to show off his achievements like this.

It seems that General Niu is also very clear about the key to this withdrawal operation.

If no one could successfully block the attack of Su Yao and the Nanyang coalition forces and buy time for the army to evacuate and cross the river, they would most likely all be buried on the south bank of the Luo River.

It can be said that Jia Xu’s actions concern the lives of all of them.

Jia Xu, who was placed with such high hopes, was more aware of his mission.

He bowed deeply, lowered his head, and replied with his hands clasped:
"I will do my best."

Upon hearing this, Niu Fu patted Jia Xu on the shoulder:

"Wenhe, I believe in you. After this battle, I will live up to your expectations."

After saying that, Niu Fu officially handed over the important task of stopping Su Yao to Jia Xu, and entrusted the entire camp to him, asking Jia Xu to arrange positions, set traps, etc.

Jia Xu had already proven himself in previous battles, and Niu Fu believed that even if this young captain could not complete the task outstandingly, he should still be able to buy time.

Niu Fu had even instructed that if the enemy's offensive was found to be fierce and difficult to stop, he should let Jia Xu burn down the camps to isolate the pursuers with the fire.

So, just as Jia Xu was arranging his work in the front camp and pretending that the army was still there.

Niu Fu and his trusted men in the central army had already taken advantage of the night to quietly evacuate via a small path without even lighting torches.

Therefore, when Li Meng saw Wang Fang fleeing in panic, he was not too desperate.

Captain Jia will take action, so there is no need to panic.

"Everyone stay in line, don't rush."

"Those rebels can't get through easily."

"Captain Jia has turned our camp into a ruthless trap."

"A raging fire will stop them!"

As he said this, Li Meng looked back at the camp that was getting farther and farther away.

I saw that the lights were still on, and it was obviously not the most dangerous time yet.

That's how it should have been.

But soon, Li Meng and the generals of Niu Fu's army discovered that something was wrong.

A long dragon lit by torches was approaching rapidly.

Although the distance was still too far to see clearly, there was no doubt that it was a speed that only cavalry could achieve!

"How, how could this happen?!"

"How could this happen?!"

Niu Fu and others were shocked.

They didn't even wait for the camp to catch fire. The cavalry team appeared before their eyes and broke through the defenses of their camp almost unhindered.

"Not good!" "Is that Su guy so strong?!"

"Jia Xu is defeated already?!"

Panic spread among the team. Niu Fu knew that they would be defeated if they fought to the death at this moment, so he decided to cut off his rear and survive.

While ordering Li Meng and Wang Fang's troops at the rear of the team to organize defense and prepare for an ambush, he strictly ordered everyone not to light fires or make noise, and to evacuate quickly.

"Don't be afraid, we still have a chance."

"The dark night is our best cover. That Su guy will never catch us."

"Go, go!"

Niu Fu fled at night and headed straight for the ferry that had been prepared long ago.

Li Meng, who received the blocking order, cursed inwardly, and tried to calm the soldiers:

"Hide where you are and get your weapons ready!"

"Don't be afraid, everyone. We didn't take the main road, so Su Yao won't be able to find us easily."

"Now I am in the dark and he is in the light."

"We just need to wait for him to start fighting with other friendly forces, and then sneak out to attack him quietly. We will definitely catch him off guard!"

That’s right, Li Meng was not prepared to directly stop Su Yao.

After Wang Fang ran away, he knew very well that his limited strength was not enough to stop the Champion Marquis.

It is better to hide first, play the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind, make full use of your advantage of stealth in the dark, and let the friendly forces act as shields.

From the perspective of universal rationality, there seems to be nothing wrong with Li Meng's decision.

The path they took to withdraw, no, it was not even a strict official road, but it passed through the fields.

He also asked everyone to hide in the wheat field. In the darkness, the pursuers didn't know their whereabouts and the probability of finding anyone was very slim.

However, something shocking happened soon after.

The team was actually running towards where he was.

Although it was not facing them directly, the risk of exposure was greatly increased.

"what happened"

Li Meng swallowed his saliva:
“This is too accurate.”

Accurate, that's right. This was also thanks to the fact that he couldn't see clearly the situation on Su Yao's side, otherwise he would have been shocked.

because
"Lord Su, please come this way."

The person who was guiding Su Yao as he rode his horse was actually Jia Xu!

Yes, Jia Xu took action!

But this development not only surprised Niu Fu, Li Meng and others, but even Su Yao felt a little surprised.

This was different from what Niu Fu and the others wishfully believed, that they could hide in the dark and escape.

In fact, Su Yao had observed the movements of Niu Fu and others through the small map from the very beginning.

In order to ensure the killing efficiency of the pursuit, he deliberately did not attack directly, but instead specifically instructed everyone to rest and prepare. At the same time, he waited until most of Niu Fu's troops had left the barracks and lost protection before he started to go out.

At the same time, in order to ensure the impact of the team, Su Yao directly gathered together generals and knights such as Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun. After coming out of the pass, he went straight in and rushed into the open camp of Niu Fu's army in one breath.

In the face of the absolute gap in strength, Su Yao believed that no matter what kind of ghosts and monsters, or any conspiracy or tricks, they would not be their match now.

Not to mention that the enemy troops in the camp were clearly deployed on his small map.

However, after rushing into the camp, Su Yao thought there would be a thrilling counter-ambush battle.

Unexpectedly, after receiving the task from Niu Fu, Jia Xu did not make any arrangements at all. Instead, he took his remaining thousand soldiers and lay down directly, waiting for Su Yao to come and then defect on the spot.

In the brightly lit camp, Jia Xu and his soldiers formed a semicircle. When they saw Su Yao's cavalry rushing into the camp, they bowed their heads and knelt down.

This time, Lu Bu and others who had suffered a loss before were immediately unable to deal with it.

They looked at the big banners with the word "Jia" on them that could be seen everywhere in the camp, and were thinking of avenging their previous humiliation and deciding the winner. However, who knew that Jia Xu had no martial ethics and would not give them any chance for revenge.

"Captain Jia, what do you mean?!"

Lü Bu rode on his Red Hare, wielding his painted halberd, and angrily rebuked Jia Xu:

"When two armies are at war, how can you surrender without a fight?!"

"Get up, let's compete again!"
