After exchanging hostages, Ma Yue ordered Zhou Cang to lead 50 horses to drive the army southward first, and he himself led 200 horses of Qingzhou stragglers to break the back personally and wind southward.

"Report~~~"

Ma Yue rate 200 ride spent more than an hour, but far from Pheasant County is less than 10 miles, suddenly heard a loud and clear shout mixed with the sound of rapid hoofbeats, look back, only to see a scout horse is galloping from the north.

"Big chief, 10 miles north suddenly appeared a large number of official cavalry!"

Ma Yue expected that He Jin would not be so easy to deal with and believed that the Han army must have an arrangement, but when he heard the report from the scouting horse, he was still shocked and said in a deep voice, "What did you say! A large number of Han cavalry!"

The scouting horse gasped and replied affirmatively, "Yes, there are more than a thousand horsemen!"

"More than a thousand horsemen?"

Ma Yue was shocked again, He Jin really looked up to him, Ma Yue, to mobilize thousands of horsemen to deal with a mere 800 stragglers! When Zhu Jun's army was clearing out Zhang Mancheng's Yellow Turban Army, he only had a thousand Xilang cavalry under his command. This time, in order to deal with eight hundred bandits, actually sent a thousand cavalry!

"Report~~"

Ma Yue was shocked when the east and west sounded the harsh shouts of the scouting horses, and the two horsemen rushed to Ma Yue almost simultaneously.

"Chief, the government troops are found in the west, and they are approaching our army, there are a thousand of them!"

"Big chief, official troops are found in the east, approaching our army, there are a thousand of them!"

What? Both the east and the west side of the army have appeared at the same time! And both of them have a thousand men! Ma Yue's heart began to pound. Since the government troops were found in the north, east and west at the same time, it was impossible for the Han army, which was used to using the iron wall siege tactics, to leave a gap in the south.

According to this calculation, the Han army has used at least 4,000 troops, and at least 2,000 cavalry! What's even more shocking is that this group of Han troops is definitely not the Nan Yang soldiers, but the elite central army from Luoyang! What kind of scale is this? Could it be that He Jin personally led the army to suppress it? Just to deal with a mere 800 stragglers, don't you think it's a bit too much? Besides, is it useful to do so?

Simple-minded as Mao San, he now knows that he has fallen into the official army's encirclement, so he looked at Ma Yue and said, "Big chief, what should we do? To fight or not to fight?"

Ma Yue laughed and said in a gloomy voice: "What the heck, go back to Wancheng immediately!"

According to the time calculation, Zhou Cang drove 2000 horses almost to Wancheng, as for their own 200 ride Qingzhou stragglers, few people and small target, although the Han army from three directions pressed over, but far from forming a real encirclement, randomly check a gap can be penetrated through. As long as we return to Wancheng, when the brothers climb on horseback, hey, that is a clean cavalry, and two horses per person, still afraid of the official army a bird? Even if He Jin personally came, as usual, to him to eat a butt ash.

"Go!"

Ma Yue's legs held the belly of the horse fiercely, and took the lead in the direction of Wancheng and sped away, followed by Mao San and 200 Qingzhou rogues, who swept away like a shadow.

However, Ma Yue led 200 riders southward less than 20 miles, actually caught up with Zhou Cang and his party.

Seeing that Ma Yue was leading the group back, Zhou Cang greeted them with a crying face and anxious heart.

Ma Yue was shocked and angry, and scolded: "What's wrong with you, Zhou Cang? Two hours have passed, but you have only walked so far?"

Zhou Cang wiped the sweat on his forehead and said urgently, "It's not that I don't go, it's the horse that refuses to go!"

Ma Yue said in a deep voice: "The horse refused to go? What is this?"

Zhou Cang said, "I don't know, less than 10 miles from Pheasant County, these horses started to strain, and they kept straining, and their running speed was getting slower and slower, and when they reached this place, they simply stopped walking.

Ma Yue's heart jumped, look at the eyes, only to see more than 50 rode the head of the bandits are loudly rebuked, hard to drive, but the team of horses but no response, only tramping in place, so a moment of work, and dozens of war horses fell down, lying on the ground began to twitch.

Ma Yue pondered for a moment, and then abruptly shouted in a stern voice, "Kill the horses!"

The official army is approaching from the north, west and east, and the cavalry that has not yet appeared in the south may also be killed at any time, if there is a slight delay, they may be trapped in a heavy siege and die without a burial place! This time there is no time to explore why these war horses are like this, and it is impossible to carry them back to Wancheng, the only way, is to kill them all!

Even if the 800 bandits could not get the horses, they must not be allowed to return to the Han army intact, otherwise, the Han army suddenly had 2,000 more cavalry, facing more than 4,000 cavalry trailing pursuit, how can the 800 bandits live in the future? If a man can run on two legs, how can he outrun a four-legged beast?

"What?"

They didn't expect that Ma Yue would give such an order, this is 2,000 horses, there is still a surplus of one horse for each man.

"Kill the horses!" Ma Yue's murderous spirit was awe-inspiring as he bellowed, "Who dares to disobey orders!

"Obey ...... the order!"

Zhou Cang shivered coldly, turned around and fiercely poked a knife into the heart of a military horse. The next bandits did not dare to slow down, have copied the waist knife, like a fierce gods rushed into the herd of horses, all of a sudden, the war horse's tragic neighing sounded through the clouds, converging into a mournful death march.

In less than a tea time, all 2,000 horses had fallen in a pool of blood, and more than 250 stragglers were all bloodstained, as if they had just rushed out from the midst of thousands of horses.

At this time, Ma Yue suddenly felt the earth beneath his feet began to tremble, surprised to look up, only to see the northern horizon has risen a black line, only a few moments of work, the black line has become thicker, cavalry! Damn Han cavalry killed at this juncture!

"Mao San, Niu Si, lead 200 horsemen to follow me!" Ma Yue turned onto his horse, unloaded his thick-backed steel sword from his back, and shouted, "Zhou Cang, lead the remaining men back to Wancheng, tell Guan Hai and Pei Yuan Shao to immediately lead all the men to evacuate Wancheng, cross the White Water and move east, and turn towards Zhongyang Mountain!"

Zhou Cang seemed to have a premonition of something and shouted with angry eyes, "What about you, big chief?"

Ma Yue said sternly, "If we let a large group of Han cavalry pester us, not only will we not be able to escape, but even our brothers in Wancheng may be eaten up by the Han army in one go.

Zhou Cang said haughtily, "Chief, I'll go!"

Ma Yue shouted, "Zhou Cang, you dare to disobey the military order!

Zhou Cang turned onto his horse and shouted, "The eight hundred bandits can do without Zhou Cang, but not without the big leader! Forgive me for disobeying the order!"

"Zhou Cang, you come back!"

Turning back to give Ma Yue a pathos cold smile, Zhou Cang said aloud: "Big chief, if Zhou Cang unfortunately died in battle, don't forget to pour me some leftover water wine at the Qingming Festival every year! Brothers, come with me~~"

"Kill~~"

Mao San and Niu Si's eyes were red, like wild beasts in a frenzy, wolves howled in response.

"Kill~~"

The 200-rider Qingzhou stragglers waved their weapons wildly, and their wild aura surged and stirred between heaven and earth.

Behind Zhou Cang, Mao San, Niu Si and more than 200 horsemen howled madly and waved their weapons, like a group of trapped beasts forced into a desperate situation by the hunter, with the will to fight to the death, without going forward.

"Go!"

Ma Yue gave a last look at Zhou Cang, led the steel sword in his hand to the south, and galloped towards Wancheng, and behind Ma Yue, the remaining 50 roaming bandits were alone and forlorn.

"Humph! Since you are here, do you still want to leave?"

Ma Yue's words fell, a dull humming sound came abruptly from the northwest direction, this sound is not large but like a sharp sword pierced through the space of hundreds of paces, clearly into the ears of Ma Yue and all the stragglers, Ma Yue looked back in shock, only to see a ride burning like a flame, stepping on the afterglow of the sun like a shocking lightning speeding, only a moment's work, less than a hundred paces away from Ma Yue.

Ma Yue's pupils abruptly contracted, this guy's horse is so fast, run fear is not run away.

The strong killing machine in Sun Jian chest endlessly burning, he has never been so eager as now, eager to kill a person! For no other reason, just for the words of Zhu Jun, the left general, just to return a bright and clear world to the Great Han, just to return a peaceful and prosperous world to the people of the world, he will never allow people like Ma Yue to live between heaven and earth.

"Kill!"

Sun Jian roared, and his heavy ancient ingot sword was raised high, the cold glow cracked the air, and the killing aura filled the field.

"Die!"

Ma Yue roared, turned his horse's head, spurred his horse into a gallop, fearlessly facing Sun Jian, the original pair of black bright eyes, now a crimson, almost able to drip blood, hideous to the point of suffocation.
