    Gan Ning's mind was spinning, and he suddenly burst out with all his strength, dancing the tiger-toothed sword so airtight that the bells rang continuously.  L¨¹ Meng and Ling Tong were forced to switch from defense to attack. They were waiting for Gan Ning to be exhausted.  Unexpectedly, Gan Ning suddenly made a series of false moves, forced the enemy to retreat, and fled away.

    "You are a cowardless person!! Those who run away are not heroes!!"

    Lu Meng and Ling Tong chased after him, and Ling Tong shouted angrily.

    "Hahaha. Shuzi, you took advantage of the numbers, but you blamed me! How shameful are you!?"

    Gan Ning turned around and laughed, which in turn humiliated Lu Meng and Ling Tong.  Lu Meng's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and Ling Tong gritted his teeth, wishing to tear Gan Ning alive.  L¨¹ Meng had a plan in his mind and taught Ling Tong how to do this with quick words.  Ling Tong was overjoyed and immediately accelerated his flight. His Pegasus surpassed Lu Meng and flew towards Gan Ning at great speed.

    In a moment.  Lu Meng suddenly reined in his horse, held down his spear, took out a magpie-painted bow from behind, quickly took five eagle-feather arrows, loaded the bow, and aimed at Gan Ning's back.  Gan Ning was shocked. Suddenly, there were two bangs and two arrows were shot from the magpie bow. Gan Ning hurriedly rode his horse to dodge and just missed the two arrows.  In the midst of lightning and flint, three more bang-bang-bang sounds of a bowstring were heard. When Gan Ning came to his senses, three arrows in the shape of a fret were about to be shot.  Gan Ning quickly reined in his horse, swung his sword repeatedly, and cut off all three arrows, when something strange happened again!

    "Evil thief, come and take your life!!!"

    It turns out that Ling Tong took advantage of Gan Ning's opportunity to block the arrows and had already galloped over.  Ling Tong roared loudly, and with a burst of strength from both arms, he whipped out the raging lion-headed whip, one whip hitting Gan Ning's heart and the other whipping Gan Ning's throat.  Gan Ning's face changed drastically with fright, and he hurriedly dodged. Although he avoided a dangerous position, he was still hit in the chest by Ling Yi's whip.  The huge collision force made Gan Ning's internal organs churn.

    Gan Ning held back the severe pain, like a wild lion in danger, he fought hard and slashed at Ling Tong with his knife, but Ling Tong rushed to resist with his double whip.  The violent force knocked back Ling Tong and his horse several meters.

    Gan Ning took the opportunity to run away, but Lu Meng in the distance fired several arrows, but because the distance was too far, the arrows fell before they could reach Gan Ning.  By the time Ling Tong came to his senses, Gan Ning had already fled into the retreating Jiangxia army.  Seeing the enemy who killed his father escape from his hands, Ling Tong shouted angrily with great disgrace.  Later, Lu Meng arrived, and the two led their troops to cover up the enemy for a while. When they were about to catch up to Jiangxia Dazhai, Zhou Tai ordered his soldiers to blow the horn to call for gold and retreat.  Lu Meng and Ling Tong, two extremely brave young generals, slowly gathered their troops and returned to the city.

    Jiangdong general Zhou Tai led troops to rescue Nanchang. Su Fei lost for a while and learned from Gan Ning that there were two rising young soldiers in the Jiangdong army who were very brave and unstoppable.  Su Fei was cautious by nature and did not dare to take Nanchang City by force again, so he sent someone to convey the battle report to Huang Zu urgently.

    Huang Zu learned that Xingye led his army to Nanchang, and 20,000 Jiangxia troops rushed into the Jiangxia camp outside Nanchang City.  Huang Zu immediately ordered the soldiers in each department to rest, and at the same time, he also took precautions against Zhou Tai's attack on the camp.

    A few days later, Huang Zu divided his army into three groups. The front army had 3,000 sword and shield bearers, 7,000 spearmen, and a total of 10,000 soldiers, led by Huang Zu's lieutenant general Huang Zhong and school captain Zhang Shuo.  The eight thousand crossbowmen of the Chinese army were led by generals Su Fei and Gan Ning.  The rear army consisted of 6,000 cavalry and 4,000 swordsmen and axemen, led by Huang Zu himself.  Jiangxia's army pressed down on Nanchang City in a mighty manner, with swords and guns covering the sun and flags covering the sky.

    Zhou Tai led his troops out to meet him and deployed in the field, leading ten thousand troops into a formation.  Zhou Tai rode out under the gate flag, rode out into battle, and flew towards the Jiangxia army, cursing and provoking a fight.  Huang Zhong galloped out to fight, holding a strange red sword and running straight towards Zhou Tai.  When Zhou Tai saw Huang Zhong coming out of the battle, he knew how brave he was. His face suddenly became solemn and he trembled with energy.  The two horses charged at each other. Zhou Tai's hands were quick and he slashed first with his exquisite Tiger Roaring sword. Huang Zhong ducked and avoided Zhou Tai's sword, and immediately swung the red sword and slashed at Zhou Tai's throat.  Zhou Tai also dodged and narrowly avoided it.  The two of them immediately launched an offensive, each wielding their swords and attacking wildly. The swords were flying so fast that it was difficult to catch them.  The sergeants of both armies were all horrified.  The two fought for fifty or sixty rounds, but there was still no winner.

    Zhang Shuo, who was in the Jiangxia formation, roared angrily when he saw this, and he raised his gun and flew his horse to help in the battle.  At the same time, Ling Tong reacted quickly, rushed out of the battle first, and killed Zhang Shuo like lightning.  Seeing that Ling Tong was young, Zhang Shuo did not take him seriously and fought with Ling Tong several times with a gun.  Unexpectedly, Ling Tong's attack was terrifying. Each attack was faster and fiercer than the last. Zhang Shuo couldn't resist and tried to escape, but Ling Tong took the opportunity to hit him in the back with his whip, knocking him off his horse.  Ling Tong wanted to pursue him, but Zhang Shuo's cavalry saw that the situation was not good and rushed to intercept him in time.  Ling Tong vigorously killed the enemy and scattered Zhang Shuo from his horse. However, Zhang Shuo had remounted his horse and fled back to the formation.  Ling Tong then abandoned Zhang Shuo and rushed to Zhou Tai's side, intending to attack Huang Zhong from both sides.  Seeing that the battle situation was not going well, Huang Zhong made a false cut with his sword, swung his legs away, and quickly moved his horse back to the formation.  Zhou Tai chased after him. Huang Zhong suddenly turned around, picked up his bow and shot three arrows in a row. The arrows were fired quickly and accurately. Zhou Tai dodged two arrows, and the third arrow created a fierce spark on his armpit armor.  Zhou Tai was shocked and didn't dare to??Chasing.  Ling Tong also saw that Huang Zhong's archery skills were terrifying and stopped pursuing him.  Huang Zhong returned to the formation and hurriedly ordered the army to attack. Zhou Tai hurriedly ordered his troops to attack, and the two armies fought in a mixed manner.  Because Jiangxia's army was so large that Jiangdong's army was gradually unable to reach them, Zhou Tai's army retreated and fought, returning to Nanchang City.  Seeing that the situation was favorable, Huang Zu ordered his army to pursue him. Huang Zhong led the front army to the city first. The defenders on Nanchang City fired arrows and rolled stones to kill all the nearly a thousand Jiangxia soldiers and horses who were pursuing the most urgently.  Huang Zhong hurriedly led his army to retreat. When Su Fei and Huang Zu's sergeants pressed forward, Zhou Tai had already led his army to the city.  Huang Zu saw that it would be difficult to capture Nanchang City for a while, so he ordered his army to withdraw to Dazhai first.

    Huang Zu gained a lot of advantages in the first battle and became more confident, so he ordered his army to attack Nanchang City for several days.  Zhou Tai held the city tightly and took advantage of the terrain to fight against the Jiangxia army.  The two armies attacked and defended for nearly ten days. Both armies suffered casualties.

    At night, the Jiangxia army had just withdrawn.  Lu Meng and Ling Tong will come to look for Zhou Tai.  Although the current battle situation is unfavorable, Lu Meng still has clear eyes and is not anxious at all, giving people a very mature feeling.

    "General Zhou, according to the instructions of the military advisor, it is time for us to withdraw our troops."

    "Yes. That's what I meant. With our army withdrawing at this time, Huang Chengjie must have thought that we might not be able to defend Nanchang and the whole army would be wiped out, so he withdrew. And with this formation as a cover,  This will save Huang Chengjie from being suspicious if General Sun pretends to surrender in the future."

    Zhou Tai nodded slightly, then ordered the two generals Lu Meng and Ling Tong to order all troops to prepare to evacuate that night.

    At the third watch of the night, all the Jiangdong soldiers and horses in Nanchang City were evacuated. A Jiangxia scout found out and reported to Huang Zu.  Huang Zu was overjoyed when he heard the report, and immediately sent Huang Zhong to lead an army to explore the truth. Huang Zhong led his army to Nanchang City, and found that Nanchang City was unguarded. So Huang Zhong led his army to attack Nanchang, captured the city, and sent people  Notify Huang Zu.

    Huang Zu went south to Jiangdong on this trip. Naturally, he would not settle for just a few cities or places. What he wanted was the entire Jiangdong.  After Huang Zu captured Nanchang City, his soldiers rested for a few days and then continued to march towards Jiujiang.  While the Jiangxia army was marching, an envoy from Sun Jing suddenly came to ask for an audience. Huang Zu heard that the soldiers had come to report and learned that Sun Jing had sent an envoy to ask for an audience. He was overjoyed and greeted him quickly.  After the two men performed the ceremony, Sun Jing came as an envoy and handed Sun Jing's letter to Huang Zu.  Huang Zu hurriedly opened it and read it. What was written in the letter was just as he expected.  It turned out that Sun Jing had been rebelling in Kuaiji for many days. He fought with Sun Ce's troops and could not match the superiority of his army.  Sun Jing lost the city and was about to be cornered by Sun Ce's troops, so she sent a letter to Huang Zu, firstly to surrender, and secondly in the hope that Huang Zu would come to rescue.

    "Hahaha! Sun Kuaiji has unique vision and knows that Jiangdong will fall into my hands sooner or later. It is said that those who understand current affairs are heroes. How can I not include it!"

    Huang Zu clapped his hands and laughed, then rewarded Sun Jing generously. Sun Jing came to thank the envoy and left.  Huang Zu then called all the generals in the army to discuss the matter under his tent.

    When the generals under Huang Zu learned that Sun Jing had surrendered, their expressions changed.  Huang Zhong frowned deeply and stood up to attend the remonstrance.

    "My lord, the Sun and Huang families have been grudged for a long time, and they are incompatible with each other. How could Sun Jing ignore the hatred and surrender to the lord? There may be some fraud involved!"

    As soon as Huang Zhong said this, Su Fei, Zhang Shuo and other generals all echoed his words.  Huang Zu narrowed his eyes, secretly hating Huang Zhong for being an ignorant man who was inflaming the morale of the army again.  However, Huang Zu still had a smile on his face and explained patiently.

    "Haha, Han Sheng, don't be suspicious. The battle between Sun Jing and Sun Ce has been going on for some time. If the two of them decided the winner all at once, I would suspect him of fraud. But the fact is that the two have been fighting for a long time.  I heard a report earlier that there were corpses everywhere in Kuaiji County, all of them were soldiers and horses under the command of the two men. From this point of view, how could there be any lies in this?

    Furthermore, the Sun and Huang families became enemies because of Sun Wentai.  Now that Sun Wentai is dead, and Sun Jing has not gotten what he wants, he naturally holds a grudge, and is now being forced into desperation by Sun Bofu, so it is reasonable and reasonable for him to seek refuge.  "

    "But!!!"

    Huang Zhong wanted to say more, but Huang Zu glared angrily and shouted.

    "That's enough! I've made up my mind. Sun Jing came to vote, and God helped me win Jiangdong! How could I let such a great opportunity go to waste!!!"

    Seeing that Huang Zu was determined to do so, Huang Zhong did not dare to persuade him.  Many of Huang Zu's generals felt something was wrong, but they didn't realize it for a while.

    So Huang Zu led his army straight into the hinterland of Jiangdong. On the way, he encountered Jiangdong soldiers and horses several times to block them, but they were all repelled by Jiangxia army.  Half a month later, Huang Zu led his army to the border between Jiujiang and Kuaiji. Sun Jing had already received Huang Zu's letter and led his army to retreat to Hukou, the boundary between Jiujiang and Kuaiji.

    When Sun Jing heard that Huang Zu had arrived, he quickly led a group of troops out of the city to greet him personally.  Huang Zu was overjoyed when he saw Sun Jing coming. He first comforted Sun Jing and promised Sun Jing that if he could capture Jiangdong, he would reward Sun Jing with the three counties of Jiujiang, Kuaiji and Linhai as a mark of his merit.  Sun Jing pretended to be overjoyed and thanked Huang Zu.  After that, Sun Jing introduced Huang Zu and his tribe into the?, the two armies joined together.  Sun Jing also held a big banquet in the city to pay tribute to Huang Zu and wash away the dust of his generals. Naturally, it was no big deal.
