Chapter 221 The Souped Chicken
Zhong Yao looked at the retreating Zang Ba's army, and immediately summoned all the soldiers to search for suitable materials in the woods to make rafts and prepare to cross the river.
Fortunately, Jiangjindu itself is a small town with trees, and soldiers can easily find trees, but after this war, the thriving trees were burned to death, while the rest were all rotten trees.
These Cao's defeated generals cut off their swords and guns, and barely laid countless rafts on the collected dead trees. More than a thousand people took advantage of the bamboo raft and paddled to the other side in a mess.
The direction of the other shore was quiet, and no soldiers were seen in the Chu army. Zhong Yao wanted to wait until he fled to the other shore, and then set up a large camp on the south bank of the Wei River and then seal the entire water surface, so that he could block the enemy's attack.
The raft had just entered the water. On the shore, Zang Ba and Ma Chao's army gathered, and they led the army to chase the ferry crossing of Daojiangjin.
The Xiliang cavalry with more than 10,000 people was in a strong fighting spirit. Seeing Zhong Yao and his remaining soldiers, they were able to escape from the sky by chance. They were all so angry that they gritted their teeth, but unfortunately they could only sigh at the water.
Only Ma Chao looked calm and looked at Zhong Yao's thousands of soldiers and horses away with his head held high.
"It's so annoying. We're just a little bit away from getting that guy." Zang Ba cursed hatefully.
Ma Chao sneered and said lightly: "What's the point of being angry about? It's not that easy for Zhong Yao to run away."
Hearing Ma Chao's tone, he seemed to have no choice but to catch Zhong Yao, but now the enemy raft is far away, and even if he is about to set up a raft, it is too late. When the raft is ready, Zhong Yao's army would have been on the other side long ago and slipped away without a trace. He was full of suspicion when he chased Zang Ba, but Ma Chao only looked calm and calm, looking at the waves of the Wei River.
More than a hundred steps away, Zhong Yao was also looking at the south bank with glory.
Looking at the fierce Chu army, he had no choice but to stop on the shore and could only watch himself and escape from their noses. Zhong Yao had only happiness.
Looking at the Chu soldiers who were sighing in the river, Zhong Yao's originally frightened face quietly appeared a little proud again.
The great Han Sili Captain gradually began to have the courage to make a comeback again.
At this moment, a Cao army soldier suddenly shouted: "A boat is coming downstream!"
Just when Zhong Yao was proud, some sharp-eyed barbarian soldier suddenly screamed.
Zhong Yao was shocked and looked downstream quickly. But he saw more than ten boats flying hundreds of steps downstream. He was the first to stand on the bow of the boat, and an enemy general stood with his sword. It was very majestic. It was Gan Ning.
Zhong Yao's expression changed drastically. Unexpectedly, his crow's mouth was even more arson. Lu Bu actually set up an ambush and then another ambush, and finally a group of soldiers were ambushed in the water.
On the shore, when Ma Chao saw Gan Ning leading his army appear, a sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth.
Before the war, Xu Shu had already speculated that when Zhong Yao was desperate, he would mostly choose to cross the Wei River and flee, so Lu Bu ordered Gan Ning to build a large ship early and patrol the Wei River, waiting for Zhong Yao's army to appear.
Ma Chao shouted with a spear like a spear: "Sawed Sky Bow, get ready!"
Then dozens of serrated sky bows were fired one after another. Countless serrated sky bows not only defeated countless Cao's army, but also overturned countless rafts.
When Zang Ba saw Gan Ning appear, he couldn't help but feel surprised: "I have heard that this Jinfan thief is very good at water kung fu. I didn't expect that this Jinfan thief was so fast. This is really the time when he showed his skills."
A hint of pride flashed across Ma Chao and Zang Ba's eyes, and then hung the weapons on the saddle one after another, looking at the distance with interest, admiring the chase and annihilation on the water.
Zhong Yao, who was on the water, was frightened when he saw the enemy ship flying there, and was anxious to scold the Cao soldiers for paddling desperately, trying to escape to the opposite shore before the enemy was approaching.
It’s a pity that the thick raft can be faster than the fast boat of Jinfanzi Gan Ning.
In a moment, more than ten small boats led by Zhou Cang rushed towards him.
More than ten steps apart, the Cao army walking on the boat began to shoot and kill these unarmed Cao soldiers.
Cao's soldiers had used all their weapons to make rafts. How could they avoid the sudden attack of sharp arrows? They shot down several times. Amid the screams, half of Cao's soldiers were shot into the arrows and fell into the Wei River.
The remaining Cao soldiers were frightened and desperately dodged the arrows. They were not worried about rafts. These rows of bamboo rafts lost control and drifted downstream.
Zhong Yaoke was anxious, but he could only dance the long sword in his hand and desperately resist the arrows. He watched Cao troops be shot and killed one by one, and the bamboo raft lost control and drifted away.
Gan Ning was almost shot and killed in front of him, so he instructed the helmsman and drove the boat to speed towards the bamboo raft where Zhong Yao was.
Ten steps...five steps...one step...
With a loud "bang", the boat that was rushing towards him hit hard and hit the bamboo raft that was coming towards him.
Under the heavy blow, the already unsolid bamboo raft was instantly hit and disintegrated and split into pieces.
Zhong Yao shook his body and stepped on the air under his feet. His huge body fell into the Wei River with a "bang".
Before he could scream, he had already choked into his mouth with a large stream of river water.
Zhong Yao's water quality is not good. When he falls into water, he will flutter in a blink of an eye and fill it with a lot of water.
Looking at the embarrassed Zhong Yao, Gan Ning laughed happily, and sat down to see that he had been flooded enough, and was about to sink.
Gan Ning, who was preparing to capture Zhong Yao, was really at this time, hundreds of Cao soldiers who dared to fight came desperately, and they wanted to rescue Zhong Yao.
The captain shouted: "Sir, don't panic, quickly, quickly."
At this time, the captain commander's remaining bamboo rafts blocked the attack of Gan Ning's boat. The captain used this gap to pull Zhong Yao down on the bamboo raft.
When Gan Ning saw this form, if he didn't seize the time, the enemy might really run away. He began to desperately command the soldiers to shoot arrows and attack.
Suddenly, a soldier suddenly appeared on the other side, and a team of tens of thousands of people appeared. Under the banner of "King", everyone saw clearly that it was Wang Zhen's army.
It turned out that Wang Zhen was escorting food and grass so he returned to the south bank, but now they are pulling the bowstrings one after another to rescue Zhong Yao.
And Gan Ning knew that now he had to destroy Zhong Yao at the fastest speed, otherwise they would enter the range of the enemy's range and they would all die under the enemy's crossbow arrows.
In the end, Gan Ning sent out the last fatal arrow, but the arrow was blocked by the captain for Zhong Yao. After many casualties and wounded, Gan Ning's army chose to retreat helplessly.
However, Zhong Yao's clothes were all wet and his hair was soaked, just like a chicken.
