The gate of the county office was not too wide. At most, it was the size of two horses running side by side. Hundreds of warhorses charged into the formation of the Yaksha Camp in batches, and for a moment, people were thrown off their feet.
Because of the heavy armor, not many people from Yaksha Camp died. However, the heavy weight of the armor was too heavy, and many soldiers could not get up after falling.
This was the fatal weakness of the heavy infantry. Their movement speed was slow, and they could not fight for long.
"Form a square formation!"
Yuan Yao immediately gave the order to change the formation.
The quality of the Yaksha Battalion was still very high, and they reacted quickly. The courtyard of the county office was not big, and the square formation filled the empty space in the courtyard.
The soldiers were shoulder-to-shoulder, and the soldiers in the back row used their crescent shovels to block the backs of the soldiers in front.
Sun Ce continued to let the warhorses ram. Although it was still effective, it was not as obvious as before. The soldiers in the front row had support behind them, so they could completely resist.
However, he would definitely suffer internal injuries. This was unavoidable. The force of the horse hitting him was too great.
By the time Sun Ce had used up all his warhorses, there were only three hundred Yaksha Battalion soldiers left in the courtyard.
"Charge!"
Sun Ce and Taishi Ci took the lead and led the troops to attack Yuan Yao.
Now that the county government had become the battlefield for both sides, Yuan Yao's troops wanted to go in and rescue them, but Sun Ce's troops were blocking the gate of the county government.
Sun Ce also had a few hundred people around him. The courtyard was only so big, so he couldn't use too many of them.
"Yuan Yao, surrender!"
Sun Ce shouted at Yuan Yao, who was sitting on the steps.
Both parties were old acquaintances, so they naturally knew each other.
"Little kid, are you even worthy of betraying your master?!”
Yuan Yao directly cursed.
What did you call me?"
Sun Ce was furious.
"Your grandfather was just a melon farmer back then. If it weren't for my father supporting your Sun family, you would probably still be selling melons in Fuchun!
Now that he had transformed, he actually dared to call himself Sun Wu's descendant? Do you know how to fight?"
Yuan Yao directly revealed Sun Ce's background.
Sun Ce naturally flew into a rage out of humiliation. He raised the spear in his hand and pointed it at Yuan Yao.
"You sharp-tongued brat, I hope you can still be so unyielding later!”
Sun Ce didn't say anything more and charged fiercely at Yuan Yao.
As the personal guards, Yaksha Camp naturally stood by Yuan Yao's side and did not give in.
The two sides once again engaged in an intense battle. Although Sun Ce and Taishi Ci were very fierce, they were surrounded by seven or eight Yakshas.
Yakshas had astonishing defensive abilities and were not afraid of death. Even the two of them would find it very troublesome to deal with them.
Yuan Yao was still sitting still, but he had already begun to think of a way out. The situation on the field was slowly tilting towards Sun Ce's side.
Although the Yaksha Battalion was very fierce, heavy armor consumed too much energy. Yuan Yao sharply noticed that many Yakshas were already exhausted.
With a flash, Sun Ce broke through the Yaksha's encirclement and quickly charged towards Yuan Yao. As the Yaksha's movement speed was too slow, it could not catch up.
Seeing that Sun Ce was about to arrive, Yuan Yao planned to use his Character Summon Card to descend.
Guan, Zhang, and Zhao's Character Summon Cards were definitely overkill. Liu Bei's swordsmanship was not bad either, so he should be able to temporarily deal with the current situation.
Before Yuan Yao could use it, he saw Lu Lingqi directly swing her halberd at Sun Ce's face. Her movements were agile and her speed was astonishing.
"Clang!"
In his panic, Sun Ce hastily blocked the attack. He was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat and almost failed.
Sun Ce had not expected the little girl beside Yuan Yao to be so powerful. He had thought that Lu Lingqi was just the personal maid of Yuan Yao.
However, Sun Ce's casual attack had forced Lu Lingqi to take a few steps back before she could deflect the force from the weapon.
Yuan Yao could tell that Lu Lingqi's speed was fast and unexpected, but how much strength could a young girl have? She couldn't even withstand a casual blow from Sun Ce.
"Boom!"
Before Sun Ce could attack Yuan Yao again, a loud noise came from the gate of the county government.
"Charge! Protector!"
The general of Gu County charged into the courtyard.
Sun Ce wanted to attack and take down Yuan Yao. A little girl couldn't stop him at all, but unfortunately, the Yaksha he had shaken off earlier had already surrounded him again.
"My lord, the enemy's reinforcements are here!”
Taishi Ci shouted at Sun Ce as he dealt with the attacks around him.
"Damn it! Retreat!"
Yuan Yao was right in front of him, but unfortunately, he could only retreat.
"Silly boy, what do you think this place is? Come whenever you want? You want to leave just like that?"
When Yuan Yao saw that reinforcements had arrived, he could not help but pretend again.
"Soldiers, capture Sun Ce! He had been promoted three levels! Reward ten thousand gold!"
Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts!
With Yuan Yao's order, Sun Ce was no longer a human. In the eyes of the soldiers, Sun Ce was money. Money that could run would belong to whoever could snatch it.
Countless soldiers attacked Sun Ce with all their might. Sun Ce was surrounded so tightly that not even water could seep through. It seemed that he would die here today.
"Men, Sect Leader, announce it!"
With everyone by Sun Ce's side, the pressure on Taishi Ci was greatly reduced. With a shout, he led his troops to help Sun Ce.
After a series of killings, Taishi Ci finally rescued Sun Ce. Sun Ce's troops were protected by two guards in the middle.
"My lord, I'll cover the rear. You should leave quickly!”
Taishi Ci pushed Sun Ce out of the courtyard.
"Ziyi, be careful! Take care!"
Sun Ce didn't decline and was escorted by a small group of troops out of the county office.
Sun Ce was the leader of the people. He couldn't be swayed by his emotions at this time. There were many people who followed him. He couldn't lose the big for the small.
Taishi Ci was a minister, so it was his duty to cover for his lord.
The division of labor was clear and straightforward.
They were not in a relationship, and at the critical moment, they still had to act out a scene of lovey-dovey and tearful parting.
A true hero would never be like this.
Just like Cao Cao in Wancheng, he knew that his son and nephew would die if they stayed behind to cover the retreat, but he still left without hesitation!
Those who achieved great things were all ruthless!
In the end, Sun Ce still managed to escape. However, there were less than ten riders left by his side. Yuan Yao's side did not have any organized cavalry, so he did not send anyone to chase after him.
If there were fewer, they would not be able to defeat him. If there were more, they would not be able to catch up. It was meaningless.
Although he couldn't keep Sun Ce alive, Yuan Yao was still very satisfied because he had captured Taishi Ci alive.
Although he was only a second-rate general, he was already very good. In River East, there were no first-rate generals. Of course, this referred to individual bravery.
Moreover, Dongwu had the lowest presence in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Wei and Shu were shining stars, making Jiangdong seem weaker. In terms of popularity, they were also at a disadvantage.
