Chapter 867

In the dead of night, a raging fire consumed the mountain. Not until dawn did Cheng Dalei and his entourage finally break through the encirclement of the Rong Clan.

Followed closely by the Rong Clan, both sides clashed several times. After making a large loop through the mountain woods, they finally shook off the Rong Clan pursuit.

By noon, the group took a temporary rest beside a stream. Cheng Dalei sat on a stone and asked, "What's the situation now?"

The faces of Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and the others were not looking great. Guan Yu said, "We lost seven or eight hundred brothers, and now we're down to a little over a thousand. Some of the brothers are also injured, some quite seriously."

Cheng Dalei looked around. The surviving men gathered by the stream to drink water and soften their dry rations with the cool stream water. Those with knife and arrow wounds had managed to patch themselves up and were in dire need of medical treatment.
