Chapter 116: Kill slowly
Sun Ce is much more proud than Ma Qing imagined. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the age of seventeen, he has fought on the battlefield with his father, and has experienced more than 100 battle formations, sometimes arranging troops to attack cities, and sometimes being invincible with a single horse, how many long-known veterans in the world have been his opponents?
The tiger generals under Liu Bei, such as Wei Yan and Huang Zhong, fought with him in Jiangxiakou, and they were able to hold their own offensive and became famous all over the world...... Since Wu County came out, he has not suffered a rout for more than ten years, and who in the world can do such a record?
became famous at a young age, and the only person in the world who can compare with him is the pseudo Yuzhou Muma Dai in Liangguo, who can Sun Ce's eyes tolerate?
If the opponent is the same worldly handsome Ma Dai, it will be fine...... The little pony who was killed by Zhou Tai alone on the shore of Pengze Lake dared to block his retreat?
Just when the news that Jiangdong was attacked and captured by Gan Ning, the commander of the Liangguo Naval Army, by sea reached the Jiangdong army, in the face of the grief of the generals in the camp, Sun Ce also said angrily: "What are you afraid of, isn't it that a few cities have been captured in the south, and we have also captured more cities in Xuzhou, and when our soldiers and horses come back to help, they will hear the wind and surrender, come from the sea, go by sea!" ”
Sun Ce is not blindly arrogant, after Jiangdong was captured by Gan Ning in Wudi, as Sun Ce said, he surrendered when he heard the wind, and the reason for this Sun Ce is very clear...... Their army is outside, and people have lost their sense of security, so they naturally want to surrender.
But when he or his father led the troops back to Wu, those people would regain their sense of security and have the courage to fight.
After a few hurried words, symbolically stabilizing the morale of the army, Sun Ce rushed with anger and ordered to storm the city of Jiqiu in Langya State, that is, the city that Xu Huang personally guarded.
But the effect is ...... It is not obvious that the Jiangdong Army's already chaotic military spirit is not something that Xiaobawang can quickly find back with his personal prestige.
What's more, their rear grain route has been completely blocked by the Liang State Naval Division, and batches of grain and grass are stagnant in the port on the south bank of the Yangtze River to feed the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom...... This is the same as letting his daughter-in-law let other men sleep, Jiangdong soldiers thought of this, where can they still be happy?
If you don't have enough food and strength, you can't run thousands of miles of horses, let alone let the Jiangdong men go to the city to fight.
The last angry little overlord personally went into battle, but he was pressed down by Liang Guoqiang's crossbow, and he was hit in the shoulder, and the angry Sun Ce sulked in the camp for two days.
"Bo Fu, it's not a way to go on like this." Tai Shici, who had a mighty and handsome face, opened the camp tent, and said in the first sentence that Sun Ce didn't like to hear, "Today, each song reported to the fugitives, and there are more than 60 of them, and we will consume them in Qiucheng again, and when the army's spirit is exhausted, Xu Gongming will lead the crowd to rush and we will disperse...... Let's go back, and drive the people of Liangguo back to the sea from Wu Land before making plans. ”
It's too Shi Ci, if someone else talks to Sun Ce like this, Sun Celi who is angry won't pay attention, but Tai Shi Ci is different.
The two of them have fought side by side for too long, and they have also cherished heroes for too long, just like the relationship between Ma Yue and Ma Yue, they are confidants.
It doesn't even have to do with bravery, it has nothing to do with identity, just having similar interests wins all!
Tai Shici's words, Sun Ce listened.
But he just felt bitter in his heart, like eating a handful of freshly dried salt powder.
Sun Ce didn't necessarily have to capture Jiqiu City, he was just trying to fight for a breath.
"Ziyi, my hometown has been captured by the enemy, do you understand?" Sun Ce rarely shows such a sad emotion in front of others, usually in the eyes of others, he is the majestic Jiangdong little overlord, but now he can't calm himself down, "I understand that we should withdraw, there is no food and grass, no morale, and even no home...... But I, but I'm just unwilling! I hate it! ”
Sun Ce's eyes were red, he clenched his teeth tightly to control his emotions, and his hands that were lying on several cases even pressed out dents on several cases.
"I understand, Bo Fu, I understand how you feel in your heart." Tai Shi Ci sighed, he was nine years older than Sun Ce, they were confidants, and they were like brothers, he understood Sun Ce's feelings at this moment, "I owe Jiangdong's debt, and sooner or later I have to ask them back, don't rush this time!" ”
Tai Shi Ci understands Sun Ce's temperament too well, and his title of Jiangdong Little Overlord is not called out for nothing.
Sun Bofu is as brave as an overlord and as bold as an overlord, but the same ...... is also as upright as an overlord.
The overlord Wujiang killed himself, and he was shameless to face Jiangdong's fathers.
Sun Ce attacked Jiqiu, and he didn't have the face to return to Jiangdong to face the people who trusted them!
Sun Ce didn't say anything more, in fact, it was difficult for a man like him to listen to what others said to him, whether it was a strategy or a suggestion.
He is too strong and too smart, and he has figured out a lot of things at the beginning, but the big husband has something to do, and the big husband has not done something.
Many of the two choices placed in front of others have only one in front of Sun Bofu...... The hard one.
"Brother Ziyi, give the order, regroup and feint again, withdraw the southern camp fence tonight, leave behind the heavy baggage, and retreat south with only armaments and grain and grass." Sun Ce stood up and looked at the map behind him, slowly rolled up and said to Tai Shici: "Brother, I will leave it to you after this break, and order Zhou Tai to send a sentry to investigate the defense of the local chickens and dogs of the prince of Liangguo." ”
Sun Ce, it's finally decided to withdraw the troops!
……
Even the mentality of a general like Sun Ce, who won nine victories in ten battles, was greatly affected, not to mention the ordinary soldiers of the Jiangbei Expeditionary Army?
In this war, from the beginning of Guan Cheng's siege of Chaisang and Sun Quan's sending reinforcements, Jiangdong has already failed.
The commanders are extremely capable and the soldiers are very well trained...... It's not much different, it's nothing more than food and military morale.
However, without a highly capable general, mediocre talents can still fight a decent battle, and without elite soldiers, they can still find an opportunity to fight an ambush battle.
Without the will to fight, without food, what war can be fought?
Every step Sun Ce took fell on Ma Qing's heart, and he couldn't be more accurate.
Ma Qing said that Sun Ce would arrive in at least five days, and the sentry cavalry sent back the news the next night that the army was slowly withdrawing south.
Ma Qing said that Sun Ce was so proud that he didn't regard him as an equal opponent at all, and then the sentry cavalry returned, Sun Ce retreated very slowly, and the rear army held a firm foothold, even if he walked out of Jiqiu City thirty miles, he still speared backwards, for fear that Xu Huang would chase him out of the city.
But to the front, Sun Ce sprinkled twenty sentry horses, and then ran south violently, forcibly marching nearly 100 miles in one day.
His soldiers and horses are not all cavalry!
Although he was homesick, Ma Qing still felt a sense of contempt from the bottom of his heart...... He and Sun Ce are two diametrically opposed people, Sun Ce loves face, fights for breath, and has to fight for victory or loss.
But Ma Qing doesn't love face, doesn't fight with others, and doesn't fight to win or lose.
But in their hearts, the two of them are the same pride of heaven and the same pride.
Ma Qing doesn't care about winning or losing in the process, nor does he care about the face of the overall situation, he only cares about the final victory.
As long as it is him who wins in the end, it doesn't matter to him what happened in between.
Ma Qing sent a group of soldiers and horses, although Mi Fang asked for battle, Ma Qing did not agree, he personally led the troops, and the commander of three thousand light horsemen rushed north, straight to the county.
And later, Dong Yu and Brother Mi Zhu supervised more than 10,000 archers and entered Huaiyin. Mi Fang led the crowd and lay ten miles behind Ma Qing.
Huaiyin is a good place, the north of the city is thirty miles to the county, seven miles to the north, is Huaishui.
Bandu can fight thieves, this sentence is known to children, and Ma Qing will naturally use it...... But how can he make the enemy half-cross?
Take your body as bait.
This is already the safest way for Ma Qing to estimate...... To be honest, he didn't know the bottom of his own heart about Sun Ce's subordinates. Sun Ce stationed tens of thousands of troops in the north of Xuzhou, and he did not have an advantage in terms of strength alone. But Sun Ce was arrogant, and led the infantry and cavalry to march quickly, if he did not camp in the middle of the army, only a third of his men and horses would follow him, and if he divided the enemy into Bandu.
Attacking more than 4,000 mourning soldiers with 13,000 recruits, you should be able to agree, right?
Ma Qing led the army, separated by more than ten miles from Sun Ce's department, and met.
Without hesitation, Ma Qing immediately ordered his soldiers to charge towards Sun Ce, but he carefully avoided Sun Ce, and he could not be Sun Ce's opponent before his body was fully formed...... What's more, the life of the prince of Liangguo is much more expensive than others!
Briefly rushed to kill, both sides were killed and wounded by each other, but in general, the casualties on Ma Qing's side were larger, and Ma Qing suddenly gave an order at the time of half a pillar of incense, and the whole army retreated.
Sun Ce did not pursue, and it was not until Ma Qing escaped for nearly ten miles that Sun Ce ordered a pursuit.
He didn't want to kill Ma Qing here, if it was him, he would set up an ambush on the way, but Ma Qing didn't look back, and immediately retreated if he missed the blow, and it was really a rout, and he didn't turn back at all, which made Sun Ce feel at ease to pursue.
This chase was chased to the bank of the Huaishui River.
Ma Qing crossed the water, the boats were all on the opposite shore, Sun Ce had no way to be in a hurry, hated himself for delaying the fighter, if he was not worried that Ma Qing had ambushes, he was afraid that he would be beheaded on the north bank of Huaishui!
Ship to cross the river, all the small walks were built in a short period of time, Ma Qing soldiers and horses stationed in Huaiyin City, it seems that they plan to defend the city, this time Sun Ce is really relieved, and immediately ordered his subordinates to cross the river at night.
However...... Ma Qing is pretending to do everything, only wanting to kill him is real.
Just when Sun Ce's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses crossed the river for nearly half a year, the opposite bank suddenly erupted with a shouting of killing, and the gate of Huaiyin City opened, and countless Liangguo soldiers rushed towards Sun Ce's front army with swords, and the leader was Dong Yu!
This is not too late, Mi Fang also pressed more than 10,000 steps of bow to kill from the north bank at this time, and the battle on both sides of the strait started at the same time...... It was not the turn of the Sun family to talk about the momentum, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were dumpled by the Liangguo army, and there was no hope of escaping.
On both sides of the riverbank, the soldiers of the east of the river were surrounded by the Liangguo army, which was several times their size, and slowly slaughtered.
