"That makes sense!" Yuan Shu sat on his horse and said without thinking.

They ran from midnight to dawn before they escaped from Shouchun, this distance was only half an hour's journey for Cao's cavalry, and when Cao's army found out about his escape, a charge could catch up.

But let him throw away dozens of carts and save money and flee alone, he was reluctant, this was the foundation of his life after he arrived in Yecheng.

"Ordered Qiao Rui to lead an army of 2,000, set up an ambush on the top of the mountain on both sides, take more boulders to prepare, if the Cao army chases, roll down the boulders and hit them," Yuan Shu ordered pointing to the hillsides on both sides.

They were in a valley with steep slopes on either side.

If Cao's army chases, he will take the valley bottom path.

At the same time, Qiao Rui pushed down the boulder from both sides, and no matter how elite Cao Jun was, he was also flesh and blood, and under the impact of the boulder, he would inevitably be crushed into flesh.

"No!"

Qiao Rui clenched his fists and led 2,000 soldiers to climb to the top of the mountain to pick up stones.

Yuan Shu was well arranged, and let Ji Ling lead the remaining 1,000 soldiers and hundreds of Yulin troops to escort him and continue to move forward.

No matter what, having Ji Ling by his side to protect him can also make him feel a little more at ease.

……

At the suggestion of Zhou Yu, Sun Ce led his troops to chase them out in the direction of Qingzhou.

After only ten miles of travel, they found the clue.

The dirt road was littered with footprints and deep ruts, and strips of silk cloth were found hanging from time to time on the thorns on the roadside.

"Yuan Shu is so arrogant and lascivious?"

Sun Ce looked at the strips of silk cloth hanging on the thorns, and knew that he was chasing the right direction.

This is obviously a woman's clothes were accidentally hung up, and only the concubines of Yuan Shu can afford to wear clothes of this material in the Lianghuai area.

Sun Ce sneered: "After all of them have come to such a field, they are reluctant to abandon his group of women, they deserve to be chased by me." ”

"Bo Fu, something is wrong," at this time, Zhou Yu squatted on the ground, looking at those footprints, and made a contemplative gesture.

"What's wrong?" Sun Ce asked.

"Why are there so many footprints here?"

They followed the rutted footprints all the way, but when they chased here, the footprints increased significantly.

Zhou Yu stood up, looked around, and suddenly pointed to an open space in front of him and said: "Bo Fu, you see, there seem to be traces of troops stationed over there, and it seems that Yuan Shu still has a military army here." ”

Sun Ce took a closer look, and sure enough, looking at the scale, it seemed that there were still a lot of soldiers.

He originally wanted to lead a light horse to chase after him, which would be much faster, but at this time, he suddenly found that Yuan Shu had left a group of soldiers and horses, and he didn't dare to attack rashly.

After all, he didn't have many cavalry, and his father was brave and brave, leading the army to advance, but he was ambushed by Huang Zu and killed by an arrow, he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

"This rut is quite deep, it can be seen that Yuan Shu carries a lot, and he also carries a lot of women, it is bound to be difficult to go fast, everyone follows, follow me!" Sun Ce commanded loudly.

"No!"

The army, led by Sun Ce, had the cavalry in front and the infantry in the rear, and began to march rapidly.

Even if Yuan Shu still had a soldier and horse in his hands, he was vulnerable in front of his more than 10,000 soldiers, so why did he take such a risk and attack lightly?

They traveled about two hours until they came to a deep ravine.

"Bo Fu and slow," Zhou Yu stopped Sun Ce, pointed to the slopes on both sides and said: "This place is very dangerous, if Yuan Shu sets up an ambush here, the terrain is not in my favor." ”

Sun Ce looked around, there were two mountains and a ditch here, it was indeed an excellent place to set up an ambush, but he would not be frightened back by the terrain.

"Speed up and get through this valley as soon as possible!"

Before Sun Ce's words fell, he suddenly heard a movement on the mountains on both sides.

Immediately afterwards, countless boulders tumbled down from the mountain, the largest ones were the size of a millstone, and the smaller ones were as big as tables and chairs.

The slope of the hill was already extremely steep, and so many boulders rolled faster and faster, rushing to the bottom of the valley, and the rumbling sound was like thunder.

The Sun army at the bottom of the valley was suddenly frightened and chaotic, they were all flesh and blood, how could they resist the crushing of the boulder?

It's just that there are boulders rolling down on both sides of the hillside, and these soldiers want to dodge but have nowhere to hide.

The generals are no better, although they are stronger than ordinary soldiers, but they are not so big that they can pick up the boulders that roll down, and they are quickly smashed and injured several times.

Seeing that there were so many dead and wounded generals, Sun Ce screamed angrily, pointed his spear at the hillside, and said loudly: "Don't panic, follow me to kill." ”

"Bo Fu can't, retreat quickly!"

Seeing that Sun Ce was about to attack desperately, Zhou Yu next to him hurriedly stopped him.

These more than 10,000 men and horses are all the strength of their Jiangdong, and now they have suffered a lot of casualties, and if they attack the mountain, they don't know how much loss there is.

Now there are still many tribes in the hands of the wealthy clans in Jiangdong who are enemies with them, and in order to catch Yuan Shu, they have lost so many soldiers and soldiers, which is really not worth it.

"If we don't leave, we will be wiped out, so we will withdraw from the valley first."

Sun Ce was dizzy just now, and after being reminded by Zhou Yu, he suddenly came to his senses and shouted: "Retreat, retreat!" ”

With his order, the soldiers who were lucky enough not to be hit retreated like a tide.

But those who were smashed could not dodge, and could only watch them being rolled down by the boulder and crushed into pulp.

Sun Ce finally led the army out of the valley, counted it, and only half of the more than 10,000 military horses he brought escaped, and most of them were wounded.

One by one, the soldiers survived, sitting on the ground in embarrassment, gasping for breath.

Sun Ce had never suffered such a big loss since he led the troops, and his eyes couldn't help but burst, and he ordered: "Count the number of people, and those who are not injured, follow me to kill them from both sides, and break this ambush army into ten thousand pieces." ”

They were at a disadvantage in the valley, but climbing the mountain from both sides allowed them to go directly to the ambush.

"Bo Fu, don't fight anymore, now that there are heavy casualties and low morale of the soldiers, even if you can kill all the ambush soldiers, how can you still have the strength to chase Yuan Shu?" Zhou Yu persuaded bitterly beside him.

Normally, Sun Ce obeyed Zhou Yu's words, but now that most of the soldiers have been lost, Sun Ce has already been angry, and if Yuan Shu has not been caught, this trip will be a big loss.

"Gongjin, you don't have to persuade me, if you don't take revenge, I'm uneasy, follow me!"

……

Qiao Rui, who was ambushed on the mountain, never dreamed that he would repel so many pursuers with 2,000 soldiers.

Ever since their Yuan forces were attacked, they had always lost more than they were, and now he had finally commanded a battle in which they won more with less, and they had no losses, and they had killed more than 5,000 people.

"General, the chasing soldiers have retreated, let's go and chase the lord," the deputy general said happily: "The lord will have a heavy reward at that time." ”

"This is the reason why the princes used their lives," Qiao Rui led the soldiers to move the stones just now, but it did a miracle.

"If the lord has a reward, I will not do you any wrong."

At this time, Sun Ce led the men and horses and quietly touched him from behind......
