Chapter 718: Reinforcements Arrive Sun Ce withdraws

Zhou Yu's troops soon confronted Liu Jun in Xuzhou.

Liu Jun of Xuzhou, who was ambushed, knew that the news had leaked out, and the actual meaning of the ambush no longer existed, so he simply turned from a covert ambush to an open blockade.

The two launched an offensive and defensive battle.

Zhou Yu knew that Liu Jun in Xuzhou would block them, but he didn't expect that the strength of the attack would be so strong, so strong that Zhou Yu actually chose to give up and retreat for a while.

The Jiangdong Army was in a hurry to come to the rescue, so the attack was very strong. However, the Liu army in Xuzhou occupied a favorable terrain, and the preparations for long-range attacks such as feather arrows were very sufficient, and they were all fed with poison, which made the Jiangdong army suffer a big loss.

As the commander of the reinforcements, Zhou Yu almost got hit.

After the Jiangdong army retreated, Tai Shici said on Zhou Yu's side: "Dudu, these feather arrows are all fed with poison, if they are shot, the consequences will be unimaginable. The lord was calculated by the enemy along the way, and finally let the last general come back for help. ”

"It seems that there is a cold and vicious person in Liu Jun in Xuzhou, and this is to kill the lord!" Zhou Yu said with a cold face.

Tai Shi Ci said anxiously: "Then what should I do?" The lord must be in danger now. Our army is now held back by these people. ”

Zhou Yu glanced at Liu Jun opposite, the corners of his mouth rose, and said, "Stop us?" That's because they take it for granted! Order archers, rockets and torches to get ready! Pontus will burn them! ”

When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he glanced at the terrain on the opposite side again, and immediately understood, and said with a smile: "The governor is smart!" The end will be ready for this! ”

The current weather is hot and humid, and the Liu army in Xuzhou occupies a favorable terrain, and naturally has a large number of woods and trees as a cover, and this is precisely the key to Zhou Yu's victory. As long as the grass and trees were set on fire, then the soldiers of the Liu army would either retreat or be burned to death.

The rockets of the Jiangdong Army were on standing, but there were not many of them. Rockets are very cumbersome to make, and the conditions for use are limited, and they can no longer be used in windy, rainy and foggy weather. Otherwise, it will shoot out, and it will be extinguished in mid-air. Usually, it has to be guarded by a special person, and if you are not careful, it will all be wasted. The Jiangdong Army is good at water warfare, and it often uses rockets to deal with enemy ships, so it will have regular preparations for rockets.

Torches are different, just find a piece of wood, wrap a rag around it, get some oil, light it and you're ready to go.

The Jiangdong army was quickly prepared according to Zhou Yu's instructions.

"Damn, Jiangdong Dog actually attacked with fire!" As soon as he saw the other party put on this posture, the chief general of Liu Jun's department who blocked the attack immediately scolded his mother.

"General Zhou, what should we do!?" A soldier said hurriedly.

The master in charge of the ambush is the famous Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang was originally a Yellow Turban Party, and he has always wandered in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and usually makes a living by robbing houses and houses. When Cao Cao ruled Yanzhou, he vigorously cracked down on the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and cracked down on thieves. Zhou Cang couldn't get mixed up in Yanzhou, so he ran to Xuzhou. Zhou Cang thought that the generals in Xuzhou were incompetent, and he could continue to be free. But who would have thought that Xuzhou would not be overcame by Liu Yu for a long time. Liu Yu was more ruthless than Cao Cao, and many of the thieves who robbed homes were exiled for waste use. Zhou Cang could only go incognito.

Zhou Cang had no other way to make a living with his own force, and his life was very poor. Zhou Cang didn't know what he was going to do in the future, and wondered if he was going to leave Xuzhou to continue his life of robbing houses in other places.

There is no endless road, and when Zhou Cang wanted to leave Xuzhou, Liu Yu began to recruit troops. Zhou Cang felt that this was his chance, and Liu Yu was very good to the soldiers and the people, Zhou Cang felt that it should not be bad to follow Liu Yu.

Regardless of that era, recruitment was based on physical fitness. Zhou Cang was quickly hired. As for the history of Zhou Cang, it is not a big deal at all. In these years, many people have been forced by life to do things that they were not willing to do. The person in charge of recruiting also said that His Majesty has made a decree that all those who participate in the army will be brushed off with all the previous black history. If it is still the same as before in the army, then there is naturally military law to deal with it.

To be able to be good, Zhou Cang is 10,000 willing, and he is even more hardworking.

Zhou Cang started as a small soldier, and Liu Yujun did not have an upright background like other armies, and everything relied on military merit. Zhou Cang became the main general of one step at a time.

Now he is even more valued by his superiors and sent to block Zhou Cang. It can be seen how much Zhou Cang's superiors trust Zhou Cang's ability.

It's just that Zhou Cang is now facing the resourceful Zhou Yu, and his strength is a bit out of contrast.

Before Zhou Cang could react, there was already a move on the other side.

"Set fire!" Zhou Yu gave an order, and the Jiangdong Army launched rockets and torches.

Instead of running towards Liu Jun, the rockets and torches landed in the grass and trees beside them.

"Extinguish the fire!" Zhou Cang hurriedly shouted.

There is no need to be told, Liu Jun's soldiers also know what to do. However, there were too many rockets and torches in the Jiangdong Army, especially torches, and it was too late to extinguish the fire.

God also made a joke on Liu Jun, and at this time, a strong wind was blowing, and it was still blowing at Liu Jun.

"God help me!" Zhou Yu laughed.

Liu Jun's soldiers are really hard, who is this God on, his own side is the king's master, representing orthodoxy.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger by the wind, and it is no longer possible to extinguish it by manpower.

"Withdraw, you'll only be burned here!" General Liu Jun could only give this order.

The soldiers of the Liu army were relieved, it was too late to retreat now, otherwise it would be a little more night, or they would be put out by fire, or the Jiangdong army would beat the water dogs.

The Liu army retreated quickly, and they were very worried that the Jiangdong army would come to kill, so they first took advantage of the fire to buy some time.

The Lord General said angrily: "I will never forget this failure. Zhou Yu, although it may have been one family five hundred years ago, we have settled this enmity! ”

The two Zhou families formed a bond here. Maybe Zhou Cang and Zhou Yu really belong to the same ancestor. If they were really an ancestor, would their ancestors have any thoughts when they saw this?

Zhou Yu saw Liu Jun who escaped by fire, and sighed in his heart that the main general on the opposite side was still very smart, knowing that he could not pursue by taking advantage of the situation to evacuate.

"Governor, are we going to chase after us?!" Tai Shici asked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "There's no need." The enemy forces that blocked the attack had already left. Now that there is a fire in the way, we all want to pursue it to no avail. And we are now going to the Savior, and there is no time to waste. ”

"The last general obeys!" Tai Shi Ci knew the seriousness of the matter, so he did exactly what Zhou Yu told him.

The Liu army, which had blocked the front, withdrew, and Zhou Yu hurriedly led his troops through here quickly, and they were now going to rescue Sun Ce. Zhou Yu was really worried about what Sun Ce was like now.

What Zhou Yu was worried about still happened.

When the Jiangdong Army was advancing, another group of soldiers who came out to ask for help photographed by Sun Ce had already met Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu learned from them that Sun Ce's current situation was very critical, and he had also encountered the other party's calculations and was poisoned.

"The whole army picked up, and the cavalry followed Pontus first. Ziyi, you take the rear army to hurry up and keep up! I think that Liu Jun may have more troops rushing towards the lord's side, and we must get to the lord before they do, so that the lord can evacuate safely. Zhou Yu immediately made proper arrangements.

"The last general understands that the governor can be one step ahead." Tai Shi Ci hurriedly agreed.

Zhou Yu immediately led the cavalry to Sun Ce's location, and of course he also brought a few guides.

At this time, Zhou Tai and Gao Ran had been fighting for many rounds.

The two really felt each other's strength. Zhou Tai felt that Gao Ran was worthy of being Yuan Shao's right-hand man before, and his strength alone was so terrifying.

Even Sun Ce, who was watching from the outside, had to admire Gao Ran for being one of the four court pillars in Hebei, and he really lived up to his reputation.

That's not the case with Gao Ran. Gao Ran is a general who has been famous for a long time, and now he has been beaten to a draw by an unknown Zhou Tai, if it is passed out, how will he mix under Liu Yu. Originally, he was a little weak in Liu Yu's army, and now that he hasn't cleaned up Zhou Tai for so long, what will Liu Yu think, is a general who can't make contributions worthy of Liu Yu's reuse? What Liu Yu thinks, Gao Ran doesn't know. Gao Ran just knew that if Zhou Tai was not done now, it would be very troublesome to delay the time.

But Zhou Tai's life-for-life style of play made Gao Ran very restricted, no matter what he wanted, it was okay to kill Zhou Tai, but Gao Ran was definitely half dead. If he was seriously injured, Sun Ce's chances of wanting to leave increased greatly.

"If I knew that this was the case, wouldn't it be better not to drag out the fight with this kid just now, and just wave the army to kill him." Gao Ran is now regretting it to death.

Zhou Tai just had the intention of delaying time, and at first Zhou Tai felt that he could solve Gao Ran. But Gao Ran's style of play is very steady, Zhou Tai deliberately exposed flaws several times, and Gao Ran was not fooled.

The two have been fighting for so long, but they haven't come out with a single winner.

At this time, there was a rush sound not far from Sun Ce's side. Sun Ce and Zhou Tai were overjoyed, that direction was the direction they came from, that is to say, eighty or ninety percent of their reinforcements had arrived.

"Haha, Gao Ran, you're dead. Our reinforcements are coming. Zhou Tai smiled, and he was not idle at hand, and continued to attack Gao Ran.

Gao Ran countered: "Don't be too happy! Maybe it's our reinforcements, and then Lao Tzu will kill you! ”

In fact, it didn't take long for the two to argue, and a big Jiangdong banner with the word "Zhou" appeared.

"It's Gong Jin, the whole army obeys the order and moves closer to Gong Jin!" Sun Ce saw that it was Zhou Yu's banner and knew that he was safe now.

The Jiangdong army all became vigorous and rushed towards Zhou Yu's direction at great speed. A few soldiers lifted Sun Ce up and left, but now he was poisoned, and he couldn't exercise vigorously at all, so he could only let the soldiers carry him away.

Seeing Sun Ce fleeing, Gao Ran was anxious, it was actually a reinforcement from the Jiangdong Army, and he really wasted his time just now.

"Assault of the whole army! Don't let Sun Ce run away! When Gao Ran was fighting with Zhou Tai, he gave an order in time.

The troops brought by Gao Ran all obeyed Gao Ran's orders and killed Sun Ce.

"Your grandmother, you're unreasonable. We haven't decided yet! You're still unruly! Zhou Tai scolded, and then slashed at Gao Ran's gun.

Gao Ran was reluctant to entangle with Zhou Taiduo, so he suddenly used his greatest strength to push Zhou Tai away, and then frantically stabbed Zhou Tai countless times.

When Zhou Tai was pushed away, he knew that Gao Ran was going to fight hard, and now that the reinforcements have arrived, Zhou Tai will not fight with Gao Ran even if he is not afraid of death, and it is the king to join the army in time.

"Gao Ran, I won't play with you anymore! Let's go! Zhou Tai took advantage of the trend of being pushed away by Gao Lan, and then quickly turned his horse's head and left, and suddenly distanced himself from Gao Lan.

"Shameless!" Gao Ran habitually took out his own short crossbow, but unfortunately the short crossbow had been used before, and there was no way to use it now.

Gao Ran was furious, and then rushed to Sun Ce's headquarters with his own troops, and he vowed to keep Sun Ce behind. If you lose this opportunity, you don't know if you will be able to meet Sun Ce next time.

The Jiangdong Army ran again with all their might, and finally met Zhou Yu's forward troops.

Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce, whose face was a little pale, and immediately flew off the horse, helped Sun Ce, and said in shock: "Bofu, how are you?" ”

"Gong Jin, it's okay! I was just calculated by the villain and suffered a little injury! It's not a big deal! It's just that Gong Jin came all the way, and he was a little disgraced! Sun Ce, who was pale, said with a smile.

Zhou Yu really wanted to give Sun Ce a slap, but he still had time to joke at this time.

"Quick, leave with the lord first!" Zhou Yu hurriedly asked a knight to carry Sun Ce on his back and carry his war horse back, leaving here to join Tai Shici, and at the same time there was a cavalry team to protect Sun Ce's safety.

Zhou Yu wanted to stay here to stop Liu Jun and give Sun Ce time to leave safely. Sun Ce is clear about this, but his stay here now is a drag, and it is better to let Zhou Yu arrange it.

When Sun Ce left, he said, "Gong Jin, don't be too strong. There must be reinforcements on the other side. You have to come back soon, too. ”

"You can rest assured to go back and recuperate, leave it to me here!" Zhou Yu said with a firm face.

The knight left quickly with Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu also ordered all the soldiers to turn around and confront the Liu army who came to pursue.

"Gongjin, you must come back alive. Otherwise, your little Joe will be widowed. Sun Ce's voice suddenly came.

Zhou Yu almost fell off his horse, his eyes were filled with tears, he had done evil in his previous life, so he would be brothers with Sun Ce, an unserious person.

Where is this still said at this time?
