When the Guangling army was pursuing very smoothly, I saw another smoke and dust rolling in front of me, and the smoke and dust soon came to the front of the soldiers and horses on both sides, and the soldiers of the two armies looked at each other, only to see that the coming army turned out to be another Jiangdong soldier and horse, with a "yellow" flag on the head.

It turned out that after Sun Quan led the army away, Yu Chuan was still a little unstable in his heart, so he went to persuade Sun Ce and asked him to send another general to command 5,000 soldiers and horses as a response!

Sun Ce heard Yu Xuan's persuasion, and his heart was also a little drummed, he was a little worried about Sun Quan's safety, so he sent the veteran Huang Gai to lead 5,000 troops to meet Sun Quan, this army set off half a day later than Sun Quan's army, so it was not until now that they arrived here.

However, as the old saying goes, it is better to come early than to come by chance, Huang Gai led the army to arrive at this time, although it was too late to prevent the defeat of the Jiangdong army, but it was able to block the Guangling chasing army and save Sun Quan!

The pursuers of the Guangling army saw that another Jiangdong army was coming, and immediately stopped the pace of pursuit, and the Jiangdong army soldiers saw their own reinforcements coming, and hurriedly galloped towards the soldiers and horses, and the Jiangdong army that came to help saw that their 20,000 troops were defeated in just half a day, and they all hurriedly lined up to prepare to intercept the pursuers.

The generals of the Guangling army discussed for a while, although the reinforcements of the Jiangdong army were few, but this batch of soldiers and horses was a new force, plus the elite soldiers of the Jiangdong army were brave and good at field warfare, and although they had many soldiers, most of them had been fighting hard for half a day, and now they had chased and killed the Jiangdong army for more than ten miles, and now they were already a little tired and tired, if they continued to fight with the Jiangdong army, they might turn victory into defeat, so that Guangling City was in danger of falling into the city. Now that they have defeated 20,000 Jiangdong troops, and pursued and killed for more than ten miles, the Jiangdong army has suffered countless losses, and the results are enough, and there is no need to take risks again!

After the generals of the Guangling army made up their minds, they hurriedly conveyed the military order to retreat, and after the officers and men of the Guangling army heard the military order, they all formed a battle formation and began to slowly retreat in the direction of Guangling City.

The Jiangdong Army is waving the banner of the word 'yellow', and the general who comes to help is the veteran Huang Gai, who is at a loss at this time!

Since Sun Ce raised his troops to cross the river, the Jiangdong Army has not passed the precedent of a half-day defeat of 20,000 troops, and Huang Gai has been completely confused after seeing the defeat of his own army, what the hell is going on? How could his own army be defeated by the Guangling soldiers and horses, could it be that Yuan Yao Xiao'er teamed up with Guangling Chen Deng to ambush his Jiangdong soldiers and horses?

After Huang Gai saw the facts in front of him, he didn't believe that it was Guangling Chen Deng who defeated his 20,000 elite soldiers in Jiangdong, and thought that Yuan Yao had participated in the battle and cooperated with the soldiers and horses of Guangling County to ambush his own army. Huang Gai didn't know the military situation at this time, and he didn't dare to pursue rashly, after seeing that the Guangling soldiers and horses were retreating and no longer pursuing, he hurriedly ordered his personal guards to find a few defeated generals, wanting to ask about the details of the battle and Sun Quan's safety.

Huang Gai's personal guards searched for a moment and found two defeated military captains, and the two came to Huang Gai's side and hurriedly bowed: "I'll wait to see General Huang!" ”

Huang Gai glanced at the two people who were extremely embarrassed when they lost their armor, and his heart was full of anger, but these two people were the lieutenants of Chen Wu and Xu Sheng, and he was not good at reprimanding them on his behalf. Huang Gai snorted coldly, and asked with a cold face: "Tell me, what happened, the itinerary of our troops and horses and the front army is only half a day apart, why are you so defeated!" ”

The two glanced at each other, and one of them replied loudly: "General Hui, the defeat in this battle is not my fault!" I waited for this battle to fight hard and move forward desperately, without the slightest greed for life and fear of death, but just when our army was about to break the city, countless Guangling army ambushes were killed outside the city! The Guangling army ambushed the soldiers first swept and defeated our army's main formation, and then the army went out to attack our army's siege soldiers, we were defenseless and just retreated from the city wall and were scattered by the chaotic army, there was really no way, so we could only rout with the army! ”

Another lieutenant also bowed and said, "Yes, General Huang, this battle is not my fault!" As soon as we were about to break the city, an ambush came out of the city, and the general Ming Jin collected his troops, and we immediately led the army to retreat from the city wall. Unexpectedly, as soon as we retreated from the city wall, the soldiers and horses of this formation have been defeated, and the ambush soldiers outside the city and the defenders inside the city attacked us on both sides, and we had no time to react to form a battle in formation, and they have been dispersed by the enemy. ”

The defeat of the army is like a mountain, and when the army is defeated, this is not at all something that can be stopped by manpower.

Huang Gai listened to the words of the two, his face softened a little, and then asked: "My Jiangdong soldiers have few opponents, even if the Guangling army has ambush soldiers, the strength is roughly only comparable to our army, why did its army defeat our army's main formation so quickly, so that Er and the others didn't have time to take precautions?" Could it be that the Guangling army is brave and brave, if so, Guangling Chen Deng should be my Jiangdong enemy! ”

The two defeated captains looked at each other again, and the second captain who spoke just now replied: "The general doesn't know anything, and there are only ...... in our army in this battle."

When the lieutenant said this, Nini muttered no more, Huang Gai glanced at this person coldly, and shouted angrily: "Don't you say it quickly, do you still want to lie to me?" If you dare to hesitate any longer, I will draw my sword and behead you, and see if Chen Wu and Xu Sheng dare to seek justice from the old man for you! ”

This captain also knew that Huang Gai was a general who had followed the Sun clan in the southern and northern wars since the Sun Jian period, Huang Gai and others were loyal to the Sun clan, and Sun Ce also had great respect for Huang Gai and others, not to mention that Huang Gai drew his sword and beheaded him a defeated military captain who lost his troops and lost his generals, even if he didn't sin Huang Gai drew his sword and killed him, Sun Ce might not ask Huang Gai for his guilt, and Chen Wu and Xu Sheng didn't dare to stab him!

Facing the threat of life and death, the captain replied urgently: "The general doesn't know, almost all of my 20,000 troops are attacking the city with all their might, and there are only 2,000 soldiers and horses left in the army's main formation!" ”

"The Guangling army ambushed thousands of iron cavalry swept from the rear of our army, and our army rushed to meet the enemy, and it was impossible to stop the momentum of thousands of iron cavalry, and in a moment the heads of the killed people scattered and fled! After the Guangling army ambushed and dispersed the main army, they immediately killed us, and after we retreated from the city wall, there was no foothold at all, and the soldiers could not form a formation to meet the enemy, so they could only flee in all directions for the battle! I'm incompetent, and I ask the general to punish him! ”

Huang Gai heard that his own army was only garrisoned by 2,000 soldiers and horses, and thousands of iron cavalry from Guangling County were killed from the rear of the military formation. After the army of their own army was scattered by the enemy's iron cavalry, the soldiers who besieged the city just retreated from the city wall, and before they had time to form a formation, they were killed by the enemy army to the front, one side with a great victory morale like a rainbow, and one side suddenly ambushed the foothold is not stable.

Huang Gai was stunned for a moment, and sighed lamentingly: "Hey! The lone army went deep into the unknown military situation, and the army only had 2,000 soldiers and horses left in the main formation, so careless and suddenly ambushed, it is strange that this battle is undefeated! Even if the second general was in a hurry to make contributions, then why were Zilie and Wen Xiang so confused!! It shouldn't, it shouldn't,......"

The two lieutenants listened to Huang Gai talking to themselves there, constantly complaining about the second brother of the lord, Sun Quan, and their own general, Chen Wu and Xu Sheng, and hurriedly lowered their heads and didn't dare to say any more, Huang Gai is the old man of the Sun family, and has made countless military exploits for the Sun family, even if there are some disrespectful words, others will not care, but if they dare to listen to the rumors, it is really not far from death!

The two of them are now eager to become deaf immediately, don't hear these words, fortunately, Huang Gai was worried about Sun Quan's safety, and he didn't complain for a long time, so he listened to Huang Zhong continue: "This battle is indeed not your fault, but when you retire from the army, can you see the whereabouts of the second general?" How is the second general safe now? ”

When a lieutenant was retreating, he barely heard something, and hurriedly replied: "General Hui, the second general withdrew from the battlefield before us, and there are many guards around him to protect him, so he should not encounter danger!" ”

Huang Zhong was relieved when he heard that Sun Quan had withdrawn from the battlefield safely, if Sun Quan died in Guangling City, then this matter would be a big deal!

Huang Gai pondered for a moment and ordered: "Send the order to go down and line up on the spot to defend yourself, and while collecting the defeated army, send light cavalry to find the traces of the second general and General Chen and General Xu, and if you find them, quickly bring them here to meet me!" Okay, you two go down too, and go and cooperate with our soldiers to collect the defeated army! ”

"No, I'll take the order!"

When the two lieutenants and Lieutenant General Huang Gai heard Huang Gai's military order, they hurriedly agreed to the order to go to the arrangement, and while collecting the defeated army, they went to find news of Sun Quan and them.

The light cavalry in the Huang Gai army came out together, and the news that the Huang Gai army had gathered the defeated army here had also come out, and Sun Quan and the three of them also deliberately led the defeated army to this side, and the light cavalry in the Huang Gai army quickly found the traces of Sun Quan and the three of them, and the light cavalry of the army found Sun Quan and the three of them, and quickly brought them back to the army to meet Huang Gai!

Huang Gai saw Sun Quan and the three of them coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and said, "The last general, Huang Zhong, to meet the second son!" ”

Sun Quan hurriedly took a few steps forward, helped Huang Gai up, and said, "Fortunately, the general led the army to rescue him, otherwise Quan would be in danger!" ”

Chen Wu and Xu Sheng also hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "I'll wait to meet General Huang!" ”

Huang Gai glanced at Chen Wu and Xu Sheng, snorted coldly, and shouted: "The second prince is a little careless in leading the army for the first time, are you also unconquered?" Why is it so careless under Guangling City, there are only 2,000 soldiers and horses left in the main army, fortunately the second son is safe and sound, otherwise if the second son has a mistake, how will you go to the main bus to !! ”

Sun Quan is Sun Ce's second brother, Chen Wu and Xu Sheng can't say that Sun Quan is not, and the responsibility for the defeat is put on Sun Quan's body, hearing this, he can only bow his head in shame and did not speak, Sun Quan saw this, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General Huang, don't blame Zilie and Wen Xiang, when attacking the city, they have already persuaded me, let me leave some more soldiers and horses just in case!" It was only because I was humiliated and angry by Chen Deng and did not listen to their good words that this led to this big defeat! ”

After Sun Quan finished speaking, he turned to look at Chen Wu and Xu Sheng, and said, "Brother, I will explain the situation to him, this battle is my fault, and it is not your business." The two generals are tired from fighting for a long time, so let's go down and rest first, and by the way, gather the defeated army, reorganize the soldiers and horses, and prepare for another battle! Now that General Huang has led the army to help, our army can recover its combat strength again, the hole cards of the Guangling army have been released, they will no longer be our opponents, this Guangling County is about to be decided! ”

Chen Wu and Xu Sheng had just been defeated at this time, and they were inevitably a little embarrassed in front of Huang Zhong, and when they heard that Sun Quan asked them to go to collect the defeated army and fight again, they suddenly felt happy in their hearts, if they retreated to Jiangdong like this, then the face of the two of them would really be lost! If you can fight Guangling again and capture the land of Guangling County to capture Chen Deng, you can make meritorious service for your crimes, and you can save face when you return to Jiangdong!

When Chen Wu and the others heard this, they bowed down and said: "Nuo, we will receive the order, and we are willing to fight Guangling again with the second general, and we will seize the land of Guangling County and capture Chen Deng, so as to avenge the shame of defeat!" ”

Sun Quan nodded and asked Chen Wu and the others to retreat, looked at Huang Zhong and said, "Thank you uncle for coming to help this time, otherwise I would have to lose my troops and flee back to Jiangdong in defeat!" ”

Huang Gai sighed and said, "Hey! Don't worry too much about Childe, this battle is just because Childe is too eager to make contributions, which made Chen Deng seize the opportunity, if the two sides fight again, he will definitely not be Childe's opponent! ”

When Huang Gai said this, he changed his words and said, "Can Gongzi be sure that the ambush army is only the soldiers and horses of Guangling County?" Is it possible that Yuan Yao and Chen Deng ambushed our army? If that's the case, we'll need to retreat quickly! ”

Sun Quan was slightly stunned, knowing that Huang Gai was thinking too much, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, that ambush army should be the army that Chen Deng sent out to the city two days ago!" Chen Dengpifu took advantage of my Jiangdong's eagerness to capture Guangling, and pretended to send soldiers and horses to meet Yuan Yao, but secretly transferred the soldiers and horses back to ambush outside the city. ”

Huang Gai nodded slightly, and said: "That's good, Chen Dengpifu is really treacherous, fortunately, Yu Yu saw his plan and asked the lord to send reinforcements, otherwise he would really let his treacherous plan succeed!" ”

Sun Quan was slightly stunned and said, "Oh? What's going on? ”

Huang Gai guessed that Chen Deng might calculate that our army persuaded Sun Ce to send reinforcements again and told Sun Quan, Sun Quan sighed and said: "Mr. Zhongxiang is really a talented man, if it weren't for him this time, I am afraid that I will be in danger, and after I return to Jiangdong, I will definitely go to thank Mr. Zhongxiang in person." ”

When Sun Quan said this, he bowed to Huang Gai and said, "General, I plan to rest for one night tonight, and then lead the army back to Guangling tomorrow, I wonder if the general is willing to help me?" ”

Huang Gai was originally sent by Sun Ce to support Sun Quan, and it was impossible for him to sit back and watch Sun Quan's defeat and return to Jiangdong, what else could he do at this time, so he could only bow down and say: "Don't worry, Gongzi will help Gongzi break through Guangling and capture Chen Deng!" ”

。。。。。。

Xuzhou, Guangling County, in Guangling City.

Chen Deng sat on the top of the city, seeing the soldiers and horses who went to pursue and returned so quickly, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, calculating the time, they had only pursued the defeated army in Jiangdong for more than ten miles, I did not order them to stop the pursuit, why did they withdraw and return so quickly, could it be that there were any variables in this?

Chen Deng turned to look at the guards and said, "Quickly send someone to call Chen Zhong, I will personally ask him what happened!" ”

"No!"

A personal guard turned around and walked down the city wall to summon Chen Zhong, Chen Zhong was the general of Guangling, this time the ambush outside the city was also led by him, Chen Zhong was summoned by Chen Deng, and hurriedly rushed to the head of the city to tell him about the Jiangdong reinforcements.

Chen Deng groaned slightly, the word "yellow" will be the flag, it seems that the main general of the Jiangdong reinforcements must be Jiangdong general Huang Gai!

Huang Gai is brave and resourceful, brave and good at fighting, fortunately his army retreated in time, otherwise if he engages again, it may not be the result, if he is defeated by Jiangdong soldiers and horses, then he and Guangling County will be dangerous!

Chen Deng smiled slightly, and said: "You did a good job of retreating in time, okay, you go down first, quickly clean up the battlefield and rectify the soldiers and horses, and prevent the Jiangdong Army from killing a horse pistol!" ”

"No, the last general will take the order!"

Chen Deng sat at the head of the city and continued to think about the current situation, Sun Quan was leading the army for the first time this time, neither he nor his brother Sun Ce would let him be defeated and retreat back to Jiangdong.

Even if there is no Huang Gai to lead the army this time, Sun Ce will definitely send reinforcements to support after learning the news of Sun Quan's defeat, Guangling City is too close to Jiangdong, Sun Ce is sitting in Dantu, and he can send reinforcements for Sun Quan at any time.

Now that his hole cards have been played, and Sun Quan has one more general, with Chen Wu, Xu Sheng and Huang Gai on him, if the Jiangdong Army storms the city again, it is unlikely that he will be able to defend it. It seems that he must abandon Guangling City, otherwise when Sun Quan kills again, he will definitely besiege Guangling City to death, and at that time, if he wants to abandon the city again, he must fight a bloody way to break through! Tomorrow, after the Jiangdong army reorganizes the soldiers and horses, it will definitely kill again, today his army has just won, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses have just been frustrated, Sun Quan definitely did not expect that he would abandon the city tonight!

That's it, let's abandon the city tonight, as long as I fight and retreat to wait for the reinforcements of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, I will be able to defeat the Jiangdong soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, and then this Guangling City will naturally be my own!!

After Chen Deng made up his mind, he ordered the army to stand by in case of an attack by Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and made the appearance of defending Guangling City to the death, while he secretly packed all the money and grain in the treasury and was ready to abandon the city at any time.

After dark, Chen Deng first asked people to open the water gate to transport all the money and grain in the city, and then he personally led the defenders in the city to abandon Guangling City, and the army went straight to the direction of Gaoyou......
