Chapter Forty-Eight: Sun Jian's Attack
In order to avoid confusion in the military orders, the soldiers and horses of each prince were led by themselves, but they needed to accept Yuan Shao's unified arrangement.
In addition to the soldiers and horses of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, who did not fight, the army led by Sun Jian has the best record.
The soldiers and horses of the other princes fought with Dong Zhuo's army, and most of them lost more than they won, and only Sun Jian's soldiers and horses had almost no defeat.
This is mainly because Sun Jian's army was formed by him from the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and he has experienced dozens of battles.
And Sun Jian is also battle-hardened, and he is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong.
Moreover, there are four generals under Sun Jian who can fight well, namely Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao.
"General, this Sun Jian's army is in full swing, if he doesn't curb it, he may overshadow the general's prestige."
A partial general named Hou Ming said to Yuan Shu.
At this time, Yuan Shu was appointed by Yuan Shao as a quartermaster and was in charge of the grain and grass dispatch of the coalition army.
He has always been very dissatisfied with this position, thinking that Yuan Shao is suppressing himself, but in fact, Yuan Shao just doesn't want his younger brother to take risks.
But in Yuan Shu's opinion, it turned out that Yuan Shao didn't want to give himself a chance to perform, so he was very dissatisfied with those generals who were in the limelight.
Hearing what Hou Ming said, Yuan Shu immediately agreed with his words, but he was just a quartermaster, how could he suppress Sun Jian's momentum?
"The general might as well cut off the grain and grass of Sun Wentai for a few days, so that he will not be prestigious."
"It's a brilliant plan."
Yuan Shu immediately burst out laughing.
At this time, Sun Jian, who was still besieging the city in another place, did not expect that he would be calculated by the coalition forces at all, and was still commanding his soldiers to attack the city.
Yuan Shu was not the only one who noticed Sun Jian, and Dong Zhuo, who was in the Tiger Prison, also noticed that there was such a strong army in the coalition army, and he asked Li Ru and others to discuss the matter.
"Don't worry, my lord, I have been observing the coalition forces on the city wall for several days, and I have found that these people are strange on the surface, but they are intriguing in secret. Although Sun Jian is desperately attacking the city, as long as we set up an ambush on his way back, we will be able to defeat this army when the time comes. And I dare to assert that there must be no other soldiers and horses to come to the rescue. ”
"Who wants to go?"
"The child wants to go."
Lu Bu, who rushed back to the Tiger Prison, took the lead in asking for battle.
"Kill chickens with a knife, and you can go to the end of this matter."
Hua Xiong, who was in the limelight during this time, then spoke.
He had already tried with Lu Bu, knowing that he was not this person's opponent, and he usually didn't dare to compete with Lu Bu, but who made him too popular during this time, he couldn't help but swell up a little.
Dong Zhuo looked at these two people, Hua Xiong was his descendant, and although Lu Bu worshipped himself as his father-in-law, he had only recently joined, so he still decided to hand over this task to Hua Xiong.
Today, Sun Jianyou led less than 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command to attack the city again, he almost attacked the city wall several times before, and today he decided to take this section of the city wall in one go.
Moreover, the Chinese army didn't know what was going on, so they didn't send grain and grass for three days, and the people sent by Sun Jian to inquire were also heard from them.
But Sun Jian was in a hurry to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, save Emperor Xian from Dong Zhuo's clutches, and help the Han family, so he didn't think much about it, and thought that there was a problem with the scheduling of grain and grass.
As long as we can break through the Tiger Prison, the problem of grain and grass can be solved.
But what Sun Jian didn't expect was that the section of the city wall he attacked today was particularly tightly defended, and those who could still attack the city wall in the past have not even climbed the city wall now, and more than 3,000 people have been killed and injured under his command.
Sun Jian knew that this was because they had not eaten for too long, their physical strength was exhausted, and the enemy army had obviously increased its strength, so he decided to return to the Chinese army first to report the matter to Yuan Shaoyu.
However, not long after Sun Jianjun retreated, just passing through a bush, an army suddenly came out of the woods on the side, and there was no doubt that the banner was Dong Zhuojun.
The first person is Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong, with a hideous face, rode the war horse with a large number of heads hanging on it, and rushed towards Sun Jianjun like a fierce god and evil ghost.
"Formation, formation."
Sun Jianjun didn't expect to be attacked suddenly, plus they were hungry and tired at this time, and before they could form a formation, Huaxiong's army rushed into the formation.
Although Sun Jianjun still had nearly 15,000 people at this time, he was always beaten in the face of Huaxiong's army, which only had 10,000 men.
"Lord, this place should not stay for a long time, evacuate quickly, and the enemy army will be resisted by us."
Cheng Pu grabbed Sun Jian, who wanted to step forward to kill the enemy, and asked him to leave first.
"These soldiers were brought out by me, how can I abandon them?"
After speaking, he ignored Cheng Pu, and rushed into the enemy army with a slap of his horse.
Sun Jian is worthy of being known as the tiger of Jiangdong, a tiger and tiger who dances with a sword, and the Huaxiong sergeants have almost no enemies.
"This man is a fierce general."
A knife cut a Sun Jian sergeant into two pieces, Hua Xiong also discovered Sun Jian's existence, and immediately rushed towards Sun Jian.
"Bell, bell, bell~"
After several rounds of fighting, Hua Xiong also knew the strength of this person, and couldn't help but say: "You are qualified to let me know your name, and report your name quickly." ”
"Hmph~"
Facing Hua Xiong's arrogant words, Sun Jian couldn't help but snort, if he hadn't eaten for a long time, how could he, Sun Wentai, be afraid of this person.
"Bell~"
Just as Hua Xiong was about to slash at Sun Jian, one person's spear blocked Hua Xiong's big knife.
"Zumao?"
"My lord, don't be rash."
Before Sun Jian could speak, Hua Xiong said, "You are the lord?" Then Sun Jian? Then don't even think about leaving. ”
As he spoke, he swung away Zu Mao's spear and continued to attack Sun Jian.
Seeing that his subordinates were being slaughtered by the Huaxiong Army around him, Sun Jian couldn't help but feel a little gloomy: "Is this the end of my Sun Wentai?" ”
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and then I saw an army under the banner of Cao slowly approaching the battlefield, and the leader was Cao Cao and Cao Mengde.
"Reinforcements?"
Seeing Cao Cao's army coming, Sun Jian regained his fighting spirit again.
"Our reinforcements are coming, hold on."
With his own reinforcements joining the battle, Sun Jianjun's morale couldn't help but increase a few points.
"Ah~"
Suddenly, Sun Jian heard a scream coming from behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw that Zu Mao was behind him at this time, and the tip of a knife came out of his chest.
"You're pretty loyal."
As he spoke, Hua Xiong pulled out his war knife and swung it hard, Zu Mao's head rose to the sky, and blood on his neck suddenly gushed like a spring.
"You qualify to be one of my collectibles." Saying that, Hua Xiong wanted to pick up Zu Mao's head.
"Ah~~"
Zu Mao, who had followed him for many years, was killed in front of his eyes, and Sun Jian's eyes slowly turned blood-red.
At this time, Cheng Pu and the others, who were killing the enemy not far away, also heard Sun Jian's voice, and they also found Zu Mao's headless corpse, and they couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
They have been good brothers for many years, but I didn't expect Zu Mao to die like this suddenly.
Except for Huang Gai, who was entangled by the enemy, Cheng Pu and Han Dang immediately escaped and came to Sun Jian's side, preparing to face the enemy who killed his brother together.
