Chapter 179: Ambush on All Sides (Part II)

"Dog, look there. Are reinforcements coming? On the city wall of Liyang, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old soldier Sun Ce pointed to the smoke and dust in the distance and said to his companions beside him.

"Great, I'm going home, I'm so hungry and tired." Ah Gou said excitedly.

The latter was suddenly silent and did not speak, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "Not reinforcements...... Woo woo, it's Han Xuan's siege army coming! ”

The next moment, his body was pierced by a huge crossbow arrow, and the huge impact carried his body and nailed him to the wall.

Dog cried and pounced on his corpse, trying to put him down from the crossbow arrow, but the next second, a whistling sound came from Dog's ears. A huge rock flew from a distance and smashed Dog and his companions.

Crossbow arrows and stones were thrown into the city wall of Liyang, and the small city seemed to collapse in the next moment. Sun Ce's soldiers cried and fled in all directions, they endured hunger and cold, their will had long been broken, and Han Xuanjun's attack on the city at this time completely made them fall into endless fear.

"General Gan, the lord asked me to lead the Seven Killing Battalion to support you in attacking the city." Huang Ergou walked towards Gan Ning head-on.

Gan Ning watched Huang Ergou lead his subordinates to push siege equipment such as catapults and bed crossbows, and was overjoyed: "Huang ...... General, you have come too timely, and you are going to capture Sun Ce this time! ”

Huang Ergou heard Gan Ning call him a general, and immediately had a good impression of Gan Ning, blaming his father and mother for giving him such a perfunctory name, saying that the name is simple and easy to support.

Huang Ergou smiled and said to Gan Ning: "General Gan, the siege of the city will be handed over." The lord ordered General Gan to ambush his troops outside the city, and when Sun Ce broke through the siege, he could kill again. ”

Huang Ergou led the Seven Killing Battalion to storm Liyang City, and the catapult simply threw all the nearby stones, and the giant arrows fired by the bed crossbow were also consumed by them. Correspondingly, the walls of Liyang City were damaged, and Sun Ce's soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

In the middle of winter, snowflakes drifted in the sky, and Han Xuan led the army to the temporary general outside Liyang City.

Zhou Shanming gave birth to a charcoal fire, Han Xuan, Zhang Zhao, and Zhong Xuan sat on the chair, roasting their hands that were red from the cold, Han Xuan came to the tent and stretched out his hand to catch a ball of snowflakes, looking at Liyang City buried by the heavy snow, the corners of his mouth rose: "The weather is cold, Sun Ce's thousands of men and horses have no winter clothes, no grain and grass, how can they defend this small city?" ”

"The lord is a god, as if Sun Ce's every move the lord can predict, and Sun Cejun's morale must have fallen to the extreme now." Zhong Xuan said after Han Xuan.

Han Xuan smiled and said, "Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, Zibu, Yuan Chang." Follow me up to the earth and the mountains to see. ”

Han Xuan, Zhang Zhao, Zhong Xuan and others came to the high platform and watched Gan Ning command the army to change the guard, and the soldiers were all wearing cotton clothes and roasting the fire. But there was a dead silence in the city of Liyang.

In the city of Liyang, the soldiers of Sun Ce looked at the smoke rising outside the city, and the halazi flowed to the ground. Sun Ce strictly ordered them to hold on, and it had been almost ten days, and they had eaten everything they could eat in the city.

Even the rats hibernating in the city were picked up and eaten by the hungry and overwhelmed Sun Ce's soldiers. More and more people are dying of starvation and disease, and even from eating corpses at the beginning, to cannibalism among the living. Compared to outside the city, there is hell in Liyang City!

Sun Ce looked at the tragic situation in the city and shed tears, and Han Dang handed Sun Ce a bowl of rat meat, which was his share to Sun Ce. Sun Ce waved his hand and said, "Yigong, I'm not hungry." Eat it yourself. Why didn't my cousin and Zhongmou send troops to rescue him? ”

Han Dang hesitated for a long time before saying: "It has been nearly ten days since Cheng Gong broke through, and I am afraid it has been ......."

At this time, there was a commotion in the city, and Sun Ce rushed over when he heard the sound, and it turned out that Gan Ning had sent an envoy to come. Lying on the carriage was the corpse of a veteran.

The messenger shouted to the top of the city, "The Lord has sent me to return the body of General Cheng Pu. The lord has a word for me to bring to General Sun, as long as Sun Ce is willing to surrender to him, he promises that he will not be guilty of the past, and all the soldiers in the city can be pardoned. ”

Sun Ce was furious and yelled at the envoy: "Even if I, Sun Ce, starve to death, I will not surrender to Han Xuan!" ”

Han Dang hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, Duke Cheng died in battle, and the lord should take back his body." ”

Sun Ce asked people to open the city gate and take Cheng Pu's body in, and many soldiers saw the city gate wide open and rushed to escape from the city. Sun Ce suddenly rushed over and hacked several people to death with an ancient ingot knife, and Han Dang also stabbed to death several soldiers who had just escaped from the city with a spear before they stopped.

Sun Ce ordered people to close the city gate, only to see many soldiers surrounding Cheng Pu's body for a long time without speaking. Cheng Pu was the eldest in the army, and his prestige was extremely high, and the soldiers respected him very much. Now that he has broken through and died, it means that there will be no reinforcements coming, and their hopes have been completely wiped out.

Several soldiers pressed their hungry stomachs, looked at Cheng Pu's corpse and swallowed their saliva, Sun Ce angrily scolded them to retreat, and then buried Cheng Pu's body himself.

Sun Ce raised his head and wiped his tears, and said to Han Dang: "Han Xuan's poisonous plan, using this to attack the heart, the soldiers know that there is no way back, and the army has no heart. I want to personally lead my troops out of the siege! ”

Han Dang received the order and ordered the whole army to break through, and now there are only more than 3,000 people left in the city, and the already scarce war horses have also been killed by soldiers for food.

Sun Ce looked at these weak soldiers standing in front of him, he was silent, and he had little hope of leading these people to break through. But even if there was a glimmer of hope, he had to give it a try.

Sun Ce raised his spear and pointed at the city gate and said, "Brothers, I, Sun Ce, can't stand you. Let you starve and freeze with me, I, Sun Ce, please believe in me for the last time, and fight with me to fight my way out. As long as we return to Koto, we will be able to warm up and be fed and reunited with our loved ones. ”

"Zi~Lala~" The city gate was wide open, and Sun Ce rushed over first, shouting at the soldiers behind him: "Rush!" ”

Sun Ce's soldiers shouted weakly, and more than 3,000 people poured out of the city gate.

On the top of the earth mountain, Han Xuan sat on a high platform, and in front of him was a guqin, and Han Xuan gently plucked a string. The Ganning army, which had been in ambush outside the city, suddenly came out from both sides of the snow, wearing white leather jackets, as if they were one with the snow-white earth.

It's hard to spot them if they hadn't jumped all of a sudden. The ambush soldiers were exhausted, and the steel knife in his hand slashed at Sun Cejun, who was hungry and cold, and the result can be imagined.

"There is an ambush...... Lord, retreat! Han Dang shouted, stabbing the enemy with his spear, covering the retreat of Sun Cejun's army.

"Sun Ce, where to go!" Gan Ning held a spear and rode a horse to stop Sun Ce, Sun Ce broke through at this time and burst out with amazing combat effectiveness. Sun Ce's every shot was directly close to Gan Ning's vital point, and when Gan Ning saw this, he did not fight to the death with Sun Ce, and turned his horse back to cover up Sun Ce's defeated army.

Under Han Dang's desperate protection, Sun Ce rushed out of the encirclement. Sun Cejun left a corpse, Sun Ce saw that he had fled from Liyang City, and there was a smooth road ahead, and the fire of hope was ignited in his heart.

Sun Ce shouted to the people behind him: "Go north, as long as we return to Moling, we will be saved!" ”

Sun Ce crossed a hill on his horse, only to see that a tiger general had already led an army to wait here.

"Sun Ce~ Zhou Tai has been waiting here for a long time!" Zhou Tai led the army to rush up, and Zhou Tai's army formation was like an iron bucket, and Sun Ce couldn't rush out at all.

Sun Ce had no choice but to lead the army to flee south, Han Dang led a group of yellow-faced and thin-skinned soldiers to meet him, Han Dang said: "My lord, the north is full of Han Xuanjun's ambushes. The surface of Lishui is already frozen, why don't you go southeast and flee to your hometown to make another plan? ”

Sun Ce agreed to Han Dang's proposal, wrapped the horse's hooves in rags to prevent slipping, and Sun Ce and Han Dang led their troops to march slowly from the ice.

"Whoosh~~" A burst of bows and arrows came in unison, Xu Sheng led the ambush soldiers to kill, and countless fire arrows shot at Sun Cejun, who was slowly walking on the ice.

"Zizizi~Click~" Due to the excessive pressure on the ice surface and the increase in temperature, the ice surface cracked, and countless Sun Ce soldiers fell into the icy river.

At this time, on the high platform of Tushan, Han Xuan's piano sound suddenly accelerated, and the melody seemed to contain thousands of troops and horses, and there seemed to be countless killing intentions hidden in the fast rhythm.

Han Xuan said to Zhang Zhao and Zhong Xuan while playing: "Please Yuan Chang and Zibu enjoy this song ambush on all sides!" ”
