Chapter 34: Sun Jian's Death

Sun Jian rectified all the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, collected grain and grass, built warships, etc., and soon went up the river to attack Liu Biao.

Liu Biao had a detailed work in Jiangdong, and soon got the news that Sun Jian's troops and horses were preparing to attack him, Liu Biao was shocked, and hurriedly gathered his subordinates and generals to discuss.

There is a strategist named Kuai Liang, he smiled and said to Liu Biao: "The lord doesn't have to worry, that Sun Jian raised an army to fight against Dong, defeated Huaxiong, and was ambushed by the lord, lost 20,000 soldiers before and after, and greatly damaged his vitality, he is only a county in Jiangdong, and the lord sits in Jingzhou, soldiers, grain, and armor are far more than him, why fear him?" ”

Liu Biao's heart was calm, nodded and said: "Yes, he is not afraid of him in a county in the Jiangdong region, how many soldiers and horses can he have!" ”

Half a month later, Sun Jian and his generals Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and the eldest son Sun Ce poured out 250 million Jiangdong soldiers, went up the river, and officially launched an army to attack Liu Biao.

Liu Biao was already prepared, and ordered the general Huang Zu to lead 30,000 troops from Jiangxia County to block Sun Jian first, and he personally led Jiangling, and the troops of Xiangyang were to help, and he must encircle and annihilate Sun Jian's 25,000 Jiangdong soldiers.

Huang Zu ambushed his soldiers on the riverbank, and when Sun Jian's hundreds of warships were ready to dock, they fired arrows in unison.

"Shoot!"

"Xiuxiu......" arrows rained down and were densely packed.

"Ahh Many soldiers of the Jiangdong Army on the ship were shot and fell off the ship.

"Command the whole army, don't move lightly." Sun Jian did not order the soldiers to force their way ashore, but ordered the soldiers to hide in the cabin or crawl on the deck to avoid the arrows, and Sun Jian ordered hundreds of warships to go back and forth to lure Huang Zu to continue firing arrows.

Huang Zu only cared about releasing the arrows, he didn't think too much, and in only half a day, he used up all the arrows he carried.

"It's broken, and the plan is also!" Suddenly hearing that the arrows were used up, Huang Zu was shocked and understood that he had fallen for Sun Jian's trick to lure him.

Sun Jian laughed and ordered: "Hahahaha, give the order, pull out all the arrows, and shoot back to the Jingzhou army." ”

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army pulled out the arrows inserted in hundreds of warships, and countless arrows were obtained.

"Shoot!"

......Under Sun Jian's order, the crossbowmen of the Jiangdong Army fired arrows at Huang Zu and other Jingzhou soldiers on the shore.

"Ahh Many Jingzhou soldiers were hit by arrows and fell into the river.

Huang Zutie's face was blue, his arrows had all been shot, and he couldn't fight back at all.

"Withdraw!" In desperation, Huang Zu had no choice but to order the army to retreat.

Sun Jian sneered, pointed at the defeated Huang Zu and other Jingzhou troops on the shore, and said disdainfully: "A group of rabble! ”

Hundreds of warships docked, and 25,000 Jiangdong soldiers landed one after another.

Immediately, Sun Jian ordered Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang's soldiers to divide into three routes, attack on three sides, and attack Huang Zu's 30,000 Jingzhou army camp.

Sun Jian is brave, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang are not easy people, and there is also a lot of father's style, known as Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, Huang Zu is not an opponent, and was attacked into the camp by Sun Jian's army, defeated, and lost more than 10,000 soldiers.

Huang Zu had to abandon Fancheng, which was next to the river, and retreat to Dengcheng.

After Sun Jian captured Fancheng, he led the army to Dengcheng.

Huang Zu got 10,000 reinforcements from two generals, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, in Dengcheng, not only recovered his strength, but also restored his confidence, and faced Sun Jian again.

Huang Zu scolded Sun Jian: "Sun Jian, how dare you offend Jingzhou, my lord's Han family!" ”

After scolding, Huang Zu ordered his subordinate Zhang Hu to fight.

"Han Dang, you go and kill him." Sun Jian ordered Han Dang to fight.

"Yes, my lord." Han Dang Pegasus came out to face Zhang Hu.

The two of them fought, Han Dang's force was undoubtedly stronger, and Zhang Hu only fought for more than 20 rounds, and he was overwhelmed and fell into a disadvantage.

Chen Sheng saw that Zhang Hu was about to lose, and immediately rode a horse to help Zhang Hu: "I'm here to help you!" ”

Sun Ce said angrily: "Father, Liu Biao's rat generals are so shameless, do you want to besiege the two of them if you can't fight?" ”

Sun Jian smiled and asked, "What should I do?" ”

Sun Ce replied, "You should take his life!" ”

After speaking, Sun Ce bent his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow towards Chen Sheng, who rushed out.

"Whew! Poof, ah......" The arrow hit Chen Sheng's face, Chen Sheng screamed and fell off his horse, and after struggling on the ground twice, he died of anger.

Over there, Zhang Hu, who was fighting fiercely with Han Dang, saw that Chen Sheng was killed by Sun Ce's arrow, and he was shocked, panicked, and revealed his flaws.

"Die!" Han Dang seized this good opportunity and slashed Zhang Hu's head with a knife, beheading Zhang Hu off the horse.

Both generals died, and Huang Zu and other Jingzhou troops were shocked.

"Kill!" Sun Jian, Sun Ce took advantage of the situation to lead troops to kill.

Huang Zu was defeated again, this time losing 20,000 soldiers, and Deng Cheng was also lost.

Sun Jian took two cities in a row, and captured many Jingzhou soldiers, not only did his strength not decrease, but he was stronger than before, and his troops were extremely strong.

After Huang Zu's fiasco, he gathered the defeated troops and returned to Xiangyang to meet Liu Biao.

Huang Zu said to Liu Biao: "My lord, Sun Jian is brave and unstoppable, and he will be defeated in the end." ”

Liu Biao was shocked, he was a little helpless, he shouted: "How is it good." ”

At this time, Cai Mao stood up and asked for battle: "Lord, Sun Jian is about to come to the city, and the last general is not talented, I am willing to lead the troops to fight again." ”

"Okay, good, you have to fight again, you must win, otherwise the morale of my Jingzhou army will be completely lost." Liu Biao allowed Cai Mao to play, but let Cai Mao have to win.

"Yes, my lord." Cai Mao led 15,000 troops out of the city and lined up to meet the arriving Sun Jian's army, which was actually a complete send-off, so Liu Biao was too panicked and confused before agreeing.

Sun Jian saw Cai Mao and other 15,000 Jingzhou troops lined up in front, and he didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered the army to rush over: "Kill, Cai Mao, this general, is one of the people who ambushed me with his soldiers, the generals captured him alive, and I will kill him with my own hands." ”

Sun Jian's army was like a tiger entering the flock, and in an instant it dispersed the 15,000 Jingzhou army led by Cai Mao, and Cai Mao and Cheng Pu fought fiercely, but they were defeated and fled in a few rounds, causing 15,000 Jingzhou troops to also scatter and flee.

Cai Mao was really defeated, and only led thousands of remnants to return to Xiangyang City.

Liu Biao was defeated again and again, and did not dare to fight again, so he had to defend Xiangyang City.

Sun Jian's troops approached Xiangyang City and stormed the city.

The Jiangdong soldiers are like wolves and tigers, and the morale is strong, but in Xiangyang City, tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops have been defeated in successive battles, and their morale is low.

Liu Biao was very worried.

At this time, his advisor Kuai Liang suddenly thought of a plan, so he spoke: "Lord, I have thought of a plan, you can take Sun Jian's life, once Sun Jian dies, the Jiangdong soldiers will be leaderless and will be defeated!" ”

"Oh? Come on. Liu Biao said immediately.

Kuai Liang said with a smile: "The lord can write to Yuan Shao, ask Yuan Shao for help, and secretly let Sun Jian know, at that time, the lord will send a general with more crossbowmen to break out of the city, and then order him to go straight to Da Xian Mountain to ambush, Sun Jian will definitely pursue, he doesn't know that Da Xian Mountain is circling and twisting, and when he goes deeper, the ambush will come out, and the arrows and stones will be fired, no matter how brave Sun Jian is, he will not escape death." ”

Liu Biao was overjoyed and said: "Okay, good strategy, just do it." ”

Liu Biao sent a strong general named Lu Gong, and the next day he took 500 soldiers out of the city.

Sun Jian saw Lu Gong and other 500 Jingzhou troops leaving the city, and he really ordered 500 Jiangdong soldiers, got on his horse and pursued him, all the way to Da Xian Mountain.

When Lu Gong saw that Sun Jian was chasing after him, he ordered 300 soldiers to ambush first, and he led the remaining 200 soldiers to meet Sun Jian.

"Go there!" Sun Jian took Lu Gong directly on Pegasus and wanted to kill Lu Gong.

Knowing that he was invincible to Sun Jian, Lu Gong only fought Sun Jian for one round, and then rode his horse to continue to lure Sun Jian to the depths of Daxian Mountain.

Sun Jian didn't realize that it was a plan, so he chased after him.

When Sun Jian entered the ambush, rocks suddenly flew down the mountain, and hundreds of crossbowmen suddenly came out and shot arrows at Sun Jian.

Although Sun Jian was brave, he was first hit by a stone, and then he was pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows, and he immediately stared at his eyes and died of anger.

"Hahahaha, Sun Jian is dead, go back and report to the lord." Lu Gong laughed, ordered Sun Jian's body to be carried, and returned to Xiangyang.

As soon as Sun Jian died, the Jiangdong army was in chaos, and in Xiangyang City, tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops were greatly demoralized.

"The order, the army will go out of the city and defeat the Jiangdong Army today." Liu Biao ordered Huang Zu, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, LΓΌ Gong and other generals to attack the Jingzhou army in Xiangyang City and storm the Jiangdong Army camp.

If it weren't for the last little overlord Sun Ce to turn the tide, kill Lu Gong, capture Huang Zu alive, and lead the Jiangdong army to retreat to one place, the Jiangdong army would have been completely annihilated by Liu Biao's Jingzhou army.

Although Sun Ce, with the assistance of Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other generals, replaced his father Sun Ce in charge of the Jiangdong Army, the Jiangdong Army had already been defeated, and due to the death of his father Sun Jian, the morale of the Jiangdong Army was completely lost, and it was impossible to defeat Liu Biao and capture Jingzhou.

Sun Ce was helpless, thinking that his father's corpse was still in Liu Biao's hands, so he sent someone to negotiate peace with Liu Biao, exchanged the captured Huang Zu for his father Sun Jian's corpse, and returned to Jiangdong.

Of course, the peace is temporary, Liu Biao then thought that he killed Sun Jian, and Sun Ce had a grudge against his father, no matter what, the two families could not be good, and soon after, Liu Biao sent an army to attack Jiangdong, plus some ambitious scholars in Jiangdong, taking advantage of Sun Jian's death to make trouble, Sun Ce was worried about internal and external troubles, and was finally driven out of Jiangdong, Sun Ce had no choice but to lead Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang to defect to Yuan Shu, but he secretly swore that one day he would avenge his father!
