Chapter 708: Sun Ce's Revenge (Part II)
Gan Ning's brain was racing, and he suddenly burst out, dancing the tiger tooth and big knife tightly, and the bell rang non-stop. Lu Meng and Ling Tong were forced to turn defense into offense, and the two were about to wait for Gan Ning to run out. Unexpectedly, Gan Ning made a false move, forced out of position, and fled.
"Gutsless rats!! It's not the heroes who run!! β
Lu Meng and Ling Tong followed closely behind, and Ling Tong shouted even more angrily.
"Hahaha. Shaft, you have the advantage of numbers, but you blame me! Shame on you!? β
Gan Ning turned around and laughed, but he humiliated Lu Meng and Ling Tong. Lu Meng's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and Ling Tong gritted his teeth even more, eager to tear Gan Ning alive. Lu Meng had a plan in his heart, and spoke quickly to teach Ling Tong to do this and so. Ling Tong was overjoyed, and immediately whipped and flew, and Pegasus overtook Lu Meng and flew away towards Gan Ning at a high speed.
In a blink of an eye. I saw Lu Meng suddenly rein in the horses, hold down the spear, take out a magpie painting bow from behind, hurriedly take five carved arrows, put the bow on the arrow, and aim at Gan Ning's back. Gan Ning was shocked, and suddenly two bangs sounded, two arrows shot out of the magpie drawing bow, Gan Ning hurriedly rode his horse to dodge, and just flashed two arrows. Between the lightning and flint, he listened to the sound of the bowstring three times in a row, and when Gan Ning came back to his senses, the three arrows in the shape of a zigzag were about to shoot closer. Gan Ning hurriedly reined in the horses, swung his knife again and again, and when he swept away all the three arrows, the mutation was born again!
"Thief, take your life to !!"
It turned out that Ling Tong had already ridden his horse to rush over by taking advantage of Gan Ning's gap in resisting the arrows. Ling Tong hissed violently, his arms and arms burst out, and the angry lion head whip struck out, whipping Gan Ning's heart and throat. Gan Ning's face changed drastically in fright, and he flashed in a hurry, although he avoided the dangerous position, he was still swept in the chest by Ling Tongyi's whip. The huge impact force hit Gan Ning's internal organs and churned for a while.
Gan Ning endured the severe pain, as if a mad lion in danger struggled, slashing at Ling Tong, Ling Tong hurriedly resisted with two whips. That violent force drove Ling Tong and his men and horses back several meters.
Gan Ning took the opportunity to flee away, and Lu Meng in the distance sent several arrows, but because the distance was too far, the arrows had fallen before they could reach Gan Ning's side. By the time Ling Tong came to his senses, Gan Ning had already fled into the ebb tide of the Jiangxia army. Seeing that the enemy who killed his father had escaped from his hands, Ling Tong shouted angrily. Later, LΓΌ Meng arrived, and the two led the army to cover up for a while, and when they were about to chase to Jiangxia Dazhai, Zhou Tai ordered the soldiers to blow the horn of Mingjin to collect the troops. LΓΌ Meng and Ling Tong, the two heroic young generals, slowly collected their troops and returned to the city.
Jiangdong general Zhou Tai led troops to rescue Nanchang, Su Fei lost for a while, and learned from Gan Ning that there were two rising young soldiers in the Jiangdong army, who were very brave and unstoppable. Su Fei was cautious by nature, and did not dare to take Nanchang City again, so he sent someone to report the battle to Huang Zu.
Huang Zu learned that Starry Night led a large army to Nanchang, and 20,000 Jiangxia troops overwhelmingly flocked to the Jiangxia camp outside Nanchang City. Huang Zu immediately ordered the sergeants of each department to rest, and on the other hand, they took precautions to guard against Zhou Tai's attack on the camp.
A few days later, Huang Zu divided the army into three divisions, the front army of 3,000 sword and shield men, 7,000 pikemen, a total of 10,000 soldiers, led by Huang Zu's lieutenant general Huang Zhong and school captain Zhang Shuo. The 8,000 crossbowmen of the Chinese army were led by the generals Su Fei and Gan Ning. The rear army had 6,000 cavalry, and 4,000 sword and axe men were led by Huang Zuqin. The Jiangxia army pressed towards the city of Nanchang, covering the sun with swords and guns, and covering the sky with flags.
Zhou Tai led the army out to meet him, arranged the formation in the field, and led the army of 10,000 to form a formation. Zhou Tai stepped out under the banner of the gate, rode out of the battle, and flew towards the Jiangxia army, scolding and fighting. Huang Zhong rushed out to meet the battle, holding a red and strange strange knife and running straight towards Zhou Tai. When Zhou Tai saw Huang Zhong coming out of the battle, he knew that he was brave, and his face suddenly became solemn, and he shook his spirit. The two horses rushed to each other, Zhou Tai's hand was fast, and the Linglong Tiger Roar Knife was cut first, Huang Zhong drove away, avoided Zhou Tai's knife, and immediately picked up the red big knife and slashed at Zhou Tai's throat. Zhou Tai also dodged and avoided the danger. The two of them immediately attacked together, each swinging their swords and attacking non-stop, and the sword light flew so fast that it was difficult to catch it. The sergeants of both armies were all shocked. The two fought, fifty or sixty rounds, and still couldn't tell the winner.
Zhang Shuo, who was in the Jiangxia formation, shouted angrily when he saw this, and raised his gun and Pegasus to help in the battle. At the same time, Ling Tong reacted quickly, clapping his horse and scrambling to be the first to come out, killing Zhang Shuo like a gallop. Zhang Shuo saw that Ling Tong was young, so he didn't take him seriously, and fought with Ling Tong with a gun. Who knew that this Ling Tong was terrifying, and the offensive was faster than one move, Zhang Shuo couldn't resist it, and wanted to escape, but Ling Tong took the opportunity to sweep the back with a whip and hit the horse. Ling Tong wanted to chase and kill, but Zhang Shuo saw that the situation was not good from the early riding and came to intercept him in time. Ling Tong fought hard to kill the enemy and scattered Zhang Shuo from his horse, but at this time Zhang Shuo had remounted his horse and fled back into the formation. Ling Tong abandoned Zhang Shuo and rushed to Zhou Tai's side, intending to attack Huang Zhong. Seeing that the battle situation was not good, Huang Zhong slashed a sword, swept away the formation, and hurriedly turned his horse back to the battle. Zhou Tai chased after him, Huang Zhong suddenly turned around and shot three arrows in a row with his bow, the arrows were fired quickly and accurately, Zhou Tai avoided two arrows, and the third arrow rubbed a violent spark on his armpit armor, Zhou Tai was shocked and did not dare to chase again. Ling Tong also saw that Huang Zhong's archery skills were terrifying, and he no longer chased him. Huang Zhong returned to the formation, and then hurriedly ordered the army to attack, and Zhou Tai urgently ordered his subordinates to meet the attack, and the two armies were killed. Due to the large number of Jiangxia troops, the Jiangdong army gradually did not arrive, and Zhou Tai ordered the army to retreat and fight, and retreated to Nanchang City. Huang Zhong led the front army to the city first, and the defenders of Nanchang City fired arrows and rolling stones, killing all the nearly 1,000 Jiangxia soldiers and horses who were chasing the most urgently. Huang Zhong hurriedly led the army to retreat, and when Su Fei and Huang Zu pressed on, Zhou Tai had already led the army to the city. Huang Zu saw that it was difficult to conquer Nanchang City for a while, so he ordered the army to withdraw to Dazhai first.
Huang Zu had a lot of advantages in the first battle, and his confidence was great, so he ordered the army to storm Nanchang City for several days. Zhou Tai held the city to the death, and took advantage of the terrain to resist the Jiangxia army. The two armies attacked and defended for nearly 10 days, and each army suffered casualties.
At night, Jiangxia's army had just withdrawn. LΓΌ Meng and Ling Tong came to find Zhou Tai. Although the current battle situation is unfavorable, Lu Meng still has clear eyes and no urgency, giving people a very old feeling.
"General Zhou, according to the orders of the military advisor, it's time for me to withdraw the army."
"Hmm. That's what I mean. Our army withdrew at this time, and Huang Chengjie must have thought that we would not be able to hold Nanchang and end up with the annihilation of the whole army, so he withdrew. And with this period of time as a pretense, it can also be used as a pretext for General Sun to surrender in the future, so as to avoid Huang Chengjie's suspicions. β
Zhou Tai bowed slightly, and then ordered Lu Meng and Ling Tong to send orders to all troops and horses to prepare to evacuate that night.
At night, all the Jiangdong soldiers and horses in Nanchang City were evacuated, and Jiangxia scouts found out and reported to Huang Zu. Huang Zhong led the army to Nanchang City, and saw that Nanchang City was not guarded by soldiers, so Huang Zhong led the army to attack Nanchang and captured the city, while sending someone to inform Huang Zu.
Huang Zu went south to Jiangdong on this trip, naturally he would not be willing to be willing to take a few cities and places, what he wanted was the entire Jiangdong. After Huang Zu won the city of Nanchang, the soldiers rested for a few days and continued to march to Jiujiang. When the Jiangxia army was marching, suddenly Sun Jing came to ask for a meeting, Huang Zu heard that the soldiers came to report, and learned that Sun Jing sent an envoy to ask for a meeting, and he was overjoyed and quickly greeted. After the two of them performed the ceremony, Sun Jing came to hand over Sun Jing's letter to Huang Zu. Huang Zu hurriedly opened it and read it, and what was written in the letter was as he expected. It turned out that Sun Jing rebelled in Huiji for many days, fighting with Sun Ce's soldiers and horses, and it was difficult to match the edge of the other army. Sun Jinglian lost the city and would be cornered by Sun Ce's soldiers and horses, so he sent a letter to Huang Zu, one was to surrender, and the other was to hope that Huang Zu could come to the rescue.
"Hahaha! Sun Huiji has a unique vision, knowing that Jiangdong will fall into the hands of the old man sooner or later, and the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie. How can the old man not be included! β
Huang Zu stroked his palms and laughed, that is, he rewarded Sun Jing for coming and making him retreat. Huang Zu then summoned the generals in the army to discuss.
When the generals under Huang Zu's command learned that Sun Jing had surrendered, their faces changed. Huang Zhong frowned deeply, and got up to attend the admonition.
"My lord, the Sun and Huang families have been hating each other for a long time, and they are incompatible. How could Sun Jing ignore hatred and surrender to the lord, there may be fraud in this! β
As soon as Huang Zhong's words came out, Su Fei, Zhang Shuo and other generals all echoed their words. Huang Zu's eyes narrowed, and he secretly hated Huang Zhong in his heart, and he was inciting the army. However, Huang Zu still smiled on the surface and patiently explained.
"Haha, don't be suspicious of Hansheng. The battle between Sun Jing and Sun Ce has been going on for some time. If the two of them split the winner at once, I will suspect him of fraud. But the fact is that the two have been fighting fiercely for a long time, and I heard about it before, and in Huiji County, there are corpses all over the field, all of which are soldiers and horses under the command of the two. In this way, how can there be any falsehood in this!
Moreover, the enmity between the Sun and Huang families was because of Sun Wentai. Now that Sun Wentai is dead, and Sun Jing has nothing to get what he wants, he naturally holds a grudge, and he is forced to be cornered by Sun Bofu at the moment, so it is reasonable to come to vote. β
"But !!"
Huang Zhong wanted to say more, but Huang Zu glared angrily and shouted.
"That's enough!! I have made up my mind, Sun Jing is here to vote, but God will help me to get Jiangdong! How could I see it go away at such a great time!! β
Huang Zhong saw that Huang Zu insisted on this, and he didn't dare to persuade him again. Huang Zu's generals, there are also many people who feel that it is inappropriate, but where is this inappropriate, they have not realized it for a while.
So Huang Zu led the army all the way into the hinterland of Jiangdong, and Yu Lu encountered several times of Jiangdong soldiers and horses, but they were all repelled by the Jiangxia army. Half a month later, Huang Zu led the army to the realm of Jiujiang and Huiji, Sun Jing received Huang Zu's letter early, and led the army to retreat to the boundary lake mouth of Jiujiang and Huiji.
When Sun Jingwen heard that Huang Zu came, he hurriedly led a group of soldiers and horses out of the city to greet him. Huang Zu was overjoyed when he saw Sun Jing coming, first appeased Sun Jing, and promised Sun Jing that if he could capture Jiangdong, he would reward Sun Jing with the three counties of Jiujiang, Huiji, and Linhai to show his merits. Sun Jing pretended to be overjoyed and thanked Huang Zu. After that, Sun Jing led Huang Zu and his subordinates into the city, and the two armies joined forces. Sun Jing held a banquet in the city again, washing the dust for Huang Zu and his subordinate generals, which was naturally not a problem.
