Chapter 237: Reinforcements from Jiangdong
Lu Bu's precepts are nothing more than two cores.
First, soldiers can be constrained by military discipline on the battlefield to loot materials and wealth; The second is that from now on, no one will ever be given a chance to besiege him.
The soldiers in the phalanx all looked solemn.
They knew very well what kind of character Sun Ce was, and they knew even more that it was not so easy to crusade against Jiangdong.
It is very likely that you will make a meritorious achievement, and it may be even greater to die on the battlefield.
Seeing the doubts in the hearts of the soldiers from the expressions on their faces, Lu Bu continued: "I don't have much to say, but it's actually just one sentence, come with me to Wancheng!" Kill their warriors, rob their goods, sleep with their women! β
When Lu Bu said this, the soldiers suddenly burst into laughter.
He then beckoned: "Follow me to Wancheng!" β
"Roar!" Tens of thousands of soldiers raised their weapons and let out a neat roar.
At the same time, on the wall of Anhui City, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others stood at the head of the city and looked into the distance.
The scout had already brought news that Lu Bu's army was a few miles outside the city, and it wouldn't be long before he arrived with his soldiers and horses.
Once Lu Bu arrived, the war would begin.
Looking out of the city, Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu: "Lu Bu is already close at hand, how can we get him to retreat?" β
"I'm afraid it's not so easy to let Lu Bu retreat." Zhou Yu shook his head: "A few days ago, I sent someone back to Jiangdong and asked the second prince to come to help with his troops, and he should be about to arrive." β
"Gongjin wrote a letter to Zhongmou?" Sun Ce asked in surprise.
Zhou Yu nodded: "Except for the transfer of troops and horses from Jiangdong, we have no chance of winning against Lu Bu at all......
"But in this way, the Jiangdong army is also pouring out." Sun Ce frowned: "Jingzhou Liu Biao has always been eyeing Jiangdong, in case he ......"
"Liu Biao may do that, but if the second son doesn't bring troops to help, we won't have a chance to break through." Zhou Yu replied: "Once we are trapped in Anhui City, sooner or later we will become Lu Bu's prisoners!" β
"I understand what Gong Jin said!" Sun Ce looked up at the sky, he sighed and said, "I only want to take Lujiang and Huainan to deal with Jingzhou in the future." Who would have thought that I would actually meet Lu Bu......"
"It's still a trivial matter to meet Lu Bu, but the worst thing is that he is completely different from the past." Zhou Yu replied: "I have long heard that Lu Bu is greedy for money and lustful, and he has no way to manage soldiers and horses. That's why he fell into passivity in the first battle of Xiapi. At the beginning, Lu Bu robbed Cao Cao of grain and grass and untied the siege of Xiapi, which was already unexpected by the world. Now that he has met us, he has not only forced us into such a predicament, but even has the meaning of completely breaking it, which makes people think about it carefully, and they can't help but feel chills in their hearts! β
"Could it be that Gongjin is also afraid of Lu Bu?" Sun Ce's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu didn't answer, but asked Sun Ce rhetorically: "Isn't Bo Fu afraid?" β
was stunned by his question, and Sun Ce then laughed: "Or Gongjin can laugh, I have fought with Lu Bu, of course I am afraid of him." It's just that on the battlefield, either he dies or I die, and I'm afraid that I can't change anything. There is only one way in front of me, and that is to fight Lu Bu to the end! β
"Bo Fu is right, there is only one path in front of us." Zhou Yu nodded: "Fight with Lu Bu to the end!" β
"Herald!" Sun Ce shouted to the guards next to him: "Let the soldiers carry more stones, block the city gate from the inside, from today onwards, we will refuse to defend the city and wait for the second prince to rush to help!" β
Soon after Sun Ce's order was issued, many Jiangdong troops moved large stones to place behind the city gate.
There are four gates in Anhui City, and the back of each gate is full of huge stones.
The stones were against the gates, and even if they were beaten with battering rams from the outside, it would be impossible to break through the gates for a while.
Sun Ce was ready, and Lu Bu also led a large army approaching Wancheng.
As he was walking, a scout who was exploring the way came to him: "Qiqi Wenhou, we have detected that there is a Jiangdong man who has just crossed the Yangtze River and is rushing to this side!" β
"Jiangdong people?" Lu Bu asked, "How many people are there, and who is leading the army?" β
"Less than 20,000 people." The scout replied: "The leader is Sun Zhongmou, the second son of the Sun family!" β
Signaling the scouts to retreat, Lu Bu smiled and said to Zhao Yun and the others: "Sun Bofu is planning to fight with us in Anhui City, and then send a messenger to seek foreign aid.
"He still has to ask for foreign help!" Chen Zhi said contemptuously: "Wen Hou, I am willing to lead the Red Flame Army to meet the battle, and I will definitely be able to retreat from the enemy army in one battle!" β
"The Red Flame Army is the main force attacking Anhui City, and they must not be allowed to fight." Lu Bu first rejected Chen Dao, and then asked Gao Shun: "General Gao, are you sure that the trapped camp will break through the enemy?" β
"Although the trapping camp is newly established, the soldiers I selected are all elite." Gao Shun replied: "As long as I lead the army, don't say that the number of enemy troops is not much more than ours." Even if there are 100,000 of them, the trapped camp will not look at them in their eyes! β
"General Gao's atmosphere!" Lu Bu nodded and praised: "What I want is for the general to have such a bearing." β
He then said to Gao Shun: "Since the general is so sure of the trapped camp, I will give you the task of defeating Sun Zhongmou. The army must also remember that you have no backup in this war. Regardless of success or failure, the only thing you can rely on is yourself! β
"Wen Hou rest assured, if you need backup, you will no longer be trapped in the camp!" Gao Shun asked, "Dare to ask Wen Hou, when will I take the soldiers to fight?" β
"Wait a minute!" Lu Buxian didn't give him a deployment task, but looked at Pang Tong: "Shiyuan, I plan to send you to accompany General Gao and be his military advisor to face Sun Zhongmou, I don't know if you want to go?" β
"Wen Hou commanded, of course I would like to go!" Pang Tong responded.
Only then did Lu Bu say to Gao Shun: "Sun Zhongmou has some talents around him, and there are many wise and strategic people. The trapped camp is more than brave, but it is inevitable that it will suffer in front of the wise and strategic. Shi Yuan is going with you, and General Gao should listen to his plans more! β
Gao Shun is different from Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi and others.
He is a low-key man and has always been courteous and courteous.
Although he didn't agree with Pang Tong who suddenly became a military advisor in his heart, he would never put it on his face.
LΓΌ Bu sent Pang Tong to join him in the army, and Gao Shun did not raise objections, but immediately received the order.
"The two of you can lead the trapped camp to meet the enemy." Lu Bu instructed the two of them.
Gao Shun and Pang Tong responded in unison, beckoning the trapped camp to leave the army.
Seeing the camp leave, Zhao Yun said to Lu Bu: "General Gao and Pang Gong are not familiar with each other, but I am afraid that there will be problems with the cooperation of the two." β
"Zilong, don't worry, General Gao is a measured person." Lu Bu smiled indifferently: "I let Shi Yuan pass, just to let the two of them run in." β
