0555: Battle of Hanshui
"Don't drive, the enemy is back!" Huang Zhong looked at the movement of Sun Jianjun under the city, and suddenly said to Cai Mao with some excitement.
"Excellent! Send someone to report to the lord immediately! Wen Cheng, you immediately go and gather troops and prepare for pursuit! Cai Mao looked at the enemy troops outside the city and said in a deep voice.
"No!" When Zhang Yun heard this, he immediately took the order and left.
And Huang Zhong on the side heard the sound outside the strings, "Don't drive, don't you chase directly?" ”
"Hehe, don't worry, now that Sun Jian has withdrawn from the army, he will definitely strengthen his vigilance. Moreover, our army has few soldiers, and if we attack rashly, not only will we not be able to achieve results, but it is also very likely that Sun Jian will take advantage of the situation to break through Xiangyang. Cai Mao said with a chuckle.
"Don't drive!" Huang Zhong said with admiration when he heard this.
And outside the city.
"Lord, there is no movement in the city, could it be that we think that our army is feigning to retreat, so as to lead them out of the rear field?" Zu Mao looked at Xiangyang City, which did not make any movement, and asked with some doubts.
"Impossible! Didn't you say before that someone was reporting to the city at night? Although that person was not caught in the end, but now it seems that it must be the envoy sent by Yang Ding who wants to unite with this Liu Biao in the north and south! Sun Jian said with a gloomy expression, "It seems that Liu Biao must think that our army is strong, and he is ready to wait for our army to cross the Han River before pursuing." Or maybe he plans to sit back and watch me and Na Yang Ding attack each other, and wait until both are defeated before he waves his troops north. ”
In the end, Sun Jian's tone was a little puzzled, because he couldn't understand why Yang Ding didn't resist Lu Bu in Hongnong at all, but directly led the army south to attack Nanyang. "Could it be that in Yang Ding's heart, I am better than that Lu Bu?!" Thinking of this, Sun Jian suddenly had such a thought in his heart, and suddenly felt an extremely unhappy feeling inexplicably.
He admits that he is not as good as Li Yi, but if he can't even compare with a general under Li Yi, even if that person is the number one general under Li Yi, Sun Jian is absolutely unconvinced. "Don't be heavy! Hurry up, I'm going to go back to Nanyang at once! Personally lead the army to defeat Yang Ding, and tear him apart to relieve the hatred in my heart! Sun Jian said loudly.
At Sun Jian's urging, Sun Jian's army soon retreated, leaving behind the baggage of a place. "Haha, it's cheap, I'll wait~ Come and lead a team of people to receive these burdens." Cai Mao laughed when she saw this.
Not long after, Sun Jian led his army to retreat to the edge of the Han River, "Order the troops to quickly board a boat and cross the river!" The rest of the people, strengthen their vigilance, then Liu Biao is likely to pursue at this time! Sun Jian ordered loudly.
"No!" The crowd shouted in response, and then quickly boarded a boat to cross the Han River.
And just as Sun Jian expected, when most of Sun Jian's soldiers boarded the ship and sailed to the opposite bank, Liu Biao's pursuing troops came, and Cai Mao, a pilot of 30,000 troops, rushed to pursue.
"Humph! Cai Mao? Sun Jian looked at the fluttering flag and sneered with some disdain. He had confronted Cai Mao in his first attack on Nanjun, and the result was ...... It was completely crushing Cai Mao.
"The soldiers on the ship cover the soldiers who board the ship with arrows! The rest of you will join me in stopping the enemy! Sun Jian ordered loudly.
"Whoa, whoa!" When Sun Jian's words spread, the morale of all the generals was immediately high, and they shouted one after another.
"Humph! As the commander of an army, he always likes to be brave! Although Cai Mao didn't hear Sun Jian's words, seeing the other party's high morale and Sun Jian's banner that had not moved, where could he not guess the truth? Immediately sneered disdainfully.
But despite this, Cai Mao did not underestimate Sun Jian because of this, after all, from the last confrontation to the present, Cai Mao has never bargained for anything in Sun Jian's hands. It's just that now that Sun Jian is doing this, Cai Mao obviously has more ideas.
"Attack! Stop Sun Jian from boarding the ship! Cai Mao said in a deep voice. Originally, he just wanted to delay the speed of the enemy's retreat, but since Sun Jian took the initiative to stay behind the palace, Cai Mao naturally would not let go of this opportunity. After all, even if he failed, Sun Jian was in a hurry to retreat and had too few troops, and he would not have any losses. But if successful......
For a while, arrows continued to fly out from the formations of the two armies, and landed in the opponent's formations. Even if there was a shield to resist, it also brought a lot of screams. Immediately, Liu Biaojun launched an attack on Sun Jianjun, without any temptation, and soon the two sides fought together.
"Keep boarding! Don't stay! On the shore, Huang Gai and others, who were in charge of directing the troops to board the ship, kept shouting, and from time to time, they looked anxiously at Sun Jian in front of them.
Speaking of which, they originally hoped that Sun Jian would board the ship and leave first, so that even if they lost some of their troops, at least Sun Jian left. But on the contrary, Sun Jian insisted on leading the army to the queen of the palace, but Huang Gai and others were helpless about this, because from before to now, Sun Jian has always been like this.
But perhaps because of this, Sun Jianjun's soldiers will be so strong in combat effectiveness, even if as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer soldiers on the shore, but Sun Jianjun is still resisting the enemy army to the death, protecting the continuous retreat of friendly troops.
Seeing this, Cai Mao suddenly turned his head to look at Huang Zhong and Zhang Yun on the side and said, "General Huang! Wencheng! You guys too! Be sure to leave Sun Jian for me! Cai Mao's tone was full of firmness, if he just had such an idea just now, then obviously, he was planning to fight. After all, there are fewer and fewer enemy soldiers.
"No!" When Huang Zhong and Zhang Yun heard this, they immediately led the army to kill them.
And with the addition of these two troops, Sun Jianjun, who was getting fewer and fewer troops, suddenly felt tremendous pressure. Especially Huang Zhong, who took the lead, saw him wielding an eighty-pound phoenix mouth knife, waving it up and down quickly, as if this knife did not have any weight in his hand, rushing all the way to kill, as if he had entered a no-man's land.
"My lord! I'm going to stop the man! Seeing this, a strong man beside Sun Jian immediately shouted loudly. His name is Hu Che'er, but he was recruited when Sun Jian was recruiting troops in the past, and with his extraordinary martial arts, he became Sun Jian's personal guard captain.
"Not necessarily! It's almost there, and we're ready to board the ship. Sun Jian stopped Hu Che'er and said. But at this time, Sun Jian's army on the shore was less than 10,000 people.
Well, although many, those generals in the film and television will only start to evacuate after all the soldiers have evacuated, but in reality, this is obviously not possible. After all, the fewer people there are, the more dangerous they are, and it can't really be at the last batch when Sun Jian starts to evacuate, right? If that's the case, Sun Jian is not a Jiangdong Tiger, but should be called Jiangdong Erha.
Over there, Huang Zhong saw that Sun Jian began to retreat, and he was immediately extremely anxious, and the phoenix mouth knife in his hand was even more urgent.
Although Huang Zhongnai is now a Zhonglang general under Liu Biao, in terms of official rank alone, there are only one or two people above him, and even Cai Mao is also under Huang Zhong. But in fact, among Liu Biao's command, the Cai family and the Kuai family headed by Cai Mao and Kuai Liang are the most powerful, as well as Huang Zu, who guards Jiangxia.
The reason why this is the case is also very simple, the Cai family and the Kuai family are the big families of Nanjun, and the Huang family of Huang Zu is also a famous family in Jiangxia. And what about him Huang Zhong? It's just a lonely person, and he's still from Nanyang.
So Huang Zhong has always been desperate to have the opportunity to prove himself, but it's a pity that Sun Jian attacked Nanjun twice in a row, either followed Cai Mao and was defeated by Sun Jian, or directly defended Xiang *** There was no chance. But now! The opportunity presented itself, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Sun Jian's child is leaving!" Huang Zhong shouted while chasing, the phoenix mouth knife in his hand flew up and down, constantly harvesting the lives of the enemy.
Maybe it's sensed? It may also be that Huang Zhong's voice is loud enough, Sun Jian, who was retreating, turned his head violently, looked at Huang Zhong who was rushing towards him, and suddenly showed a smile, "That person's name is Huang Zhong, right?" But it's a rare fierce general! It's a pity that the time is not right, otherwise it would be ......"
"Lord, hurry up and board the ship!" Before Sun Jian finished talking to himself, Hu Che'er on the side urged angrily.
"Got it~" Sun Jian said lightly, and then he was about to turn around and retreat towards the ship. It's just that at this moment, he suddenly saw Huang Zhong, who was about two hundred steps away from him, hanging the big knife in his hand on his horse, and at the same time drawing a raised bow, and then saw him bending his bow and arrows, and the direction of aiming was himself.
"The distance is nearly two hundred steps, this Huang Zhong ......" Sun Jianzheng thought disdainfully, suddenly, his eyes froze, because he saw that as soon as Huang Zhong's right hand was loosened, the arrow on the string instantly turned into a black dot.
"Can't hide?!" A thought flashed in Sun Jian's heart, and at the same time, the ancient ingot knife in his hand quickly slashed towards the black spot!
But listen to "Smack! With a bang, an arrow was split by Sun Jian and fell to the ground, but before he could say anything, he saw that there was an arrow behind the arrow.
"Poof!" With a bang, the arrow shot directly into Sun Jian's chest. The speed was so fast that even Sun Jian didn't have time to react.
"Lord!" Seeing this, Hu Che'er on the side suddenly shouted in horror, and at the same time couldn't care much, picked up Sun Jian, who fell to the ground, and ran towards the boat quickly.
"Leave Sun Jian!" A loud shout rang out again, and then an arrow struck again. At that speed, not to mention that Hu Che'er had his back to Huang Zhong at this time, even if he stared at it head-on, he might not be able to dodge.
"Poof!" With a bang, the arrow pierced Hu Che'er's throat, instantly causing Hu Che'er to fall to the ground, and at the same time pressing Sun Jian under him.
"General Huang's Divine Shot!" Seeing this, the soldiers of Liu Biaojun, who were attacking, immediately shouted, and their morale soared for a while, and they frantically killed the enemy. Especially the few people closest to Sun Jian rushed forward desperately, because they knew that as long as they could grab Sun Jian's body, even if the head work was Huang Zhong's, they would be able to worry about food and clothing from now on.
"Are you going to die?" Sun Jian, who was pressed under Hu Che'er, thought secretly in his heart, at this time, the noise in his ears became more and more subtle, and his vision began to become more and more blurred. The only thing that could be seen was Hu Che'er's hideous face and eyes that hadn't been closed yet.
At this moment, several sounds like thunder sounded not far away, but Huang Gai and others, who had already boarded the ship and were about to leave when Sun Jian got on the boat, hurriedly led the guards over.
"Quick! Save the lord on the boat!! A voice shouted anxiously, accompanied by a cacophony of shouts of killing. Then Sun Jian felt as if he had left the ground and was moving quickly towards one place.
At the same time, there were people in my ears who kept shouting, "Lord! You'll be fine! You must hold on......" The tone of the voice carried a hint of strong self-blame and remorse, obviously if they did it again, even if they used to fight, they would have to take Sun Jianqiang away.
"Help me...... Take care of ...... Ce'er ......" An intermittent word came out of Sun Jian's mouth, and it could be seen that just such a sentence seemed to have exhausted all of Sun Jian's strength. Although Sun Jian tried his best to avoid his heart, he was still shot through the lungs by an arrow.
"Lord, you'll be fine......" The people around him comforted with grief, but this was not what Sun Jian wanted to hear.
"Help me...... Take care of ......" Sun Jian tried to say something again, only this time, he only barely said four words, and he couldn't make any sound anymore, only his lips were still trembling slightly. And even those two words, the sound is extremely subtle, and I am afraid that he may not be able to hear it himself in this noisy battlefield.
However, the people around him seemed to understand what Sun Jian meant, and immediately replied loudly in a crying voice, "Please rest assured, I will swear to protect the young son!" ”
Hearing this, Sun Jian nodded slightly, although the amplitude was so subtle that no one could see it clearly. He finally heard the identities of the people around him, Zu Mao, Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi and Han Dang, all of whom were his confidants. With their assurance, Sun Jian was enough to put his mind at ease.
After a while, Sun Jian felt that he had been let go, and the people around him seemed to be constantly shouting something, but he couldn't hear it clearly. However, he didn't care about that at this time, just quietly looked at the sky, although the scene in his eyes at this time was only a vague white.
"I didn't expect that I would die here, or such a way to die......," Sun Jian thought to himself mockingly. Although the general inevitably died in battle, in Sun Jian's fantasy of death, it definitely did not include being killed by arrows.
Thinking of this, Sun Jian's consciousness became more and more blurred, but at this moment, what appeared in his mind was not his eldest son Sun Ce, but Li Yi.
"Wentai, I know that you are brave in martial arts, but it is better not to always rush to the front for the sake of the general. After all, the sword has no eyes, especially on the battlefield, no matter how high the martial arts are, it is inevitable that he will be shot by stray arrows......" Sun Jian remembered what Li Yi said to him when he was discussing the yellow scarf with Li Yi in the past.
"Hehe, Zikang, did you expect my fate today, so you specially reminded me?" Sun Jian laughed at himself again in his heart, "It's a pity...... I thought I had a chance to ...... with you."
"Lord!" A mournful and desolate cry resounded throughout the Han River.
