Chapter Seventy-Three: Elegy

Early the next morning, Jiang Rusong went out of the city to meet Sun Rong, and as soon as Sun Rong saw him, he excitedly held his hand: "Great joy!" According to Sun Chaozong's report, Lian Dayong led an army of 40,000 and Yu Chenglie divided his troops. They wanted to encircle us from the north and from the east, and by two ways. ”

Jiang Rusong was stunned: "Forgiveness will be dull, I don't know where the joy comes from?" ”

Sun Rong: "Why don't you understand, which is easier to fight 100,000 or 40,000?" ”

Jiang Rusong was quite surprised: "The general wants to take the initiative? ”

Sun Rong nodded with a smile: "Even you can't think of it, and Yu Chenglie and they can't even think of it." ”

Jiang Rusong: "If the general doesn't stop the enemy army here, won't he give up the entire Fanjin City to Yu Chenglie?" ”

Sun Rong: "Rather than attacking cities and plundering land, what can dominate the outcome of a war is the living force that destroys the enemy. Besides, Guo Ru is holding on to the city, and it may not be able to support us to return to the army to relieve the siege. ”

Having said that, I was still a little uneasy when I thought about it, and called a personal soldier and ordered: "You go back to the city and tell Guo Ru that you must defend Fanjin City no matter what, and wait for us to come back." If he dies in battle, his son will be my son Sun Rong!" ”

The soldiers turned around and wanted to leave, but they were stopped by Sun Rong again: "Wait a minute, you ask Guo Ru to send all the money obtained yesterday here immediately, the sooner the better!" ”

Jiang Rusong frowned when he heard this: "General, it's time for ......"

Sun Rong smiled enigmatically: "This general has his own wonderful use, and I will explain it to you later." ”

In the afternoon, in a sloping valley next to the official road at the foot of Heng Mountain, Sun Rong and his 50,000 people lay in ambush here, waiting for the arrival of Lian Dayong's troops. The road not far from their hiding place was littered with treasures, and anyone who saw them could not help but salivate. When a few passers-by saw these ownerless belongings, their eyes lit up and they ran away desperately, and as they frantically stuffed their clothes, several cold arrows flew out from behind and shot them to death, paying with their lives for their greed.

"General, do you want to remove the corpse?" Jiang Rusong asked Sun Rong for instructions.

Sun Rong shook his head: "No, just pull out the arrow on the corpse." For a while, even Dayong will only see property in their eyes, and they will not care about these grass people. Besides, with these corpses, doesn't it just create the illusion that they are fighting unevenly? ”

Jiang Rusong nodded and said: "The general is high, and it is beyond the reach of the last general!" ”

As the two of them spoke, smoke and dust suddenly appeared at the end of their field of vision, thinking that Lian Dayong's army had arrived here. Sun Rong looked back at Jiang Rusong and said: "I reiterate to the soldiers that my general order is that this battle is not based on the merits of the head, but only on the big victory." As long as you take down the head of Lian Dayong, everyone who participates in the battle will be rewarded! "Lian Dayong is the number two person in the rebels, and he almost died in the battle with him, although Sun Rong has the opportunity at the moment, he still does not dare to slack off. In order to prevent soldiers from being greedy for merit and cutting off their heads to seek rewards and affect the killing of the enemy, it was forbidden in advance.

Soon, Lian Dayong's troops entered Sun Rong's ambush circle, and sure enough, gold and silver suddenly appeared in front of him, and the soldiers who walked in the forefront were all excited, and even some generals couldn't resist the temptation, competing to jump off the war horses and snatch each other. The world is bustling, all for profit, they rebel with their heads, not to compete for fame and profit, there are a few people who really have ideals and ambitions, in the face of such temptation, it is really impossible to blame them for not being able to keep calm.

The scene instantly got out of control, and more and more rebels joined the looting, pushing and trampling each other, and even swords. Seeing that the situation was not right, Lian Dayong hurriedly raised his whip to the front, and immediately blocked the subordinates who wanted to rush into the crowd in the rear: "If you dare to make a mistake without permission, you will be decided!" "Under his deterrence, the chaotic scene was a little quieter." Drop your belongings and return to the team! Lian Dayong shouted loudly.

However, it was too late, and at the moment when the subordinates hesitated, Sun Rong had already shouted and led the troops to kill. The two armies collided, and immediately the blood mist filled the air, and even Dayong's troops fell into chaos again, and the men and horses trampled on each other, which was even more unbearable than when they were fighting for property just now.

The horse's hooves were like thunder, the dust was flying, and the rebels on the battlefield fell one after another, and the moment they landed, what flashed in their minds was no longer the enemy in front of them or the gold beads all over the ground, but the silver hair of the parents' temples and the shallow smile of the wife and children.

Lian Dayong deserves to be one of the leaders of the rebels, and in such an unfavorable situation, it was the commander who blocked Sun Rong's impact again and again. The battle situation gradually became a stalemate, and the soldiers on both sides seemed to have a fire burning in their eyes, trying their best to devour everything around them.

"Reinforcements are coming!" I don't know who shouted behind Sun Rong's formation, this shout was like the last firewood added to the fire in the chest of Sun Rong's troops, and the Wei army suddenly became imposing, howling and rushing towards the enemy formation. Even Dayong's side could no longer resist the enemy, and he broke away. After the battle, the corners of Sun Rong's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled secretly, where did he get any reinforcements, it was just a strategy he deliberately called it so to boost morale.

The victory and defeat have been divided, and the rebels who have not escaped have all been reduced to pieces of meat lying on the ground, some of them are not yet dead, and let out a faint moan, but then they were mended by Sun Rongjun, who was inspecting the battlefield, and fell silent. At this moment, Sun Rong looked at the corpses of the rebels with a solemn face, trying to find the one that belonged to Lian Dayong, with only Bai Sang and four or five soldiers of the Iron Guard Battalion beside him.

"Pick out all the corpses in generals' uniforms, and let those captives recognize whether they are brave or not." Sun Rong shouted orders to the soldiers in the distance.

"Yes!" The soldiers answered, and continued to bury their heads in clearing the battlefield.

"General, the battlefield is dangerous, leave the matter of finding Lian Dayong to your subordinates!" Bai Sang persuaded.

Sun Rong sighed: "Hey, I can't see Lian Dayong's head for a moment, so I don't dare to relax for a moment!" ”

At this moment, seven or eight "corpses" that were about twenty paces away from them suddenly bounced up from the ground, drew their knives and rushed towards Sun Rong.

"General Sun doesn't have to bother looking for it, Lian is here!" As he spoke, the first person had already rushed to Sun Rong, and a blue light flashed, swinging a knife directly to Sun Rong's left chest. The person who spoke was Lian Dayong, seeing that the sneak attack was about to succeed, Sun Rong abruptly avoided horizontally, and the knife did not hit Sun Rong, but landed on Bai Sang's left shoulder beside him.

Bai Sang was in pain, instinctively touched the wound before drawing a knife to meet the enemy, and worked with Sun Rong and the two to entangle Lian Dayong. And even Dayong seems to have been ready to sacrifice his life, and he is dangerous, only attacking but not defending. In the battle, I am most afraid of encountering such a deadly style of play, although at the moment there are two against one, Sun Rong and Bai Sang can't get any cheap. This incident immediately aroused the vigilance of the surrounding Sun Rong soldiers, and they surrounded and killed the rest of the rebels. And Sun Rong's three sides were even more crowded with soldiers on the inside and outside of the three layers, but no one dared to act rashly.

In the fierce battle, Bai Sang gradually felt dizzy, and Lian Dayong in front of him seemed to be incarnated into five or six people, attacking from all over the world. In shock, he didn't know where to dodge, he was stunned, and he was stabbed in the right arm.

"White Sang! Are you okay? Sun Rong asked with concern.

Bai Sang shook his head twice, cheered himself up, and inadvertently saw that his right hand, which had just touched the wound, was covered with black blood, and said in horror: "General go quickly, the knife is poisonous!" ”

Sun Rong was a spirit, and his heart was shocked, at this moment, even Dayong was tightly entangled with him, let alone withdrawing from the battle, even if he was a distraction, he could be stabbed, how dare he say that he would leave.

"Don't let the general see blood." Although Bai Sang's consciousness became more and more blurred, he always had this thought in his heart. Gradually, Bai Sang felt a buzzing in his ears, and he was so lightheaded that he almost fell, it seemed that this poison could not be cured, just that! gritted his teeth and struggled to leap towards Lian Dayong.

Even Dayong couldn't accept it, and the blade of the knife didn't enter Bai Sang's chest. Bai Sang took the opportunity to hug Lian Dayong, spit a mouthful of black blood on his face, and shouted at Sun Rong with his last strength: "Go!" There was no need for Bai Sang to remind him, Sun Rong had already taken advantage of the gap to retreat behind the soldiers.

Looking at the black soldiers around him, Lian Dayong knew that he could not escape death, gave up resistance, lay Bai Sang's body flat, and took out the poison knife and put it into his arms. "Sun Rong!" Lian Dayong shouted, "Lian has two requests!" ”

Sun Rong showed half of his head behind the crowd: "You say! ”

Lian Dayong: "First, please ask this strong man's name!" ”

Sun Rong: "Bai Sang! ”

Lian Dayong nodded: "Bai Sang, Lian remembered it." Then he smiled bitterly, "There is Sun Zhao in the front, and Bai Sang in the back, and the warriors around you Sun Rong are like clouds, isn't our defeat providential?" ”

Sun Rong: "You are not bad, but unfortunately your opponent is my Sun Rong, not Hu Dun!" ”

Lian Dayong shook his head: "Yes, who would have thought that such a number one person as you would appear out of thin air." O God! We have exhausted our institutions and worked hard for so many years, is this the answer you gave us? Lian is not willing to do that! ”

Sun Rong didn't want to listen to him complain: "What is the second request?" ”

Lian Dayong slowly straightened up, held his head high, and spread his arms: "I hope your subordinates can tie Lian X from the front, and the soldier's wound should not appear on his back." ”

Sun Rong couldn't help but be moved by his courage, and separated the soldiers who were blocking him: "General Ben promises you!" "Pick up the knife and step forward.

A colonel exclaimed: "General, beware of his plots!" ”

"Bastard!" Sun Rong shouted angrily, "A soldier who has the consciousness of death, how can you allow you to speak so humiliating!" If you have more words, slash! ”

Two lines of heroic tears flowed from the corners of Lian Dayong's eyes: "Sun Rong, thank you!" He closed his eyes and said silently, "General! Dayong will come to see you soon, and Dayong has not forgotten your teachings all these years, and will never retreat on the battlefield......"

"Ann! Heart! Above! Road! As the last word landed, Sun Rong struggled to swing the knife in his hand. Blood splattered, Lian Dayong fell to the ground, and no one around cheered, silently offering the last respect to this former opponent.

After burying Bai Sang and Lian Dayong, of course, Lian Dayong's body had no head on it, Sun Rong cleaned up his mood and ordered him to return to the army as soon as possible.
