Chapter 345: The Battle Across the River
Cheng Pu took a step forward and said, "Lord, I still think that Yuan Shu is deceitful and not credulous. ”
Sun Jian snorted coldly and said: "Demou's words are wrong, I want to take revenge, what does it have to do with Yuan Shu?" ”
Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing stepped forward and admonished: "If there is chaos today, the princes dominate one side, Changsha is a quiet place, and it is not appropriate to raise heavy troops with small hatred, and I hope that the eldest brother will think about it." ”
Sun Jian waved his hand and said, "The eldest husband needs to dominate the world, how can he be in a safe corner?" If you want to dominate the world, how can you have revenge and not take revenge? ”
"If the father must go, the son is willing to go with him!" A young man flashed out from the side and said.
Sun Jian turned his head and saw that it was his eldest son Sun Ce, who was now fifteen or sixteen years old, with a dignified appearance, and at a young age, he practiced martial arts, and many generals in the army were not his opponents.
"Haha, it turned out to be my family's Sun Lang, well, that Zhao Qian is young and promising, and my family's Sun Lang is even younger and promising!" Sun Jian laughed.
These veterans such as Cheng Pu and Huang Gai also looked at Sun Ce with some pity, and his growth was all trained by them together.
Looking at the generals under him, Sun Jian shouted, "Where is Huang Gai?" ”
"The last general will obey the order!" Huang Gai stepped forward and said.
Sun Jian looked at Huang Gai and ordered: "Order you to go to the river first, prepare warships, prepare more grain, grass and weapons, load the big ships with soldiers and horses, and Ke Rixing Division!" ”
"Order!"
Huang Gai took the order and left, and went to the riverside to prepare.
The news of Sun Jian's raising troops to attack soon reached Liu Biao in Jingzhou, who was shocked and hurriedly gathered the civil and military soldiers to discuss.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Sun Jian, the general of Changsha Taishou and the captives, does not want to stabilize and defend the land, but he raises troops to attack, what can he do?" Liu Biao asked.
Cai Mao frowned and said: "Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, and when he crusaded against Dong Zhuo, he was extremely brave and famous all over the world, and he should not be underestimated. ”
Kuai Liang stepped forward and said: "The lord doesn't have to worry too much, now Huang Zu can lead the troops of Jiangxia as the forerunner, and the lord can lead the people of Jingxiang to help." Sun Jian came across the river and lake, although he was brave, how could he use martial arts? ”
After listening to Kuai Liang's words, Liu Biao's heart was a little calm, and he said: "Zirou's words make my heart a little calm. De Jue immediately ordered someone to inform Jiangxia to guard Huang Zu and lead the troops to intercept Sun Jian. ”
"Obey the Lord's orders!" Cai Mao responded.
Liu Biao nodded and said, "Deqi, Wen Nuo, order the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou and face Sun Jian!" ”
"Order!" Cai Mao and Zhang Yun replied.
A few days later, Sun Jian led the generals to the boat prepared by Huang Gai by the river and sailed in the direction of Jiangxia.
"My lord, the other side of the river is the Jiangxia boundary, and you still need to take some precautions to prevent Huang Zu from sneaking attack." Cheng Pu said.
Sun Jian nodded and said: "Huang Zu has a short temperament, he has no plans and decisions, and it is not enough to be substantiated, Huang Gai listens to orders!" ”
"The last general!" Huang Gai flashed out.
"I ordered you to travel more than a dozen small boats, patrolling back and forth by the riverside, and the sergeant crouched in the boat and could not move lightly, but only back and forth, in order to confuse Huang Zu." Sun Jian said.
"Order!"
So Huang Gai led people to drive a small boat, and when they approached the opposite shore, they cruised back and forth.
On the other side of the river, Huang Zu really ambushed the crossbowmen and waited for Sun Jian's ship, and when he saw Huang Gai's fleet at this time, he didn't think about it, so he ordered to shoot it.
Sergeant Huang Zu got Huang Zu's order and only cared about shooting arrows, and at the end of the day, all the arrows were shot.
Sun Jian ordered the sergeant to pull out all the arrows on the boat, and roughly estimated that there were tens of thousands.
At this time, the wind direction changed, which happened to be a tailwind for Sun Jian, so Sun Jian ordered the sergeant to shoot all the arrows he had obtained.
Because of the wind, the strength and range of the arrows increased, and the crossbowmen who were in ambush on the shore had no hull to cover them, and many of them were killed at once, and the other soldiers could not resist and retreated.
"All the soldiers obey the order and go ashore!" Sun Jian shouted loudly.
The sergeants drove the boat, leaned on the shore, and after disembarking, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai immediately divided into two routes to outflank Huang Zu's camp.
Huang Zu drove the troops to resist, and after a while, Han Dang and Sun Ce came from behind, and the three-way army came to attack, Huang Zu couldn't resist, abandoned the camp, and retreated into Dengcheng in defeat.
Sun Jian said: "The public will take people to watch the ship, and the rest of the soldiers will follow me to pursue Huang Zu." ”
So, Huang Gai stayed behind to guard the ship, and Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others followed Sun Jian to continue to move forward.
Five miles away from Dengcheng, Sun Jian set up camp, led the army to the city of Dengcheng, and ordered people to scold the formation.
Huang Zu had no choice but to tidy up the soldiers and horses in Dengcheng City, and led Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, two generals, out of the city to fight.
"Huang Zu Xiao'er, how does it feel to be shot by your own arrows? Ha ha! Sun Jian laughed, and then the sergeant behind him also burst into laughter.
Huang Zu's face turned red, and he raised his whip and scolded: "Sun Jian, dare to invade the realm of my Han clan? ”
"Han clan relatives?" Sun Jian sneered, "I am here to ask for you on the edict of the Son of Heaven, why don't you get off the horse and surrender?" ”
Huang Zu was furious and said, "Zhang Hu, go out to take down this traitor for me!" ”
Zhang Hu glanced at Huang Zu with slanted eyes, and said in his heart: This Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, how can I be his opponent?
However, Zhang Hu still fought with a gun, after all, if the commander's order was not obeyed, it would really be death.
Han Dang saw it here, urged the horse out of the battle, and shouted loudly: "Use a cattle slaughtering knife to kill chickens, I will meet you!" ”
Although this Zhang Hu is afraid of Sun Jian, his martial arts are also good, and he was cautious at this time, and he fought with Han Dang for more than 20 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat.
However, after more than 20 rounds, Zhang Hu's strength gradually declined, but Han Dang became more and more courageous, and Zhang Hu couldn't hold on.
Chen Sheng, who was beside Huang Zu, was very righteous, and he did not hesitate, holding a big knife and going to help Zhang Hu.
"It's really despicable to bully more and less!" Sun Ce, who was beside Sun Jian, was dissatisfied.
Sun Jian glanced at it, smiled, and said: "I have heard for a long time that our Sun Lang's archery skills are extraordinary, and today I can open my father's eyes." ”
When Sun Ce heard this, he knew that this was a test given to him by his father, smiled slightly, pressed the spear, took off the bow and arrow, and said, "Let my father open his eyes today." ”
After that, Sun Ce pulled his bow and arrows away, aiming at Chen Sheng, who was running towards the battlefield, and suddenly his eyes were waiting, and as soon as his hand was scattered, the arrow shot towards Chen Sheng like a meteor.
only heard a scream, everyone looked towards the formation, it turned out that the sharp arrow shot by Sun Ce was right in front of Chen Sheng, and Chen Sheng fell off the horse, and he really died before he could get out of the school.
Zhang Hu, who was fighting with Han Dang, was taken aback when he saw Chen Sheng fall to the ground and die, and the movements in his hands couldn't help but be a little slow.
Originally, Zhang Hu's martial arts were not as good as Han Dang's, but now he lost his square inch, and Han Dang saw the opportunity, and he raised his knife and cut off half of his head, and he couldn't live.
