Chapter 40: The Courage of the Soldiers
Walking into the door, a group of light men in the courtyard saw Liu Guang coming, thinking that they were very familiar with it, and came over to say hello one by one. saw Shou Chun Ling, who was serving as a civil official, but he looked at him coldly. Shou Chunling scolded secretly, and finally passed the front yard and arrived at the main hall of the house, only to see two people striding over, one of them with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, heroic and extraordinary, and laughed: "How can the captain have time to come to the younger brother's house today?" β
Shou Chun was surprised in his heart: This sub-end's appearance is extraordinary, could it be the son of Wucheng Hou?
Liu Guang was not polite, and said straight to the point: "Sun Lang, you have to save me!" β
Sun Ce doubted: "What did the captain say, I know that the Lujiang soldiers are coming to the city, but there are only a few thousand people, with the solidity of Shouchun City and the wisdom and courage of the captain, can they not hold it?" β
"If there is only this one, I don't have to worry about it. But the day before yesterday, I heard a report from the government that after Xu Lujiang captured Hefei, he divided his troops to the north, and it was very likely that he wanted to attack my Shouchun with Xu Shu! β
"Oh?" Sun Ce pretended to groan, and then said: "The captain is in trouble, Ce should have helped, but ...... One is that he has not reached the crown in his year, but he is white and powerless to help the captain; Second, before the expedition, my father said that let Ce keep to himself at home, and he must not provoke right and wrong. I'm afraid I'll disappoint the captain. β
Liu Guang wanted to say more, but he heard a commotion outside the door, and when he looked over, it was a cronie of his own family who rushed over, as if he was in a hurry, but he was stopped by the light man in the courtyard and was not allowed to enter.
Liu Guang turned back and walked out of the main hall, and listened to the cronie say loudly: "The Lujiang soldiers have attacked the city!" β
......
......
After Liu Guang left, Sun Ce said to Lu Fan and Sun Hedao sullenly: "Ziheng and Bohai are just opponents in chess, but unfortunately they don't have a chance to compete." β
Lv Fan, the word Ziheng.
Seeing Sun Ce's expression of great regret, Lu Fan persuaded: "Sun Lang, Marquis Zhaowu and Marquis Wucheng are both courting the princes of Dong, you can't mess around." β
Sun Ce sighed: "Is it precisely because of this that I can't help Captain Liu fight with the Lujiang soldiers?" In the past, my father wrote a letter, in which he praised the generals under the command of Zhaowu Hou, saying that there were many figures such as Han Yigong, Cheng Demou, and Huang Gongfu. Now he sent Xu Shu to attack the north of Jiujiang County, and it is a pity that I am in a delicate situation in the city, and I can neither go out of the city to fight with it, nor can I make friends with these heroes, which is very regrettable, very regretful! β
Sun Cexi befriended heroes, almost obsessed, all the heroes who passed by Shouchun, as long as he knew it, he had to make friends. Lu Fan knew Sun Ce's temper, so he smiled slightly at the moment and didn't say anything more.
But he didn't know that Sun Ce had made up his mind, he must go to see the warriors under Xu Chu's command, and after noon, he quietly left the house and went to find Liu Guang.
Liu Guang was looking at the position of Xu Shu outside the city at the head of the city.
Xu Shu formed two outer square and inner circle of the foot formation, the middle and decent, the left and right front and rear of the formation, are arranged in front of the heavy armor, spears, short soldiers in the back, the formation of the square in the middle, is each curve Zhang Shi.
Liu Guang watched carefully, but saw that in the front of the formation, the soldiers on the right had not been properly arranged, and it was quite a mess, he was a decisive personality, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to take five hundred people to knock Xu Shu in front of the battle, intending to attack his unstable foothold.
At this time, there were soldiers on the left and right who persuaded: "Captain and slow, beware that this is the enemy general's trick to lure the enemy!" β
"A trick to lure the enemy?"
"That's right, lieutenant, please think twice, is there a reason to set up the rear formation first, and then arrange the front formation? This must be because the enemy generals think that our city is thick and thick, and they want to use this method to lure our troops out of the city and consume our strength. β
"......, that makes sense."
Liu Guang retracted the order. But I heard the soldier say again: "Captain, just now I carefully looked at the number of enemy troops under the city, and the enemy general seems to have deployed all his troops under the city." In this case, according to the agreement, Deputy General Zhang, who was stationed outside the city, would send people to attack the rear of the Lujiang soldiers, so the captain ordered the main force to assemble at the city gate, and only waited for Deputy General Zhang to light the wolf smoke, and then he could take the opportunity to kill out of the city, and the inside and outside should be combined! β
Liu Guang pondered for a moment and said, "Very good! Then he ordered the main force to assemble at the inner city gate and stand by.
After waiting for about an hour, when he saw the wolf smoke rising in the distance, Liu Guangxi said, "Pass my military order: open the city gate and attack the enemy!" β
At this moment, a person came to his side and said in a suspicious tone: "Strange." β
Liu Guang and Sun Ce have known each other for a long time, and as soon as they heard the voice, they knew that Sun Ce was coming, and said happily: "Sun Lang came just in time, and see how I can break the enemy!" β
Sun Ce looked at the city and still said, "Strange. β
"What's weird?"
"The enemy army is going to attack the city, why can't you see the siege equipment?"
"Perhaps....... Maybe it hasn't been shipped yet. β
"I don't think it like, Xu Shu has been fighting from Xu Chu for a long time, and he has a small name, since he is not ready, how can he easily deploy in the city?"
"What does Sun Lang mean?"
"I'm afraid it's a fraud!"
Rao is Liu Guang has always been heartbroken to Sun Ce, knowing that he has been immersed in the art of war since he was a child, he also smiled at this time: "Sun Lang is too worried, I have carefully observed just now, the two infantry formations under the city have nearly 2,000 people each, so Xu Shu has no extra troops, how can there be fraud?" β
Sun Ce suddenly slapped the female wall with his hand and said, "Oops, this must be the enemy general divided into a small force ambush in the middle of the road, trying to ambush Deputy General Zhang!" β
"A small strand...... Even if it is an ambush, I expect that there will be hundreds of people at most, and Vice General Zhang will command a thousand people, leaving some garrison camps, but they still have the upper hand, how can they be ambushed? β
The difference between Sun Ce and Liu Guang is, in the final analysis, the difference in the importance of the ability of the generals on both sides.
Sun Ce has been instilled by Sun Jian since he was a child, such as 'one soldier bears, one nest of bears', and Sun Jian is a role model, and he has always relied on leading the morale of the three armies. Therefore, Sun Ce believed that even if the ambush arranged by Xu Shu was a small force, there was a high probability that it would succeed.
As long as the leader of this small ambush is a figure like his father Sun Jian.
As far as Liu Guang is concerned, even if Xu Shu arranges Guan Yu to ambush him in front of him, he will probably not pay attention to it, after all, the Lujiang soldiers in these two phalanxes are what he sees and believes.
Liu Guang smiled again: "Sun Lang is too worried, so I ask you to see how I break the enemy in the city." After saying that, he actually went down to the city and wanted to personally lead the troops to attack.
Sun Ce shook his head, walked a few steps towards his home in the county seat, thinking of this Liu Guang and his acquaintance for several years, he finally made up his mind: How can a husband be a man in the world, how can he not save him from death? Anyway, if you save Liu Guang's life, you won't have trouble with Xu Hou.
ββSeeing that the gate of Shouchun City was wide open and the drawbridge was lowered, Xu Shu smiled and said: "Since the Shouchun guard dares to go out of the city to fight against the war, don't think about going back easily." Just now, I showed him in the chaos before, he didn't attack me, and now he is out of the city, but I want to beat him for an unstable foothold! β
The lead immediately asked: "Please let the general lead a song of foot soldiers to attack the enemy first!" β
Xu Shu bowed his head, "Zi Jingwen and Wu are all-rounders, and I am right." β
He ordered him to lead a sword and shield soldier to attack the enemy's right formation, entangled the enemy's few cavalry, about a hundred of them, and then ordered Li Tong to attack.
