Chapter 321 The name of the first blooming overlord
However, it was said that Sun Ce stayed in LΓΌmeng to garrison the generals, Yu Chuan was stationed in the public security, and Huang Gai was stationed in Jiangjin, and after a short period of armament replenishment, he led the army to Zigui. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ When Liu Bei was stationed in Jiangzhou, he waited for the army to be reorganized, came to get Zigui, and sent envoys to the four counties of Jingnan to order him to raise troops to attack Jiangling.
Sun Ce only took the two important towns of generals and public security, but because the four counties of Jingnan were still in the hands of Liu Bei, and Jingbei was Xun Gang's territory, Sun Ce looked like this, and he had the style of Huo Quai's eight hundred hussars to seal the wolf in Xu Mountain. But now he's more like going behind enemy lines, and he can only fight to the death.
Now Sun Ce can't withstand a few defeats, because Jiangxia is still in the hands of Xun Gang, not his territory, if he is defeated by Liu Bei this time, his own living troops will be completely wiped out, and he is very likely to be defeated and captured, and Jiangdong will inevitably be taken by Cao Cao in one go!
If so, then the overall situation of the world has been decided.
Sun Ce is unwilling to let the world become a scorched earth in Cao Cao's hands, no matter how much he has to fight, doesn't he? Cao Cao's southward movement was only a matter of time, and if he did not take this opportunity to consolidate his power, even if he could defeat Cao Cao at that time, it would be difficult to enter the Central Plains.
Therefore, the five counties of Jingnan, he is bound to win!
Now Liu Bei, who is in Jiangzhou, is his confidant, Jiangling is a key terrain, and there are only two dangerous places to defend in Yizhou, one is Zigui, where Cheng Pu is stationed now, and the other is the Yaoting in the east of Yidu.
Zigui is a fortified city, while Yaoting is a dense forest canyon with dangerous terrain. Sun Ce ordered Zhou Yu to lead 3,000 men to set up a formation in Yaoting, just in case, and he led the remaining troops to Zigui to rescue.
In the summer of the tenth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce broke through Jiangling and turned to welcome Liu Bei's team in Zigui, when Liu Bei had 30,000 troops in Jiangzhou, he heard that Sun Ce only had 3,000 people to guard Zigui, and he was disdainful in his heart, thinking that he was a child, so he led 10,000 troops to Ma Zhong, Wu Yi and other Shu generals to lead 10,000 troops first, and he led 20,000 troops as backup. Xun Gang in the north did not intend to get involved in the war, and seemed to intend to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Ma Zhong and Wu Yi marched to the foot of Zigui City, and saw that the city wall was densely covered with flags, and the defenders were well defended, so they did not dare to slack off. Because Zigui City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Ma Zhong and Wu Yi intend to divide their troops to encircle Zigui, but Zigui relies on the Yangtze River and transports Bada.
When Sun Ce had arrived in Zigui, he heard that Liu Bei had already sent troops to come, thinking that he had been in Jiangdong for many years and had no reputation, and Liu Bei would inevitably underestimate himself. Now there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in the vanguard, if you only guard Zigui, it will not be difficult, but after Liu Bei's army arrives, Zigui will be broken!
So Sun Ce summoned Lu Su and Cheng Pu and discussed: "Now that the four counties of Jingnan are still in Liu Bei's hands, we should immediately make a name for ourselves, so that Liu Bei will not dare to underestimate us!" At this moment, the soldiers and horses outside the city are Liu Bei's pioneers, and we should attack them quickly, so that Liu Bei will not dare to defy us! β
Now that they are deep behind enemy lines, all strategies cannot be stabilized, and the two have no choice but to agree. So Sun Ce led a thousand troops to fight Ma Zhong, Ma Zhong saw that the enemy army was out of the city, and the two armies were facing each other, and asked: "Who is coming, report your name!" β
Sun Ce crossed his gun on the horse and said menacingly: "A certain is Jiangdong Sun Bofu, if you know my name, why don't you come and die quickly!" β
Ma Zhong saw that it was Sun Ce, and sneered: "Sun Bofu is just a native chicken and a dog, what is there to be afraid of?" If it weren't for Brother Ling's defeat of Jiangdong territory but his death to the enemy, how could you be presumptuous here? If you don't get off the horse and surrender quickly, and offer the territory of Jiangdong, my lord will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing! β
Sun Ce was furious when he heard this, and rode a horse to take Ma Zhong, Ma Zhong disdained Sun Ce, and went to take Sun Ce with a small general, but he didn't want the young general to shout arrogantly for a while, but he was killed by Sun Ce with a shot. Ma Zhong was taken aback, it turned out that he was too light on the enemy, so he personally went out to meet Sun Ce.
The two confronted each other, Ma Zhong looked at Sun Ce, who looked quite relaxed, and said in his heart: "Fang is that I underestimate Your Excellency, please!" β
Sun Ce did not answer him, but directly rode a horse to fight, Ma Zhong was unable to defend himself, and was almost taken down by a shot, but Ma Zhong was also brave, and after fighting with Sun Ce, he knew that the enemy was not enough, so he shook a shot, and rode the horse away, Sun Ce was reluctant, and Pegasus came to take Ma Zhong.
Seeing that Sun Ce was getting closer and closer to Ma Zhong, Ma Zhong had no choice but to ask for help: "Ziyuan save me, Ziyuan save me!" β
Wu Yi didn't expect that the two of them underestimated Sun Ce too much, but let him show his might here, and immediately rode a horse to save Ma Zhong, Ma Zhong turned the horse's head and turned around to fight with Sun Ce.
"This Sun Ce's courage is so amazing, not inferior to General Huang in the slightest!"
The two fought with Sun Ce for more than ten rounds, but they were beaten by Sun Ce's dazzling marksmanship at all, and then they realized that Sun Ce's bravery was not inferior to Huang Zhong, and he had always underestimated him too much before. As a last resort, the two could only abandon Sun Ce and withdraw to the formation.
I thought it would be a lot safer to withdraw to the formation, but I didn't expect Sun Ce to see the loss of the two, and he was furious in his heart, so he came to charge the battle single-handedly, and the two were shocked, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers and horses to resist Sun Ce, but Sun Ce's horse leg kicked off the shield, flew into the battle, and rampaged, as if the overlord possessed the body, as if entering a no-man's land.
Ma Zhong and Wu Yi intended to encircle Sun Ce with troops, trying to trap Sun Ce, but Sun Ce walked smartly, and the encirclement that had just formed was defeated by Sun Ce in a chaotic rush, seeing that Sun Ce had killed more than ten people and cut countless flags, but the two of them could not do anything, it was really a wreck!
However, when the people were finally exhausted, Sun Ce killed for a while, and in addition to the battle with Ma Zhong and the two just now, he lost a lot of physical strength and gradually exhausted himself. Ma Zhong and Wu Yi saw that there was an opportunity, and hurriedly led their troops to surround it, but they didn't expect that Cheng Pu's army suddenly killed in the city, and Sun Ce's 1,000 men and horses rushed to save Sun Ce. Because Ma Zhong and the others took too much care of Sun Ce in the formation, they were killed by the troops outside the formation, and they lost more than half of their troops, so they had to retreat to Wuxian.
Sun Ce won a victory, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and everyone praised Sun Ce's bravery and praised him as a "little overlord". So the name of the little overlord spread to Liu Bei, Liu Bei was furious, thinking to himself, how dare he be presumptuous? Then I came to get Zigui immediately.
Hearing the arrival of Liu Bei's army, the Zigui defenders were excited, thinking that they were going to fight a decisive battle with Liu Bei, but they didn't expect that at this time, a military order that stunned them was suddenly issued.
The whole army withdrew from Zigui and retreated to Yaoting.
This decision made the soldiers of Sun Cejun, who had just been greatly boosted, puzzled, why did they retreat when they had won a big victory before? Liu Bei, didn't he have more than 10,000 people, did he need to be so afraid?
However, Sun Ce and others actually made such a decision, in fact, they had their own considerations.
First of all, Zigui is far away from Jiangling, and Liu Bei's four counties of Jingnan have already raised troops to attack Gong'an and Jiangjin.
Retreat to the Yaoting, one is closer to Gangneung, and you can be lips and teeth for each other; Second, the terrain of Yaoting is dangerous, if Liu Bei's army wants to pass through here, if an ambush is set up, it can be decided in a battle. On the contrary, if you are still trapped in Zigui, even if you win, then Gangneung will lose, and this battle is no different from defeat.
Those soldiers who don't understand these military strategy principles will naturally complain.
However, complaining is complaining, they still have to do things according to Sun Ce's plan, after all, the soldier's duty is to obey.
So Liu Bei's soldiers took Zigui bloodlessly, but Sun Ce joined Zhou Yu of Yaoting at this time, laid out a formation, and prepared to confront Liu Bei.
Liu Bei saw Sun Ce fleeing without a fight, thinking that he was afraid of himself, and he couldn't help but reduce his vigilance against this lord of Jiangdong, thinking that the previous defeat of Ma Zhong and Wu Yi was just Sun Ce's luck, and he didn't understand Sun Ce's strategic considerations later.
Liu Bei did not stop and marched towards the Yaoting......
