Sun Ce was originally a person who was born to love perfection.

Historically, Chen Shou commented on him: he is beautiful, funny, broad-minded, and good at employing people. It is the people who see it, they are all dedicated, and they are happy to die. Heroic spirit, fierce crown world, strange and strange, Zhiling in the summer. Divide Jiangdong, the base of the policy is also.

In addition, Jiangdong celebrity Xu Gongyan said: Sun Ce Xiaoxiong is similar to Xiang Ji.

Guo Jia: The strategy is light and unprepared, although there are millions of people, it is tantamount to walking alone in the Central Plains. If the assassin rises, the enemy of one man. In my opinion, I will die at the hands of the horseman.

There is too much praise for Sun Ce to say much, but it can be seen from the evaluation of Xu Gong, a famous scholar in Jiangdong, and Guo Jia, a ghost talent under Cao Cao's account in history, that Sun Ce's personality is actually a little stubborn and self-serving, and Guo Jia's evaluation is also quite accurate, Sun Ce did die indirectly at the hands of his husband.

Because of his relationship with Mrs. Wu, Liu Yi loves Wu and Wu, and he also has a little appreciation for Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong. Therefore, every time I go to Jiangdong, I can meet Sun Ce, I will mention him in private, and try my best to let him encounter the kind of thing in history because of the underestimation of the enemy.

If it weren't for Liu Yi's cultivation of his mind, then when Sun Ce was fighting with Cao Hong, he would definitely be self-defeating, and he would not have considered buying a flaw for Cao Hong at all, but would only blindly fight to the death with Cao Hong, and finally defeat Cao Hong with bravery. However, in this case, it will take more effort and effort, and after a while, it will have to deal with Cao Hong's army and even worse siege warfare.

If you can easily defeat your opponent, why bother with too much effort?

Now Cao Hong didn't know that the furious Sun Ce would actually commit adultery with him, and when he saw Sun Ce's spear, it would be swept away by his own blow. I was overjoyed, thinking that Sun Ce had finally been weakened by him. At that moment, Cao Hong shouted. Swinging his knife and attacking Sun Ce head-on.

However, Sun Ce waited. It was Cao Hong who attacked so unreservedly.

Liu Yi also said that when his strength is far superior to that of his opponent, it is best to attack the strongest part of the opponent.

Now, Cao Hong thinks that Sun Ce is young and weak, and wants to cut Sun Ce under the horse with a knife.

This also happened to fall into Sun Ce's plan.

The corners of Sun Ce's mouth couldn't help but sneer, the spear that was swinging away, retracted at a very fast speed, and then slammed the war horse, and shouted wildly: "Cao Hong! Look at the guns! ”

Sun Ce, who came first. Directly hit Cao Hong's long knife that was slashed head-on.

With a bang, Cao Hong's long knife was almost ungraspable, and a huge force, like a raging wave, rushed towards Cao Hong, causing Cao Hong's long knife to collapse into the air, revealing the flawed empty door on the front.

"Kill!"

What shocked Cao Hong was that Sun Ce's shot swept his long knife, making his upper body a little unstable. Stab him in the chest.

Syllable!

In the blink of an eye, Cao Hong could even feel that the heart shield on his chest had been shattered by Sun Ce's shot.

But at this time, Cao Hong's battlefield experience saved him, and he threw away his long knife at once without thinking. One by one, the pair grasped the spear of Sun Ce, who was very anxious, and at the same time, the whole person followed the momentum of Sun Ce's stabbing shot. The whole person abandoned the horse and retreated.

Of course, it seems. It was as if Sun Ce had penetrated Cao Hong from the horse's back with a shot.

"Huh?" Sun Ce knew what was going on, but he didn't expect it. Cao Hong actually temporarily grabbed his spear, preventing his spear from really piercing his body.

"Give me death!" Sun Ce was furious, picked up the overlord gun, and smashed Cao Hong to the ground.

Touch!

Cao Hong was slammed into the ground, causing the ground to feel as if it had been cracked.

Wow......

Cao Hong opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Tomorrow and today is your time of death!" Sun Ce jumped on his horse and raised his gun, and stabbed Cao Hong underground.

At the moment of life and death, Cao Hong forcibly suppressed his manic blood, turned over, and pulled out the saber hanging on his waist in time.

"Sun Ce Xiaoer! Cao remembers you, today's defeat will be repaid tomorrow! ”

Just when Sun Ce was about to kill Cao Hong again, Cao Hong jumped to the side and stood up, saying cruel words while rushing in the direction of his own military formation.

Sun Ce didn't know that Cao Hong's foot combat also had a set, and when he ran with all his strength, Cao Hong's running speed was not slower than the gallop of the war horse.

In the blink of an eye, Cao Hong had already fled back into the crowd of Cao soldiers who had rushed over from his army.

Cao Jun soldiers, they didn't expect Cao Hong to be defeated so suddenly, but as soon as they saw Cao Hong in danger, they rushed forward, intending to save Cao Hong.

"Humph! Count you Cao Hong running fast, but now is just the beginning, if you want to avenge this defeat, why wait until the next day? Today, Sun is going to take your Jiangdu City! ”

Sun Ce took advantage of the momentum of the defeat of Cao Hong, raised his gun and ordered: "The soldiers of the New Han Army, the Cao Army in front of us is the Cao Army that defeated our New Han Army in front of Jiangdu City the day before yesterday, and now, it is time for us to avenge the dead comrades of the New Han Army, and the whole army will kill me!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The 200,000 and 300,000 New Han troops shouted loudly and set off in unison.

Sun Ce's New Han Army had already trained its soldiers in full accordance with the New Han Army's military training drills, and all of them had been replaced with the standard weapons and equipment of the New Han Army. A well-trained army, when it moves together, is powerful and inspiring.

Originally, Cao Jun thought that the New Han Army that came to attack them again would be as undefeated as the New Han Army led by Liu Miao earlier. However, just looking at the momentum of the New Han Army now, it made them feel a chill in their hearts.

Cao Hong returned to the military formation of his own army, and before he could recover from his breath, he saw that the Xinhan army was actually launched with the whole army, and then he saw the soldiers of his own army, because of his defeat and seemed to be a little demoralized, he knew that if this battle really started, I was afraid that his army would be difficult to resist the enemy. At the moment, he immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, so that the rear of his army formation would become the front. Quickly retreat to Jiangdu City, and defend the fortified city.

The army of the New Han Army. It pressed forward like a wave, and Cao Jun was like a tidal wave. Quickly stepped back.

After a moment's effort, when the New Han army rushed forward and reached the distance within reach of the bow and arrow, countless anti-deer antlers and traps appeared on the retreating Cao army's position, blocking the New Han army's charge.

Sun Ce didn't expect Cao Hong to be so treacherous and slippery, and he set up a position, looking like he was going to fight a decisive battle with his own army, but he said retreat and retreated. And so quickly. This was really Sun Ce's surprise.

At this time, even if Sun Ce was no longer willing to let Cao Hong and his army retreat into Jiangdu City, he could only watch Cao Hong retreat from the battlefield at this time.

However, it also made Sun Ce's heart feel terrified, because it can be seen from the advance and retreat of the Cao army that the Cao army is indeed an elite and well-trained military horse, and its combat effectiveness is not low. In the real head-on battle, even if your own army can defeat in the end. But there will also be losses. Thinking of this, he no longer felt annoyed that Cao Jun had returned to Jiangdu City.

Because, at the current stage, he thought that there was no need to fight with Cao Jun for his life. To defeat the Cao army in Jiangdu City. There will be more ways to do it, and there is no need to rush it.

"Stop the offensive and order the sappers. Clear the obstacles in front of Jiangdu City first, and then attack the city in the next day. Now, let's set up camp first. He also invited Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and other military divisions to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss how to break through the Jiangdu City. ”

Sun Ce ordered the army to stop the attack and clear the obstacles in front of Jiangdu City first.

In the afternoon of the same day, a group of generals gathered in Sun Ce's Chinese army tent.

Sun Ce didn't say much, and asked Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and others directly: "Everyone, because of the problem of Jiangdu City, I think it is difficult for our army to go straight into Yangzhou as long as planned earlier, and take Yangzhou Shouchun directly, you have also seen the Jiangdu City in front of you, in recent years, it has been operated by Cao Cao like an iron bucket, the city is high and the walls are thick, and there are more than 200,000 elite Cao troops guarding it, and there are more than 200,000 elite Cao troops guarding it, and there is also the support of Yangzhou's naval army in the waterway. You say, how can we remove this nail first and destroy the Cao army of Cao Hong's department in Jiangdu City. ”

"General Sun, it is not difficult to capture Jiangdu City, but it is probably still a little difficult to destroy Cao Hong, after all, Jiangdu City has stationed too many Cao troops, if our army forcibly attacks the city, I am afraid that it will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800, and the loss will be too great." Lu Su did not give in and directly said his thoughts.

"Oh? Mr. Lu Su, how can we take Jiangdu City more easily? Sun Ce naturally attaches great importance to Lu Su, and over the years, he has always been able to get more advice from Lu Su by his side.

Lu Su walked to the tent hanging on the map in the camp, raised his hand and pointed to Jiangdu City: "Look, in the whole of Yangzhou, in the eastern part of the coastal area, there is only one Jiangdu big city, which is seven or eight hundred miles away from Yangzhou Shouchun. It can be said that this Jiangdu City, which is the advance base of Cao Cao's former territory with our forces, is a lonely city. As long as we bring in more military horses, we will surround the Jiangdu City. Well, there is no way for us to enclose the other waterway facing the Huai River, but we can control this section of the waterway to Hongze Huze and cut off the connection between Jiangdu and Shouchun. On the other hand, General Gan Ning could be asked to send a naval army to attack Huai'an directly by sea, cutting off the land route of Jiangdu City. In this way, if Cao Hong doesn't leave, then sooner or later he will have to be trapped by us in Jiangdu. But I think he will definitely retreat, and he will definitely not dare to defend the city in Jiangdu. So, I want to say that we can let Cao Hong escape by waterway, and then we will pursue along the waterway, so that we can kill all the way to Shouchun. In this way, Jiangdu will naturally fall into our hands. Lu thought that it would be much better than storming Jiangdu. ”

"Good! What do you have to say? ”

"This plan is very good, it can not only easily capture Jiangdu City, but also quickly attack Shouchun. To be honest, if our Jiangdong Army fails to open up the situation for a long time and lags behind the New Han Army on the Jingzhou side, then we will be able to drag the lord Liu Yi back from unifying the Han Dynasty. If we did not join forces with the armies of the various units of the New Han Army under the city of Xudu on time, it would also be a pity for us. Zhang Zhao understood Sun Ce's thoughts and said.

"Oh, that's good, the generals will listen to ......"

Sun Cejun did not storm Jiangdu in the future, but only cleared all the obstacles outside Jiangdu that prevented the New Han army from attacking the city, of course, exchanged shots with the Cao army in the city, and occasionally fought a battle.

Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army naturally did not just send Zhou Yu to his own rate, he once again requisitioned more than 100,000 or 200,000 men and horses, and surrounded the east, south, and north of Jiangdu City, leaving only the west side along the river with no way to surround it. However, Gan Ning sent General Jiang Qin to lead a naval army to come to support and cut off the boat passage on the river. In addition, please also be ready to go to sea at any time to attack General Gan Ning, who is in addition to Zhou, and first seize the Huai'an area in Yangzhou.

Of course, in the entire southeast coastal area of Yangzhou, Sun Ce sent several other generals to seize those small towns.

In this way, within a few days, Jiangdu City has truly become an isolated city, trapped in Jiangdu and unable to move.

Cao Hong, who was still recuperating from his injuries in Jiangdu City, began to feel bad.

If he can defeat the New Han Army and not be trapped in Jiangdu by the New Han Army, then he naturally will not have any worries. However, now that he has lost contact with Shouchun's Cai Mao Army, the distance is too far, and if something happens, it will be too late to rescue.

When the news of the area around Huai'an was also captured by the New Han army, Cao Hong's uneasy feeling was even greater. He had even guessed that his 200,000 or 300,000 Cao army was trapped in Jiangdu City, and the daily military rations were incalculable, and if there was no external assistance and support, it would be a little difficult for him to hold Jiangdu for a month.

If his 300,000 Cao army is wiped out in Jiangdu, it will also be a great blow to Cao Cao. He, Cao Jun, couldn't afford such a big loss.

Being alone is the most disadvantageous. Cao Hong is also a bold general, knowing that the situation is not good, he immediately made a decision, planning to take advantage of the fact that the siege of the New Han army is not too tight, he should immediately lead the army of Jiangdu to abandon the city and withdraw to Shouchun, and go to defend Shouchun with Cai Mao. The combined military horses of him and Cai Mao are about the same as 500,000 or 600,000 troops, and this strength is basically equal to the strength of Yuan Shuxiong when he occupied Yangzhou. With these hundreds of thousands of troops to hold Shouchun, they will definitely be able to block the northward advance of the Jiangdong New Han Army.

The idea was certain, and he immediately began to prepare for the evacuation of Jiangdu.

However, his army of 200,000 or 300,000 was different from what Sun Ce and Lu Su expected, and he did not plan to withdraw by water, but planned to withdraw to Shouchun by land.

In Jiangdu, there are not so many ships that can allow Cao Hong to leave by water, not to mention, Cao Hong knows the strength of the New Han Army, and most of the elite Cao Army he leads are also the children of the north, and they are not good at water warfare. To retreat from the waterway is to seek death.

But how to break through the siege of the New Han army by land? Cao Hong has a plan on his mind. (To be continued.) )
