Chapter 59: The Death of Sun Jian

The defeat of Jingzhou Sailor gave Sun Jian a lot of confidence. Coupled with Liu Qi's continuous concessions for two consecutive days, Sun Jian felt that revenge on Liu Biao and the capture of Jingzhou were at this time.

Zu Mao led five thousand rabble of foot soldiers to follow behind Sun Jian, his brows furrowed, looking at Sun Jian's back gradually moving away, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious.

"Gong Qiu said, did General Sun Jing send a scout to say when he would support the lord?" Seeing that Sun Jian had disappeared on the other side of the hill, Zu Mao's face became more and more solemn.

"It's... General Sun Jing said that it would take about half a day to arrive in Changsha County. The public enemy asked puzzledly: "The enemy army is obviously retreating timidly, and the current strength of our army alone should be enough to capture Jingzhou, General Zu, what are you worried about?" ”

The situation is very good for Sun Jian, and even the gloom on the face of the public enemy is under Liu Qi's "defeat and retreat", and his eyebrows are dancing.

"Can't wait that long. The public enemy said that you are tired of commanding a thousand foot soldiers to press the rear formation, and I will speed up my pace to catch up with the lord. Zu Mao heard that Sun Jing would not be able to support Sun Jian in a day or two, so he decisively ordered: "Just in case, I'm worried that this is a trick of Liu Qi's father and son!" ”

"Please rest assured, the general will wait here for a while, if there are no reinforcements in the direction of Changsha, he will lead troops to support the lord." Gong Qiu said that he secretly laughed at Zu Mao in his heart, but he agreed, he was a grain transport officer, and he usually had hundreds of grain soldiers in his hands, and now he had the opportunity to command a thousand soldiers, and he was also very excited.

Zu Mao took a deep look at the public enemy and said, "Everything has General Lao." Brothers, follow me and catch up with them! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zu Mao himself took the lead and caught up with the official road like flying. These more than 4,000 rabbles were quite dissatisfied with the intermittent travel of dozens of miles in one day, and the lack of military food caused them to not have enough to eat, and they lacked warm clothes, so they cursed a few words without a good heart, Zu Mao just pretended not to hear it, and chased in the direction of Sun Jian without saying a word.

The four thousand people looked at the thousand colleagues who stayed with great envy, and scolded a few more words, and had no choice but to catch up with Zu Mao.

……

Sun Jian and Zu Mao chased Liu Qi one after the other, about more than 30 miles, and more than ten miles ahead of the road is a hidden valley, and after the valley, it is almost to Gong'an County.

By the time Sun Jian caught up, Liu Qi was already in formation, but Liu Qi's formations were a little ridiculous.

In Sun Jian's view, Liu Qi's army, which had more than 10,000 soldiers, retreated all the way, but only five or six thousand people were lost. Sun Jian couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed: "Boy Liu Qi, where else can you retreat?" ”

Liu Qi suddenly became furious and scolded: "Sun dog thief! Returning to our border, you dare to be so arrogant, treating our army as no one! Array, fight to the death and never retreat! The reward for capturing the old thief alive is a thousand gold, and the goalkeeper is sealed! ”

"Just with you, old and weak? What a joke! Sun Jian was furious when he heard it, Liu Qiduan was untaught, the left voice was Sun Lao thief, and the right voice was a dog thief, so angry that he was angry: "I can't wait to swallow your father and son alive!" Soldiers, charge into battle! The reward for killing Liu Qi is 10,000 gold! ”

Zu Mao didn't have time to dissuade him, and Sun Jian was already angry and slapping his horse to face the battle. As a last resort, Zu Mao commanded the infantry and said: "Soldiers, success or failure is here, kill!" ”

Boom Boom! The sound of war drums and horse trampling suddenly converged, Liu Qi couldn't imagine that Sun Jian couldn't bear to be angry, this was even more in his arms, Liu Qi raised his sword and said: "Soldiers, kill all these Jiangdong dog thieves!" ”

"Kill them all! War! War! War! ”

It's just a pity that Liu Qi's encouragement didn't seem to arouse the morale of the soldiers in the army, but they immediately panicked when they saw the menacing Sun Jian's 3,000 horse army.

"Old thief Sun, look at how the kid takes your dog's life!" Liu Qi was not inferior to the performance of his own army at all, but slapped his horse to meet Sun Jian, and the rest of the elite foot soldiers also met him at the same time.

Sun Jian was furious again, the war horse under his crotch jumped hard, crossed a distance of more than ten zhang, and the big knife slashed down, "The kid is looking for death!" ”

Sun Jian's knife is strong and heavy, not something that Liu Qi can resist, Liu Qi knows this, and takes advantage of the situation to pull the horse rope, the horizontal knife is oblique, and even the people and horses are shocked back a few steps by Sun Jian.

"Hah! Is that all you can do? Sun Jian was unforgiving, and the long knife in his hand went straight to Liu Qi's chest and abdomen, intending to slash Liu Qi at both ends.

Liu Qi scolded secretly: "Damn it! His complexion remained unchanged, and he continued to retreat and swing out more than a dozen knives, but unfortunately they were all separated by Sun Jian one by one.

"Rampant boy take his life!" Sun Jian roughly figured out Liu Qi's strength through the two battles just now, and the big knife was another fierce vertical split.

Syllable!

"Ah~ah!" Liu Qi was slapped on the back of Sun Jian's knife without noticing, spit out a mouthful of blood with a pop, and the sound of the knife behind him rose, Liu Qi couldn't care so much, struggled to clamp the war horse under his crotch, and shouted angrily: "Retreat!" ”

Kankan dodged a fatal knife, Liu Qi quickly fled towards the valley of more than ten miles as if he had a royal horse, and said as he fled: "Withdraw!" ”

The rest of the soldiers left their baggage, food, etc., and quickly retreated to the valley.

"Can you escape?" Sun Jian saw that the other party almost died under his own knife, but he let the other party escape, and he couldn't help but be angry, and chased after him.

Zu Mao saw that these routed soldiers didn't even want the warm clothes and food distributed in the army, and retreated quickly but in an orderly manner, his mind moved, and shouted at Sun Jian: "Lord, retreat quickly, there is an ambush!" ”

Where did Sun Jian still hear Zu Mao's reminder, now he just wanted to kill Liu Qi with all his heart, and he and Xu Kun led thousands of cavalry to chase away.

"Quick!" Zu Mao immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered left and right: "Quick, follow me to chase the lord back!" Beware of Liu Qi's ambush! ”

Before Zu Mao's words fell, he saw that the baggage that Liu Qi had left was suddenly caught in the coaxing of the infantry army and the soldiers of the horse army.

"This is mine!" "Why do you say it's yours! Lao Tzu picked it up first! "You dare to rob Lao Tzu's things! Get the hell out of here..."

……

The entire mountain road was still in a bloody battle, and in a blink of an eye, it became a place for these people to compete for baggage, and it was suddenly a mess, Zu Mao looked at it from a distance, and those soldiers who Liu Qi broke away intentionally or unintentionally, letting Sun Jian chase Liu Qi with more than 1,000 people.

"This sucks! We've been tricked! Zu Mao shouted loudly, but found that no one paid attention to him except for a few henchmen, and when he saw a few henchmen beside him, Zu Mao couldn't care about scolding those soldiers, and said, "You guys go and forcibly pull the lord back, we have been tricked!" ”

At this moment, something happened suddenly!

Roar, roar, roar! Knock knock!

The surrounding mountains and forests beat the rumbling war drums, and the flags drifted in the cold wind! And I don't know when, Liu Qi's soldiers who had just dispersed had already lined up in formation to defend the side of the valley.

Zu Mao's face turned pale, and he almost fell off the horse. These soldiers in front of them still don't perceive the danger coming, you fight for me, it's not lively!

"I've been waiting here for a long time!" Wen Ping rode on the war horse and shouted: "Brothers! It's time for them to know how powerful our Jingzhou elite is! Kill! ”

In the past two days, these soldiers have retreated and retreated, and the anger that they have endured for a long time finally broke out at this moment, rushing into the battlefield in all directions, slashing and killing these soldiers who seemed to have just sensed the crisis.

"Ahh My hand is broken! ”

"Ahh Help me! I surrender! Don't kill me......"

The sound of wailing, the sound of weapons handover, and the sound of war drums converged into a ball, and went straight to Zu Mao's mind and chest.

Lord, we are all wrong! Zu Mao sighed silently in his heart, they had fallen into Liu Qi's scheme from the beginning, and they didn't know until now, but it was too late. All the illusions created by Liu Qi, such as deserters in the army fleeing, retreating in fear of the enemy, reducing the stove, etc., are nothing more than making Sun Jian think that Liu Qi does not know how to govern the army, and the army is disheartened, and he leads them step by step into the location designed early in the morning to eliminate them in one fell swoop.

Until the abandonment of baggage caused the group of soldiers under Sun Jian to rob, Wen Ping seized the opportunity to besiege and eliminate it in one fell swoop.

Lord, you think Liu Qi and their military morale is weak, but in fact, we are right! Lord, I'm afraid you're also unlucky now! Hate! Zu Mao couldn't help but beat his chest and sighed, but unfortunately reality wouldn't let him do this.

"General Zu! Come on! Withdraw to Changsha, the lord's family is over there, and Liu Qi must not be allowed to succeed again! A reminder from his henchman suddenly made Zu Mao wake up instantly, "Let's go!" We open a way for you to live, general, go quickly! ”

Right! I can't die yet! The sailor is still there, General Sun Jing is still there, the descendants of the lord are still there, and we haven't lost yet! Zu Mao's heart brightened, and he looked at the direction where Sun Jian left with a complicated expression, and then stared at Wen Ping fiercely, and he was about to break through among the guards.

"Want to go?" Seeing this, Wen Ping slashed several times, and the enemy troops who surrounded him slashed and killed, and he was about to rush over. Seeing this, Zu Mao's henchmen rushed to Wen Ping as if they were desperate, "General Zu, go quickly!" ”

"Damn!" Wen Ping couldn't intercept and kill, so that Zu Mao's henchmen were entangled, and the big knife slashed horizontally and vertically to kill these henchmen, and Zu Mao was already breaking through.

Wen Ping was annoyed, and bent his bow and arrow: "Medium!" ”

Only heard a whoosh sound, Zu Mao's right shoulder was suddenly hit by an arrow but did not fall off the horse, and disappeared from Wen Ping's field of vision in an instant.

"Poor Kou Mo Chase! Don't forget that the three generals are already waiting for him over there. General Wen, now is the right way to exterminate these rebels. Kuai Yue drank to stop Wen Ping, who was about to chase after Zu Mao, and Wen Ping returned to the battlefield unwillingly: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

The scene gradually came under control, and Wen Ping signaled his henchmen to gather these defeated soldiers, and asked: "The eldest prince is in danger alone, the military advisor, and the last general asks for orders to lead the army to support the eldest prince." ”

Kuai Yue looked at Wen Ping, and sighed in his heart: Brother, what you said is right, I underestimated this strategizing eldest son. Wen Ping asked again, Kuai Yue sighed and said: "The eldest prince has his own arrangements, and General Wen listens to orders!" ”

"The last general!"

"The eldest prince has an order, and he ordered General Wenpin to lead 3,000 troops to Dongting Lake immediately, and be sure to take back our army's water village!"

"This..."Wen Ping hesitated for a while, hesitating whether this was the order of the eldest prince, Kuai Yue took out a piece of paper, and Wen Ping took it before he said: "The last general will take the order!" ”

……

In the valley, the sky is getting dark.

As soon as Liu Qi rode hundreds of horses into this valley, he disappeared without a trace, and Sun Jian was so angry that he shouted to the sky: "Let him escape again!" ”

In the blink of an eye, there were only more than a thousand horsemen and nephew Xu Kun left beside him, but Zu Mao was nowhere to be found: "Where is General Zu?!" ”

"I guess it's still behind!"

Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go back and pursue the rout!" Spare Liu Qi's life first......"

"Be careful!" Xu Kun suddenly threw Sun Jian from the horse to the ground, only to hear the sound of rustling, followed by the neighing of the war horse.

Sun Jian was furious and said loudly: "Liu Qi'er, if you have the ability, you will come out to fight, what kind of husband is it to release cold arrows." ”

Liu Qi, who was hidden in the mountain, did not directly answer his words: "Sun thief, don't think about reinforcements!" You Zumao have abandoned your weapons and surrendered! ”

As soon as Liu Qi's words fell, Sun Jian was suddenly shocked and said, "It's not good, it's a trick!" Just as he was about to loudly remind his entourage, suddenly bursts of war drums came from the mountain, and the sound was like a bell.

Liu Qi smiled coldly and said, "Old thief Sun, it's too late for you to know!" Put! ”

Suddenly the earth seemed to shake, and boundless rolling wood and stones rolled down from the mountains in all directions. Xu Kun couldn't dodge, and his brain cracked on the spot, and he was a mess.

"Ahh When Sun Jian saw his nephew die tragically on the spot, he was furious and sad: "Liu Jingsheng father and son, I don't share it with you...!" ”

Before he could say the word Tianzi, the rolling stones and rolling wood instantly devoured him, and he didn't blink an eye. A generation of heroes died. More than 1,000 relatives died on the spot!

"Alas. If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, Sun Jian, you can't complain about me. Liu Qi stared at Sun Jian, who was not staring at him, on the mountain, and said: "Order someone to bury him, but he is also a generation of heroes." ”

"No!"
