Chapter 198: Counting the Chain

Seeing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but chuckle, knowing in his heart that although the reinforcements of Cao Ren and Cao Hong's troops had gone straight to Weicheng at the moment, they were all foot soldiers, and if Sun Cejun wanted to retreat, he couldn't stop him if he wanted to, so he could only let Sun Cejun leave.

After all, war horses are scarce, Sun Cejun only has more than 100 light cavalry, and the same is true of Cao Jun, some young generals still have no horses, except for the escort of cronies, Cao Jun has no cavalry troops.

Without cavalry, it was naturally impossible to pursue Sun Cejun, which was also the reason why Guo Jiawei led the army to pursue.

After Sun Cejun left, Guo Jia couldn't help but start counting the casualties, and there were 4,000 soldiers killed under his command, and the elite troops under Sun Ce's command only lost 100 people!

Guo Jia was angry but helpless in his heart, the combat strength of the soldiers under his command was really low, and he was killed by Sun Ce's soldiers who had less than 1,000 people.

Although there were also Cao soldiers who were besieged and killed by Yuan Shujun from both wings, the casualties of Cao Jun also made Guo Jia unacceptable for a while.

"Sir, the forward siege force also lost 2,000 soldiers......" Xiahoudun saw Guo Jia's face angry, hesitated for a moment, and still bowed his hand.

After all, the number of casualties among the soldiers under his command is a major matter, so naturally he can't not report it because Guo Jia is in a bad mood, after all, this will affect the future battle situation and the way of using troops.

"Alas...... The siege also cost 2,000 soldiers. Guo Jia sighed helplessly, suddenly startled, suddenly realized, and couldn't help exclaiming: "It's a plan!" ”

"Where is Cao Ren and Cao Hongbu? How is Xiahou Yuanbu at the moment? Guo Jia couldn't help but ask two sentences in a row, he knew in his heart that he had fallen for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's plan.

Sun Cejun did not retreat, but surrounded the point to send reinforcements, lured other soldiers and horses of Cao's army to come to help, and then ambushed them on the road they had to pass, and they would definitely be broken.

Xiahou was taken aback, hearing Guo Jia's question, he suddenly figured out Sun Cejun's trick in his heart, and his demeanor couldn't help but become nervous, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "Cao Ren Cao Hong's troops and horses have not arrived, Miaocai, Miaocai should be the ...... to defend Ancheng."

"Cao Ren, Cao Hong." Guo Jia whispered softly, and immediately vetoed the possibility of Cao Ren and Cao Hong being ambushed in his heart, thinking of this moment, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh: "Miao Cai will be ambushed!" ”

Guo Jia knows that Xiahou Yuan is guarding Ancheng at the moment, although this is the case, but the communication is not smooth, after all, it takes time to go back and forth to explore the horse, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will have tricked to lure Xiahou Yuan to send troops, and at that time, Xiahou Yuan will be defeated!

"Sir...... You mean Genius? Xiahoudun was immediately shocked, whether it was the loss of Cao's soldiers or the life of his own brother, he was worried about it, and his voice couldn't help but become a little trembling.

"Immediately gather the troops and horses, and hurry to the direction of Anseong!" Guo Jia made a decision immediately, and there was no time to hesitate at this moment, so he immediately led all the soldiers around him to go down to the city quickly, gathered the soldiers and horses, and immediately went out of the city and went to Ancheng.

As for whether Sun Cejun still has tricks, Guo Jia is naturally worried, but he can only think deeply on the road, after all, at this moment, Xiahou Yuan's troops are in danger, and Sun Cejun's combat power is coupled with Yuan Shujun's help, not to mention an ambush, Xiahou Yuan's troops are small, and it is extremely dangerous.

Guo Jiali and his horse followed the army closely, and they couldn't help but think about it carefully.

In front of the city just now, Guo Jia had already underestimated the enemy's plan to help Sun Ce's arrogance, but he never thought that because of his contempt, he would fall for Sun Ce's plan.

That Sun Ce's arrogant behavior in the world was deliberately disguised to show himself, Guo Jia figured out this, how could he not be afraid?

Imagine how high-spirited a seventeen-year-old boy led more than 1,000 soldiers to defeat the army of more than 10,000 led by Guo Jia, who has long been famous all over the world and known as the world's first strategist?

How scheming is it that a young man can get carried away, not be proud of his achievements, and even guess his own thoughts, and his arrogant behavior is deliberate, and he has confused himself?

Guo Jia couldn't help laughing at himself, and couldn't help but remember that when he was seventeen years old, he really thought that Lao Tzu was the first in the world, and if he was Sun Ce, the pride at this moment can be imagined.

"I was teased and applauded by these two teenagers...... Guo Jia laughed at himself, and couldn't help but feel that he was really underestimating the enemy, seeing that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were young, but he had been smooth sailing in recent years, and he made such a low-end mistake, and even when he was against Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, he didn't think hard to cause such a big defeat.

"Sun Ce is like this, and the pride that Zhou Yu showed must be deliberately disguised." Guo Jia couldn't help but smile bitterly, he can be said to have been an eagle for a lifetime, and he actually let the two young eagles peck.

……

……

At the same time, Sun Yuan's coalition army had already withdrawn from Weicheng and went straight to Ancheng.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other and smiled, and Sun Ce immediately ordered: "The soldiers of the three armies have forcibly marched towards Ancheng!" ”

As Guo Jia expected, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's move was to encircle the point to send reinforcements, and the two had absolute confidence to contain the rest of the Cao army, and they had absolute confidence to defeat Guo Jia's army head-on.

At the same time, it was calculated that Guo Jia would definitely not fight to the death with Sun Cejun, but lead the army back, if so, it was Zhou Yu's plan, and that battle was just the first step of Zhou Yu's serial plan.

Even if Guo Jia suddenly realized at this moment, he was not in a hurry, Zhou Yu had already ordered the soldiers of Yuan Shu's army to feign defeat before, and deliberately fled from the vicinity of Ancheng to make Xiahou Yuan discover the battle situation on the front line and lure Xiahou Yuan to send troops to support.

Meanwhile, Anseong.

Xiahou Yuan stood on top of the city, and suddenly received a report from Tanma: "Dozens of Yuan Shujun deserters have been caught, and they have been escorted to the city." ”

Xiahou Yuan immediately summoned the remnants of Yuan Shu's army to his side, and when he asked, he learned that Guo Jia led the army to fight with Sun Ce's army, and the outcome was not yet known at this moment, and the rest of Yuan Shu's army deserters fled in the direction of Ancheng.

After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan knew that he had to take his 5,000 soldiers out of the camp to meet the battle, whether it was to support Guo Jia's army or to intercept and kill the remnants of Yuan Shu's army, he should send troops.

The opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, Xiahou Yuan is not an indecisive person, he made a decision immediately, and immediately left two thousand soldiers to guard Ancheng, after all, the two thousand Cao troops from Cai County are still eyeing in the distance, and they have to be guarded, Xiahou Yuan personally led three thousand soldiers out of the camp to meet the battle, and went straight to the direction of Weicheng.

Although Xiahou Yuan's abacus played well, he didn't know that he had already fallen into Zhou Yu's plan, and at this moment, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had already led the elite and Yuan Shujun soldiers to set up an ambush, waiting for the bait in front to lure Xiahou Yuan into the encirclement and annihilate him.

"Three miles ahead, there are hundreds of remnants of Yuan Shu's army!" Cao Jun probed the horse and galloped over, rushed to Xiahou Yuan's body and immediately said.

After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan immediately ordered to lead the three thousand Cao troops under his command to decisively attack and kill.

Before he reached Yuan Shujun's body, he was discovered by the remnants of Yuan Shujun's army, Xiahou Yuan looked around, only to see that the group of remnants lost their armor and abandoned their armor, and they were all covered in blood, and there were some wounded soldiers, and some of the enemy's soldiers did not even have blades in their hands, which showed their defeat miserably.
