Chapter 4 The defeat of the army
Sun Jian's Jiangdong army scolded and fought under Bishui Pass every day, but Hua Xiong, the main general of Xiliang Pass, was also a general who had experienced a hundred battles, and he was full of patience.
Day after day, within a few days, the Xiliang Army never came out, and the Jiangdong Army finally began to run out of food at this time.
"Damn, why is this tiger so stubborn? It can't go on like this, the grain and grass can't survive for a few days, and now the soldiers of the army don't have a meal, and they can't eat enough, how can they fight, sooner or later it will be over. ”
Xiaozheng Taisun Quan was once again a little unwilling to be driven out of the big tent by Sun Jian.
In the past two days, he repeatedly advised Sun Jian to withdraw his troops as soon as possible, but Sun Jian was a stubborn tiger, and he still pinned his hopes on Yuan Shao, the leader of the Kwantung Princes' Alliance, and felt that Yuan Shao would definitely give them grain and grass for the sake of the overall situation of the so-called Han family.
In this era at the end of the Han Dynasty, the glory of the Yuan family with the fourth world and the third prince has to be said to be a big signboard, which can make people trust unconditionally.
"Second brother, don't be depressed, my father is also good for you, you have to believe in your father, our Jiangdong Army is so strong, it will not be defeated." The brave young man Sun Ce also walked out of the big tent, looked at Sun Quan with a defeated face, and said comfortingly.
Now Sun Ce is still a teenager, and Sun Jian, who has always been brave and invincible Jiangdong Tigers, is an omnipotent god of war in his heart.
"Big brother, you said that even if the army is strong, can you still go to the battlefield if you are hungry for a few days?" Sun Quan looked at his brother, pursed his lips, and said, "We have already started to run out of food, and it is the limit to be able to survive for two or three days, I am afraid that the strength to get the weapon will be gone, and I will be a fart when the time comes." ”
"It's really so strict, Uncle Demao has always had a strategy, and this time he should be able to get the grain and grass back." Sun Ce felt that Sun Quan seemed to be a little different since he was struck by lightning, but his own brother didn't care too much.
"What if Uncle can get the grain and grass back?" After knowing the results, Sun Quan didn't bother to continue, these people all said that it was useless to say anything to a little child who was less than ten years old.
"Second son, what you want has been done." At this time, in the grass of the military camp, a big man in armor held a large wooden box, walked over, and said respectfully to Sun Quan.
"Really, got it done so quickly?"
When Sun Quan heard this, he immediately looked overjoyed and asked.
"Look!" The big man opened the wooden box, took out a pair of small and delicate bows and crossbows, and said, "Second son, this is based on the drawings you drawn, found a dozen blacksmiths nearby, and it took a day to build it. ”
"This crossbow is a little too small, isn't it?" Sun Ce looked at it and felt that there was a killing aura on this small and delicate crossbow arrow, so he asked, "However, how do I feel that this gadget seems to be very lethal." ”
"Big brother, don't underestimate it, this is my life-saving thing!"
Sun Quan smiled at Sun Ce, picked up the bow and crossbow, and kept playing with it, this is a lightweight crossbow, the kind of cross crossbow that can pull the trigger and send arrows, without too much strength, it is very suitable for Sun Quan's life-saving weapon in the shape of Xiao Zhengtai.
Soul back to ancient times, sometimes modern memory is a golden finger, before Sun Chongmao liked weapon magazines, this kind of crossbow he just has a rough memory, it is not difficult to draw, and then with his identity as the second son of Jiangdong, gather some blacksmiths, it is not difficult to build.
"Uncle Junli, how far can it shoot?"
Sun Quan asked as he skillfully loaded an arrow feather.
"Second son, I've already tried it, this bow and crossbow is made of very good materials, it can be loaded with three arrows in a row, and within a hundred steps, it will definitely hit every hundred shots." The big man's name is Zhu Zhi, the word Junli, is a hundred generals under the command of Han Dang, the general of the Jiangdong Army, after Sun Quan's pleading, Sun Jian's approval, he has become the captain of Sun Quan's guard.
Although the current Zhu Zhi is just an ordinary general of the Jiangdong Army, but this name Sun Quan has a memory, in the future in Eastern Wu he is the general of the marquis, it is definitely not simple, of course, start in advance, ask him to come, if he really fights, he can save his life.
……
Three days later, Huaxiong defended Bishui Pass, Cheng Pu did not return for a long time, the Jiangdong army was finally almost exhausted, and Sun Jian finally realized that the Jiangdong army had reached the point where it could not retreat.
In the evening, in the main tent of the Jiangdong camp, everyone's expressions were a little gloomy, Zu Mao looked at Sun Jian, who was on the main seat, with a cold face, and said: "Lord, we can't wait any longer, now that our army's food and grass have run out, the soldiers have not eaten enough for two days, and their subordinates ask to retire." ”
"I'll second the proposal, lord, retire!"
One by one, the generals bowed their hands on one knee and pleaded.
"Okay, wait until you stand up, early tomorrow morning, we will withdraw our troops!"
Sun Jian closed his eyes, his expression was a little struggling, and there was a trace of anger towards the Yuan brothers, and finally nodded helplessly and said in a low voice.
"Father, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for tomorrow morning!" At this time, Sun Quan on the side jumped out again, why do you say it again, it is because in the past few days, Xiao Sun Quan has been jumping up and down all day long, and he is very active, and all the generals basically have an impression of this second son of the Jiangdong Army, and they immediately stared at him one by one.
"Zhongmou, what do you want to say?" It turns out that Sun Quan is indeed right, so Sun Jian is now beginning to have some respect for Sun Quan's opinion.
"Father, our stoves have been reduced a lot in the past two days, and there is no cooking smoke today, do you think the Xiliang rebels in Bishui Pass don't know that our Jiangdong Army has run out of food?
If they kill an army tonight to steal the camp, do you think the Jiangdong army that we are preparing to retreat will be able to withstand the attack and killing of the Xiliang army? My Jiangdong army is hungry for two days now, can it still fight against the brave Xiliang army? In the midst of the fierce eyes of the generals, Sun Quan did not have the slightest stage fright, facing Sun Jian, and asked several questions in a row, not only Sun Jian, but also the faces of all the Jiangdong generals in the military tent suddenly changed drastically.
"Lord, what the second son said is true, there have indeed been a lot of details around the barracks where we are stationed these days!" Han Dang walked out and said that he was in charge of the scout camp of the Jiangdong Army.
"Lord, now that our Jiangdong Army is really at its lowest combat power, we must guard against it."
Zu Mao glanced at Sun Quan meaningfully, and also walked out and said softly.
"What Zhongmou said is reasonable, but it is already night, if the Jiangdong Army withdraws now, it will be inconvenient and difficult to walk at night, so it is better to withdraw the troops early tomorrow morning, but tonight you are cautious, set up a defensive line in the camp, and do not leave your armor and weapons when you sleep."
Sun Jian is also an outstanding general, leading the troops to fight for a long time, experienced, after getting Sun Quan's reminder, he also knew that if the Xiliang Army learned that the Jiangdong Army was out of food, there was a great chance of coming to steal the camp, so he immediately arranged it.
"No!"
The generals looked serious and nodded in response.
……
At the fourth watch, the Jiangdong camp was quiet, Sun Quan couldn't sleep in the camp of the Chinese army, Sun Jian and they just thought that the Xiliang army might come to steal the camp, but he knew very well that it was not possible, but it would definitely come.
Click......
At this moment, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves shook the ground, and they rushed towards them, getting closer and closer.
"Xiliang's son, kill all these Kanto thieves, kill, kill, kill!" A big man from Xiliang with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, led tens of thousands of troops straight out of Bishui Pass, like a surging tide.
"Sure enough, the Xiliang Army stole the camp, the Xiliang Army stole the camp, and the sons of Jiangdong gathered immediately!"
As soon as the Xiliang Army appeared, Huang Gai, Zu Mao, and Han Dang appeared in the army, and soon organized Jiangdong's troops and stood firm.
In the darkness, the Xiliang army rushed into the camp of the Jiangdong Army like a torrent, and for a time there were flames everywhere, shouting and killing, screaming, endlessly, the Jiangdong Army and the Xiliang Army intersected together, fighting everywhere.
In a hasty engagement, the Jiangdong Army still showed defeat even if it had little preparation before.
"Da Rong, Gong Fu, Yi Gong, Ce'er, you immediately reorganize your troops and horses, and we will retreat."
Sun Jian rode out on horseback, an ancient ingot long knife, everywhere he went, people and horses were torn, but after all, the Jiangdong army was hungry for two days, and its combat strength was greatly damaged, although it was not attacked by the Xiliang army, but in the face of 50,000 Xiliang troops, it was still unbearable, so that the Xiliang army was forcibly dispersed.
"No!"
Zu Mao and several people immediately surrounded him, began to collect the scattered soldiers and horses, and retreated while fighting against the official road behind.
"A certain Huaxiong is here, where is Sun Jian!"
Hua Xiongming knew that the Jiangdong Army had run out of food, so he took advantage of the darkest night to take the 50,000 tiger and wolf Xiliang army to the Jiangdong camp, but he did not get the due effect of stealing the camp, but instead glued together with the Jiangdong army, a little unwilling, and let out a loud roar.
"Huaxiong, Sun Jian is here, dare to fight with me!"
Sun Jian saw that the defeat of the Jiangdong army was decided, and there were all the corpses of Jiangdong Erlang all around, and suddenly the tiger's eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth, and immediately stepped forward, pointed at the ancient ingot long knife in his hand, and shouted loudly.
