17.Chapter 17
Sun Jian returned to the camp and counted the number of people, and the 10,000 Jiangdong troops who went out with him lost as much as 3,000. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this is still because Cao Cao broke off for him.
In the big camp here, if it weren't for Cao Cao sending people to remind him and harass Huaxiong in the Tiger Prison every night, Huaxiong would definitely have sent more than five hundred ambush soldiers. If so, then Sun Jian is in danger.
"The grain and grass in hand actually flew!" Zu Mao said, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"I didn't expect Kyoto to send reinforcements, it seems that Dong Zhuo's old thief attaches great importance to us!" Sun Jian's eyes were about to erupt with fire, but when he said it, he was calm, and his efforts to nourish his qi were very well done.
Huang Gai, Zu Mao and other generals looked at each other, not knowing what Sun Jian meant by this.
The Jiangdong Army was short of food, and it was really frustrating to rob grain and fail to rob it.
If the soldiers knew that even if the Jiangdong soldiers could fight well and not have enough to eat, they would not be able to stop the enemy's attack.
"Father, our Jiangdong Army has always been grateful for gratitude. Cao Cao has merit in saving us, and we have to repay it well. Seeing that no one spoke, Sun Ce said what he thought in his heart.
"You can rest assured! My grandson has a kindness to repay the kindness, and there is revenge to take revenge! Sun Jian said awe-inspiringly: "By the way, it is rumored that Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang has come to our camp today, what is going on?" Did you promise him anything? ”
"I didn't know this person before, but this person seemed to really know us, and I felt like I knew each other at first sight." Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan and said, "Zhongmou, did you say?" ”
"Yes, it feels like he's familiar with both of us brothers." Sun Quan nodded, and there was an incredible feeling in his eyes: "By the way, father, that person also fought with his brother." ”
"The result?" Sun Jian asked casually, he was still quite confident in his son who had been trained by himself.
"I lost!" Sun Ce said with some reluctance: "Cao Ang said that he is not good at horse warfare and weapons, and only fights with me empty-handed, and he punches him, and his strength seems to be on par with mine." But I lost at his hands and only used two moves. ”
"Oh, I didn't expect my family Ce'er to meet an opponent. That's a good thing! Sun Jian didn't care, and said earnestly: "There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, so we should not be blindly proud, nor should we be arrogant." ”
"Yes!" Sun Ce nodded thoughtfully.
Cao Jun camp.
Cao Cao summoned Cheng Yu, Cao Hong, Xiahoudun, Cao Ang, and Cao Anmin to discuss major matters in the army.
"After Hua Xiong died the deputy general, he couldn't hold out, and Lu Bu didn't take a few days to arrive at the tiger prison. When the time comes, our army will not have any advantage in strength, so what will we do next? Cao Cao said with some worry, I can't say why recently, I always feel a little uneasy.
"Eldest prince, what do you say our army should do?" Cheng Yu smiled and wanted to test Cao Ang.
Seeing this, Cao Ang said in a loud voice: "Now the tiger prison, the food is tasteless, and the unwillingness to abandon it is for the sake of chicken ribs!" Our army is now in a dilemma, and it is impossible to take the tiger prison in the next few days. There is only one way to do this! ”
"Which is possible?" Cao Hong and Xiahoudun couldn't help but ask.
"Go back and move the rescuers!" Cao Ang knew that Cao Cao easily disliked the withdrawal of troops, and knew to change the word instead.
"Go back and move the rescuers!" Cao Cao's eyes lit up, he originally meant to withdraw the troops, but as the commander-in-chief, it was difficult to say it, but he didn't expect Cao Ang to say this so well, that people couldn't grasp the handle at all.
"If our army leaves, then the Jiangdong army is like missing the left arm and right arm, what should we do?" Cheng Yu asked Cao Ang again.
"It's very simple, let him lose a game, and he will naturally go back." Cao Ang smiled: "Sun Jian is known as the Tiger General, and his temper is extremely stubborn. On this expedition, he will not retreat easily, but he will not attack the city easily. ”
"And where did his defeat come from?" Cheng Yu asked sharply.
"Our army went back to move the rescuers, and Lu Bu's rescuers were already on the way. Hua Xiong saw that Sun Jian's strength was weak, and he would definitely attack the camp, and when Sun Jian lacked soldiers and food, he would definitely be defeated by Hua Xiong. Cao Ang said everything in his heart.
"The eldest prince is really young and promising!" Cheng Yu looked at Cao Ang with satisfaction and felt that the child was teachable.
"Pass my order: the whole army withdraws, uh, no, go back and move the rescuers." When Cao Cao saw Cao Ang's appearance, he was also full of joy, there were successors, and anyone who became a parent would be happy.
Cao Jun retreated, returned to the sour dates, and called it a rescue soldier.
"Humph! Well walked! Sun Jian snorted coldly, and looked down on Cao Cao, who was about to escape.
"Hua Xiong, the turtle son, is like a turtle every day, which makes people unable to do it." Huang Gai scolded angrily, and it was difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
"My lord, the food we distribute to the soldiers every day has been halved, but it can only last for three days." Zu Mao also said with some concern: "The soldiers can't eat enough, and they can't fight at all!" ”
"I have already sent someone to urge Yuan Shao, and the grain is estimated to be on the way." Sun Jian straightened the red turban on his head, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "As a courtier of the Han Dynasty, if they are all selfish, the Han family is in danger. I thought that I would serve the country at the beginning, but I ended up in such a mess. Wait another day, if Yuan Shao doesn't send food again, we will retreat. Tonight, the whole army will not untie their clothes, and they will not be able to take off their armor when they sleep! ”
Faced with such a chaotic situation, Sun Jian also had to give an order.
The generals received the order and went back to arrange the retreat.
At midnight.
Silence everywhere.
An army of 40,000 men came out of the tiger prison, led by the defender Hua Xiong. Originally, there was a deputy general Hu Zhen to remind him, but Hu Zhen had already returned to the west. Hua Xiong didn't want to see Lu Bu's face of ignoring him, so he decided to take advantage of the Jiangdong Army's shortage of food to sneak attack and strive for meritorious service.
The guards of the Jiangdong Army patrolled for a week and found nothing, they rubbed their hands, and some of them were sleepy.
The campfire lit up and lit up the entire camp.
"Poof!"
A sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the three guards fell in response, without even screaming.
"Enemy attack!" A soldier who got up in the middle of the night to relieve himself suddenly noticed something unusual, and there were many unfamiliar faces on the edge of the camp.
This sound was very harsh in the silent night sky, but it woke up the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army.
Fortunately, Sun Jian's order was not to untie his clothes and not to take off his armor when he slept. They took out their weapons and went into battle.
"Die!" Hua Xiong took the lead, directly cut the soldier in half, and shouted: "Sons, the whole army will attack with me!" No mercy! ”
"Kill!"
40,000 troops launched a charge against the Jiangdong Army together, and the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps suddenly resounded throughout the land, shaking the entire night sky.
"Don't panic, sons, follow me to meet the enemy!" Sun Jian let out a loud shout, the ancient ingot knife in his hand was already in his hand, and a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes.
Sun Jian's voice was like a bright light in the night sky, which made the originally panicked Jiangdong Army calm down instantly.
Huang Gai, Zu Mao and others are also worthy of being fierce generals in the army, preventing the Jiangdong Army from counterattacking, and forcibly killing a bloody way to drive the Xiliang army out of the rejection of horses.
Sun Ce was also brave and good at fighting, riding on a galloping war horse, a set of overlord nine styles made him superb, and strangled all the Xiliang troops who were close to him.
The whole battle scene was very chaotic.
The Xiliang Army was like a rushing river, constantly impacting the Jiangdong Army like a dangerous stone, but the Jiangdong Army had a sharp decline in combat effectiveness due to the lack of food, and it seemed to be showing a tired situation.
"Put rockets on me!" Hua Xiong shouted, casually cut a Jiangdong Army soldier, and immediately commanded.
"Put!"
When the archers came, they fired rockets at the Jiangdong camp.
The rocket quickly burned when it encountered flammable materials, and for a while, flames appeared everywhere in the Jiangdong camp. From afar, it looks like hell on earth.
Seeing this, Sun Jian hurriedly issued an order: "The whole army retreats quickly!" Let's go back to sour dates! ”
After hearing this, the entire Jiangdong Army hurriedly broke through everywhere as if it had been amnestied.
Fortunately, the defense of the Xiliang Army was not tight enough, revealing many weak points.
Sun Jian led the army to find and kill the past, and roared angrily: "Huaxiong, today's humiliation, Sun should be returned tenfold." ”
"Give back your sister! Lao Tzu wants your life today! Hua Xiong was so upset that he shouted: "Pass my order, the person with the red turban is Sun Jian, and the person who kills him will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold, and the official will be promoted to three levels!" ”
"Kill Sun Jian!"
"Kill Sun Jian!"
"The one who wears the red turban is Sun Jian!"
After hearing this, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army all became like howling wolves, and rushed straight to the defeated army where Sun Jian was.
Sun Jian looked at the fewer and fewer people behind him, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Lord, you take the path, I'll cover you!" Taking advantage of the darkness of the night when no one saw it, Zu Mao let out a low shout, snatched Sun Jian's red turban, put it on his head, and rode in front.
With tears in his eyes, Sun Jianhu turned the horse's head and changed the direction.
What is Brother?
That's it!
Needless to say, keep it all in mind!
Sun Jian's heart was full of remorse, it was better to retire early like Cao Cao, and he would not end up like this.
Hua Xiong had already led the army to chase after the man with the red turban, riding his horse in pursuit. This battle has achieved the expected effect, defeating the invincible Jiangdong Army, it is estimated that Dong Zhuo will praise him a few more times when he hears about this military situation.
Thinking about it, thinking about it, he found that Sun Jian, who was wearing a red turban, ran out of the camp like a loach, ran out of the official road, and ran to a farmhouse.
"There it is!"
"Where did Sun Jian's dog thief escape!"
"Give me chase!"
Many soldiers of the Xiliang Army tightly surrounded the farmhouse, for fear that the fat in their hands would run away. This gave the rest of the Jiangdong Army a chance to flee for their lives, allowing them to completely get rid of the pursuit of the Xiliang Army.
With the dim torches, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army found that the red turban was actually placed on a stone pillar that had been burned by fire, and it was not Sun Jian at all, so they had to leave in a huff.
When they all evacuated, a sturdy man came out of the grass next to him, and it was Zu Mao, who led the pursuers for Sun Jian.
In this battle, the Jiangdong Army suffered heavy losses!
