The two of them claimed that they were more than 3,000 elites who had been rectified and defeated at the moment, and under the full auspices of Tai Shici, they mobilized the wounded soldiers and the people in the city to bluff at the head of the city, and 2,000 men and horses left the city overnight and rushed in the direction of Huai'an.

In the camp of the Yuan army, although Sun Ce was out of the limelight, due to the lack of individual combat ability, the 50,000 Yuan army also suffered heavy losses, excluding the number of casualties, the remaining combatable soldiers were less than 30,000. And because the main general Yuan Tan was wounded by an arrow, all the military power fell into the hands of Sun Ce.

That night, Sun Ce convened the generals to discuss matters in the camp, and said with a high-spirited face: "Liu Miao is newly defeated, most of the soldiers are scattered, and his own surname is difficult to protect, and Jiangdu City can be broken with a snap of his fingers!" The general wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and sent troops to attack Jiangdu City at midnight at the third watch, what do you think? ”

All the generals nodded in agreement, but Zhou Yu was noncommittal, shook his head and said: "As I expected, Jiangdu at this moment is just an empty city!" It's easy to take, and it's really unwise for the general to delay a fighter plane for an empty city! ”

Sun Ce frowned and said, "What does Gong Jin mean by this?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Jiangdu is a lonely city, and it is impossible for Liu Miao to defend a helpless city to fight against us. Today, Liu Xuan's army almost poured out, I thought about it left and right, and felt that there was a lot of strangeness in it, so I immediately sent scouts to investigate everywhere. According to the report of the scouts who have just returned, at noon today, there is a large group of people and horses pressing a large number of baggage towards the direction of Huai'an, as I expected, it must be Liu Xuan's plan to secretly cross Chen Cang on the plank road, Mingli and us are fighting, but secretly the family and baggage in the Jiangdu City are transferred to Huai'an! ”

Sun Ce was shocked when he heard this: "There is such a thing! In this way, could it be that Liu Xuan's old thief wants to escape into Xuzhou to join Ma Chao?"

Zhou Yu nodded and said: "That's right, as long as he rushes to Xiapi through Huai'an, he can join forces with Xu Huang's army, and our army can no longer help him before defeating Ma Chao!" ”

Sun Ce was furious when he heard this, and got up and scolded: "What a thief, so cunning!" After that, he paced back and forth a few steps and shouted: "Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Cen Bi listen to the order!" ”

"Mo will be!"

"The three of them immediately reorganized their troops and horses, and each led 3,000 elite soldiers to pursue Liu Xuan's baggage troops overnight with the general! Demand immediate action! ”

"No!" The three of them also knew that the matter was urgent, and immediately went out of the account to count the military horses after receiving the order.

Sun Ce thought for a while and said, "The eldest prince is seriously injured, and all the affairs in the camp will be handed over to Gong Jin for the time being!" ”

Zhou Yu nodded in response, and then said: "Liu Xuan's heavy troops are marching slowly, and they are taking a detour, if the general pursues overnight, he will be able to make a contribution!" However, you need to be careful of ambushes on the road! ”

"What Gong Jin said is very true!" Although Sun Ce responded, he didn't think so.

When Han Dang, Cheng Pu and others ordered the soldiers and horses, it was already the third watch after the full meal. After the 9,000 army was on the road, Sun Ce was anxious to hand over the large army to Cheng Pu and Cen Bi to lead the commanders, and he cooperated with Han Dang to lead the only 1,000 light horsemen to gallop along the road.

However, it was said that Tai Shi Ci led 3,000 elite soldiers to Huai'an along this road, but he was ahead of Sun Ce. Almost all of the 3,000 elite soldiers were infantry troops, and they had chased out more than 50 miles from midnight to 4 o'clock in a hurry, and they only needed to walk another 20 miles, and they could rush to Linxian before dawn to merge with Zhen.

The sergeants on both sides fought for most of the day, and they marched all night, and they were all tired, and the pace of the march gradually slowed down. Tai Shici's army was on the way, when he suddenly faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the rear. Frightened, he immediately turned over and dismounted and knelt down to listen to the ground. After a while, he got up and frowned: "There is a group of cavalry chasing after about ten miles behind, and it seems that there are no less than a thousand people listening to the sound of horses' hooves!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and now the corporates were tired, and it was almost impossible to hold back a thousand cavalry with 3,000 infantry. Liu Yu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Uncle died tragically at the hands of Yuan Jun, and now that the bones are not cold, Sun Ce must not be allowed to rob his uncle's family again!" Besides, the baggage in the hands of Zhenrong is the foundation of our life, if we lose these materials, the army will have to be disbanded! Therefore, even if you fight to the death, you must block Sun Ce's pursuers! ”

Zhang Ying also said: "That's right, Sun Ce's soldiers also pursued overnight, as long as we arrange in advance, we may not have the opportunity to destroy the enemy!" We are willing to obey the command and dispatch of General Taishi! ”

"I'm willing to follow General Taishi!"

"Please, the general, give orders! Swear to fight to the death with Yuan Jun! ”

The rest of the generals, big and small, echoed one after another. Tai Shi Ci was moved, knowing that these people were the most loyal soldiers under Liu Xian's command at the moment, and he pondered for a while and said: "In this case, this general will trespass!" Without further ado, we'll set up a stumbling block in the road and let the archers lie in ambush on either side! The Yuan army rushed at night, and it was sure that it would be a plan, just to curb the charging momentum of the Yuan army's cavalry, and then surprise the generals, and break the Yuan army's cavalry as easily! ”

The generals hurriedly led the soldiers to follow the plan, but fortunately, it was not difficult to carry out this matter, and it was only necessary to pull a few ropes on both sides of the road. There were more than 500 archers in the army, ready to stop and lay in ambush on both sides.

After about a while, a pair of horsemen galloped in. The fourth watch was dark before dawn, and although Sun Ce's cavalry had torches, it was difficult to see the ropes sticking to the ground. Rushing to the front, Sun Ce and Han Dang bore the brunt of the attack, and immediately the horse stumbled, turned over and fell off the horse. The cavalry behind could not regain momentum, and either collided with the war horse in front of them, or they were hit by a tripping horse, and they were completely in a mess, and the screams were endless.

At this moment, the archers who had been in ambush on both sides immediately attacked, and although there were not many arrows, they were extremely powerful at close range, and those who were killed or wounded were either killed. After a few rounds of feather arrows, Sun Ce's cavalry was completely confused. Tai Shici and Liu Yu led two thousand Pu sword soldiers to kill the generals from both sides and beheaded countless people.

Sun Ce fell from the galloping war horse and was not injured, but the ensuing feather arrow caused him a lot of trouble, and he was immediately hit by an arrow in the shoulder and **, and the injury was really not light.

In the midst of the chaos, Tai Shici and Liu Yu went straight to Sun Ce and Han Dang to kill, and no one was the enemy of the same group along the way. Fortunately, these cavalry are Sun Ce's henchmen, and the loyal protection of the lord also bought the two of them time to get on the horse again.

In the middle of the night, Sun Ce was also extremely annoyed, and was about to be angry with Tai Shici, while Han Dang greeted Liu Yu, and the four fierce generals fought against each other. Zhang Ying commanded 3,000 Pu sword soldiers under his command to encircle and suppress the chaotic cavalry, both sides were tired divisions, and the battle was in one place at the moment, and the killing was extremely tragic.

And this time the situation is just the opposite, Tai Shici's troops are united, quite a broken boat, and Sun Ce's cavalry pursued overnight, and the number of ambushes suddenly decreased sharply, how can there be a fighting heart in a panic? The losses were enormous.

But it was said that Tai Shici also made an iron spear, and there was a pair of iron halberds on his back, a bow and arrows with him, and a sword in his crotch, which was inseparable from Sun Ce's inextricable fight. Liu Yu is an opponent who is an experienced veteran like Han Dang, but he is brave and difficult to do, and he has the upper hand in less than twenty times, but it is by no means possible to kill Han Dang in a short time.
