Cui Qian was unhurried, leading the people to flee in front, turning around from time to time to shoot a few arrows, both elephants were hit by a few arrows, but their skin was thick and thick, these arrows could not hurt them at all, but inspired their wild surnames, and they chased more and more urgently. Ou Chu was killed by Cui Qian one after another, and he was even more angry, and ordered to chase after him to death, not to catch up with Cui Qian, and to trample him into meat and never stop.

Cui Qian led the pirates to run in front, Ou Chu with two elephants chasing behind, hundreds of Linyi barbarians followed behind, this battle showed a one-sided situation from the beginning, Ou Chu had the upper hand, but what made him depressed was that Cui Qian was as slippery as oil, although he had the upper hand, but the results were very limited, and he chased out for five miles, Cui Qian's casualties were only more than thirty, and his casualties increased to nearly one hundred.

This made Ou Chu more and more irritable, nearly a hundred casualties, in Lin Yiguo, where the total strength was only about two thousand, it was by no means a negligible number, and he had to pay the price for Cui Qian. If Cui Qian can be caught, whether he is alive or dead, then it will be worth killing another hundred or two hundred people.

Ou Liang led his men to chase after him on foot, he was relatively weak and couldn't keep up with the pace, and finally could only be carried by two guards. Although Cui Qian has been on the run, he has been acting too calmly, fighting and walking, which is not like running away, but more like luring the enemy. He suddenly remembered the hundreds of people who had fled at the beginning, and his heart was suddenly shocked, could it be that they didn't run away, but went to ambush? He lifted up and looked into the distance, and there was a low hillside not far away, although it was not large, but it was not a problem to ambush a hundred and ten people.

"It's not good, go and stop the prince, the enemy has an ambush." Ou Liang said to the guards in a hurry.

The guards galloped away. But Ou Liang didn't let go, because although the guards ran fast, he was not much faster than the rushing elephant, and Ou Chu, who rushed to the front, was not far from the hillside.

The son of a daughter can't sit down. Ou Liang suddenly understood what he had heard said.

Cui Wu crouched behind a stone, his voice trembled a little with excitement, this time he caught a big fish, not only can he catch a big man in Lin Yi Country, but also two elephants, this credit is not ordinarily strong. He glared at the soldier beside him viciously and said, "You fucking keep your eyes wide open and shoot at the people on the back of the elephant, but don't shoot the two elephants with your eyes closed." Although the animal has coarse skin and rough meat, it is finished with more arrows, this thing is a rare thing, Lao Tzu can point to it to shame Chen Hai's shaft. ”

The soldiers all laughed, and no one said a word. Cui Wu and Cui Qian, one of them consumed with Chen Hai, and the other with Su Thick Legs, these are not secrets, but for these soldiers who were originally pirates and are now Jiaozhou sailors, these don't matter. They only know that they are living better now than before, although they can't go to rob and kill at will, but under General Fubo's men, they eat well, their salaries are paid in time, they live peacefully, and their brothers who died in battle can also get rich pensions, which is better for them than anything else. As for the grievances of the Cui family, they have nothing to do with them.

"Master Wu, don't worry, you won't shoot those elephants." The guards comforted Hua Ying.

"Hey, that's fine." Cui Wu touched the short beard like a steel needle under his chin, thinking about Chen Hai's possible expression, and smiled proudly. He has always been obsessed with being captured alive by Chen Hai, Chen Hai was demoted because he escaped, and he also has a big opinion of him, the two have fought in private, Cui Wu is not Chen Hai's opponent, he was beaten by Chen Hai with a blue nose and swollen eyes, he doesn't expect to win Chen Hai in fists and feet, after all, he is more than 20 years older than Chen Hai, in terms of physical strength, he can't be Chen Hai's opponent. But if you want to get this face back, you can't find it in physical strength, so you can find it in the credit, and when the master is promoted, see how you make a face with Lao Tzu.

As he spoke, Cui Qian had already escaped from the dirt slope with his people, and Ou Chu drove two elephants to rumble towards like two heavy chariots.

Two hundred steps! One hundred and fifty steps! One hundred steps! Eighty steps!

Cui Wu, who had already been unable to hold back, shouted: "Shoot!" "Be the first to shoot an arrow.

With the sharp whistling sound of long arrows, almost more than a hundred arrows shot towards Ou Chu and the others on the elephant's back at the same time. Seeing that he could catch up with Cui Qian, Ou Chu didn't expect someone to ambush him at all, so he was caught off guard, and he was shot into a porcupine before he even had time to raise his shield. The situation of those archers and spearmen was similar, there was no time to react, and they were taken away by this burst of shots, and the three arrows in the body of the royal hand who sat in the front made him tremble, and he turned over and fell off the railing, and the belt in his hand pulled the running elephant to raise his head, and ran a few steps sideways, "boom" with a loud noise, and fell to the ground, crushing the dead Ou Chu under him, blood spurted out from Ou Chu's seven orifices, and the heavy pressure crushed all his muscles and bones, and the whole person was flattened, The entrails were squeezed out and drained all over the floor.

Seeing this, the royal hand behind hurriedly restrained the elephant, and the elephant raised his head and howled, and rushed out more than a dozen steps before he barely retracted his feet and played in a circle in place. At this turn, the warriors above suddenly fainted, they clung to the railing tightly so as not to be thrown out, if they were thrown down at this time, who knows if they would be trampled by elephants? As for attack or protection, I can't care about it for a while.

This gave Cui Wu the best chance for them, and the long arrows roared in, slaughtering the soldiers on the elephant's back in the blink of an eye.

After solving the two elephants, Cui Qian led people to launch a counter-charge, and two thousand people swarmed up, sweeping away the more than 400 barbarians behind like a frenzy. Two hours later, all the battles were over, Cui Qian captured two elephants, more than 200 prisoners, killed more than 200 people on the spot, and only about a dozen of the more than 500 barbarians of Linyi Kingdom ran away.

What made Cui Qian happiest was that he not only got two elephants, but also cut off the head of the prince of Linyi.

Sun Shao received a reward, regardless of which onion the prince of Linyi was counted, he immediately ordered to take over the camp of Qu Chu, capture the few remaining barbarians, and then ordered the whole army to take a boat to the west of Yuenan County. After a day and a night of sailing, he appeared on the seashore twenty miles outside Xijuan City, and then left Yu Flip to guard the battlefield, and he led people straight to Xijuan City.

It was said that Li Jing, the Southern Taishou, had just received a message from the Jiuzhen Taishou a few days ago. Shi You said that Sun Shao defeated Cui Qian near Hepu, and now he has controlled the entire South China Sea, Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Buqi rushed to Jiaolu, Shi Xie has already bowed down, they no longer have the strength to confront Buqi and Sun Shao, and decided to hand over Jiaozhou and accept Buqi's management, hoping that Li Jinghao will do it himself. When Li Jing was wondering whether to surrender or not, and how to explain the affairs of Lin Yi Kingdom, the massacre of the people in the Prince District of Lin Yi State occurred, Li Jing regretted it very much, for the confrontation between the Shi family and Bu Qi, implicated innocent people, which was inconsistent with his original intention. He sent an envoy to question Qu Chu, but he was killed by Ou Chu, and just as he decided to raise troops to drive Qu Chu out, Sun Shao led people to surround Xijuan (near present-day Quang Tri, Vietnam).

Although Li Jing was very surprised, he had prepared to defend the city a few months ago, so although Sun Shao came very suddenly, he still ordered the city gate to be closed in time, preparing to fight Sun Shao to the end.

On the one hand, Sun Shao sent people to persuade him to surrender, and on the other hand, he recruited Su Thick Leg to discuss the siege of the city with Cui Qian. Since Li Jing closed the city gate, it is obvious that the possibility of surrender is not great, and there may be only one way to storm it.

"Although the West Roll City is not high, if the ants attack the city, I'm afraid the casualties will be quite small." Su had fought in a war and knew the difficulties when besieging the city, so he was the first to express his opinion.

Cui Qian looked at the head of the city, thought about it for a while, and echoed Su Bush's opinion: "Looking at Li Jing's appearance, we should have been ready to defend the city a long time ago, we have not been able to cause a surprise attack, we have to make long-term preparations." It's just that this grain and grass can't support too many times. ”

Sun Shao glanced at them and smiled faintly. He knew the psychology of these two people. Su Thick Leg said that it was the truth, but Cui Qian had some intention of taking the school in it, he was forced to surrender to him, and he was not convinced, and now it depends on how he solves this problem, if he Sun Shao can't capture Xijuan City as soon as possible, then Cui Qian will not have him in his eyes, and when the time comes, he is likely to stand on his own feet again.

The problem at the moment is that there is no siege equipment, to storm the city, there is only one way to attack the ant, and the casualties of the ant-attached will be very large, Cui Qian will definitely not take the initiative, Su Thick Leg will also hesitate, and the only people who can listen to him are Chen Hai, Ding Feng and Zhao Sleeve. Of course, the best way is to build siege equipment first, but his military rations are limited, and if it drags on for a long time, he may be in a dilemma.

"I can't wait." Since these two pirate leaders were not proactive, Sun Shao had no intention of discussing with them, so he said straight to the point: "The burden of my return trip was originally to be borne by merchant ships, but now I can't leave for a while, and the prince of Linyi was killed by Jianzhong, I'm afraid that the sea crossing side will not go well." We are facing the danger of running out of food, and if we want to break this stalemate, we can only quickly break through the West Roll and replenish it with the autumn grain in the West Roll City. ”

"But......" Cui Qian smacked his lips, his face was embarrassed.

"No, but." Sun Shao pointed with his hand: "Can the little West Scroll City stop me?" The two of you will take a break and see me as the king. ”

Cui Qian looked at Sun Shao a little ridiculously, he felt that Sun Shao was talking big, now Sun Shao only had less than two thousand descendants on hand, and it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to break through Xijuan City without siege equipment. He smiled faintly: "In this way, I will wait to see the general's bravery." ”

Sun Shao looked at him quietly and smiled: "Jianzhong, last time you just saw the majesty of my naval battle, this time let you see how I attacked the city." ”

Cui Qian's face changed, a cold glint flashed in a pair of slender eyes, and then he nodded a little unnaturally: "Qian will wait and see." After saying that, he turned around and walked away without looking back.

Su was a little embarrassed, and he looked at Sun Shao worriedly: "General, is there really a way to break the city?" ”

"Of course there is." Sun Shaohao looked at Su's thick legs for a long time, and his mouth was crooked: "If I can't break through this small Western Scroll City, how can I cross the sea?" ”

Su shook his head: "General, you can cross the sea, and you have a sharp warship to rely on." Now that you don't have anything at hand, it's not easy to break through Xijuan City. ”

"It doesn't matter." Sun Shao waved his hand and interrupted Su's thick legs: "You go back to the camp to rest and see how I break the city." ”

Su Bu Leg frowned, he felt that Sun Shao was a little too arrogant, he was a little childish with Cui Qian just now, and now he excluded him who was willing to help, is this a bit too much? Or have you been winning battles lately, and you're a little bit thick?

"Then I'll wait for the general's good news." Su Thick Legs arched his hand, turned around and walked two steps, and turned back: "The general is relieved to attack the city, here I Su Thick Legs are here, and there will definitely be no accidents." ”

Sun Shao smiled, he nodded slightly: "In this way, there will be Brother Lao Su." ”

Su smiled thickly, arched his hand, and strode away.

Chen Hai, Ding Feng, Shuai Zeng, Zhao Sleeve and others looked at each other, turned around without saying a word, and arched their hands: "I am willing to follow the general to the death." ”

Sun Shao raised his head, sighed, and swept his gaze over the faces of Chen Hai and the others one by one: "Are you confident?" ”

Chen Hai and the others looked at each other and smiled bitterly, obviously they were just ready to fight Sun Shao to the death, but they didn't think that Sun Shao could really break the city. Sun Shao smiled, but he seemed confident, he stroked the knife ring, and looked at Chen Hai and Ding Feng without saying a word:

"Is Xijuan City as strong as Wancheng?"

Chen Hai and Ding Feng looked at each other and smiled, and said without thinking: "How can Xijuan City be compared to Wancheng. ”

"I heard that General Zhichong attacked Anhui City back then, took the lead, broke the city and went to the court, but there is such a thing?"

When Chen Hai heard this, his originally somewhat depressed face suddenly exuded brilliance, and he nodded heavily: "Yes, this is indeed the case, Hai was fortunate to have followed General Zhichong first." ”

Ding Feng also became energetic: "Does the general want to follow the example of General Zhichong?" ”

Sun Shao smiled: "Tigers don't wield, they treat me as a sick cat." They think that we rely only on the sharpness of warships to win battles, but they don't know that our sharpest thing is not warships, but our indomitable courage. General Chong attacked Cao's camp with 100 people, what kind of war equipment did he fight? He only fought for the courage of the heroes of the world. Although Sun Shao is not talented, but now he has the strong man who fought with General Zhichong at the beginning, and it is just a small test of the knife. ”

When Chen Hai and Ding Feng heard this, they immediately felt their blood boiling. Sun Shao's subordinates are now divided into four forces, among which the number of pirates in the East China Sea with Su Thick legs is the largest, with nearly 10,000 people, in fact, the South China Sea pirates under Cui Qian are the most, with a total of more than 5,000 people, and the rest are the men and horses who originally belonged to Gan Ning and the sailors of the Houguan Shipyard, among which the original Gan Ning has the smallest number and the worst strength, and has not been valued under Sun Shao's account. But today, Sun Shao handed over the heavy responsibility to them, and treated them as confidants like Zhao Sleeve and others, which was a great honor for Chen Hai and Ding Feng, who were originally a little uneasy. In their opinion, Sun Shao threw off the strongest Su Thick Leg and Cui Qian, and left the opportunity to them, which was a trust in them and an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"Chen Hai is not talented, and he is willing to be the governor of Shengcheng." Chen Hai knelt down on one knee, raised his hands into fists above his head, and shouted loudly.

"Ding Feng is not talented, and he is willing to be the governor of Shengcheng." Ding Feng was not to be outdone, then knelt down and shouted loudly.

"Don't think about it, I deserve it." Sun Shao pointed to his nose: "You will attack the city with me, and see how this Western Scroll City is better than Anhui City?" Let's see if I, Sun Shao, can be compared with General Zhichong, and whether I am qualified to lead you to conquer the world after General Zhichong. ”

Chen Hai and the others were stunned, and their confidence increased even more. Gan Ning is known for his bravery, but Sun Shao is not a weak person, he rode into Cao Ying, fought Zhang Liao, and the limelight covered Gan Ning, and now he personally participated in the siege of the city, this kind of courage alone is incomparable to ordinary generals, and more importantly, this shows that he regards Gan Ning as a hero, rather than just treating Gan Ning as a brave fighter like others. For Chen Hai, who once followed Gan Ning, this is a great honor and is worth repaying with his life.

"Follow the general to the death!"

"Let the brothers have a full meal, and after half an hour, let them see the majesty of our waiting, and tonight in the West Roll City, I will celebrate your achievements." Sun Shaolang shouted, waved his hand, and ordered Chen Hai and the others to prepare.

Chen Hai and the others responded violently and dispersed.

Li Jing looked at Sun Shao and the others at the head of the city, who had neither camped nor showed signs of retreating, and was puzzled. Is he besieging the city? Not like. If he wanted to attack the city, he had to send people to make equipment, and even if it was simple, he would have to build a hundred and ten ladders, right? Although the West Roll City is only one foot and five feet high, it is not something that can be climbed empty-handed, if you want to build so many ladders, it is not possible to do it in a day and a half, at least until this time tomorrow before the siege of the city, are they going to sleep outside the city? Is that to be withdrawn? It didn't seem to be like the young general, surrounded by a dozen men, pointing at the city wall, obviously arranging the siege, and showing no sign of giving up.

This is Sun Shao? Li Jing looked at this young man who has been in the limelight in Jiaozhou recently, and he was a little confused. When he came to Jiaozhou last year, he was only a supporting role at first, but he swallowed the headhunter in one bite, and then he made a strange thing about the sailor escorting the merchant ships, and with the footprints of the merchants, his reputation quickly spread all over Jiaozhou. These already sound very surprising, but his record this year is even more jaw-dropping, first in one fell swoop to surrender the big pirate Su Thick Leg in the East China Sea, and then captured the pirate king Cui Qian in the South China Sea, in just a few months, the situation in Jiaozhou has been turned upside down, and the scholar family who has crisscrossed Jiaozhou for 30 years has been disgraced by him, and can only bow down to Buqi.

In front of such a person, can Nisamaki City hold on? In a trance, Li Jing had a very bad premonition. He suddenly remembered the famous little overlord Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Sun Ce crossed the river with more than 1,000 people, fought in the south and north in a few years, conquered the six counties of Jiangdong, and laid the foundation of Jiangdong. As his son, Sun Shao has always been unknown, and many people think that there is a big gap between him and Sun Ce, who is indomitable, but now it seems that these are all wrong, Sun Shao has debuted for two years, and the momentum is fierce, which is better than Sun Ce. The difference is only that Sun Ce exalts his prestige in Jiangdong, while Sun Shao's reputation comes from naval battles, and now, he is about to start his first battle on land, will his Xijuan City become his first trophy?
