Chapter 381: Breaking the Deadlock
The two armies took advantage of the night to fight, the battle was extremely fierce, Sun Ce and Tai Shici's martial arts were originally between the best, but he suffered two arrow wounds, and it was inevitable that he would be powerless under the long battle, and he gradually fell into the disadvantage after less than fifty battles. Han Dang is the same, the young general Liu Yu is getting braver and braver the more he fights, and a shot of an iron gun makes him superb, completely pressing Han Dang. And the 1,000 light cavalry brought by Sun Ce also lost most of them, and the remaining 200 or so people were also struggling to support, according to this situation, it was only a matter of time before the whole army was annihilated.
Sun Ce's surname is Ge Qiang, although he fell into the wind, he was not discouraged at all, and he fought extremely fiercely with Tai Shici. The veteran Han Dang kept his sanity at any time, because of the suddenness of the incident, the reinforcements behind him had no time to rescue, and he couldn't help but retreat when he saw that the whole army would be wiped out if he continued to fight.
At that moment, while struggling to resist Liu Yu's onslaught, he said loudly: "Keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood!" The young master doesn't want to fight again, it's not too late to take revenge after meeting with the team! ”
Sun Ce's expression was hideous, covered in blood, and he shouted loudly when he heard the words: "Why are you afraid of a clown who jumps off the beam? As long as you hold on for a moment, when Cheng Pu and Cen Bi's army arrives, you will be able to kill Liu Xuan's remnants without leaving a single piece of armor! ”
Tai Shi Ci sneered: "Arrogant, this is the place where you and other thieves are buried!" After that, he stepped up his attack, and the iron spear in his hand flew up and down, making a fatal move.
Han Dang was in a hurry, and wanted to persuade him, but Liu Yu was pressing step by step, and he no longer gave him a chance to speak. In the blink of an eye, another twenty times passed, only to hear Liu Yu shouting violently, and the spear trend was like electricity, directly taking Han Dang's throat. The latter was already exhausted, and although he escaped the throat, his left shoulder was pierced in a clear hole, and blood gushed wildly.
Han Dang screamed, and ten percent of his combat power immediately went to seven or eight percent. Sun Ce saw it in his eyes, was angry in his heart, and immediately struggled to set up Tai Shici and stepped forward to save him. But Liu Yu hated Han Dang very much, because Liu Yu died under Han Dang's arrow, and he won the power with one move, and the move was fatal.
Han Dang was not Liu Yu's opponent, and he was even more tired of dealing with serious injuries, seeing Liu Yu's spear stabbed in the chest, he was ruthless in his heart, and he didn't dodge, dodge, or parry, and yelled in his mouth: "Young master, go away!" Shu Han can't follow the lord to fight the sand" Before he finished speaking, Liu Yu's spear had already penetrated his chest. I saw that Han didn't change his face in person, but dropped the weapon in his hand and firmly grasped the gun with both hands. He is already powerful, and his dying struggle is even more extraordinary, so that Liu Yu can't pull it out even if he can't pull it out with all his strength!
Sun Ce's eyes were red, and he was full of remorse, knowing that Han Dang's move was to hold Liu Yu for a moment to create a chance for him to get out, so he rushed out of the battle group with a few moves, and roared angrily: "General Han, don't worry, as long as I, Sun Ce, don't die, I will definitely avenge you!" "After that, I don't dare to be strong anymore, and take the remaining hundred or so horsemen to fight a bloody road! Go straight to the direction you came from.
Tai Shi Ci then pursued and killed, but Sun Ce's personal soldiers protected each other to the death, and in the dark night, Sun Ce was mixed with more than 100 cavalry and it was difficult to distinguish at all, so that Tai Shi Ci and others could only fight blindly. And Liu Yu also picked up the dead Han Dang, and rode with Tai Shici for more than ten miles, although the two stabbed more than 30 cavalrymen to death, they never found any trace of Sun Ce.
The two knew that Sun Ce still had reinforcements that had not yet arrived, and they did not dare to go deep alone, so they returned the same way when they saw that it was difficult to make contributions. After this ambush, the 1,000 cavalry brought by Sun Ce was left behind and the general Han Dang was folded, while Tai Shici's 3,000 elite soldiers only suffered more than 300 casualties because they were well prepared. At that moment, the number of people was counted, the spoils of war were collected, and more than 500 war horses were hurried to Linxian.
However, it was said that Sun Ce lost his troops and returned from defeat, and finally met with Cheng Pu's large army at dawn, and there were only more than 50 people left in a thousand light cavalry, and his own injuries were not light. Cheng Pu and Cen Bi sighed secretly after learning what happened, and secretly regretted that they had broken the general Han Dang. Sun Ce fought fiercely for a day and a night, coupled with the injuries on his body, he could no longer support it as soon as his spirit relaxed at this moment, and he lay unconscious on the carriage.
In this way, the command fell on Cheng Pu, who led the army to the scene, and after collecting the corpses of Han Dang and others, he camped on the spot, and at the same time sent scouts to the vicinity of Linxian to inquire about the military situation.
Tai Shi Ci's army also rushed to the Linxian capital at dawn and met Di Rong and Xue Li, everyone discussed for a long time, and decided to let Di Rong and Xue Li set off immediately, while Tai Shi Ci and Liu Yu stayed in Linxian to delay time. Both sides are tired divisions, and it is not suitable to fight for the time being, so they have tacitly chosen to reorganize their troops in place.
Two days later, the baggage troops in charge of Zhenrong and Xue Li had already left, and the Guangling Taishou who stayed in Jiangdu chose to open the city and surrender, leaving an empty city of little value for Zhou Yu and Yuan Tan.
When the news reached Shouchun, Yuan Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least the sworn enemy Liu Miao had been destroyed, and even if the rest of the party fled to Xuzhou, there was no need to worry. In this way, it was possible to concentrate forces to attack Xuzhou, and the war in Yanzhou could also be regularized, and the Central Plains War finally officially began.
After consulting with all the strategists under his command, Yuan Shao ordered Wu Jing and Yuan Tan to join forces, set off from Jiangdu and marched all the way to Pengcheng, and attacked Xuzhou with Yan Liang, so as to defeat Xu Huang and Wenpin and completely occupy Xuzhou. At the same time, he ordered Lu Yi and Wen Chou, who had just been transferred to Yanzhou as his deputy, so that the two of them could divide their troops to prevent Ma Chao, and at the same time, they cooperated with each other in Cao **, vowing to take Dongjun in one fell swoop and eradicate the tumor of Lu Bu.
After this incident, Xuzhou and Yanzhou, which were relatively calm, immediately surged, while Jingzhou, on the contrary, was relatively calm. First of all, Yuan Shao transferred the general Chun Yuqiong to the ancient city to replace Wen Chou as the main general, while Yuan Xi and Gao Gan and others were safe and sound, and continued to stay in the army as a prestige. Chun Yuqiong is also Yuan Shao's old subordinate, and his qualifications are only higher than those of Wen Chou, but he is a philistine, but he is not as meticulous as Wen Chou. It is precisely because of this that the duo of Yuan Xi and Gao Gan gradually grasped the right to speak, and soon set Chun Yuqiong in the air.
Seeing Jia Xu's plan, Pang De immediately rushed to camp fifty miles outside the ancient city, and there was no intention of storming the ancient city in a short time. In the south of Jingzhou, Liu Biao got the help of Ma Chao, and soon updated most of the general's weapons and equipment, and sent the general Huang Zu to lead the Jingzhou naval army to defend Jiangxia, making it difficult for Sun Jian, Liu Xun and others to advance an inch.
Zhang Liao led 50,000 troops to cross the Yangtze River, recovered Changsha, Baling and other places in one fell swoop, and fortified Baqiu on the shore of Dongting Lake. 50,000 soldiers and horses can threaten the entire Jiangdong, and retreat can defend the Changsha defense line, so that Sun Jian and others are jealous and dare not attack Jiangxia with all their might.
However, it was said that Ma Chao couldn't help but be overjoyed after learning that Tai Shici rushed to Xuzhou to vote in Wuchao, and what was even more surprising was that Liu Yu, the nephew of Liu Xuan, was able to tie with Sun Ce. He only knows that in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is a young general by Tai Shici's side who can block more than ten generals in Jiangdong, but he doesn't know his name, nor his background, so this person is most likely this Liu Yu.
In order to win over Tai Shici, Liu Yu and Liu Xuan's old department, Ma Chao rewarded Liu Xuan's family members in a big way, and added Liu Xuan as a "loyal and brave waiter", buried with the rites of the princes, and named his wife Ma as Peiyang Jun. This move really played a role in buying people's hearts, Tai Shici, Liu Yu, Zhang Ying and others were all grateful, under Xun You's arrangement, the three of them, together with their subordinates, a total of more than 5,000 people joined Zhang He's department, who had just rushed to Xuzhou to support the war. The 5,000 people immediately took on a new look, not only receiving the equipment such as the fish scale kai and the black iron helmet, but also the military salary and rank system were also opened to them one by one.
