(ps: This week's recommendation is super unavoidable, ask for recommended votes and collection support.) ）

On the north bank of the Yangtze River in the south of Guangling, about two miles west of the current Guazhou steamer ferry, there is a small nameless stone mountain, the stone mountain breaks into the Yangtze River, three sides are surrounded by surging river water, only there is a rugged path in the north to go up the mountain, it can be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But this stone mountain is too small, the area of the top of the mountain is only a few hundred square meters, the height is only more than 150 meters, and it is far away from the ferry route of this era, and even the role of monitoring the route cannot be played, so the previous owners of this land have not paid attention to this small stone mountain, and no garrison fortress has been built on the top of the mountain, and the top of the mountain is bare, only some low shrubs grow.

Sun Ce's remnants of the army was trapped on the top of this nameless small stone mountain, it has been a day and a night, a day ago, in the case of Sun Ce fainting and unconscious, the ambitious Sun Ce's army suffered a disgraceful defeat, and was killed all over the field by the second-rate Xuzhou army whose overall strength was a cut away from their own, and they could not form an army, and they were driven from the city of Guangling to the nameless stone mountain on the bank of the Yangtze River.

Sun Cejun lost this battle can be said to be both cowardly and unjust, because whether it is the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers or the field combat ability of the large corps, Sun Cejun is actually above most of the Xuzhou army, even in the case of the burning of grain and grass and the morale of the army, the main force is still alive Sun Cejun still has the strength to fight in a short period of time, at least it should not be lost so miserably, but the development of the battle situation that night played a big joke with Sun Cejun, and also made Tao Yingzhuzi a great name.

In the case of the burning of grain and grass, if Sun Ce, who has a high prestige in the army, can hold on, Sun Ce's army should not collapse so quickly. But at this critical moment, Sun Ce vomited blood and fainted, which made the army's heart even more shaken, not to mention, Sun Ce's army also completely fell into a chaotic situation of a group of dragons without a leader, although Zhou Yu, who succeeded Sun Ce in commanding the whole army, was resourceful and his command ability was definitely not under Sun Ce, but he joined Sun Ce's army for too short a time, and his prestige had not yet been established.

If Cheng Pu or Huang Gai had replaced Sun Ce in command of the whole army that night, maybe the situation would have been better, but Zhou Yu was a person with more power, so he didn't think about being humble at all, and directly took over the command of the army in the name of Sun Ce's deputy. Cheng Pu and Huang Gai couldn't compete with Zhou Yu for power and profit in a hurry, and for the sake of the interests of the whole army, they could only temporarily bow their heads and accept Zhou Yu's command, and Cheng Pu and Huang Gai could swallow their anger for the sake of the overall situation, and other generals, especially the generals under Yuan Shu, couldn't think like this, and Sun Cejun's command system naturally fell into semi-paralysis. So even if Zhou Yu himself is unwilling to admit it, in fact he is one of the culprits of Sun Cejun's fiasco.

There are two other reasons for the fiasco of Sun Cejun's army, one is that the composition of Sun Ce's army is complicated, the old part of Sun Jian's army, which is the most capable and loyal, only accounts for a small part, and the Yuan Shujun, who is relatively weak in combat and unwilling to bury Sun Ce, accounts for the majority. Second, the Xuzhou army had excellent tactics and was extremely strong in targeting surnames, first using all kinds of tricks and new weapons to repeatedly hit Sun Cejun's confidence, dissipating Sun Cejun's morale, and confusing Sun Cejun's decision-making, and then diverting the tiger from the mountain to burn Sun Cejun's grain and grass, pushing Sun Cejun's army to the edge of the precipice of defeat.

After pushing Sun Cejun to the edge of the cliff, the Xuzhou army couldn't wait to kick the buttocks, and it was extremely vicious and only kicked the ass of Sun Jian's old department, the core force of Sun Cejun's army, and bit Sun Cejun's army composed of Sun Jian's old army along the way, but ignored the Yuan Shujun who was the majority of people, and let them escape, and most of the Yuan Shujun soldiers did not plan to bury Sun Ce, and they scattered and fled for their lives, leaving Sun Cejun's ranks, causing Sun Cejun to flee less and less, and the weaker he became. The Xuzhou army unswervingly held the tactics of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and always bit the core strength of Sun Cejun's army, and partially bit the decreasing Sun Cejun army with more fights and less.

As a result, when most of the soldiers of the Yuan Shu army fled from Sun Ce's side, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu and others could not turn over even if they had the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and could only desperately protect the unconscious Sun Ce all the way to the south, and were chased by the Xuzhou army like a duck to the Yangtze River. After escaping to the Yangtze River ferry, the ships on the wharf had already been expelled from the port by the Xuzhou sailors, and no boat could be found to cross the river.

The situation was urgent, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu and others had no choice but to lead the remnants of the army along the river bank all the way to the west, hoping to find a boat to cross the river and escape, but although the more than 1,000 sailors recruited by Deputy Director Tao from the hands of the Zhenrong rebels were only third-rate in battle, they were good at bullying the unarmed people and civilian boats, and the nearby ships had already been expelled and confiscated cleanly, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu and others couldn't find even a one-leaf boat no matter how they looked for it, plus Tao Ying also personally led the Junzi Army back to the front of Sun Ce's defeated army, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu and others wanted to cry without tears, so they had to lead the remnants of the army to escape to this nameless stone mountain surrounded by water on three sides to rest temporarily, and the Xuzhou army immediately attacked the mountain mercilessly, putting on a vicious posture to kill Sun Ce's remnants.

Fortunately, the terrain of this nameless stone mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the remnants of Sun Ce's army, which is basically composed of Sun Jian's old troops, are condescending, and have repelled the three attacks of the Xuzhou army, and the height of the nameless stone mountain is not high or low, which just makes the bow and arrow of the Junzi army unable to shoot to cover the top of the mountain, so after several attacks on the mountain were killed and retreated by the remnants of Sun Ce's army, the Xuzhou army, which had been arrogant for a long time, had to temporarily give up the plan to attack the mountain, changed the attack to block, and quickly built temporary fortifications to block the breakthrough road of the remnants of Sun Ce's army. At the same time, he ordered the Xuzhou Navy Division to tightly seal off the nearby river and not give Sun Cejun the slightest chance to escape.

The sun rose again, and the dazzling sunlight gradually covered the top of the nameless stone mountain without vegetation, Sun Ce, who had been in a coma for a long time, finally woke up again, and Zhou Yu and Huang Gai, who had been worried for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a rare happy smile, but it was a pity that whether it was Zhou Yu or Cheng Pu and Huang Gai at the moment, they were all unkempt, untidy, and their happy smiles were almost as ugly as crying.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Sun Ce, who was lying on the four-wheeled car, had a hoarse and weak voice, and asked with difficulty: "Is there any news about the people sent to cross the river to ask for help?" ”

The smiles on the faces of Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and the others disappeared suddenly, and after a long time, Cheng Pu replied weakly: "Major General Hui, you were only in a coma for one night this time, but several of our soldiers who swam across the river overnight were shot to death by Tao Ying'er's sailors in the river, and none of them reached the south bank. ”

Sun Ce's face turned a little pale, and he didn't blame Cheng Pu, Zhou Yu and the others for being ineffective, but just commanded in a hoarse voice: "Gong Jin, push me around the mountain to see if there is a chance to break through." Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, but it was not good to hurt Sun Ce's heart again, so he could only pull a broken flag and cover it on the car to cover Sun Ce's dazzling gaze, and then with the help of Huang Gai and Cheng Pu, he pushed Sun Ce with one arm to inspect the enemy's situation.

The result of the inspection was to make Sun Ce's heart broken, starting from Shouchun when the dragon spirit tiger fierce 8,000 tiger and wolf army, now there are less than 700 people left, and most of them are wounded, ragged clothes, incomplete weapons, and spirits, and can only rely on slaughtering war horses to eat some raw horse meat to satisfy hunger, the scene is so bleak that people can't bear to see. At the foot of the mountain, the land road has long been blocked by antlers and moats, and the rivers are full of large and small ships of the Xuzhou Navy Division, and the Xuzhou soldiers of the brigade are showing off their might at the foot of the mountain and on the deck of the warship, and they are ready to fight, not to mention that even the grain and grass have lost all the remnants of Sun Cejun's army, even a fly does not want to fly out.

At the end of the inspection, Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu to park the car on the north side of the stone mountain, looking at the gentleman's banner in the distance for a moment, Sun Ce finally asked again: "When I was unconscious, Tao Yingxiao'er, what did you do?" ”

"When it was just dawn, Tao Yingxiaoer sent a messenger to persuade him to surrender, but we shot back with random arrows, and there was no other movement after that." Zhou Yu replied.

"Persuasion?" Sun Ce smiled miserably and was silent for a while, before Sun Ce asked with difficulty, "Tao Ying Xiao'er, how did you persuade you to surrender?" ”

"It's just rhetoric." Zhou Yu also looked at the gentleman's banner fluttering in the wind in the distance, and said with a sneer: "What do you say Tao Yingxiao'er likes our talent and martial arts very much, as long as we put down our weapons and surrender, the custody can be reused, glory and wealth, money and beauty, and enjoy it inexhaustibly." ”

Sun Ce stopped talking again, and after a long time, Sun Ce said with difficulty: "Gong Jin, General Cheng, General Huang, in fact, you can accept Tao Ying'er's persuasion to surrender, with your literary talent and military strategy, no matter where you go, you will definitely be able to be reused." Tao Ying'er is not an ordinary person, if you surrender to him, he will definitely use you more. ”

"Major General!" Cheng Pu and Huang Gai screamed together, knelt down on one knee to Sun Ce together, clasped their fists and said in unison: "Young General, I have been blessed by the ancestors for a long time, even if I am broken bones, it is difficult to repay in case, how can I do such an ungrateful thing?" We are willing to follow the young general to the death, against all odds and dangers, and unswervingly! ”

"Bo Fu, is this what you said?" Zhou Yu also said dissatisfiedly: "I am as close as brothers and sisters to you, swear to live and die together, Anken wants to be rich and noble and betrays the old love?" If you say anything more, Yu will immediately kill himself in front of you, and he will die! ”

"Two old generals, please hurry up." Sun Ce said with difficulty: "Gong Jin, I'm not joking with you, you have also seen the current situation, we have no way to go to the sky, no way to go to the ground, and we have no food and no aid, even if we kill horses to satisfy hunger, we can't support it for a few days, and within a few days, the whole army will be wiped out, and it will be difficult to escape." You all have the talent of Wang Zuo, unfortunately followed me, and I have been affected so much, why should you accompany me to die in vain? It is better to vote for another lord in order to gain fame. ”

"I'd rather die than surrender!" Cheng Pu and Huang Gai and the other generals roared angrily, "We are all willing to continue to follow the young general, go to the soup and fight the fire, break our bones, and never regret it!" ”

"Who has not died in ancient times, leave Dan to take care of the sweat." Zhou Yu said lightly: "I heard that this poem was chanted by Tao Ying Xiao'er in Cao Mengde's camp, Tao Ying Xiao'er is a hypocrite and a real villain still has such ambition, let alone me?" Besides, we may not have no way to survive now, but we still have the opportunity to make a comeback and start all over again. ”

"Gongjin, you don't have to comfort me with these words anymore." Sun Ce said miserably: "In this situation, what way do we have to live? What other opportunities? ”

"Bo Fu, you are wrong again." Zhou Yu shook his head and said confidently: "I'm not comforting you with kind words, we really still have a chance!" Bo Fu, do you remember the news brought by Zhu Junli (Zhu Zhi)? Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to lead an army of 30,000 to the east, come to capture you, count the distance, at most six or seven days, Ji Ling's army will be able to arrive at the Guangling battlefield, then Ji Ling will inevitably fight with Tao Ying Xiaoer, we can also take the opportunity to break through, and then confess a few words in front of Yuan Highway, and then lie in wait for a few years under his command, and wait for you to heal your injuries, reorganize the team, and it is not too late to make a comeback. ”

"Yes, young general, Gongjin has a point." Cheng Pu echoed: "Yuan Shu ordered you to withdraw from the army, all because of Tao Yingxiaoer's poisonous plan, and your refusal to withdraw the army is also an excuse that the fighter plane is rare, and the army can not accept the life of the monarch outside, in fact, there is no trace." After returning to Yuan Shu's command, as long as he tries his best to defend himself in front of him and dispel his doubts, he may not have a chance to make a comeback. ”

"It makes sense." Zhu Zhi also echoed: "Young General, please don't forget, you still have Qiao Rui and Zhang Xun under Yuan Shu to make friends with you, they are all Yuan Shu's cronies, as long as you beg them to open your mouth to persuade them, you may not be able to say that Yuan Shu will not be moved." There are also several of Yuan Shu's cronies Yang Hong, Yuan Yin and others, we can also use gold, silver and jewelry to buy, and ask them to help with the situation, so that Yuan Shu must believe that the young general you have not betrayed! ”

"It makes sense...... Sun Ce began to feel excited, and asked thoughtfully, "However, can Ji Ling arrive so quickly?" ”

"Absolutely!" Zhou Yu said arbitrarily: "Jiujiang is surrounded by enemies on all sides, the armament is never light, and the autumn harvest has just ended, Jiujiang military food is very sufficient, Yuan Shu Xiao'er ordered, Ji Ling Xiao'er will be able to lead the army to the expedition immediately, and it will arrive at the Guangling battlefield in more than ten days, and Zhu Junli has already found out, after the second Tao Ying Xiao'er in the first month of September made people in Shouchun Zhang Bang separate, Yuan Shu Xiao'er has begun to prepare for the eastward expedition, Ji Ling Xiao'er also sent a forward on the sixth day of the first month of September, estimating the distance, at the latest within seven days, Ji Ling Xiao'er's forward can arrive under Guangling City! ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu paused, and then smiled again: "It would be even better if Ji Ling'er was divided into two ways and advanced by land and water." Yuan Shuxiaoer in order to prevent Liu Miao from crossing the river to the north, stationed heavy troops at Liyang Ferry, and confronted Liu Xiang's army in Niuzhu for a year, if Yuan Shu'er sent troops eastward from here, then the army went down the river by boat, and the speed was bound to be faster. If that's the case, maybe in a day or two, we'll be here! ”

"Major General, what Gong Jin said is right, we still have a chance." Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals persuaded one after another: "As long as we hold on for a few more days, Yuan Shu Xiao'er's army will be able to arrive, and Tao Ying Xiao'er will definitely retreat at that time, and the young general can also take the opportunity to escape from life." ”

Of course, Sun Ce didn't want to die, and the arrogant little overlord didn't want to surrender to the hypocrite Deputy Director Tao with inferior morals, so after listening to these persuasions, Sun Ce also rekindled a glimmer of hope in his chest, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, then we will persevere, and hold on until Yuan Shuxiao'er's army arrives!" I also ask the generals to comfort the three armies and persevere to the end! ”

"Obey the orders of the major general!" Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others clasped their fists together and solemnly agreed. Zhou Yu also bowed down and agreed, but after agreeing, Zhou Yu turned his gaze to the far north again, and his eyes were full of worry............

"Heaven forbid!" Zhou Yu muttered in his heart: "I hope Tao Ying Xiao'er didn't think of that method of attacking the mountain, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to hold on for even a day." ”

Before he finished muttering in his heart, Zhou Yu's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and his heart suddenly stopped beating, because Zhou Yu had already seen that on the road to the north, there were five huge wooden carts, which were slowly driving towards this side under the push and pull of the Xuzhou soldiers! Seeing these five wooden carts, Zhou Yu was also completely desperate, and said secretly: "I really think about it too beautifully, that kind of trebuchet was originally in Tao Ying's hands, Tao Ying still doesn't know that the trebuchet can be used to attack mountains?" ”

……………………

As the five Xiangyang cannons slowly approached, the Xuzhou army, which had been confronting the remnants of Sun Ce's army for a day and a night, also cheered, and many soldiers also took the initiative to run forward to help push and pull, striving to transport the Xiangyang cannons to the position as soon as possible, and fiercely bombarded the remnants of Sun Cejun's army hiding on the top of the stone mountain like a turtle with a shrunken head. Tao Ying also hurriedly sent infantry to clear the site 300 steps away from Shishan to facilitate the deployment of the Xiangyang cannon.

During the busyness, Lu Su ran to Tao Ying sweating profusely, and bowed his hand and said: "Don't be surprised, after General Zhang returned to the city yesterday evening, although Su immediately led the army to escort the trebuchet south, but this trebuchet is too heavy, and the road requirements are also high, so it is only now in front of the army, I hope that there will be no delay in the military plane of Gongzi." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Tao Ying laughed and waved his hand, and said proudly: "It's not too late to send it now, at most this evening, we can take Sun Ce'er's head back to the city in triumph." ”

"In fact, Sun Ce is also a rare fierce general, if Gongzi can recruit him over, it will be great." Lu Su reminded with a smile.

"I tried to surrender, but I was shot back by an arrow." Tao Ying smiled and said, "Wait for the Xiangyang artillery to bombard a few shots and shatter Sun Ce'er's last dream, and then send someone to surrender and give it a try." ”

Before he finished speaking, Tao Ying's eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed to a soldier behind Lu Su, opened his arms and shouted, "Brother Lin Xian, why are you here too?" Long time no see, quick, let the foolish brother hug! ”

Lin Qing's little girl, who was dressed in military uniform, hurriedly took a few steps back, dodged Tao Ying's ill-intentioned hug, and said viciously: "Get out!" Less of this! Touch me again, I'm going to make you look good! And Lu Su and Tao Ji, Xu Sheng and others next to him also knew that Lin Qingnai was a daughter at this moment, and they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

At the same time, in order to prevent Sun Ce's remnants from jumping over the wall, Tao Ying quickly arranged more strong bows and crossbows to block the road down the mountain, not giving Sun Ce's team a chance to break through. Although the Xiangyang cannon did not fire a single shot, on the nameless stone mountain, countless desperate screams had already sounded, and it was obvious that Sun Cejun, who had suffered from the Xiangyang cannon, had already understood that the end was coming.

The heavy box under the throwing arm of the Xiangyang cannon was finally filled with stones, more than a dozen soldiers struggled to pull down the throwing arm and tie it with hemp rope to fix, put the round stone bullet into the throwing spoon, and then cut the hemp rope that fixed the throwing arm with an axe, and the stone bullet weighing one hundred and fifty pounds flew out with a roar and smashed to the front end of the top of the nameless stone mountain, although the stone bullet did not hit the soldiers of Sun Cejun, but it immediately bounced up as soon as it collided with the hard stone mountain, and rushed forward with a roar, and the two Sun Cejun soldiers could not dodge, and were immediately smashed to break their tendons and fractures, and their flesh and blood flew sideways, and they were killed on the spot.

Seeing this scene, of course, the soldiers of the Xuzhou army under the mountain were thunderous with joy, Tao Ying ordered the soldiers to adjust the Xiangyang cannon to re-aim, but there was an exclamation on the top of the mountain, and Sun Ce smashed his fist on the handrail of the four-wheeled car with a weak fist, and the pale face that was so haggard that it made people feel distressed, it was also full of despair.

"All trebuchets, take ten steps forward and re-aim." Tao Ying brandished his horsewhip and shouted and ordered: "All the stone bullets are also prepared for me, and I will bombard his Sun Ce Xiao'er with dozens of cannons first......." ”

"Report!" The herald who suddenly rushed to the front interrupted Tao Ying's arrogant shouting, and after kneeling on one knee in front of Tao Ying, the herald panted and played: "Qi Yu Gongzi, our army's sailors scouted the fast boat, and forty-five miles upstream, found the Jiujiang Yuan Shu army warship!" ”

"What?!" Tao Ying's horsewhip landed on the ground, and his chin almost fell to the ground, and his heart said that it wouldn't be so coincidental, right? At most, you can cut the little overlord into a little king in one day, why did Yuan Shu's sailor just arrive?

"How many ships are there? What is the speed? Lu Su asked quickly.

"It's not clear yet." The herald wiped the sweat on his face and said: "But there are at least thirty ships, and there are no less than two hundred warships of other sizes!" When our scout boat spotted the enemy, the southeast wind was blowing on the river, so the enemy ship lowered its sails and went down the water, and the speed of the ship was not very fast. ”

Tao Ying didn't know much about water warfare, but Lu Su was a natural expert in water warfare, first looked up at the direction of the wind, and spent time waiting for the return of the herald scout boat, quickly pinched his fingers and calculated, and then said to Tao Ying with a gloomy face: "Childe, it seems that God really can't help our army, if the wind direction continues, Yuan Shushui will be able to arrive here in an hour." If the direction is changed to the northwest, then after half an hour at most, Yuan Shu's sailors will be able to arrive here! Moreover, the enemy's incoming army is at least more than 5,000, which is far superior to our more than 1,000 sailors! ”

Tao Ying kept a straight face and didn't speak, and just scolded the eighteenth generation ancestor of Yuan Shushui in his heart, if he didn't come sooner or later, he just came at this critical time, didn't he want to help Xiaobawang take viagra What is it?

"Second brother, let our sailors go up the river and intercept the incoming enemy!" Tao Ji next to him suggested: "As long as we get a daytime, we can wipe out the remnants of Sun Ce'er on the top of the mountain!" ”

"Less than forty old ships, old ships, can you stop them?" Tao Ying scolded angrily, "And once our sailor goes up the river, Sun Ce Xiao'er will immediately understand that he has waterway reinforcements coming, and he will resist desperately!" ”

"What then?" Tao Ji cried and mourned, "Yuan Shu Lao'er's sailor came too coincidentally, or we will intercept the sailor while attacking the top of the mountain with all our might, and strive to annihilate all the remnants of Sun Ce'er on the top of the mountain before Yuan Shu'er's sailor arrives!" ”

Tao Ying gritted his teeth and didn't speak, took two steps forward, looked up at the top of the mountain, and Lu Su whispered to Tao Ji: "Three generals, the mountain road is rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult for our army to succeed in a strong attack, and there will be heavy casualties. Moreover, our army can easily destroy the enemy by simply throwing stones continuously, and suddenly give up the easy and difficult, Sun Ce must understand that there is a turning point, and he will desperately resist to the last soldier! ”

Tao Ji stopped talking, and just lowered his head and just secretly scolded his cousin for doing a lot of evil, and the sky did not bless him. Lu Su was afraid that Tao Ying would have something to do under his anger and anxiety, so he went over and patted Tao Ying's shoulder, and comforted him in a low voice: "Childe, this is the will of heaven, the will of heaven will not let Sun Ce die here, it is beyond human power to force it, and please don't be discouraged, you can't kill Sun Ce this time, and there will be next time." ”

Tao Ying still kept a straight face and didn't speak, but suddenly, a kind smile appeared on the corner of Tao Ying's mouth, and said, "Zijing, thank you for reminding me again and making me think of another clever plan." This time, I don't have to attack, and I don't need to spend a single soldier to kill Sun Ce'er's dog! Even if he refuses to die even if he is small and strong, he can make him vomit three liters of blood, and he will never come out! ”

"What's Childe's plan?" Lu Su asked in surprise.

"Don't leak it!" Tao Ying shook his head, strode forward again, and shouted as he walked: "Come to a team of shield bearers and archers to protect me, I will go to the bottom of the mountain to answer Sun Ce Xiao'er!" The trebuchet is ready for me, and when you see me turn around and wave your hand, immediately throw a bomb! ”

Do you want to know what kind deeds Deputy Director Tao has for the benefit of the country and the people? See the next chapter breakdown. By the way, the nameless stone mountain surrounded by water on three sides that appears in this chapter does exist, and if you are interested, you can call up the satellite photos near Yangzhou to take a look, and you can see it clearly.
