A.D. 207, early July.

Gao Shun, the general of the Western Qian, led an army of 100,000 to attack Xuyi, and after outflanking Shouchun's flank, Sun Ce could no longer care about Cao Cao, and hurriedly waved his army eastward, personally raising the army to Tuzhong to meet Gao Shun, and ordered the Eastern Wu Navy to go north and attack the grain road of the Qianjun army from the waterway.

At the end of July, Luo recruited 200,000 troops to surround Shouchun, only besieged but not attacked, but ordered the general Zhang Liao to lead 100,000 troops out of Anfengjin to the south to attack Hefei, half a moon is broken, Cao Hong, the general of the Cao army, did not retreat, led 8,000 soldiers and horses to defend.

When the city was broken, Cao Hong died in the city and was beheaded by the cadres.

Zhang Liao immediately divided his troops and attacked the rest of the counties in Lujiang and Huainan.

At the beginning of August, Zhang Liao's troops besieged Anhui City, and Cao Cao's adopted son Cao Zhen led his army to break through the siege several times, but they were all repulsed. On the tenth day, the city was broken, Cao Zhen failed to break through the siege and was captured by Zhang Liaosheng, and ordered the sergeant to be escorted to Shouchun and handed over to Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng ordered the armor to push Cao Zhen to Shouchun City and behead him, and threw his head on the head of Shouchun City.

In mid-August, the Western Qianshui Army and the Eastern Wu Naval Army fought at Hongze Lake, but they were defeated and hundreds of warships were captured.

At the beginning of September, Gao Shun waved his army to attack Xuyi, personally led two thousand dead soldiers to the city, Xuyi broke, Sun Ce ordered the army to withdraw to Liyang, personally led three thousand soldiers and horses to resist the enemy, Gao Shun raised troops to pursue the victory, and blocked Sun Ce in the north of the east city twenty miles.

On the hill, the horses neighed and the people boiled, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

"Kill!"

Sun Ce was covered in blood, slapped the horse's head, and rushed to kill.

After the 3,000 broken foot soldiers, all of them had already died in battle, and only a few hundred personal soldiers were left around them.

Although they were all cavalrymen, they were already tired of men and horses, and they couldn't run anymore, so they climbed this hill to rest. Not wanting the dry army to come very quickly, Gao Shunqin led 8,000 cavalry to break away from the army and catch up.

Sun Ce broke through several times. Nor could they penetrate the encirclement of the 3,000 Western cavalry, and they were trapped on this hill.

"Be careful, lord!"

Sun Ce is fighting bloodily. A loud shout rang out behind him.

Before he had time to turn his head, he was knocked off the horse by Tai Shici, who pounced on him. narrowly dodging the iron arrows shot by the sharpshooter of the Qianjun with a two-stone bow, dozens of soldiers rushed forward, fought hard to kill the cavalry of the Qianjun, and helped Sun Ce onto his horse.

"Ziyi, I'm afraid that I can't escape today!"

Sun Ce wanted to raise a knife to fight, but his arms were already sore, and he couldn't help but say miserably.

Tai Shi Ci's face was sad, but his tone was very firm, "The horse leather shroud is the highest honor for our soldiers. Being able to kill the enemy side by side with the lord is enough for Ci Ping's life and wishes, even if he dies on the battlefield, what does it matter! ”

"Good!"

Sun Ce looked up to the sky and laughed, "Kill!" ”

With a pat on the horse's head, he rushed forward and continued to charge.

More than 100 riders followed closely behind him, and although his body had long been overdrawn, no one was willing to give up.

Rather die in battle. He also refused to be a prisoner of the dry army.

A mile away, under the banner of a hunting and flying.

Gao Shun's face was expressionless, standing solemnly across the horse, and his cold eyes swept across the battlefield. casually ordered: "Order the left flank of the army to outflank the back of the hill, and be sure to capture Sun Ce and Taishi Cisheng." ”

"Order!"

A herald had already answered the order loudly and quickly urged the horse to leave.

Soon. The left flank of the cavalry, which had been wandering on the flank and had not joined the battlefield, swept over the hill. Sun Ce and Tai Shici, who were blocked again, broke through the weak point, and let Sun Ce kill softly. I can't rush out.

The soldiers' bodies had long been overdrawn, and the horses could not run.

Half an hour later, Sun Ce was alone with Tai Shici, and there was no one alive.

Sun Ce grabbed the reins of the war horse and panted violently, and the ancient ingot BMW had been thrown on the ground and couldn't lift it.

The war horse under the crotch also drooped its head, panting, sweating profusely, and the four-legged horse legs kept trembling, as if it might kneel down at any time, Tai Shici and the war horse under the crotch were no better.

All around, hundreds of thousands of cadres and cavalry were surrounded by three layers in the inner and outer three layers, and Sun Ce and Tai Shici were surrounded by murderous spirits.

If it weren't for the herald to pass down the military order and catch them alive, these red-eyed soldiers would have rushed to divide the corpses of Sun Ce and Tai Shici, and Sun Ce's head didn't know how much military merit it was worth.

"Ziyi, send the lonely one for a ride!"

Sun Ce said indifferently: "Lone doesn't want to be a prisoner, give Lone a knife!" ”

"Lord!"

Tai Shici's face was sad and he couldn't speak.

"Hurry up!"

Sun Ce urged impatiently, and Gao Shun had already rushed over not far away.

"Ah......h

Tai Shi Ci looked up to the sky and roared wildly, and laughed loudly: "The lord is good, the last general will come later!" ”

After that, he raised the last trace of courage, stabbed out a shot, directly piercing Sun Ce's heart, and then before the surrounding cavalry could react, he pulled out his sword violently and pulled it across the shins.

Burst!

With a splash of blood, Sun Ce and Tai Shici planted their horses one after another.

"!"

The little colonel Qianjun, who had just been shocked, finally came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and scolded his mother.

"What's going on?"

Gao Shun was able to urge the horse to arrive, but he was a step too late.

A commander lieutenant hurriedly said: "General, Sun Ce and Tai Shici have died by suicide. ”

"Huh?"

Gao Shun glanced at it, his eyes froze for a moment, and then waved, "Send the corpse to the lord's camp!" ”

"Yes!"

A personal soldier had already rushed over and put away the bodies of Sun Ce and Tai Shici.

In September, the news of Sun Ce's death reached Jiangdong, and the whole country of Eastern Wu mourned.

Sun Ce refused to surrender, naturally because he did not want to give up the foundation laid by the Sun family in Jiangdong.

Otherwise, if he is captured, Jiangdong will inevitably be shaken, and it is very likely that Luo Zheng will take advantage of the situation to cross the river.

Only by dying on the battlefield can we arouse the hearts of the people of Jiangdong who are the same enemy, and can we unite Jiangdong from top to bottom, take the river and natural dangers as the screen, and deal with Luo Zheng to the end.

After Luo Zheng received the corpses of Sun Ce and Tai Shici, he immediately ordered people to send them to Jiangdong to lighten the hatred of the people of Jiangdong.

Soon after the news of Sun Ce's death reached Jiangdong, the Jiangdong ministers supported Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan to succeed the throne of Wu and command the three armies on the grounds that Sun Ce's son was too young to inherit the great cause.

Sun Quan lived up to expectations, put aside his hatred for the time being, decisively abandoned Jiangbei, and ordered the entire Wu army to withdraw to Jiangdong.

Sun Ce died on the battlefield, and the Wu army was on the verge of collapse, and it was simply unable to fight again.

At this time, giving up the territory of Jiangbei, shrinking the housing line, and appeasing people's hearts is the only sure choice. Only by first stabilizing the hearts of the people of Jiangdong can we accumulate vitality and rely on the river to defend ourselves.

In October, Shouchun ran out of food.

The 30,000 Cao army was in danger of mutiny.

Cao Cao was desperate, with 2,000 cavalry, and a group of henchmen went out of the city at night to break through.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Yinling, he was caught up by Xu Chu and his army, and the two thousand most elite tiger and leopard cavalry were defeated and lost by the three thousand wolf cavalry led by Xu Chu, and Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, was beheaded by Xu Chu on the spot.

Cao Cao, under the desperate protection of Dian Wei, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Xiahou Shang and other generals, only took dozens of relatives to ride, escorted Cheng Yu, Xun You and other henchmen to flee to Liyang, wanting to cross the river from Liyang to the south and go to Jiangdong to join Sun Quan.
