Chapter 135: Sneak Attack on Sun Jian
As a gateway to the east of Luoyang, the city fortifications have always been very strong, and there are a large number of heavy grain and grass in the Guannetun, which has caused the situation that the whole pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Zhang Ji and Huaxiong joined forces in a whole Bishui Pass enough to have tens of thousands of horses, it can be said that the entire Bishui Pass has sufficient people and property as the backing, Sun Jian and the generals launched a comprehensive attack on the Bishui Pass, relying on the victory just achieved, the whole army still has residual heat, Sun Jian's troops added the ladder, and the weapons were rushed to the Bishui Pass like a swarm.
Zhang Ji and Hua Xiong saw that Sun Jian launched an attack in advance, and they were not surprised, Zhang Ji discussed with Hua Xiong, Zhang Ji said to Hua Xiong: "Sun Jian, this kid is really a ghost, it seems that he also realized his future situation, and actually launched an attack in advance!" ”
"So what are we going to do?" Hua Xiong asked.
Zhang Ji said with a smile: "General Hua, don't worry! That's fine, now you and I are in one place, and we will fight one family, with the advantage of this Bishui Pass, Sun Jian is hitting a stone with an egg, and he will definitely be defeated! ”
The two of them climbed the city tower while talking, at this time on the city tower Zhang Xiu was commanding the army to defend, Zhang Ji said Hua Xiong: "General Hua, we will act separately, each with a mouthful, now the city fortifications are solid, and the fortifications are readily available, as long as the command is properly Sun Jian will not be able to advance half a step!" ”
"What a shame! I'm going to guard the eastern pass! Hua Xiong said as he picked up his sword and walked towards the east pass, Zhang Ji also commanded on the spot, and several people assigned each pass to command
Sun Jian took advantage of the fact that the army had just won a new victory, and the morale was flourishing, and he wanted to take the Bishui Pass in one go, and he and several of his generals launched a fierce charge against the Bishui Pass from three places, and the army rushed to the Bishui Pass with a shout at the moment, like a flood that broke the embankment, and the shouting of killing was earth-shattering and like tearing the heavens and the earth. The defenders on the pass saw that Sun Jian had launched a charge, and the bows and arrows were already ready to be fired, Zhang Ji saw Sun Jian's army rushing over, and hurriedly ordered: "Release the arrows!"
As soon as Zhang Ji's words fell, he only heard a sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", and the rain-like bow and arrow blew towards Sun Jian's army under the city like a gust of wind. Sun Jian's army was immediately overwhelmed by the rain of arrows.
"Ahh
Sun Jian saw that the bows and arrows on the pass were dense and the army's charge was blocked, so he ordered the army to hold up the shield to resist the bows and arrows on the pass, and rely on the shield as a cover to continue to charge towards the city. This trick really worked, the soldiers held up their shields, people hid behind the shields and slowly advanced, raindrops of bows and arrows were blocked by the shields and fell to the ground, and occasionally there were soldiers who were shot, but the advance of the whole army was no longer hindered, and slowly moved towards the front of the pass
Seeing that Sun Jian's army was on guard, Zhang Ji, who was on the gate, ordered the archers to shoot while arranging for the soldiers to prepare to roll wood and stones to prepare for close combat. On the other hand, Zhang Ji also arranged a large number of soldiers as a reserve force, once the enemy rushed to the pass, he was ready to start a-for-tat duel with the enemy.
Sun Jian's army used the shield as a cover and quickly moved to the front of Bishui Pass. Before the army could add up the ladder, I saw the rolling wood and stones on the city falling one after another, like a landslide and the ground cracked, and Sun Jian's team was once again submerged under the rolling wood and stones, and in an instant the wail shook the sky and the blood flowed like a river.
Sun Jian's army attacked again and was blocked, and this was already the third time that it had launched a charge. However, the fact that the city defense of Bishui Pass was too strong to get close at all, Sun Jian commanded the army to rush again and again, and the best result was that the soldiers set up a ladder and climbed to the center of the ladder and were smashed down by the rolling wood and stones that were closed, and many soldiers used ropes to climb the city tower, but they were cut off halfway through the climb. The consequences can be imagined.
This wave after wave of charges caused heavy losses to Sun Jian's army, but Sun Jian's charge did not cause much trauma to the defenders on the pass, the city defense of Bishui Pass is still the same, the soldiers on the city continue to carry all kinds of defensive materials, Sun Jian saw that the brothers suffered heavy casualties, Bishui Pass is still solid, and the consequences of knowing that the road is unimaginable if it continues like this, after some thought, he decided to withdraw his troops and give up attacking Bishui Pass, Sun Jian's attack finally ended in failure, he withdrew the soldiers who surrounded him, and the army retreated 50 miles to the village
Zhang Ji and Hua Xiong successfully repelled Sun Jian's attack on Bishui Pass, making Sun Jian pay a heavy price, this night Hua Xiong found Zhang Ji and said Zhang Jidao: "Sun Jian's attack on Bishui Pass was not a big injury, the morale of the army was frustrated, and it has retreated 50 miles, I think this is a great opportunity!" ”
"What do you mean?" Zhang Ji asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
Hua Xiong smiled: "This is a good time for us to sneak attack!" ”
"The general must not be reckless! Sun Jian has always been strategic, and the main force is still alive in this new defeat, and his generals have not been damaged, and the generals may lose if they act rashly! Zhang Ji persuaded.
Hua Xiong then said: "The general doesn't know, why did Sun Jian retreat?" ”
"The siege of the city has lost its troops, and the vitality has been greatly damaged, of course it has retreated!" Zhang Ji's eyes widened as he spoke.
Hua Xiong continued: "The general only knows one and doesn't know the other, and there was a detailed report a few days ago that Sun Jian's lack of food and grass was unsustainable, so he retreated!" ”
"Is this true?" Zhang Ji asked with wide eyes.
Hua Xiong continued: "It's true, if it were a simple loss of troops, Sun Jian would not have withdrawn so quickly!" At most, he reorganized his troops and horses in order to fight again, but now it seems that Sun Jian no longer has the ability to plan to attack the city, I think it won't last long Sun Jian will inevitably retreat, we should take advantage of this attack to defeat Sun Jian in one fell swoop! ”
"What the general said is extremely true, if this is the case, Sun Jian will definitely be defeated! But the general should not be in such a hurry, since there is a problem with the supply, the more it is delayed, the more it is not good for the enemy, and we can wait for the completion of the great success, now the army has been exhausted after a day of fighting, the fighting spirit is not strong, it is better to recuperate and act tomorrow night, and Sun Jian must be prepared for the new defeat, tonight's action may be prepared, and tomorrow night the battle will be won! Zhang Ji stroked his beard and said.
After hearing this, Hua Xiong nodded and said, "It's still the general who thinks about it, then tonight we will rest and rest and act tomorrow night!" The two of them agreed not to send troops to attack and rested on the water gate.
It turned out that Sun Jian's army served as the vanguard to fight outside, after many battles, there were many victories and defeats, and after a long time outside, the grain and grass brought by him became increasingly scarce, and the supplies were increasingly unable to keep up, and the army was exhausted from continuous combat, and there were problems with grain and grass, and Sun Jian's army could no longer support it
Why does this happen? It turned out that the Kwantung Coalition Army crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance, and it was his younger brother Yuan Shu who was responsible for the task of transporting grain and grass as the chief officer, this Yuan Shu has always been treacherous and narrow-minded, he knew Sun Jian's strength, he saw Sun Jian as the vanguard, lest Sun Jian make great contributions and achieve his career, so he secretly calculated that he would not send grain and grass to Sun Jian, causing Sun Jian to have insufficient grain and grass, and there was a problem with the supply, so he had to withdraw from the army.
Sun Jian's army retreated 50 miles to the village, the grain and grass could not be helped, Sun Jian was very uneasy, and successively sent a number of envoys to the coalition army to urge the grain and grass, and he took the army to rest in place in order to fight again, this night Sun Jian was studying the war in the camp, at this time he hurriedly ran into a soldier from outside, and hurriedly knelt down and reported: "The lord Huaxiong has killed the army, and please avoid the lord quickly!" ”
The man just finished the report but listened to the shouting outside the tent to kill the sky, Sun Jian was suddenly shocked by this sudden change, he hurriedly picked up the weapon and put it on the battlefield, at this time he saw the northwest people shouting Mas seemed to have infinite men and horses to kill, the whole camp was in chaos, Sun Jian was horrified when he saw this, at this moment he saw a few generals rushing in the four directions, Sun Jian saw that it was his own generals Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zu Mao rushed over from the four places, several people gathered next to Sun Jian, Huang Gai said Sun Jian said: " Lord Huaxiong has killed you, let's cover you, hurry up! ”
Sun Jian saw that the soldiers of Huaxiong were very fierce and knew that Lu Dao was not an opponent, so he hurriedly retreated under the persuasion of the generals, and at this moment he only heard a huge thunderous voice and said: "Where did Sun Jian escape?" ”
Sun Jian followed the prestige to the firelight but saw a person holding a big knife, with a fierce face, it was Hua Xiong, but he saw that several generals around Hua Xiong were Li Su, Zhang Xiu, Zhao Cen Ye, Li Su took advantage of the chaos to burn all the grain and grass that Sun Jian had only, and the fire was soaring to the sky, Sun Jian couldn't help but be furious, and crossed the horse and danced the knife to fight Hua Xiong, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others also came to help, Hua Xiong urged Ma to fight Sun Jian, and several generals around him also fought with Sun Jian's subordinates, and the two sides fought under the reflection of the firelight
Hua Xiong held a big knife and fought with Sun Jian to a place, Sun Jian stood up his Henggu ingot knife, the two of them quickly collided together, but heard a "bang" sound, the fire splashed, the two big knives hit the dazzling fire in the night sky, Hua Xiong was fierce and waited for work, a big knife pressed Sun Jian clenched his teeth, his Henggu ingot knife was quickly pressed down by Hua Xiong, Sun Jian saw that Hua Xiong couldn't stop it, so he sold a flaw to pull back the big knife, and then slashed to Hua Xiong from one side, Hua Xiong's eyes were fast and he had already seen it in his eyes, only to see that he stopped Sun Jian's big knife with a big knife, Hua Xiong bounced Sun Jian's big knife back with a strong force, and the big knife slashed back evilly, Sun Jian saw that Hua Xiong's big knife was fierce and too late to resist, this knife obviously came straight to his neck, Sun Jian hurriedly lowered his head, Hua Xiong's big knife suddenly cut his helmet, cut Sun Jian's helmet crookedly, and the big knife flew over Sun Jian's head with a "whoosh", Sun Jian was shocked into a cold sweat.
