The "whooshing" rain of arrows shot from a high pitch, raging in the sky, with great lethality.

In the loud sound of "boom", the rocks and rolling logs were crushed down from the hillside, rampant and unstoppable.

In the face of such a fierce and fierce defensive position, the Jiangdong Army, which repeatedly tried to raid the camp on the top of the mountain, although the battle was brave and tenacious, and rushed forward one after another, but it was repelled again and again by the defenders of the cottage, and it was difficult to advance an inch.

The Qianshan camp occupies an absolutely favorable terrain, is condescending, and the defensive armament is sufficient, forcing the Jiangdong army that attacked the camp to be repeatedly frustrated and return in vain.

By this time, the Jiangdong Army had been attacking Qianshan for more than half a month, but it had no results.

Not only that, under the strong attack for more than 20 consecutive days, the soldiers of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were ordered to attack the cottage, suffered heavy casualties. The two of them originally led 5,000 troops to chase and kill the remnants of Yuan Shu, but now there are only more than 2,000 people left, and they are sleepy and lack horses, and they are no longer able to fight.

As a last resort, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin had to jointly ask Sun Ce to send reinforcements. Until then, they could only do their best to block all the intersections down the mountain and wait for help.

In less than half an hour, Sun Ce personally led 3,000 light cavalry and 5,000 infantry troops to the foot of Qianshan, joined forces with Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and then quickly organized troops to continue to storm the camp on the top of the mountain.

However, the result of this strong attack was no different from the previous one, and it was still a strong attack, and it was once again repelled by Yuan's army.

"Bang!" In the camp tent at the foot of the mountain, Sun Ce learned that the attack again was fruitless. Immediately furious, the case was opened. The moment he got up, the case in front of him clicked. Even if it disintegrated with a "rattle", the case was scattered and broken, and sawdust was scattered all over the place.

How can that be? It's just a grass hut, why can't you conquer it for a long time? Sun Ce, who had a hideous face, stood tall and glared angrily at the generals under his tent, his sharp eyes swept over the generals like a sharp blade, and finally fell on the heads of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.

Suddenly. Everyone under the tent was silent, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and they stood with their heads bowed one by one. Trembling, sincere fear. Especially Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were stared at coldly by Sun Ce, held their breath, and dense beads of sweat the size of beans overflowed on their foreheads. Sweat profusely. I don't know the situation. I thought the two of them were sweating in the heat on a cold day, or they were swinging.

From this, it is not difficult to see that Sun Ce is a very majestic prince, with a very high prestige in the Jiangdong Army, and he is decisive in killing and killing. So much so that the generals under his command were extremely in awe of him, and no one dared to refute what he said; Even if he is wrong. And no one dared to justify or dispute it before him. This is the supreme majesty of the superior, and it is said in a word. Rightly or wrongly, it's an unquestionable golden rule.

"The lord is angry." Just when Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were about to lose their hold, Zhang Hong flashed out of the ranks and said respectfully: "The failure of this attack on the cottage is not the fault of the two generals, they have done their best. The lord also saw it just now, the Yuan army on the mountain was very well defended, and it occupied an extremely dangerous geographical advantage, condescending, waiting for work, and attacking strongly, forcing our soldiers to be unable to get close to the camp at all.

In addition, the officers and men of the two generals' headquarters suffered heavy casualties, more than 1,000 wounded and disabled soldiers in the camp tents on the west side alone, and the remaining nearly 2,000 soldiers were all killed in battle. At present, more than half of the officers and men of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's subordinates have been lost, and they are indeed unable to fight again. Therefore, he begged the lord to exempt the two of them from punishment, let them make meritorious service for their crimes, and continue to serve in front of the army. This is really intercession for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.

Zhang Hong has always been a harmonious person and is very good at being a person, and he has a good reputation in the Jiangdong Army and is quite loved. Not only is he like this, but Sun Ce is also very good at being a person, even better than Zhang Hong. This is Zhang Zhao Zhang Zibu, who was appointed by Sun Ce as the chief history of Jiangdong, and this time he did not go out with the army, but stayed in Jiangdong. At present, Zhang Zhao is in charge of Jiangdong's civil and military affairs, and he is actually Sun Ce's most relied on arm; He is virtuous and wise, and he is sophisticated in life, and there is no one else in Jiangdong among the ministers.

Seeing Zhang Hong come forward to intercede, Sun Ce snorted coldly in anger, and then took his cold gaze away from Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. Immediately, he paced to the door of the camp with his sword in his right hand, frowned, looked up coldly at the camp on the top of the mountain, and said in a deep voice: "Zigang can have a good plan to capture the enemy camp and capture Yuan Shu alive?" ”

Zhang Hong's expression was calm after hearing this, obviously when he came forward to intercede for Zhou Tai and the others just now, he had already expected that Sun Ce would ask him, if there was no countermeasure, he would not dare to rashly stand up and be a good person.

"Don't worry, the lord does have a retribution." When he replied, Zhang Hong walked lightly to Sun Ce's side, and then said: "At the moment, we can't wait to attack, and Yuan Jun doesn't dare to go down the mountain, the two sides are facing each other, and the battle is stalemate. However, after more than 20 days of fierce fighting, although our army suffered great losses, didn't the Yuan army on the mountain have no casualties? I'm afraid it may not be. Perhaps the casualties of the Yuan army were indeed not as heavy as those of our army, but the casualties of our army were nearly 3,000, and the Yuan army paid at least more than 1,000 casualties. If this is the case, Yuan Shu was only defeated by more than 3,000 remnants of the army when he fled to the mountain, so how many soldiers and horses does he still have now? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Hong's tone paused, raised his hand and pointed to the camping on the top of the mountain, which was quite high, and said incomprehensibly: "Lord, look, this cottage in front of you is placed on the top of the mountain, the terrain is extremely high, and its east and south sides are cliffs, and birds and beasts are extinct; To the north was a dense jungle, which was not conducive to the brigade to go up the mountain, and to the west was where the camp of our army was located. In this way, as long as our army firmly besieges the western and northern exits, and then divides our troops to garrison various streams, the water source on the mountain will be completely blocked. The cottage in front of you will inevitably be self-defeating, at least five days, at most ten days, you can capture Yuan Shu alive! After a lot of tricks, Zhang Hong finally said his plan, which can be summed up in one sentence: cut off its water source and trap Yuan Shu.

The literati are like this, they can explain things clearly in one sentence, but they have to say a bunch of big truths, and they don't say the key points until the end. In particular, the famous and famous people always have to make some foreshadowing before speaking, as if only in this way can they show their profound knowledge and ingenuity; If you say it directly, it will seem that he is very shallow, it is difficult to attract the attention of others, and it seems that he is irrelevant.

Listening to Zhang Hong's words, Sun Ce was very impatient at first, if he hadn't taken care of some of Zhang Hong's face, he almost couldn't help but scold. However, when Zhang Hong said the last sentence, Sun Ce's expression was shocked, his eyes suddenly lit up, and after thinking for a while, he bowed slightly, and finally showed a smile on his face. It's just that his smile is very cold, his eyes burst out with a sharp cold light, his whole body is full of murderous aura, and he looks up at the camp on the mountain and sneers.

But after sneering, Sun Ce frowned again, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a deep face, and his eyes showed a little worry.

"Cutting off its water source is indeed a good strategy to break the enemy, but has Zigang ever thought about it, is five days too long?"

Sun Ce's cold words made Zhang Hong's expression change suddenly, and the smiling face that was originally laughing with Sun Ce suddenly dimmed, and the laughter stopped abruptly. At this moment, Zhang Hong was deeply surprised, speechless, or he hadn't figured out Sun Ce's intentions yet, so he didn't dare to speak lightly.

Seeing Zhang Hong's somewhat flustered look, Sun Ce couldn't help frowning, and Gu Zi said: "Zigang should be very clear that the current situation of our army is not optimistic. At present, although most of the cities in Lujiang County are in our hands, Li Li's army has not left Shouchun yet, and its vanguard soldiers and horses are behind our army. Once Li Li decides to take action against our army, within two days, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will appear in front of us. How will we deal with it? ”

After a pause in his voice, the worry on Sun Ce's face became more and more intense, and he said worriedly: "With the current strength of our army, if we confront the Xiliang Iron Cavalry head-on, there is no chance of winning. And this is still a more decent statement, to put it bluntly, that is, our Jiangdong Army is not the opponent of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry at all, and once the war starts, it will definitely be defeated!

And the only thing we can rely on is the Jiangdong Naval Division, but at the moment, we are in Jiangbei, there is no danger to rely on, and the Naval Division is useless at all. It's ?????? Although the strategy of cutting off the source of water is desirable, it is not suitable for the shape that our army is facing at the moment. ”

After speaking, Sun Ce turned around and walked to the center of the big tent without waiting for Zhang Hong's answer, and ordered sharply: "Lu Dai listened to the order, led three thousand troops to the northern jungle, blocked the stream, blocked the enemy's water source, and then led the army up the mountain, pressing step by step. Make no mistake! ”

"No, the last general will take the order!" Lu Dai left in response.

"Tai Shici, Ling Tong, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang, Chen Wu listened to the order, and each led a thousand soldiers and horses, day and night, taking turns to attack the enemy camp, there must be no mistake!"

"No!" Tai Shi Ci and the others responded in unison, and then turned around and left the big tent.

With the orders of the generals to go, the 8,000 cavalry brought by Sun Ce and the 2,000 soldiers and horses under Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were all dispatched, and only 1,000 light cavalry remained by Sun Ce's side.

"Report ——— bang!"

Less than half an hour after the generals left the big tent, they saw a sentry rush into the camp tent in a panic, and collided with Sun Ce, who was about to leave the camp in battle armor.

"Presumptuous!" The sentry was knocked by Sun Ce and sat on the ground, and Sun Ce, who was hit by the soldiers under his tent, was annoyed and angry, and after scolding him sharply, he pulled out his sword and wanted to kill the sentry horseman.

"Spare your life! Xiliang 、、、 Xiliang Army is here! Seeing Sun Ce draw his sword and swing it, the sentry hurriedly cried and begged for mercy, and stated the purpose of the trip.

"Whew!" The sound of the blade breaking through the air buzzed in the sentry's ears, and the cold light on the back of the sword made his cheeks ache, but there was a great surprise in his heart for the rest of his life.
