Chapter 173: Ambush

Huang Zu got Liu Biao's order, his heart was excited, and he immediately began to dispatch troops, intending to defeat Sun Jian with one blow and let him lose his life. And the Changsha County that is about to be vacated can be controlled by itself. Although it is already Jiangxia Taishou, it is still very tempting to get more than one county.

Two hours later, Huang Zu had been rewarded by the scouts and had already figured out the direction in which Sun Jian and his party were heading.

At this moment, Sun Jian and his entourage had given up the carriage and horses, boarded the big boat, and walked all the way along the Han River.

After getting the exact news, Huang Zu immediately looked at the map of Jingzhou hanging in the house, picked up the charcoal, and drew the route map of Sun Jian and his party on the map, and officially walked along the Han River.

Until he reached the boundary of Xiangyang, Huang Zu's eyes lit up, his face was happy, and the charcoal in his hand was slammed, and it was immediately shattered.

Happy, I looked at the map of Xiangyang next to me, until I saw that the map of Da Xian Mountain was directly inserted into the Han River, which was exactly the same as what I remembered, and I was immediately overjoyed.

As long as he buries hundreds of archers on Da Xian Mountain, coupled with a few bed crossbows, he can wait for Sun Jian to send him to the door.

He secretly said in his heart: "Sun Jian, this is your own death, if Lao Tzu doesn't accept your life, I really can't bear your kindness." ”

With an idea, Huang Zu immediately ordered his generals to take the bed crossbow to the mountain to ambush, intending to solve Sun Jian here. Due to the difficulty of the Da Hyeon Cliff Road, there are only five bed crossbows with him.

At the same time, in order to avoid Sun Jian's breakthrough in the chaos, Huang Zu sent a naval army to ambush on the other side of Da Xian Mountain, once Sun Jian broke through, whether it was encircled or pursued, it was extremely convenient.

At this time, Sun Jian and the others were unaware of Liu Biao's murderous intentions, and even less aware of Huang Zu's ambush, so they just followed the Han River and took a boat all the way.

A few days of sailing.

Standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the vast river and the towering green mountains on both sides, Sun Jian's heart was full of pride, this great mountain and river will be controlled by him Sun Jian.

"Father, the humidity on the river is too heavy, you better go back to the boat." But after a while, Sun Ce took Cheng Pu and others to find out, and saw Sun Jian standing alone on the bow of the boat, frowned, walked up, and at the same time took off his cloak and draped it on Sun Jian.

"Don't worry, my son, in the past few days, my father's body has been half better, and now I just need to move around more, which is conducive to recovery."

Sun Jian smiled with relief, but did not agree.

"Now it's the boundary of Xiangyang." Seeing that Sun Ce was about to speak, Sun Jian said again.

"yes." Sun Ce had no choice but to say, "Father, look, the prominent cliff in front of you is the famous Da Xian Mountain in Xiangyang, and many literati and artists like to gather on the cliff of Na Xian Mountain, watch the trend of the Han River, and make landscape articles, which is the most leisurely." ”

Sun Jian naturally knew about Naxian Mountain, after all, he was a high-ranking official in Jingzhou, and when he came to Xiangyang every year to meet the state pastor Liu Biao, he would definitely come to Daxian Mountain, in order to recruit some literati and strategists to enrich the strength of his command.

It's just that, for some reason, now looking at the mountain that is getting closer and closer, Sun Jian always has a feeling of disobedience, but he can't say why, he can't understand, he doesn't think much about it, just because his body is not yet well, and some sequelae.

couldn't understand where this feeling came from, Sun Jian didn't think much about it, and finally looked at the waves of the rivers and mountains, and turned around to enter the boat to rest.

…………

On the cliff of Da Hyeon.

"General, look, Sun Jian's ship is here." One of Huang Zu's lieutenants had been staring at the river, and suddenly a building boat appeared in his field of vision, and immediately shouted to Huang Zu, but this shout was really suppressed, lest it spread and startle Sun Jian and his party.

Huang Zu glanced at the deputy general with appreciation, although the river was rough and he couldn't hear the sound here, but the deputy general's caution, he was still very satisfied.

After a turn of thought, Huang Zu raised his eyes and saw a building ship coming, and after a closer look, he could see a few people standing at the bow of the boat.

"Aren't those people Sun Jian and others?" Huang Zu thought to himself, but he was also happy, the target stood in the open place, which was more convenient for his lore.

"General, the building ship is already within range of our bed crossbow, is it going to attack immediately?"

After a while, Lou Chuan approached, and the vice general asked Huang Zudao again.

Huang Zu thought about it and felt that it was better to get closer, and the chances of success could be greater.

Thinking so, Huang Zu opened his mouth and ordered: "All the bed crossbows are aimed at Sun Jian, wait for the ship to approach the cliff of Da Xian, and then attack after listening to my orders." ”

The adjutant immediately went down to give the order. Because the ambush point was not large, it was soon rushed back.

Just as he was about to return to his life, suddenly, Huang Zu's hand was raised, and the adjutant general's eyes shrank, he knew that this was the order that General Huang Zu was about to give to start the attack.

Although he wondered why he had changed his mind so quickly, the adjutant general still gestured to the units at the ambush site, signaling to obey the order.

The reason why he changed his mind was only because Sun Jian was about to turn around and go back to the boat to rest.

The great opportunity was in front of him, how could Huang Zu watch him leave, raised his hand and quickly hemmed it, and at the same time shouted in the air and ordered: "Shoot!" ”

In an instant, the crossbow strings of the "Zheng Zheng" bed were loud, and five thick crossbow arrows were aimed at the bow of the ship where Sun Jian was.

Sun Jian, who had just turned around, was about to walk to the boat, when he suddenly saw the horror on the faces of Sun Ce and the others, his heart palpitations suddenly appeared, and without the slightest hesitation, the whole person fell on the spot and rolled to the side.

At this time, Sun Ce and others exclaimed "Be careful" in their ears.

Through the posture of the roll, Sun Jian saw the situation behind him.

Five thick crossbow arrows, with a sharp momentum, have appeared in the air a few meters behind him, in the blink of an eye, they penetrated the deck where he was standing before, five crossbow arrows, the difference is only a few feet, it can be seen that the person who controls the crossbow has excellent skills.

Sun Jian was glad that he did not hesitate to dodge, otherwise, he would have to become meat sauce at this time.

"Stop the boat! Turn! At this time, Sun Ce, Cheng Pu and others had also reacted, and seeing that Sun Jian was fine, Sun Ce immediately stepped forward and helped Sun Jian up, and at the same time, Cheng Pu had already given an order to the owner of the ship at the helm.

And the soldiers who were originally stationed around also immediately rushed over and escorted Sun Jian and the others to the ship.

On the cliff of Daxian Mountain, seeing that Sun Jian had escaped, Huang Zu was so angry that he pulled out the sword on his waist, pointed at the building boat, and shouted and ordered: "Keep shooting, you must shoot Sun Jian to death!" ”

However, after all, the bed crossbow is a large total device, and it is not as convenient to reload as a bow and arrow, and before the second wave of crossbow arrows can be fired, Huang Zu once again issued an attack target.

But because the owner of the ship listened to Cheng Pu's order, he had already stopped the ship, and the crew was adjusting the sails, intending to turn around and run away.

"All the bed crossbows are aimed at the mast of the ship, and the mast is broken for me, and Sun Jian must not be allowed to escape."

Huang Zu's order was also timely, just after the second wave of crossbow arrows was wound. As soon as they heard that the target had changed to the ship's mast, all the soldiers who operated the bed crossbow immediately fine-tuned the bed crossbow and shot it out randomly.

A whole three crossbow arrows were accurately shot at the main mast of the ship, and there was only a "click", and the thick mast fell to the bow of the ship, smashing the ship's buildings in front. If Sun Jian and the others hadn't hid quickly, I'm afraid that this smash would have caused them to hurt a few people.

Losing the main mast, the building ship has lost the possibility of turning around, and the speed has dropped greatly, Huang Zu nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time said to the deputy general beside him: "Order the navy to attack, and you must kill Sun Jian for me." ”

The adjutant general received the order, immediately took out a ringing arrow, bent his bow and set up an arrow, and shot it to the other side of Da Xian Mountain.
