At the end of July of the eighth year of Guangxi, Cao Cao was divided into pieces, and with the help of Yiren, the army was quietly assembled around Lu'an and Hefei in the form of Yiren troops, and then took advantage of the night to assemble and attack Shucheng and Chaoxian fortresses with cavalry, cutting off the back road of Sun Ce's army in one fell swoop.

"My lord, the current plan must immediately break through with all his might, and the idea of capturing Hefei to break the crisis is absolutely unacceptable1

"Yes"

"Lord, Gong Jin's words are very true, instead of storming Hefei, it is better to turn around and storm the fortress of Shucheng, and then order General Cheng Pu to attack from Shu County, open up the back road and then talk about other chapters."

Sun Ce looked at the city wall of Hefei hatefully, seeing that Hefei was going to be unable to hold on, who would have thought that Cao Cao would come to such a hand at this time, he would not go north to rescue Chen County and Peiguo, but actually wanted to go south to fight himself, which is really puzzling.

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce a little anxiously, now he is standing on the edge of the cliff, a mistake will fall into the abyss, Sun Ce must not be too stubborn at this time!

Sun Ce looked back at the generals with different expressions, sighed and said, "Okay, let's withdraw the troops1."

"Lord, please allow me to come to the palace.1 Zhou Yu took the initiative to ask for his life again.

Sun Ce looked at Zhang Hong, then at the young Zhou Yu, who was a little excessive, and nodded vigorously: "Gongjin, you lead Huang Gai Palace, and lead the front army to open the passage 1."

"No! The lord beware of the surprise attack of the enemy army, and do not be careless when marching1

"I know, Gongjin should also be careful and do everything according to his ability1

"Don't worry, the lord doesn't chase after them. If he chases him, he will suffer a big loss1

Sun Ce smiled, patted Zhou Yu's shoulder hard, and turned the horse back to the barracks!

That day. Sun Ce pulled out the camp and returned south, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai slowly retreated behind, and Cao Ren, who was on the city wall, saw that Sun Ce's army was not chaotic, and there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, so he did not open the city to pursue, but quietly watched Zhou Yu retreat.

It wasn't until Zhou Yu's troops went far away that Cao Ren gathered more than 10,000 cavalry in the city and chased after him. Cao Ren's idea was just to follow behind to see if there was a chance, maybe Sun Cejun would be in a hurry to retreat, and he thought that Cao Ren would not dare to pursue. Thus the guard was relaxed.

Who knew that after chasing less than twenty miles, Cao Ren fell into Zhou Yu's ambush, and it turned out that after Zhou Yu quickly retreated, he set a trap in this favorable terrain. Ambush the ambushes behind the mountains on either side. When Cao Ren fell into the trap, the ambushes on both sides came out, and the arrows rained down, which suddenly made Cao Ren suffer a big loss, and in the chaos, Cao Ren fled under the protection of his own guards, and the cavalry fled backwards regardless of it, and there was not even a decent counterattack.

The fart and urine fled back to fatten, and Cao Ren no longer dared to pursue. Fortunately, this time only cavalry was used to pursue, and if the whole army was dispatched, it would be miserable. If you don't do it, Hefei will be lost.

In fact, his idea was just the opposite, if the whole army attacked, maybe he could bite Zhou Yu's troops, and it was possible to completely cripple Zhou Yu's small number of troops, it was precisely because the number of troops he pursued was not too much and not too embarrassing, and he was negligent and easily fell into the trap, so that the current situation will occur.

Besides, Sun Ce, he was cautious along the way, and he really fought with Cao Cao's scouts and scouts on the road, but he was not sniped by a large army, obviously Cao Cao felt that the opportunity was not good, and did not make a move.

Sun Ce came to the Shucheng fortress the next day, and now the fortress has fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, looking at the big flag fluttering on the fortress, Cao Cao is indeed sitting in the Shucheng fortress.

Sun Ce was not in a hurry to attack, the Shucheng fortress was not in the way, and Sun Ce's troops were not attacking troops, but withdrawn troops, and it was completely easy to bypass the Shucheng fortress and return to Shu County, however, after Sun Ce got the news that Zhou Yu had ambushed Cao Ren, he felt that he could fight a battle with Cao Cao in Shucheng, and if he could defeat Cao Cao's main force here, then there was no need to burn the war to Lujiang County.

More importantly, if the main force of Cao's army can be defeated in one fell swoop, there may be a chance to re-attack Hefei and open the door to Huainan.

"Lord, Cao's army now occupies the fortress of Shucheng, according to the intelligence Xu Chu's cavalry is wandering in the south, it seems that there is an intention to ambush General Cheng Pu, Lejin's troops are in Chao County, and there are not many of them."

Zhang Hong pointed to the map to explain the current situation to Sun Ce, Sun Ce listened very carefully, and subconsciously stroked the ancient ingot knife with his palm, and the divine light flashed in his eyes.

"What about the number and composition of Shucheng Cao's army?"

"There are 80,000 infantry in Shucheng, of which 20,000 are heavy infantry, and there are about 25,000 Xu Chu cavalry outside the city."

"Our army has 20,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry, if Gong Jin can arrive immediately, there are still 20,000 infantry, General Cheng Pu will attack 50,000 cavalry, and it may be a little insufficient to storm Shucheng, but if you can eat Lejin, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Zhang Hong smiled and nodded: "The lord is wise, do you want to use General Cheng Pu to raid Chao County?" ”

"Gong Jin also went directly to Chao County, and we camped north of Shucheng to prepare for Cao Cao's formation with General Cheng Pu, this time we had to teach Cao Cao a profound lesson.1

"Le Jin, I order you to lead 20,000 infantry to go out to the east of Linjiadu to ambush on the mountain, and when you see Cheng Pu arrive, you condescendingly attack with a heavy crossbow 1

"No1

"Cao Zhen 1

"The end will be 1

"Order you to lead the tiger and leopard to ride in ambush in the mountains and forests five miles north of Linjiadu, and when the fire starts in Linjiadu, immediately lead the army to attack1

"No1

"Zhicai, where is Zhongkang?"

"We have arrived at the intended location1

"Very good, we will also set off as soon as possible to ambush 1 on the west side of Linjiadu

"Lord, we're all gone, what should we do with this Chaoxian fortress?"

"Oh, what should I do, just leave it empty, and have the sergeant fill the walls with banners, and the four gates closed, and put some pack horses in the city, and smear mustard oil on their buttocks.1

"What is this mustard oil for?" Cao Zhen asked curiously.

"Ask so much what are you doing, just do it.1 Cao Cao stroked his beard and replied with a smug smile.

Cao Zhen hurriedly responded: "Nuo 1."

Xi Zhicai understood Cao Cao's thoughts after a little thought. I couldn't help but purse my lips and chuckle

"General, the enemy is coming, 50,000 cavalry. There are still ten miles 1 from Linjiadu

"Order all the sergeants to put their swords in their sheaths, and not to move on the ground, and not to kill if they violate the rules.1

"No1

"Lord, the enemy cavalry has already crossed Lin Jiadu and can attack 1

"Shoot the arrows! Trumpet Attack 1

Cao Cao waved his hand vigorously, and several arrows let out a sharp whistling sound and rose into the sky. The sound was like a ghost's scream!

"Woo! ~Woo! ~”

"Heavy crossbow salvo, put 1

"Skills, paper charms! Put 1

"Woohoo"

"Boom! Boom 1

Arrows like rain, skills like thunder. smashed into the Cheng Pu army, which was advancing in the shape of a marching army, and suddenly a group of people turned over on their backs, and the soldiers unconsciously looked for a place to hide, but this was the crossing of the river. The terrain is very open. Arrows were raining down on the hill to the east, and in the forest on the west side, the black-pressed enemy troops were shooting arrows from the woods while forming a formation outside the forest, and the soldiers in heavy armor quickly rushed forward.

"General, there is a large group of cavalry behind, under the banner of Xu Chu1

Cheng Pu's face turned blue, didn't he say that Xu Chu was near Shucheng. Didn't you say that Cao Cao was in charge of Shucheng? Where did Xu Chu here come from? And where did the heavy infantry, which was attacking itself, come from?

"Order the rear army to form a tight formation, and in any case entangle the enemy's cavalry. The front army was ordered to form a formation to the west, and the Chinese army charged to the hill on the east side1

"Boom~"

"What a sound 1

"General, general, no, the heavy cavalry of the enemy army, at the front, is assaulting 1

"General, General 1

"That's it, my life is over! Ordered to fight to the death1

"No1

"Kill! The enemy army was ambushed, and the enemy army was completely annihilated and Cheng Pu was captured alive

"Kill! ~”

Cheng Pu was repeatedly impacted by two cavalry before and after, especially the less than 5,000 heavy cavalry in the front, which was Cheng Pu's nightmare, although Cheng Pu also had 8,000 cavalry in the front army, but he was first attacked by a heavy crossbow, and then he was hit by a round of tiger and leopard cavalry, and immediately turned into dead bodies, and then the two cavalry of the Cao army rushed back and forth in Cheng Pu's emergency assembly battle formation, so that Cheng Pu was never able to form a formation

"Gong Jin, there are no defenders in this city at all, is it an empty city?"

Huang Gai looked at the head of the city where the flags were waving, and there was the sound of the hunting flags fluttering, and the surroundings were very quiet, which looked very weird.

"Shh

"Hey, there seems to be the sound of horses' hooves."

"Well, sporadic sound of horses' hooves, it is likely that the enemy army has ambushed the cavalry behind the gate, ready to storm us."

"What to do? Won't you fight? ”

"General Cheng Pu hasn't arrived yet, isn't it useless to launch an attack now?"

"This"

"Set up camp first, and there is no need to use indiscriminate trickery, and they will be powerless, and if they go out of the city to attack us, it will be just right, and in a moment I will take men to camp, and the general will lie on one side.1

"Hehe, okay 1

"Cheng Demou, don't be stubborn, now that your men are dead, you might as well surrender! What is the future of following Sun Ce's children, why don't you assist my lord and create a great cause together1

"Haha, I Cheng Pu has nothing else, only loyalty is not lacking, unlike Cao Cao's thief, no, I don't want Cao Cao, the thief who steals the country, if he has the ability, he will come and kill me, what's the point of talking that nonsense 1

"Hmph, I don't know what to do with the reckless man 1

"Xu Chu, there is so much nonsense, dare to fight me alone1

"You? You are not my opponent 1

"Don't be ashamed, look at the gun 1

"Shoot 1

Cheng Pu's war horse has not yet rushed up, it was inserted into a hedgehog by the rain of arrows in the sky, Cheng Pu has jumped down from the fallen war horse, standing on one side, holding a spear and glaring at Xu Chu who is charging, he has also been hit by a number of sharp arrows, but it did not hurt the vital point!

"Look at the knife 1

Xu Chu's long knife rolled up an evil wind, with the help of horsepower, unstoppably swung towards Cheng Pu, Cheng Pu didn't care about his life and death at all, rubbed his steps forward, and with a spear, he stabbed at Xu Chu with his life for his life, and the gun was so fast and strong that Xu Chu felt that he couldn't dodge!

"Traverse 1

'Bang/

Xu Chu's knife was changed to smashing, and it smashed on Cheng Pu's right shoulder at once, almost smashing half of his body, Cheng Pu fell to the ground with a puff and half knelt on the ground, and saw Xu Chu turn around in circles, Cheng Pu, who was covered with blood, picked up his spear with his left hand, held the spear back, and stabbed the tip of the spear into his heart with a force.

Xu Chu looked back and saw that Cheng Pu had already leaned forward, hanging his head, and died on his knees! To be continued...
