Chapter 401: Retreat from the army and seek revenge in Ji
Chen Mo pointed to the surroundings of the moling on the map and said:
"Moling is next to the Yangtze River, if you defend to the death, there will be no way out, but now the morale of the army is low, and the retreat will be followed and pursued, if you can defeat Sun Ce's army to stimulate morale once, and then retreat south to the land of Jiaozhou, with your army swept away to regain a foothold, and when the strength is enough, you will wave your army to conquer Sun Ce or hold the stronghold."
Xue Li and the others didn't want to throw themselves into Sun Ce, Chen Mo came up with a slightly conservative strategy, if Xue Li and the others could defeat Sun Ce once, at least they would have no fear when they encountered Sun Ce's army in the future, let them retreat to Jiaozhou, where the terrain was undulating and not conducive to the army fighting, if Xue Li and the others had the opportunity, they could defend one place and give Sun Ce a headache;
Now Chen Mo doesn't plan to kill Sun Ce directly, that is, he still needs to unify Jiangdong and finally clean up, but if he comes forward to make Sun Ce temporarily unable to enter, it will definitely lead Ji to find him.
"And how do you win the first battle?" Xue Li and the others all looked at Chen Mo and asked.
Chen Mo smiled incomprehensibly, he asked Xue Li and the others to pack the grain and grass and strictly prohibit people from entering and leaving the Moling, and then asked 20,000 horses to make the appearance of defending the city.
A few days later, Sun Ce's army arrived outside Moling City, and Sun Ce led several people to the city and shouted:
"Xue Li, Zhang Ying, and Chen Heng, your lord has fled to Jingzhou, what is the point of you defending this lonely city, if you pacify Jiangdong together with my Sun Bofu, sooner or later you will have a prominent position."
Chen Mo stretched his bow and pulled an arrow in the city tower, and an arrow flashed in a flash of cold light, and the arrow was accurately shot on Sun Ce's leg, Sun Ce fell off his horse with a miserable scream, and the guards he followed hurriedly took him back to the camp.
"Mr. Mo, will they definitely pretend that Sun Ce is dead and trick us into sneaking up?" Xue Li, who was watching all this beside Chen Mo, asked in a low voice.
"Sun Ce has Zhou Yu, and they don't know that I am in your army, if they really hang up the white cloth and retreat from the funeral camp. What will you do? Chen Mo said lightly.
"We're going to hunt them down." Zhang Ying replied on the side.
Chen Mo nodded and said:
"Hehe, even if Sun Ce is really dead, with Zhou Yu and that group of generals, you will lose if you go, not to mention that he is not dead, the morale of his army is there;
Wait a minute, Zhang Ying led 5,000 people to make a detour and go out of the left flank first. Chen Heng led 5,000 men to detour out of the right flank, remembering that there could not be an enemy sentry within five miles, and when they pulled up the camp and retreated, Xue Li led 10,000 troops to attack them, regardless of their ambush and rushed straight to the Chinese army, they were still invincible with arrows;
The rest of the men and horses and people are ready to retreat, and when Sun Ce's army is defeated, you will immediately lead the army to evacuate and go to Jiaozhou to take care of Shixie. Tell him that you only need to recuperate and recuperate, and you can block the enemies who enter Jiaozhou for him, so that at least you will not be a threat for a year. ”
Zhang Ying and Chen Heng each left from the river with 5,000 men and horses, and an hour later the spies reported that Sun Ce's army was mourning and withdrawing, and Xue Li let thousands of archers lead the army with enough arrows according to Chen Mo's explanation, but it took seven or eight miles to catch up with the tail of Sun Ce's army.
Sun Ce's army had already prepared for battle under Zhou Yu's arrangement, and when he heard the sound of pursuit in the rear, he turned around and set up the formation, Sun Ce rushed to the front of the formation with a huge ancient ingot knife in his hand and shouted loudly:
"Sun Lang is here, you should abandon your weapons and surrender as soon as possible."
Sun Ce in the romance burst into applause, causing countless Liu Miaojun to throw away their armor and weapons, and surrender on their knees. Now he saw Xue Li wave his spear, and thousands of archers raised their bows and arrows and shot away.
The archers shoot arrows as they press down with the pikemen and shield men. As soon as he encountered it, Ce was shot backwards sharply by the random arrows, but hundreds of soldiers were shot into hedgehogs by the random arrows.
At this moment, Huang Gai and the others each led a thousand troops from both sides, Xue Li already knew that they would ambush, and also explained to his sergeants, and saw them appear at this time. His tens of thousands of horses roared forward and continued to charge, and as the archers succeeded in their surprise attacks, Sun Ce's army continued to retreat, while the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen in Xue Li's army had broken through into the chaos and began to slaughter wildly.
Waves of arrows rained into Sun Ce's army, and Huang Gai and the others howled from afar and surrounded them. At this moment, the ambush soldiers followed by Zhang Ying and Chen Heng came from behind, and Sun Cejun's original ambush was surrounded, and tens of thousands of people fought fiercely in a small hill near Moling.
Xue Li and the others were only in charge of the assault, and the entire Sun Ce army was killed by the gathered raid army, which killed a full eight or nine thousand people, and had to quickly withdraw the army, escaping for more than fifty miles, waiting for them to clean up the mess, but Xue Li and the others were directly outside Moling City and assembled with the army and people who transported the baggage to the south.
"Mr. Mo is leaving again?" Outside Moling City, Zhang Ying looked at Chen Mo and asked with emotion.
Zhang Ying was hypnotized and brainwashed by Chen Mo, and he trusted Chen Mo a lot, and he was about to break up before he had time to celebrate the big victory, and he seemed a little reluctant.
"When you arrive in Jiaozhou, don't be sowed discord by others, if you can support each other, even if Zhou Yu is unparalleled in strategy, you may not be able to defeat, hurry up, if Zhou Yu comes back to his senses and thinks that you are ready to retreat, he will definitely send troops to pursue." Chen Molema said.
Zhang Ying nodded and Xue Li and others led the army to evacuate quickly, Chen Mo didn't expect him to do this, Zhang Ying and Xue Li gathered 100,000 troops in Jiaozhou, and fought with Sun Ce, Sun Quan and others for many years, they guarded Nanhai County together, and with the support of Shixie's troops and logistics, they did not play general battles and resourcefulness with the Eastern Wu Army, which actually made Zhou Yu, who was extremely resourceful, unable for a while.
After breaking up with Zhang Ying and the others, Chen Mo walked along the river, but ten miles away, he saw a white-haired old man standing on the road in front of him, and the familiar appearance of holding a wooden staff made Chen Mo's eyes shrink slightly and drove the horse aside, but he quickly swept forward in a few steps.
Falling near the old man, Chen Mo shouted in a deep voice:
"Yu Ji Lao'er, are you looking for revenge on me? Looks like your injuries are almost healed. ”
Yu Ji showed a faint smile on his old face, and he pestled the wooden staff and said:
"It seems that the rebel has leaked the secret to you, but so what, no one in the world will believe your words, and today will be your death next year."
"You, such an arrogant old immortal, since you are in a panic to die, then a certain family will send you on the road." Chen Mo's palm exuded a scorching aura, and he said indifferently.
"Hehe, do you think that the old man is so stupid to come alone, and today he will let you know the fate of offending us."
In Yu Ji's strange laughter, a lame one-eyed old man with a rattan cane walked out behind Chen Mo, one of his eyes was full of red, and although his foot was limp four or five feet away.
"Zuo Ci." (To be continued.) )
PS: Go out at the end of the month.
