Under Sun Ce's strong attack, although the Jiangdong army resisted stubbornly, it eventually began to rout and retreat because it transferred part of its troops and was indeed not ready.

But it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that Guo Jia has already made up his mind.

Sun Ce didn't expect it to be so easy to break through, and he didn't doubt whether there was fraud at all, but he was more worried about Zhou Yu's situation, because after many confirmations, Sun Ce had to believe that this source was correct.

In fact, this can't be blamed for Sun Ce's uselessness and his inadequacy, this kind of intrigue is not his forte, and Zhang Hong is better at poetry and calligraphy than Zhang Zhao, and like Zhang Zhao, he was a master of internal affairs in Soochow at that time. The main reason is that Guo Jia did too well in this matter, after blocking the defense line, the direct consequence was that the news could not be transmitted correctly to Runan City, and several contact personnel were also arrested. If it weren't for the other party's self-harm on the spot, maybe they would have dug up the whereabouts of Zhou Yu's army. Despite this, he also successfully cut off contact with Sun Ce.

Sun Ce led a team of 3,000 cavalry to rush to the forefront, followed closely by 7,000 infantry on both sides, in the shape of a triangular cone, extremely sharp.

Xu Huang pretended to command the soldiers to defend at first, but later he simply stopped doing it and began to let the soldiers retreat.

And Sun Ce didn't have the heart to chase after him, and after breaking through the Jiangdong Army's defensive line, he immediately asked the soldiers to evacuate and run in the direction of Yangquan.

Guo Jia, surrounded by soldiers, stood on a hill not far away, looking at the long line of torches that were gradually moving away from the corner of his eyes, and chatting and laughing with Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu exclaimed: "Sure enough, as expected by the military advisor, Sun Cezhi went to such a disease, but he was afraid that he would die faster." ”

Guo Jia smiled and shook his hand and said: "Zhongde still doesn't understand the mind of the lord, if Sun Ce wanted to die, he would have been cut down with a knife back then. ”

Cheng Yu was surprised: "Does the lord still want to recruit Sun Ce to his command?" ”

Guo Jia nodded.

Cheng Yu gasped and said, "Sun Ce is like a tiger in the mountains, he is used to the status of an overlord, where will he be subservient?" Even if you really surrender, I'm afraid that you will keep a tiger in your body, and you don't know when you will be bitten back. ”

Guo Jia disagreed: "This is not necessarily, I have heard for a long time that Sun Ce is magnanimous and elegant, open-minded and generous, and I know how to repay the kindness, I think my lord explained Sun Ce the previous time, and then made three chapters of the law, if he wins again this time, it is also possible." ”

Cheng Yu still said with a skeptical attitude: "A few days ago, when the lord captured Xiyang City, he didn't kill his own brother Sun Yi, how could Sun Ce not remember this hatred?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, Sun Yi died in battle, I'm afraid that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will not escape their guilt, and Sun Yi and Sun Ce don't agree with everyone." When Sun Jian died in battle, the two fought for succession, and they fought openly and secretly. It's not going to be a problem. ”

Cheng Yu moved his mouth, although he felt that his surname might not be big, but he couldn't find any reason to refute it for a while.

Guo Jia understood and suddenly said mysteriously: "Zhongde, don't forget that Sun Ce is a well-known filial son." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Yu immediately understood what Guo Jia meant, and said with his eyebrows: "Sun Ce's family is in Runan, as long as you hold them at that time, you don't believe that Sun Ce is not obedient." ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Also, the lord has sent someone Xingyue to Liyang to invite the two of them." ”

Cheng Yu's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Could it be Sun Cecong's brother Sun Ben and his uncle Wu Jing?" ”

Guo Jia laughed and said, "It's the two of them." ”

Cheng Yu clapped his hands and shouted: "This matter can be decided." Sun Ben has a deep relationship with Sun Ce, Wu Jing is very kind to Sun Ce, and his mother is even more obedient to Wu Jing. ”

Guo Jia said proudly: "When the time comes, the lord will have one more powerful general." ”

Cheng Yu said happily: "Far more than this, Sun Ce's subordinates have a lot of capable people, Zhou Yu, who is highly respected by the lord, and Lu Su, the new Cai guard, are all proficient in the art of war, and Huang Gai and Cheng Pu are even more brave in the three armies. ”

Just as the two were talking happily, a soldier came up and reported: "Military advisor, Sun Ce is running towards Xincai according to the expected route, and has entered the ambush point. ”

Guo Jia nodded in understanding and waved the soldier back.

Cheng Yu suddenly said a little worried at this time: "Military Master, will this plan be too poisonous, I'm afraid that Sun Ce won't be able to survive this." In case of death, all plans will be in vain. ”

Guo Jia looked up at the bright starry sky, the moonlight was like water, and the sky was shining, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Zhongde." ”

The autumn night is breezy and refreshing.

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Military advisor, go back, we should start preparing to take Runan City." ”

Guo Jia nodded with a smile, and a group of people slowly disappeared into the night.

Xu Huang had already begun to organize the defeated soldiers and was ready to counterattack.

Sun Ce took away 10,000 troops, and it is estimated that there are about 10,000 soldiers in Runan City, and the guard is Zhang Hong.

But this is not a problem, as long as Sun Ce is deceived out of the city, the overall situation is basically decided.

Xu Huang nervously assigned all tasks.

The upstream water diversion is nearing the end, and the Runan moat is gradually drying up, and now it is only waiting for Xu Huang's order, and then burying the moat with a sandbag on his back, using the strange soldier "digging army", secretly sneaking into the city, and taking Runan City in one fell swoop.

Sun Ce didn't have time to taste the taste of victory, so he marched in a hurry overnight. At this time, the sky had slowly appeared white, and the tired expressions on the soldiers' faces were clear at a glance, but Sun Ce did not relax, and still urged the army to advance with all its might.

At this time, two intersections appeared in front of Sun Ce, an official road and a small road. The official road is flat, but the distance is a little farther; The trail, while rare, is a shortcut, and the trip can be cut in almost half.

Sun Ce almost didn't think about it, so he chose the path.

The path was fine at first, but it became more and more difficult to walk behind, not only was the road rugged, but also the sides were full of thorns, the reeds were three feet high, overgrown with weeds, and the autumn was dry, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel a little troubled.

A gust of autumn wind blew, and the reeds swayed from side to side, making a "rustling" sound.

Huang Gai saw that the situation was not right, and rushed to Sun Ce's side, and said urgently: "Lord, this place is called "Bailing Slope", the terrain is long and narrow, and the two sides are overgrown with weeds. ”

Huang Gai, the word is public, Linglingquan has zero people, eight feet long, the face of the country, just after the year of confusion, white beard and white eyebrows, two temples frost, eight feet long, wearing thick armor, very powerful, like a lion. He is strict and resolute, and he is good at raising people, resourceful and decisive, and good at knowing military opportunities. He was a famous general in the Soochow era.

Sun Ce was concerned about it, and gave Huang Gai a little, like waking up from a dream, and it was really a bystander.

Sun Ce's face finally couldn't control the change again and again, and he immediately understood why he had such an uneasy feeling. It was an innate sense of danger, if he didn't care about Zhou Yu's confusion, Sun Ce would never have been careless to this point.

When Sun Ce decided to withdraw from the army, it was too late.

The reeds on both sides were already smoking, and thick smoke drifted everywhere, and then the fire began to spread in all directions.

Sun Ce tried to calm himself down, and commanded the soldiers to evacuate back and forth.

But he didn't expect a cannon to sound out, and a team of men and horses came out from the rear, leading two generals, who looked like twin brothers, with a gun and a knife, leading many people and horses, blocking the entrance and cutting off their retreat. It was Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang.

Sun Ce couldn't rush out for a while, and the two sides were extremely fierce, so in desperation, he could only lead people to rush forward.

The fire borrowed the power of the wind, the wind helped the fire, and the narrow jungle path began to burn at this time.

The rolling heat wave churned in, and Sun Ce's soldiers were like scorching; Another puff of smoke choked their tears.

There was a rush of war.

When the soldier reacted from his despair, he screamed uncontrollably.

At this time, Sun Ce's troops were in chaos. Screaming, scolding, shouting, crying dad and mother, mixed together. The soldiers crowded each other, the horses trampled on each other, and the scene was very chaotic. Many soldiers have sparks burning in them. Rolling on the ground in pain, the soldiers and horses crowded up behind them stepped mercilessly.

Sun Ce looked at the chaotic soldiers around him, and he was at a loss, and he panicked for a while. Then the anger burned, the green tendons on his neck swelled, and under the shining firelight, there was no trace of blood on his handsome face, and he was pale and terrifying. From this moment on, he began to despair, but he didn't expect that after several years of hard work, he still couldn't fight Zhang Lang.

Huang Gai saw Sun Ce slowly close his eyes, his heart was in a hurry, and he controlled the frightened horses under the seat with all his might, and shouted, "Lord, run away." ”

Sun Ce stared blankly at the care on Huang Gai's vicissitudes of life, and the whole person was stupid.

The fire has spread everywhere without any scruples, and the flames are several feet high under the impetus of the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it has become a sea of fire.

The soldiers screamed in pain, screamed helplessly, and some even fled in all directions, looking for a way out.

Huang Gai's silver hair fluttered, gritting his teeth and slapping Sun Ce's horse's buttocks, the horse that was already frightened was stimulated by external forces, let go of its four hooves, and galloped all the way down.

And Huang Gai followed closely behind.

As time went on, the fire intensified rather than lessened. Within a radius of several miles, thick smoke billowed and flames towered into the sky. In this fire, Sun Ce's most elite troops suffered heavy casualties, losing at least half of their combat effectiveness, and those who were able to escape were almost all with various burns, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

However, it's not over yet.

When the soldiers who had escaped death suddenly found a small river in front of them, they shouted excitedly, and jumped into the water one by one, trying to eliminate the burning sensation on their bodies, and some even worse, took off their armor.

Just as they were celebrating the endless road of the sky, there was an earth-shattering drum beat from all directions, and then the Jiangdong army poured out from the mountains and fields on both sides like a tide.

Sun Ce's army was caught off guard and a large number of people were killed on the spot. Blood stained the river red, and corpses floated on the water.

From the left side came Gao Shun, who was holding a famous weapon "trapped", he was wearing thick leather armor, and his wife Zhang Chu led 3,000 soldiers and horses.

The old Yuan Shao's generals Li Feng and Qiao Rui also led 3,000 soldiers and slaughtered diagonally from the right path.

Sun Cejun's morale had already been in turmoil, and their morale had fallen to the bottom, and as soon as the two armies clashed, a large area fell, and more of them scattered and fled.

Gao Shun rushed left and right, and his sharp eyes suddenly shouted: "Sun Ce, where to run." ”

The generals were in high spirits and rushed in the direction of Gaoshun.

No matter how strong Sun Ce's martial arts are, he rushed out of the flames, his handsome face was like black charcoal, and his clothes and armor were scorched.

Seeing that Gao Shun was about to catch up, Huang Gai, one of Sun Jian's three relict generals, stepped forward at this time and led hundreds of people to the death.

Gao Shun sneered twice, commanding the "trapped camp" to constantly impact the enemy, and he himself took the "trapped camp" to fight Huang Gai.

Huang Gai was in good spirits, and the famous weapon "Fire Iron Whip" in his hand, and a move "Wild Horse Mane" came to fight Gao Shun and his wife.

Gao Shun and his wife didn't care about the morality of the rivers and lakes, and the two fought against Huang Gai.

Huang Gai may not lose much in a heads-up, but shouting that the husband and wife are fighting each other, the power is boundless. Huang Gai is brave, but he can't be matched.

After 30 rounds of back and forth, Huang Gai not only couldn't repel his opponent, but was firmly trapped and couldn't get out.

Gao Shun saw that Huang Gai's age was not much related to him, but he had silver hair and white beard, and he was amazed in his heart, and saw that the iron whip in his hand was extremely domineering, so he couldn't help but jump back, and immediately shouted: "Who is coming?" ”

Huang Gai whipped the willow leaves, repelled Zhang Chu's attack, and responded: "I am Huang Gai." ”

Gao Shun praised: "Heroes too." ”

Huang Gai didn't speak, and fought Zhang Chu viciously.

Gao Shun didn't interject either, and joked on the side: "Huang Gai, you better surrender to my lord as soon as possible, I see that your force is not weak, it is for a rare talent, and it is a pity to kill you today." ”

Huang Gai said angrily: "The traitor is so ashamed, if you want Huang Gai to surrender, first ask me if I agree with the "Fire Iron Whip" in my hand. ”

Gao Shun watched coldly, and sure enough, under his ulterior motives, Huang Gai was dual-minded, and the result was that Zhang Chu attacked again and again, forcing his hands to be in a hurry, defending more than attacking. At this time, Gao Shun saw the opportunity, urged the horse to go up, and "trapped" like a flying dragon going out to sea, hanging directly on the antelope horn.

Huang Gai was shocked, he didn't expect Gao Shun to come so fast, seeing that the "trap" was about to break through the armor, Huang Gai could only move his body immediately, although he flashed the "trapped" fatal blow, but was kicked off the horse by Zhang Chufei.

Huang Gai turned over twice in a row, and just wanted to get up, but saw that Gao Shun's bright head was less than two inches from his throat.

Huang Gai froze.

At this time, the soldiers on the side rushed up, and immediately pressed Huang Gai to the ground and tied up the five flowers.
