CHAPTER XIX
Huang Gai was captured alive, Sun Ce didn't know, he just took dozens of personal guards, his expression was confused, and he fled aimlessly, the whole person was like a lost dog, extremely embarrassed. There is a family difference between Zhang Lang's heroic spirit when Zhang Lang captured Shouchun.
I don't know how long I ran, but gradually Sun Ce slowed down the speed of the horse's hooves, and at this time the mount was already foaming at the mouth, and it was about to fall to the ground softly several times. This night's marching, fierce fighting, and fleeing, not to mention the horses, the soldiers under his command have already reached the verge of collapse, and even Sun Ce feels dizzy and exhausted, and he no longer has a demeanor.
At this time, a soldier exclaimed: "Lord, the situation is not good, there seems to be an enemy flag on the hill ahead?" ”
Sun Ce looked up in surprise, only to find that he and the soldiers didn't know when they would set foot on the official road again. And on the checkpoint not far away, there are countless bright flags floating, and the colors are obviously not square. Sun Ce's face was like earth, and his originally godless eyes became even darker, and he said: "This place is close to Haiyang, and there must be Zhang Lang's defense sentry ahead." ”
At this time, another soldier said with joy on his face: "My lord, there is a fork in the road here. ”
Sun Ce shuddered, is it a small road again? Will there be ambushes?
It seems that Sun Ce has already given Guo Jia a fire to be afraid.
Sun Ce thought hard, if he went down the official road now, needless to say, he would definitely confront Zhang Langjun head-on, and with the state of his army, he would undoubtedly hit a stone with an egg and find a way to die. If you retreat, you're worried that the pursuers behind you will come up.
Sun Ce couldn't make up his mind for a while, and lowered his head in confusion.
If Zhou Yu was here, he would definitely have a way, Sun Ce thought in reverie.
At this time, a soldier climbed up from behind, holding his head and running a mouse, panting, "My lord, the enemy is catching up from behind." ”
The autumn leaves next to it, as if they also felt something, drifted down one by one.
Sun Ce was cold from head to toe, and his ears seemed to hear the sound of iron hooves stomping on the ground and thousands of thunders rushing all of a sudden; It was as if I felt the earth tremble unnaturally.
Did you catch up? Sun Ce looked at his subordinates helplessly, what should I do now? He thought to himself, frustrated. Without Zhou Yu and Lu Su, now there is no one who can negotiate and come up with a solution, looking at the soldiers under him looking at him in horror, Sun Ce sighed in his heart: That's it. He turned his heart sideways and ordered the soldier to leave from another fork in the road, and at this point, there was only one risk.
Although Sun Ce made a decision, when he was on the road, he always felt worried and restless, as if something big had happened.
It didn't take long for Sun Ce's feeling to finally confirm his wrong choice.
On the rugged path, Sun Ce and his soldiers finally crossed a ravine and turned another corner after a lot of hard work. At this time, the front suddenly opened up, and a path stretched to the end, and then it was blocked by a series of mountains, with countless slopes and mountains on both sides.
Sun Ce was overjoyed, as long as he entered the mountain range, took advantage of the cover of the mountain, and hid himself, it would be impossible for the enemy army to chase after him.
But before Sun Ce could finish his joy, his soldiers shouted in pain: "It's over." ”
Sun Ce glanced at the soldier strangely, but the soldier stared at the right side and froze.
Sun Ce looked at it, and suddenly found that a column of people and horses slowly walked out of the dense forest on the right, and then blocked the middle of the path.
The bright flag fluttered in the wind, with a "yellow" character written on it, vigorous and powerful, like a dragon flying.
The leader is a young general in a brocade robe, with clear eyebrows and a somewhat thin figure, but he is holding a pear blossom knife in his hand.
Followed by a dense group of soldiers, seeing that they were brightly dressed and full of energy, Sun Ce knew that this group of men and horses had been waiting for him here for a long time.
Sun Ce's mind went blank for a moment.
There is an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to fly.
Huang Xu took the lead, the pear flower knife pointed at Sun Ce, and said coldly: "Sun Ce, Huang Xu has been waiting here for a long time under the order of the military advisor, you are still obediently tied up, maybe I can say a few kind words for you in front of the military advisor to save your life." ”
Although Sun Ce was down, his bones were still strong, and he replied sharply: "What is the joy of life, and what is the fear of death." Sun Ce has never taken it to heart, and with you, an unknown character, if you want to keep General Ben, you have to weigh your own ability. ”
Huang Xu snorted, and hit mercilessly: "If you are in normal times, of course Sun Bofu comes and goes freely, and there is nothing you can do in the future, but now, I don't believe that you can still escape from the ascension to heaven, are you really three heads and six arms?" ”
After Huang Xu said this, he stopped being verbose, waved his hand, and the army rushed up. At the same time, he shouted: "Can't you people still see the current form? Surrender without killing. ”
Sun Ce soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are full of helplessness.
Sun Ce originally wanted to motivate the soldiers to fight for the last time, but at this time, Huang Xu said coldly: "Sun Ce, do you still want to trap the beast and fight?" Do you still want your soldiers to die in vain? If you're a smart person, you should lay down your weapons, so you and your soldiers might have a way out. Otherwise, not only will you die today, but even your soldiers will have to pay with their lives for your actions. You can do nothing, but don't you have a high hall and no children? How many more people are you going to do? ”
Huang Xu's words hit Sun Ce's vital point on the spot, and even his soldiers seemed to be aroused by homesickness, and they were all worried. Originally, Sun Ce was an extremely affectionate person, otherwise he would not have been carried away by hearing that Zhou Yu had an accident, and then fell for Guo Jia's strategy. Now that Huang Xuyi said it, his position began to waver.
Sun Ce looked at his brothers who had been born and died with him, their faces were sad, their morale was low, and they no longer had the ability to fight. Sun Ce forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart, tried his best to use a calm tone, and said, "Brothers, Sun Ce is too selfish, and he has tired you again. ”
None of the soldiers spoke, just bowed their heads.
Sun Ce was disheartened for a while, there was no hope in his chest, he raised his head and stared at Huang Xu, and said lightly: "Huang Xu, do you dare to fight with me?" If I win, I hope you can let my men go, and Sun Ce will kill you or follow you; If Sun Ce is defeated, then there is no need to say anything. You can do whatever you want. ”
Huang Xu said coldly: "You are no longer qualified to challenge me. ”
Sun Ce said angrily: "Are you afraid? ”
Huang Xu stepped out and said with a long smile: "If usual, Huang Xuzi is very much looking forward to a fight, but at this moment, he doesn't have to fight to know who wins or loses." ”
Sun Ce laughed angrily and said, "What an arrogant tone. ”
Huang Xuli danced with a knife, and then immediately said: "Sun Ce, although you are an opponent, I respect you as a hero, okay, I will agree to your conditions." But don't rejoice too early, because I will win in the end. ”
Sun Ce's teeth were gritted loudly, when had he been despised like this, and he was about to speak, but he saw Huang Xu shouting: "Come on, change the horse for Sun Ce." ”
Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and under the instinctive reflex, he looked down at the flower-maned horse that he loved, it was foaming at the mouth, and his eyes seemed to droop weakly, Sun Ce felt that he was a little shaky on it, and he wanted to come to the horse to hold on to the limit, and he couldn't stand his weight anymore, and he was about to fall.
Sun Ce was at a loss in his heart, the flower-maned horse was Sun Jian's legacy, and he loved it a lot, and now it was about to come to an end.
Huang Xu waited quietly for Sun Ce to change horses. Then he said with starry eyes: "Sun Ce, this battle between you and me could have been saved, but I respect you as a hero, and Huang Xu is also ready to go back and scold the lord, so let's give it a go." ”
Sun Ce has a wolf gun in his hand, and the horse seat under the seat is powerful and unrestrained, and the whole person is in good spirits. began to urge the horse to rush over, and said loudly: "Be careful, Huang Xu." The spear slammed into the horse's assault and swooped down.
Huang Xu saw it in his eyes and shook his head secretly, if usually, this trick was used by Sun Ce, it would definitely be a thunderstorm, but now he is weak and lacking, no matter the technique or angle, he lacks any shortcomings. Although it still seems to be offensive and powerful, it obviously does not have Zhang Lang's hegemonic spirit. If Sun Ce had been in this state, he would have been nine out of ten, and there would be no problem at all.
Although Huang Xu despised it, he didn't dare to be careless, and the pear knife flower cut through the gap just right, breaking Sun Ce's offensive at once.
Sun Ce was not discouraged, and when the wrong horses intersected, he shot backhanded, which was quite threatening.
Huang Xu remembered that the military advisor was still waiting for his news, and he didn't let him go, the pear flower knife first set up the opponent's attack, and then without waiting for Sun Ce to change his moves, he slashed diagonally quickly, and his strength was very strong.
Sun Ce is like usual, there is no problem with dodging or setting up, but now he is obviously a little powerless, and he dodges and dodges left, and he is very embarrassed to escape Huang Xu's trick.
Huang Xu was unforgiving, and he succeeded in attacking again and again, forcing Sun Ce to be in a hurry and lose face.
Just when Huang Xuli was fighting Sun Ce, Guo Jia gathered his soldiers and began to prepare intensively to attack Runan City.
Soon after Sun Ce left, Xu Huang began to gather the soldiers, and then in a short time, he took out the prepared tools and commanded the soldiers to carry sandbags on their backs and forcibly fill the moat. And when the soldiers defending the city found out, they gave a fierce counterattack, and arrows flew straight down from the sky, and various tools for defending the city emerged in an endless stream of boiling water, boiling oil, and falling rocks.
The attacking troops were subjected to strong sniping, and Xu Huang organized two men, both of which were repulsed, and the progress of river reclamation was slow.
Xu Huang was furious, and immediately organized the third river reclamation mission, first ordered the deputy general to beat the drum and cheer, and then dressed lightly, carried a sandbag, and took the lead. Among them, there were countless arrows, and they forcibly rushed forward.
Xu Huang's actions greatly inspired the soldiers, and they all lifted their spirits, leaving life and death behind, and moving forward bravely with the master.
The drums of war are beating even harder. The shouting was even crazier.
Under Zhang Langjun's frantic counterattack, the Runan defenders began to be cowardly, and the timid ones had already anointed the soles of their feet.
Originally, with Sun Ce's departure, the Runan guards had no bottom in their hearts, but now that the enemy army has put on a strong attack, psychologically, they have been overwhelmed.
Under such a large formation, Zhang Hong became impatient, and the entire Runan City began to feel uneasy.
Despite this, Zhang Hong did not give up, he knew that once the enemy army was buried in the moat, it would be a matter of time before the city of Runan was broken.
Zhang Hong desperately commanded his soldiers to defend and counterattack, intending to control this watershed.
Although Sun Ce's soldiers worked hard, formally, they had begun to fall to Xu Huang's side.
The golden drums rang out in the sky, and the soldiers seemed to be screaming endlessly, and the night was stirred up in chaos.
Xu Huang attacked, and his soldiers walked like flying; And Guo Jia personally commanded the pressure formation, and the soldiers' confidence was greatly increased.
The Jiangdong soldiers trained hard for several years, and finally it was reflected in this battle.
Even with sandbags on their backs, the soldiers were swift and agile, and few were hit by stray arrows. Even if it fell, the soldiers behind it immediately came up, and in such a succession, it lasted three hours, and before dawn, Xu Huang led the soldiers and finally forcibly buried the moat.
At this time, on the far side of the mountain, black smoke filled the air, and the red light shone brightly, and many people saw this strange scene.
Cheng Yu was even more overjoyed and shouted: "Sun Ce is in a plan." ”
Zhang Hong also saw it, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart, plus he was buried by the enemy across the city, knowing that the general trend had gone, he burst into tears on the spot.
Seeing that Guo Jia had reached it, he immediately withdrew his troops, wanting to let his soldiers breathe. At the same time, prepare for the next wave of city capture.
Seeing that the enemy army did not come down in one go, Zhang Hong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the organization of a new defense line.
In the Chinese army village outside the city, Xu Huang was barechested, his strong muscles were exposed in the air, and his left arm was wrapped in white gauze, which was still oozing blood. It turned out that when Xu Huang was filling in the moat, he accidentally hit the opponent's arrow, but fortunately, the wound was not deep and there was no big problem. And this did not affect his mood, but smiled all over his face, and the two thick and thick eyebrows were tightly connected. With a large bowl of wine in his other hand, he drank it in one gulp.
Cheng Yu was full of admiration on the side, and sighed: "General Xu is the side and bravely takes the lead, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid that it would be difficult to complete the task so easily." ”
Xu Huang smiled modestly: "Mr. has won the award." ”
Guo Jia was calm on the side, and said with a smile: "Runan City has lost the last barrier, and Sun Ce is even more overlooked. Everything is under control, and now it is just waiting for Huang Xujie's report. ”
As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, a soldier came in and reported: "Report to the military division, general, General Huang Xu captured Sun Ce alive, and specially ordered his subordinates to come and report." ”
