Chapter 160: The shocked Sun Ce

Nearly two hundred fields, it seems far away, but in fact it is not too far.

According to the modern way people calculate, it is actually less than a hundred kilometers away.

The marching speed of the ancient foot soldiers was about fifty miles a day, and if they were lightly armed, the elite foot soldiers could even walk a hundred miles a day.

However, it was obvious that Yuan Yao did not use his warrior camp as livestock, and two hundred miles of land still allowed them to arrive in three days.

In three days, two hundred miles of travel, it can be regarded as no pressure.

The warrior battalion, under the leadership of Tai Shici, quickly rushed to Liyang County, and as soon as they arrived here, they quickly blocked the entire Liyang.

Originally, Yuan Yao's plan was to block this place for a few days, and when the army was together, he would directly attack the city and take the county seat with lightning speed.

But Yuan Yao still underestimated the momentum of his army.

As soon as the 3,000 soldiers and horses arrived in Liyang, there were only 300 guards in the city, and they were directly frightened, and they couldn't even organize an effective defense, so they directly abandoned the city and fled.

This is actually normal, the defenders on the Liyang side already knew as early as half a month ago that a group of thieves had come to Danyang County and were attacking the city.

After Sun Ce transferred some troops from here last time, there was already a lot of panic here.

Not only the defenders, but even the county commanders trembled, fearing that the thieves would come to knock on the city.

But it should have come, or it came, as soon as Tai Shici led the soldiers and horses outside this Liyang County, he had already alarmed the defenders of Liyang County.

The county magistrate of Liyang County was so frightened that he immediately abandoned the city and fled, without even the slightest hesitation.

After all, if the city is gone, at most it will lose its official position.

If you stick to the county seat, your life will be lost.

Under the trade-off, many county orders are the children of big families, and they naturally know how to choose.

What's more, in this place of Yangzhou, the county order is changed very diligently, and there are often Shanyue people who make trouble, and the county orders are used to running away, so naturally there will be no idea of sticking to it.

This also made Yuan Yao, who thought it would be a vicious battle in Liyang County, but it turned out to be extremely easy to capture.

After Liyang County got it, Yuan Yao was in a good mood.

Non-stop with people and horses, go straight to Changxing County.

As long as he gets the county seat of Changxing, Sun Ce's situation will be extremely difficult.

However, Changxing County is still a few days away from Yuan Yao's current location.

On his way to Changxing County with his army, Sun Ce, who was in Wanling County at the moment, finally received the news.

Yuan Yao left Danyang County with soldiers and horses, these days.

Sun Ce was not idle, since he joined the soldiers and horses in Wanling County, his command once had nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses.

Six thousand men was enough for him to do a lot of things.

He divided his men and horses into two lines and began a counterattack.

All the way to Moling County, the purpose was to attract the attention of the main forces of Yuan Yao, Zheng Bao and others.

The other part of the soldiers and horses went south to Jing County to subdue the county seat occupied by Zu Lang and others.

As long as Jing County and other places in the south were retracted, Wu Jing and the others would still control most of Danyang County, and the population of these counties would still be in Wu Jing's hands, so they could organize an effective defense line and gradually expel and exterminate Yuan Yao and Zheng Bao's men.

Sun Ben and Cheng Pu only brought 3,000 people, and in just a few days, they went down to the three cities in a row, and the fruits of victory were further expanded.

However, for a few days, Sun Ce led his soldiers and horses to attack Zheng Bao, but Zheng Bao did not come out, only held on to the city, and did not go out of the city to meet the battle.

For a few days, the two sides were in a stalemate, which made Sun Ce start to feel that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that Sun Ce only brought 3,000 people, and although Zheng Bao, Yuan Yao and others combined had greatly reduced their soldiers and horses, there were still thousands of people, and they still had an advantage in head-to-head combat.

But Zheng Bao couldn't hold on, and Yuan Yao never showed up, and he didn't see Yuan Yao for a few days, and Sun Ce was muttering, did Yuan Yao have left.

It's just that he can't enter the city, and his spies can't find out the specific news, which makes Sun Ce a little uncontrollable.

Sun Ce's subordinates did not have too many troops for the time being, and it was not easy to storm the county seat, so they could only present a stalemate, and only after the rear was resolved and the situation in Danyang County was stabilized, they could gather their troops and horses to fight with Zheng Bao.

Just when Sun Ce thought that he had restrained Yuan Yao's army here, a military horse came to Sun Ce's Chinese army tent quickly.

"Report! Lord, Wu County is urgent! ”

The war horse rushed directly into the barracks, and then quickly turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly rushed to Sun Ce's camp.

Sun Ce was in the barracks at the moment, training recruits.

There are more than 1,000 of these recruits, all of whom are young people recruited by Wu Jing in the vicinity in recent days, and under the shortage of troops, even if they are recruits, it doesn't matter, as long as they can be used, they can be trained for a few days, they can't go to the battlefield, scare and scare the enemy, and create some momentum.

However, with Sun Ce in charge of personal training, even if it is only half a month, it can bring some new vitality to these recruits.

The scout's shout naturally attracted Sun Ce's attention, and he stopped his activities and turned around to the periphery of the school field.

"What's going on?"

Hearing that it was Wu Jun's urgent report, Sun Ce's eyes were still full of joy.

He has been waiting here for so many days, just waiting for news from Wu County, as long as the war in Wu County is calmed down, then Han Dang can bring reinforcements to kill.

When the time comes, the matter of Danyang County can be solved.

At present, the urgent report from Wu County came, and Sun Ce thought that Han Dang had solved the Shanyue people who were making trouble.

Just as he was about to answer happily, what the scout said next made Sun Ce's face change greatly, and then his expression tightened.

"General, Zhang Changshi sent an urgent report, saying that a group of thieves suddenly appeared in Dantu County, attacked the town, and was approaching Wu County, please return to Wu County as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation!"

"What!"

Sun Ce's face changed and he was shocked.

Not only that, but the faces of the generals standing beside Sun Ce at this moment have changed drastically.

It was as if I had heard something unbelievable.

"There are thieves in Dantu County?!"

"Who is it, how many soldiers and horses, Xu Sheng, the county lieutenant of Dantu County? How is he? ”

Sun Ce threw out a series of questions, and the scout who asked was also hesitant at once, not knowing which one to answer first.

"According to Lord Changshi, the people who attacked Dantu County are likely to be Yuan Shu's men and horses, and the specific strength is not known for the time being, Xu Sheng of Dantu County led the army to fight, and the result was ...... Results ......"

"How's it going?"

"I was caught!"
