The morale of Sun Quan's subordinates was frustrated, especially the death of Ji Ling, which seriously affected the morale of the army.

The Jiangdong soldiers desperately fled, while the Cao army chased after them for several miles, and in a blink of an eye, they chased to the south gate area of Shouchun.

At this time, Jiangdong reinforcements suddenly appeared in the southwest.

Zhang Liao and Cao Chun immediately adjusted their strategies to close the battle line, and tried to restore the initial formation as much as possible, so as not to be divided and surrounded by the enemy.

No matter how good the equipment is, it can't defend against all the weapons, and no matter how brave the soldiers are, they will get tired after fighting for a long time.

The three thousand elite soldiers in the era of cold weapons can't be as non-stop as a perpetual motion machine, Zhang Liao and Cao Chun are here to relieve the siege for Shouchun today, they have never thought of annihilating the opponent, that is neither realistic nor wise.

The reason why Zhang Liao had a chance not to enter the city was because Xiahou Yuan led his troops to make a detour to Shaobei, and entering the city at this time would put Xiahou Yuan in danger, so they had to fight as hard as they could.

Fortunately, at the same time as Jiangdong increased the troops, Xiahoudun also led 2,000 defenders out of the city to reinforce, although the combat effectiveness of the Tuntian soldiers was relatively poor, but in the face of the demoralized enemy, it was not far behind.

Xiahoudun and Zhang Liao acted as if they were acting according to the script, directing their respective troops to move closer to the middle, and they both thought that if they joined forces in one place, they could attack or retreat.

Sun Quan retreated to the south of Shouchun City in a panic, and was greeted by Lu Mian and Deng Dang, who rushed to support.

Seeing that Xu Kun was not among them, Sun Quan frowned and asked Deng Dang: "Didn't I receive my order?" Why did you bring troops to help, where are General Xu and the rest of the soldiers and horses? ”

Deng Dang clenched his fists and replied: "Half an hour ago, the Shaobi dock was attacked by Cao's army, General Xu got the news and immediately stopped the siege, and personally led a group of soldiers and horses to the rescue, and at the same time ordered us to lead troops to reinforce the lord."

"There is a sneak attack by Cao Jun in Shaobei?"

Sun Quan's eyes widened in shock, and his face was full of incredulity.

Without waiting for Deng Dang to answer, the strategist Zhang Hong also hurriedly asked: "Where did Cao Jun come from?" How many people are there? ”

"Uh," Deng Dang shook his head and replied, "I don't know the specific situation, I only heard that a few grain ships were burned."

"Shouchun is surrounded by our people, and even Huaishui has our warships, so it stands to reason that no soldiers and horses can be silent."

When Zhang Hong was talking to himself and analyzing, he suddenly thought of a terrible answer, so he hurriedly reminded Sun Quan: "Lord, I seem to understand why Zhang Liao is marching slowly, he deliberately attracted our attention in order to cover the Cao army that attacked Shaobei"

Sun Quan was speechless after hearing this, what's the use of reminding me now? He ignored Zhang Hong's afterthought, but asked Lu Mian: "How many people did you bring here?" ”

Lu Mian replied truthfully: "The wounded soldiers of the siege are resting in the camp, and we have brought more than 8,000 soldiers here."

"Very good." Sun Quan stabilized his mind and instructed Lu Mian and Deng Dang: "Zhang Liao's people are well-equipped, we suffered a big loss just now, and now the morale is low and it is difficult to fight, you quickly lead the troops to block the pursuers, the enemy army has chased so far with armor, it should be very tired"

"Yui." Lu Mian and Deng Dang clasped their fists in unison.

"That's right, General Lu."

"The lord still has orders?"

Sun Quan stopped Lu Mian and reminded: "General Ji Ling was brave just now, but he was killed by Zhang Liao because he was outnumbered, you should be careful."

"General Ji, he." Lu Mian's eyes were blood-red, and then he replied with a fist: "The last general can save it, thank you lord."

The two said goodbye to Sun Quan, immediately went to greet the soldiers under their command, and inserted from the left and right flanks of the defeated army at the same time, replacing the defeated army to stabilize the situation of escape.

With the addition of the new force, Jiangdong relied on the strength of the number of people and once again fought on a par with the Cao army.

Ascending to the heights and looking at it, Sun Quan's previously pale face finally became a little bloody.

He obviously had 10,000 soldiers, but he was chased by Zhang Liao's 3,000 people.

Sun Quan's evil breath must come out, seeing that the rout on the battlefield has stopped, he decided to pay some more price and also wipe out all the Cao army in front of him.

As long as he can eliminate his opponent and kill Zhang Liao, the humiliation just now will no longer exist.

Knowing that Xu Kun had gone to ask for help in Shaobei, Sun Quan flawlessly cared about where the Cao army, who burned the ship, came from, and he was ready to ask the soldiers in charge of guarding the sentry for dereliction of duty one by one after the war.

"The right flank of Cao's army seems." Sun Quan pointed ahead and muttered to himself, as if he saw the other party's weakness.

"The Lord's eyes are like torches." Zhang Hong praised first and then observed, he complimented and looked at Sun Quan's finger with confidence, and then exclaimed: "Why has Zhang Liao's military array increased?" Do they have reinforcements too? ”

Sun Quan glanced at Zhang Hong, and said in his heart that if you say a few more words before the war, I will not bear the joke at this moment, Zhang Hong did not have a nutritious compliment, and it did not make Sun feel happy.

Zhang Hong's question was not answered, and he seemed to be asking a question about loneliness just now, which made the scene a little embarrassing for a while.

When it was silent, Zhou Tai came to the hill with a horse, and said to Sun Quan with his fists: "My lord, Xiahoudun led the defenders out of the city, and gathered on Zhang Liao's right flank at this moment. ”

"How dare that blind man go out of the city?" Sun Quan's eyes widened angrily, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The Shouchun defenders are tired and hungry, how can they have the spare strength to fight at this time?" No wonder the enemy's right flank is very abnormal, it turns out that General Perfect is fooling around. ”

Zhang Hong saw the stitches and said, "Lord, do you want to send someone to remind Lu and Deng Erjun"

Sun Quan was noncommittal, and looked at Zhou Tai with a serious face: "Xiahoudun took the initiative to go out of the city to find death, just to use other people's heads to boost morale, and Youping quickly went to order all the departments to quickly reorganize the army and detour to Zhang Liao's right flank, and I will kill them together." ”

"Yui."

Watching Zhou Taili turn around, Sun Quanxin said that I can't beat Zhang Liao, and I can't beat Xiahoudun who is a fox and a fake tiger?

Don't say that I bullied the blind, who made you Cao Cao's person.

Not long after, Sun Quan personally led the army to assault Xiahoudun's department, and the hungry Tuntian soldiers instantly felt pressure, and originally wanted to take Zhang Liao's Dongfeng mixed point to assist, but they didn't expect to be targeted by Sun Quan, who was eager for revenge.

There were changes on the battlefield, and Zhang Liao also responded immediately.

Due to the good mobility of the tiger and leopard riders, Zhang Liao asked Cao Chun to move to the right side of Xiahoudun, so that Xiahoudun, who was originally on the right flank, was protected by Zhang Liao and Cao Chun in the center.

Temporary transfers on the battlefield are a great test of the general's ability to command.

At that time, the battlefield was like marking and blocking on the basketball court, when Cao Chun led his troops to start 'moving and running', Zhang Liao ordered the soldiers of his headquarters to 'fill in the position and move'.

Cao Jun suddenly changed formation, which caught the opponent off guard, and the opponents who were 'marking' were all moving, but only Jiangdong's formation was messy, and the generals on both sides made a judgment with high command.

After a period of chaotic positioning, Cao Jun formed a formation with Xiahoudun in the center, Zhang Liao and Cao Chun in an inverted 'product' formation on the left and right.

Sun Quan chased the Tuntian soldiers and pinched the soft persimmons, but after the adjustment, he was in the front position in the middle of the military formation, but it became difficult to take advantage at this time, because Xiahoudun's corps was in the back and would be attacked by Zhang Liao and Cao Chun at the same time.

After the adjustment of the formation, the original strength advantage of Jiangdong was lost due to the chaotic position of each department, allowing Cao Jun to seize the opportunity again.
