Chapter Thirty-Six: Ambushes Rise
After this battle, Liu Xun's name completely resounded in every corner of Lujiang County. Although Jiangdong is still in trouble, but Liu Xun's image of wisdom and martial arts has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Lujiang soldiers, since they can defeat the Jiangdong soldiers once, then they can defeat them a second time, the soldiers all thought so.
But in the Taishou Mansion
"What the hell are you thinking about stupid big guys!"
Liu Xun said angrily, "At that critical moment, I was actually trapped in the mansion, how could there be a master at home in the war?" I trained you too! Why don't you let me go! Tell me about it! If you don't give me a reason today, we're not done! ”
Wang Hao drooped his head, and thought aggrievedly in his heart, I'm not doing this for your safety。。。。。。
Looking at Wang Hao's honest appearance, Liu Xun really had no choice but to pout and say helplessly:
"Next time, we'll see how I clean you up."
"If"
"Go and pass my order, let Gan Ning bring 10,000 elite soldiers to attack Sun Ce's ambush, and when the time comes, fight with Huang Xing on both sides and don't let them go."
"Lord, General Gan has already chased and killed Sun Ce all the way, why don't you let someone else lead troops to fight Huang Xing to attack the ambush of the Jiangdong Army?" Wang Hao reminded loudly
"That Sun Ce's main army has been disabled by us, and the remnants of his army are less than two thousand, at this time, we must give priority to solving the ambush of the Jiangdong Army, they are a new force, in case they receive the news and come to support, it will be troublesome. Only Gan Ning can take on this great task in the army, and as for Sun Ce, let Ben Taishou personally come forward to solve him. Just in case, we took a small road to chase and kill Sun Ce's remnants. ”
"If"
。。。。。。
Talking about Maling.
Zhu Sanjing, the commander of the thousand, was naked, revealing a bulging body of Jianzi meat, threw a large bundle of hay into the artemisia grass on the side of the road, and shouted to Deng Qiang with some unhappiness: "Brother Qiang, the brothers have been busy for a long time, and they have been mowing grass here, and we don't feed the pigs, do we cut so much grass?" If you don't fight, you can't kill the Jiangdong Army.
Deng Qiang's eyes flashed a trace of awe, although the Lujiang soldiers were strictly trained, they had not yet experienced the real big battles, so the tolerance for the cruelty of war and death was limited, at this time, we must try to avoid fighting hard with the Jiangdong army, so the lord must find ways to use strange tricks to deal with the officers and soldiers.
The lord said that only by experiencing more victories can the confidence of the soldiers be cultivated, and the psychological advantage of the strong army can be established in their hearts. However, by no means now.
Deng Qiang snorted coldly and asked, "Old Zhu, do you think that mowing grass has nothing to do with fighting?" ”
"Uh, this ......" Zhu San scratched his head and asked incomprehensibly, "Does it matter?" ”
"Of course." Deng Qiang smiled coldly and decided to give this reckless man a tactical lesson, in fact, Deng Qiang didn't understand it very well. He himself was still taught by the lord when he came, but this did not prevent him from pretending to be forced in front of Zhu San.
He pointed to the gentle slope in front of him and said, "Maling is the only way for the Jiangdong army to lead to Jiangdong, and if the Jiangdong army is defeated and retreats, it will definitely pass through here." ”
Zhu San nodded, this is easy to understand.
Deng Qiang's face flashed a trace of hideousness, and he said in a deep voice: "The terrain here is gentle, artemisia grass is thick, there are gentle slopes on three sides, and only the south is a swamp. Now it is the autumn and winter season, the sky is dry and the matter is dry, the grass and trees are dry and yellow, and it is very easy to burn, if our army sets fire from the east, west, and north at the same time, and the fire spreads from all sides to the middle, the Jiangdong army will have no choice but to retreat to the south. When the time comes, we will ambush 2,000 archers, and in the south, then Sun Ce will not be able to escape. Lao Zhu did what I originally instructed, hurry up and prepare! It is estimated that Sun Ce is about to be defeated and retreat. ”
Because he believed that since he had been expected by the lord, Sun Ce would come to attack Lujiang County. Then on the premise of knowing the situation, as long as you are not too stupid, you will definitely be able to defeat the Jiangdong Army.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a spy to report that Sun Ce and his Jiangdong army had been defeated and fled, and at this moment, Sun Ce was leading less than 3,000 remnants of the defeated army to rush here.
Deng Qiang, who got the news, was immediately overjoyed, "Okay, the lord is really wise and martial, even a fierce man like Sun Ce was easily cleaned up by this lord, and the people who came quickly got ready." ”
"If"
。。。。。。
"Hurry, hurry, keep up behind, don't fall behind."
"The front army continues to advance at a rapid pace, and do not stop."
Sun Ce rode on his horse and kept urging his soldiers to speed up the march.
The soldiers wiped the sweat on their cheeks with their sleeves, looked at Sun Ce's mount under his crotch with envy, and someone complained bitterly: "General Sun, take a moment of rest, the villain is really weak, whew, he really can't walk." ”
"No, I can't exhaust it!" Sun Ce flatly refused, "The Lujiang soldiers may catch up at any time, and they must flee before they chase them." ”
The soldier said with a bitter face: "General Sun, like such a rapid march, even if we can run away before the pursuers arrive, in case there are ambushes in front, we are afraid that we will not have the strength to fight, so it will be disadvantageous." It's better to rest for the time being, and then slowly move forward when you have enough energy. ”
Sun Ce glanced at the soldier with disdain, and shouted, "What do you know, even a small soldier dares to talk about military affairs?" Don't you smell the momentum of one blow, and then decline, and then exhaust it? The officers and men of the whole army listened to the order, and they must not be slack, and they must withdraw from Lujiang County in one go, and they will definitely be rewarded after fleeing from this place. The soldier's face turned red at once, and his little eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, so he had to drag his tired legs and continue on his way.
Less than three miles further, the whole army drove into a gentle slope overgrown with artemisia grass, Sun Ce frowned and was about to stop the march, when the corner of his eye suddenly swept to see a swampy wetland in the south, coupled with the gentle terrain of this gentle slope and a wide field of vision, which was not conducive to setting up ambushes, he was relieved, and asked Zhou Yu with a relaxed expression: "Gongjin, where is this?" ”
Zhou Yu Zhengse said: "Bo Fu, this place is called Maling, you can escape from Lujiang County in the first twenty miles."
Sun Ce's expression perked up, and he waved his horsewhip and said loudly: "The three armies listen to the order, and the exit is twenty miles ahead to escape, speed up the march!" ”
……
On the top of a small hill not far to the north, Deng Qiang waved his hand lightly, and as soon as the hands of the two soldiers behind him loosened, a lone pine that could be supported fell down violently, and a small leader with strong arms opened his bow and arrows, and in a creaking sound, the strong bow had been drawn into a full moon shape.
Seeing the lone pine on the top of the hill on the north side falling, the soldiers on the east side and the soldiers on the west side pulled their bows and arrows at the same time, and some soldiers had already pulled out the matches that were inserted in the ashes, and put them together on the arrows coated with lamp oil, and the arrows burned on the ground, and then the hands were loosened, and the bows buzzed, and the arrows with fire had been shot in the air.
……
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
