Chapter 39: Sun Ce's Determination
With Zhang Brown under pressure, he began to work hard, even if he took his own life at this moment, it didn't matter. If he really escaped Sun Ce today, it would be difficult for the lord to walk in the future.
Fortunately, they were ambushed on the spot, recuperating for a long time, and Sun Ce's physical strength also decreased greatly under the desperate rush all the way. Zhang Brown sent a team of superintendents behind him to urge, if anyone dared to slack off and be executed by military law on the spot, under the threat of military law, the speed of the Lujiang soldiers immediately became much faster, and they chased after Sun Ce little by little.
And at the moment in the Jiangdong Army
"The lord is not good, there are Lujiang soldiers in front of him blocking the way." It was the spies sent by Sun Ce who returned
Sun Ce, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Jiang Qin and others suddenly changed their faces when they heard this.
Jiang Qin said angrily: "With so many ambushes, it seems that this Liu Xun is bent on killing us." ”
Cheng Pu shouted: "Now it seems that I can only fight to the death." ”
Sun Ce saw that the enemy army in the rear was about to catch up, and his own soldiers, including himself, had been fighting for several battles, and had run such a long way one after another, they were all tired and paralyzed at this moment, and many people had long been unable to run. If you run forward, you will definitely be caught up by the pursuers, and there is an ambush ahead, and you will not be able to rush out in a short time, and the Jiangdong Army, which is tired from both sides, will not be an opponent at all.
Sun Ce was very helpless, and suddenly Sun Ce saw a small mountain in front of him, and rushed up without thinking much about it. He was going to rest here for a while, and he was ready to rest and wait for his work. When the Lujiang soldiers chased here, they found an opportunity to kill them by surprise.
When Zhang Brown came here, he didn't rush forward because he was afraid of being ambushed again. Seeing that it was already dark, he decided to surround the mountain first, and then sent someone to inform the lord quickly.
At this time, Liu Xun had actually taken a shortcut with a large team of people to follow. Although Sun Ce was tricked, he really didn't worry about the ability of his generals, and he was afraid that after Sun Ce ran away and returned to the mountain, the consequences would be unimaginable. After all, the shadow of the famous tree of the person, he was able to defeat him this time, and there was still a reason for the golden finger.
If he let him run away this time, he really doesn't have the confidence to beat him again without cheating.
Now that Sun Ce has a new understanding of him, it is impossible for him to be so light on the enemy in the future. So this time we must defeat him completely, and we can't give him any chance to escape.
When Liu Xun was pondering all the way, an attendant came to report, saying that there was a letter from General Zhang Brown's messenger. Liu Xun hurriedly summoned the messenger in to ask about the situation, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that he was fortunate that he had followed, and anxiously hurried forward.
On the mountain,
Although the Jiangdong soldiers on the top of the mountain were exhausted, they still maintained vigilance, and at this moment they were still calm in such a situation, and no one complained about anything, worthy of the elite soldiers of a hundred battles.
At this moment, there was no sound in the Jiangdong army, only the howling cold wind blew, blowing off the leaves on the treetops, and flying all over the sky. Jiangdong soldiers are very admirable to Sun Ce, in their career as a horse, they have never seen anyone like Sun Ce, tightly led less than 3,000 soldiers and horses but won a hundred battles in just a few years, almost the entire Jiangdong land, and they are bold, love soldiers like children, they admire and love him in their hearts, and they are naturally willing to give him their lives!
Although they have encountered such a dangerous situation now, they still firmly believe that Sun Ce can take them through the difficulties.
Sun Ce looked at it, the army had come in high spirits before, but at this moment, there were only more than a thousand people left. Looking at the soldiers who were still firm in their eyes, they were still the victorious army he was familiar with. Under the heartache, there is some comfort. Sun Ce, who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, naturally understands how difficult it is to rely on these thousands of troops to break out of the encirclement:
"I think I, Sun Ce, have been crisscrossing Jiangdong for several years, and no one can match me, but now I accidentally fell into the trap set by the dog thief Liu Xun. But Ben will never admit defeat, and he is even more unwilling to die in the hands of such a villain! ”
Sun Ce's unwilling roar grabbed everyone's hearts, yes, they don't want to die either, no one will want to die unless necessary!
"Do you believe I can take you out of the encirclement again?"
'We believe that the Lord will lead us to miracles,' the soldiers shouted.
Sun Ce took a long breath and finally said, "Okay, since you choose to believe me, I, Sun Ce, will naturally live up to the trust." Now seize the time to rest, recover your strength, wait for dawn, kill me down the mountain, take out the momentum of our Jiangdong army, kill those despicable Lujiang soldiers, and then return to our Jiangdong to make a comeback again and take revenge!"
"If!"
The Jiangdong soldiers responded with a shout, and their fighting spirit was rekindled in their eyes, as if victory was already beckoning to them. In addition to leaving the necessary people to guard and guard, most of the rest of the Jiangdong soldiers have already fallen asleep on the faint bonfire, and a little more rest will restore a little more physical strength, and there will be more hope for breaking through. Although Sun Ce said it lightly, he knew that if he really wanted to break out of the encirclement, he was afraid that he would not be so optimistic.
Even if you can break out of the encirclement, you still have to have enough physical strength to run away from the encirclement and interception of the Lujiang army.
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Jiang Qin and others rested for a long time, but they were completely sleepy, and they couldn't sleep at all. At this moment, seeing their own lord standing alone on the side of the mountain, they all stepped forward to stand with Sun Ce.
Sun Ce overlooked the movement of the Lujiang army at the foot of the mountain, although a few people were close at hand, they couldn't see their five fingers, and they couldn't see the expressions of several people clearly, it was the darkest time before dawn.
Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "The plan has changed, we can't wait until dawn to break through, wake up the brothers immediately, and go down the mountain immediately!" ”
Cheng Pu was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Sun Ce stretched out his hand and pointed to the firelight on the opposite mountain, and said in a deep voice: "You see, the opposite mountain is covered with the eyeliner of the Lujiang army, once the sky is bright, the eyeliner of the Lujiang army on the mountain can take a full view of our every move, once we take action, we can immediately report our movements to the Lujiang army under the mountain, and the Lujiang army under the mountain can concentrate its forces to prepare for the attack in advance. ”
Huang Gai looked into the distance, and the situation was really as Sun Ce said, Huang Gai lost his voice and said: "Lord, how should this be?" ”
Sun Ce said in a condensed voice: "Now is the darkest time in the sky, and it is also the time when the enemy army is the most tired, we can skip the torch and go down the mountain to break through while the sky is still dark!" ”
Then Sun Ce asked with concern, "Uncle, how is your injury?" ”
"It's just a skin injury, it's not in the way," Huang Gai said disapprerovingly
"That's good, be careful, don't let the wound become infected."
Jiang Qin said in a deep voice: "My lord, the mountain road is rugged and steep, and if you don't light a torch, it is easy to fall into the mountain stream and get injured. ”
Sun Ce said firmly: "Now that it is a desperate situation, where can I take care of this, I can let the brothers go down the mountain arm in arm to avoid stumbling." ”
