Chapter 113: Jiangdong Erjie
In the morning light, facing the rising sun, an army of about 3,000 or so was advancing towards Meiyang, and the front row of the team were all foot soldiers with shields and sharp blades.
As the brigade dragged forward, in the chaotic footsteps seemed to be mixed with the galloping sound of a lot of war horses, since it was the Qiang people to attack, the war horses must be indispensable, and soon when about five hundred cavalry guards appeared on the left and right of the team, it proved a statement.
The enemy came to the city of Meiyang, according to the past practice to stop at an arrow away, yesterday the enemy army scolded under the city all morning, not only did not hurt the Han people a cent, but their own side abolished the throats of two generals.
However, the Han army's love to answer did not make the border army lose confidence, and now the battle formation was just stable, and a rough man came out on horseback.
Watching the enemy army set up a position, compared to the ignorance of the Han army in the past, there is a feather fan pointing at them at the head of the city at this moment, maybe it is a finger, they are destined to suffer today.
"Is the prince going out to fight him? I can't take a few beats from his appearance" As Jiang Qi pointed, Sun Ce looked at the enemy army in front of him without fear, fearlessly.
"Gongtai, do you know who Qi remembered after listening to Ling Gongzi's words? Hundreds of years ago, there was a great hero in Jiangdong who regarded the people of the world as nothing, and now it seems that Ling Gongzi has his bravery" Facing Sun Ce's disapproval, Jiang Qi said with a smile.
"The prince joked about the overlord, how can the dog be γγγγ" Listening to the words, although Sun Jian, who is known for his bravery, is not very agile, he can also hear the praise and disparagement, and he immediately did not dare to call it.
"I heard that the enemy generals have been scolding here every day recently, and their words are unbearable, General Sun Xiao, why don't we compete today to see who can shout with one arrow to seal the throat, if you win this Hou Bao to promote you as a cavalry captain, if you lose and go home to study for three years" Regarding Sun Jian's caution, Jiang Qi didn't want to say much, and then returned to the topic.
"From here, the enemy will be more than one hundred and eighty paces, even if you use a strong crossbow, you can't shoot it, how can the prince and the prince tell the winner from this bet" Hearing the competition, Sun Ce looked at the enemy general who was sitting on horseback, and had already begun to insult and laugh at the enemy general, although the bet was very attractive, but he knew that he could not disobey him, so he could only shake his head.
"Then you mean, admit defeat," Jiang Qi said with a smile and shook his feather fan.
"As long as the prince can shoot, let alone seal the throat, it will make people fall, and Ce will admit defeat," Sun Ce proposed immediately, although he was young.
"Okay, then it's decided, how many available soldiers do you have under the public platform now" Glancing at Sun Ce's stubborn face, Jiang Qi smiled and readily agreed, and then asked Sun Jian.
"There are 2,000 soldiers under the city, and General Huangfu allocated 1,000 men and horses to be controlled by the public, and now there is no assembly in the city, the prince, the dog is just joking that the prince and the prince must not take it seriously, the enemy army is a trick to lure the enemy, don't be fooled" Jiang Qi asked about the strength, Sun Jian immediately thought of the possibility, and quickly said.
"In the words of Gongtai, at the moment, our two armies are fighting, and there is no way to confront each other like this, you have a strategy to break the enemy" For Sun Jian's reminder, how could Jiang Qi not know that as early as the beginning of the enemy's arrogant battle, he sent the eagle slave to let the white eagle find the enemy's traces, and at this moment, there may be tens of thousands of ambush soldiers in a hidden place ten miles away.
"The last general said, since the start of the war, the last general has been watching the enemy's situation, and finally found that there are many generals, although they have raised a side chapter as a general, but the decree is not unified at all, as long as our army grasps a characteristic to disrupt it in one fell swoop, when the enemy army is in chaos, it will be able to defeat it in one fell swoop" I didn't expect Jiang Qi to ask himself about the strategy of breaking the enemy, Sun Jian was surprised and hurriedly said what he thought.
Listening to his words, Jiang Qi looked at the burly man in front of him seriously, he didn't expect that Sun Jian was not only brave but also had some strategy, and he broke the key to breaking the enemy with a word, and then said in appreciation: "I didn't expect Gongtai to be a person who is both wise and brave, and it was too condescending to let you be a military Sima before, Sun Gongtai obeyed orders, and from now on, you will be my military member."
"The end, the end of the general to lead the orderγγγγ "What is the position of joining the military Sun Jian is very clear, at present, there are hundreds of 100,000 generals in Meiyang, compared to Sima of the Zuo Army, who commands more than 1,000 people, and can affect the strategic deployment of the military, it is completely a difference between heaven and earth, and Sun Jian is a little helpless in the excitement and leans over to receive the order.
"Get up, now your subordinates are stepping or riding" For the pie in the world, he was promoted to a senior general in one fell swoop, Sun Jian's excitement Jiang Qi also understood, and asked with a light smile and shook the feather fan to let him get up.
"Qiyu Junhou, Jiangdong Ma Shao Mo only has five hundred cavalry under his command, but the last general dares to guarantee that these soldiers are all elite, and with five hundred cavalry, he can defeat the three thousand enemy troops in front of him in one fell swoop" After being excited, Sun Jian also wanted to show his strength, so that Jiang Qi could be sure that today's decision was very correct, and even pointed to the enemy army under the city to reassure.
"Okay, then Ben Hou will take a look at the majesty of the Jiangdong Tiger, Gongtai will go to prepare horses, and when Ben Hou's order is issued, he will defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop" Hearing Sun Jian's sonorous and powerful assurance, Jiang Qi also came interested and immediately agreed.
"No, the last general will annihilate the incoming enemyγγγ Sun Jian did not hesitate, and took Cheng Pu and Huang Gai away as soon as he took the order.
"General Sun Xiao, our agreement has begun, come and get the Benhou Bow" Looking at Sun Jian, who was going to go resolutely, Jiang Qi stopped wanting to follow Sun Cedao, who came forward.
"If my father kills the enemy general, it won't count!" Compared with the respect of officials for Jiang Qi, Sun Cecai, who does not understand the world at the moment, is not restrained at all, and in the face of Jiang Qi's obstacles, he actually bargained in some displeasure.
"Hahahaγγγ good, Ben Hou will convince you to lose today" Jiang Qi is also a young man who has not yet reached the crown, and he is used to seeing people who flatter him these days, but now the equal dialogue with Sun Ce has calmed him down a lot, and he immediately agreed.
It is also reasonable for Sun Jian to emerge in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Sun Jian's city tower is just a cup of tea, and a team of cavalry with spears and hooks in their arms are ready to go.
The soldiers gathered at the gate of the city at the moment, whether it is their calm face or the silent lineup, all show their elite, so there is no need to think anymore, even if the enemy army outside the city is several times more than theirs, but the victory is also certain.
Looking at the elite battle formation, Jiang Qi even though his subordinates are like a cloud, but he has to feel that he still lacks a good leader like Sun Jian.
However, without waiting for Jiang Qi to think about it more, the guards who had just gone to get the bow had already returned, but now it was different from going alone, at this moment there were two more followers behind him, and the two people who came with him were one with a tiger head and a tiger brain, and one was handsome and smart, and they didn't need to see it clearly to know that they must be Zhou Yu and Jiang Cheng, who came to see the excitement after hearing about the war.
"Master, your bow and arrow γγγ" Coming to the front of the city tower, Jiang Cheng smiled innocently, and then respectfully raised the bow in his hand and said.
"Since we're here, let's watch the battle together!" Glancing at Zhou Yu, who was lagging behind Jiang Cheng, Jiang Qi suddenly flashed a trace of ominousness in his mind, and then felt Sun Ce's gaze between his frowns.
As Jiang Qi expected, Sun Ce, who had been in the army for several months, had no playmates of the same age and only practiced martial arts every day, and immediately found the organization after seeing the two villains appear, and then said unrestrainedly: "I didn't expect that there are still young people like Ce in the army, I am Sun Ce of Wu County."
"Oh, it turned out that he was still a fellow villager, Zhou Yu of the boy Lu County" I didn't want to meet a fellow villager, Zhou Yu, who hadn't paid attention to Sun Ce, suddenly became interested, and then looked at Sun Ce, who was extraordinary in shape and appearance, and actually had a little good impression.
"Brother Yu, you shouldn't be a person in the army! Seeing that you look like a scholar, how could you come here" Hearing Zhou Yu's words, out of the friendship of fellow villagers, Sun Ce also became interested, and at the moment, regardless of age, the brothers were commensurate.
"Brother said and laughed, the younger brother doesn't have the appearance of the elder brother, how can he fight, just do some paperwork now" Following the words, Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce, who was much taller than him, and recognized the younger brother cleanly, and then said.
"When it comes to fighting a war, it's not good, but my father has already prepared his arms and horses, and he is about to go to war" Sun Ce is also a familiar man, seeing Zhou Yu Keqing's appearance, he immediately pulled him to the daughter wall with a big grin, and pointed to the people and horses gathered under the city.
"It turns out that you are Sun Sima's son, no wonder you are extraordinary, you really have the style of a father" With his fingers, Zhou Yu saw Sun Jian with a heavy armor hand pressing the big knife on his waist at a glance, and his eyes tossed and praised after comparing their bearing.
"There, there, it will be good for Ce Neng to be half a point with his father in the future, look at Brother Yu's extraordinary should also be the son of the family, I don't know which brother he is" Although there is no comparison, but at this moment, Zhou Yu recognized his identity, and out of the glory of his status, Sun Ce couldn't help asking.
"The family can't talk about it, my father is now serving in Beijing" said that there was no white ding, hearing Sun Ce's words, Zhou Yu, who still had a youthful heart, didn't want to be looked down upon, so he immediately spoke.
"Oh, it turns out that Brother Yu is also a child of the Shi clan, no wonder we can meet here, by the way, just now Ce also made a bet with the prince, since you are familiar with the prince, can you make a judgment" Hearing Zhou Yu's family history, although Sun Ce didn't know what the servant was, but since they were all children of the scholar clan and fellow villagers, he decided to make friends, and when he glanced at Jiang Qi, who was facing the soldier ordering, he even proposed.
"Yu can't be the master, but brother rest assured, the younger brother and Yi Yanghou have known each other for a long time, we are also teachers and friends, no matter what the bet is, he will keep his promise, as long as the brother does not cheat" For Sun Ce's proposal, the smart Zhou Yu did not dare to agree, Zhou Yu knew Jiang Qi's personality very well, if he agreed, wouldn't he obviously not believe in his personality, how could he be so stupid.
"Okay, Ce believes you, no matter if you win or lose, you won't lose at least one friend today" Sun Ce is also an open-minded person, even if Zhou Yu didn't agree, he still warmly hugged his shoulders and said.
"I just heard that there is going to be a war soon, and now that Uncle Sun is ready, let's go to the city together to see how it is, I have read a lot of military books before, but I don't know how to command the battle" In the face of Sun Ce's enthusiasm, Zhou Yu also accepted it abruptly, and proposed when he saw that Jiang Qi had already held the bow and arrow.
"That's very good, I want to see how the prince and the marquis shoot down the enemy generals from nearly two hundred pacesγγγγ by the way, who are the companions with you," Sun Ce also smiled and agreed.
"Oh, that's Yi Yanghou's apprentice, born as a domestic slave, but he's not bad, quite honest" In response to Sun Ce's curious question, Zhou Yu casually looked at Jiang Cheng, who was a slightly reckless man under his majestic body, and said lightly.
"Ohγγγγγ no wonder you are so subservient" Originally, he looked at Jiang Cheng's steady pace first, and wanted to compete with him in martial arts, but now that he heard Zhou Yu's introduction, Sun Ce immediately lost interest.
"Their family has been a slave in the Jiang family for generations, it's so γγγγγ" Zhou Yu also smiled and didn't say more.
Yes, although Zhou Yu seems to be inseparable from Jiang Cheng every day, but due to the inequality of family and knowledge, even if he is commensurate with his brother, there is still some distance in his heart, and it can even be said that Jiang Cheng, who is honest in his eyes, is more like his follower.
As for the current situation, Zhou Yu is different in the face of Sun Ce, who has an equal status, perhaps because of the attraction of people of the same kind, they have a spark just in front of them.
However, in the cordial conversation between Zhou and Sun, they didn't notice that Jiang Qi, who originally seemed to be busy, had already seen their words and deeds in his eyes just now, even if he was not displeased, but when he heard the comments on his apprentice, the corners of Jiang Qi's eyes still fluctuated slightly.
