"The scouts reported that the Jiangdong soldiers and horses were only stationed outside the city, and there was no sign of attacking the city, which means that they must have mobilized soldiers and horses to ambush us halfway.

But there are thirty miles ahead of Huo County, and after Huo County, Qianjiang County is left, and then there is Shouchun, these places are all flat areas, not suitable for ambushes and raids, what does Sun Ce want to do? On the way, Wen Chou frowned and asked.

As we got closer to Shouchun, the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.

Now, the fatigue of the army is getting worse.

It's not surprising at all, days of hurrying and several fake attacks have long made this Huainan army sleepy and tired, and after entering the Jiujiang territory, Wen Chou is also stepping up his vigilance, and every day after nightfall, three classes of people need to be arranged to be on duty to guard against sneak attacks.

Of course, this can greatly improve the safety factor, but the test of the sergeant's endurance is too great.

Even elites like the trapping camp and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry can't withstand such a toss, not to mention, the most elite troops in Anfeng City have already lost most of them in the poisonous battle of the night attack on Guan Yu's camp.

Not to mention the ugliness, even Yan Liang felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more solemn.

"Sun Ce will definitely do it, maybe, he is guarding outside Dazhai, just waiting for us to get close."

Lu Su looked around, and said in a deep voice: "General, according to the distance, you can reach Shouchun in two days at most, after staying in the village tonight, you must rest for three days anyway, so that the soldiers can recover, otherwise even if you arrive, you will definitely lose." ”

"Okay, I've also thought about this section, we're here now, and Sun Ce doesn't dare to attack the city rashly.

In addition, the soldiers are so tired that they dare not be criticized by anyone when they rest. Wen Chou nodded in agreement.

The current rest is to prepare for the next big battle, and it is also necessary to take out all the meat of the army to restore the strength of the army, and it is not okay to eat dry food all the time.

"Brother, the prison army!"

As he was talking, Yan Liang rode his horse and rushed over, holding a bundle of bamboo slips in his hand, "Look, a cavalryman appeared in front just now, dropped the bamboo slips and ran away." ”

"What do you wear?" Wen Chou asked as he took the bamboo slip.

"Ordinary cloth clothes, so I'm also wondering." Yan Liang scratched his head and said.

The content of the letter is very simple, just one sentence, seven days ago, I saw Sun Ce lead the army into Huo County at night, there are no less than 10,000 soldiers, you need to be careful!

Wen Chou and Lu Su both felt their heads explode.

Sun Ce's people turned out to be in Huo County?

It's almost dusk now, and Xiazhai must be in this vicinity, so it's much easier for them to do it.

Seven days ago.

In other words, they calculated the speed of our march, and finally deduced that we must be stationed in this area, which is amazing.

The question is, who sent this letter?

"Now that Shouchun is besieged, and the surrounding counties have been taken by Sun Ce, it is obviously impossible for Liu Taishou's people, could it be that Sun Ce is deliberately suspicious?" Wen Chou's idea is far-reaching.

Lu Su looked at the bamboo slip in his hand and shook his head slowly, "No, there is no need for this, in fact, if you think about it carefully, the tired plan along the way, it is indeed the most suitable to start in Huo County, because we will definitely recuperate for a few days before approaching Shouchun."

In addition, the terrain here is extremely open, and it is not suitable for a surprise attack, so it is expected that we will instead stare at his Dazhai and despise Huo County, after all, there are no problems in the three counties in front of us, so far-reaching calculations. ”

This must be Zhou Yu's means.

From the time he left Anfeng, he was tired all the way, and then he used the three county towns he passed through to numb himself, and finally suddenly attacked in the most unsuitable place for sneak attacks, which was really unguardable.

Zhou Gongjin, yes.

"If they are really in Huo County, with the energy of the soldiers at the moment, they will still be stationed in the village overnight, I am worried." Wen Chou's expression became a little nervous.

Yes, it is no exaggeration to say that if you put on a posture to fight now, I am afraid that I will not be able to beat it.

Even if you're sure they're coming, you'll have to set up a village.

Lu Su did not respond to him, but pondered.

After a long time, his eyes were sharp, and he said: "The soldiers of the whole battalion are divided into two shifts, one is to set up a village, and the other is to rest. ”

Twenty-five thousand people are above the wilderness, and it is certainly not possible to go down to the village.

Moreover, if you want to counter the ambush, you can't do without the stockade after all.

Wen Scandal said, "It's not difficult, but I'm worried that a short rest will not restore the strength of the army, and the soldiers and horses will be reduced by half when the battle is engaged, I'm just afraid."

"How much tung oil is there?" Lu Su asked.

"It's enough, I'll bring out five hundred of the thousand altars in Anfeng City!" Yan Liang said as if he was invited.

"Good!"

Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out the sheepskin drawings to check, Shaoqing, his eyes lit up, "Here, the east and north are near the water, and the south is a steep slope, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses can only enter from the west if they want to attack the village, and they will go down here!" ”

Wen Chou glanced at it, and immediately ordered the army to rush forward.

Now, they're in a race against time.

They have reason to believe that if Sun Ce is really in Huo County, then this battle must have started tonight, and Jiangdong will not give himself too much time to react.

The situation is very bad, after all, it must not be too much to say that their army is a tired army now.

Even if half of the sergeants can be given a short break, the recovery effect will not be particularly good.

You told everyone that there was going to be a war tonight, and there were a few people with big hearts who could sleep soundly.

But now there is no second way for them to go, and Lu Su's strategy can be said to be the only chance to turn defeat into victory.

The only thing I don't understand is who sent this letter here.

If it's your own person, there's no need to leave it and run.

But if it were Sun Ce's people, this kind of practice seemed completely unnecessary.

Lu Su couldn't figure it out, but now he could only gamble.

"Shuanghegou is indeed a good place to go down, and there is only one place in the west to rush up." After the scout returned, Sun Ce smiled disdainfully.

In this area, there was no good place to ambush, and they were dragged into this way, even if they attacked head-on, Sun Ce also felt full of confidence.

Zhou Yu looked at the map and said contemplatively: "Lord, Lu Su is known for his talents, and the two defeats of Liu Jun show that he is well versed in the art of war. ”

"It's okay, it's enough for Gong Jin to drag them like this, if this is the case, I can't take them, and I will be the children of the Sun family in vain!" Sun Ce is now holding back a bad breath to take revenge.

In fact, it's not just him.

Tai Shici, Lu Meng, and others in the hall, which one of them has never eaten turtles in Anfeng, and which one of them is not looking for teeth all over the ground watching their own people being beaten.

Judging by the military strength of both sides today, no matter how much they fight, they cannot lose.

"My lord, the last general still suggests that it be safer."

"You, what else do you think?" Sun Ce frowned.

"Even if the Lu army did not set up an ambush in the wall, the soldiers and horses who could be arranged to keep vigil would not be less, and the last general suggested that an army should be sent to test the attack first, and if it is successful, the whole army will be charged, and if there is an ambush, then the decision will be made."

Zhou Yu's suggestion caused Sun Ce to shake his head and chuckle, "Gong Jin doesn't have to be too cautious, at this time, the Lu army has become tired, I will conquer it with all my might, and give them the greatest impact in the shortest possible time, so that I can crush their army's heart with one blow!" ”

Actually, it can't be said that Sun Ce is wrong, after all, from their point of view, if the army is divided into two parts, there will be fewer people who will be killed, and they must be afraid of them in the shortest possible time knowing that the other party must still arrange a night patrol army.

Now that Lu Jun looks like this, Sun Cezhen feels that he doesn't know how to lose.

"Lord, Gong Jin's words still make some sense, and the last general agrees." Cheng Pu, as the oldest general with the most qualifications, guarded the Shouchun Dazhai, and now only Han Dang is his uncle's generation.

His words worked.

Sun Ce pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Then leave three thousand soldiers and horses to guard the entrance of the village, and I will take the others to kill them." ”

"Lord He Lao is personally involved in danger, and this time he will be able to cut off Yan Liangwen and the ugly two fangs of the sacrificial flag!" Tai Shi Ci felt that the double halberds behind him were about to move.

"Ziyi, whenever there is a battle, can I stay behind?" Sun Ce asked with a smile.

This is really not rhetoric.

Sun Ce's battle in Jiangdong is a bit similar to Lu Bu, basically he plays in person in every battle, and the three words of Xiaobawang are really killed by the spear in his hand.

It's night.

The moon stars are scarce.

Just as Wen Chou feared, although the group of soldiers who did not participate in the garrison rested back to back, and some people lay down with spears, few of them really fell asleep.

Although, they were all sleepy and tired.

But when I think of tonight's battle, I don't know if I can survive, and I am worried in the end.

This is the difference between the weak and the elite.

If they are elite, many people will see through life and death early, be able to eat, and sleep, because they will always be willing to regard it as the last full meal and the last good sleep before life.

Obviously, the soldiers and horses brought by Wen Chou from Anfeng cannot be said to be completely absent, but there are not many left.

The group of people who followed Zhang Liao to resist Cao at the beginning survived less than one-tenth, and most of them died in Guan Yu's stockade.

But there is no way, the arrow is ready to be sent.

The sergeants who had set up the village had completed their work within the time limit, and they were already tired, so they all retreated to the open space next to the water flow behind the stockade, and found a random place to lie down.

As for this group of soldiers in charge of the ambush, there is no way, and they have to go up when they are tired.

Moreover, this kind of waiting is very painful, you don't know when the other party will come, this kind of torment acts on the body, making people more tired.

Lu Su had already hid on the slope to the south, overlooking the entire battlefield.

The night was long, and the minutes were ticking.

It's already past midday, and if you don't come again, the sky will be bright.

The sergeant in charge of the ambush in the battalion was very painful, the armor on his body was not heavy, the mosquitoes died a lot, coupled with the nervous mood, after everything was superimposed, the people with poor psychological quality really fainted.

Wen Chou didn't blame them after seeing it, not to mention these people, they all felt so hard.

"Here we are." Yan Liang's eyes sank, and he heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves.

Sure enough, it was the scouts who returned.

"The Jiangdong Army has arrived five miles away!"

"Pass the order down and get ready for battle!" Yan Liang twisted his sore neck and rubbed his hands.

Outside the camp, after Sun Ce glanced left and right, he raised his right hand and waved it without any hesitation, "Rush in and capture the flag!" ”

"Kill!"

Sun Ce pinched the horse's belly and took the lead with the overlord gun.

Behind him, Tai Shici, Lu Meng, Ling Tong, and Dong Xi followed.

The 7,000 Jiangdong Army poured into Lu Ying like a surging river.

Outside the stockade, Han Dang and Zhou Yu stood by, and beside them, there were 3,000 troops to respond.

People, success is more important than fame.

Whether it is Zhou Yu or Han Dang, in fact, it is not because of Lu Su's reputation, but because of the strategy shown by his two defeats of Guan Yu.

Such an opponent deserves his caution.

In the camp, Sun Ce waved the overlord spear, and after sealing the throats of several Lu soldiers leaning against the bonfire, he continued to move forward, his eyes were firm, that is, he wanted to rush to the tent of the Chinese army and cut down their handsome flags.

Lu Meng on the left and Dong Xi on the right each brandished their weapons, knocked over the bonfire, and set the tent on fire.

It shouldn't be, this is a camp of more than 20,000 people, how did you rush to such a distance, but you only saw sporadic Lu troops.

Tai Shici's speed did not decrease, and with a wave of the double halberd in his hand, he overturned a tent, and found that it was empty, and he was immediately stunned.

It's not good, it's an empty camp!

"My lord! Lord! Stop it! ”

Tai Shi Ci rode his horse again and again, shouted desperately, and after he got closer, he said eagerly: "Lord, they are all empty camps, not like a village of more than 20,000 people!" ”

"What?"

Sun Ce frowned, and also stepped forward to knock over the two tents, which were indeed empty.

Oh no, I really hit the trick.

In such a stunned effort, the infantry in the rear had already caught up, and when they were wondering why they stopped here, the rockets in the sky suddenly flew from both sides, and all of them fell behind the Chinese army.

After the rocket landed, it caused a series of tongues of fire, and the team of 7,000 people was divided into two.

Originally, this was the line of fire that blocked their escape.

Seeing that they were indifferent, Yan Liang could only order the arrows to be released.

Just when they were caught off guard, the horn sounded, and a large number of Lu troops suddenly appeared on both sides.

"Sun Ce rat, I am the general Yan Liang, hurry up and get off the horse and be bound!"

"Wen Chou is here, who dares to make a mistake!"

Almost at the same time, Yan Liangwen and Chou both came out from the left and right.

They didn't know who Sun Ce was, and it could be seen that the person who was surrounded by enemy generals was dressed in silver armor and was extraordinary, and he immediately became their target.

"Brothers, don't mess around, fight with them!" After Sun Cehu roared, all the generals around him rode their horses.

The rain of arrows did not stop, and it was still pouring towards them, shooting over countless Jiangdong foot soldiers.

But on the frontal battlefield, Lu Jun did not bargain much.

As soon as Yan Liang and Wen Chou rushed in, they were surrounded and beaten by them, Sun Ce and Lu Meng surrounded Wen Chou to fight, and Tai Shici and Dong Xi joined forces to fight Yan Liang.

Seeing that the winner was fighting desperately, the originally panicked Jiangdong Army began to grit its teeth and fight.

This part of the song is the most elite under Sun Ce, and it is not a soldier of a hundred battles, but many of them have participated in the battle of Guangling, and they also followed Sun Ce to recover Jiangdong in the early stage, and their real combat power is not weak.

On the other hand, Lu Jun is too tired in the end, except at the beginning, when the morale rushes out like a rainbow, it seems that he can eat people.

But once the morale of the Jiangdong Army was not crushed at this moment, the battle seemed very passive.

If it weren't for the crossbowmen's desperate release of arrows, and their division being split in two, it would have almost been counterattacked.

The ambush was like this, and it was a real failure.

Fortunately, the Lu army, which had the advantage of numbers, attacked from all around and barely gained the upper hand.

Seeing this, Han Dang and Zhou Yu outside the stockade immediately led people to rush to relieve the siege.

It's just that they just ran in, and the tongue of fire is still very high, so they can only desperately use weapons to dig up the soil to extinguish the fire.

Tap, tap, tap

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves rang out.

The Lü army, the only cavalry, began to rush out of the forest outside the village after Zhou Yu led the people to rush in, in order to form a situation of encirclement.

However, Lu Su, who was overlooking the battlefield on the slope, felt heavy.

The person who sent the letter really didn't lie to himself, and this was not Koto's trick.

But, the problem is, this army is too tired, how can it seem, a little bit of a can't be defeated.

"Quick! Let all those standing soldiers participate in the battle! Lu Su hurriedly ordered.

"Whoa!"
