Chapter 317 Give it a go, fight to the death
Twenty-four generals ranked, one Lu, two Zhao, three Dian Wei, four passes, five horses, six Zhang Fei, Huang Xu, Sun Tai, and two Xiahou.
Sun Ce and Tai Shici's rankings are second only to Xu Chu, and even before Liangxiahou.
Of course, it's possible that this thing is purely for rhyme.
After all, a general of the Northern Kingdom like Yan Liangwen Chou was actually ranked to twenty-one and twenty-two, at least, in this dimension, the ranking is unfair.
On the battlefield in front of him, it can be seen to the naked eye that Sun Ce and Wen Chou actually only have a slight upper hand in the fight.
Lu Meng, who originally cooperated with Sun Ce to fight Wen Chou, was squeezed out of the battle circle by the Lu army rushing forward, so he could only parry first and hold down the position.
But even so, Wen Chou didn't get cheap at all as an ambush party, and in the collision between the Overlord Gun and the Soul Breaker Gun, it was obviously Wen Chou who was weaker.
Hell, didn't Wen Yuan say that Wen Hou teased Sun Ce under Guangling City, to this extent, how did he joke
Yan Liang has never fought with Lu Bu, nor has he seen what Lu Bu really looks like, but Wen Chou knows it.
In order to subdue themselves, the two also had a fight.
He admitted that Lu Bu did have the courage of heaven and man, but if they met on the battlefield, he would not be able to use the word banter against him.
According to this reasoning, it is inferred that his own martial arts must be above Sun Ce, and today's posture is unexpectedly unbeatable.
Oh, that proves that Wen Hou didn't do his best at the beginning, Wen Chou felt a little uncomfortable.
And on Yan Liang's side, the situation is far worse than this.
Tai Shici, as a fierce general who fought against Sun Ce against Lily, is definitely a player in the same class, and it is no problem to clean up Yan Liang, not to mention that there is a Dong Xi next to him.
It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for the help of the sergeant beside him, Yan Liang would have been cut off the horse in a maximum of twenty rounds.
Yan Liang was very surprised, didn't he say that there are few people in Jiangdong who can fight, and the eight hundred people of Liaoshen can clean it up, Wen Yuan misunderstood me!
Fortunately, the sergeant on the side kept holding back Tai Shici, who was wielding a double halberd, and in the end, he couldn't concentrate on the battle.
At this time, the three lines of fire watered by tung oil were all extinguished by Zhou Yu's dispatch of people to dig up the soil, and after the Jiangdong Army got a new force, the fighting spirit became even more intense.
Morale is a very mysterious thing.
At the beginning, when they were ambushed, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses were indeed very flustered, but in the end, the budget was too strong to attack, so that the army's morale would not be turbulent.
However, after the battle, it was found that the combat effectiveness of the Lu army was far inferior to the one under the city of Guangling, and there was a tendency to become more and more courageous the more they fought, and now Zhou Yu's reinforcements were added, and the morale began to rise.
On the other hand, Lu Jun has taken a sharp turn for the worse.
"Kill them, brothers!" Han Dang's long knife slashed, looking like there was no enemy and no self.
Behind him, the Jiangdong Army roared and rushed up, and he really had the intention of fighting back.
The battlefield was so intense that the movement behind the Thousand Riders could be ignored.
Rushing in from the middle formation and then carving a path is to break the formation or open the passage.
The current situation is that the Jiangdong soldiers are behind and the Lu army is in front, and if they rush straight, it is easy to accidentally injure their own people, and once the speed stops, the cavalry advantage will no longer exist.
According to the pre-arranged plan, this cavalry was divided into two parts, one left and one right, along the edge of the battle circle and began to harvest the heads of the Jiangdong Army.
Just one charge was enough for them to harvest the heads of hundreds of Jiangdong troops.
With the appearance of cavalry, the momentum of the Jiangdong Army suddenly stagnated.
The biggest role of cavalry on the battlefield, especially on the battlefield in front of them, is not even how many people can be killed or wounded, but because it brings psychological pressure to the Jiangdong Army.
At this time, the indomitable Jiangdong Army began to look forward to the future, and they were afraid that the cavalry would continue to fight from the edge after they returned, so they would consciously squeeze in.
The immediate consequence of this mentality is the confusion of the formation.
"Don't mess around! Don't panic! ”
As a veteran of the battlefield and one of the four veterans who followed Sun Jian to discuss Dong, Han Dang saw the deterrent power brought by the cavalry at a glance, and shouted while cruising towards the edge, "Pikemen, pikemen quickly stay outside!" Gongjin is on the right, and I am on the left! ”
Han Dang commanded in an orderly manner, the plan was out, and the action was like the wind.
As the first in the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu is not only strategic, but a man who can fight on the battlefield, wielding the long sword in his hand and desperately fighting his way, beckoning the pikemen to the outer edge.
"Brother help me!" Due to the influx of the Jiangdong Army, the surrounding sergeants were no longer able to share the pressure from Tai Shici for Yan Liang, and it was not a shame to call for reinforcements than to lose their heads.
"Hahaha, is this Yan Liang, the general of the 700,000 army in the northern country, but Er'er!" Tai Shi Ci snorted coldly, and the double halberd dance became more and more ferocious.
"Brothers, the fish is dead and the net is broken, and the thief army is fighting!" In response, Wen Chou could only use this way to inform Yan Liang that he really couldn't pull away.
Although he is one-on-one, the man in front of him is the little overlord of Jiangdong, and the overlord gun in his hand is like a chopping wave, the two stick together, and it is not easy to parry, how can he just go.
Even, a single distraction can lead to death.
Tear pull~
Tai Shici's double halberd was extremely flexible, Yan Liang had a sense of déjà vu when he encountered Dian Wei under the White Horse City, and finally his speed couldn't keep up with the reaction, and he was slashed by Dong Xian's arm, and blood poured out.
Yan Liang, who was extremely painful, gritted his teeth and held on, the sword mountain and the sea of fire have come, I don't believe that I can die in the ambush battle!
In fact, it was not only Yan Liang who was deflated, from Lu Su's point of view, it can be clearly found that this ambush was too miserable, and his own soldiers fell one by one, even if there was a cavalry to join, due to the lack of numbers, coupled with Han Dang Zhou Yu's desperate battle, he really didn't please him.
If this trend continues, not only will the camp be unable to be saved, but even Yan Liangwen's life will be threatened.
He pulled out the ring knife from the waist of the soldier on the side, and shouted in the surprised eyes of everyone: "The soldiers listen to the order, if you lose the battle tonight, not only will Shouchun not be saved, but we will also be doomed, rush down and help the war!" ”
"Kill!"
Lu Su really dared, he had always been a civil official, with his courage, he rushed down to fight with a team of 200 people to protect him.
"Kill, rush up, fight with the thief army!" At the same time, the soldiers in the rear, who were already tired and couldn't open their eyes, also took up arms and rushed up to help.
Everyone knows that if Sun Cejun breaks through Dazhai tonight, they will also become prisoners of the ranks, and whether they can live or not depends on Sun Ce's thoughts.
When the Huainan army faced Sun Ce, it would actually be more willing to fight to the death.
These are all due to the fact that when he was still under Yuan Shu, he attacked Lujiang and killed too deeply, and the Lu family, one of the four major families in Jiangdong, was even in danger of being wiped out.
The new soldiers are not strong in battle, and their fatigue is obvious, but it is tens of thousands of people, and the sound of fighting alone can give people a feeling of panic.
Sun Ce didn't know whether it was true or not, he only saw that there were new Lu troops coming out in all directions, and he calculated that even if the other party was so weak in combat strength with the group of soldiers in front of him, after all, the good tiger couldn't stand the wolves, and he had to withdraw before closing the siege, and immediately shouted: "Quickly retreat!" Evacuate! ”
"Withdraw!" Sun Cejun gave an order, and the surrounding began to sing, and the army quickly retreated.
The Lu army did not dare to pursue, so they left with a swagger.
Now, they are thankful that they are willing to go, they are really afraid that the other party will play a fish and die and the net will be broken, Wen Chou and Yan Liang don't even doubt that their 25,000 people may not be able to win.
The scene was a mess.
The horizon is already white.
Seeing the figure of Jiangdong Jun disappear, many sergeants were weak and collapsed directly to the ground.
Lu Su looked at the scene in front of him, wiped the blood on his cheeks, and only felt extremely sad in his heart, he didn't dare to imagine what the scene would be like if it weren't for yesterday's letter.
"Are you alright?" Wen Chou rode his horse to Yan Liang's side.
"Damn, the guy with the double halberd is so good, even if he fights alone, I don't have the confidence to beat him, and there is a young general next to him to help fight, and I almost won't see my brother." Yan Liang covered the wound on his left arm, and his heart palpitated.
"Jiangdong Army, amazing." Wen Chou looked at the corpses all over the ground, his own side was obviously more than the other party, and shook his head with emotion.
"It's a shame, they actually expected our night attack, how did they get the news!" On the way back, the sky was already white, Sun Ce looked at the soldiers behind him, and folded nearly half, and his heart was extremely depressed.
Although tonight is a big victory, it is far from the defeat of the opponent in the battle he expected.
Moreover, the other party's deployment was clearly arranged in advance, if it weren't for the tight time, they would not have been able to dig traps and set up ravines in the stockade, but they were afraid that the damage would be more serious.
"I also find this strange." Zhou Yu frowned.
It stands to reason that even if Lu Su is cautious in using troops, at most he will arrange more soldiers and horses to patrol the sentry.
But the other party is fully armed, so it is clear that he knows that there will be a bloody battle at night, which must have been reported in advance.
What will it be
"Could it be someone who ran out of Shouchun City?" Lu Menghu guessed suspiciously.
"It's impossible, Demou can't drain the water of Shouchunwei, even at night, soldiers and horses are arranged outside the four gates, and they can't get out!" Han Dang directly denied Lu Meng's speculation.
I couldn't figure this out, but they didn't guess the way of traitors on their own side, after all, these people were born and died with Sun Ce.
If you miss a blow, the other party is prepared, and it is not so easy to start again.
When I returned to Huo County, after counting, more than 5,200 people were lost in this battle.
If the Lu army is defeated, it will be worth it, but the problem is that Dazhai is still there, and it is very troublesome.
Something even more troublesome also came, Tai Shici ran in and arched his hand: "Lord, it is rumored in the city that Lin Mo has returned to Pengcheng to organize troops to rescue, claiming to drive us out of Huainan at the end of this month!" ”
"What?"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at each other.
The news of Ma Teng's defeat did come back, but he came back too quickly.
At the end of the month, that is, has he already brought people into the Xuyi area?
Who is with the army, is Lu Bu here?
As soon as he thought of Lu Bu, Sun Ce's mind came to mind with the eternal unwavering eyes under Guangling City.
"It's just a little gritty, not as good as half a point for me." After saying this, with a flying kick, he can plow himself on the ground for several feet.
Damn, the picture is too strong!
Sun Ce dared to attack the three counties of Huainan, so he was naturally mentally prepared to face Lu Bu, but it was not what he looked like now.
At this time, the army had not yet digested the land of the three counties, and it barely broke through Lu Su, but it was afraid that it was unable to parry Lin Mo and Lu Bu.
A strategist with extreme wisdom and close to demons, and a fierce general with unparalleled strength.
No, they will come back at this time, aren't they afraid that Sizhou, which has just arrived, will be unstable, and they will transfer troops from Xuzhou, so they are not afraid that Cao Jun will be in trouble?
This was completely different from what Zhuge Liang had guessed before, and Sun Ce felt that he had been fooled.
Could it be that they were worried that the Lu army would cross Anyang Mountain from Anfeng to attack Jiangxia, so they deliberately let themselves be the head of the gun.
All kinds of thoughts came out of thin air, and Xiaobawang felt that the situation was very bad.
Withdraw troops.
Although this thought was only fleeting, Sun Ce felt that it was too undeserved, and the sword was out of its sheath and there was no possibility of retracting it.
The three counties of Huainan are important to Lu Lin, but they are even more important to themselves, this is the only hope for entering the Central Plains, and they must not be allowed!
"Gongjin, what do you think?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu.
Whether it is as a military general or as a strategist, Zhou Yu's status in the army is not comparable to Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, and even Jia Xu cannot be compared.
In the Jiangdong Army, since Sun Ce, including Cheng Pu and Han Dang, these veterans have served Zhou Yu.
Last night's battle is a case in point.
"When we received the battle report from Guanzhong, the Lu army defeated the defeated ten coalition forces in mid-July, even if Lin Mo rushed back to Xuzhou non-stop, it would take a month to gather troops and horses to prepare at the earliest, and it would be impossible to enter Xuyi now, this is just Lin Mo's plan to attack the heart."
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, everyone looked solemn, and then nodded in agreement.
"However, Lin Mo's return to Pengcheng is only true, in the final analysis, no one expected that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the ten departments of Guanzhong would be all cleaned up by him in a few months." After reading the battle report, he just knew that Lin Mo used the discord meter, but Zhou Yu didn't know how to use it.
But deep down, I am still amazed by his methods.
Sun Ce didn't care about the latter words, but the previous words made him feel a lot more relaxed.
After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "The Lu army has been marching for days, and the strategy of exhausting the army, coupled with the bloody battle last night, the military strength will definitely not be able to recover in a short time.
I intend to take advantage of the fact that their military strength is tired and there is no danger to rely on, raise the soldiers of Shouchun Army Village and take them down in one go, as long as this force of soldiers and horses is eaten, Liu Ye's soldiers and horses will not be able to stop us at all. ”
Sounds reckless.
But it turns out that subconscious thoughts are sometimes the quickest and most effective.
After Zhou Yu took a deep breath, he nodded and said: "Also, please write to Cao Cao, informing the Lord that Xiaoguan's soldiers and horses have been pinned down by our army in Huainan, and invite him to attack Xuzhou. ”
"Cao Cao?"
Sun Ce frowned, "Will he agree?" ”
"Definitely!"
Zhou Yu was categorical, "After Lu Lin got Sizhou, Yu and Yan Erzhou became a situation of being attacked from three sides, if he didn't take the opportunity to fight back, there would be no such opportunity in the future."
Now, he has gained Yizhou, but Liu Beishang and Xiahou Yuan confronted under the floating mountain, if he can take the initiative to withdraw to Nanjun and give up Wuling, it will not be difficult for both sides to strike their troops.
In the final analysis, Liu Bei is the disease of scabies, and Lu Lin is the big problem in his heart, this truth, Cao Cao understands. ”
After this analysis, Sun Ce had confidence.
Cao Cao, he has an absolute reason to wave the army in the Central Plains, this battle is inevitable for the two of them, and if he takes the initiative to contain a Lu army, it is equivalent to sharing the pressure of Cao Cao head-on, it is better than dealing with Lu Lin alone, right?
As for Anfeng, you can take it, but now you can't get it, it's not a big problem, there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses in the city, and Jiujiang and Lujiang cut off the connection with Xuzhou from the middle, it's just a lonely city.
Thinking of this, Sun Ce said firmly: "Come on, take my tiger talisman to Dazhai, mobilize 15,000 troops, be sure to arrive in Huo County before midnight tonight, rest for a day, and attack Shuanghegou tomorrow!" ”
"Whoa!"
Zhou Yu's strategy was absolutely correct, using the most powerful Cao Cao to share the pressure on his own side, and only in this way could it be possible to block the attack of Lu Lin's army.
Moreover, only by eating the soldiers and horses in Lu Su's hands can it be possible to make the defenders in Shouchun City give up resistance, and the Huainan Gang will have the opportunity to serve themselves.
This time, in the big village outside Shouchun City, it was broad daylight for the Jiangdong Army to leave the village.
Liu Ye, who was on the road in Chengguan, looked at this scene and felt a little anxious.
Hou Ye wanted to attack the enemy and stabilize the army's heart this time, but Sun Ce seemed to have made up his mind, and he had to eat the soldiers and horses brought by Lu Zijing, if this continued, they would definitely be defeated.
But now I have gathered more soldiers and horses in the city, and there are only more than 4,000 people, and there are no fierce generals in hand, even if I want to break through the Jiangdong military village to rescue, I can't do it.
Liu Ye was very distressed, he couldn't do anything now except to pass the news to Lu Su while Jiangdong couldn't besiege the city.
Moreover, he also understood that once Lu Su was defeated, this Shouchun City would not be able to hold it at all.
It is even clearer that Lin Mo's reinforcements will not arrive in a short time.
There are countless ideas in my head, deceit, or encircling Wei to save Zhao, but in the end, I feel that I am not mature enough.
In all fairness, the elite level of soldiers and horses brought by Sun Ce this time was not something that ordinary troops could deal with, and Lu Su rushed to the army for days, and the time was so tight that it was too late to set up traps.
The only way is to withdraw.
As long as their army is not completely dispersed, they can still form a certain deterrent to Sun Ce after all, which can be regarded as buying time for Lin Mo.
On the other hand, he also knew that Cao Cao had endured for a long time, and he would definitely smell this once-in-a-lifetime fighter, as long as Sun Ce could delay for two to three months, Cao's army would definitely set off a big war in the Central Plains.
This game of chess, whether it is the current situation or the overall situation, seems to be very unfavorable to one's own side.
Yunwen, all I can do is to keep Shouchun, I hope you can arrive sooner.
Otherwise, once the two counties of Huainan fall, Xuzhou will definitely suffer from the enemy, how should you clean up the mess at that time.
