In the afternoon of the same day, at the suggestion of Li Su, Hua Xiong's soldiers divided into two routes, led by Hua Xiong himself, and went out of the customs first, heading straight to the front of Sun Jian's camp.

After the other way, he went out of the pass, led by Li Su, and made a detour to the rear of Sun Jian's camp, blocking Sun Jian's retreat and blocking the possible reinforcements of the coalition army.

As soon as Hua Xiong led the army out of Bishui Pass, he was discovered by Sun Jian's spies who had been staying outside Bishui Pass, and hurriedly passed this information back.

In order to survive normally, on the one hand, Yuan Shu was notified to quickly distribute food, and on the other hand, two meals a day were changed to one meal a day, so as to extend the number of days that the remaining food could survive.

At the same time, the patrol team also began to decline, reducing unnecessary physical exertion, which is also the reason why Sun Jian stayed in place when there was no food and grass.

Even if the army is withdrawn, it will require a large supply of food, but how can he withdraw from the army casually when he has received the position of a pioneer?

When it was not clear whether there was a problem with Yuan Shu's food, he could only wait for a reply from the coalition camp.

As for the scouts who reconnoitred, they were still able to keep eating two meals a day, and in this case, they found important military intelligence, and they still had the physical strength to return to Sun Jian's camp and report the information to Sun Jian.

"Let's go down, inform the other generals, and come over for the ceremony." Sun Jian waved his hand to inform the heralds to leave, and at the same time ordered the heralds to notify the other generals to come to the meeting.

The soldiers don't have much food, as a general, they should share weal and woe with the soldiers and lead by example, in this case, whether it is Sun Jian or other generals, they are all one meal a day.

It is precisely because of such behavior that the soldiers under Sun Jian have not generated much fluctuation in people's hearts, and they still retain basic discipline and army morale.

After a while, the four major generals under Sun Jian arrived one after another.

Looking at the generals under his command, Sun Jian said directly, "I received the position of pioneer, came here to Bishui Pass, broke the enemy and beheaded the generals, and made the first contribution of the coalition army, but now, Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway actually didn't even give me food, so if you do, forget it." ”

Seeing a few generals thinking seriously, Sun Jian then said, "Now, the guards of Bishui Pass have actually come out of the pass, no accident, it must have been discovered that our army is short of food, our army is short of food, although many people know about it, but basically they don't go out, so it is unlikely that the news leak came out of us, it can only be the camp of the coalition army." ”

When Sun Jian thought of this, he was a little disappointed in the coalition forces, with such a mentality and such actions, how could people work together?

"So what do we do?" Zu Mao asked directly on the spot, and in this case, it could only be Sun Jian himself who made the decision.

Sun Jian thought for a while, immediately made up his mind, looked at several generals, and said directly, "Ignore them, lead the troops and retreat." ”

Since there is no food, then there is no need to care about this vanguard position, withdraw the army directly, whoever likes to come.

Even if it was close to night, Sun Jian did not hesitate to issue a military order to retreat overnight, even if it was a big night, because he couldn't see it, there might be many soldiers who got lost and couldn't keep up, etc.

But these are not important things, Sun Jian has been waiting, those soldiers who came out of the Bishui Pass are the biggest disaster this night.

Whether you can see the sun tomorrow depends on whether you can withdraw from this place.

Even the camp was not taken away, and the army directly entered a state of light equipment and urgency, carrying only grain, grass and weapons, and Sun Jian's soldiers advanced directly in the direction of sour dates.

Night

Hua Xiong led his army and directly broke through Sun Jian's camp, and when he looked around, he found neither sentries nor patrols, and the entire camp was in chaos.

Such a chaotic camp does not look like an ambush, but rather looks like it runs away overnight.

As soon as he thought of this, Hua Xiong's face darkened on the spot, he really didn't expect Sun Jian to have such courage and dare to lead the soldiers to run away overnight.

In this era when the vast majority of soldiers can't see it at night, those who dare to walk at night are ruthless.

What's more, if it is a big night, if you retreat urgently, how can you have so much time to prepare torches and other illuminated items?

"General, there are traces of the army walking over there!" The soldier on the side pointed in one direction.

"Everyone, chase me." Now that he has found the traces of the enemy, Hua Xiong chose to pursue without the slightest hesitation, as for the poor Kou Mo chasing or something, it is all nonsense, a group of hungry infantry on the opposite side, can they still run past their cavalry?

…

Li Su led his army, in order to make it more convenient to raid around the rear, the temporary replacement of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, although some are not used to the combat method of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but the most basic assault will still be.

Scattered torches appeared in the distance, reflecting the scattered army around, and between walking, you could see the state of this army, which was obviously in extremely poor condition, and even the basic queue was difficult to guarantee.

But it was clearly moving in one direction, not like a rout.

Seeing this kind of army, Li Su understood on the spot that he had bumped into a big fish, and the army that could appear in this place was still in this state, and it could only be the army under Sun Jian that had almost no grain and grass.

The credit is in front of your eyes, how can you not catch the reason in your hands?

Li Su looked at the moon in the sky, although the brightness was not very high, but the ordinary Xiliang Iron Knights could still see some figures faintly, and they barely had some foundation for night combat.

After questioning many soldiers, Li Su chose the most common combat method of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and directly led the charge, like an awl, directly into Sun Jian's marching team.

A large number of cavalry followed Li Su's advance, and in this silent night, the sound of cavalry's galloping hooves was particularly eye-catching.

In this open flat land, with no terrain to stop the cavalry, Sun Jian's infantry encountered the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who was waiting for the battle.

Especially without eating, many Jiangdong soldiers, facing the impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, had already collapsed and fled in all directions before they could engage in battle.

"The whole army is in formation, the spears are in front, and the archers are firing horizontally." Cheng Pu, who was at the forefront of the army, quickly issued a military order, but at this moment, the army's command system was completely unable to play its due role.

There were occasional scattered bows and arrows, but they couldn't stop the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that had already galloped.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Li Su, holding a spear in his hand, not only did he slow down in the slightest, but directly scuttled into Sun Jian's infantry marching column.

The large number of Xiliang Iron Cavalry easily penetrated Sun Jian's infantry marching column, and the many Jiangdong infantry facing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry directly collapsed at this moment.
