Chapter 11: The Great Defeat of Sun Jian
Dong Huangjun's abnormal movement made Sun Jian really panic.
The lack of food was already deadly, and the scouts were completely defeated, which made Sun Jian's department actually deaf and blind, and he couldn't figure out the movements of Dong Huang's department at all, and he couldn't contact the other princes!
What's even more infuriating is that for three days in a row, Dong Huang's department would make noise out of the camp every night, looking like he was going to steal the camp, which made Sun Jian's department tired.
"It can't go on like this!"
Sun Jian hatefully brandished the ancient ingot knife and cut off the case, as if he had cut off Dong Huang's dog head.
"Lord, we are short of food and grass, and our sons are demoralized, so we must retreat as soon as possible!"
Cheng Pu, the first fierce general under Sun Jian, proposed.
"There are many cavalry in the thief army, I'm afraid it will not be easy to retreat, or I will leave the queen behind!"
Han Dang was very righteous and wanted to stop the work of His Royal Highness.
"You can't just leave, you have to fight, and you have to fight until Dong Zhuo's thief army doesn't dare to attack easily, otherwise the soldiers have no heart to fight, and the retreat will turn into a rout!"
Zu Mao also put forward his own opinions.
"I've made up my mind, let's fight first!"
Sun Jian said with a final word.
So, on the fourth night of being harassed by Dong Huang, the Jiangdong Tigers showed his cunning side.
Sun Jian did not choose to go out of the camp to fight during the day, but on this night, he organized an elite army and launched a surprise attack on Dong Huang's subordinates, who were carrying out routine harassment tasks at night.
Unexpectedly, Sun Jian's harassment troops who dared to launch an attack were immediately defeated, and Sun Jian took 5,000 elites all the way to the bottom of Bishui Pass, and then ordered the army to take the opportunity to attack the city.
A number of ladders were added to the city, and the generals Han Dang and Zu Mao under Sun Jian took the lead and climbed the army.
The main hit is a surprise.
After all, who would have thought that an army that was exhausted and about to run out of food like a turtle in an urn would dare to fight back?
If it is an ordinary general guarding the pass, it is really possible to overturn! However, at the night of Bishui Pass, it was Xu Huang, Le Jin, Zhang He, and Tai Shici, four famous generals, with their deputy generals and the people of the headquarters, who took turns to guard every day.
These four people, each of them are the talents of the generals who are in charge of their own affairs, even their deputy generals are not simple characters, as soon as the harassment troops were counterattacked, Xu Huang, who was on duty tonight, realized the problem and ordered his subordinates to prepare, when Sun Jian's department was really bold to attack the city, the defenders of the city wall had already been prepared, and the gold juice and other items to defend the city had already been prepared.
"Put!"
Xu Huang, who is known for his composure, snorted coldly.
In an instant, the soldiers who were waiting for the battle used rolling logs, stones, gold juice, fork poles, etc. to attack, and the besieging army instantly suffered a large number of casualties, and occasionally those who climbed to the top of the city were quickly hacked to death by the superior Dong Zhuo army.
The ladder where the general Han Dang was located was forked by the fork pole and fell to the ground, unable to move.
The fierce general Zu Mao successfully climbed the city tower, and with his powerful martial arts, he killed more than 20 soldiers defending the city one after another, but he also ended there.
Tai Shici's deputy general Li Tong, who discovered the abnormality, commanded the personal guards to surround Zu Mao tightly, constantly compressing Zu Mao's moving space.
Zu Mao was also brave, facing the swarming guards, wielding a big knife and slashing the two of them one after another. It's just that Li Tong's personal guards are not ordinary soldiers, each of them has split two or three layers of heavy armor, and there are shield armor soldiers holding big shields, and Zu Mao's big knives are all curled, and it is difficult to split.
However, the space at the head of the city was small, and Zu Mao was soon close to more than a dozen heavily armored soldiers, not only was it difficult to move, but the big knives were taken away, and Zu Mao also wanted to resist, but in the end he was poked to death by random guns.
From beginning to end, Xu Huang, who was commanding in the city, did not look at Zu Mao, who was blind, and Li Tong did not have the interest of going head-to-head with Zu Mao.
In a world where there is no matchlessness, individual bravery does not play such a big role in the face of the elite soldiers with high morale in the system.
Of course, if there were a hundred Zu Mao in the city, maybe they would be able to open up the situation, but there was only one Zu Mao.
After only half an hour of the attack, Sun Jian's men lost more than 1,000 people, two generals were killed and one seriously wounded, and most of the siege ladders were lost, and this was because the archers who defended the city at night could not give full play to the range advantage.
Even Sun Jian knew that this sneak attack had failed.
With the sound of thunderous horses' hooves, Sun Jian knew that he had to withdraw his troops, and if he didn't leave, he would be caught by Dong Zhuojun's cavalry.
"Withdraw!"
Sun Jianhu had tears in his eyes!
He was not afraid of failure, but Zu Mao's death and Han Dang's serious injuries made him extremely sad and angry.
The four most important old brothers he brought out from Changsha - Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Zu Mao have now died, and it is still unknown whether Han Dang can survive, which makes him not sad and angry!
However, no matter how sad and angry you are, no matter how unwilling you are, you have to flee for your life!
Sun Jian could only escape with people in embarrassment.
When Dong Huang ascended the city tower under the escort of Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhou Tai and others, he only saw Sun Jian, who was wearing a red curtain, hidden in the night, and behind Sun Jian's troops and horses, Zhang Ji, who attacked from the city gate, and Hua Xiong and Zhao Cen who killed from both sides were in hot pursuit.
Interestingly, the horsepower of the cavalry could have directly caught up with Sun Jian's troops, who were mainly infantry, but they just fell behind quite leisurely.
"Congratulations to the lord, the Jiangdong Tigers have been defeated!"
Jia Xu stroked his beard and congratulated.
"It's all the credit of the soldiers!"
Dong Huang also laughed happily.
During this time, Dong Huang also learned some knowledge of marching and fighting with the generals, and he knew that the reason why Hua Xiong and others did not annihilate Sun Jian's troops in a field battle was actually to force Sun Jian's troops into the camp, and they could follow Sun Jian's troops to charge the camp!
After all, under normal circumstances, a cavalry direct attack on a heavily guarded battalion is like a 28-year-old straight attack on the stone girl, and it will definitely suffer heavy losses and it will be difficult to achieve results!
But if you take the opportunity to cover up and kill the enemy to enter the camp, it is like a waterway with a wide open gate, you can go straight down the river and make a contribution in one fell swoop!
And it is impossible for the enemy battalion not to open the door and let the defeated soldiers in, because their main general, Sun Jian, is a member of the defeated army! However, Sun Jian can only run to the big camp, because the mountains are full of Dong Zhuojun, not to mention whether the big camp that has lost its main general will collapse if he escapes elsewhere, he himself may not be able to escape under the encirclement and interception!
Therefore, the camp was the only place where Sun Jian could reorganize his troops and horses and fight for a blow.
At this time, Sun Jian could only hope that Cheng Pu would be able to open the door in time and let himself in, and then close it in time! so that he could get a respite.
However, reality does not depend on Sun Jian's will. The defeat is not just talk. The moment the camp gates opened, everything was out of control.
It should be said that Cheng Pu was also a good general, in order to resist the attack of Dong Huang's cavalry, he placed a spear array near the camp gate, and let the rout enter from both sides of the gun array to prevent the rout from charging the formation.
But although the idea was good, the rout couldn't care about this, plus it was in the dark night, and after a while, the rout rushed the gun array, and the heavy cavalry of Hua Xiong, Zhang Ji and Zhao Cen also took the opportunity to kill in!
At the same time, in the rear of Sun Jian's army camp, Zhang Liao's department, which was a grass horse and a horse, also quietly touched the past, taking advantage of the opportunity of Sun Jian's army camp to disrupt and the guards to be attracted by the big changes, broke the fence of the rear camp, rushed in from the rear camp, and formed a two-sided attack with Hua Xiong and Zhao Cen's department!
What made Sun Jianjun even worse was that Dong Huangjun's foot soldiers also decisively seized the opportunity and followed up quickly!
At this time, Sun Jianjun's fiasco was inevitable!
