The sun has set on the horizon.

Mi Zhu sat in the courtyard and looked to the east, a little autumn wind blew, and a trace of fallen leaves slowly fell.

"Lao Xu (Mi family housekeeper), haven't you heard any news yet?"

"Master, the second master has already gone to the door to wait, and he should be there soon."

As she spoke, Mi Fang hurriedly ran in.

"Big brother, here's news. Sun Ce led an army of 10,000 and confronted Liu Bei in Xiaochenzhuang, and it was now the third day. Liu Bei's army had been beating drums and fighting for two consecutive nights, but they had failed to take Sun Ce. ”

Mi Fang nodded.

Mi Zhu was a little anxious.

"Big brother, it's August 13 now, and the day after tomorrow is the day agreed by letter, can this Liu Bei really enter Guangling?"

Mi Fang shook her head. He was also not sure, Liu Bei's army had won Huaipu and Huaiyin one after another, and he had already shown the ability of one of the princes. Two days ago, Zhang Fei won a big victory over Qiao Rui in Xutai, and there is no doubt that Liu Bei's army is still sharp. When he encountered Yuan Shu's army three times in a row, he easily won more with less, and they were all broken by meeting, which was enough to prove Liu Beijun's strength.

But now that he has met Sun Ce, why can't he move forward for a long time.

Mi Fang expressed her concerns: "Big brother, Yuan Shu is weak, Liu Bei can win easily, this may not mean that Liu Bei is strong." Compared with Yuan Shu, Sun Ce is the little overlord of Jiangdong, and he has a lot of capable people, Liu Xun and Liu Tingshi are not opponents, and I am afraid Liu Bei is no exception. Did we make a mistake this time? ”

In the face of Mi Fang's suspicion, Mi Zhu did not rush to deny it, although he believed in Liu Bei and believed in his own vision even more, but after all, he controlled the fate of the entire family in his hands, and any move he made involved the future of the family.

"It's okay, wait. August 15 has not yet arrived, and the outcome is still unexpected. ”

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and Mi Zhu's mind is getting heavier and heavier.

With the moonlight, Liu Beijun's soldiers arrived at the designated position.

The clouds in the sky flowed rapidly in the moonlight.

The river is calm, with only the sound of the wind blowing across the water.

Guan Yu quietly crossed the river with 3,000 soldiers and made a detour to the south of Sun Cejun's camp. Along with him were Zhao Chen himself and the rest of the soldiers.

Seeing the right direction, he ordered the general to lead 2,000 infantry to the grove east of Guangling County, and he stayed in place to observe the large camp on the opposite bank.

Zhao Chen said goodbye to Guan Yu: "General Guan, the night attack you requested, I will return it to you tonight." Whether you can win or not is up to you. ”

With that, he turned and left.

Guan Yu in the night, his eyes gradually became firm.

Because he knew that without Zhao Chen, that military order would be the last journey of his march.

Liu Bei's camp was quiet, and the firelight on his face fluttered in the wind, intersecting with the moonlight, illuminating the entire camp.

Suddenly, there was a sound of water on the river.

As Zhao Chen expected, Sun Ce led Zhou Yu and Huang Gai to gallop in a boat, causing many splashes on the river.

About a quarter of an hour later, Sun Ce's army came to the shore, and dozens of people walked down from each boat, a total of about 5,000 people.

Liu Bei, who was ambushed in the camp, was staring at Sun Ce intently at this time.

"Lord, it seems that Sun Ce's army is halfway here. This is an iron determination to conquer our army's battalion! ”

Liu Bei nodded: "Fortunately, Houde has expected that he will lay a net in advance, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will not be able to escape this time." ”

Sun Ce took advantage of the darkness of the night to lead the army to sneak into Liu Bei's military camp.

As soon as he entered the camp, he met Liu Bei. Sun Ce and Huang Gai smiled slightly, seeing Liu Bei hurriedly riding a horse and running away, they hurriedly concentrated their forces and attacked head-on, only Zhou Yu faintly felt that something was wrong.

Liu Bei saw Sun Ce and others bite the hook, and led the people to retreat while fighting, until they retreated to the easternmost camp.

Sun Ce chased after him: "Whoever takes Liu Bei's head tonight will have a bounty of five hundred taels!" ”

When the sergeant heard this, he pounced as if he had been beaten with blood.

Liu Bei smiled slightly and gave an order. The soldiers lit the rocket in their hands, turned around and came with a horse gun, and shot the rocket towards Sun Ce's army behind him.

Rockets fell from the sky, catching Sun Ce's army off guard.

For a time, the camp was on fire, illuminating half of the sky, and the fire ignited the camp tent and the prepared forage on the side, and Sun Ce and others had to command the army to hide in all directions.

At this moment, Chen Zhi led the army into the camp from the south and the north.

Chen Zhi fought unprepared with preparation, and fought disorderly with order, and suddenly killed Sun Cejun's chaos.

Five thousand men and horses trampled on each other, at a loss.

Fortunately, Sun Ce is also a generation of heroes, and hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Don't panic, organize a counterattack." ”

Gradually, the army became orderly.

At this time, Liu Bei did not give Sun Ce a chance to breathe, waved his army to fight back, and merged with Chen Zhi's army.

Sun Ce's army finally improved a little, and was beaten back to its original shape.

Zhou Yu hurriedly grabbed Sun Ce and shouted, "Not good! Bo Fu, withdraw quickly, you're in the middle of the scheme! If the melee continues like this, I'm afraid it will be folded here. ”

Sun Ce was really unwilling to stare at the chaotic scene in front of him, but the soldiers fell in front of him one by one, making him realize that the general trend was gone.

He gritted his teeth and scolded resentfully, "Zhao Chen, you wait for me!" ”

An immediate order was given to retreat.

But Liu Bei and Chen Zhi have been biting tightly, and Sun Ce is difficult to escape.

Huang Gai was in a hurry and shouted: "Lord, you and Gongjin go first, and I will break back!" ”

Then he swung his big knife and swooped down on Chen.

Seeing this, Chen Zhi greeted him with a gun.

The two fought for more than a dozen rounds in the fire, and they didn't win or lose.

Sun Ce's army took the opportunity to evacuate to the river.

But the scene in front of him surprised Zhou Yu, there were hundreds of warships, but now there are less than thirty.

Not far away, Jian Yong smiled and beckoned to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

At this time, Liu Bei's army behind him was getting closer and closer, and the warship in front of him was not enough to take at all, so Zhou Yu had to hint to Sun Ce and give up some of his brothers.

Sun Ce patted his thigh, pointed at Liu Bei from afar, and scolded: "Liu Bei, I'm not done with you!" ”

The soldiers who boarded the ship withdrew to the camp on the other side of the river.

Huang Gai didn't have time to board the ship and was taken by Chen Zhi in one fell swoop.

At this time, the river was as calm as ever, but Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's mood was difficult to suppress.

Halfway through, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu found that their water village had also caught fire for some reason.

How did they know that Guan Yu saw that the fire was on fire in the east, and he had already followed Zhao Chen's instructions and led a thousand cavalry to fight from the south, all the way to the north, and then turned to the west and killed from the gate of the camp in the west. Only 1,000 people, relying on rapid mobility, killed the 5,000 troops left behind in Sun Ce's camp without any defense.

Before leaving, Guan Yu also glanced back at his results and laughed: "What a Zhao Chen!" I'll listen to you from now on! ”

Sun Ce, who finally escaped from Liu Bei's pursuit, had to pack up the remnants of the army with Zhou Yu, abandon the water village, and evacuate all the way to Guangling City along the Phoenix River.

It is said that Zhang Fei led 3,000 cavalry to slowly detour to the east of Guangling City to wait for the opportunity, he just had to wait for the news of Qiaorui's defeat to reach Guangling County, otherwise it would not be able to disintegrate the enemy's heart and shake the fundamental role of the enemy's army.

In addition, there is one more important thing, which is Zhao Chen's plan next.

The outpost came to report that there was a fire in the direction of the Phoenix River.

Zhang Fei understood that this was a signal from Zhao Chen.

He hurriedly commanded everyone: "Brothers, change into Yuan Shujun's clothes and follow me to knock on the city gate." ”

They had to dress up as the remnants of the battle of Qiaorui and come to Guangling to help.

The army in Guangling City saw the fire in the direction of the Phoenix River, Wu Jing and Han Dang looked in the direction and suddenly realized that it was Sun Ce's camp that caught fire.

Now Han Dang couldn't sit still: "Wu Taishou, Liu Bei's army is far stronger than our army expected, there are 30,000 troops in front of Qiao Rui who were defeated by Zhang Fei's 5,000 troops, and now my lord's camp is on fire again, I must go to save the lord in case of accidents." ”

Wu Jing stopped Han Dang and said, "Do you remember what Zhou Gongjin said before he went out?" You can't go out of the city without a military order. ”

Han Dang shook his hand and said angrily: "I, Han Dang, follow the ancestor to fight in all directions, Zhou Yu has not yet come, and now he wants to stop me from going to save the lord with a word, how can it be so!" ”

"Wu Taishou doesn't need to say much, you will defend the city, and I will lead the army to go."

Wu Jing couldn't persuade him, so he had to let Han Dang lead an army of 10,000 and go out of the city to help Sun Ce.

As soon as Han Dang came out of the east gate, he encountered the defeated army of Qiao Rui pretended to be by Zhang Fei's subordinates.

Zhang Fei played a cautious eye and let his subordinates play Qiao Rui, after all, Qiao Rui's appearance is biased towards General Wenru, and his bearded face can be seen through by others at a glance.

Han Dang also didn't care about Qiao Rui, how could the defeated army of the Yuan Shujia be as important as Sun Ce.

The two nodded when they met, and then led the troops to hurry.

In fact, if Han Dang could stop and take a look, Zhao Chen's plan would be seen through. After Sun Jian's attack on Liu Biao unfortunately died, Han Dang was temporarily attached to Yuan Shu's account, and he was not familiar with Qiao Rui, but he should also have a lot of faces. If it weren't for the darkness of the night, Han Dang was in a hurry, and I am afraid he would not have been able to get through the tricks.

Taking advantage of Han Dang's time out of the city, Zhang Fei led the army to report to the name of Qiao Rui, and the soldiers guarding the city saw Qiao Rui and Han Dang greeting each other, and they did not suspect it, so they let them into the city.

Zhang Fei was secretly refreshed in his heart: "The military advisor really expected things like a god, and even Han Dang's dispatch of troops to rescue Sun Ce could be expected." It's good to have a military advisor, and this battle leader must be my old Zhang's. ”

Wu Jing in the city didn't know at this time that Zhang Fei had led three thousand men and horses to sneak under his nose.
