I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 278 Ambush from All Sides
Moreover, he felt that with the enemy's ruthless determination, there would definitely be a follower. Maybe there was an army rushing towards Sun Ce at this moment, and he would definitely seize the excellent opportunity when the Soochow army was shaken and panicked.

"Oh... everything is over..."

Looking at the naval warships engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, Zhou Yu felt ashamed, and slumped down on the ground, lamenting uncontrollably.

After a while, Zhou Yu jumped up suddenly, and shouted to the bewildered soldiers behind him, "Quickly, separate the big ships that are not yet on fire in the distance, and take my general orders to hurry to the place." On the north bank, tell General Han Dang that as many large ships as possible should be recruited immediately, and be ready to send the army to the south at any time."

After making arrangements, he immediately rushed to Sun Ce's camp.

"Report... my lord, something is wrong, something is wrong." The patrolling soldiers rushed to Sun Ce's big tent, shouting persistently.

After inspecting the camp, Sun Ce just lay down. The prolonged battle made him very worried, so he couldn't fall asleep at all. Hearing the shouts outside the door, Sun Ce frowned, sat up immediately, and asked with some displeasure: " Why are you so panicked? Report it quickly."

The sergeant didn't care about saluting, and said in a panic: "My lord, the fire is burning in the direction of the water village, and there seems to be something abnormal..."

"What? The direction of the water village is different?" Before the sergeant finished speaking, Sun Ce rushed over, grabbed the man by the collar, and asked sharply.

"My lord, if you don't believe me, follow me to the high platform to have a look." The sergeant said tremblingly with fright.

Sun Ce walked out of the battle first in doubt, and soon climbed up the turret of the camp. From above, he could clearly see that the direction of the water village was full of flames, and the fire had already illuminated half of the sky.

"Knock..." Sun Ce's heart twitched suddenly. He knew that an enemy must have attacked the water village. He was so shocked that he almost lost his footing and fell off the high platform. Fortunately, Huang Gai who was next to him had quick eyes and quick hands, and supported him.

"My lord, think of a way quickly, or the army will be in danger." Huang Gai asked anxiously.

It took a long time for Sun Ce to recover from the huge shock. After fighting for many years, he immediately realized that he was in a crisis. Greater unease.

Before he had time to think about it, Sun Ce immediately ordered: "Hurry up, blow the assembly horn, and the generals from all walks of life will gather the army and be on guard at any time."

He took another look at Huang Gai who was standing on the side, and continued to order: "General Huang, immediately lead the [-] troops from our headquarters to rescue the water village. We must stick to the passage of our army's retreat, and there must be no mistakes."

Apparently, he was worried that someone would sneak attack on his escape route. If the warship was burned, there was still a glimmer of life. At worst, if he continued to collect warships from Jiangdong, he would still have a chance to retreat.

But if the way of retreat is cut off, and the way back for food and grass is cut off, then everything is over. At that time, my army of more than [-] people will really be alone and there is only one way to die.

"Woo... woo..." The thick and somewhat sharp horn blasted in the camp. Many sergeants heard the assembly horn, although they were reluctant, but fearing the military law, they got up helplessly and went to the gathering place of the battalions.

"It's really fucking unlucky, it's not safe for people to live at night." Some people walked out of the big tent cursing, but saw the half of the sky in the direction of the water village not far away, which was burned red by the fire, and finally realized that something big happened. .

The soldiers of Soochow had an ominous premonition in their hearts, and someone muttered: "Look, this may be the water village has been burned, maybe the big ship has been burned."

"How do we go back?" Worrying voices came and went.

Anxiety began to spread among the crowd. Some soldiers who feared the war had suffered heavy losses due to the northward attack on Jiangdu.

Zhou Yu finally arrived at Sun Ce's camp, and told Sun Ce exactly what happened just now.
Only then did Sun Ce know the whole story, and his last trace of luck was completely shattered. He said to Zhou Yu a little discouraged: "It seems that this expedition will return in vain. Why do I feel like I'm being calculated? It was a conspiracy from the beginning."

Sun Ce came to his senses, he always felt that someone had tricked him, otherwise the enemy would not have prepared so well.

"My lord, this is not the time to discuss this matter. We should be careful and return to Jiangdong as soon as possible. It is too dangerous to be alone in Jiangbei, and it is impossible to say that the enemy has a backup, and there may be an ambush." ​​Zhou Yu said again He told Sun Ce about arranging for Han Dang to collect the big ship.

"Gong Jin's words are very true. I have ordered the entire army to assemble, firstly to guard against enemy sneak attacks, and secondly, to withdraw southward in an orderly manner when the ships arrive tomorrow." Sun Ce arranged.

"Report... my lord, there is urgent military information to report." Just as everyone was still in shock, the soldiers of Sun Ce's army were also gathering in an orderly manner, and suddenly the scouts outside the door reported loudly.

"Hiss..." There was some bad news again, and there was a cloud of gloom in everyone's hearts.

"My lord, there are a large number of enemies coming from the west towards our camp. According to this, there are still less than twenty miles away. Because of the dark sky, we can't see the number of enemies clearly, but at least more than [-] people." The scout entered Report loudly behind the account.

Sure enough, the worst thing happened. Li Shimin really had a backup, and he shot decisively and ruthlessly, hitting him on the seven inches.

"My lord, the enemy's situation is unknown right now, so it is not appropriate to go out to fight the enemy. Our army should stick to the camp. After dawn, we will be able to find out the enemy's real situation, and it will not be too late to deal with it." Zhou Yu suggested aloud.

When the enemy's situation is unknown, you really can't act rashly. Besides, the morale of the army is fluctuating at this time, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is also greatly affected. You can only stick to the camp and wait for the dawn.

Thinking about the joint here, Sun Ce gave an order. "Give me an order. General Cheng Pu will lead the [-] elite troops to guard the west gate. General Jiang Qin will lead the [-] troops to guard the north gate. The other generals will command the troops of the headquarters and be on guard at any time. Wait for my order to act. Be sure to guard the camp. error."

"No! I will follow the Lord's order!" They all went down and prepared to go.

At this time, [-] Huben soldiers were leading the attack on Sun Jian's camp under the leadership of Tai Shici and Song Xian. These [-] troops were all the troops that Lu Bu had left in Jiangbei that day.

It's just that the Soochow scout army responded quickly and quickly discovered them, making the army lose the possibility of a surprise attack.

In the blink of an eye, [-] miles away, the [-] troops rushed to the front. Seeing that the enemy camp was brightly lit, and the camp was surrounded by crossbowmen, it was obvious that they were ready and waiting for their arrival.
