I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 279
However, the Huben army seemed to have no intention of stopping. After the rear army arrived, five thousand vanguard soldiers headed towards Ximen with their shields on their backs. Battalion launches rockets.

They also sent thousands of crossbowmen to wander around, like assassins roaming in the game, constantly sneaking up and launching rockets at the enemy camp while the enemy was unprepared, making the Soochow army miserable and miserable .

Because Sun Ce ordered everyone to stand firm, the Soochow army just blindly defended and was passively beaten. In addition, the Huben army continued to harass them, making them tired of coping and a little helpless.

Indeed, just blindly defending is too much, which makes people very aggrieved, and it is hard to guard against it, and it is easy to break the defender's mentality.

In the end, this group of wandering Huben army soldiers seized the enemy's space and shot rockets into the enemy's camp. When the Soochow army was unable to cope, the fire soon became a prairie fire with the east wind.

"It's flooded, put out the fire..."

The raging fire disturbed the tranquility of the camp at once, and the soldiers who were already uneasy became even more agitated. Fortunately, they had already left the barracks and assembled in advance, so the casualties were not large. In addition, the fire was put out in time, and finally the fire was brought to an end. Take control.

However, Ximen's offensive became even more intense. The vanguard's [-] Tigers rushed up against the overwhelming rain of arrows, intending to break open the somewhat fragile camp. The company had already broken through two lines of defense. They were all overturned to the ground, but when the third floor was approaching the wall, the enemy rolled wooden thunderstones and threw them from the wooden wall, knocking down many Huben army sergeants in an instant, and finally stopped the offensive .

However, it seems that the Huben army is determined to rush into the camp. Seeing that their attack was blocked, they immediately sent [-] soldiers to start a fierce attack on the wooden fence in the direction of the west gate. Originally, the fence of this camp was not as tall and thick as the city wall. There was also a little shaking under the attack, and it seemed that if we worked harder, we could break into the camp.

"My lord, it's too passive to continue fighting like this. The outside of the camp can't withstand such a strong attack. The only plan for now is to send a support soldier to attack from the north gate and surprise the enemy from behind. , find out the true face of the enemy." Zhou Yu suggested hastily.

At this time, Sun Ce also felt that it would be a good strategy to inquire about the enemy's reality and relieve the enemy's pressure, so he immediately ordered: "General Jiang Qin led [-] cavalry from the north gate to surprise the enemy army at the west gate, and ordered General Cheng Pu to be ready. , ready to respond at any time, and another [-] soldiers will be transferred to strengthen the direction of the north gate."

"Promise!" All the soldiers agreed, and hurriedly withdrew from the big tent, ready to send troops.

The north gate of the Soochow Camp was finally slowly opened under the joint efforts of the sergeants. Jiang Qin personally led [-] elite cavalry from the north gate and rushed towards the west gate.

The army had just rushed a hundred meters from the north gate of the camp, and Jiang Qin was about to turn around and head towards the back of the Huben army. When they came out, the cavalry were all dressed in black armor, with fierce and terrifying masks on their heads. The exquisite armor was rattling, and it looked like night ghosts who had escaped from hell, which made people tremble with fear.

The leader was Tai Shici, the governor of Yangzhou, and the Soochow Army was caught off guard by this sudden enemy, and they fought together before they had time to think about it.

In fact, Tai Shici had been waiting here for a long time. Jia Xu had already expected that the enemy would attack from the north gate, so he asked Tai Shici to lead [-] elite tiger and cardinal troops to stand by and wait. Unexpectedly, he caught this big fish.

Under the dark night, the tiger and ben army's iron cavalry was full of fighting spirit. In addition, he was in the dark and the enemy was in the light. Under the surprise attack, he was like a tiger descending from the mountain. He was unstoppable. Changhong and Soochow soldiers were chopped down one after another.

Tai Shici took the lead, holding a mace, and charged at Jiang Qin head-on. It was true that the thief was the first to capture the king.

Jiang Qin's reaction was also very fast, he immediately raised his long knife and greeted him, "Dang Dang Dang..." In a few breaths, the two of them fought for ten rounds. .

Jiang Qin is also known as Jiang Biao's tiger minister, and his military strength is not bad, but he is somewhat guilty of being attacked from the dark by the enemy. In addition to the fierce offensive of the enemy, his own army is also somewhat overwhelmed.

But he knew that at this moment, there was no way to retreat, no way to advance, and he had no choice but to fight to the death, so he immediately roared like a mad tiger: "My sons from Jiangdong, fight to the death and never retreat!"

Immediately cleared up his mind and concentrated on dealing with Tai Shici.

Sun Ce in the camp soon received information of the enemy's surprise attack, and more than half of the [-] soldiers had gone out. Sun Ce decisively ordered the closure of the north gate, strengthened his guard, and sent out scouts to scout out the enemy's situation, while mobilizing troops and horses, ready to rescue at any time.

Sun Ce’s decision cannot be wrong. After all, keeping the camp is the most important thing at this time. The enemy’s situation is unknown. Abandoned, mentality has also undergone a great change.

The dark night always gives people an inexplicable fear, coupled with the feeling of being regarded as an abandoned child, morale and fighting spirit have dropped sharply, and it was not long before they were killed by the Huben army, and some fearful soldiers of the Eastern Wu Turn around and prepare to flee back to the camp.

When they arrived at the gate of the camp, they saw that the gate was closed tightly. What awaited them were cold arrows and harsh reprimands.

"Those who retreat, kill without mercy!"

The military law was ruthless, and in desperation, the soldiers of the Eastern Wu Dynasty went back to kill again, but how much combat power could the soldiers who were unwilling to do so have, and they were killed and fled for their lives not long after.

When Jiang Qin saw this, he was very anxious. He was entangled by the enemy, unable to reorganize the army, which made the soldiers who had been retreating steadily become headless chickens, and the army was already defeated.

Under the anxiety, his mind was hard to guard, and he showed his flaws. This gave Tai Shici, who was more and more courageous in the battle, a chance. The roots couldn't be seen clearly, Jiang Qin could only feel a strong killing intent sweeping his whole body.

"Bang..." After a loud noise, Jiang Qin was killed by his horse, and the Jiangdong tiger general fell.

Immediately, Tai Shici yelled: "The enemy will give the head, those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will not be killed."

"The enemy will confer the leadership, those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will not be spared." The soldiers of the Huben army also shouted sharply.
