Han Xiang

Chapter 149 Xu Chu Jian Humiliated Sun Ce

"If you don't want to say it, forget it."

"Haha, don't worry, Zijing, Zhongkang won't break the bet. I'll tell him to put it away later. Sun Ce is going to die, but he can't die in our hands."

"what?"

Lu Su looked surprised, and immediately reminded: "Gambling is second, how can you not go all out on the battlefield? If General Xu Er made a mistake, how can you explain to Xu Bo'an? Even if you hurt Sun Ce and make enemies with Jiang Dong, you can't let yourself go. People suffer."

Long Xiang said with a smile: "Sun Ce does have some abilities, but he is not considered a top player. Regardless of his loud nickname, it means that his previous opponents were all incompetent. Zhong Kang is absolutely capable."

"Don't be careless. General Xu's command is insufficient, but he is a rare general who is in the battle. The army must rely on the general to open the situation."

Lu Su stroked his beard in disbelief.

Long Xiang grabbed his hand and comforted him: "Okay, okay, if Zijing is really worried, he will guard the gong himself in a while, and if the situation is not good, he will ring the gold."

"Well, that's fine." Lu Su actually nodded.

When the Jiangdong army retreated to the established position, Long Xiang raised his banner to order the city gate to be opened and the suspension bridge to be lowered.

In a few moments, Xu Chu led more than a hundred elite tiger guards, who were also Xu Village's sword masters, meandering out from the south gate of Hefei, and then formed a formation in front of the moat.

Sun Ce saw that Xu Chu was tall and tall, and the Huoyun Saber in his hand was wider than ordinary long-handled sabers. He thought that Xu Chu was a powerful man, maybe he was strong but not agile.

"Who will come? I, Sun Ce, will not kill the unknown."

"Xu Chu."

"Good Xu Chu, today is your memorial day next year."

"Noisy."

Compared with Sun Ce's words, Xu Chu was a bit too refined.

After the name was announced before the battle, Sun Ce suddenly raised his gun and went straight for Xu Chu.

Xu Chu took his time and waved his sword to meet him.

The two horses crossed, and the swords and guns collided.

As the saying goes, as soon as an expert makes a move, he will know whether it is there or not. It only takes three or two rounds to touch the depth of each.

Sun Ce is young and vigorous, with a spear and a dragon, and his moves are dangerous;
Xu Chu's face was expressionless, and the knife was like a fan leaf, retracting and releasing freely.

One is full of vigor, and the other is steady and sophisticated, just like a copper vat meets an iron urn, without any softness or hardness.

After fighting for fifty or sixty rounds in a blink of an eye, the soldiers of the two armies were all shocked.

Sun Ce was already sweating profusely at this time, he turned from excitement to nervousness at the beginning, thinking to himself that Xu Chu seemed to have infinite strength, and if he continued to fight, he might be bad for him, so he played a little tricky in the middle.

When the fight reached about 65 points, Sun Ce feigned defeat with a false shot and went back, hoping to return his carbine when Xu Chu chased him, but Xu Chu's sword did not move immediately, and he had no intention of pursuing.

While running, Sun Ce heard that the sound of hooves was not right, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Chu standing on his horse and stroking his beard. His clumsy performance could not continue.

"Xu Chu, you are really strong, but it's a pity that you were buried in little Hefei."

Sun Ce looked at Xu Chu with admiration, then changed the subject and began to court him: "There is no future with Long Xiang, so it's better to go to Jiangdong to do great things together, and I will protect you in glory."

Xu Chu was noncommittal, but only asked three words: "Stop beating?"

what?
Sun Ce instantly showed a puzzled expression, thinking that he didn't make it clear just now?Or your attitude is not sincere enough?

"Back to the city."

Xu Chu still spoke concisely, left two words blankly, turned around and rode his horse into the formation.

The soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion immediately changed their formation and retreated to the suspension bridge in an orderly manner.

After Sun Ce recovered from his surprise, his opponent Xu Chu had already walked back to the front of the crowd.

Sun Ce was unwilling to shout loudly: "Xu Chu, come to Jiangdong and follow me."

"You do not deserve."

The hormonal response spread like a shock wave.

Sun Ce, with a sullen face, heard it very harshly. Cheng Pu and Han Dang, who were watching the battle behind him, looked at each other in dismay.

Lu Su, who was watching the battle from the tower, was also stunned. He didn't feel it when he saw Tang Ju and Xu Chu spar before, but he knew Long Xiang's confidence when he saw it with his own eyes. He thought that if Xu Chu let go, Sun Ce might lose even faster.

"Zijing, don't you want gold?"

"Oh"

It was not until Long Xiang jokingly reminded that the golden gong was sounded, and at this time Xu Chu had already crossed the suspension bridge on horseback.

"Looks like I'm overdoing it"

"Not necessarily, Zijing, take a look."

Lu Su followed the direction of Long Xiang's finger and saw that Sun Ce was retreating south with the leading troops. Lu Su's gong seemed to be beating for Jiangdong.

Long Xiang beckoned to Tang Xi, and said, "Uncle Xi, let the sentries continue to monitor. It's getting late now, and I don't think Sun Ce will take any action for the time being, but don't let your guard down at night. Pay attention to arranging a change of defense."

"Don't worry, Yun Qi, I'll save it." Tang Xi accepted the order with cupped fists.

Long Xiang then left with Lu Su. He knew that Sun Ce had come a long way, and he would never leave without firing an arrow, so he called everyone to encourage him at night.

Army Sima's Mansion is located in the center of Hefei City. It is convenient and quick to receive information and send orders.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Sun Ce poured himself a drink, with a sullen expression on his face.

Zhou Yu remonstrated, "Don't worry about Bofu. When we conquer Hefei, we don't have to worry about not being able to surrender to Xu Chu. Taishi Ziyi was also rebellious at first, but later he was defeated and had nowhere to go. Didn't he also submit to the lord?"

"Gongjin doesn't know that Ziyi (Tai Shici) and I fought to the end. The two of them are actually equal, but Xu Chu is too powerful. If I continue to fight, I will be exhausted. I don't have the confidence to surrender. People" Sun Ce shook his head lightly.

Zhou Yu's eyes froze: "If I don't use it, I will kill it. Long Xiang seems to want to hold on to the city, and Xu Chu's sharp knife used to break the formation is not used to defend the city. It is a waste of everything."

"Gongjin, don't be careless."

Zhang Zhao interrupted Zhou Yu and reminded everyone: "Before the battle today, Long Xiang once said that Zheng Bao was shot down by a flying stone, but Xu Chu's strength is bottomless, could it be the stone thrown by him?"

hiss.
Sun Ce was startled when he heard this, and immediately nodded and told him, "Zibu's words are true. Everyone must be careful when attacking the city tomorrow. Since Xu Chu can throw flying stones across the moat, you should retreat a little further in front."

"My lord, the march is hasty this time. Not only is there not much food and supplies prepared, but also because the ships are used to transfer prisoners, so there are basically no siege equipment. How are you going to attack?" Veteran Cheng Pu asked with his fists clasped.

Sun Ce turned to look at Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, what do you think?"

Zhou Yu replied confidently: "Our army is short of food and grass, so it's not wise to spend it with Long Xiang. We need to use clever tactics to break the city. Fortunately, we have arranged an internal response in advance."

"I made an agreement with Deng Dang that as long as there is chaos in the city, he will try to seize the city gate, and then use fire as an excuse to lead troops into the city. The key now is how to create chaos." Sun Ce frowned.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said: "When Long Xiang saw us retreating, he would not be prepared to attack the city tonight. My lord will divide his troops into four groups and deploy them outside the four gates of Hefei at midnight. At midnight, they will make noises and pretend to attack at the same time. Every half an hour, let's make the defenders exhausted at night, make the people panic and sleep unsteadily, and then attack the city during the day and feint at night, and repeating it several times will definitely cause civil chaos in Hefei."

Sun Ce had to ask: "I'm worried about Lu Su. If he sees through Gong Jin's plot and makes the defenders ignore him, what can he do?"

"It doesn't matter, a few false attacks come true, if the defenders really don't care, we will break the city ahead of time."
