Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 318 Chapter 317 Give it a try and fight to the death

The ranking list of 24 generals includes one Lu, two Zhao, three Dianwei, four passes, five horses and six Zhang Fei, Huang Xu, Sun Tai and two Xiahou.

Sun Ce and Taishi Ci were ranked second only to Xu Chu, and ahead of the two Xiahou.

Of course, it's possible that this thing is purely for rhyme purposes.

After all, Northern Kingdom generals like Yan Liangwen Chou were ranked 21st and 22nd. At least, in this dimension, the rankings were unfair.

On the battlefield in front of us, it could be seen with the naked eye that Sun Ce and Wen Chou actually only had a slight upper hand in the fight.

Lu Meng, who originally cooperated with Sun Ce to fight Wen Chou, was squeezed out of the battle circle by the Lu Jun rushing from the front. He could only parry first and hold down his position.

But even so, Wen Chou didn't gain any advantage as an ambush party, and in the collision between the Overlord Spear and the Soul-Severing Spear, Wen Chou was obviously weaker.

Damn it, didn’t Wen Yuan say that Marquis Wen teased Sun Ce under the city of Guangling? How could he tease Sun Ce to such an extent?
Yan Liang had never fought against Lu Bu, nor had he seen what Lu Bu actually did, but Wen Chou knew about it.

In order to conquer him, the two of them had a fight.

He admitted that Lu Bu was indeed brave, but if he met on the battlefield, he would not be able to use the word "joke" to deal with him.

Based on this reasoning, my martial arts must be superior to Sun Ce's. Today's posture is unexpectedly unbeatable.

Oh, that proves that Marquis Wen didn't try his best, and Wen Chou felt a little uncomfortable.

As for Yan Liang, the situation was far worse than this one.

Taishi Ci, as a fierce general who fought Sun Ce against Lily, was definitely on the same level, and it was no problem to take care of Yan Liang, not to mention that there was Dong Xi beside him to support him.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for the help of the sergeant beside him, Yan Liang would have been killed in twenty rounds at most.

Yan Liang was very surprised. Didn't he say that there were not many people in Jiangdong who could fight? Liao Shen could be dealt with with only 800 people. Wenyuan made a mistake!
Fortunately, the sergeant on the side kept restraining Tai Shici, who was wielding his halberds. In the end, he could not concentrate on the battle. Although the second battle was the first, the fight was [-]-[-].

At this time, Zhou Yu mobilized people to dig out the soil to extinguish the three lines of fire poured by tung oil. After Jiangdong Army got a new force, its fighting spirit became even more vigorous.

Morale is a very mysterious thing.

When they were ambushed at the beginning, Jiangdong's troops were indeed in a panic, but in the end, the budget was too high for a strong attack, so the morale of the troops would not be shaken.

However, after the battle, it was discovered that the combat effectiveness of Lu's army was far inferior to that of the one under Guangling City. They tended to become more courageous as they fought. Now that Zhou Yu's reinforcements had been added, morale began to rise.

On the other hand, Lu Jun seemed to have taken a sudden turn for the worse.

"Brothers, kill them!" Han Dang slashed with his long sword, as if he had no enemy but no self.

Behind him, Jiangdong's army roared and charged upwards, almost ready to fight back.

The battlefield was so fierce that even the movement behind Qianqi's appearance could be ignored.

Rush in from the middle formation and carve out a path, in order to break the formation or open a passage.

The current situation is that Jiangdong soldiers are behind and Lu Jun is in front. If they charge straight, they will easily injure their own people. Moreover, once the speed stops, the advantage of the cavalry will no longer exist.

According to the pre-arranged plan, this cavalry was divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right, and began to harvest the heads of Jiangdong Army along the edge of the battle circle.

Just a charge was enough for them to harvest the heads of hundreds of Jiangdong troops.

With the appearance of the cavalry, Jiangdong Army's Ruhong momentum suddenly stagnated.

The greatest role of cavalry on the battlefield, especially the battlefield like this, does not even matter how many people it can kill, but the psychological pressure it brings to the Jiangdong Army.

At this time, the indomitable Jiangdong Army began to be a little hesitant. They would be afraid that the cavalry would continue to fight from the edge after turning back, so they would consciously squeeze in.

The direct consequence of this mentality is confusion in the formation.

"Don't be confused! Don't panic!"

As a veteran on the battlefield and one of the four veterans who followed Sun Jian to conquer Dong, Han Dang could see the intimidating effect of the cavalry at a glance. While cruising towards the edge, he shouted, "Pikemen, spearmen, move outside quickly! Gong Jin, come on." Right, I turn to the left!"

Han Dang commanded in an orderly manner. Once the plan was made, he acted like the wind.

As the number one in the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu was not only a man of strategy, he was also a man who could fight on the battlefield. He waved his sword and fought his way out, calling the spearmen to the outside.

"Brother, help me!" Due to the influx of Jiangdong's army, the surrounding sergeants were no longer able to share the pressure from Taishi Ci for Yan Liang. Rather than losing his head, it was not shameful to call for reinforcements.

"Hahaha, is this Yan Liang, the general of the Northern Kingdom's 70-strong army? No!" Taishi Ci snorted coldly, and danced his halberds more and more fiercely.

"Brothers, fight to the death with the bandit army!" In response, Wen Chou could only tell Yan Liang in this way that he really couldn't get away.

Although he was one-on-one, the man in front of him was Jiangdong's Little Overlord, and the Overlord's Spear in his hand came at him like a wave. The two of them were stuck together, and it was not easy to parry. They could not just walk away.

Even a single distraction could lead to death.

tearing~
Taishi Ci's double halberds were extremely flexible. Yan Liang had a sense of seeing Dian Wei in the White Horse City. Finally, he couldn't keep up with his speed and was shot by Dong Xi, and his arm was cut open, and blood flowed out.

Yan Liang was in great pain and gritted his teeth to hold on. There were mountains of swords and seas of fire coming at him. I didn’t believe that I could die in an ambush!

In fact, Yan Liang was not the only one who suffered. From Lu Su's perspective, it could be clearly seen that the ambush was so miserable that his own soldiers fell one by one. Even with the addition of cavalry, due to insufficient numbers, In addition, Han Dang and Zhou Yu fought tooth and nail and really didn't get any favors.

If this situation continues, not only will the camp be unable to be saved, but even Yan Liang Wen Chou's life will be threatened.

He pulled out the ring-headed sword from the waist of the soldiers on the side, and shouted in the astonished eyes of everyone: "Soldiers, listen to the order, if we lose the battle tonight, not only will Shouchun be unable to be saved, but we will also be beyond redemption. Rush down and help in the battle!"

"Kill it!"

Lu Su was really brave. He had always been a civil servant, and with his courage, he rushed down to fight with a team of 200 people to protect him.

"Kill, rush up and fight with the bandit army!" At the same time, the soldiers in the rear who were already too tired to open their eyes all picked up their weapons and rushed forward to help.

Everyone knows that if Sun Ce's army breaks through the stronghold tonight, they will also become prisoners. Whether they can survive or not depends entirely on Sun Ce's whim.

When the Huainan Army faced Sun Ce, they would actually be more willing to fight to the death.

All these are due to the fact that when he was still under Yuan Shu, he attacked Lujiang and killed too many people. The Lu family, one of the four major families in Jiangdong, even nearly suffered annihilation.

The newly arrived soldiers were not strong in combat power and were obviously tired, but there were tens of thousands of them, and just the sound of fighting could give people a feeling of panic.

Sun Ce didn't know whether it was true or not. He could only see new Lu troops coming out from all directions. He calculated in his mind that even if the opponent was as weak as the soldiers in front of him, after all, the tiger could not stand up to the wolves, and he had to withdraw before the encirclement. He immediately shouted: "Get out! Get out!"

"Retreat!" Sun Ce's army ordered, and the surrounding people began to sing, and the army quickly retreated.

Lu Jun did not dare to pursue them and allowed them to leave without hesitation.

Now, thank God that they are willing to leave. They are really afraid that the other party will play to death. Wen Chou and Yan Liang do not even doubt that their 5000 people may not be able to win if they all fight.

The scene was a mess.

The sky is already turning white.

Seeing Jiang Dongjun's figure disappear, many of the sergeants became weak and collapsed directly to the ground.

Lu Su looked at the scene in front of him and wiped the blood on his cheeks. He felt extremely sad in his heart. He couldn't imagine what it would be like without yesterday's letter.

"Are you okay?" Wen Chou rode his horse to Yan Liang's side.

"Damn it, that guy with the double halberds is so lucky. Even if I fight alone, I don't have the confidence to defeat him. There is a young general beside me to help. I almost miss my brother." Yan Liang covered the wound on his left arm with lingering fear.

"Jiang Dongjun is awesome." Wen Chou looked at the corpses scattered on the ground. There were obviously more corpses on his side than on the other side, and he shook his head with emotion.

"What a shame, they actually expected our night attack early. How did they get the news!" On the way back, it was already daylight. Sun Ce looked at the soldiers behind him, nearly half of them folded, feeling extremely depressed.

Although it was a big victory tonight, it was far from the defeat he expected in one battle.

Moreover, the other party's arrangement was obviously made in advance. If it were not for time constraints, they would not be able to dig traps and set up trenches in the stockade, fearing that the damage would be more serious.

"I also find this strange." Zhou Yu frowned.Logically speaking, no matter how cautious Lu Su was in using his troops, the most he could do was arrange more soldiers and horses to patrol the area.

But the other party was fully armed, so they clearly knew that there would be a bloody battle at night, so they must have received the news in advance.

who could it be
"Could it be someone who ran away from Shouchun City?" Lu Meng guessed suspiciously.

"Impossible, Demou surrounded Shouchun with water. Even at night, he arranged soldiers and horses to watch outside the four gates. They can't get out!" Han Dang directly denied Lu Meng's guess.

They couldn't understand this matter, but they didn't speculate on how a traitor might appear on their side. After all, these people had followed Sun Ce through life and death.

If the attack misses, the opponent will be prepared, and it will not be so easy to strike again.

When we returned to Huo County, after counting, we found that more than 200 people were lost in this battle.

If Lu Jun is defeated, it will be worthwhile. The problem is that Dazhai is still there, which is very troublesome.

Even more troublesome things have come. Taishi Ci ran in, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, there are rumors in the city that Lin Mo has returned to Pengcheng, organized rescue forces, and claimed to drive us out of Huainan by the end of this month!"

"what?"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at each other in confusion.

The news of Ma Teng's defeat did come back, but he came back too quickly.

By the end of the month, does that mean that he has already led people into the Xuyi area?
Who is accompanying the army? Is Lu Bu here?
When he thought of Lu Bu, Sun Ce's always calm eyes at the foot of Guangling City came to mind.

"It's just gravel, not half as good as me." After saying this, he kicked himself so hard that he plowed several feet into the ground.

Damn, the image is so strong!

Sun Ce dared to attack the three counties of Huainan, so he was naturally mentally prepared to face Lu Bu, but that was not what he looked like now.

At this time, the army had not yet digested the territory of the three counties and had barely broken through Lu Su. It was afraid that it would not be able to parry Lin Mo and Lu Bu.

A strategist with an extremely intelligent mind and a fierce general with unparalleled strength.

No, if they come back at this time, aren't they afraid that the Sizhou they just acquired will be unstable? If they mobilize troops and horses from Xuzhou, aren't they afraid that Cao Jun will attack?

This was completely different from what Zhuge Liang had guessed before, and Sun Ce felt that he had been deceived.

Maybe they were worried that Lu Jun would cross Anyang Mountain from Anfeng to attack Jiangxia, so they deliberately let themselves be the spearhead.

All kinds of thoughts came out of thin air, and the little bully felt that the situation was not good.

Withdraw troops?
Although this thought only passed by for a moment, Sun Ce felt that it was too inappropriate. The sword had been unsheathed and there was no possibility of taking it back.

The three counties of Huainan are important to Lu Lin, but they are even more important to him. They are the only hope of marching into the Central Plains, and they must not be given up!

"Gong Jin, what do you think?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu.

Whether as a general or as a counselor, Zhou Yu's status in the army was not comparable to that of Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, or even Jia Xu.

In the Jiangdong Army, veteran generals such as Cheng Pu and Han Dang, who had served under Sun Ce, all served Zhou Yu.

Last night's battle was the most typical example.

"When we received the report of the Guanzhong battle, Lu Jun defeated the ten coalition forces in mid-July. Even if Lin Mo rushed back to Xuzhou non-stop, it would take at least a month to gather troops and horses to be ready. It is absolutely impossible. Now that we have entered Xuyi, I am afraid this is just Lin Mo’s trick."

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, everyone looked solemn, and then nodded in agreement.

"However, the story of Lin Mo returning to Pengcheng is probably true. After all, no one expected that all the 10,000+ soldiers and horses of the Ten Divisions in Guanzhong would be wiped out by him in a few months." After reading the battle report, he just knew that Lin Mo A divorce tactic was used, but Zhou Yu didn't know exactly how it was used.

But deep down, I was still amazed at his methods.

Sun Ce didn't care about the latter words, but the previous words made him feel a lot more relaxed.

After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "The Lu army has been marching for days and fell into the trap of exhausting the army. Coupled with the bloody battle last night, the army's strength will definitely not be restored in a short period of time.

I want to take advantage of the fact that their troops are exhausted and have no danger to fall back on, so I can use the soldiers of Shouchun Army Stronghold to capture them in one go. As long as these soldiers and horses are eaten, Liu Ye's few soldiers and horses will not be able to stop us at all. . "

It sounds reckless.

But it turns out that subconscious ideas are sometimes the quickest and most effective.

After Zhou Yu took a deep breath, he nodded and said: "Also, my lord, please write to Cao Cao, informing Xiao Guan that his troops have been restrained by our army in Huainan, and inviting him to attack Xuzhou. After that, we only need a corner of Guangling."

"Cao Cao?"

Sun Ce frowned, "Will he agree?"

"Most definitely!"

Zhou Yu said categorically, "After Lu Lin captured Sizhou, Yu and Yanzhou were attacked from three sides. If he didn't take the opportunity to fight back, he would never have such an opportunity in the future.

Now, he has gained Yizhou, but Liu Beishang is confronting Xia Houyuan at the foot of Fukong Mountain. If he can take the initiative to withdraw to Nanjun and give up Wuling, it will not be difficult for both sides to stop their troops.

After all, Liu Bei was suffering from scabies, and Lu Lin was the one who was worried. Cao Cao understood this. "

After this analysis, Sun Ce gained confidence.

Cao Cao has absolute reasons to send troops to the Central Plains. This battle is inevitable for the two of them. If he takes the initiative to contain a Lu army, it is equivalent to sharing the pressure of Cao Cao head-on. It is better than dealing with Lu Lin alone. Bar?

As for Anfeng, take it if you can. If you can't get it now, it won't be a big problem. There are only a few thousand soldiers and horses in the city, and it is cut off from Xuzhou by Jiujiang and Lujiang. It is just an isolated city.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce said firmly: "Come here, take my tiger talisman to Dazhai and mobilize [-] troops. We must arrive at Huo County before midnight tonight, rest for a day, and attack Shuanghegou tomorrow!"

"Here!"

Zhou Yu's general strategy is absolutely correct, using the most powerful Cao Cao to share the pressure on his own side. Only in this way can it be possible to block the attack of Lu Lin's army.

Moreover, only by eating the soldiers and horses in Lu Su's hands can the defenders in Shouchun City give up their resistance, and the Huainan Gang have a chance to surrender to him.

This time, it was broad daylight when Jiang Dongjun left Dazhai outside Shouchun City.

Liu Ye, who was on the horse trail at Chengguan, looked at this scene and felt a little anxious.

The Marquis wanted to defeat the enemy and stabilize the morale of the army this time, but Sun Ce seemed to have made up his mind and had to eat the soldiers and horses brought by Lu Zijing. If this continued, they would definitely be defeated.

But now I have assembled only more than 4000 troops in the city, and I have no strong generals at hand. Even if I want to break through the Jiangdong military stronghold to rescue, I can't do it.

Liu Ye is very distressed. He can do nothing now except pass the news to Lu Su while Jiangdong is unable to siege the city.

Moreover, he also knew very well that once Lu Su was defeated, Shouchun City could not be defended at all.

It was even clearer that Lin Mo's reinforcements would not arrive in a short time.

There were countless ideas in his mind, including pretending to surrender, or surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao, but in the end, they all felt immature.

To be fair, the elite soldiers and horses that Sun Ce brought this time were beyond what ordinary armies could handle. In addition, Lu Su had been rushing the army for days, and time was so tight that he didn't even have time to set up defenses and traps.

The only way is to withdraw.

As long as their army is not completely dispersed, they can still form a certain deterrent force against Sun Ce, which can be regarded as buying time for Lin Mo.

On the other hand, he also knew that if Cao Cao held back for a long time, he would definitely smell this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as Sun Ce could delay it for two to three months, Cao Cao's army would definitely start a war in the Central Plains.

This game of chess, both in terms of the immediate situation and the overall overall situation, seems to be very unfavorable to one's own side.

Yunwen, all I can do is to stick to Shouchun. I hope you can arrive earlier.

Otherwise, once the two counties of Huainan fall, Xuzhou will be attacked from both sides. How will you clean up the mess?
