Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 494 Sun Ce's Helplessness

It has been many hours since the fierce battle.

At this time, although most of the troops directly under the Wangzheng in the city were third-tier soldiers of the Tianzhu Camp, their combat strength was outstanding, but their number was no more than a thousand.

So Wang Zheng divided them into three squads, numbered A, B, and C, and then asked Zhou Hui to send defenders to cooperate. Each squad has about 1000 mixed troops, and every half an hour or so of charging, another team will continue to fight. The former group returned to the city for a short rest, and did food and dressing.

This is actually the greatest use of the advantages of the system soldiers. They are brave and fearless, they are first-class strong soldiers, but they are not robots after all, and there are endless laws when they cannot escape human power. Wang Zheng's arrangement is to ensure that his own elite can be in the best physical condition in each wave of battles.

But until now, both Wang Zheng and Sun Ce have changed their old style, and they have not fought in person until now, because they both know each other's abilities. Sun Ce is of course carrying the Overlord Spear with him this time, although he often talks about it. Hanging on to avenge the shame, in fact, there is no certainty of victory in the single-handed fight in my heart.

As for Wang Zheng, although he has some psychological advantages in this regard, he is also unwilling to rush into danger when the soldiers are in fierce battle. To win him, you just need to hold him back.

Of course, although the two of them have never been in battle, they are also thinking of ways to increase their chances of winning. Sun Ce is pretending to be calm and calm, while Wang Zheng is beating the drums himself. Of course, it is like playing too much with doping

Just as it will produce drug resistance, beating drums and cheering should not be frequent. There is a saying in military strategists: "The energy of the drums is easy to decline, which is called the power of numbers is easy to be exhausted."

Therefore, Wang Zheng only beat the drums a few times when he saw his army break through the enemy's first base, or when he saw the enemy's offensive was a little stronger.

On the battlefield several miles around, the battle became more and more intense.

At this time, Sun Cejun's handsome account is also a series of military newspapers.

Of course, it's not just the report on the Shu County battlefield.

At the same time that Wang Zheng received the news of Lu'an Kefu, Sun Ce also received the information, and there were only a few words smeared with blood, nothing more than two words.

Liu'an fell.
Huang Gai was captured.
If the previous news of defeat could not move Sun CE, then when the latter news caught his eyes, he could no longer remain calm.

Huang Gai was captured!
For a moment, Sun Ce even felt a little dizzy.

The voice of the courier under the tent sounded like it sounded in the distance: "Young General, General Huang was captured by the bandits only after he was shot in the face with an arrow by Huang Zhong, who was seriously injured and fell off his horse."

Sun Ce didn't care about this anymore, he only knew that with Huang Gai's temperament, this person who voluntarily gave up his position as Lingling County official and followed Sun Jian to travel all over the country would never surrender to the Yellow Turban bandits.

Then being captured is equivalent to being dead.

What does this represent?
Representing the most precious property left to him by his father Sun Jian, the three generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang have lost two of them now!

The most ridiculous thing is that after paying such a terrible price, he didn't even get a single hair of that scorpion.
Sun Ce's heart is bleeding!

Seeing that Sun Ce's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, the generals at the side glanced at each other for a while, subconsciously closed their breaths and concentrated, not daring to breathe.

The tent was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling.

After a long time, Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "Huang Zhong, hey. It's him again, I will know." He took a deep breath, then waved his hands and said: "The tent is low, Tai Ye is stuffy, open it up Bar."

"promise!"

As the guards lifted up all the cowhide blankets, and the cold evening wind blew in, everyone's spirits were lifted.

The soldiers in the camp outside the tent looked from a distance, and saw the bright lights in the tent, Sun Ce with a solemn expression, sitting upright, with a messenger prostrating in front of his feet, surrounded by fierce generals, although he heard the battle without being surprised, his already handsome face, Coupled with the leisurely posture, it is really like a god and a man.

Sun Ce looked at the other messenger and asked, "Since Lu'an has fallen, the bandits have taken Wu Sheng's army and rushed to Shucheng. How about you?"

Ever since he learned that Huang Zhong had captured Hefei, Sun Ce had made preparations. He knew that even with Huang Gai's power, Lu'an might not be able to defend for long under the attack from both front and back. The north of the county faces mountains and rivers. Between the mountains and rivers, the passable flat roads are only a few miles wide and several miles long. It is a very suitable place for ambush.

The messenger said: "Before the villain set out, the main force of the bandit army had just entered Hefei, and was not close to the key point of our army's ambush. He Du said that although our army is small, we have a favorable location. If you dare to issue a military order, you will not let the bandit generals go." Wu Sheng and Huang Zhong are half a step closer to Shu County! But please, Major General, besiege the city and kill the enemy."

Sun Ce nodded. The generals in this group are He Qi, who was also selected by him like Ling Cao, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai. Although He Qi was a civil servant before, he was fighting against the Kuaiji rebel Zhang Ya Heping Shanyuezhong showed outstanding military talents, and even made great efforts in recruiting Danyang soldiers from Sun Ce. Sun Ce is quite at ease about his ability and loyalty.

The messengers of the ambushes in the north of the city had just retreated, and the military report from the Shu County battlefield over there was sent again.

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows, and asked sideways, "How was the battle going?"

The visitor was sweating profusely, knelt down on the ground, and replied: "The thief general Wei Yan came back from his wounds. The enemy's morale was greatly boosted, and they broke our first base. You are exhausted, and your strength is already a little weak."

Sun Ce was silent for a while, looking at the night outside the tent.As if it had been splashed with ink, the night became darker and darker.The thunder sounded faintly, rolling the clouds.

"What time is it?" he asked suddenly.

"Report to Major General," the soldiers around him returned, "It's almost midnight."

it's time
Sun Ce secretly calculated that it was dusk when Wang Zheng broke through the siege for the first time, it was about You hour, and it has been almost three hours now. He has an advantage in numbers and his soldiers are tired, so why are the Yellow Turban bandits still not tired? Are you tired?

Do not!
They can't be tired!
Sun Ce slammed the case and said decisively: "The thief must be strong!"

Facing the stunned gazes of the crowd, Sun Ce realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly explained: "Although he is an enemy, speaking of it, this general also admires Wang Zheng's ability to train soldiers. Hey, no wonder he named himself Yu. Kou, it turns out that there is a way to ward off thieves!"

"The Xuzhou army is different from other yellow scarf bandits in the world. Not only are they brave and good at fighting, but they are also quite good at night battles. I will look at their past battles. There are many stories about defeating the enemy at night."

"but!"

After a pause, Sun Ce's conversation changed abruptly: "The nearly three-hour fierce battle is not only a test for our army, but it must also be too much for them. Order Ling Cao and Sun Jing to give the general the top Stay for an hour, be sure to wear it until the thief is exhausted!"

"Young General." At this time, the next general couldn't help but said: "Since I guessed that the strength of the bandit army is no longer sustainable, and it is already in a state of struggling, why not send a new army with plenty of strength, wouldn't the chances of winning be greatly increased? "

"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Sending reinforcements at this time is like waiting for nothing."

Sun Ce shook his head and said: "Since Wang Zheng wants to break through, he must also leave some elites behind. If we send fresh troops up at this time, we will have no choice but to let Zhu Zi feel the clues and take the opportunity to escape. What should we do?"

As soon as these words came out, another person in the hall interjected: "Young general, even if Wang Zheng took the opportunity to escape, it would be good for us to capture Shucheng first."

"That's not bad. We've been stuck in the city of Shu County for too long. If we break the city, we can boost our morale."

"Extremely so."

For a while, everyone was chattering, and they all agreed.

They agreed with Sun Ce's beheading plan very much before. If Wang Zheng could be captured or killed, Xuzhou would be at his fingertips. After all, when it comes to power, this Wang Zhoumu is indeed far better than Tao Qian and Liu Bei, but centralization has advantages and disadvantages. Outsiders It seems that if Wang Zheng made a mistake, the impact would be equally great.

Because Wang Zheng has no family, no heirs, and is not even married, and the Xuzhou Army currently has no real number two to replace.

But the problem is that at this time, at that time, Sun Jun was victorious in all battles before, and the situation was extremely strong. Everyone was willing to accompany Sun Ce to dream, to behead Wang Zheng, to defeat Yuan Shu, to march north, and to take down Xu, Yang Erzhou.

Now that Hefei and Lu'an have fallen one after another, seeing that there are more than [-] Xuzhou reinforcements coming soon, even if Sun Ce had already arranged for He Qizhong to intercept them, what if they didn't stop them?

Naturally, the safest thing to do at this time is to take down Shucheng first, and it's the safest thing to take a breather!
Seeing what everyone said, they all thought that breaking the city at this time was worse than beheading, Sun Ce was secretly angry, and just about to explode, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Just now, during the tiger's eye tour, Sun Ce finally remembered the true identities of the generals who took the lead in speaking, which brought him back to his senses, and he also remembered one thing.

You must know that at this time, Sun Ce's single theory of military strength is actually far better than that of the same period in the original history, but what is the reason?

That is why Sun Ce chose to compromise with the big families in the three counties under his jurisdiction this time. With their power, he was able to gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in a short period of time, including recruiting soldiers from Danyang.

What he pays is naturally that the soldiers and horses under his command are no longer pure. Among the generals in the account, many of them are the spokespersons of these aristocratic families.

When the situation was overwhelming before, Sun Ce could make a decision with one word, and these people would be obedient, but now.
But it can no longer be like this!
After all, Sun Ce was not completely dizzy, and he was able to distinguish between the serious and the serious, so he changed his words and said: "That's it, if Wang Zheng doesn't come out of the city after an hour, our army can take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, just like what the lords said, with my support A well-reserved master can beat the enemy to the exhaustion, and it is indeed possible to seize the city in one fell swoop!"

"The major general sees thousands of miles away!"

Seeing that Sun Ce finally agreed, all the generals also breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, they were a little terrified to openly sing against this little overlord, even if they were in a group.

Some people even secretly thought that although the major general had been fighting against Wang Zheng all the time, it was just that the outcome of the two on the battlefield was still uncertain, but in terms of the control over the troops under his command,
In fact, Wang Zheng has already gained the upper hand.

At least as far as they know, when Wang Zheng attacked Linzi, not only did it take longer, but it was also in the severe cold of the approaching winter.

At this time, another human said: "Speaking of which, Huang Zhong has already fought from Longshu to Liu'an, and then transferred from Lu'an to Hefei. Why is there no sign of the Jingzhou army yet? Major General, what about Liu Jingsheng?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Sun Ce again, only to see that Sun Ce's eyes were burning with raging anger, as if he was also aroused by this man to change color due to the depth of his city.

"This old man!"

Sun Ce gritted his teeth and uttered these four simple words, and the overwhelming murderous intent in them was even more creepy: "On the day when the king's government is settled, I will definitely step on Jingxiang, capture this person alive, and kill him." Divide the body by five horses!"

But at this moment, there was a loud "click" outside the tent, and immediately everything on the desk was shaken slightly.

All the generals were startled, the things on the table were shaken by the vibration, they all turned their eyes to look at the night sky, but suddenly there was a muffled thunder, loud and loud.

Sun Ce clenched his fists subconsciously, Qiu Lei shook, could it be that it was going to rain immediately after breaking the city?

Immediately he came back to his senses, forced himself to laugh and said, "On the seventh day of the seventh month, there was a thunderstorm, and the flood flooded to Pingtiangong. Hey, Wang Zheng once said that Zhang Jiao was reincarnated, and he was named General Tiangong. This thunder is not good for him!"

Before the words fell, the generals didn't even have time to agree, another messenger rushed to the tent, probably because he was only looking at the front and didn't pay attention to his feet. After a few laps, he got up disheveled, with a look of bewilderment on his face.

Sun Ce scolded angrily, "Why are you so panicked!"

"Report to Major General." The messenger said: "Wei Yan, the thief general, was fighting against Colonel Sun Jing, when suddenly thunder struck, and under the thunderbolt, the thunder burned his face. Wei Yan shouted to kill, his beard and hair were all on fire, he abandoned his knife for a gun, and stabbed Sun Xiaowei Sun almost fell off his horse on the shoulder of the captain, and retreated when he lost the enemy. Immediately afterwards, Wei Yan urged the horse to advance and killed several captains of our army.

All the generals in the tent were shocked when they heard the words.

Sun Ce was silent for a long while, then sighed, "Unexpectedly, such an unknown soldier has such courage to defy the might of heaven!"

As a super-class military general, Sun Ce relied on his own brave performance countless times to make the morale of the soldiers under his command extremely high, and even the sharpest soldiers were invincible. What are the consequences of this performance.

It was a great good thing for Tianlei to hit Wei Yan. If the opponent died on the spot or even fled in a panic, he could take the opportunity to show that Wang Zheng and the Xuzhou army are not in good order, and they are rebellious officials and traitors recognized by the sky. Tianzhu.
But in the end, the opponent was brave enough to face such a big change, and defeated Sun Jing with injuries. Then it turned out to be auspicious, and the morale of the defenders must be extremely high. Decline for it.

"Wei Yan is not to be underestimated."

Sun Ce stood up, pointed at three or four generals in succession, and said, "I will lead the headquarters to fight, and take the second general Sun Ling back to the camp."

After a pause, he said again: "Hang up the card for exemption."

Is this an active truce?

Everyone looked at each other, and a question popped up in their hearts.

They could understand Sun Ce's thoughts. Han Dang was dead, Sun Jing was injured, Ling Cao was exhausted from the long battle, and the morale was greatly depressed by the Tianlei incident just now. It is understandable for Sun Ce to change his mind and want a truce.

It's just that the two armies are fighting on the battlefield, and the truce is not what one side decides
Wang Zheng made it clear that he wanted to break out of the city, but would he agree?
