Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 474

Sun Ce's mind has been stimulated by the flames in Zhu Wei's camp.

From the gate tower of Danyang City, Sun Ce could clearly see Huang Zhong setting fire to Zhu Wei's barracks, and thousands of soldiers who sent him into the barracks fell into the fire.

Seeing the soldiers engulfed by the flames, Sun Ce seemed to recall the scene of him being burned by the flames in Liyang City. At this moment, Sun Ce clenched his fists tightly, which had become a demon in his heart.

Therefore, Sun Ce went down from the city gate at the first time, took a newly found high-quality spear, straddled his horse, and rushed out with his troops.

At this moment, Sun Ce's heart was full of killing intent, he just wanted to kill and see blood, he wanted to vent, he wanted to vent the fire burning in his heart, not long after, Sun Ce had led his troops to chase to the place where Han Dang's army collapsed .

Seeing Han Dangzheng helplessly gathering the fleeing defeated soldiers, he had no way to continue chasing and killing Huang Zhongzhi's army.

A look of ferocity flashed in Sun Ce's eyes, and then Sun Ce charged forward with his horse, assassinated more than [-] deserters in an instant with a spear, and made the scattered soldiers feel chilled when they saw them. They all slowed down.

But Sun Ce seemed to have vented some anger, and calmed down a bit, and then Sun Ce shouted an order that if he didn't return to the team within twenty breaths, he would be killed on the spot according to military law.

So under the shouts of Sun Ce's personal soldiers all around, the soldiers led by Han Dang, who had been running around, gradually gathered together again.

But Sun Ce couldn't wait for this. Seeing that the defeated soldiers returned to the army again, he asked Han Dang to continue to gather the remnants here. By the way, he took charge of the follow-up logistics from Danyang City. After transporting troops and horses, he led the troops to Huang Zhong chased after him.

Now Sun Ce has at least 3000 troops behind him, except for the [-] troops he assigned to Huang Gai to attack Wang Yuyan's army stronghold and the [-] troops brought by Han Dang, almost all the remaining troops in Danyang City up.

At this moment, Sun Ce's heart was full of killing intent towards Huang Zhong.

He will never let Huang Zhong calmly use a military trap to wipe out nearly 4000 of his troops, and then leave safely with his soldiers and horses. The flames burning in Huang Zhong's military camp almost made Sun Ce general Li Yang. All the hatred that had been experienced was aroused, and then placed on Huang Zhong.

But at this moment, Huang Zhong's army had already left for a period of time, and Huang Zhong's army didn't have much food and supplies to delay the delivery, and Sun Ce led the troops out from Danyang City, and helped Han Dang gather the routs, which also delayed a lot of time.

In this way, Sun Ce led the army to chase and kill for a while, but he could only find traces of Huang Zhong's army, but failed to see a trace of Huang Zhong's soldiers.

Today, Sun Ce suddenly sent troops to raid Huang Zhong's army stronghold at Chen Shi in the morning, but now it is already noon, so the sky is actually clear, and it can even be said to be a bit hot.

And the flames burning in Huang Zhongjun's stronghold seemed to be a bonfire on the flat ground. While releasing heat waves to the surroundings, it also shot up into the sky with thick smoke, making it possible to see this side for miles around. mutation.

As the smoke filled the air, there seemed to be a smell of burnt smoke and barbecue in the air.

But all Sun Ce's soldiers who smelled this smell just felt a sense of disgust in their hearts, because the smell of meat came from the corpses of their compatriots being roasted by flames.

Sun Ce smelled this smell, and his anger became even worse, because he had smelled this smell when he was in Liyang, and he had even smelled it on himself, so he couldn't help being a little more angry and urged The soldiers behind him accelerated their pursuit.

Soon, scouts on horseback came back to report that they had found the traces of the soldiers led by Huang Zhong, and they were probably more than a mile away from where Sun Ce was now chasing.

However, the direction Huang Zhong retreated was to the north, and his goal seemed to be in the direction of Dantu County.

Going in this direction, it is gradually approaching the Yangtze River. There are not many hills and forests around, and there is nothing to ambush. It doesn't look like it is trying to lure Sun Ce's army into the ambush.

Although Sun Ce's heart was filled with anger at the moment, he still retained a bit of reason in his mind.

If Huang Zhong's army retreated to the mountainous areas of Jiuhua Mountain, Huang Mountain, and Tianmu Mountain in the southwest of Danyang City, then Sun Ce would definitely suspect that Wang Yuyan had set up an ambush here and deliberately let Huang Zhong lead him into a trap.

Then Sun Ce may be a little more careful, because Sun Ce has discovered through scouts that Wang Yuyan sent Zhang Ying, Chen Heng and other nearly ten thousand soldiers to the southwest, so Sun Ce guessed that Wang Yuyan might set up an ambush in the southwest. Sun Ce naturally I will be particularly careful when using troops to the southwest.

In fact, in the southwest and south areas of Danyang City are the mountainous areas of southern Anhui and western Zhejiang. The three mountain systems of Jiuhua Mountain, Huangshan Mountain and Tianmu Mountain spread in parallel, forming the current Jingxian, Shexian, Yixian and other mountainous areas. The mountain area controlled by the Shankoshi clan thieves was almost the original scope of activities of the Shangyoshi clan commander Shuai Zulang.

Of course, Zu Lang has followed Zhu Wei to Yuzhang now, but most of the gaps left by him are occupied by Jin Qi and Mao Gan who stayed in She County back then.

At the same time, more mountain bandits appeared in the area after Zu Lang left, which also refilled the original territory left by Zu Lang after he left.

Therefore, this area still does not belong to the chaotic area controlled by the government, and the mountains are not suitable for large troops to pass through. Therefore, in Jiangdong, only Danyang City, Jurong County, Moling County and other areas close to the Yangtze River are the main military roads. where.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yu sealed off Moling County, making it difficult for Wang Yuyan's army to bypass it easily.

But now, according to Sun Ce's scouts, Wang Yuyan sent Zhang Ying and Chen Heng to the southwest of Danyang City. Apart from preventing Sun Ce's army from withdrawing into the mountains and triggering a long-term siege in the mountains, it is also possible that they were lying in ambush there. He waited for the opportunity to lead Sun Ce's army over, and then defeated Sun Ce's army with the help of ambushes.

But since Sun Ce was vigilant in advance, of course he would not be easily attracted by Zhu Wei's army to those areas suitable for ambush.

But now Huang Zhong led his troops to retreat in the direction of Dantu, which relieved Sun Ce's vigilance a bit. Although Sun Ce didn't know that Huang Zhong's troops were not weak, why he refused to stop and fight, but chose to retreat to avoid the battle However, in this direction, there should be no terrain on which to set up an ambush.

Sun Ce had also considered in his heart that Huang Zhong might have followed orders, because Wang Yuyan didn't want to waste his troops and fight recklessly with the soldiers driven by Sun Ce. Crash, so you can win without a fight.

So now that Huang Zhong took the initiative to retreat, it should be to avoid a war and waste his troops in vain.

However, no matter what, Sun Ce wanted to find Zhu Wei's army and fight hard a few times, which could not only weaken the strength of Zhu Wei's army, but also reduce the strength of Sun Ce's side, and alleviate Sun Ce's army's demand for food.

So now that Huang Zhong refuses to stop and engage in the battle, and the direction he is retreating does not seem like there is a possibility of an ambush, then Sun Ce naturally refuses to give up and continues to pursue...
