Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Fifty miles away from where Han Dang was buried, Sun Ce's eyelids suddenly twitched, and he felt a sense of panic in his heart.

On the horse's back, Sun Ce couldn't help but said, "Gongjin, do you think Han Dang's men have been chasing him for so long, is there any danger?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said, "Probably not. According to the news from Tan Ma, I'm afraid he has already fought Li Jun at this time."

"Well, I hope so." Sun Zhizhi said reassuringly, "Oh, by the way, Gongjin, do you want to speed up?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "It's better to advance steadily, in case Xu Shu has a backup, he can still react."

Seeing Zhou Yu's answer, Sun Ce fell silent for a while, but his heart was still uneasy, and he couldn't think of what went wrong.

Just as Sun Ce continued to advance absent-mindedly, he suddenly galloped towards him. "Report!! It's not good, General Han Dang has been ambushed."

"what?"

"what?"

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were shocked when they heard the news, and couldn't help but exclaim.

After being shocked, Sun Ce said, "Hurry up and send an order to let the army advance at full speed, and we must rescue Han Dang's troops."

When the scouts got the order, they hurried away, intending to convey the order to the generals of the various armies.

"Wait!" When the scouts were about ten meters away, Zhou Yu called out loudly to stop, and hurriedly advised Zhou Yu: "Bo Fu, don't rush into the army. Since Xu Shu has an ambush, he must have taken precautions against our army."

"At that time, the rescue will fail, but they will be surrounded, then it will really be a big deal."

Hearing this, Sun Ce calmed down temporarily, and said, "Gongjin, tell me quickly, is there any way to safely rescue Han Dang?"

Zhou Yu said: "Since Xu Shu has already made arrangements, in order to avoid being ambushed, our army should be divided into several divisions and advance rapidly several miles apart."

"In this way, even if one of them is ambushed, the follow-up army can arrive and break out of the siege without causing the whole army to be surrounded."

The situation was critical, and Sun Ce didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly adopted Zhou Yu's suggestion to keep the armies at a distance and move forward quickly.

As soon as Sun Ce made a move, it didn't take long for Xu Shu to receive the news. Because the plan was completed, all the generals performed their duties. They were leading the army or fighting or defending. Those who stayed by Xu Shu's side were only some reserve generals. , to deal with emergencies.

In a small canyon that is easy to defend and difficult to attack outside Han Dang's encirclement, Xu Shu's camp is located here, and Tanqi is constantly running back and forth.

Chapter 636 Rescue

In the handsome tent, Xu Shu was resting with his eyes closed. These days, in order to lure Zhou Yu and Sun Ce into his tricks, he has been forgetting to eat and sleep, and some details of the plan have been changed.

Zhao Jin's retreating army went back and forth three times alone. As for the rest of the details, Xu Shu did everything by himself, for fear of leaving a flaw and causing all the painstaking efforts of these days to be wasted.

At this time, most of it was finally completed, and Xu Shu could squint his eyes and rest for a while, but the army was mobilized frequently, so how much time would he have to rest.

No, as soon as Xu Shu made a faint snore, a scout rushed in. "Report! Zhou Yu and Sun Ce mobilized the army in batches, heading towards the encirclement."

Xu Shu had already opened his eyes when the sound of footsteps entered the account. Hearing the news, Xu Shu frowned slightly and fell into thought.

After a while, Xu Shu said, "Understood, go and inform the armies, let them act according to the original plan, and nothing will change."

Although Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's actions were somewhat different from Xu Shu's expectations, Xu Shu still decided to deal with it unchanged, because all this could not change the overall situation.

Less than fifteen miles away from Handang, Xu Gaozheng led an army of more than ten thousand, ambushing on both sides of the road, with his eyes fixed on the front.

At this moment, the army led by Chen Wu slowly appeared in front of Xu Gao's eyes, making his heart tense and his breathing slowed down a lot.

Xu Gao was selected together with Zhu Da. He was not the best in both civil and martial arts, but they were almost the same.

Someone like him will either achieve extraordinary things in the future, or be unknown, because there are very few all-round warriors in ancient times.

Maybe that's why Xu Shu kept him by his side and kept pointing him out. This time, Xu Gao asked him to be an ambush. But there are still a few waves behind him, so it should be considered a chance for him to fight.

It doesn't matter much if Xu Gao fails in the ambush here, but if he wants to lead the battle in the future, he may have to live some long days.

Closer to home, when Chen Wu's army passed halfway, Xu Gao suddenly stood up and raised his sword and shouted: "Soldiers, the enemy has entered an ambush, kill!"

Hearing the order, Li Jun, who had already ambushed with slightly sore hands and feet, quickly pressed towards Chen Wu's army like locusts crossing the border, trying to devour them.

With the sudden shout of killing, Chen Wu also immediately stopped the horse, raised his sword and shouted for command. "Don't mess around, the army behind you will come immediately, kill them!"

The soldiers on both sides were prepared, so they didn't panic. Under the leadership of their respective generals, they fought together.

There was a big battle here, and Huang Gai, who was behind him, heard the news, and immediately led his army to speed up, preparing to support Chen Wu.

Half an hour later, Huang Gai led more than [-] troops to join, but Xu Gao was outnumbered, so he could only reserve his troops and retreat.

Huang Gai and Chen Wu defeated and ambushed Li Jun, and because they were worried about Han Dang's subordinates, they did not dare to stay longer. After a brief rest, they immediately led the army to continue advancing.

But before the two led the army to three li, suddenly there was a burst of shouting, countless soldiers and horses rushed out, and there was a melee for a while.

When the army behind the two heard the news, they went up again in emergency support, and this went on and on again. When they reached the outside of Han Dang's encirclement, Sun Ce and others joined forces and were exhausted.

Outside the encirclement, Sun Ce saw that there was no sound inside. Although worried in his heart, he ordered the army to rest and prepare to recover.

Beside the fire, Sun Ce glanced at the surrounding generals, and said, "Everyone was ambushed along the way, it seems that Xu Shu had already prepared, all of this is a trap."

"For today's plan, Ce thinks that the best policy is to rescue Han Dang as soon as possible and retreat. Therefore, after the rest, all the ministries rushed to the encirclement line desperately. Wherever a corner was torn, all the troops poured in, rescued Han Dang, and immediately led the army to retreat. , you can make sense."

Sun Ce's method was quite thoughtful in breaking Xu Shu's strategy quickly, because as long as he was fast enough, Li Jun might be caught off guard.

Right now there is no other better way, even Zhou Yu, after a short thought, agreed to this proposal.

When a consensus was reached, Sun Ce did not waste time, arranged the order of the attack positions of the generals, let them disperse, and launched the attack in a quarter of an hour.

When the generals were gone, Zhou Yu said, "Bo Fu, the city may have fallen. If you save Han Dang, the next step is to return to Yangzhou, or what?"

Xiapi City fell, and Sun Ce had already expected it in his heart. After all, it was just a fluke to defend the city with a thousand soldiers.

Sun Ce was helpless, because there were too many soldiers and horses left, and they, the rescue army, would be in danger. However, given the current situation, Sun Ce didn't care anymore. After all, a city is easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

Hearing Zhou Yu's mention at this time, Sun Ce couldn't help but sighed, "What else can I do? Let's go back to Yangzhou. Maybe in the future, we will have a chance to enter the Central Plains only after we have rectified Baiyue."

Seeing Sun Ce's words, Zhou Yu remained silent for a while. This battle can be said to have exhausted Sun Ce's previous vigor, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

The two faced each other speechlessly, and not long after, the horn of attack sounded, and the two turned to look away, worried.

You know, they have exhausted most of their physical strength after chasing all the way. Although they took a short rest, it was just a breather, and the fatigue on their bodies could not be eliminated.

However, Li Jun set up an ambush for a long time, and he was waiting for work at leisure. He did not have an advantage in fighting, so he fell into a disadvantage.

But Han Dang had to be rescued, so Sun Ce resolutely launched an attack knowing that he would suffer heavy losses, because as long as he was delayed for a moment, Han Dang would be more dangerous.

Under the leadership of the generals, Sun Jun attacked the encirclement regardless of casualties. Li Jun was under great pressure for a while, but he could barely hold on.

After a long time, Li Jun adapted to Sun Jun's attack method and began to launch a small-scale counterattack, and Sun Jun's casualties increased rapidly.
