Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

Cao Shuo?

Sun Ce's face darkened, is this guy so confident?He actually went to the hinterland of Danyang County to inspect the people's sentiments, which simply doesn't take him seriously.

You, the emperor of the Wei country, came to my Wu country to inspect the people.

what is this?humiliate me?

Lu Su thought for a while, and reminded: "Your Majesty, I think Cao Shuo's army went deep alone, there must be some conspiracy."

Sun Ce gritted his teeth angrily, Cao Shuo was so confident that he didn't take him seriously.

His [-] troops from the state of Wu confronted Tai Shici here, and Cao Shuo, the king of the country, went around behind them.

"Come here, inform Gongjin, let him lead the navy to retreat, enter Zhongjiang, and prepare to encircle Cao Shuo with me."

Lu Su persuaded: "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Sun Ce asked, "What's wrong?"

"Cao Shuo's move is obviously to attract the attention of our army, otherwise there is no need for him to reveal his whereabouts."

Sun Ce said coldly: "No matter what the purpose is, even if I don't want Danyang County, I have to lose Cao Shuo's two front teeth."

Seeing that Sun Ce insisted on besieging Cao Shuo, Lu Su suggested, "Your Majesty, we need to leave enough manpower in Moling to prevent Tai Shici and others from chasing us."

Sun Ce looked at the soldiers and asked, "Who dares to stay and intercept Tai Shici?"

"The final general is willing to share the worries for the lord!"

Han Dang, Quan Rou, Wei Jing, and Sun Yi stood up together.

Sun Ce thought for a while, looked at Han Dang and said, "General Han stays here. I'll give you [-] troops to defend Moling. If Tai Shici divides his troops to go south, you can sneak attack the opponent's back."

"The last general takes orders!"

After Sun Ce arranged the affairs in the city, he led an army of [-] to Liyang at night, together with Quan Rou, Lu Su, Wei Jing, and Sun Yi.

When Sun Ce's army passed through the two counties of Shicheng and Danyang, they directly took away [-]% of the troops in the two counties. When they arrived in Wuhu, Sun Ce already had an army of [-].

"Your Majesty, why do you want me to withdraw?"

In Wuhu City, Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce with a puzzled face. Sun Ce explained: "Cao Shuo led an army of [-] and suddenly surrounded Liyang. I think this is a very rare opportunity. As long as we can hit Cao Shuo hard in Liyang, Cao Shuo's armies will surely flee without a fight."

Zhou Yu asked in surprise, "Is Cao Shuo really here?"

Sun Ce nodded, then took out the map of Danyang County, and said, "Gongjin, Cao Shuo's army has been stationed outside Liyang City, and has not attacked the city. What do you think he intends?"

Zhou Yu replied without hesitation: "Cao Shuo definitely wants to take advantage of his cavalry and prepare for a field battle with our army."

Apart from this, Zhou Yu really couldn't think of any other possibility. He went deep alone to attract his own attention, and staying in the city was the most dangerous.

Huang Gai said: "Your Majesty, our army has gathered a hundred thousand troops in Wuhu. If we can quickly defeat Cao Shuo, the fighting in Danyang County will definitely ease."

Sun Ce said: "Soldiers are expensive, so let's send troops to Liyang and besiege Cao Shuo's camp."

At noon, Sun Ce's [-] troops marched by land and water, and surrounded Cao Shuo's camp at noon.

Lu Su frowned and said, "Your Majesty, will this be too easy? When the other party saw our army coming, they didn't even send anyone out of the stronghold."

Sun Ce also began to worry. Cao Shuo was too calm. Could it be that there is no Cao Shuo in this camp?

"Report, Cao Shuo personally led a thousand cavalry out of the stronghold, singled out!"

"Ok?"

Sun Ce was stunned. Are the kings of a country so self-respecting?He even led a thousand cavalry out of the camp?He wouldn't think his cavalry was invincible.

"Count up the [-] cavalry and come out of the village with me."

When Sun Ce came to the front of the formation, he saw Cao Shuo on the opposite side, he was very surprised, it was really him.

Cao Shuo smiled and said, "Nephew Bo Fu, are you safe and sound?"

When Sun Ce heard the word "virtuous nephew", his face turned livid. Cao Shuo often took advantage of him when the eighteen princes were begging for Dong.

"Brother Cao went deep into Danyang County alone, he didn't come to reminisce about the past, did he?"

"Those three younger sisters of yours live quite well in Luoyang!"

"..."

Sun Ce was furious in an instant, it's really abominable that he even mentioned this at this time.

Sending his three younger sisters to him was a shame in his life.

"Actually, Mrs. Wu is pretty good with me!"

Sun Ce said angrily, "Sure enough, you took him away!"

"In a few days, your younger brother will be born. Do you want to go to Luoyang for a wedding?"

"Dog thief, I'm going to kill you!"

Sun Ce sat down on his horse and charged Cao Shuo with his spear.

"Your Majesty..." Sun Ce's generals were horrified.

Cao Shuo's martial arts were superior to Lu Bu's, and Sun Ce couldn't beat Tai Shici, let alone capture Tai Shici's Cao Shuo alive.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to meet Sun Ce!"

Zhang Liao, behind Cao Shuo, rushed out directly.

"Yanmen Zhang Wenyuan is here!"

Sun Ce sneered, it was just Zhang Liao, he didn't take it seriously.

"when!"

The two fought hard, and Sun Ce looked terrified.

The tip of his spear was cut off by Zhang Liao.

A weapon made of refined iron is so useless...

"The king is in danger!"

Huang Gai, Sun Yi, and Wei Jing rushed out at the same time.

"What kind of skill is it to bully more and less? If you have the guts, come at me, Dianwei!"

Dian Wei also joined in the melee, Zhang Liao chased Sun Ce to fight, but Huang Gai and the three were beaten by Dian Wei helplessly.

"kill!"

Zhou Yu, who was watching the battle, saw that his side was at a disadvantage, so he directly ordered the soldiers to kill him. Sun Ce can't have an accident here.

Cao Shuo pointed at the spear, and the Thousand Tiger Guards behind him greeted him with machetes.

"Zhou Yu, where are you going!"

Cao Shuo didn't pay attention to Sun Ce and the others at all, but killed Zhou Yu, who was not strong in martial arts.

Zhou Yu panicked, fighting alone, he could never be Cao Shuo's opponent.

How could this shameless person find himself?

"Archer, shoot him to death for me!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The two hundred guards behind Cao Shuo fired their bows and arrows first, scaring Zhou Yu away in a hurry.

"Kill it!"

Lu Su, who stayed in the camp, saw that his own 1000 soldiers could not take down the opponent's [-] soldiers, so he ordered the soldiers of each battalion to launch a general attack.

"Whoever kills Cao Shuo will be rewarded with [-] gold and made king with a different surname!"

Chapter 486 Defeating Sun Ce's [-] Army

Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai, who were staying in Cao Shuo's camp, saw that the other party had launched a general attack, and they also ordered several generals to lead their soldiers to kill them.

The two sides fought until the evening, and because the light was too dark, they each withdrew their troops.

Back in the camp, several generals couldn't hide their excitement, they haven't killed so heartily for a long time.

Xi Zhicai took an account book and said, "My lord, our army suffered a total of more than 400 casualties in this battle, including nine casualties from the Tiger Guards. I estimate that the opponent should have more than 2 casualties."

Cao Shuo nodded, and ordered: "Let the two thousand tiger guards resting in the camp leave the camp, and transport all the corpses of our soldiers back to the camp."

"promise!"

The equipment of these soldiers cannot fall into the hands of the Wu army, especially the equipment of the Tiger Guards.

In the camp of Wu State, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others looked gloomy. Sun Ce never expected that they would lose the battle despite their superior numbers.

Huang Gai, Sun Yi, and Wei Jing were all wounded, and there were no fewer than 20 lieutenants in the battalion.

The 6000 army suffered more than [-] casualties, but the opponent was not defeated as expected, especially the [-] black cavalry behind Cao Shuo. Their soldiers could not hurt the opponent at all.

Lu Su said: "I don't know how many black cavalry under Cao Shuo's men are left. The opponent has 1000 men and beat us like this. If there are 1 of us, then our [-] troops are not enough for the opponent to fight."

Thinking of the thousand black cavalry, he felt a little scared. He didn't expect that there were such cavalry in this world. From soldiers to horses, they were all fully armed, and the horses were almost bigger than their horses.

Zhou Yu said: "Surely there will not be many such soldiers, otherwise, how could Cao Shuo let go of such a good opportunity?"

However, Sun Ce on the side didn't think about this question. He was thinking about today's one-on-one fight. Zhang Liao's martial arts were not inferior to his own, and his weapons were sharper than his own.

He summed up a truth, one must not single out in front of Wei's army.

"Report, Gan Ning's navy has repelled General Sun Ben, and the opponent's army is heading towards Wuhu."

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu in awe, if Gan Ning blocked the Zhongjiang River, wouldn't their navy be besieged here?

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I will lead an army of [-] sailors to intercept Gan Ning!"

Without further ado, Zhou Yu directly took most of the warships and left the Zhongjiang section of Liyang.

Sun Ce looked at the battalion of dejected soldiers, sighed, and asked, "Zijing, Wanling still has [-] soldiers, should we call them?"

Lu Su said: "If Cao Shuo's black cavalry has only 1000 men, as long as we can restrain the cavalry, then we still have a chance to defeat the opponent."

"The way to deal with cavalry in the north is to use horse-repelling posts and trap horses, but we are now on the offensive side, so we can't use this thing!"

Lu Su said helplessly: "The opponent's armor is extremely hard, and the effect of the bow and arrow is also very small!"

How should this battle be fought?

Seeing that there are only so few people on the other side, they just can't attack.

Huang Gai suggested: "Your Majesty, if we burn the opponent's food and make them retreat, then it will be easier for us to pursue them."

Raid the camp?

Sun Ce hesitated a little.

There must be capable people around Cao Shuo to help him, and the other party can also think of the strategy of sneak attacking the camp.

"Report, Your Majesty, Jing County has been breached by Zhang Xiu's army, and the opponent's [-] army is heading towards Wanling."

"what?"

Sun Ce looked at the soldier in horror, and asked, "How did the other party get to Jing County?"

Could it be that Cao Shuo secretly dispatched an army to sneak across the Yangtze River from the direction of Lujiang County?

Why didn't anyone come to inform the defenders along the Yangtze River?

Lu Su said inwardly that he was not good, and hurriedly said: "My lord, if the opponent goes to take the spring valley and opens the defense on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the army of Lujiang County takes the opportunity to enter Danyang County, our retreat will be cut off."

Sun Ce thought for a while and said, "Notify the battalions to attack Cao Shuo's camp tomorrow morning."

Faced with such a critical situation, he had no choice but to break the boat. It would be better if he could defeat Cao Shuo. If not, he would lead the army southward and enter Wanling, using Lengshui and Zhongjiang as natural dangers to prevent Cao Shuo from going south.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Sun Ce led the remaining 5 troops and began to attack Cao Shuo's camp.

Cao Shuo summoned several generals and said, "Le Jin, Wang Ling, and Wang Chen, you assist the two army divisions in guarding the camp. Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, Zou Dan, and Qi Zhou will lead an army of three thousand tiger guards with me. Enter the camp."

"promise!"

"kill!"

"Whoever captures Sun Ce alive will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!"

With Cao Shuo's order, the three thousand tiger guards and the three thousand Xuanjia troops all rushed out of the camp.
