After listening to Zhou Yu's analysis, all the generals suddenly became enlightened.

Zheng Bao said excitedly: "Fan, General Yu has the responsibility of guarding the Yangtze River. He will definitely not sit back and watch us set up camp in the east of the Yangtze River and continue to receive reinforcements across the river. As long as we stay in the camp, even if the enemy's army is the only one

30%, the probability of winning is quite impressive.”

Sun He nodded in agreement and said: "It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although the camp is not as good as the city, it should not be difficult to kill one soldier and injure three enemies. The problem lies in how to replenish the bows and arrows and how to erect the camp."

While the generals were discussing excitedly, Sun Ce waved his hand firmly and said: "No, we will not hold the camp in this battle, but take the initiative to fight."

The lively discussion suddenly stopped. All the generals looked at Sun Ce in surprise. Jiang Qin even asked in disbelief: "General, we can defend the camp, why do we take the initiative to attack?"

Sun Ce asked: "Defending a fort requires a large number of bows and arrows. If there are not enough bows and arrows, both sides will be completely wasted on flesh and blood. Do you think that our mere two thousand people can consume the other party's army of more than eight thousand?"

A fortress is not a city, and there are not many city gates that can rely on counterattacks and defensive wars. More gates are more expensive than fewer gates, and they are more expensive to open than to close them. Once the enemy is surrounded and the gates of the camp are blocked, the power of the large army can be used at will.

A huge advantage.

Moreover, the opponent's weapons are more complete than Sun Ce's, and they have the upper hand with bows, crossbows, and arrows. If they bring out trebuchets, bed crossbows, and other equipment, they will become a living target if they are huddled in the camp. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were in Guandu

In the early stage of the battle, the enemy suffered from overwhelming numbers and arrows raining down like rain. The soldiers could only walk with shields in the camp.

Jiang Qin touched the back of his head and asked: "General, if you can't win even if you spend time in the camp, how can you win the enemy in the field?"

Sun Ce waved his hand and asked him to sit down, and then solemnly said to everyone: "There is a saying in the art of war. Those who are good at fighting should seek the power and not be responsible for others, so they can choose people and use the power. Therefore, all you gentlemen, please remember

Well, the key to victory or defeat is not how many people are killed, but whether they can win or lose."

"Relying on the defense of the camp, it is impossible for the enemy's entire army to go out in full force. They must take turns to fight and be consumed. Even if our army repels the enemy, it will be a miserable victory. Fighting in the field is different. To win with more is the right way of war. Formation arrangement

It stretches for more than ten miles, and it is impossible for every soldier to grasp the situation of the battle. Therefore, if the situation of victory and defeat can be established, even if the enemy army has ten thousand people, it can be defeated in one battle."

There is another more important reason why Sun Ce cannot speak. If he is surrounded in the camp and no reinforcements arrive, it is impossible to predict whether the opponent will continue to attack the camp, or whether he will besieged and not attack, trapping Sun Ce to death. This is

Will it lead to a more serious consequence? Will Zhou Shang change his mind? After all, he can also claim that the fake surrender attracted a partial army from Liyang, and the army was able to surround it.

Using the power of thunder to defeat the enemy in a single battle in the wild is Sun Ce's best and only choice.

"Commanders!"

Following Sun Ce's heroic and fierce roar, all the soldiers in the tent stood up instantly, and the sound of their heels clenching together and the sound of their armors colliding was high-spirited and majestic.

Sun Ce took a deep breath and yelled: "Creating an army and building an industry, victory or defeat, life and death all depend on this battle. I only hope that all the kings will fight against the invaders, draw their flags and kill the generals, be ambitious and move forward! I am unstoppable.

The army will surely win with one blow!"

Everyone was full of pride and ambition, and immediately shouted back: "I will fight to the death bravely, fight to win the championship among the armies, and defeat this enemy for the general!"

Sun Ce waved his hand with satisfaction and said: "Everyone returns to camp, rectifies the soldiers, and after an hour we break camp and march."

The intense atmosphere of Zhuanghuai ended, and all the commanders left the commander's tent one after another.

Zhou Yu stayed beside Sun Ce and said with a faint smile: "The generals in Bofu Camp are quite eager to learn. The Sima sitting next to me just now has a heavy back and a heavy waist. I see that he is also constantly carving on the bamboo slips."

Jiang Qin?

The Sima sitting next to Zhou Yu is him. How can he be so eager to learn?

Sun Ce was surprised for a moment and shouted: "Jiang Qin, please stay here first and give me your bamboo slips."

Jiang Qin didn't think about the reason why Sun Ce wanted his bamboo slips, so he instinctively offered them to him.

Sun Ce opened the bamboo slips and took a look. It was indeed covered with a bunch of crooked large characters, but the content was all one word: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Sun Ce closed the bamboo slips, glanced at him, and said: "You really have a profound understanding. You agree with my explanation so much. Then the task of breaking through the battle situation and determining the outcome will be left to you. You will lead your troops to the left wing and serve for the whole country."

The army is sharp!"

Jiang Qin was overjoyed, and immediately saluted heavily and said, "I will take the lead, defeat the enemy, and live up to the general's high expectations."

Jiang Qin thought that victory or defeat really depended on him, so he left in high spirits, ready to lead his soldiers and win the title of the three armies bravely.

Zhou Yu was left in the tent with a smile and said: "Bo Fu still likes to joke as before."

Looking at Jiang Qin's cheerful back, Sun Ce said with a smile: "He doesn't know anyway. It would be a good thing to be more cheerful."

Zhou Yu smiled and then asked: "Has Bo Fu already thought of the plan for the real decisive victory?"

Sun Ce nodded and said: "Before Gong Jin arrived, I was only 40% sure. But Gong Jin has arrived, and now I have a 60% chance of winning. Everything is entrusted to you, Gong Jin!"

Zhou Yu stared at the handsome Sun Ce under the sun, suddenly smiled, and said: "The general is so good, do I need to say this? I still remember that when I was young, I gave you several mansions in Shu County, and you promised that you would find a country in the future.

I have been waiting for the beautiful woman to be given to me. Before that, I will never allow you to miss anything."

Sun Ce suddenly laughed heartily and said: "Well, Gong Jin, you have really made a profit. After a few houses, you have found a peerless beauty. I have found for you a beauty who will be famous throughout the ages. Wait for me."

I’ll pick it up in the future.”

While Sun Ce was joking and chatting here, Liu Yao's army camp on Niuzhu Mountain was very depressed and depressed.

Fan Neng was sitting behind the desk, his face gloomy and livid. Yu Mi was pacing angrily in the middle of the commander's tent. His left arm was injured, and it still hurt even though it was bandaged, so he was very angry.

He was the general who encountered Sun Ce while leading his cavalry on a hunting trip.

At that time, cavalry wearing black armor and armed with eight-foot-long spears suddenly came in. Yu Mi had only a short sword in his hand and no armor. The despair and fear still make him palpitate and feel extremely embarrassed when he recalls it.

.

What makes him even more angry is that even if he goes back to that time, he has no way to deal with it better. He is still shocked by his courage and determination at that time. After the long sword was knocked away, he faced the enemy directly.

At the critical moment of the stabbing attack coming towards the door, he decisively stretched out his left arm to block it. Although his left arm was injured, the opponent's blade was slightly deflected, and it missed him close to his hair.

The surprise in the opponent's knight's eyes made Yu Mi even feel insulted. He was one of the best generals in Jiangdong! He was the most valiant commander of the three armies in the Niuzhu camp! The opponent actually died just because he blocked a blow and did not kill him with a single blow.

Surprised. How dare an unknown person dare to be so rampant!

Yu Mi said angrily: "Such arrogant cavalry must be Yuan Shu's troops! They are just like their master, arrogant and wanton, and despise the heroes!"

Fan Neng was disturbed by his anxious pace and shouted in a low voice: "You are annoying me by hanging around, can you sit down!"

Yu Mi asked: "Sit down? How can I sit still! You have never fought with those fierce and brave knights. They are all over ten feet tall and ten inches wide at the waist. They ride on tall horses. They are tall and majestic and kill people like hemp.

I still can’t figure out how to deal with them.”

Fan Neng scolded: "That's just because you were frightened and made a mistake. I asked other cavalrymen, and some of them even said that the enemy cavalry was three feet tall! The calmest way to say it is that the enemy cavalry are all eight feet tall, and there are more than ten cavalrymen. This

The number is not enough to affect the battle situation. What we should pay attention to now is how the enemy cavalry crossed the Yangtze River's natural chasm!"

"I asked my personal guards to go to the water village at the foot of the mountain to inquire. The navy general issued a military order. In recent days, no Liyang warships have been dispatched. Only the ships of Danyang Prefect Zhou Shang are patrolling on the river."

Yu Mi paused in his anxious mood, frowned, and asked: "What do you mean, is Zhou Shang secretly communicating with Yuan Shu?"

Fan Neng looked gloomy and said: "I have sent scouts to investigate. Now I can only wait patiently for the results."

Yu Mi became even more anxious. Why did Zhou Shang seek refuge with Yuan Shu? Did he think that Liu Mu could not defend the Yangtze River?

If Danyang surrenders to the enemy, won't the war situation become serious in the future? Can we still be as comfortable as we are now?

Waiting for the results was the most painful. Yu Mi felt like an ant on a hot pot today, unable to calm down at all.

Fortunately, the soldiers were considerate enough and did not let Yu Mi suffer for too long before delivering the verdict.

"Thousands of Yuan Shu's troops have crossed the Yangtze River and are heading towards Niuzhu Camp. It seems that they intend to camp at the foot of Niuzhu Mountain."

Although it was bad news, Yu Mi felt much calmer, at least there was a result.

He immediately said: "If it is just a few hundred enemy troops, it is possible that they sneaked across the Yangtze River by negligence. These thousands of people crossed the natural chasm overnight and appeared in Danyang. Zhou Shang's cooperation is absolutely indispensable! I will inform you as soon as possible.

Liu Mu, get rid of this traitor."

Fan Neng's expression became much worse. He thought more comprehensively than Yu Mi and said: "The question is, can we hold on until Liu Mu sends an army to support us? If Zhou Shang is allowed to collude with the enemy, Liyang Yuan Shu's army will

If they keep marching to Danyang, we will be the turtles in the urn!"

Yu Mi asked: "Then what are your plans?"

Fan Neng said: "At least we can't let them set up camp at the foot of Niuzhu Mountain and block us on the mountain. Niuzhu camp faces the Yangtze River in the north and is mainly used to defend against powerful enemies from the north. It has never been imagined that the Yangtze River natural moat is broken through and the enemy forces attack us on the mountain.

The situation of blockage in the south.”

Yu Mi angrily scolded: "The whole fault is Zhou Shang's, so that we were caught off guard, and even set up camps to fight against each other."

Fan Neng had heard enough of his complaints and said: "You are a sergeant, not a woman. You rely on the sword in your hand to decide life and death, not your words! Chattering will not help. What you should do now is to make up for it!"

Yu Mi looked ashamed when he heard this and asked angrily: "Then what do you think we should do to remedy the situation?"

Fan Neng said: "The current situation has caught us off guard, but it also means that on the other hand, the opponent is not fully prepared, and it is impossible to overwhelm the mountain. Therefore, the enemy must attack with light troops, and the troops are expensive and fast. The number of enemy troops is bound to be

limited."

Yu Mi nodded in approval. The situation had only deteriorated for a day or two, and the opponent's army would definitely not be too large. From a safe perspective, it was natural to gather tens of thousands of troops and then attack with all three armies. But the enemy army was hit

If you break the traces and come quickly, you will have the advantage of having a large number of troops and speed. Naturally, you will not be able to take advantage of having a large number of people at the same time.

"So you plan to defeat these thousands of enemy troops?"

Fan Neng nodded and asked: "Otherwise, we can't just sit here and wait for death in this Niuzhu camp. I plan to use all three armies to eliminate the enemy. Yuan Shu's army has been fighting with us for many years, with victories and defeats. And the elite soldiers left by Sun Jian have suffered countless losses.

, even if all those who come are elite soldiers from Huaisi, a mere few thousand people are no match for our army."

"Send all three armies?" Yu Mi asked in surprise: "Isn't this a little reckless? If defeated, Niuzhu camp will be completely lost."

Fan Neng replied: "It is precisely because it is a matter of life and death that we must fight with all our strength. If we have spare strength and insufficient troops, it will lead to disaster. Can the remaining troops hold Niuzhu Camp and hold off tens of thousands of enemy troops?"
