Chapter Thirty-Third: The Great War Will Begin
Liu Xun then ordered: "Gan Ning listens to the order, you lead 10,000 elite soldiers with more bows and arrows and arrange an ambush in the city. When Sun Ce breaks the city, he will definitely rush to the prefect's mansion. So you only need to ambush on the rooftops on both sides of the road in the city. When the time comes,
Thousands of archers and thousands of arrows fired at the same time will definitely knock him off his feet and make them lose their vitality in an instant. When they know that Zhongfu wants to retreat, you will lead the troops to chase them all the way."
"The last general takes orders," Gan Ning said solemnly.
"Deng Qiang listens to the order. You lead five thousand soldiers and horses to ambush at Maling in the south of the city. The terrain there is flat and covered with wormwood. There are gentle slopes on three sides, except for the south which is a swamp. It is autumn and winter now, and the sky is dry and dry.
The vegetation is withered and yellow, and it is very easy to burn. If our army sets fire from the east, west and north at the same time, and the fire spreads from all sides to the middle, the enemy army will have no choice but to retreat south. You can ambush a thousand archers on the edge of the bathing area. As long as the fire spreads from all sides to the middle.
If the enemy retreats into the swamp, they will fall into death, and even gods coming down to earth will not be able to save them."
After hearing this, the generals shuddered at the same time. Liu Xun's sharp eyes at this time made chills run down their backs.
"The last general takes command"
Liu Xun snorted and said: "Deng Qiang, whether or not Sun Ce can be kept is very important. You must follow my instructions and seize the time to prepare the necessary things to burn! And you must remember that Sun Ce is on his way here first.
Hide your position and don't let them find out. You have to wait until they are defeated and flee in embarrassment before setting fire to it. Do you understand?"
Deng Qiang quickly responded: "Please rest assured, my lord, the general will understand."
"Zhang Cong listens to the order, you ambush three thousand soldiers and horses on each side of Wanggou Mountain. Just like Deng Qiang, don't let them find out. After they are defeated and return here, you will kill them by surprise."
"The last general takes command"
"Lin Kai listens to the order. Just in case, you lead a thousand soldiers and horses behind Zhang Zong to stop the Jiangdong deserters. Remember that you are the last barrier. If any Jiangdong soldiers can escape here, they will be dead.
I have to stop them too.
"The last general takes command"
"Tieniu listens to the order. You lead one thousand soldiers and horses to guard the city. When Sun Ce comes to attack the city, pretend to be defeated and abandon the city to the governor's mansion to escape for your life. Don't fight Sun Ce desperately. Just collapse at the first touch."
"The last general takes command"
Liu Xun looked around and said in a solemn voice, "I, the eunuch, have taken charge of the remaining thousands of soldiers and horses to coordinate the situation. As the saying goes, people decide what to do and what to do depends on heaven. Whether you can defeat Sun Ce in one fell swoop depends on you."
"At the end of the day, we must do our best and fight to the death." All the generals clasped their fists and said in unison.
"Okay, let's go get ready. I'll be waiting for good news at the Prefect's Mansion."
"like"
The generals responded and left.
...
three days later
Huang Xing led 5,000 soldiers and horses, and set up many flags along the way to announce that he would send 30,000 troops to attack Shangliao. He also found a man who looked like Liu Xun, put on the uniform of the prefect, and pretended to get on the carriage. If not,
Looking closely, it was impossible to tell that this Liu Xun was not the other Liu Xun, so Huang Xing led his army to kill all the way to Shangliao.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu secretly sent a large number of spies. As soon as Huang Xing and others left, they received the news. When they learned that Liu Xun personally led 30,000 main troops to attack Shangliao, the two of them smiled knowingly. They simply followed
I never thought about whether Liu Xun was trying to deceive them.
Because they really know Liu Xun's character very well, and they have all worked together under Yuan Shu before. With Liu Xun's idiot appearance, doing this kind of thing is more in line with his personality. If someone told them that this was
Liu Xun is using his tactics, and the two of them will definitely spray him to death with saliva.
If this Liu Xun is the original Liu Xun, then this strategy is indeed successful in taking Lujiang County, but the fact is that things go against wishes.
As the saying goes, cleverness leads to mistakes. At this moment, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are living examples.
There was nothing much to say at the moment. According to the original plan, Sun Ce summoned the 25,000 elite soldiers who had been waiting for a long time, and secretly stationed them in Yuzhang County, which was close to Lujiang County. They would be able to send troops to Lujiang as soon as Liu Xun set off.
county.
Now that Liu Xun has left his nest, what they are pursuing at this moment is speed. Sun Ce ordered them to go into battle lightly without any baggage and rush to Lujiang County at the fastest speed. Halfway through, they were the same as the original time and space, separated from each other.
Eight thousand soldiers and horses were sent out, led by Sun Ben, to intercept Liu Xun's returning troops and horses halfway.
Two more days passed quickly, and Sun Ce and the others finally arrived at Lujiang County after running wildly.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at Lujiang County in front of them and at the chaotic defenders on top of the city, and smiled disdainfully.
Sun Ce smiled at Zhou Yu and said, "Liu Xun is really stupid. It's all thanks to you that he took Lujiang County so easily today."
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said: "Haha, such a trivial skill is of no use. Today's defeat of Lujiang City is really a double blessing."
Sun Ce asked in confusion: "How do you say this?"
Zhou Yu laughed and said, "The life-long events of you and me will be here in Lujiang City."
Sun Ce suddenly realized: "Haha, Gong Jin is talking about the Qiao sisters?"
Zhou Yu nodded with a smile and said: "That's exactly it."
At this moment, Sun Ce also had a look of expectation on his face. Without saying a word, Sun Ce began to give orders: "Where is Zhou Tai?"
"The general will be here at the end." A burly man bowed down and said
"I order you to be the vanguard, take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, and capture the city as soon as possible."
"If" Zhou Tai holds his fist in the air
As Zhou Tai took the order and left, Jiangdong's army quickly rushed towards the city.
At this moment, Tieniu saw at the city gate that Sun Ce's army had indeed come to attack Lujiang County, and he couldn't help but admire his lord.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the army under the city, Tieniu remembered Liu Xun's instructions and pretended to be panicked and shouted: "No, Sun Ce's army has come to attack Lujiang County. We have fallen into his trick."
Tieniu's voice was so rough that even Sun Ce outside the city could hear it clearly. Sun Ce laughed loudly and said: "Now that you know you have been tricked, why don't you surrender quickly? I will spare your life when the time comes.
"
Before Tieniu could reply, Jiangdong's army, led by Zhou Tai, had already begun to attack the city. After all, time is life, and Sun Ce couldn't afford to delay it. What if Liu Xun's 30,000-strong army broke through, intercepted and returned to Lujiang County to aid Lujiang County after receiving the news?
It's fun.
At this moment, the Jiangdong Army was in full force. Although it lacked siege equipment and only used simple wooden frames to attack the city, its momentum was not comparable to that of the Lujiang Army. The person leading the attack at the front of the army was none other than Zhou who Liu Xun sent people to look for.
Taizhou Youping.
It turned out that Zhou Tai had defected to Sun Ce a few years ago, and he was accompanied by Jiang Qin.
Zhou Tai was already very brave, dodging left and right along the way, and soon climbed to the top of the city. Zhou Tai waved his sword in his hand. For a moment, the Lujiang soldiers were invincible. With Zhou Tai seizing the city head, the Jiangdong soldiers behind him
Then he kept climbing up.
As the number of Jiangdong soldiers on the city increased, and since Tieniu had not planned to defend the city in the first place, the unruly Lujiang soldiers immediately fled in all directions. Zhou Tai easily broke through the city gate of Lujiang County.
Sun Ce, who was outside the city gate not far away, saw clearly. He couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart. He thought that Lujiang County is mine, and Da Qiao is also mine. Then he waved his hand and shouted: "Attack with all your strength, rush into the prefect."
Mansion, please don’t let Liu Xun’s family members escape.”
At first, Zhou Tai was still a little vigilant. When he rushed to the gate of Lujiang County, he saw that the gate had been opened by his subordinates, and the people on the city wall had already fled without a trace. Not even half a person could be seen. Zhou Tai suddenly
Great joy.
At this time, the messenger came from Sun Ce's general order: "Attack with all your strength and rush into the prefect's mansion. Don't let Liu Xun's family members escape."
After receiving the order, Zhou Tai naturally did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered the entire army to rush to the prefect's house and prepare to raid Liu Xun's home.
Sun Ce, who was so proud, made this order that he would regret for the rest of his life. Zhou Yu on the side wanted to persuade them to be careful, but the words came to his lips but he still didn't say anything. After all, he didn't think that idiot Liu Xun could still act like that.
What a trick. All his soldiers and horses were taken away, and there was no force to ambush them. And Sun Ce was right, if time was wasted and Liu Xun's family members escaped, it would be troublesome.
Under Sun Ce's urging, the morale of Jiangdong's soldiers soared and they attacked the prefect's mansion with overwhelming force.
