After this battle, Liu Xun's name was completely resounding in every corner of Lujiang County. Although Jiangdong's worries were still there, Liu Xun's heroic and heroic image was deeply imprinted in the hearts of Lujiang soldiers. Since he could defeat Jiangdong soldiers once

, then we can defeat them a second time, the soldiers thought so.

But in the prefect's mansion

"What on earth are you thinking, you stupid guy!"

Liu Xun said angrily, "At that critical moment, you actually trapped me in the house. How could the general stay at home during the war? I also trained you back then! Why didn't you let me pass? You gave it to me instead

Tell me! If you don’t give me a reason today, we won’t be finished!”

Wang Hao drooped his head and thought aggrievedly, I am not doing this for your safety...

Seeing Wang Hao's honest look, Liu Xun really had no choice but to curl his lips and said helplessly:

"Let's see how I deal with you next time."

"like"

"Go and pass my order to Gan Ning to lead 10,000 elite troops to attack Sun Ce's ambush. When the time comes, he and Huang Xing will attack from both sides and don't let them go."

"My lord, General Gan has already gone all the way to chase Sun Ce. How about letting someone else lead the troops to attack the Jiangdong Army's ambush with Huang Xing?" Wang Hao reminded him.

"Then, Sun Ce's main force has been crippled by us. He has less than 2,000 defeated soldiers. At this time, we must give priority to solving the Jiangdong Army's ambush. They are a fresh force. If they receive the news and come to support, they will be in trouble. In the army

Only Gan Ning can take on this important task. As for Sun Ce, let me personally deal with him. Just in case, we will take a small road to hunt down the remnants of Sun Ce."

Talking about Maling.

Captain Zhu Sanjing was naked from the waist up, revealing his bulging muscles. He threw a large bundle of hay into the wormwood bushes on the roadside and shouted to Deng Qiang rather unhappily: "Brother Qiang, brothers are busy."

It's been a long time since we've been mowing the grass here. We don't feed the pigs, so why mow so much grass? Are we going to fight or kill Jiangdong's army?

There was a hint of awe in Deng Qiang's eyes. Although the Lujiang soldiers were trained rigorously, they had not experienced a real big battle. Therefore, their tolerance for the cruelty and death of war was limited. At this time, they should try to avoid a head-on fight with Jiangdong's army.

, so the lord must find ways to use strange tactics to deal with the officers and soldiers.

The Lord said that only by experiencing more and more victorious battles can the confidence of the soldiers be cultivated and a psychological advantage over a strong army be established in their hearts. At that time, the Lujiang soldiers will be a trustworthy army, and they will have the strength to fight against a strong army.

The army has the strength to fight head-on. However, it is definitely not now.

Deng Qiang sighed coldly and asked: "Lao Zhu, do you think mowing grass has nothing to do with fighting?"

"Uh, this..." Zhu San scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Does it matter?"

"Of course." Deng Qiang smiled coldly and decided to give this reckless man a tactical lesson. In fact, Deng Qiang didn't understand it very well. He himself was taught by his lord when he came here, but this did not prevent him from showing off in front of Zhu San.

.

He pointed to the gentle slope in front of him and said, "Maling is the only way for Jiangdong Army to lead to Jiangdong. If Jiangdong Army is defeated, it will definitely pass here."

Zhu San nodded, this is easy to understand.

A hint of ferocity flashed across Deng Qiang's face, and he said in a deep voice: "The terrain here is flat and overgrown with wormwood. There are gentle slopes on three sides, and only the south is a swamp. Now is the autumn and winter season. The sky is dry and the grass and trees are withered and yellow. It is very easy to

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, Jiangdong's army will have no choice but to retreat south. By then we have ambushed two thousand archers in the south, and Sun Ce will not be able to escape.

Lao Zhu, follow my original instructions and hurry up and prepare! I think Sun Ce will soon be defeated."

Because he believed that since his lord had predicted that Sun Ce would come to attack Lujiang County, he would definitely be able to defeat Jiangdong's army as long as he was not too stupid if he already knew the situation.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for spies to come and report that Sun Ce and his Jiangdong army had been defeated and fled. At this moment, Sun Ce was leading the defeated general Ai, who was less than three thousand soldiers, coming here.

After receiving the news, Deng Qiang was overjoyed and said, "Okay, my lord is really wise and powerful. Even a fierce man like Sun Ce was easily dealt with by this lord. Please be prepared for the coming."

"like"

...

"Hurry, hurry up, follow up, don't fall behind."

"The front army continues to advance rapidly, don't stop."

Sun Ce was riding on his horse, constantly urging his soldiers to march faster.

The soldiers wiped the sweat dripping down their cheeks with their sleeves and looked at the mount under Sun Ce's crotch with envy. Some of them cried out: "General Sun, please take a breath for a moment. I really don't have the strength. Huh, let's go."

Stop moving."

"No, we can't exhaust it!" Sun Ce flatly refused, "The Lujiang soldiers may catch up at any time, and we must escape before they catch up."

The soldier said with a grimace: "General Sun, if we are marching in such a hurry, even if we can escape before the pursuers arrive, if there is an ambush in front of us, we may not have the strength to fight. This will be disadvantageous. How about that?"

Let’s rest for now, and then we can move forward slowly when we have regained our energy.”

Sun Ce glanced at the soldier with disdain and shouted: "What do you know, a mere soldier dares to talk nonsense about military affairs? Don't you think that you can make a fuss, then weaken again, and finally become exhausted? The entire army must obey orders and must not let up.

Withdraw from Lujiang County in one go, and you will be rewarded heavily after escaping from here." The soldier's face suddenly turned red, a trace of confusion flashed across his little eyes, and he had no choice but to drag his tired legs and continue on his way.

After marching less than three miles, the whole army entered a gentle slope covered with wormwood. Sun Ce frowned and was about to stop the march. Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw a swampy wetland to the south. In addition, the terrain of this gentle slope was gentle and the field of vision was not wide.

After laying an ambush, he felt relieved and asked Zhou Yu with a relaxed expression: "Gong Jin, where is this place?"

Zhou Yu said seriously: "Bo Fu, this place is called Maling. You can escape from Lujiang County twenty miles ahead."

Sun Ce's expression perked up, he waved his riding whip and said loudly: "The three armies listen to the order. There is an exit twenty miles ahead and they can escape. Speed ​​up the march!"

…

On the top of a hill not far to the north, Deng Qiang waved his hand gently. As soon as the two soldiers behind him loosened their grip, a lone pine tree that was barely holding on fell down. A small leader with strong arms stretched out his bow and nocked an arrow.

With a creaking sound, the strong bow was stretched into the shape of a full moon.

Seeing the lone pine falling on the top of the hill in the north, the soldiers on the east side and the soldiers on the west side drew their bows and arrows at the same time. Some of the soldiers had already pulled out the matchsticks stuck in the ashes and collected the arrows coated with lamp oil.

As soon as the arrow was lifted, the arrow burst into flames. Then, as soon as the hand was released, the bow buzzed, and the flaming arrow was shot out into the air.

…

"call out!"

"call out!"
Chapter completed!
