Chapter 1312: Recover Shang Cai
Outside Shangcai County.
Huang Zhong's troops appeared here.
Before, Sun Ce only led thousands of vanguard cavalry to Shangcai County.
Their large army was still rushing here from the rear, mainly including more than 30,000 troops from Commander Huang Zhong.
These more than 30,000 people are the main force in the attack on Runan County this time.
In the past two days, Sun Ce never wanted to attack Shangcai County.
First of all, it is because he doesn't have enough people under him yet.
If you attack Shangcai County, you will easily suffer losses. Even if you can really defeat it, the loss of troops will definitely be extremely serious and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Moreover, there are still enemy reinforcements near Shangcai County. Once reinforcements arrive and surrounded Sun Ce and others' retreat, the situation will be very bad for Sun Ce.
So in the past two days, he has been just following around and playing around with the idea of playing support.
But now, the situation is different when Huang Zhong's army arrives.
With Huang Zhong's troops in charge, his troops increased greatly, and it became much easier to capture Shangcai County.
In addition, Sun Ce defeated another wave of enemy troops coming to Shangcai County to support him.
The number of people near Runan County was not so many, which gave them stronger confidence to start attacking Shangcai.
As soon as Huang Zhong's troops arrived, they immediately began to build siege tools. The crossbow shooter quickly arrived and directly launched a shooting on the city tower. After several rounds of shooting, the defenders in the city had become panic and did not dare to leave the city at all.
Not to mention going out of the city to fight, even if you show your head on the city tower, you will become cautious, for fear that the shooters under the city will shoot another round of shooting.
This lasted another day, and Sun Ce did not wait for more reinforcements.
The troops here of Huang Zhong gradually completed the siege equipment.
After all, when Shangcai County was attacked by Guan Yu's army before, it had been severely damaged.
Now only a short time has passed, and some things in the city have not changed much, and the damaged areas have not yet been repaired, so Huang Zhong and others do not even need too many siege tools, as long as the troops can cross the city tower.
By using the shooter to restrain the defenders, they could easily climb up the city tower and fight against the defenders in the city. This made it easier to capture Shangcai County.
With Huang Zhong's close mobilization, Sun Ce led his troops to attack the city himself.
As soon as the horn sounded, the sound of war drums shook the sky.
Tens of thousands of troops were ready outside Shangcai County and began to attack the city.
He has an advantage in military strength and his morale is much stronger than his opponents.
In terms of such prerequisites, the offensive and defensive battle in Shangcai County was simply not difficult for Huang Zhong and Sun Ce.
The attack launched in the morning was broken after an hour.
Tens of thousands of troops flocked in from the city gate.
The Shangcai County was soon occupied.
All the thousands of cavalry lurking in Shangcai County were killed, and they failed to escape.
Only a small number of people with some status were captured.
Among them is Wu Fu, who escaped from Geyang County.
After Wu Fu was arrested, he did not choose to surrender. He also resisted tenaciously at the first time.
However, with the remaining remaining soldiers, facing the tens of thousands of troops of Huang Zhong and Sun Ce, this resistance was futile. He was defeated and surrendered soon after.
Wu Fu, who tied his hands, was brought to Sun Ce and Huang Zhong.
Because of Wu Fu's clothes, everyone can see that Wu Fu's status is not low at a glance.
So he was quite curious about his identity, and at the same time he wanted to find out some more detailed information from Wu Fu, such as the distribution of troops stationed and distributed in Runan County.
And what is the current situation of the surprise attack on Chen County by Guan Yu? These news are very important to Huang Zhong and Sun Ce.
Ordinary soldiers cannot control these things, only commanders like Xiang Wufu can know.
"General Wu Fu, I didn't expect that you will have today."
Sun Ce actually didn't know Wu Fu, and he had never even heard of Wu Fu's name before. However, this time he attacked Shangcai County, he had already found out some of the situations about Wu Fu from the captured prisoners.
Wu Fu's face seemed as if he had lost his vitality.
The defeated general, the wounded general, was captured, and naturally he had no good expression. Even if he could leave here alive and meet Guan Yu again, Wu Fu's status would inevitably decline a lot.
Besides, he may not be able to leave here alive.
Now, life and death are still unclear.
When I heard Sun Ce's words, I realized that I might have some useful value in Sun Ce's eyes.
But Wu Fu was not willing to do anything to sell his old owner.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to kill and cut, you will be punished."
Wu Fu is also a strong man in history. When Dong Zhuo was in chaos, he assassinated Dong Zhuo.
Although he failed to kill Dong Zhuo, it also showed that Wu Fu was a tough person. He was not a person who was willing to sell his master for honor and surrender.
Wu Funing refused to surrender. Sun Ce glanced at Wu Fu and admired someone like Wu Fu.
"Very good, he is a man. Our Majesty likes men like General Wu Fu, take them down and imprison them."
Sun Ce did not finish a word, and after Wu Fu guessed his thoughts, he did not continue to say more.
I directly asked someone to take Wu Fu down. Since Wu Fu was unwilling to say more, it would be meaningless to continue talking nonsense to him.
Now that Shangcai County has been captured, Liu Zheng can quickly take back Runan County.
But Sun Ce didn't think so.
"General Huang, we don't have to stay in Shangcai County."
“Why?”
"Guan Yu did not stay in Runan County for too long, which means that Runan and the others had thought of completely occupying it, but they just drove the people to migrate to the north, and the army was all in Chen County at this time."
"If we delay too much time in Runan, it is very likely that Chen County will be in trouble. In my opinion, we should quickly attack Chen County and support Liu Chong's men."
Sun Ce has been staying near Lujiang and is most clear about Liu Chong's pressure. He not only has to face the attack of Zhang Fei in Yanzhou, but also has to be on guard against Guan Yu now.
Liu Chong's troops were naturally not enough to divide them.
Huang Zhong thought for a moment and quickly agreed to Sun Ce's words.
"Bo Fu said it right. Runan has subsequent troops and horses to slowly recover. Our goal is to defeat Guan Yu. Your Majesty thinks it's almost done. Let's leave it to Your Majesty to recover Runan."
Huang Zhong quickly made a decision to ask Sun Ce to lead the remaining 8,000 cavalry to quickly rush to Chen County. He also brought his troops to Chen County with his troops.
