Chapter 143 Sun Jians army and Su Lies army join together (Part 1)
The bandit army marched towards Shu County, but they did not know that Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei had already led their troops to wait for a long time.
"Young boys, let's go to the city."
At this time, the city gates of Shuxian County were wide open, making the rebel army rush into the city as if they were in an uninhabited land. Finally, the soldiers were asked to close the city gates and use wooden piers, sandbags, stones, etc. to block the city gates.
Sealed.
"Hahaha, how do I think the Han army will come in? We can just go up to the city wall and prepare for battle. Sir Wei Changhui will come to support us in the meantime."
The thief general thought he was right and laughed loudly.
"Whoosh"
There was a sound that broke through the sky, and the thief general felt a chill in his throat. When he lowered his head, he found that his body was dripping with blood...
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The traitor general's vision went dark, he fell backwards and fell to the ground, dead.
As soon as the leader died, the rebel soldiers were in confusion, and a sense of fear filled their hearts. At this time, on the city wall, Huang Zhong led the elite soldiers of the Thousand Gods Archer Battalion to poke their heads out, and then bent their bows downwards to set up arrows and shoot!
On the other side, Zhang Fei came out from a hiding place in the city. Soldiers pretending to be commoners drew out their hidden weapons and charged towards the rebels.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the bandits were killed, contributing a wave of summoning points to Yuan Shu.
Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei's armies were victorious. Su Lie, the commander-in-chief, was the first to move south to Yangzhou! News of the victory was sent to Yuzhou to boost the morale of the rest of the army.
This battle is Su Lie's first battle in the south, and it's a good start! The beginning of this battle will make Su Lie's name and Su Dingfang's name resound throughout the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty!
Huang Zhong and others led their soldiers to clean the battlefield, collect the weapons, horses, money carried by the rebels, etc...
When Su Lie headed towards Shu County, he saw the sounds of fighting in the city, so he naturally knew that his plan was successful!
Then he organized his army and rested temporarily outside the city, waiting for Huang Zhong and others to clean up the items blocking the city gate before entering the city...
A quarter of an hour later, Huang Zhong and others opened the city gate!
Su Lie's army entered the city, counted the battle damage, and then continued to prepare to march to other counties.
Going south to Yangzhou, Su Lie thought that he should go to Lujiang County to join Sun Jian and others, and then join forces to destroy the coalition forces of Hong Xiuquan and Liu Xinmin.
The plan was initially decided, and everyone agreed with Su Lie's idea. The army continued to move and converged towards Sun Jian. As for Sun Jian, after several battles, he was appointed as the governor of Lujiang County. He understood the importance of his generals, so he returned to Yangzhou
In the process, we recruit talented people along the way.
Received: Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao, Han Dang, Sun Li, Sun Xin, Gu Dasao, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Le He, Wu Kexuan, Sun Anzu and other generals!
In addition to the family brothers and several generals who came to vote: Sun Kuang, Sun Yi, Sun Lang, Sun Qiang, Sun Jing, Sun Hao, Sun Fu, Xu Kun, Zhu Zhi, Sun Bi, Wu Jing, Sun He...
At this time, Sun Jian had quite a few capable men, but he still lacked a counselor and a commander!
Sun Jian was overjoyed after receiving Su Lie's letter, and then he heard from the army scouts that Su Lie's army had defeated the bandit army and won the first battle.
"There are countless capable ministers and strangers under Yuan Gongdao's command, and I envy them!"
Sighing with helplessness in his heart, Sun Jian raised his arms and shouted loudly, leading an army to meet Su Lie and others.
Among them are the generals: Huang Gai, Zu Mao, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Jie Zhen, and Jie Bao.
Returning to Su Liejun's place, they marched all the way to Sun Jian's place, but they didn't know that the two rebel commanders Hong Xiuquan and Liu Xinmin were furious at the military camp!
"Damn it, you actually harmed one of my generals. I, Liu Xinmin, will not give up until I take revenge."
At this time, the two armies of Hong Xiuquan and Liu Xinmin were united into one army. For the time being, no one was led by anyone. Even the Ba bandits, Ji bandits, Wei Changhui, Xiao Chaogui and others, regardless of whether they were named Hong Xiuquan or Liu Xinmin, were all called the lord!
This shows the strength of the alliance between Hong Xiuquan and Liu Xinmin.
(This is the fact. There is a tendency for the two armies to merge with each other. Whoever agrees to occupy most of the territory in Yangzhou first will be the real sole leader.)
Therefore, Su Lie suddenly went south to support Sun Jian, which made Liu Xinmin and Hong Xiuquan furious!
"Ba bandits, where are the scheming bandits? I order you two to bring an army of 20,000 to destroy the Yuzhou army."
"Where are Yang Xiuqing, Li Xiucheng, and Xiao Chaogui?"
"The end is here!"
"I order the three of you to bring an army of 30,000 people to attack Lujiang County and bring the head of Sun Jianzhi, the governor of the county. There must be no mistake!"
Liu Xinmin and Hong Xiuquan summoned their generals and assigned tasks. One side dealt with Su Lie's army, and the other side attacked Lujiang, hoping to make Su Lie retreat...
The bandit army has gathered here and divided into two groups!
At this time, Su Lie's army had arrived in Xunyang County and was getting closer and closer to Lujiang County.
Sun Jian's army and Su Lie's army fight against Yang Xiuqing's tribe and the Ba bandit tribe. Tens of thousands of troops are at war!
As soon as Sun Jian's army left the city, they encountered Yang Xiuqing's troops who came to attack. In desperation, the two armies had to conduct a field battle in a relatively biased area...
Judging from the number of troops, Sun Jian's troops did not have the upper hand. This made the morale of his troops weak, and they were beaten and fled during the battle!
Although Sun Jian, Huang Gai and other generals have strong personal abilities, the difference in numbers cannot be changed by just one or two generals.
Yang Xiuqing, Li Xiucheng and other generals are not bad in strength, so it is not surprising that Sun Jianjun was defeated for the time being!
Looking to the other side, Su Lie's army is here. Su Lie and others marched to Xunyang County and encountered a surprise attack by the Ba bandits and others.
The army was panicked for a while, but thanks to Su Lie's strong command, he immediately commanded the army to counterattack, and asked Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei and other generals to resist, using the advantages of his fierce generals to boost the morale of the army!
"Damn it! This guy has some skills."
Seeing that the army under his command had not taken advantage, the Ba bandits cursed secretly, then ordered the troops to retreat and led the entire army to retreat as quickly as possible.
Zhang Fei and other generals were about to pursue them, but were stopped by Su Lie!
"Don't pursue the poor enemy. I see their army retreating in an orderly manner in the chaos. I'm afraid there is an ambush."
The generals nodded, and the army immediately reorganized on the spot and set up camp for the time being to make fire and cook.
Su Lie's move made Ji Bandi and others prepare a careful ambush. Seeing that the Han army was not fooled, Ji Bandi and Ba Bandi had no choice but to give up and continue to discuss how to defeat Su Lie's army!
The second general had already heard about Zhang Bandit's death, so naturally he would not act as recklessly and impulsively as he did, foolishly charging forward to fight the general.
"Brother Ba, what can we do..."
The scheming bandit came from his heart and whispered into Ba bandit's ear. After hearing this, Ba bandit nodded and praised Ji bandit for his resourcefulness!
Immediately, Ba bandit and Ji bandit regrouped and led their troops to ambush in a dense forest fifty miles outside Xunyang County, which is the only way Su Lie leads to Lujiang County. They laid traps and waited for Su Lie's army.
Taking the bait...
On the other hand, Su Lie here, after being attacked by the bandits, had already concentrated his attention and calmly thought about strategies to defeat the enemy!
"Report! There are still sixty miles to reach Lujiang. Join Sun Jian's army!"
The scout's words boosted the morale of the army. With Su Lie's permission, all the officers and soldiers in the army knew about this report. Everyone raised their arms and shouted with joy!
