Cao Chun, who could no longer move half of his body, was lying on the ground, breathing heavily towards the sky. Suddenly, a very ugly, very black face with a scar that did not look like a human suddenly appeared above him.
.
"Zihe (Cao Chunzi), are you dead?" Xu Chu said to Cao Chun, who was half unconscious on the ground, with his mouth full of stench and foam.
Because Xu Chu was an old minister under Cao Zhi, he always yelled at these Cao family members, big or small, and called them by their names.
Cao Chun, who was about to lose consciousness from the pain of his injury, was stricken by Xu Chu's bad breath just in time, and he had no choice but to come back to his senses. Cao Chun curled his lips in disgust, and opened his mouth without showing any signs of weakness: "You
Even though I’m dead, I’m not even dead!”
"Hey, it's good that you're not dead. Let's hurry up. According to the scout's report, there is another Sun Jing reinforcement from Changsha coming here quickly. We want to take advantage of the enemy's hasty attack by us at night to kill them.
The teams that have not yet established their position will drive out of Baqiu City and seize the entire city! If their rear group enters the city to join Sun Jing after dawn, we are afraid that we will lose the entire Baqiu!"
"Damn it, where did Sun Jing come from and the reinforcements, Xu Chu... Oh, don't lie about the military situation..." Cao Chun endured the pain and yelled at Xu Chu.
"It's true!" This sentence was not said by Xu Chu, but the voice came from behind Xu Chu. Cao Chun endured the severe pain, turned his head, and finally saw Dian Wei who had just walked behind Xu Chu.
Dian Wei is an old minister of Cao Cao. Even if Cao Chun is far away, Cao Chun can recognize the shining special double halberds at a glance.
"The scout who delivered the message is from Ren Gong, and he is already in Changsha!" Dian Wei took a few steps, bowed very politely and said calmly to Cao Chun, who was half-proping his body.
Cao Chun's mind suddenly became confused. The "Ren Gong" Dian Wei mentioned was naturally Cao Chun's well-known brother Cao Ren. But wasn't he supposed to go to reinforce Chibi? Why did he end up in Changsha? Cao Chun didn't know this.
It's not in the plan. And how could there be reinforcements behind Sun Jing? Didn't it mean that he had moved all his family's money out of his hometown in Changsha? I heard that he even brought his children with him this time.
But then Cao Chun thought that maybe the information he had received before was wrong. People's hometown in Changsha would never be emptied out. At any rate, hundreds of old, weak and remnant soldiers could still be evacuated. If only such a few people came to join Baqiu's fight
It's so exciting, Cao Ren doesn't need to send someone to notify them who are intercepting here to immediately launch a counterattack, right?
The series of questions made Cao Chun's head hurt all of a sudden. After shaking his head twice, Cao Chun simply stopped thinking and said to Xu Chu: "Help me up, let's seize the city!"
"Can you do it? How about I go with Lao Dian and you can help us in the back..."
"I can do it!"
Cao Chun interrupted Xu Chu, who was grinning and looking down on others, before he could finish his words. He grabbed one of Xu Chu's arms and forced himself up.
Cao Chun, who was obviously very weak before this, might even have to use a rope to be fixed on the horse, but with his gritted teeth and persistence, Xu Chu pushed him onto the back of the horse and followed the team forward. He seemed to have regained his energy immediately.
.
Xu Chu and others didn't know whether Cao Chun was using pain to stimulate himself, or whether he was really energized by seeing the suddenly expanded team. In short, Cao Chun, as the first commander of the Hubao Battalion, immediately issued a counterattack to Ba Qiu to his subordinates.
The generals of the two southeastern cities.
A loud rallying horn then sounded in the city. Led by generals, the sergeants of Cao's army at various defense points rushed out of the streets of the defense area in groups. Driven by the officers, they hurriedly rushed out with weapons in hand.
He headed towards the location of Cao Chun, Xu Chu and others.
But no matter how hard they gathered, there were only less than a thousand men left. Half of Cao Chun's troops had been defeated by Sun Jing's Changsha Army in the previous three days of defensive battles, and now Xu Chu and Dian Wei's reinforcements were added.
, they barely scraped together a lineup of more than 2,800 people.
But with this small number of people, as long as Cao Ren's large army behind the reinforcements coming from Changsha arrived in time, they would still be enough for Sun Jing to drink!
#######When Baqiu Nancheng heard the report of his subordinates' defeat in Baqiu City, Sun Jing was lecturing the generals in a tower in Nancheng.
"The enemy has sent reinforcements. Which magic soldier is Cao Chun who is here to reinforce him?" Cao Chun, who had already figured out that his opponent was Sun Jing, changed his face when he heard that Cao Chun, who occupied half of Baqiu City, had sent reinforcements. He immediately
He rushed out of the city tower, looked in the direction of Beicheng, and was stunned for a while.
At this moment, a war horse and a knight on the saddle, both dressed in bloody Sun Army uniforms, galloped to the south gate of Baqiu City.
When the knight arrived at the city gate, he fell off his horse. The Changsha sergeant guarding the gate quickly helped him up. The knight, who was still barely able to hold on for breath, grabbed a packet of bloody letters from his arms and spoke intermittently.
He said vaguely: "Quickly... report to the Tai... Shou... Lord..."
After saying this, the knight delivering the letter tilted his head and breathed his last breath. Sun Jing's subordinates did not dare to delay and immediately forwarded the letter to Sun Jing on the city defense.
Sun Jing, the only remaining authentic member of the Sun family's older generation, read the letter that was sent to her, and her face immediately became twisted and frantic!
Because Sun Jing's facial expressions while reading the letter were so rich that the subordinate officers and soldiers standing next to Sun Jing didn't quite understand whether the letter was good news or bad news.
It wasn't until Sun Jing's gaping mouth finally closed that everyone felt relieved. Sun Jing suddenly gritted her teeth and said: "Send the order! The whole army attacks! No matter what the cost! The two northeastern cities guarded by Cao Chun must be broken immediately.
!”
"ah?"
Many of Sun Jing's subordinates thought they had heard wrongly. Sun Jing, who had always been prudent and conservative in doing things, even knew that Cao Chun had increased his troops, so he went out in full force to capture Cao Chun's camp.
"But sir, did Cao Chun just receive additional troops?"
"Yes, that's why we have to deal with them immediately. Cao Chun and Cao Chun's reinforcements are all exhausted soldiers. Cao Chun's original people have been beaten by us, and the new ones must be exhausted.
, we have been marching step by step for many days, but we failed to hit a single blow just now. As long as our entire army presses forward, it will not take more than an hour or two to clear them out. Brothers have been fighting hard for several days, and now is the time for us to destroy the enemy.
Opportunity!”
After Sun Jing said that, Sun Jing, who had always regarded herself as an old man of the Sun family, turned around and walked down the tower in person. It seemed that she was going to lead her troops into the battle in person this time.
The general who was still stunned at the local area immediately followed Sun Jing, and then the horn for the entire army to assemble was blown in the direction of Nancheng. Sun Jing's subordinates didn't have time to think about anything, and they all thought that Sun Jing might be right.
At the last moment before dawn, a surge of energy gnawed off the bone that was entrenched in the city.
Now that the battle has reached this point, everyone knows that no matter how tough Cao Chun's guys are, they have finally reached their limit. Perhaps they can defeat them with one more charge in one go.
The Changsha Army, which had been quickly assembled in a long line, went down to the city, got on the horse, and with a wave of his hand, Sun Jing started rumbling towards the streets in the city and ran away.
Almost for the first time in her life, Sun Jing mustered up all her courage in a desperate situation to deceive her loyal subordinates. Once she had taken this step, Sun Jing looked at her remaining few thousand soldiers and went to fight like this.
When I died, I immediately felt that the riding crop in my hand was as heavy as a thousand catties!
At this moment, Sun Jing still had his usual demeanor. He felt uncomfortable all over. He roared wildly, used all his strength, and rode forward across his own army.
In fact, his throat was already full of blood. The blood there couldn't be anyone else's but his own. But when his face turned red, he still resisted his impulse and warned himself not to tell the truth.
Telling the truth about these brothers would be tantamount to abandoning them to Cao's army, and the morale of the army would immediately be shattered. Although Sun Ce died at such an important moment, there are still so many people like Sun Quan, Sun Bi, and Sun Fu supporting this situation, so we are not afraid
, Sun Bi, Sun Fu are already close to Baqiu, aren't they? There is still a chance, there is a chance!
Sun Jing comforted her racing heart and forced herself to calm down.
It turned out that when the news of Sun Ce's death reached Sun Jing, Sun Ben and Sun Fu also slightly changed their strategic goals under the instruction of Sun Quan. Sun Quan wanted to be conservative at this time, so he first let Sun Ben and Sun Fu's vanguard go.
Went to Changsha, the old base of their Sun family, to stabilize the empty Changsha.
Sun Quan thought this way. His eldest brother died. Although he has succeeded him as chief, their situation is still not optimistic. At this time, Wu Jing also rushed to Sun Quan's army. Although he was not the most optimistic about Sun Quan succeeding Sun Ce, he
In such critical moments, Sun Quan is also his nephew, so Wu Jing can still provide Sun Quan with pertinent advice.
At this time, it also reflected that he was as steady and conservative as Sun Jing. Wu Jing reminded Sun Quan that Sun Jing was currently blocked in Baqiu. Since the troops that Cao Jun could deploy far exceeded them, Wu Jing suggested that Sun Quan not only
Consider quickly reinforcing Sun Jing and capture Baqiu, and also consider stabilizing Sun Jing and their retreat, which is Sun Jing's home base in Changsha.
At this time, Sun Quan suddenly felt a heavy responsibility because Sun Ce had put the fate of their family and the entire Jiangdong on him. With the sense of responsibility, Sun Quan suddenly felt
He has also become a bit more mature. When he heard Wu Jing's suggestion, he thought it was very reasonable. Now the whole war was not good for them. His army was delayed because of Sun Ce's death. If Sun Jing could not reach Baqiu in time, Sun Jing would be very worried.
They might be eaten. But at this time, due to Zhang Hong's deliberate arrangement, Sun Quan and Sun Fu's front troops were already approaching Baqiu.
