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 rebels 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...
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The rebel 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 a thousand divine soldiers to come out and throw them, 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 army were victorious, and Su Lie, the commander-in-chief, achieved the first success in marching south to Yangzhou! The good news was sent to Yuzhou to boost the morale of the rest of the army.
This battle is Su Lie's first battle going south, and it's a good start! The beginning of this battle will bring about the name Su Lie and Su Dingfang, and let it resound throughout the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty!
Huang Zhong and others led his soldiers to clean the battlefield and 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 they organized the 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 towards Sun Jian's place. As for Sun Jian, after several battles, he was appointed governor of Lujiang County. He understood the importance of his generals, so when he returned to Yangzhou, he recruited talents along the way.
Received: Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao, Han Dang, Sun Li, Sun Xin, Gu Dasao, Jie Zhen, Jie 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 people, but he still lacked a counselor and a commander!
Sun Jian was overjoyed after receiving Su Lie's letter. Then he heard that the scouts from the army came to report that Su Lie's army defeated the bandit army and won the first battle.
"There are countless capable ministers and strangers under Yuan Gongli's command, I envy them!"
Sighing with helplessness in his heart, Sun Jian raised his arms and shouted, 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 towards 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, and no one was led by them for the time being. Even the Ba bandits, Ji bandits, Wei Changhui, Xiao Chaogui and others, whether they are named Hong Xiuquan or Liu Xinmin, are all called 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's sudden move south to support Sun Jian made Liu Xinmin and Hong Xiuquan furious!
"Where are the Ba bandits and Ji 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 general is here!"
"I order the three of you to bring an army of 30,000 people to attack Lujiang County and bring back 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. On one side, they dealt with Su Lie's army, and on the other side, they attacked Lujiang, hoping to force Su Lie to retreat...
The bandit army gathered here and divided into two groups!
At this time, Su Liejun had arrived in Xunyang County and was getting closer to Lujiang County.
Sun Jianjun and Su Liejun fought against Yang Xiuqing's tribe and the Ba bandit tribe. Tens of thousands of troops were at war!
As soon as Sun Jian's army left the city, they encountered Yang Xiuqing's troops who came to attack, and were helpless. The two armies had no choice but to conduct a field battle in a relatively biased place...
Judging from the number of troops, Sun Jian's troops did not have the upper hand. This weakened the morale of his troops, and they were beaten and fled during the battle!
Although generals such as Sun Jian and Huang Gai 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, so it is not surprising that Sun Jianjun is defeated for the time being!
Then look to the other side, here is Su Liejun. Su Lie and others marched to Xunyang County and were attacked by Ba bandits and others.
The army was panicked for a while, but thanks to Su Lie's strong commanding ability, 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 his army did not take advantage, the Ba bandits cursed secretly, then ordered their troops to retreat and led the entire army to retreat as quickly as possible.
Zhang Fei and other generals were about to give chase, but were stopped by Su Lie!
"Don't pursue the poor invaders. I see their troops retreating in an orderly manner amidst chaos. I'm afraid there may be an ambush."
The generals nodded, and the army immediately reorganized on the spot and set up camp for the time being to cook.
Su Lie's move was a pain in the ass for the bandits and others who carefully laid an ambush. Seeing that the Han army was not fooled, the Ji bandits and the Ba bandits could only 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 be as reckless and impulsive as him, stupidly rushing to fight the general.
"Brother Ba, what can we do..."
The bandit's plan comes from his heart. He approaches Ba bandit and whispers in his ear. After hearing this, the Ba bandit nodded and praised the bandit for his resourcefulness!
Immediately, the Ba bandits and the Ji bandits regrouped and led their troops to ambush in a dense forest fifty miles outside Xunyang County, which was the only way for Su Lie to lead to Lujiang County. Lay a trap and wait for Su Lie's army to take the bait...
On the other hand, Su Lie here, after being attacked by the bandits, had already concentrated his attention and calmly thought of strategies to defeat the enemy!
"Report! We still have 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 officers and soldiers in the army knew about this report. It made everyone raise their arms and shout with joy!
