"Three thousand people are the vanguard, Lu Bu is humiliating me." In the council hall of Guangling County and Guangling County, an armored young man in his early twenties sneered: "When I rob the camp tonight, I will break his vanguard first!"
The young man wears a black gold helmet and crown, his face is like a crown jade, his eyes are like bright stars, and his face is resolute. He is the young and talented young overlord Sun Bofu who laid the foundation of Jiangdong.
He crossed the river from Yuzhang with 5,000 Jiangdong soldiers and entered Guangling. Adding in Wu Jing's original 8,000 troops, the total was no less than 13,000.
When they fought against Liu Yao, Yan Baihu, and Wang Lang, they all had more troops than themselves, so they were not afraid, not to mention that their troops were currently overwhelming.
"The enemy's vanguard this time is Gao Shun, the second most powerful general under Lu Bu's command. I heard that he is not only brave and good at fighting, but also has an invincible attack on the 800-strong bodyguard camp. My lord, please don't be careless." His face is like jade, and his lips are like red. Zhou Yu, who also wore armor and used a sword, was much calmer.
"If we don't take action now, we may miss the opportunity when Lu Bu's army arrives."
Sun Ce held the edge of the table with both hands, his eyes dancing with helplessness, and said solemnly: "If you avoid fighting, your morale will be low, and the powerful families will also look down upon you."
In fact, Sun Ce is not completely reckless, he is very aware of his situation.
Now that you want to take over Guangling, you should show your strength to stabilize Guangling.
You must know that the eight thousand people under Wu Jingshou were Yuan Shu's Huainan soldiers, and the two counties of Huainan fell into Lu Bu's hands. Facing this nine-yuan tiger, these people will inevitably feel timid.
Another one, shocking the powerful family.
On the other side of Jiangdong, the four major families of Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang did not give him a good look, and there were some conflicts over this. Sun Ce's temperament was that he would do whatever he didn't accept, and the four major families were not used to it. The other aristocratic families were slightly weaker. They were all severely suppressed by him, and their hands were often stained with blood.
It will definitely be easier to cross the river to attract powerful families than in Jiangdong this time, because Zhang Zhao and Zhuge Jin will come over later. These two people are locals in Xuzhou, quite famous, and they are familiar with each other. It will be much easier to speak with them. .
The premise is that you must be able to gain a firm foothold in Guangling.
Therefore, there was no way he could avoid fighting this battle.
"My lord has a heavy responsibility, how can he go out lightly? The last general is willing to rob the enemy camp at night and provoke his troops!" Taishi Ci, a tall and strong man in the military generals sequence, carrying two halberds on his back, stood up and bowed to ask for orders.
Sun Ce's eyes flashed with admiration. Taishi Ci was the strongest general under his command. In the battle at Shenting Ridge, the two were evenly matched, so Sun Ce had absolute trust in his abilities.
"good!"
Sun Ce patted the table and walked up to Tai Shici, "Ziyi, Gao Shunlao's army is far away and he has just arrived at the stronghold. He must be short of men and horses. The camp will be robbed tonight!"
I wonder how many men and horses Ziyi will need to go here? "
"A hundred horses are enough!" Taishi Ci replied sonorously.
Jiangdong is short of cavalry, and the shortage is severe. In addition to not producing war horses, procurement is difficult. Without the full support of powerful families, it is difficult for the poor to collect food and grass, let alone buy war horses.
At the most difficult time, it was Sun Ce who led his men to destroy Shanyue around Wujun and Danyang, relying on their money and food to survive.
There are only 500 cavalry in Guangling City now, and they all belong to Wu Jing, so Taishi Ci has to save his words and say, 100 cavalry is a lot.
"I will go with you forever!" Zhou Tai, who was covered in tendons and flesh, also stood up. He looked quite menacing, and a scar from the center of his eyebrows to the bridge of his nose made people feel afraid to look directly at him.
"Yes!" Sun Ce agreed happily.
When the two of them were about to turn around and go out to order troops, Zhou Yu came over and warned: "Two generals, please remember that you cannot rob a camp without fighting. Lu Bu relies on his cavalry, which is also a fear of our army.
Therefore, the main purpose of plundering the camp tonight is to destroy its stables and chill the morale of the army. Do not approach the central army tent. "
Taishi Ci and Zhou Tai looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "Gong Jin is worry-free!"
Camp hijacking is a very high-risk thing, but Zhou Yu couldn't think of a better way for a while, so he could only give it a try.
If it succeeds, the enemy will be frightened, and they can directly go out of the city to challenge the next day, and give Lu Bu's forward a fatal blow before he arrives.
...
Thirty miles outside Guangling City, a new camp was set up at the intersection of a mountain stream and a depression. The banner with the word "LV" was floating on the banner of the central army, while the banner with the word "高" was floating on the banner of the front army.
There are three thousand troops in the military camp, and the composition of these three thousand people is quite interesting.
The 1,500 cavalry were newly trained after the capture of Shouchun. The remaining infantry were two groups, one was the 800 old brothers brought by Gan Ning from Jiangxia, and the other was the 800 old brothers brought by Gao Shun. Hundreds of traps.
Gao Shun sent 300 of them to patrol the outer camp, and the night patrol inside the camp was made up of 200 people selected from Gan Ning's troops.
Gan Ning was very dissatisfied with this, "Why do my people have to patrol the camp? The general seems to be a little too partial to others."
Gao Shun's face was paralyzed and his heart was calm. He didn't argue with him, but simply explained: "The trapped camp has never participated in patrols since its establishment."
"Why, is it my stepmother?"
The corners of Gao Shun's mouth twitched, he walked up to Gan Ning, stared at him and said coldly: "I'll say it again, the trapped camp doesn't do night patrols, they only kill people, do you understand?"
Gan Ning was used to being carefree and carefree. Even Lu Bu dared to be tough. How could he be afraid of Gao Shun? They were about to fight. Liu Ye quickly stood between the two of them, "What's going on? The fight hasn't started yet, but our own people are starting to fight." Already?"
Then he pulled Gan Ning aside and said, "Marquis Wen will arrive in three days. If you really don't like it, I will just go and ask for an order from Marquis Wen."
Gan Ning snorted coldly and turned around and walked out of the Zhongjun tent. Gao Shun glanced at him unhappily. A water bandit was a water bandit and he didn't understand any rules.
After persuading the two of them, Liu Ye ran to find the craftsmen and asked them to start working overnight to make the Thunderbolt Car.
"This thing is not too complicated, but it requires a lot of items." The craftsmen all gathered together to study the Thunderbolt car drawings handed over by Liu Ye and murmured.
"It doesn't matter, I asked the soldiers to bring all the accessories before we went out. They are all placed in the granary. You can pick them up in the past." Liu Ye was full of confidence, and the craftsmen were unambiguous, nodding and starting work.
Liu Ye calculated that if everyone started working together, it would only take two days to make a Perak car.
However, it is not enough to conquer Guangling with just one Thunderbolt Chariot. If we work overnight, we should be able to make four or five before Lu Bu arrives. Taking into account the rest time, we will have eight to ten when the war starts.
It's useless to have more, after all, the boulders and tung oil that can be thrown are limited.
Because it was his first time making it, Liu Ye was deeply afraid that they would make a mistake in some aspect, so he stayed up all night and stared at the craftsmen.
At the beginning of Yin hour, in the dense forest outside the camp, a cavalryman galloped into the forest.
"General, I figured it out clearly. The enemy camp's sentinel patrol lasts about a cup of tea. In addition, the west camp has the fewest horses. If you break in from there, you can definitely succeed!"
Taishi Ci waved his hand, "Get ready to go!"
Then, hundreds of cavalry came out of the dense forest, with their heads in hand and their horses bound in hooves, approaching Gao Shun's camp under the cover of darkness.
Under the leadership of the scouts, Zhou Tai looked at Taishi Ci after arriving at the Western Village of Daying, "Let's do it!"
Taishi Ci drew out his two halberds from his back and hissed in a low voice, "Soldiers, please remember to follow me to attack from the west camp and fight out from the east camp to disrupt their formation!"
"Here!"
"kill!"
Hundreds of cavalrymen turned into arrows and flew towards the Gaoshun camp.
