In essence, Chen Deng's plan was to encircle a point for reinforcements, use a small force to burn the warships to attract Jiangdong's army to rescue, and then let Zhang Liao set up an ambush on Reed Mountain.
However, there are only 6,000 troops and horses in Guangling City. It is obviously unrealistic to divide the troops to burn ships, arrange ambushes, and leave troops to defend the city.
Therefore, when he thought of borrowing Lin Mo's name, he had absolute confidence that as long as Guangling City was filled with "Lin" banners, even if it was an empty city, Jiangdong would not dare to attack the city.
How could he have imagined that with such a deceit, he would frighten all the Jiangdong generals and withdraw their entire army.
There is no way, this is the disadvantage of not having a military advisor on the front line. Of course, Sun Quan also helped a lot in this matter.
If he hadn't concealed the information about Xiao Guan's change of ownership, he would definitely not have caused the generals to fall into a great panic. Even veteran generals like Han Dang felt that they should withdraw, fearing that Lu Bu's cavalry would suddenly go south. .
Therefore, when Jiang Dong's endless team appeared, Zhang Liao, who was ambushing on the Reed Mountain, was dumbfounded.
The terrain of Reed Mountain is quite interesting. On the left is the tributary of Surabaya River and on the right is the tributary of Yishui River. You can find a shoal and wade across it, but in order to rush for time, Jiangdong will definitely choose to risk crossing the hill.
Zhang Liao was very confident about this when Chen Deng performed the sand table deduction, but he never imagined that this plan could bring in so many Jiangdong troops. It was clear that the entire army came out.
Looking at it this way, the ambush circle is still too small. We can only wait for the front army to pass through and cut the team in the middle so that the head and tail cannot look at each other, and there will be chaos!
"Why is it this kid again?"
Zhang Liao was very puzzled. He saw him yesterday when he was rushing into the battle. He was at the forefront of the army, but his martial arts were poor and he stayed far away as soon as the battle started.
Today he is no longer in the front army, but the central army is here. I will send him away with you later. It is not pleasing to the eye.
Zhang Liao slowly raised his right hand, and when he saw that it was almost done, he suddenly dropped it.
The next breath, a rumbling sound was heard, and boulders and oak trees rolled down from the Reed Mountainside. At the same time, a hail of arrows poured down.
Jiang Dongjun, who was in a hurry, rushed to rescue the warship, and at the same time, he also wanted to go home. Suddenly he encountered this ambush, and he was at a loss. He was shot over by hundreds of people in one encounter.
A huge boulder rolled down and hit a Jiangdong captain squarely. The huge impact force broke the steel gun he was blocking, causing a dent in his chest. He vomited blood and died.
"Kill!" At the same time, the four thousand troops on the mountain waved their weapons and rushed down like a flood.
"Don't be chaotic, defend the enemy!" Sun Quan took out the white rainbow from his waist and waved it left and right, knocking down the arrows that threatened him.
That was the shout, but no one could have expected that Lu Jun would set up an ambush here. In addition, the team was split into two by the falling boulder, and they could not look at each other. They fell into a great panic for a while.
"Zhang Wenyuan is here!"
Here comes that man, here he comes again.
Zhang Liao, who was riding a gray shadow and waving a hooked sickle in his hand, shouted his name. The empty valley echoed for a long time, and those who were less timid were frightened to the point of being unable to move.
The long sword in Zhang Liao's hand slashed left and right more easily than yesterday's formation. Wherever he went, everyone retreated after hearing Zhang Liao's name. If he took even half a step, he would become a dead soul under the sword.
Yu Jin and Xu Sheng, who rushed out from behind, encountered Chen Wu, Dong Xi and Jiang Qin fighting together, with two against three taking advantage.
If Zhang Liao arrived at this time, I think the three of them would be defeated instantly.
Zhang Liao may not have missed this scene, but he had his own ideas. He fought his way through the chaotic team, targeting the sergeants carrying the banners. He rushed forward and chopped down all the opponent's flags of generals and commanders.
After this incident, the already extremely turbulent Jiangdong Army was unable to fight anymore. Sun Quan repeatedly shouted: "The front army withdraws, and the rear army crosses the river around the ford and meets at the river bank!"
It's a good thing that he didn't shout. This shout attracted Zhang Liao who was not far away from him.
Zhang Liao, who had cut off six generals' flags and one commander's flag, came over upon hearing the sound. The hooked sickle in his hand brought out patches of cold light. Wherever he passed, corpses lay everywhere.
"Master, be careful!" Pan Zhang rushed towards him with his sword in hand. Even though he didn't like Sun Quan's actions, how could Pan Zhang ignore Sun Quan's favor after being rewarded by Sun Ce?
Seeing the two fighting, Sun Quan hurriedly rode back.
In the current situation, it was obviously safer to run forward. The only option was to exit the Reed Mountain, then find a ford to cross the river, and then go to the riverside.
The problem is that there has been a congestion in front of him, and Zhang Liao's intimidation effect is too strong. Sun Quan almost instinctively wants to stay away from this person.
Pan Zhang and Zhang Liao fought for more than ten times on horseback. Seeing the soldiers around them running away, Pan Zhang couldn't help but want to leave the battlefield.
In a duel between fierce generals, flaws would be revealed if they were distracted even a little bit, let alone Zhang Liao, who was already far superior to him in martial arts.
When he was distracted, the hook and sickle picked up the big knife in Pan Zhang's hand, pulled it around and then suddenly flicked it, and the big knife in Pan Zhang's hand flew out.
Phew~
After the long knife passed by, a human head with frightened eyes was thrown away.
After all, Zhang Liao is a warrior who has been fighting for many years. He is completely different from Xu Sheng's excitement after beheading Ling Cao. He searched the surroundings without wavering, but found that except for a thousand Jiangdong sergeants scurrying around like headless flies, there were no more warriors on horseback. Will.
Even Yu Jin and Xu Sheng were nowhere to be seen, and they were probably being hunted in depth.
He looked ahead, then looked behind him, and decided to pursue him from behind. After all, the road to the riverside was far away.
The ambush at Luwei Mountain, not to mention how many Jiangdong troops were defeated, turned Zhang Liao's name from a shadow to a scourge.
As a veteran, Han Dang was originally leading the way. After the news of the attack on the Chinese army came, he did not lead anyone to rescue. He knew that going to rescue at this time was tantamount to fighting the fire with salary.
What he had to do was to lead people to the Yangtze River ferry and protect the warships. That was the only hope of escape.
Sun Quan, who had sneaked into the rear, should have been riding his horse to lead the way. However, after a series of nightmare encounters, he had lost all control and was actually running around, eager to find a ford to cross the tributary of the Si River.
Along the way, many soldiers who were being chased chose to jump directly into the tributaries of the Si River. The Jiangdong Army was proficient in water properties. After running wildly, their bodies became hot and then suddenly encountered the biting ice water. Many of them went into shock without having the chance to use their water properties. The past has sunk forever.
The sounds of falling water and wailings filled his ears, all of which seemed to be telling Sun Quan the truth. From now on, he would be nailed to the pillar of shame in Jiangdong, and people would continue to spurn him.
If he hadn't been eager to make a contribution and cross the river regardless of the fact that Xiao Pass changed hands, such a tragic scene would never have happened.
Finally, he found a shoal and shouted: "You can cross the water here!"
After the war horse got down, it only reached the joints. Jiangdong Jun jumped down in panic. The near-freezing water temperature instantly made them feel a little difficult to breathe. When they were fleeing, no one could care about it. Survival was the only way.
Sun Quan's shouts led Jiangdong's army to gather here, and they rode their horses to kill them from a distance. The Jiangdong army in the water moved slowly, and it was easy to kill them with the palm of their hand.
But after chasing the defeated soldiers all the way, he had long lost interest in these lone soldiers, and his eyes were fixed on the people on horseback.
The man had just waded through the water and had just landed ashore. He was about to leave quickly. It would be too risky to chase him through the water. Yu Jin simply raised the big knife in his hand and threw it hard at the man's back.
The moment the broadsword was released, like a stream of light, it flew more than four feet away and accurately inserted into the back of the horseman, and the blade was half-engulfed.
He straightened up and collapsed.
After landing, the young man lying on his side felt that the pale sky in front of him was becoming blurry, and the sounds of fighting and wailing lingering in his ears were slowly fading away. The world seemed to have suddenly become quiet.
In front of him, a man in his forties wearing armor appeared with an ancient ingot knife on his waist and slowly walked towards him.
In the illusion, the man smiled slightly and stroked the boy's head.
"Father, my child has embarrassed the Sun family. My child is wrong."
He only murmured these few words, blood flowed from his mouth along the corners of his mouth, his pupils were dilated, and there was no movement at all.
Behind Yu Jin, the officers and soldiers of Lu Jun stopped here after chasing him. This kind of weather and water temperature will kill people. It can be seen with the naked eye that even if the water only reaches the thigh level, from time to time, Jiangdong Army will be killed due to hypothermia. Swallowed by the river.
They looked around with scruples, and in the end they could only greet and shout: "Crossbowman! Where is the crossbowman!"
This flowing water submerged more than a few Jiangdong troops, but it also became the key to saving their lives.
When Xu Sheng rushed over, Jiangdong's army had already crossed the river, but he saw a horse on the other side of the river. He rode the horse across the water regardless of the cold water.
The name of this horse is Jade Dragon. It is all white in body and has a strong posture. It is bigger than Xu Sheng's horse just in size. At first glance, he can tell that it is a good horse, and he is going to pull it away immediately.
"Wen Xiang! I killed him!" Yu Jin shouted to Xu Sheng across the river bank. Sun Quan still had Yu Jin's sword stuck in his body, which is the best proof.
"Wen Ze, don't be so stingy. If I had a good horse, why would I be here now?" Xu Sheng looked at him with a flattering look.
The mount is the legs of the general, and its importance is self-evident.
There is a saying that Guan Yu was able to kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou because the red rabbit horse launched a surprise attack with lightning speed.
Yu Jin also understood this truth. The horse seemed to be better than his own war horse, but he still decided to bear the pain and give up.
For no other reason than to return Lin Mo's favor.
He knew that Xu Sheng was from Lin Mo, and wherever there were people, there were rivers and lakes. As a surrendered general, Yu Jin had an in-depth understanding of all the forces in the camp.
Later, when he saw Xu Sheng picking up the man's sword, Yu Jin couldn't bear it anymore, "Don't go too far!"
Xu Sheng pulled the Baihong Sword out of its scabbard. The sword was shining brightly. He knew it was a sword at a glance. He smiled without saying a word. After riding on the jade dragon, he waded into the water again and came to Yu Jin.
"Wen Ze, I have a suggestion. The young master is missing a sword. Why don't you give me the sword as a gift? He will be happy."
Yu Jin snorted coldly and grabbed the Baihong Sword, "If you want to give it away, I will give it away!"
Xu Sheng curled his lips and stroked the jade dragon on his crotch, feeling very good.
When Zhang Liao arrived with his horse, Yu Jin and Xu Sheng had already led their troops back. It was a pity that they only killed one general today.
However, Zhang Liao felt very happy when he defeated the 30,000 Jiangdong army with 6,000 soldiers and horses. This great achievement made Zhang Liao feel very happy.
Finally, I no longer have to envy Zhao Zilong.
Zhang Liao led the swaggering squad and also sent people to the Jiangdong camp. Since they had not seen their grain trucks and baggage from the beginning to the end, he hoped to get some benefits.
Of course, there had been a fire there a long time ago, so it was impossible for Sun Quan to leave anything behind for them.
When they returned to Guangling City, Zhang Liao waved and shouted in his signature way that a celebration banquet would be held, and it would be held by the entire battalion and held to the highest standards.
forage? Is it important? If it’s not enough, just leave it to my nephew.
Chen Deng had expected that he would return with a great victory. He also pointed to the military merits gained from this incident to help the Chen family become the number one family in Xuzhou, but they defeated Jiangdong's army. This was something he didn't dare to think about. of.
No one has kept statistics on today's gains, but the number of prisoners brought back was more than 2,000.
Many of them were willing to lay down their weapons and surrender because they could not find a ford in time to cross the Si River tributary.
"General Wenyuan is so strong!"
Chen Deng shivered with joy. It would be a bit unreasonable if this shocking victory had not been given to me by the prefect. He immediately bowed and said: "I thought that the celebration banquet must be eaten, but the general still writes first Please send a quick report to Marquis Wen, so that he can rest assured!"
This is not an express report. It is clearly my, Chen Deng’s, promotion certificate.
Zhang Liao nodded, "This is natural, Yuanlong, you are right. If I had robbed the camp last night, no matter how hard I won, I would not have been able to fight like this today. I will make your contribution clear."
"Thank you, general. Thank you, general." Chen Deng grinned like a lotus flower.
"That's right, General."
Yu Jin from the side came over and said, "After asking the prisoners, the one Wen Xiang killed yesterday was Jiangdong general Ling Cao. The general killed Pan Zhang, a leader of the younger generation. As for the last general, he killed."
Yu Jin smiled sheepishly and said, "It's Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan, who has been appointed as the Marching Sima."
This matter seemed a bit difficult for Yu Jin to talk about, and it was okay for him to think so. After all, Sun Quan at this period was just a young boy with yellow hair, and he was far from the Sun Shiwan who could claim the title of emperor.
Moreover, this name will never exist again.
Zhang Liao grunted and prepared the letter. Yu Jin handed over the Bai Hong Sword with both hands, "This sword is Sun Quan's sword. The sword is engraved with the word Bai Hong. It is a precious sword. I also asked Kuai Ma to send it with him. I made it clear." It must have been given to Marquis Lanling by the last general."
"Thank you very much for my nephew." Zhang Liao took the sword and turned around and left.
It's a pity that I only killed one Sun Quan, so his military achievements are probably far inferior to that guy Wen Xiang. As for Zhang Liao, that's not the person I need to compare with.
After this battle, he will become famous all over the world and become a nightmare like Jiangdong.
I just hope that Marquis Lanling will be happy when he sees the sword I gave him.
A bit of Shantouism thought slowly took root
Alas, I am feeling tired as I write these few pages.
I am really grateful to the brothers who voted. At least it gave me a little bit of comfort in my heart and I didn’t lose my composure.
There is foreshadowing in this plot. It does not need to happen as some readers say. It is just for the sake of bragging. I can responsibly say that what is happening now is related to the big plot behind it.
Finally, thank you to the brothers who are following me. Without you, this book would not exist.
So, vote for a monthly vote or something?
