The first thousand one hundred and sixty-three chapters
"My lord, the defeated Yellow Turban soldiers have reorganized their defense line at the city lord's palace."
"Moreover, in some nearby houses, many Yellow Turban troops are urgently carrying supplies, as if they are piling up flammable objects in the houses. They may attack with fire!" Sun Jian cautiously led his troops to pursue them, constantly sending out scouts.
Investigation.
"Sure enough! Although the enemy was able to break through a city wall, it was not a complete defeat. Why are these Yellow Turbans so difficult to deal with!" Huang Gai wiped his face and said bitterly.
They attacked Dangyang City, but they risked being destroyed. It would be terrible if they could not occupy Dangyang City in one fell swoop and were surrounded by the pursuers and Jiangling City soldiers and horses!
On the other hand, after Sun Jian heard that the fire attack objects were deployed near the city lord's palace, the solemn look on his face actually faded a bit, and his whole person seemed to relax.
The enemy dared to arrange it like this, which seemed to meet some of Sun Jian's expectations.
Sun Jian stopped, took out an animal skin map, spread it out and looked at it.
Seeing this, everyone else waited attentively. The map was the distribution map of Dangyang City. This distribution map had been in Sun Jian's hands a long time ago. It was available before they left Changsha.
After a while, Sun Jian seemed to have made a plan, put away the map, and began to give orders: "Cheng Pu listens to the order, you lead 3,000 troops to surround from the third street in the west, be careful not to attack by force, we have to surround
them!"
"No!" Cheng Pu heard the words and responded directly.
"Ling Cao, you lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to advance from the fifth street on the east side. You can also press them up. There is no need to attack them."
"No!" A burly man came out and took the order.
"Zu Mao, Ling Tong listen to the order, you lead five thousand troops, take the eighth street to the east, bypass the city lord's palace, attack behind the enemy, and surround the enemy."
"No!" The two of them obeyed the order.
"Others, follow me!" Sun Jian said forcefully.
"The Yellow Turban Army did not launch a sneak attack when we attacked the city, which means that the Yellow Turban Army did not ambush near Dangyang City. In fact, the Yellow Turban Army behind may not come to Dangyang City to pursue us. Maybe... we still have
Time!" Sun Jian said loudly.
If the enemy still has an ambush behind Huarong Road, it is most likely that they launched a surprise attack from behind when they attacked Dangyang City. In that case, they may really be completely defeated when they are under siege. However, this situation did not
occur.
Moreover, although the Yellow Turban Army in the city was defeated, it was not a case of feigning defeat. They were still preparing fire tactics around them, which meant that the enemy did not have an ambush in the city.
The hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops in Dangyang City are his soldiers!
"Everyone, start taking action! This time, we are going to capture all the Yellow Turbans in the city. This is our effective force for the Northern Expedition." Sun Jian explained.
Having lost hundreds of thousands of troops, they no longer have any advantage if they want to go north to join Huangfu Song or Zhu Jun.
The two of them actually didn't have many troops, so it was impossible to allocate 200,000 troops to him, a foreign general who had suffered a disastrous defeat.
Therefore, they can only temporarily recruit soldiers and horses. Yellow Turban prisoners are the best choice at present.
Rumble!!!
The 20,000 troops began to divide into four groups and slowly surrounded the Yellow Turban Army, which was relying on the city lord's palace and was preparing to resist.
In addition to the 40,000 retired troops, there are many capable Yellow Turban soldiers in the city. There are also many strong soldiers on the other three walls. Sun Jian's 100,000 soldiers can actually be satisfied.
When Sun Jian's troops were divided into four groups, a force quickly entered the city from the captured city gate. The leader was a young and heroic general in his prime.
"Father led his troops to chase the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army?! Sure enough, Dangyang City is a piece of paper... Our 20,000 elite troops easily captured it. If hundreds of thousands of troops are still there, Nan County may be able to recover!" Sun Cegao
vocal tract.
"Yes! Yes! The general's words are brilliant! My lord is too cautious. If we also join the battle, the Yellow Turban Army may not even be defeated, but simply surrender on the spot!" a military general said flatteringly.
"Forget it, since my father is going after the Yellow Turban Army, let's clean up the debris on the city wall first, and let's get moving." Sun Ce knew the mission his father had given him. Because the army was ambushed, there were no logistics troops, only elites like them.
I went to clean up the battlefield myself.
"I hope my father can successfully capture the Yellow Turban Army!" Sun Ce Yingwu thought with a worried look on his face.
He was not worried that his father would be hit, but that he was worried that the Yellow Turban Army was plotting again.
The battle of Huarong Road really made them suffer a lot!
Fire attack...falling rocks...fire bull formation...the Yellow Turban ambush army, which had the advantage of sneak attacks and numerical superiority, actually used various insidious tactics to make them suffer.
Many soldiers were greatly shocked. After all, they watched Paoze being burned to death, being crushed into mud by boulders, and being stabbed to death by flaming bulls... all very horrific experiences!
In the battle of Huarongdao, in addition to killing hundreds of thousands of troops, it also vaguely hit his father's spine.
The enemy may want to break the backbone of his father Sun Jian's spiritual beliefs!
Because he always felt that the person who plotted against them always faced them with very malicious means.
He is so keen that he feels as if his opponents are trying to torture them mentally!
This is a terrifying opponent!
Therefore, being young and energetic, he did not disobey his father's instructions and obediently led his troops to lie in wait in the woods on one side.
According to his past personality, he would have followed his father to the city wall to attack the city.
Sun Ce rode on a tall war horse and stared at the well-located buildings, with a hint of conviction in his dark eyes.
Soon, Sun Ce's men climbed onto the city wall, began to take over the defense on the city wall, and also cleared the battlefield.
Moreover, Sun Ce actually took matters into his own hands and worked with the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
Judging from the past, Sun Ce would not be able to do these jobs at all.
The Battle of Huarong Dao really had a great impact. It was not only Sun Jian and others who changed, but also Sun Ce!
If Zhang Huozhu and Lin Mu knew this would happen, they didn't know whether they would laugh or think deeply!
While Sun Ce was cleaning up the battlefield, a faint voice sounded again in a residence behind Sun Jian:
"Elder...the commander-in-chief of the military division is really powerful. He even planned to divide Sun Jian's troops to attack the city..."
"It feels like the commander-in-chief can predict the future!" A thin-looking man came out of the shadows and said hoarsely.
"If the Commander-in-Chief can win the favor of General Tiangong, there must be something special about him. Let's just follow him." Another thin figure came out.
Like a chain reaction, emaciated figures walked out of the small residential room one after another.
Not only were these people thin, but they were also dressed unusually. They were all wearing blue robes and holding green bamboo sticks in their hands.
"It's time to leave!" a thin figure said quietly.
