Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 497
The battle was imminent, and everyone couldn't help feeling uneasy, and the hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling.

Seeing that the atmosphere was quite depressing, Wang Zheng smiled slightly, but he didn't have any worries.

This kind of self-confidence and calmness is not pretending, but Wang Zheng has sufficient confidence. As long as Sun Ce is expected to set up an ambush in advance, Wu Sheng and Huang Zhong are prepared, and they are already invincible.

No matter how many people Sun Ce ambushed, Wang Zheng also had a systematic hole card. It was impossible to consume more than 20 massive experience and pile up a lot of third-tier soldiers. Would Sun Ce's army still want to intercept the heavenly army outside the city?
Not at all possible.

It's just that Wang Zheng thought to himself that he had already figured out the details of Sun Ce, and it was impossible for him to suddenly take out many troops after the war. No more than four or five thousand at most.

He noticed that Zhou Hui and the others were looking rather sleepy, and said immediately: "Mr. Zhou, Captain Tao, Brother Wenchang, the battle outside the city has already started, and the situation on Sun Ce's side is unknown. In this case, there is probably no need to attack the city again. If this is the case, you don’t have to wait here, let’s just leave. Everyone returns to the mansion and rests earlier. When the good news comes, I will notify you as soon as possible. Everyone."

The implication is that he will personally defend the city tonight.

Zhou Hui and the others were quite moved when they heard the words, and they really felt that their energy was low at this day and age.

After all, not everyone has a superhuman physique like Wang Zheng's, and is full of energy.

From the time when Sun Ce's army came to the city, for more than a month, Zhou Hui and the others slept less than two hours a day, and they often slept next to the pillows and mats. Because they had urgent matters, they were hurriedly called up by their own soldiers, especially Zhou Hui. , he was a nobleman of a noble family before he became the county king, and he has always been pampered. Although he is a descendant of the Lujiang Zhou family like Zhou Yu, he also likes military strategy, but after all, there is a father who is a captain. Since the beginning of your life, Yuan Shu has also treated him very tolerantly and treated him differently. When did he suffer such hardships?
But if they are really asked to go to sleep at this time, who can fall asleep?
Although the body and mind are exhausted to the extreme, but the major issues of life and death are in front of us, how can we easily go to bed with peace of mind?

It is said that "when will the good news come", what if it is not the good news that is sent back to the city?

Zhou Hui and others also knew that the Xuzhou army and horses outside the city were actually the majority of Xuzhou's reinforcements. If Sun Ce's ambush encirclement was defeated, the siege of Shu County would be resolved by itself, but what if it failed?
Then Sun Ce is really unstoppable!

Even not only Shu County, but the entire Lujiang River and the entire Yangzhou will be corrupted to the extreme, and there is no way to recover!

Thinking of this, Zhou Hui glanced at Tao Ze calmly, Tao Ze understood, Dang Ji coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Wang Zhoumu, the two generals Wu and Huang of your army are fierce tigers in the world. The battle is indeed victorious, and we still look forward to this reinforcement, but "

Tao Ze paused, and then said: "Seeing that the reinforcements have really arrived, and I really want to break through the encirclement of Sun Thief, to tell you the truth, Wang Zhoumu, I don't know why, but my heart is really up and down."

Speaking of this, Tao Ze glanced at Wang Zheng and Zhou Hui who were sitting above him, and sighed: "When it comes to age, I am much older than the state shepherd and the county magistrate, but the skill of nourishing qi is far beyond my reach. I'm ashamed."

He really admired Wang Zheng from the bottom of his heart, but by the way, Zhou Hui naturally flattered and promoted Zhou Hui. Although the saying that officials are not as good as they are now has not yet appeared in this world, many sophisticated people understand the truth very well.

Wang Zheng smiled slightly when he heard the words, noncommittal: "Since Lieutenant Tao is worried, then you can do as you please, and other lords can do as you please."

Everyone in Shucheng, whether civil or military, for him, the one who really needed to deliberately win over was Wei Yan, who just opened his mouth because he was in a good mood and a rare kindness. Since others don't appreciate it, why should he bother?

What Zhou Hui said later, Wang Zheng no longer paid attention to it, and heard the sound of the night wind whistling outside and the rustling of military flags.His mind could not help but scatter into the night with the wind.

I don't know what happened to the battle between the two armies at the foot of Zipeng Mountain?
Night falls.

Huang Zhong was walking along the stream, and had already successfully transferred to the rear of He Qi's formation, waiting for an opportunity to move. At this time, He Qi's 3000 troops had already been surrounded by the counterattack quietly arranged by Wu Sheng.

He Qi's leadership is all elite soldiers from Sun Ce's headquarters. Not only are they stout, but they also have fine armor. Most of the army and horses are new recruits, not only their own equipment is dwarfed by comparison, but also the opponents encountered in the previous battles, in terms of equipment, they are also incomparable, many people feel anxious immediately.

But Wu Sheng took a few glances, but suddenly laughed wildly.

As a fifth-rank soldier, he already had a majestic aura, and he stood on a high place on a soil slope, facing the strong wind. His laughter immediately followed the wind into the night, and the sound shook the whole field, attracting the eyes of countless people.

The soldiers around him even asked immediately: "Sun Bandit's weapons and armor are outstanding, our army is far incomparable, the military has already suffered a great loss, why is the battalion head not surprised but happy?"

"The thief dared to go out to chase Huang Zhong with such a small force, which shows his arrogance and arrogance. The general once said that those who are greedy in soldiers will be defeated, and those who are arrogant in soldiers will be destroyed. This will lead to death!"

Wu Sheng said confidently: "When you see a thief, you will be defeated and killed. Isn't such fine armor prepared for our brothers?"

Looking around at the crowd, he replied loudly: "Since we won Xuzhou, our army has not encountered any windfall for a long time. Now that Huang Tian has pity on him and delivered the goods to your door, isn't it gratifying? Not only is it gratifying, but I can't help but be overjoyed!"

Wu Sheng's style of marching and fighting has always been simple and rough, but if you really want to think carefully, in fact, ordinary people really can't play with him. After these few words, it seems that this well-equipped sun thief has come here specially to offer a gift to the heavenly army. Those who received armor boosted the morale of the three armies even more.

Seeing this scene, Wu Sheng laughed loudly, and added: "I pass on the order of my general, the armor and weapons captured in this battle are based on the number of heads, and after the battle, a head can be exchanged for a set of armor!"

Wang Zheng only took over the iron mines and arsenals in Xuzhou to the government at the end of last year. Now the time is short. There are more wolves and less meat. Most of the soldiers and horses who followed Wu Sheng this time were new soldiers, and there were not many with sophisticated weapons.

And who doesn't know that the battlefield is extremely dangerous, and a good weapon means that the combat power will increase.Increased combat power means that it is more likely to obtain military merits, rewards, and even be promoted to the ranks of the Heavenly Army, and the salary will be improved?

Not to mention the armor, it is a life-saving weapon like a war horse!

So when they heard Wu Sheng's general order, not only the ordinary soldiers, but even some officers above the senior level were all wolf cubs who saw the meat, and all of them turned red, urging their subordinates to fight forward screaming.

The Xuzhou army already had a huge advantage in numbers, and the system soldiers in charge of the charge were also extremely brave. Now even these ordinary soldiers rushed forward desperately, and the offensive was overwhelming and unstoppable!

Before the two sides had engaged in battle for two minutes, Sun Jun's line of defense was already in jeopardy. Seeing that it was broken, He Qi of the Chinese army knew something was wrong, so he was about to order the troops to withdraw and go back. Huang Zhong also looked at the right time and led [-] cavalry to attack from the rear!

Under the attack of the enemy, Sun Ce's army and horses became more and more flustered, and they couldn't even arrange their formation. This is a big taboo for military strategists, not to mention it was night, but in a blink of an eye, they were rushed into chaos by Xuzhou people.

Huang Zhong, who took the lead, was even more unstoppable. He charged into the battle, captured left and right, and there was no enemy under his command.

Seeing Huang Zhong's bravery, and even going straight to the Chinese army to kill him, He Qi was shocked, made a quick decision, and immediately fled west in panic.

In the first battle outside Zipeng Mountain, Xuzhou won and Wang Zheng took the lead.

Dozens of miles outside Shu County, surrounded by mountains and rivers, first Huang Zhong succeeded in feigning defeat, which attracted He Qi's troops to take the initiative to attack. He also found out the exact number and passed it on to the generals. Afterwards, Wu Sheng's army rushed forward, first with coercion, then with lure , so that the three armies had the same desire, and their courage doubled.

When the news reached Sun Ce, he was also up all night like Wang Zheng, playing chess with Sun Jing again.

The moment he heard the report from the sentry cavalry, Sun Ce remained calm and calm. He just waved his hand to make him retreat, and at the same time ordered the surrounding troops to be on guard.

It's just that the sentry rider had just exited the tent when he heard a shout, as if Jiao Lei had rolled by!Immediately, there was a series of crackling sounds, and the sentry cavalry shrank in fright, and trotted out.

And the few guards outside the tent were also watching each other, and they didn't have to be summoned, so they didn't dare to go in privately, they just immediately closed their breaths and concentrated, and didn't dare to breathe out.

In the handsome account at this time.

As soon as the figure of the sentinel disappeared, and when he and Sun Jing were the only ones left in the tent, Sun Ce couldn't hold back any longer. With a flick of his sleeves, he overturned the chessboard in front of the case, and the black and white chess pieces fell all over the ground. Not caring about the demeanor of a general, he just scolded directly with a sullen face: "Trash!"

Sun Jing naturally knew who Sun Ce was scolding, although he also felt that He Qi deserved to be scolded, but at this time the situation was critical, he should not just focus on scolding, so he immediately persuaded: "Bo Fu, the way of the general, you should rule first." Heart, now is not the time to seek accountability, the most important thing is to think about how to deal with the next situation."

"Since He Qi was defeated, more than ten thousand reinforcements from Xuzhou will arrive soon. In addition to the defenders in Shu County, their strength is already superior to ours. How should we deal with it?"

Sun Ce's face was as deep as water, and he remained silent, only his eyes flickered with hatred and anger flashing from time to time.

After a while, he took a long breath and spoke again, but his voice suddenly became hoarse.

"Since Wang Yukou entered Jiangdong, Huang Zhong under his command has made many military exploits, and even defeated several of our generals. He first killed Jiang Qin, then captured Huang Gai, and now he defeated He Qi again. Hey, third uncle, we have worked hard. Unexpectedly, it became famous for others.”

Sun Ce, the hero of the world, readily admitted his mistake: "I used to only focus on Wang Zheng, but I underestimated this person."

indeed so.

Since the Jiangdong Hunting Club, it can be said that the appearance of Huang Zhong alone disrupted his deployment and marching rhythm.

First, as a native of Jingzhou, he made up for the weakness of the Xuzhou army's inability to fight in water, and as a pioneer, he blocked the first wave of ambushes specially arranged by Sun Ce's Danyang elite soldiers led by Jiang Qin.

Then he first rushed to Hefei to help Linhu, and made Cheng Pu unable to quickly conquer the city. Then he rushed thousands of miles, turned to attack Long Shu, clamored with knives, and defeated compound fertilizer.

In the end, not only did they join hands with Wu Sheng to defeat Huang Gai in Lu'an, but this time they also defeated He Qi, the last line of defense arranged by Sun Ce.
All these incidents, one by one, had to make Sun Ce look at Huang Zhong with admiration.

This man traverses the formation of thousands of troops, as if entering the land of no one, taking the head of a general is like picking something out of a bag, decisively fighting on the battlefield, unleashing the flag and breaking the formation, with one shout of prestige, the whole army trembles, he is a well-deserved general. !

In most cases, the evaluation of brave generals is actually not as good as that of wise generals. After all, the latter has the talent of a commander. If you make a finger, you can't help but obey.

But Sun Ce, who himself is a super-class military general in the world, also knows that when a brave general reaches Huang Zhong's level, the impact on the overall situation and the outcome will be different!

I don't have the certainty of victory with a royal government, plus Huang Zhong's words.
Thinking of this, Sun Ce immediately made a decision: "Although He Qi is defeated, the main force still remains, our army is only a small defeat, and it does not affect the overall situation. Although Wu Sheng has many troops along the way, how many people can we possibly fight? Even if Wang Zheng doesn't say anything, the general knows it well!"

Sun Jing also strongly agrees with this point. From the first day they learned that the Xuzhou army was going south, they also analyzed Wang Zheng's strength.

In the place of the Fourth World War in Xuzhou, and with Yuan Tan of Jizhou and Cao Cao, the capital of Xuzhou, watching one north and one west, Wang Zheng must not dare to deploy too many elite troops to Yangzhou.

Yuan Shu is not his son, how could he abandon his family and career in order to save his allies?

Therefore, both Sun Ce and Sun Jing can judge that among the more than 5000 Xuzhou troops, the elite accounted for at most [-]%, and most of the rest were newly recruited soldiers and defeated soldiers. The remnants, in fact, seem to be too many in number, but the real combat power is still only [-] people at most!

Now that Wang Zheng, the State Shepherd, is staying in Shu County, there are at least one or two thousand tigers left around as guards. The real elite of the Xuzhou Army outside the city is at most 3000 to [-] people, and the main force that can fight is at most [-].

"Although Xuzhou's army broke through our army's blockade, it is expected that it will lose troops and generals now, especially in a big victory, it will inevitably be contemptuous!"

Sun Jing suggested: "Bo Fu, at this time, we should immediately dispatch troops to intercept it. If the bandit army stays still and is heavily guarded, that's all.
