While thinking about it secretly, Li Li murmured: "Don't worry, the enemy army will never dare to act rashly in the scene before us, and our army must not act rashly, otherwise it will endanger Meng Qi's life. As long as we don't move, the enemy army will not dare to act rashly." Move lightly, in this way, Meng Qi lying in front of the formation of the two armies is actually safe."

After Guo Jia heard the words, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "My lord's words are true. It's just that Sun Ce is so strong that he can fight Ma Chao for hundreds of rounds. It's really impressive! No wonder Lu Bu falsely called him "Jiangdong's little brother." Overlord', such a fierce person is really rare in this world!"

Li Li nodded slightly when he heard the words, and sighed softly: "Sun Bofu is not the overlord of Chu after all! But as far as the battle before him is concerned, this son is really fierce and unusual, and he is indeed one of the few strong men in the world; although he is not as good as the old Chu The Overlord is brave and invincible, but his natural tenacity is no less than that of the Overlord of Chu. Today's battle is really an eye-opener!"

"Cough cough cough!" Just as Li Li finished speaking, there was a new change on the battlefield before the battle.Ma Chao sat up slowly, then stood up straight holding the silver spear, and then let out a long breath.At the same time, Sun Ce, who was [-] steps away, also struggled to get up at the same time. He also stood up holding the Overlord Spear, and then coughed violently, which was still bloodshot.Immediately, Ma Chao and Sun Ce looked at each other with long spears. At this time, the expressions on their faces were very cold, as if they were indifferent, but also seemed to respect their opponents.

After a while, Ma Chao got on his horse, and Sun Ce also endured the pain and climbed onto Zu Mao's mount. After the two sides looked at each other again, they held the reins and hit the horse forward, galloping in opposite directions.

"Young master, young master!"

In front of the Allied formation, seeing Sun Ce driving his horse slowly towards the formation, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang rode their horses to meet them.

"Young master, are you alright?" Cheng Pu asked eagerly as he stepped forward on his horse.

Huang Gai got off his horse and led the horse for Sun Ce. Hearing this, he said angrily, "De Mou, stop talking nonsense, the young master is so injured, how can he be fine?"

Han Dang himself was seriously injured, and even if he wanted to help Sun Ce at this moment, he was unable to do what he wanted, so he didn't speak, but waved his hand to signal his soldiers to bandage Sun Ce's wound.

Immediately, with Huang Gai's support, Sun Ce dismounted from his horse and sat slumped on the ground, allowing his own soldiers to remove his armor and treat his wounds.

"Hmph!" A soldier accidentally touched the wound, and the corner of Sun Ce's mouth twitched in pain, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his cheeks were frighteningly pale.Simply because he was tough by nature, he didn't blame the soldiers, nor did he cry out in pain, but gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, until the wound was bandaged, he didn't make another sound.

After the soldiers put on the brocade robe for him, Sun Ce waved away the soldiers and beckoned Huang Gai to help him mount the horse.

"Young master, you are seriously wounded, your heart is wounded, you can no longer fight on horseback! Besides, it is getting late now, the last general suggested that I temporarily withdraw the army, and wait for the young master to rest for a few days before attacking the city." Huang Gai He persuaded earnestly with a worried face.

Listening to Huang Gai's persuasion, Sun Ce raised his eyes and looked coldly at the five thousand Xiliang army [-] paces away. Taking the initiative to attack, there is no intention of retreating into the city.

Seeing this, strong anger appeared on Sun Ce's pale cheeks again.His eyes were very unwilling.At this moment, he suddenly looked up at the south gate tower, and suddenly saw a tall man in a brocade robe standing in the front of the tower and pointing his middle finger, while the commander of Anyi, Teng Xiao, stood on the left side of the man, bowing and paying attention listen.

Immediately, without anyone reminding him, Sun Ce also knew that the brocade-robed man on the city tower was Li Li, the coach of the Xiliang Army and the general of Hussars.

"Li, Li, Li Wenchang!" Baring his teeth, he uttered the man's name in a brocade robe. Sun Ce's pale cheeks instantly turned as red as a jujube, and his eyes were filled with burning anger.

"Don't talk too much, help me get on the horse!" In a rage, Sun Ce glared at Huang Gai.He yelled loudly.

Huang Gai was startled when he heard the sound, his face flushed, and his expression was quite upset, but when he thought of Sun Ce's serious injury, he inevitably lost control of his emotions.So he bowed his head in response.Then he helped Sun Ce turn over and sit on the horse, and then stood aside.He led the horse and pedaled for Sun Ce.

Sun Ce on his horse again.Panting for a moment, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang's armors were also stained with blood, and their bodies were also wrapped in white silk, as if they were seriously injured like themselves.Looking at the corpse lying on the grass in front of the battle, it was Zu Maozu Darong who once saved his father Sun Jian's life, and gave his life to save him just now.

For a moment, Sun Ce's eyes dimmed.Feeling sour, he whispered to Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, "You don't need to worry about my injuries. Just after Ma Chao's shot pierced Zu Mao, he stabbed me in the chest and almost killed me twice. It's a pity that this guy was too happy and too confident. He thought that he had stabbed me to death with a single shot, so he was complacent and stopped using force. But he didn't know that it was his mistake in judgment that left me with an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he swung his gun Counterattack, stab his left leg, causing him to suffer severe injuries!"

After a pause, Sun Ce took two deep breaths, and said in a cold voice, "Ma Chao's shot that pierced Zu Mao just now did hit my heart. However, it was only half an inch, half an inch. Pushing the spear forward half an inch with a little force can pierce my heart and kill me on the spot. At that time, I was completely hopeless and hopeless, thinking that I would die under his gun. Unexpectedly, Ma Chao stopped and let me die. I survived a desperate situation and stabbed him with my backhand. This is really blessed by the heavens, and I, Sun Ce, is destined to die!"

"Okay, it's so good, the young master has his own destiny!" Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang were startled when they heard it, and then they shouted luckily with lingering fear, and applauded in unison.

"En." Sun Ce nodded in response, looked up at the brocade-robed man on the city tower and the Xiliang generals surrounding him, and said in a deep voice, "After this battle, I have to admit that Li Thief's men are indeed fighters. The generals are like clouds, and their combat power is extraordinary. Compared with them, we are far behind. Right now, the [-] to [-] soldiers behind us are no match for the Xiliang Army. It is almost impossible to capture Dongyuan City, let alone fight with Thief Li The armies confront each other head-on."

Speaking of this, Sun Ce sighed softly: "Hey, Li Thief's strength is definitely beyond what we can shake!"

"What the young master said is true." Cheng Pu nodded upon hearing the voice, and then said: "We suffered heavy losses in the battle just now. Leaving aside the fact that Hu Cai, the leader of the Baibo bandits, was killed on the spot, even the three of us were defeated and injured one after another. General Zu Mao was stabbed to death by Ma Chao's villain. As far as I know, Wang Fang, the first general of the Xiliang Army to go to battle, although he is also a veteran general with a lot of experience, but his martial arts skills are not very good. Outstanding, mediocre performance. In the Xiliang Army, he was not a trusted general of Li Thief. It was only because of his seniority and the trust of Li Thief's uncle Li Jue that he was able to stand out and serve as the guard of Dongyuan City. However, such a An unremarkable person was able to kill Hu Cai all at once, and then fought with me for dozens of rounds, and finally cut me back with a near-death counterattack. To be honest, Wang Fang was so fierce that I was really surprised. I have lingering fears."

As soon as Cheng Pu's words fell, Huang Gai followed suit and said, "What De Mou said is true. The generals under Li Thief's command are indeed extremely fierce. Just now, I heard from Baibo thief Yang Feng that the person who fought with me and Han Dang before was named Xu Huang, now Wang Fang's deputy general, is basically unknown in the Xiliang army. However, in the fight just now, Han Dang and I joined forces to fight him, but he was still slightly inferior. If it weren't for Han Dang If he succeeded in the sneak attack earlier and shot him with an arrow, I am afraid that the two of us will not be his opponent at all. This man's martial arts skills and calm mind are far above Wang Fang. It is said that he is still not an official general of the Xiliang Army , I have never even seen Li Thief before. However, it is such an unknown person with such a strong skill, which shows the strength of the Xiliang Army."

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai had said everything that should be said, and Han Dang naturally knew the real intention of the two of them to say these words, and it was nothing more than trying to persuade the young master Sun Ce to stop fighting and retreat.It's just that Cheng Pu and Huang Gai have angered Sun Ce just now.At this moment, he didn't dare to say it clearly, so the next person who directly broke the theme was Han Dang.

"It will be dark in half an hour. The general suggested that our army withdraw temporarily. After the leader of Yuan League arrives with the army, he will join forces with us and conquer Dongyuan City in one fell swoop." Han Dang carefully observed Looking at Sun Ce's expression, he remonstrated in a low voice.

Fortunately, this time Sun Ce did not get angry, but frowned slightly.He squinted and thought about it.

After a while, Sun Ce shook his head slightly, looked up at the brocade-robed man on the tower, and murmured with a sense of comprehension: "Thief Li doesn't seem to be in a hurry to fight us, otherwise they should take advantage of the situation when Ma Chao won just now. But until now, they have shown no signs of attacking. It seems that we are sure that we will truce and withdraw our troops. Why is this? According to scouts, there are at least [-] defenders in Dongyuan City, including tens of thousands of warriors. Such a strong strength is almost comparable to our army. But why do they refuse to fight?"

After hearing the words, Cheng Pu and the others showed doubts on their faces, and then Cheng Pu said in a low voice: "Young Master means,,,,,,"

"Since Thief Li doesn't want to take the initiative to fight, then we can't let him succeed, and we have to fight him!" Sun Ce narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Ah! This,,," the three of Cheng Pu were shocked when they heard this.Huang Gai immediately became impatient, and then asked: "Didn't the young master just say that the defenders of Dongyuan City are not inferior to our army? If so, why do you want to fight with them?"

Sun Ce shook his head lightly upon hearing this.The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and an unfathomable and profound smile appeared on his face.Then he said coldly: "It's still the same sentence just now, Li Thief doesn't want to fight with us, we can't let him do what he wants, we have to fight! However, I have to meet with Li Thief before the battle, otherwise I will not be willing !"

"No!" The three of Cheng Pu stopped shouting after hearing the sound, and Cheng Pu said anxiously: "The young master is seriously injured and can no longer fight. If Li Bandit suddenly launched an attack before the battle, the young master may be in danger of his life! The world Everyone knows that Li thief is different from other princes. This thief has both civil and military skills, especially martial arts. It is said that he has already entered the court and is among the top powerhouses in the world. It is too dangerous, and life may be in danger at any time. I implore the young master to think twice!"

After finishing their speech, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang bowed and kowtowed, as if they were admonishing each other.

"Hehehe!" Sun Ce smiled calmly, and waved his hands to signal Cheng Pu and the others to get up, but it was a pity that Cheng Pu and the others were stubborn and knelt down.

Seeing this, Sun Ce explained in a gentle tone: "You are thinking too much. You only see that Li Bandit is famous, but you don't notice that the two armies are facing each other at this moment. How dare Li Bandit risk the disgrace of the world and stand in front of the two armies?" He attacked me before? If so, how can he have the face to lead the Xiliang army in the future? You may wish to think about what Li thief is now, the majestic Hussar General of the Han Dynasty, if he used the front of the battle to shout Wouldn't it be self-deprecating and awe-inspiring to kill me suddenly by an opportunity? Therefore, as long as I don't take the lead in attacking someone as prestigious as Li Bandit, he will never make a move. There is no doubt about this, you can rest assured!"

"This..." The three of Cheng Pu were stunned when they heard the words. Although they still had concerns, they had to admit that Sun Ce's words were justified.So they hesitated and got up slowly, and after seeing Sun Ce's expression of determination, they immediately said respectfully: "No, young master, be more careful, don't provoke Li thief, the most important thing is to protect your own safety!"

"Yes." Sun Ce nodded slightly, and ordered softly: "Let the Baibo army prepare the siege weapons, and when I return to the formation, I will immediately launch an attack and attack the city overnight."

"I will take orders, please rest assured, young master!" Cheng Pu and others bowed in response.

"Drive!" With a soft scold, Sun Ce rode out again, and slowly walked towards the front of the formation of the two armies.

"How is Meng Qi's injury? Is it serious?"

On the tower, just when Ma Chao rode into the city alone, Li Li asked Teng Xiao to go down to meet Ma Chao. Now that Teng Xiao had gone and returned, he immediately asked.

Quickly walking in front of Li Li, Teng Xiaogong said: "My lord, don't worry. General Meng Qi's injury was not small on his left leg, but he didn't hurt his bones or tendons. Therefore, he just needs to rest for a few days and he will be fine. The general has ordered someone to invite him to the city guard's mansion to bandage his wounds, and there are doctors sent by the Taiyuan Academy in the mansion to diagnose and treat injuries, so my lord can rest assured that General Meng Qi will receive the best care."

"That's good." Li Lichang sighed, and sighed: "Meng Qi was careless after all! It's only a little bit away from a fight to complete the battle. It's a pity that the last moment fell short, and I laughed too early, so that the extreme joy turned into sadness. But Overall, his merits outweighed his demerits in this battle, he beheaded Zu Mao, seriously injured Sun Ce, greatly boosted the morale of our army, he deserves credit for it!"

"My lord's words are very true. Afterwards, I will record Meng Qi's military exploits." Guo Jia happily responded.

Li Li nodded after hearing the sound, and said with a smile: "Gongming's combat achievements are also recorded. This is the first battle in our army's two-year rest, and many new generals have emerged. Therefore, the merits and demerits must not be sloppy, and must be justified. , Only in this way can the soldiers be convinced."

Guo Jia nodded in agreement: "It's true, as my lord said, this battle of Sili is definitely not a one-off battle, and it is destined to be a protracted war. Many outstanding young generals have been recruited. This battle is a great opportunity for them to make contributions. I believe they will be able to shine on the battlefield in the future. Become famous in one battle!"

"Hehehe!" Li Li nodded with a smile and said, "There are talents from generation to generation, and each has been in charge for hundreds of years! For an army, 100 years is too long, and it is only the day and night; only outstanding young generals continue to emerge, There is competition in the army, and the soldiers will not relax. Only then can the entire army become stronger."

Guo Jia replied in amazement: "Your Majesty's words are incisive and reveal the mystery. The alternation of new and old generals in the army is like waves, one wave after another, and each wave is better than one wave. Only in this way can we become stronger and stronger. On the contrary, If there are no young generals to join the army, after a long time, the army will be sluggish, and human relations will be intertwined, which will affect military discipline and directly lead to a sharp decline in combat effectiveness."

Li Li smiled and nodded: "Well, what Feng Xiao said is reasonable. But the more we talk, the further we go. What should our army do now? Does Feng Xiao have a good strategy?"

"My lord, are you talking about fighting or not?" Guo Jia asked in response.

Li Li nodded slightly, smiled and said nothing. Seeing this, Guo Jia continued: "Actually, the initiative in this battle is not in our hands, but in Sun Ce's. In terms of the situation in front of us, there must be a battle today." Sun Ce’s failure to withdraw his army even though he was seriously injured is tantamount to telling us that they are about to attack the city on a large scale.
