Chapter 245 Death can't let them pass
Sun Quan ordered the army to suspend its march, and Zhuge Jin came to him to inquire.
He gave a reason why the surroundings were too quiet, so quiet that it made people feel abnormal.
"I think it's normal," Zhuge Jin said: "The mountain road here is narrow. Our army's every move is under the enemy's nose. If they didn't choose such a place to ambush, it would be really strange."
"Knowing that there is an ambush, do we still have to go in?" Sun Quan asked.
"I've come here, of course I have to go in." Zhuge Jin said: "It's just that not all of them are in at once."
"How do you say it?" Sun Quan asked in a slight sense of understanding.
"We must advance, and the important thing is how to advance." Zhuge Jin said: "Our army has more than 17,000 soldiers. If we divide it into three groups and are two miles apart, what can we do if we have ambush?"
Sun Quan suddenly realized: "Three teams of men support each other. Even if they have ambush, they can only ambush one of them. Once a war starts, the other two can support them in time..."
"It depends on which team they ambushed." Zhuge Jin said: "If they ambush the middle and the tail of the team, the vanguard's troops do not need to turn back. Just rush to Wancheng and support Bofu from afar. If they ambush the vanguard, the two teams of the latter can support them in time. Even if they cannot rush over, at least they will not suffer too much."
"I understand!" Sun Quan nodded: "Mr. Zhuge is still thoughtful!"
"If this arrangement is done, Zhongmou has to work harder and lead the army as the pioneer!" Zhuge Jin bowed to Sun Quan.
"The team is handed over to the sir!" Sun Quan replied and ordered the guards: "Send the order, select 6,000 troops and follow me into this way!"
Sun Quan led six thousand men to leave first.
After he left for a while, Zhuge Jin ordered the second team to walk into the mountain road.
He himself led the last team and followed the last team.
When this arrangement was made, Zhuge Jin had already guessed a possibility.
The enemy troops lying in the mountains found that they made such arrangements, and they would probably let Sun Quan go and block the two men behind them.
Among them, the possibility of blocking the last team is the greatest.
In other words, he is actually the one who has to face danger when he walks on this road.
Knowing the danger, he still chose to command the last team.
The men who opened the way were commanded by Sun Quan, and the middle was handed over to other generals. If he refused to be in the palace and did not have a person who could suppress the soldiers in the army, it is very likely that the team of thousands of people would collapse in an instant when the enemy launched an attack.
When the rear army collapses, the enemy will have enough time to pursue the front army and venture into this road, and it will be meaningless.
As the second team walked two or three miles away, Zhuge Jin greeted the soldiers behind him: "Let's go!"
The Jiangdong Army led by Sun Quan to enter the mountain road, and Pang Tong and Gao Shun, who were ambushing in the mountains, quickly received news.
When he learned that they were divided into three groups, Pang Tong shook his head and said, "I thought I could wipe them out, but I didn't expect Zhuge Jin to have this trick?"
"They are divided into three groups, and our army is easier to defeat." Gao Shun asked in confusion: "Why can't we completely wipe out?"
"Which group General Gao plans to attack first?" Pang Tong asked.
"Of course it's the final attack." Gao Shun said: "In this way, we can cut off their retreat and force them into a desperate situation."
Pang Tong shook his head: "If this is the case, it just happened to suit their thoughts. They can abandon the back team and the first two teams go straight to Wancheng. As long as Sun Ce in the city sees reinforcements, it will be difficult for Wen Hou to attack Wancheng!"
"Will they use this method of self-destruction?" Gao Shun asked in surprise.
"Don't you know what they came here for?" Pang Tong asked with a smile.
"Running to help Anhui City." Gao Shun said: "But it is not necessary to use this method..."
"We have an air force, and their scouts are completely useless!" Pang Tong said: "It cannot echo each other with Wancheng. It will be worthless to come here! Do you think they will give up and rush to Wancheng for thousands of people?"
"What would happen to them if we fought in the front row?" Gao Shun frowned.
"If we were fighting in the front camp, the two teams of enemy troops behind would soon come forward to support them." Pang Tong said: "You are prepared and Wubei fight. Even if you are trapped in the camp, you cannot defeat them in one fell swoop!"
"If they attacked the front line, would they still be able to go to Wancheng?" Gao Shun thought for a while and asked.
"Maybe not!" Pang Tong said: "As long as they are not allowed to break through from the front, no one will be able to come to Wancheng! Just..."
"Just how?" Pang Tong wanted to speak but stopped, Gao Shun immediately asked.
"It's just that, there may be considerable casualties in the trapped camp."
"Intercept the first team." Gao Shun made a decision without thinking: "Even if all the soldiers of the Shan camp and I were dead, we must not cause trouble to Wen Hou."
"I admire the general's spirit!" Pang Tong said: "I am willing to kill the enemy with the general!"
"With Mr. Pang by my side, I am more confident!" Gao Shun replied immediately.
Leading the army into the mountain road, Sun Quan looked around the road.
Zhuge Jin divided the soldiers into three groups, and drove into this path two miles apart.
Even if there are enemy attacks, they can help each other and not be too embarrassed.
Moving along the mountain road, Sun Quan ordered the soldiers to stop several times.
The surroundings are so quiet that it is creepy.
There were no birds flapping their wings soaring into the sky, nor did they growl from beasts. Except for the sound of the wind, only the "rattle" sound of leaves swaying.
Quietness often brings not necessarily peace, but also danger of being unable to resist.
He ordered the soldiers to stop again, and Sun Quan looked around.
Looking around, the mountains are piled up and the scenery is beautiful.
But he felt that behind the beautiful scenery, there was a sharp edge that was enough to destroy him and the soldiers behind him.
"Come!" Sun Quan shouted: "Send someone to investigate and see what is hidden in the deep mountains."
Uneasy in his heart, Sun Quan issued an order that he himself did not believe in usefulness.
The guards took the order, and after a moment, dozens of fast horses were separated from the team and rushed towards the mountains and forests on both sides.
The scouts rushing towards the forest quickly disappeared into the greenery.
Sun Quan waited for a while, but did not realize that it was wrong, and ordered the army to continue moving forward.
After walking for only two or three hundred steps, the guard behind him shouted, "Be careful, General!"
Sun Quan quickly turned around and saw dozens of black balls flying out of the mountains and forests on both sides.
The ball flying out of the mountains and forests drew a straight line in the air and flew towards him.
Sun Quan turned over and jumped off the horse, and several guards rushed forward to protect him in the middle.
