In the new county town, Sun Ce and others who had just entered the city unexpectedly discovered that neither the attackers nor the defenders had caused much interference to the people in the city. Although the people in the city were frightened and hid behind
They didn't dare to go out of their own homes, but their homes were all intact, which surprised Sun Ce and others who originally thought there would be a fierce battle.
Just then, a sergeant from Sun Wu's army came over from the front, and Sun Ce directly waved the sergeant over. As a soldier from Sun Wu's army, how could he not recognize Sun Ce? The sergeant quickly ran to Sun Ce.
, saluted Sun Ce and shouted: "I have seen my lord!"
Sun Ce waved his hand carelessly. He also knew that the sergeant must have followed Zhu Huan into the city before, so he directly asked: "Where is General Zhu Huan?"
"Reply to my lord!" The sergeant immediately replied: "General Zhu Huan is confronting the enemy in the city guard mansion at the moment! General Zhu Huan specially asked the villain to come and ask for instructions from my lord!"
"Confrontation?" This result made Sun Ce and the three of them stunned. Originally, they thought that the battle had ended long ago when they attacked the city. Why are they still confronting? Sun Ce immediately asked
: "What? Didn't you wipe out all the enemies when you were fighting at the top of the city just now?"
The sergeant's face immediately showed a strange look, and he shook his head and said: "Lord! We did not encounter any resistance at all when we entered the city this time! There is no one on the top of the city!"
"Huh?" Sun Ce and others were stunned immediately and encountered no resistance? No wonder, no wonder Zhu Huan took down the city head so quickly! But then, Sun Ce and others couldn't figure it out even more. This Liao
How could he and Lu Xun do this? Logically speaking, they are not that kind of stupid people! Thinking of this, Sun Ce became more and more curious, and when he shouted to the sergeant: "Lead the way!"
"Here!" the sergeant shouted in response, and stood up to lead the way for Sun Ce. Although this new county was also under Sun Wu's rule, it was such a small county. How could Sun Ce know the layout of the city. So the sergeant
Under the leadership of Sun Ce and others, they went straight to the city guard's mansion located in the east of the city.
At this time, the City Guards Mansion was surrounded by Sun Wu's army. Seeing Sun Ce coming, the soldiers naturally made way for Sun Ce. Sun Ce, Ding Feng and Ling Cao came to the gate of the City Guards Mansion.
, and Zhu Huan, who had been guarding here for a long time, saw Sun Ce coming, and he quickly stepped forward to salute Sun Ce. Sun Ce just waved his hand and looked at the situation at the gate of the city guard's mansion.
I saw that the gate of the city guard's mansion was tightly closed, with some blood stains still remaining on the gate, and several corpses of Sun Wu's soldiers were lying strewn around the door. Zhu Huan quickly explained to Sun Ce: "My lord! The last general will lead the troops to attack.
When they arrived at the city gate, they found that there was no garrison guarding the city, but Zhang Liao took all his troops back to the city garrison. The general wanted to attack by force, but he was worried about harming the people around him.
Please make it clear, my lord!" Zhu Huan did not really think about the people, but if he harmed the people because of his unauthorized use of weapons, it would definitely have an impact on Sun Ce's reputation, so Zhu Huan did not dare to make his own decisions.
Regarding Zhu Huan's caution, Sun Ce also nodded in approval, turned his head and glanced at the city guard's mansion, suddenly took a step forward, and shouted loudly at the city guard's mansion: "Zhang Wenyuan! Lu Boyan! You two can be considered a generation of heroes.
!What? Now you have to hide in this small mansion? Aren’t you ridiculed by the heroes of the world? If you have the courage, please come out and fight!"
Sun Ce's loud voice immediately echoed in the sky above the city guard's palace. Inside the city guard's palace, Zhang Liao and Lu Xun were leading the remaining few hundred soldiers of the vanguard army to line up in the front yard. The remaining members of the vanguard army were lined up in the front yard.
The archers had long been placed at the commanding heights of the city guard's palace under Lu Xun's arrangement. Only the axemen and spearmen were arrayed in the front yard. All the soldiers looked at Zhang Liao and Lu Xun in front of them without saying a word.
When he heard Sun Ce's shouts, Lu Xun seemed to turn his head anxiously and glanced in the direction of the palace gate, and then turned to look at Zhang Liao. From the moment the enemy appeared today, Lu Xun knew that he would never be able to hold on if he resisted.
Xin County, so he took all the soldiers and horses to retreat to the city guard's palace. Although the courtyard wall of the city guard's palace was not as good as the city wall, it was not as big as the city wall. These hundreds of people were enough to set up a defense line. But Lu Xun didn't expect it.
Yes, when I returned to the city guard's mansion, I found Zhang Liao, who had never shown up, sitting in the front yard with his eyes closed and meditating, with the hook and sickle lying across Zhang Liao's legs.
Zhang Liao had no reaction to Lu Xun's arrangements before, but when he heard Sun Ce's shouting, Lu Xun became a little worried, fearing that Zhang Liao would rush out and fight Sun Ce to the death. Immediately, Lu Xun stepped forward and said to Zhang Liao
: "General Zhang! A little impatience will ruin a big plan! Sun Ce is also wary of the people around him and dare not attack casually! We can still deal with the opponent for a while, but don't fall for Sun Ce's provocation method!"
However, Lu Xun's worries were obviously unnecessary. Zhang Liao never opened his eyes from beginning to end, as if he didn't hear Sun Ce's shouting at all. Seeing Zhang Liao's reaction, Lu Xun was relieved, but in his heart
It was very depressing. Even if Zhang Liao didn't go out, it didn't mean that the battle could really be delayed! Lu Xun had also stayed under Sun Wu's tent back then. Of course, Lu Xun knew Sun Ce's character very well. Now.
Maybe he can suppress his impulse temporarily, but over time, Sun Ce will never be able to hold it back. His patience is not as good as that of his sworn brother Zhou Yu!
"Zhang Liao! Haven't you always wanted to kill me to avenge Pei Yuanshao? I will be waiting for you here today. If you have the courage, just come out and fight me!" Just when Lu Xun was relieved,
Sun Ce shouted again from outside the house, but this time he mentioned Pei Yuanshao, who died in Xiangcheng that day!
Just when Sun Ce mentioned the word Pei Yuanshao in his words, Zhang Liao's eyes that had been closed suddenly opened, and a cold light flashed from his eyes. With a cold snort, Zhang Liao immediately stood up, holding a hook sickle in his hand.
He slapped the ground hard and made a deep hole in the ground! Seeing Zhang Liao's actions, Lu Xun was also startled. He hurriedly stepped forward and said to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang! Don't be impulsive!"
Zhang Liao ignored Lu Xun and walked straight towards the gate of the city guard's mansion. When he reached the gate, Zhang Liao stopped. If anyone were in front of Zhang Liao at this moment, they would have seen Zhang Liao's face at this moment.
How ferocious! After gritting his teeth and pausing for a moment, Zhang Liao took a deep breath and suddenly shouted loudly: "Sun Ce! I will guard the city guard today! If you have the ability, just attack it!"
After saying that, Zhang Liao turned around and walked to the front of the vanguard army. His eyes scanned the soldiers, and then he shouted: "Brothers! Today may be the last day for you and me in this world!"
I, Zhang Liao, am just a martial artist, and I don’t know what big principles to say! I just want to say that we are all big men, with their heads in the sky, their feet on the ground, and their balls hanging from their crotches! In today’s battle, no matter what the outcome is, we ask our hearts
You are worthy of the title of a man! I just ask my brothers, are you willing to fight to the death with me?"
"Fight to the death with the general!" All the soldiers roared in unison, including the archers on the commanding heights around the city guard's mansion. Even Lu Xun, who was worried before, now changed from his usual calm demeanor and pulled out his waist.
The sword in the room shouted loudly.
"Good! You are worthy of me, the man of Western Qin!" Zhang Liao's eyes warmed, but he nodded, cheered, then turned around and shouted towards the door: "Sun Ce! You want our man of Western Qin!"
With a head on your neck, you have to put in some effort!"
"Damn it!" Zhu Huan, who was outside the palace, heard this and immediately became angry. Zhu Huan immediately asked Sun Ce for orders, "Lord! Please let the last general lead the soldiers to attack from the front! Take care of Zhang Liao's boy!"
"Assaulting from the front, that is, attacking directly from the gate of the City Guards Mansion, will indeed not have any impact on the surrounding residences, but the problem is that in this way, the cost of attacking the City Guards Mansion will be greatly increased.
This is not what Sun Ce wants to see.
Immediately, Sun Ce waved his hand to signal Zhu Huan to retreat, but he raised the Overlord Spear and hummed: "Zhang Liao can be considered a man! But if he thinks he can stump me in this way, then
But that’s wrong! Come here! Fire arrows! Shoot all the people inside!”
After Sun Ce gave this order, Ding Feng and Ling Cao, who were still worried about what to do before, their eyes lit up, yes! Why didn't they think of such a simple method? Among the reinforcements they brought this time
, there are at least 2,000 archers. The city guard's mansion is so big. As long as the archers aim their arrows at the city guard's mansion from all sides, the Western Qin army in the mansion will have no place to hide! I was worried at first.
Sun Ce would not be able to stand Zhang Liao's prodding and would act impulsively. Now he admires Sun Ce's ability even more!
In fact, Sun Ce is not the kind of reckless man who really has no brains. It's just that his usual impulsiveness obscures Sun Ce's command. Just imagine, if Sun Ce is just a warrior who only knows how to run rampant, how can he support Sun Wu after Sun Jian's death in battle?
What a huge foundation!
Soon, Sun Ce's order was conveyed. All the archers had already bent their bows and set arrows, aiming their arrows at the city guard's mansion. They only waited for Sun Ce's order to shoot arrows and attack! Sun Ce stared closely at the city.
After guarding the gate of the mansion and confirming that Zhang Liao refused to come out, Sun Ce no longer hesitated. He waved his right hand raised high and shouted loudly: "Attack..."
