"Da Fang, what are you waiting for?" In a remote valley thirty miles away from Chaisang City, Hua Xiong looked at the sky, frowned and looked at Xu Rong beside him: "What did the lord say?"
Xu Rong glanced at Hua Xiong with a strange expression, and then looked at the letter Hua Xiong brought. There were only two words on the letter - Massacre.
"Huh~" Xu Rong exhaled slowly, the ferocious look on his face flashed away, and said sternly: "Hua Xiong, listen to the order."
"Zai" Hua Xiong looked serious. Although he had a good personal relationship with him, when it came to serious matters, this old brother would not be recognized by his relatives.
"The city will be destroyed tonight. My lord has ordered that no one in the whole city should be left alive," Xu Ronghan said in a loud voice.
"Yes... uh~" Hua Xiong answered halfway, suddenly a little dumbfounded. Massacre of the city? Even in Xiliang, where the folk customs are fierce, this kind of thing is rare.
"Hua Xiong?" Xu Rong frowned and looked at Hua Xiong dissatisfied.
"Uh, yes," Hua Xiong's face straightened, and he bowed to accept the order. In any case, since it is Qingtian's order, just carry it out. As for the rest, there is no need to say more.
…
Outside Pengze City, Sun Ce's camp, in the Chinese army's tent, Zhou Yu frowned slightly and kept walking around in the tent. Sun Ce said helplessly: "Gong Jin, sit down and rest for a while, you dazzled me.
it took."
"That's wrong." Zhou Yu suddenly stopped, startling Sun Ce, and then said, "What's wrong?"
"Zhu Zhi" Zhou Yu did not answer and shouted towards the outside of the tent.
Sun Ce's face also became solemn. If the monarch were changed, even if he is not a monarch yet, but just a prince, this attitude of his subordinates would cause dissatisfaction and harassment. However, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have transcended the relationship between ordinary monarchs and ministers. Seeing Zhou Yu like this
Sun Ce couldn't help but become solemn due to his performance.
"Here" Zhu Zhi walked in from outside the tent and said with cupped hands.
"Will the spies we sent out be rewarded?" Zhou Yu said solemnly.
"Back to the military division, we have expanded the investigation scope to within 500 miles of Pengze. There is nothing abnormal so far." Zhu Zhi said with a cup of his hands.
"Nothing unusual?" Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows: "Did reinforcements from the Qingtian Army show up?"
"Not yet." Zhu Zhi shook his head and said.
"Gong Jin, what's wrong? What's wrong if there's no abnormality?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu doubtfully. If there's no abnormality, what's there to worry about?
"No, the biggest abnormality is that there is no abnormality." Zhou Yu waved his hand and said.
"How do you say that?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu in slight surprise.
"Who is Qingtian? Not to mention his military strategy, but his identity, the Lord of Qingtian City, commanding the three counties, the Marquis of Wu, and the Mu of Yangzhou. Regardless of whether the heroes in the world recognize it or not, it is a title granted by the emperor. Now he is alone outside, and the soldiers
With so few generals, how could there be no action in the direction of Nanchang?" Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.
"Maybe those thieves rebelled." These were Zhu Zhi's words, which were directly ignored by Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.
Sun Ce also became heavy, and suddenly turned around, looked at Zhu Zhi and said: "Jun Li, shoot more scouts to investigate. You will personally direct and expand the search area. Chai Sang can't be spared either."
"Uh...yes" Zhu Zhi nodded.
"No, withdraw all the scouts." Zhou Yu suddenly stopped and shook his head.
"Withdraw, didn't you mean..." Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu doubtfully.
"Based on the distance, if reinforcements are sent, they have arrived early in the past two days, but there has been no news, and Qingtian's attitude is also very ambiguous. Since the Xiliang cavalry was sent out the day before yesterday, the Xiliang cavalry has not been allowed to participate in the battle.
Those two thousand soldiers fought with us and even drove the people into the city." Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I'm afraid the opponent has already reached Chaisang."
"Then what should we do now?" Sun Ce asked with a frown.
"Withdraw your troops immediately." Zhou Yu said decisively.
"Withdraw the troops?" Zhu Zhi was a little reluctant. Peng Ze's army was basically crippled. Maybe he could attack Peng Ze in one more round. If he withdraws his troops at this time, wouldn't he lose a great opportunity in vain?...
"Listen to Gong Jin and withdraw your troops immediately. If Chai Sang is lost, it will be useless even if you capture Peng Ze." Sun Ce's eyes flashed with determination.
"Yes" Zhu Zhi also felt the seriousness of the matter, nodded, turned around and walked out of the camp, and began to raise troops to break up the camp.
At the top of Pengze City, Qin Tian, Xu Huang, Yue Xi, Wang Shuang, and Teng Fang looked at Sun Ce's military camp in the distance. Kan Ze stood next to Qin Tian, looking a little decadent, and his eyes were bloodshot. It was not just him, Qin Tian
Several people were not in good spirits. They were attacked by Sun Ce for two consecutive days. The 2,500 defenders in the city were now less than 500. If not for the two top generals Yue Xi, Xu Huang, and Wang Shuang,
The three famous generals Teng Fang and Qin Tian guarded the city day and night, repelling the enemy forces time and time again. I am afraid that Peng Ze has been trapped for a long time.
"Lord, something is wrong." Kan Ze looked at the military camp below, frowning slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his bloodshot eyes.
"What's wrong?" Qin Tian looked at Kan Ze.
"Back to my lord, the drums in the enemy's camp have not stopped, but there has been no deployment of troops. I suspect..." Kan Ze said to Qin Tian in a deep voice.
Sun Ce's military camp was about five miles away, but no movement was seen.
"Yue Xi" Qin Tian shouted with a flash of light in his eyes.
"The end will be here," Yue Xi bowed and said.
"The Xiliang cavalry attacked and went straight to the enemy camp," Qin Tian said sternly.
"Here"
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry was used by Qin Tian to protect his life. He had already made preparations before. If Pengze City was destroyed, this Xiliang Iron Cavalry would be their weapon to get out of the city. As Zhou Yu said, once Chaisang was destroyed, even if Zhou Yu occupied Liling and Pengze
Ze, as long as Nanchang is not lost, they will have to spit out these two cities. A slight chance may lead to the complete annihilation of this partial division.
"Boom~"
The gates of Pengze City were opened wide, and Yue Xi led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in a mighty rush out of the city, heading straight for the opponent's military camp. The metal was lifted like thunder, with a destructive momentum, as if it was going to crush everything in the world.
On the city tower, Qin Tian and Kan Ze stared intently at each other's military camp. The sound of the drums remained the same, and it did not change at all because the Xiliang cavalry left the camp. Even the 'soldiers' guarding the entrance of the camp did not move.
"Hangyang beats the drum" Qin Tian smiled helplessly: "It seems we have been fooled."
The hanging sheep beat the drum, and Zhou Yu ran away under his nose, which somewhat disappointed Qin Tian. During this expedition, Qin Tian never thought that he could defeat Zhou Yu in the water. That was not realistic, but the strategizing in land battles
When the enemy's situation changed, Qin Tian thought that he had surpassed ordinary famous generals, so he came to meet the enemy Zhou Yu personally. He was not afraid of losing this battle. There would be many opportunities in the future, but there were not many opportunities to compete with masters.
But now, Qin Tian saw a lot of shortcomings. Not to mention the frontal battlefield, but on Chai Sang's side, except for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to regain some advantages, he did not feel the slightest advantage against Zhou Yu.
"Lord..." Kan Ze looked at Qin Tian with some worry. As the first counselor to follow Qin Tian, he probably knew Qin Tian well except for the perverted Jia Xu, so he could naturally guess who he was.
The lord had some thoughts, and when he saw Qin Tian's face looking a little decadent, he couldn't help but become worried.
"It's okay." Qin Tian waved his hand. He was not that fragile yet, so this blow was nothing. "Let's go down and see what Zhou Lang left for us."
There are Xiliang cavalry here, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu should not have left for long. Although the Xiliang cavalry is a heavy cavalry, its speed is much faster than the cavalry. He does not believe that Zhou Yu will leave like this. At least he must find a way to delay the Xiliang cavalry.
pursuit.
"Yes" Kan Ze nodded. Qin Tian left Jiang Jin behind. After Lin Yi defended the city, he took Wang Shuang, Teng Fang and Kan Ze out of the city.
In Sun Ce's military camp, Sun Ce's army was no longer there. There were only some straw men in the military camp, and many of them were even half-finished products. Only the straw men in positions that could be seen on Pengze City were fully dressed. As soon as Yue Xi and others entered the camp, they were
Under control, of course there can be no more ambushes here, but in the military camp, the ground is full of swamps, and all four thousand Xiliang cavalry are trapped in it. Only Yue Xi relies on his superior strength to use tents and straw men as the foundation.
, did not let the war horse sink...
Zhou Yu's only military skill known to Qin Tian is Zeguo.
Qin Tian rubbed his temples. This way, it would be impossible for him to pursue Sun Ce's army in a short time. He waved his hand and said: "First bring out the war horses and use these straw men as mats."
"Yes." The people around him nodded and went to help.
"Yue Xi, what's going on?" Qin Tian came to Yue Xi's side and looked at Yue Xi and said.
"I don't know either. As soon as I entered the camp, I found that the camp was empty. I sent people to search in other directions, but the result was like this." Yue Xi said with a confused look.
"Ha~" Qin Tian nodded, without blaming, and looked around. This was Zhou Yu's only military skill that was exposed to him so far. Although the country was not very deep, it might not be inferior if used at critical moments.
The skills of those large generals and military advisors were poor. At least Qin Tian saw that this move was definitely a weapon against cavalry. If a group of ambushes were arranged in the camp, the Xiliang cavalry would suffer huge losses.
And this was only exposed by Zhou Yu. Qin Tian didn't think that Zhou Yu only knew this move. In the past, Li Ru's move spread thousands of miles, leaving the whole Luoyang area empty of people.
It's hard to really express it with numbers, but in terms of grades, Li Ru is a second-grade counselor, and Zhou Yu should be a first-grade counselor. For this reason, at least in terms of skills, Zhou Yu's ultimate skill should be stronger than Li Ru's.
"My lord, I didn't leave any food, grass or baggage. I should have retreated very calmly. General Xu is asking for orders, do you want to pursue me?" Kan Ze came to Qin Tian's side and said in a deep voice.
"No need to chase." Qin Tian waved his hand: "If you retreat so calmly, even if you can catch up, you may not be able to please. Instead, you may have fallen into the opponent's plan and asked everyone to return to the city. You must have been exhausted in the past two days. Good luck.
take a break."
"Here!" Kan Ze bowed and accepted the order. After the group pulled the horses of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry out of the swamp, they set fire to the camp and returned to Pengze.
