Hundreds of thousands of troops fought fiercely in this city.
"That is Sun Ce, Sun Jian's son, a fierce general known as the Little Overlord."
In the fourth year of Chuping's reign, Sun Jian's army pressed forward. In just half a month, he successively destroyed several cities in Jiujiang, advancing bravely and diligently all the way.
Yuan Shu finally reacted and sent his general Ji Ling to lead an army of 800,000 to fight Sun Jian's army in the Jiujiang area.
As the number one general under Yuan Shu, Ji Ling's ability is not bad. Coupled with some of Yuan Shu's generals who practiced martial arts, Yuan Shu's army was soon stabilized.
With the land of Hefei, Sun Jian was firmly blocked, preventing him from making any further progress.
Sun Jian was fierce, but the number of soldiers and horses under his command was always at a disadvantage. He occupied many counties and cities, and needed to leave some of his soldiers and horses for garrison.
Therefore, less than 300,000 people went to Hefei.
Yuan Shu's army can continue to increase, and at the same time, Lujiang and Danyang counties continue to send troops to support.
As a result, the two armies came to a stalemate.
The battle in Hefei for several days was dark and dark.
"This little overlord is indeed brave. In less than twenty years, his strength is comparable to the fifth level of Lian Gang. When he reaches the peak of thirty, I am afraid he will be Lu Fengxian again. He is worthy of being a little overlord. He has indeed lived up to his title."
The battle in Hefei alarmed the princes in all directions, and Su Fan and his party also came to the scene in person to watch Sun Jian's army.
Very elite indeed.
"Haha! Tiger is fierce, but if you are too impulsive, you will eventually suffer."
When Su Fan heard this, he just smiled. In terms of personal military power, Sun Ce would definitely surpass Sun Jian in the future.
But in terms of overall ability, he didn't think he would be Sun Jian's opponent.
Historically, if Sun Jian had not died early, the Three Kingdoms of Wu would not necessarily have been able to huddle in Jiangdong.
Sun Ce was too impulsive, and in terms of personality, he was not as calm as Sun Jian, let alone Sun Quan's forbearance.
As a general, this is a big no-no.
So historically, he died early.
Watching Sun Ce take the lead every time does boost his morale, but once he meets someone stronger than him, it will be dangerous.
Fortunately, Yuan Shu didn't have many strong generals under his command, so Ji Ling's strength could only be tied with Sun Ce's.
But Ji Ling is now at his peak.
This made Sun Ce behave so bravely and invincibly. After all, it was impossible for Ji Ling to end the battle himself.
"A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."
"Yuan Shu is not that simple."
Xun You's eyes were calm and he said calmly.
"Is it possible that there is someone else under Yuan Shu who can threaten this little overlord?"
Several generals who followed Su Fan were very curious, especially Wei Yan and Li Le, who were new to the East China Sea Territory.
Then the next second, they saw the little overlord Sun Ce flying down from the top of the city in a panic on Hefei City.
"Damn it, you guys are hiding your heads and showing off your tail again. You have the ability to fight me with real swords and guns."
After being blasted out, Sun Ce just spit out a mouthful of blood, and then roared angrily.
The result was indeed waves of fire.
"this"
Feeling the violent spells, Wei Yan and Li Le were both shocked. Even though they were thousands of feet away, they could feel that the power of the violent energy was quite terrifying.
If it were the two of them, facing so many attacks from spells, they would probably have been seriously injured.
Sun Ce can still jump around, which shows that his body is quite solid.
"You traitor, why don't you get back here quickly?"
At this time, Sun Jian's army suddenly roared.
Immediately afterwards, the Gu Ding Sword slashed out a terrifying blade, cutting the spells into pieces and resolving Sun Ce's siege.
Although Sun Ce still wanted to continue, he did not dare to disobey his father's order and retreated sadly, returning to the army.
"Yuan Shu doesn't have many strong generals under his command, but the Yuan family has a profound background and has many soul-refining masters who know magic."
"Sun Ce rushed to the city wall rashly, and he would naturally be attacked by these soul-refining masters."
Once a soul master reaches the realm of soul refining, his attack methods and intensity will be greatly increased, and he will no longer be the weakling in the soul cultivation realm.
The various spells are quite terrifying, and even the large-scale magical powers can move mountains and reclaim seas.
If Sun Ce hadn't had the fifth level of martial arts training, he might have died long ago.
But even so, he suffered a lot of trauma.
This is also thanks to the battle between the two armies, the military energy is released, suppressing the vitality of heaven and earth, causing the attacks of these soul masters to be reduced a lot.
Otherwise, Sun Ce might have died long ago.
I really think Yuan is a soft persimmon.
There are definitely many soul refining masters under Yuan Shu, even more than those in the East China Sea Territory.
Most of the soul-refining scribes in the East China Sea Territory are people like Xun Yu. They were trained by Su Fan himself, and none of them have broken through to the realm of soul-refining.
"Sun Jian withdrew his troops"
"Hefei has Ji Ling guarding the city. If there is no interference from the outside world, it will be difficult for Sun Jian to break through."
"If Sun Jian wants to eat a fat man in one bite, he is not afraid of choking to death. If he attacks Lujiang or Danyang County first, it will be much better than now."
Su Fan watched Sun Jian's army withdrawing in an orderly manner and said slowly.
"My lord, I'm afraid Sun Jian wants to make a surprise attack. If he captures Jiujiang and keeps Yuan Shu out of Yangzhou, he will slowly digest the six counties of Yangzhou."
"The plan is good. If he really captures Jiujiang quickly and defends Jiujiang with his strength, it will be difficult for the six counties of Yangzhou to stop his attack."
"It's a pity that he underestimated Yuan Shu's reaction and overestimated his own rapid advancement."
Xun You said.
"Haha! It's not like Yuan Shu reacted quickly."
Su Fan shook his head. Yuan Shu could react so quickly because he used the secret owl to leak all the information about Sun Jian's army to the former.
Otherwise, Sun Jian would really have succeeded.
If Sun Jian captures the six counties of Yangzhou, the threat will increase significantly. Su Fan will naturally not let Sun Jian take over.
In his eyes, Sun Jian is his chess piece, a chess piece that consumes Yuan Shu, and a chess piece that allows him to peek into Yuan's trump cards.
The chess pieces naturally cannot escape from the chessboard.
"Too"
Xun You naturally knew that all this was planned by his lord behind the scenes.
"However, the soul-refining masters in Yuan Shu's hands are indeed a problem. Without powerful generals, it would be quite difficult to face these magic groups."
If a master of soul refining unleashes all kinds of spells with all his strength, he will pose a great threat to the army.
Unless it is an elite army, releasing military energy to suppress it, but mobilizing military energy requires at least elite soldiers and powerful generals.
Ordinary generals really don't have the ability to inspire military morale in the army.
