But what happened next, as Sun Jian expected, didn't happen!
He used the navy as bait and arranged an ambush here, preparing to eat Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Tai Shi Ci and others who came to attack their navy.
But Zhang Liao did not act in this way.
On the contrary, it has always been there steadily.
They just cut off the road and did not attack them.
In fact, what Sun Jian thought was indeed correct. Zhang Liao really liked to take risks and dared to fight hard in war.
Many times, it happens unexpectedly.
But obviously, he didn't know enough about Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao really likes to take risks.
But before taking risks, Zhang Liao was generally very stable.
It belongs to the kind of existence that is as quiet as a virgin and as active as a stray rabbit.
Before taking action, not only did he not like to take risks, he was also very tolerant.
At this time, what Zhang Liao used was a dragging tactic.
This is a conclusion that Zhang Liao and the others came to after some discussion.
That is to say, Sun Jian is likely to use Jiangdong's navy as bait, waiting for them to attack.
Thus, their Yizhou Navy was severely damaged.
If that's the case, don't go to fight with him at this time.
There are many things to pay attention to on the battlefield.
One of them is not to let the enemy lead you by the nose.
The more the enemy wants you to do something, the less you should do it.
In this way, you can to a large extent avoid the pits dug by the enemy for you.
Of course, there is another reason besides this, that is, time is now on Zhang Liao's side.
Zhang Liao can afford it.
But Sun Jian and the others couldn't afford it.
After all, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici all knew that the emperor's uncle had given them an order, originally asking them to block the retreat of Sun Jian and others and wait for the army to gather together.
Under this situation, they are really not in a hurry.
At this time, they cut off their escape route, and the one who was really anxious was Sun Jian.
He cut off Sun Jian's retreat, and the emperor's uncle sent troops and horses to surround him from the rear.
This is equivalent to wrapping up Sun Jian!
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if the Sun family didn't panic!
So after some discussion, they decided that it was certain to eat Sun Jian's navy.
But this battle cannot be fought forcefully!
Now the advantage is on their side.
Then sometimes, you just can't take risks all the time.
Sometimes, taking risks is necessary.
But you can’t take risks every time.
When fighting a war, one must be steady in order to be safe.
So Zhang Liao and the others were not in a hurry, they just brought their troops and horses here to guard Sun Jian's retreat.
Be prepared and wait for Sun Jian to attack them in turn.
They feel that this kind of thing will happen in all likelihood!
In fact, it was just as Zhang Liao and others thought.
Sun Jian here also became anxious after waiting for five or six days, while Zhang Liao's side just kept setting up water fortresses without anyone coming to attack their navy.
His face looked gloomy under the moonlight.
What he originally thought was to exchange Jiangxia for Liu Cheng's Yizhou navy at this time.
Zhang Liao likes to take risks and should come here to attack them soon!
But now, Zhang Liao and others did not take any action!
This unexpected action by Zhang Liao and others immediately disrupted his plan!
He really can't afford to wait here!
After all, in order to eat up the Yizhou Navy, he secretly transferred many soldiers and horses here!
Prepare to deliver a fatal blow to the Yizhou Navy!
This also means that the other directions of Jiangxia do not have much defense against Liu Cheng's troops.
Except for two relatively important passes, the rest of the places are undefended.
Under such circumstances, Liu Cheng's troops arrived very quickly.
Originally, he felt that the advantage was on his side.
But at this moment, being dragged away by Zhang Liao, problems suddenly arose!
It immediately put him in a dilemma!
His idea of exchanging Jiang Xia for Liu Cheng's traitor Yizhou Navy can be said to have basically come to nothing!
It was also at this time that Sun Jian realized that his previous judgment was wrong.
I was deceived by all the things that this guy Zhang Liao has shown all along!
For a long time, Zhang Liao gave people the impression that he was constantly taking risks.
Judging from all the things he has done before, this is all true.
But at this time, he suddenly stabilized!
Just this stability caused his strategic judgment to be wrong, which directly put him in an extremely difficult situation!
Jiang Xia, who had finally obtained it, was now giving it to Liu Cheng!
And his idea of exchanging Liu Biao's Jiangxia for Liu Cheng's Yizhou navy has come to nothing.
Under this situation, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach!
Previously in Jiangdong, Sun Jian defeated Yan Baihu and others, and it can be said that the fight was extremely smooth.
But now, as soon as he had a confrontation with Liu Cheng's men, he immediately fell into a disadvantage!
This made him particularly uncomfortable.
The scene of the battle with Liu Cheng near Luoyang appeared in his mind again.
At that time, he and Liu Cheng fought against each other and were defeated one after another.
Even his general Huang Gai was lost in the hands of this thief!
At this time, he faced him again. He didn't take action against Liu Cheng at all, but just faced off against his subordinates.
It became like this.
This kind of thing is really uncomfortable!
"Pass my order, all naval forces will attack tonight!
Take advantage of the night to attack the Yizhou Navy!
We must break through its blockade and return to Jiangdong!"
After waiting here for a while, Sun Jian gave the order.
This decision was very difficult for him.
This is tantamount to saying that he directly gave up on Jiangxia, which he had done a lot of planning before.
And if it doesn't work out, some of the troops will have to be given up.
After all, there are still some soldiers and horses, which are far away at this time, and there is no time to call back in a short time!
Here they are using a boat to break out of the encirclement.
After breaking out of the siege, it is naturally impossible to come back to provide support.
It's not because he doesn't want to, it's because he simply doesn't have the ability.
"My lord, the thief is cunning. I'm afraid he already understands our intention.
That's why we deliberately stood still.
The only thing the other party is afraid of waiting for is today.
Zhang Liao must have been prepared.
If we want to leave here, we are afraid that we will have to pay a high price!"
Ling Cao came here, looked at Sun Jian and said this.
Sun Jian nodded after hearing this.
How could he not know about this matter?
It's just that when things got to this point, there was nothing we could do without a breakout.
Time is not on their side.
When Liu Cheng's army arrives, they will have no chance to break through!
At that time, the situation we faced was definitely more difficult than the last time!
At this point, we can only fight hard!
There is still a way to survive.
If you don’t fight, this time all of them will really be left here in Jiangxia by the thieves!
And this is what makes Sun Jian most anxious!
After all, he went out to Jiangdong this time. In order to be able to do some big things, he brought out many of his generals who were good at fighting, as well as soldiers and horses.
At this time, there were not many soldiers and horses capable of recruiting and fighting in Jiangdong.
If it were him, and these soldiers and generals, they would all be lost here, left behind by Liu Cheng's traitor.
Then in the future, Jiangdong will be lost!
According to Liu Cheng's traitor's character, there is also the grudge between himself and him.
At that time, your family and others will also be in danger.
In addition, another thing is that Sun Jian has been holding his breath!
Ever since Liu Cheng was a traitor and killed his general Huang Gai, he had been holding back!
Facing Liu Cheng, no matter whether he can fight or not, he must fight!
You absolutely cannot surrender to Liu Cheng!
This is the pride that belongs to him, Sun Jian!
As he issued the order, his soldiers and horses all took action individually.
In the river, ships surged.
Zhang Liao Taishi Ci Ganning and others were on their respective warships, with troops and horses, and were on careful guard.
It doesn't seem like anything on the surface, but recently, they have been on high alert here.
The thief wanted them to attack, but at this time, why weren't they here waiting for the thief?
The later it gets, the tighter their defenses become, waiting for the thieves to arrive.
They can be sure that as time goes by, the first person who can't help it is definitely Sun Jian, not them!
…
Time passed little by little, and the half of the moon in the sky quickly disappeared.
After the moon disappeared, the night, which was not very bright, suddenly became pitch black.
It was at this moment that Sun Jian gave the order to move forward.
There was some wind.
The wind stirred the river water, causing some waves to make sounds.
Hearing such a sound, Sun Jian stood on the bow of the boat and looked a little happy.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
This is God helping yourself!
Originally, he was worried that at this time, if the operation was carried out at night, even if the enemy could not see them, there would still be sounds.
Eventually, their side will be discovered by the enemy in advance.
thus causing adverse effects.
But at this time, the wind suddenly started blowing.
With the sound of water waves blown by the wind, the sound of their ships sliding will be greatly offset.
Good for hiding!
After Sun Jian felt relaxed for a while, he quickly became heavy again.
This time he hasn't really fought yet, but he has actually lost a battle here.
So much so that at this point, a desperate effort is needed!
Thinking like this, Sun Jian felt a little depressed in his heart.
Soon after, these depressions disappeared.
He straightened his body, as if his feet were nailed to the deck, and he did not feel any discomfort despite the rocking of the ship.
Don't say that at this time, the person in front is not Liu Cheng, but Liu Cheng's subordinates. Even if Liu Cheng's traitor comes in person, he is not afraid!
Sun Jian has been on the battlefield for half his life. What kind of person has he not encountered?
How could it be that they were afraid of Liu Cheng's subordinates?
It's a joke to tell!
Today, these people must see the majesty of Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai!
Let them know that this is Jiangdong, not somewhere else!
When you get to Jiangdong, you have to listen to Sun Wentai, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong!
It is he, the Jiangdong Tiger, who has the final say!
…
When the sky is getting dark, people have become a little relaxed.
I feel like I will be empty again like the past few days.
Sun Jian still didn't come.
But Zhang Liao did not convey any orders.
He still kept his subordinates on high alert.
He felt that Sun Jian could no longer bear it anymore!
The closer it gets to the last moment, the more unable to relax.
"Dingling bell..."
"Dingling bell..."
Suddenly, a bell rang in the darkness.
After hearing this sound, Zhang Liao was instantly alert.
"Enemy attack!!"
He shouted loudly.
Immediately after remembering the sound, drums and gongs sounded together.
Warn the rest of the troops that the enemy is attacking, and put them all on alert.
Sun Jian, on the other hand, was also shouting curses at this time.
This Liao traitor is so treacherous!
Such an arrangement was actually made in the middle of the river!
The sound of the bells was caused by Zhang Liao's men pulling down the rope in the river at a certain distance from their camp.
Bells on the rope.
This kind of bell is not very sensitive.
When the general wind blows, it basically doesn't make much noise.
Only when there is a big movement such as a collision with a ship, a loud noise will be made and the alarm bell will sound.
It turns out that Zhang Liao's place seemed very quiet.
But now, I am alive in an instant!
A large number of torches were lit, and many soldiers and generals were ready.
Bows and crossbows are all ready!
Although Sun Jian was worried after arriving here, he also knew that at this time, there was no other choice.
It can only be a hard fight.
He stood on the bow of the ship, holding an ancient ingot knife in his hand.
It makes people beat the drum directly!
The sound of drums rumbled through the darkness.
After a while, the distance between the two parties became closer.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The sound of arrows piercing the air continued to sound.
Both sides shoot at each other!
"Boom!"
The moment the dull sound sounded, Sun Jian felt the boat beneath his feet suddenly tremble.
He is also someone familiar with water warfare.
Just based on this feeling, one can know that this is his ship that hit the hidden piles arranged by these thieves in advance, or something else!
After seeing this scene, Sun Jian felt a little heavy in his heart.
Then immediately have someone take out the rockets that were prepared in advance.
Shooting towards Zhang Liao's camp.
Set the opponent's ships on fire!
Obviously, Zhang Liao and the others had already responded to these methods.
Their big ships are all far away from here.
Ordinary rockets can't be shot at all!
At the same time, many small boats were put down, like migratory locusts, flying through the night.
He was being driven towards Sun Jian's ship!
And here, Sun Jian also released a lot of small boats.
Head towards Zhang Liao and the others!
An extremely fierce battle started on the river at night!
