"General Taishi and Lieutenant Gan, the enemy troops retreated out of the city and were coming here. However, Sun Ce left in two groups. There were three to four thousand people in the front group, many of whom were injured, and about five thousand people in the rear group.
."Tan Ma Lai reported.
Taishi Ci and Gan Ning each led 3,000 troops and lurked more than ten miles outside Wuhu City. After waiting for two days, they originally thought that Sun Ce would not leave so soon. Liu Bei was already ready to let them go back, but they did not expect that Sun Ce would really
Abandoned the city and left.
Now Sun Ce left in two groups, five or six miles apart, which was a problem.
According to Tan Ma, the old, weak and wounded soldiers should be in the front, and the elite troops and horses should be in the rear.
Moreover, it was reported that Sun Ce's injury was not serious, so Sun Ce must be among the troops at the rear.
Originally Taishi Ci and Gan Ning wanted to hide in front and behind, but they couldn't find a good hiding place, so they had to gather together to hide.
"In my opinion, Sun Ce must be in the rear army," Gan Ning said.
Their target is mainly Sun Ce, so they must first determine whether Sun Ce is in front or behind before they can intercept.
Taishi Ci thought for a while and said: "If he is seriously injured, he should be in the front army. If he is not seriously injured, he must be in the rear army."
"Then what do you think? Should we attack his front army as well as his rear army?" Gan Ning asked.
Taishi Ci's current identity is the Grand Administrator of Danyang, and he is already a Zhonglang General, serving above Gan Ning. This ambush was led by Taishi Ci.
"If we attack the front army, we may be in vain. If we attack the rear army, the front army will come back to rescue us. We will be attacked from both front and rear, which is very disadvantageous."
"Don't be afraid if you are attacked from the front or rear. Sun Ce's new defeat will shock his troops, so we will attack his rear army. If the front army returns to rescue you, you block his front army, and I will attack his rear army, as well as General Cao's two troops."
Thousands of reinforcements can attack from behind, and Sun Ce will definitely die this time."
Taishi Ci felt that what Gan Ning said was right, so he agreed to his suggestion and sent people to report to Liu Bei. He also sent people to inform Cao Cheng, asking him to lead troops to attack from behind the enemy's rear.
After the arrangements were made, we just waited for Sun Ce's troops to arrive.
Sun Ce abandoned the city and retreated. There were already scouts reporting to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei already knew that Sun Ce was injured but still alive, and he showed up in front of the generals. It seemed that the injury was not too serious.
Zhou Ping said: "Sun Ce abandoned the city and retreated. It is time for his death. My lord, we can order Yide to lead five thousand troops and chase after him. This will make Sun Ce think that we did not expect him to retreat, so we did not expect an ambush ahead."
"
"Haha, sir, what you are worried about is very true. Yi De, please quickly lead five thousand men to chase Sun Ce. Don't chase him too closely. Wait until all the ambush troops in front are out, and then charge away."
Liu Bei ordered.
Zhang Fei was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he could pursue the enemy, so he immediately accepted the promise and sent out troops to pursue him.
After Sun Ce left, the people in Wuhu City opened the city gates. Liu Bei first asked Gao Shun to lead a thousand troops into the city, and then personally led the army into the city to appease the people.
More than ten miles north of Wuhu, Sun Ce was lying in the car, with the doctor following closely.
"Go slower, go slower!"
The doctor was afraid that Sun Ce's wound would open again, so he repeatedly ordered the carriage to drive slower.
Sun Ce did not expect that Liu Bei would send troops and horses to hide and wait, because Zhou Yu sent scouts to investigate in the past two days and saw no signs of Liu Bei's troops and horses, so he thought that there could be no ambush ahead.
However, even Zhou Yu did not expect that Zhou Ping would send troops first after the war. At that time, Zhou Yu was worried about Sun Ce's injury and had no energy to pay attention to the movements of enemy troops outside the city.
The carriage was indeed moving slowly, because there were many wounded soldiers, and it was not moving fast. After sunset, they only traveled less than twenty miles.
According to the plan, they had to walk another ten miles before they could camp.
With Zhou Yu leading five thousand troops at the rear, Sun Ce was not very worried about enemy soldiers chasing him.
Zhou Yu set up many suspected ambushes along the way, hoping to slow down the pursuing troops.
After walking three or four miles further, Sun Ce was lying in the car when he suddenly heard the sound of drums beating loudly from behind, and the shouts of killing were heard loudly.
"No, there's an ambush."
Sun Ce suddenly turned over and sat up. It seemed that he had pulled the wound, causing him a burst of pain.
He stuck his head out of the car and told Zhou Tai: "Send someone quickly to see how the situation is."
People outside the car had already heard the beating of drums and shouts of death. Judging from the sound, they were not too far away from them.
"General, don't move. Lie down in the car quickly. Don't touch the wound."
The doctor quickly stepped forward to advise.
Zhou Tai agreed and sent people to investigate the situation, and at the same time ordered his troops to move quickly.
Sun Ce lay down again and saw blood oozing from his abdomen, and the wound seemed to be somewhat broken.
The doctor got on the carriage to check on him and said urgently: "General, don't move anymore, just lie down."
At this time, the carriage was running fast and bumpy, and the doctor shouted urgently: "Run more steadily, don't run too fast."
However, the troops and horses were already in disarray, especially the wounded soldiers, who were rushing forward to escape. The coachman did not dare to be slower, for fear that if he was slow, he would be overtaken by the enemy soldiers.
Sun Ce was lying in the car, and soon a scout came to report: "General, there is an ambush to intercept the rear army."
"How many enemy soldiers are there?" Sun Ce asked urgently.
"I don't know, maybe five or six thousand people."
"There are so many people, Youping, you quickly bring two thousand soldiers back to assist Gong Jin, attack from both sides and destroy the enemy soldiers." Sun Ce ordered Zhou Tai.
Zhou Tai hurriedly said: "General, if I leave, who will protect you?"
"Go quickly."
Zhou Tai had no choice but to agree and rushed back with two thousand soldiers.
Sun Ce advanced rapidly with a thousand troops and horses.
The carriage bumped even more, and Sun Ce covered his wound with a look of pain on his face.
Zhou Yu led his soldiers and horses to the rear, but unexpectedly, enemy soldiers were lying in front and suddenly appeared to intercept.
Now Zhang Fei is chasing after him with his troops, and he is being attacked at both ends. The only way out is to break through the ambush and retreat to Danyang as soon as possible.
At the same time, the most important thing is to protect Sun Ce's safety.
"Quick, rush forward."
Zhou Yu, wearing armor and carrying a long sword, waved forward on his horse and shouted loudly.
The soldiers and horses he led also knew that if they wanted to escape and survive, they only had to rush forward to find a way out.
Gan Ning was responsible for dealing with the rear army. He raised his sword, rushed to the road, looked at the soldiers and horses on the opposite side, and roared: "Kill!"
The place where they were hiding was two or three miles away from the main road, so it would take some time to rush from the hiding place to the road. They started beating drums and shouting as soon as they emerged, overwhelming the opponent first.
Taishi Ci led his troops to follow behind, responsible for blocking the enemy's front troops from returning to rescue them.
At this moment, Gan Ning ran in front, rushed into the oncoming enemy soldiers, slashed with his sword, and the two feathers on his back were splashed with blood.
However, these enemy soldiers seemed to be risking their lives and rushed forward desperately.
This is their way of escape, they can only rush through it.
Otherwise, they will flee in all directions, and in that case, the army and horses will be completely defeated.
The soldiers and horses led by Gan Ning were not trapped in the camp. They were fundamentally different in terms of combat strength and were advancing more slowly. This made him a little annoyed. He yelled: "The ambition to trap the camp will lead to death or life! Kill!"
