Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Vol 3 Chapter 246: Soldiers approaching the city

The Jingzhou army was not too far from Xinye. They were advancing along the Han River. After receiving Sun Ce's request for mutual assistance, they were actually not far from Xinye.

When Xinye noticed that the enemy was approaching, he quickly released the wolf smoke, but the wolf smoke did not recall Gao Shun. Gao Shun had left a heavy army in Xinye. Unless the battle was tight, the guards would not give Gao Shun a random signal to withdraw. The meaning of this wolf smoke is to tell Gao Shun that there is an enemy approaching Xinye.

"General, there is wolf smoke in the direction of Xinye. It should be the Jingzhou army." A general came in in Gao Shun's camp, facing Gao Shun who was discussing tactics with everyone.

Gao Shun nodded, calculating that the time should come, but the Xinye defenders were enough, so he never thought of going back.

But I saw another general suddenly say: "General, can I take this opportunity to pretend to withdraw and lead Jiangdong to attack?"

That's a pretty good idea.

Gao Shun glanced at the general. This person was called Cao Xing, who defected to Nanyang after Lu Bu captured Nanyang. He was originally Zhang Miao's general. Later, Zhang Miao and others were destroyed by Cao Cao, and Cao Xing defected to Nanyang. , he was good at shooting, and he was a little bit skimpy. Now he is Gao Shun's right-hand man, he nodded and said, "This method is quite good."

With an idea, Gao Shun immediately ordered the brigade to evacuate, and Cao Xing led a thousand people to lie in the middle of the road.

There is only one word for the army under Gao Shun's command to execute the military order, and that is fast. Following Gao Shun's order, Cao Xing immediately led a thousand people out of the camp to find a suitable place for Tibetan soldiers, and Gao Shun led the army to be the prime minister to return to the city.

Over there, Sun Ce naturally saw the wolf smoke set off here, and when Gao Shun's army withdrew, Sun Ce immediately noticed.

"Good opportunity, chase!" Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard the news, and quickly ordered the three armies to chase after Gao Shun.

The army is naturally not as fast as Gao Shun, but if the Jingzhou army can stop Gao Shun, it is naturally the best to solve this elite before and after the attack. If not, the two can join forces to attack the city and defeat Gao Shun. Effect.

"Bo Fu, something is wrong!" Zhou Yu suddenly noticed something was wrong while chasing the soldiers, and came to Sun Ce's side and said solemnly, "Then Gao Shun is getting closer and closer to our army, obviously it is to lure our army to fight!"

With Gao Shun's control over that army, it was obviously unreasonable to allow them to catch up when retreating. After all, there was no enemy in front of him!

Obviously, the opponent's return to Xinye is an illusion, and it is real to lure him into battle.

Sun Ce immediately reacted when he heard the words, but he had seen Gao Shun's terrifying control over the army. Suddenly stopping the march at this time would only give Gao Shun an opportunity. Sun Ce could only slowly control the army to slow down and finally stop. Be defensive to prevent Gao Shun from taking the opportunity to kill him.

Gao Shun had been controlling the army to slow down. Sun Ce slowed down, so he naturally noticed it. Obviously, the enemy had already sensed his movement.

Thinking of this, Gao Shun immediately ordered the soldiers to stop and prepare for battle.

He had no signal with Cao Xing, so he could only wait for Cao Xing to attack first and disrupt the enemy's formation, and then Gao Shun could make a move.

The two armies confronted each other. Gao Shun's shield hand quickly erected a shield to form a shield wall, and raised flags on three sides. Gao Shun watched the enemy formation from a distance, but he saw that although Jiangdong's army did not seem to be banned from Gao Shun's side, Sun Ce did it early. Prepare, rush up at this time, that flaw may become a trap.

When the two sides played against each other, the two sides were almost in a state of mutual knowledge. The enemy commander was no worse than him, and even in terms of control, the other side was still above him. At this time, the comparison was who made fewer mistakes.

Jiang Dong's army is not as strict as Gao Shun's men, with orders and prohibitions, and it is naturally more difficult to control than Gao Shun's soldiers, and the scale is larger. From this point of view, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are actually no worse than Gao Shun in this regard, or even Still more than that.

The two sides confronted each other, but no one took the first shot. After all, Sun Ce had seen the power of the enemy. Although there were few people, but if he collided head-on like this, he would have suffered heavy damage. Shooting in the air, at this moment, if you are attacking from a distance, you can only use high bows and arrows, and Gao Shun is naturally reluctant to attack hard.

In addition, both sides were also waiting for the enemy to make a breach. Sun Ce was waiting for the arrival of the Jingzhou army, while Gao Shun was waiting for Cao Xing's signal.

However, it is clear that, compared to the Jingzhou army, Cao Xing's side was well prepared. Although Sun Ce did not enter his ambush point as expected, allowing him to calmly attack back and forth, Cao Xing's current position , on the flank of Sun Ce.

After realizing that the two sides were in a stalemate, Cao Xing pondered for a while and decided to attack.

The wolf smoke has not been set off. At this moment, the wolf smoke will not have any unexpected effect. Cao Xing brought a thousand elites and suddenly rushed out from the low hills. There are not many places suitable for ambush in Xinye. There were a thousand soldiers in hiding, so Sun Ce didn't notice anything wrong with this place during the pursuit.

Cao Xing suddenly rushed out, and Ling Cao, who was on the flank, was caught off guard and collapsed by the appearance of this elite killer.

Not good!

Sun Ce obviously also sensed that the situation was not good for him, and made a decisive decision, instead of taking care of the flanks, he waved his troops towards Gao Shun.

It has to be said that Sun Ce's impromptu decision was correct. The nearby terrain could not have too many ambushes, so even if a surprise attack was encountered, it would not cause much damage. , at that time, Gao Shun, who was keeping an eye on him, was bound to wave his troops straight ahead.

When the time comes, then it's really a lost game.

Therefore, Sun Ce ignored the flank that was suddenly attacked, and instead directly waved his troops to attack Gao Shun.

Although Sun Ce's reaction was unexpected, Gao Shun was not flustered, he quickly adjusted his mentality, and commanded the troops to kill Jiangdong's army in the same place.

Without the pressure of the continuous crossbow, he could only choose bows and arrows to cooperate with melee combat. Although he was well-equipped and an elite division, there were still few people. By the time the soldiers under his command began to feel powerless, the casualties began to increase.

If we fight again, this team will completely collapse.

Even for elites, unless certain conditions, it is difficult to fight to the death.

However, if he wanted to retreat at this moment, Sun Ce would definitely be delayed.

Gao Shun suddenly commanded the troops and rushed towards Sun Ce's flag.

"Send orders to all the ministries, don't move around, let him come!" Sun Ce obviously noticed this, he put his spear on the ground, and shouted loudly, "I don't want to die! Kill!"

With Sun Ce roaring like this, Jiang Dong's army quickly stabilized, and the surrounding soldiers were even more driven by Sun Ce, and they fought even more fiercely.

This was the first time that Gao Shun felt the pressure brought about by Sun Ce. He originally wanted to attack the enemy's main general and lead the enemy troops to rescue him, so he could take the opportunity to withdraw.

In the end, he didn't expect Sun Ce to be so brave, which was a bit of a miscalculation.

That being the case, Gao Shun had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

With an order, the horn sounded, and Cao Xing, who had already defeated Ling Cao's troops and was about to attack the Jiangdong Army's central army, heard the horn sound, and without saying a word, sought to withdraw the army.

Gao Shun also quickly began to retreat.

Sun Ce was overjoyed when he saw this. This was the first time he had gained an advantage after fighting against Gao Shun. He would never let it go. Blocked, watching Gao Shun withdraw to Xinye.

Sun Ce personally led the team to chase and kill him. When he got here, he didn't see the Jingzhou army, and he sighed deeply. If there was a group of troops that blocked Gao Shun, he would be able to leave that group behind, and even Gao Shun might be left behind.

At this moment, he could only watch Gao Shun retreat back to Xinye. Sun Ce slammed his spear into the ground and said angrily, "Where is the Jingzhou army!?"

"My lord, the Jingzhou army was in the west of the city, so we couldn't arrive in time." Taishi Cice came to Sun Ce's side, and said regretfully.

"Trash!" Sun Ce glanced at the west of the city, cursed fiercely, and glanced at Xinye unwillingly, and then he slowly withdrew.

Back in the army to count the battle damage, Ling Cao, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang, He Qi's troops were all defeated, and none of Sun Ce's army was not damaged.

But all the ministries combined, there were nearly 10,000 casualties alone.

It is also thanks to the fact that the Jiangdong Army is under the leadership of each general. In battle, one general leads a team and is divided. If they swarm up and fight, then as a result, if Gao Shun is not defeated, the Jiangdong Army will have to be defeated first.

In addition to the losses in the previous two battles, the battle has just started, and the Jiangdong Army's 50,000-strong army already has only over 30,000 left!

How can this be fought! ?

After taking inventory of the battle damage~www.NovelMTL.com~ Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Taishi Ci and the others gathered in one place and were speechless. After causing such a huge battle loss, in the end, Gao Shun was not completely wiped out, or even defeated. Can this result be considered a victory?

"My lord, Wenpin is here!" Jiang Qin came in from outside the tent and bowed to Sun Ce.

"Please!"

Although they were unhappy with the sluggishness of the Jingzhou army, Gao Shun's elite finally ran back to Xinye, but the two sides are not subordinates. Now they still have to count on the Jingzhou army to break the enemy with them. Naturally, they can't show too much displeasure, even if I'm really heartbroken.

Soon, Wen Pin came in under the leadership of Jiang Qin, bowed to Sun Ce, and without waiting for Sun Ce to speak, Wen Pin said first: "Please forgive me, I was already attacking the city when I came here, but this small town in Xinye was extremely garrisoned. Too many, I failed to respond to the general in time, and I hope the general will forgive me."

"What did Zhongye say? Where did the crime come from?" Sun Ce waved his hand and looked at Wen Pin and said, "I thought that Gao Shun took the initiative to send troops, but his strength was insufficient, but now it seems that this is not the case!"

Wen Pin nodded. The Xinye defenders had led out far more than Gao Shun. As soon as they attacked the city, they were stunned by a head-on attack.

"Pin came here this time because I wanted to discuss with the envoy about attacking the city. Although this Xinye City is small, it seems that it is not easy to capture now." Wen Ping bowed to Sun Ce and said.

More than that, it's not easy. Just like Gao Shun's use of troops, in the end, we don't know who wins or loses.
