Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 246 Soldiers approaching the city

The Jingzhou army is not too far from Xinye, they are advancing along the Han River, and after receiving Sun Ce's request for mutual assistance, they are actually not far from Xinye.

When Xinye sensed that the enemy was approaching, he quickly released the beacon smoke, but the beacon fire did not recall Gao Shun. Gao Shun left a heavy army in Xinye. The meaning of this wolf smoke is to tell Gao Shun that there are enemies approaching Xinye.

"General, there is smoke in the direction of Xinye. It should be that the Jingzhou army has arrived." In Gao Shun's camp, a general came in and said to Gao Shun who was discussing tactics with everyone.

Gao Shun nodded, calculating that the time should be up, but there are enough defenders in Xinye, so he didn't think about going back.

But another general suddenly said: "General, can you take this opportunity to pretend to withdraw the troops and lure Jiangdong to attack?"

That's not a bad idea.

Gao Shun glanced at the general, his name was Cao Xing, he was defected to Nanyang after Lu Bu captured Nanyang, he was originally a general of Zhang Miao, and later Zhang Miao and others were destroyed by Cao Cao, so Cao Xing defected to Nanyang , he is good at shooting, and he is also a little general. Now he is Gao Shun's right-hand man, nodded and said: "This method is not bad."

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

Gao Shun's army had only one word in the execution of the military order, and that was fast. With Gao Shun's order, Cao Xing immediately led thousands of people out of the camp to find a place suitable for hiding soldiers, and Gao Shun led the army to return to the city.

Naturally, Sun Ce also saw the smoke from the fire. As soon as Gao Shun's army withdrew, Sun Ce immediately noticed it.

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

Naturally, the large army is not as fast as Gao Shun's, but if the Jingzhou army can stop Gao Shun, it is best to attack the elite before and after the outside of the city. Effect.

"Bo Fu, something is wrong!" During the pursuit, Zhou Yu suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and came to Sun Ce's side and said in a deep voice, "Then Gao Shun is getting closer and closer to our army, and he is clearly trying to lure our army into battle!"

With Gao Shun's control over that army, it was obviously unreasonable for them to catch up with them when they retreated. After all, there was no enemy blocking them!

Obviously, the opponent's return to Xinye is an illusion, and it is true to lure himself to play.

Sun Ce immediately reacted when he heard the words, but he had seen Gao Shun's terrifying control over the army. Stopping the march suddenly at this time would only give Gao Shun an opportunity. Sun Ce could only slowly control the army to slow down, and finally stopped. Be on the defensive to prevent Gao Shun from taking the opportunity to come back.

Gao Shun has been controlling the army to slow down, and Sun Ce's side slowed down. He naturally noticed it. Obviously, the enemy has already noticed his movements.

With this in mind, Gao Shun immediately ordered the soldiers to stop and prepare for battle.

He didn't have a signal with Cao Xing, so he had to wait for Cao Xing to attack first and disrupt the enemy's formation before Gao Shun could make a move. If he made a strong attack at this moment, even if they were all elite troops, they might not be able to get out.

The two armies faced each other, Gao Shun's shield quickly erected the shield to form a shield wall, and raised the flag on three sides. Gao Shun watched the enemy's formation from a distance, but saw that although the Jiangdong Army did not follow the orders of Gao Shun's side, Sun Ce made it earlier. Prepare to pounce on it at this time, that opening may become a trap.

In the two rounds, the two sides are already in a state of mutual understanding. The enemy commander is by no means inferior to himself, and even in terms of control, the opponent is still superior to himself. At this time, the comparison is who makes fewer mistakes.

The Jiangdong army is not as strict as Gao Shun's men, and orders are prohibited. Naturally, the difficulty of control is more difficult 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 respect, even There is still more than that.

The two sides confronted each other, but neither of them made the first move. After all, Sun Ce had seen the might of the enemy army. Although there were few people, if he collided head-on like this, he would be seriously injured, and the two crossbow boxes that Gao Shun carried when he left the city were already dead. Shooting in the air, if it is a long-range attack at this moment, it can only use a high bow and arrow, and Gao Shun is naturally not willing to attack hard.

In addition, both sides are also waiting for the enemy's opening. Sun Ce is waiting for the arrival of the Jingzhou Army, while Gao Shun is waiting for Cao Xing's signal.

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

After realizing that the two sides were in a stalemate, Cao Xing pondered for a moment before deciding to attack.

The wolf smoke was not set off, and at this moment, the effect of setting off the wolf smoke would not be unexpected. Cao Xing brought a thousand elites and suddenly rushed out from behind the low hill. There are not many places in Xinye that are suitable for ambushes. There were thousands of Tibetan soldiers, so Sun Ce didn't realize that something was wrong during the pursuit.

Cao Xing rushed out suddenly, Ling Cao on the flank was caught off guard, and those killed by this elite team collapsed.

Not good!

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

I have to say that Sun Ce's impromptu decision was correct. There can't be too many ambushes in the nearby terrain, so even if he encounters a surprise attack, it won't cause too much damage, but if he goes back to the army to see it, there will inevitably be great chaos At that time, Gao Shun, who was staring at him closely, would definitely march forward.

When it really comes to that time, it is really a lost game.

Therefore, Sun Ce didn't care about the flanks that were suddenly attacked, but directly swung his troops to attack Gao Shun.

Although Sun Ce's reaction was unexpected, Gao Shun was not flustered, and quickly adjusted his mentality, commanding soldiers and horses to fight with Jiangdong's army.

Without the suppression of Liannu, they could only choose bows and arrows to cooperate with melee combat. Although they are well-equipped and elite troops, they are still few in number. When the soldiers under his command began to feel powerless, the casualties also began to intensify.

If the fight continues, this team will completely collapse.

Even the elite, unless there are certain conditions, it is difficult to fight to the death.

But if he wanted to retreat at this moment, Sun Ce would inevitably lag behind.

Gao Shun suddenly commanded the troops and rushed towards Sun Ceshuai's banner.

"Order all the ministries, don't move around, let him come!" Sun Ce obviously also noticed this, he threw the spear in his hand on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Why should I die! Kill!"

Following Sun Ce's roar, Jiangdong's army quickly stabilized, and the surrounding soldiers were mobilized by Sun Ce to fight more fiercely.

This was the first time that Gao Shun experienced the pressure brought by Sun Ce. He originally wanted to attack the opponent's general in a hurry, attract all the enemy's troops to rescue him, and take the opportunity to withdraw his troops.

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 could only withdraw directly.

As soon as an order was issued, the trumpet 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 sound of the trumpet, and without further ado, sought to withdraw his troops.

Gao Shun also quickly started to retreat.

Sun Ce was overjoyed when he saw this, this was the first time he had gained an advantage after fighting Gao Shun, so he would not let it go, so he waved his troops and chased after him. Blocked, watching Gao Shun withdraw to Xinye.

Sun Ce personally led the team to chase after him. When he chased here, he didn't see the Jingzhou army, and he sighed. As long as there is a team blocking Gao Shun, he can keep this team, and even Gao Shun may be left behind.

At this moment, he could only watch helplessly as Gao Shun withdrew to Xinye. Sun Ce thrust his spear into the ground fiercely, and said angrily, "Where is the Jingzhou Army!?"

"My lord, the Jingzhou army is in the west of the city, so they failed to arrive in time." Taishi Ci rode his horse to Sun Ce's side, regretting.

"Trash!" Sun Ce glanced towards the west of the city, cursed fiercely, and cast a unwilling glance at Xinye, before slowly withdrawing his troops.

Returning to the army to count the battle damage, the troops of Ling Cao, Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang, and He Qi were all defeated, and Sun Ce's army was not damaged.

But when all the ministries add up, nearly ten thousand people were killed in battle alone.

It is also thanks to the fact that each general is in charge of the soldiers of the Jiangdong army. When fighting, one general will lead a team and they will be separated. If they fight together, the result will be that Gao Shun is not defeated, and the Jiangdong army will have to be defeated first.

In addition to the losses from the previous two battles, the war has just started, and the Jiangdong Army's 50,000 troops have only more than 30,000 left!

How can you fight this! ?

After counting the battle damage, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Tai Shici and the others gathered together, speechless because they looked like they had won, but in fact...Gao Shun's five thousand troops caused such a huge battle damage In the end, Gao Shun was not completely annihilated, or even defeated. With this kind of result, can he be considered a win?

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

"please!"

Although I was displeased with the stagnation of the Jingzhou Army before, which caused Gao Shun's elite team to finally run back to Xinye, but the two sides are not subordinate, and now we still have to expect the Jingzhou Army to defeat the enemy with them, so naturally we can't show too much displeasure, even if My heart is really very angry.

Soon, Wen Pin came in under the leadership of Jiang Qin, bowed to Sun Ce, and before Sun Ce could speak, Wen Pin said first, "Forgive me, I was already attacking the city when I came, but the garrison in this small city of Xinye is very serious. If you fail to respond to the general in time, I hope the general will forgive you."

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

Wenpin nodded, Xinye garrison had gone out much more than Gao Shun, and they had just attacked the city when they were stunned by a head-on blow.

"Bin came here this time because he wanted to discuss with the envoy about the siege of the city. Although Xinye City is small, it seems that it is not easy to capture now." Wen Pin saluted Sun Ce.

Not only is it not easy, but with Gao Shun's use of troops, he doesn't know who will win or lose in the end.
