When he heard the alarm in Yuan Tan's camp, Sun Jian's eyes widened, and while observing the development of the situation, he asked all the soldiers to be prepared for contingencies, especially Han Dang and Zu Mao, they are his personal guards and cavalry, and they are his biggest reliance at the moment, if there is a fight, they are the first choice.

Seeing the fire in Yuan Tan's camp and the black smoke rising into the sky, Sun Jian smiled contentedly. He could understand Sun Ce's approach. Burning Yuan Tan's baggage battalion, Yuan Tan's military advantage was greatly reduced, and then he either withdrew his troops or sent people to redeploy. If it was the latter, then the cavalry led by Sun Ce would become his nightmare. That alone saw a chance to turn the tables around, and although the next three to five days could be very difficult, he was confident that he would get through. As long as it can be overcome, the situation could be reversed.

When Guo Wu came on a horse, rushed to the front of the camp, and told him that Sun Ce had prepared some supplies for him and was sending them here, Sun Jian was surprised and delighted, and could hardly believe his ears. If Guo Wu was not a close confidant of Sun Ce's side, if it weren't for the fact that Guo Wu had been under his command for several months, he would have thought that Yuan Tan had lured him out of the camp with a trick.

While applauding Sun Ce, Sun Jian opened the camp gate as soon as possible and personally led Zu Mao and others out of the camp to respond. Compared with Yuan Jun's slow beat, their reaction was simply breathtaking, and when Yuan Tan's former soldiers opened the camp gate and tried to rush over to intercept it, Sun Jian had already set up a blocking position in front of the camp, and Han Dang led more than 100 knights out of the camp and galloped back and forth in front of the formation, achieving an excellent deterrent effect.

This greatly reduced the responsibility on the shoulders of Bai Yushi, who was escorting the convoy, and he was originally going to be sent to Sun Jian's camp, but now he only walked half the way, and Han Dang rushed over and took over the task. After Guo Wu reported to Sun Ce and issued the order to retreat, Bai Yushi withdrew from the battlefield as soon as possible, a little earlier than expected.

Sun Jian escorted more than 30 carts into the camp, and as soon as the camp was closed, Hongzi came over with a few rice balls, and he couldn't stop talking. "Junhou, Bo Fu is really considerate, knowing that we have nothing to eat, he cooked it for us directly, and he can eat it when he picks it up."

When Sun Jian saw it, he couldn't help but laugh. "This shaft is careful." As he spoke, he picked up a rice ball. "All the soldiers?"

"Yes, there are thirty-three carts, each cart has about five or six hundred rice balls, and I have people next to the tent, one cart at a time, and the day's food will be solved. The rest was handed over to the baggage battalion for unified preservation. The weather is cold, so it is not a problem to leave it for two or three days. There are also a few carts of drugs and arrows, which are directly divided. ”

"Okay, okay." Sun Jian nodded in agreement. Hongzi has no force and is average in resourcefulness, but he is careful and good at handling these trivial matters, which saves him a lot of worry. Knowing that the soldiers had something to eat, Sun Jian also took a big bite, and bit off half of the rice ball at once, revealing the meat sandwiched in the middle, and couldn't help but be stunned. "And meat?"

Hongzi was also stunned, he hadn't eaten yet, and he didn't know that there was still meat in the rice ball, although it was only two thin slices, but for these soldiers who were facing a food shortage crisis, these two pieces of meat were unimaginably delicious.

Without waiting for Hongzi to react, Han Dang rushed over in stride. "General, there's meat in here."

A few soldiers in the distance laughed out loud, seeing that they covered their mouths with their hands to prevent the rice balls in their mouths from falling out, and couldn't help but want to laugh, Sun Jian also smiled. He shook his head. "This shaft is so sweet, these slices of meat are the best tasting I've ever tasted in my life."

"Wow!" Han Dang shook his head as he swallowed the rice ball in his mouth. "Prince, it's too early for you to say this. In my opinion, the good days are still to come, with a son like the rebellious general, a mere Wucheng Marquis will never be the apex of your life. Hongjun, don't you say? ”

Hongzi smiled without saying a word, broke off a piece of rice ball, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly. Although the rice balls were already cold, he felt that they were extraordinarily fragrant.

More and more soldiers got the rice balls, ate the meat inside, and cheered in unison.

"Long live the Major General—"

——

Yuan Tan looked at the smoke and dust that were gradually moving away, one on the left and one on the right, and listened to the cheers from the camp opposite, and gritted his teeth in anger.

Fast, it's too fast.

From the time he received the alarm to Sun Ce's withdrawal from the battlefield, it was less than two moments, and if he slowed down, maybe the meal was not finished. The guards who went out with Xin Bi had not yet entered the battlefield, Zhu Ling had just received the order, looking at the position of the battle flag, he should not have had time to leave the camp, let alone bypassing the camp to the south to block Sun Ce, and he might not even be able to see Ma Chao's back.

If it weren't for the chaos in the camp, if it weren't for the smoke and flames of the baggage camp, he really wondered if he was dreaming.

But the situation has been completely reversed, the baggage camp has been burned, and he only has three or five days of food left, which is not much better than Sun Jian. After two days and two nights of hard work, the advantage gained by nearly 10,000 heavy casualties was suddenly hit by Sun Ce, and all of them were in vain.

It's lightning fast.

Yuan Tan sat down weakly on the podium. He had been tired for two days and two nights, and he had only relied on one breath to hold on, and now that this breath was vented again, he suddenly felt that there was darkness in front of him, there was no hope in sight, and he didn't even have the strength to think.

When you encounter such an opponent, how can you fight? I can't keep up at all.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a knight rushed into the camp, ran to the command platform, turned over and dismounted, got on the command platform with both hands and feet, and stood in front of Yuan Tan, panting heavily. "Envoy."

Yuan Tan glanced at the knight, recognized it as a member of the guards, and asked weakly, "What's wrong?" He asked himself that the battle had reached this point, and that what could be worse than the burning of the baggage camp?

"The envoy, the horse Sima and the two hundred men will be killed."

Yuan Tan's body stiffened, and he wanted to stand up, but then gave up again. He knew that the cavalry Sima and the hundred generals were not warriors, but they were just a little better than ordinary knights. There were many warriors under Sun Ce's command, and even Wen Chou was injured, and it was not an accident that these people died.

"What about Xin Changshi?"

"He was chased and killed by Sun Ce, and his life and death are unknown."

Yuan Tan was startled, the corners of his eyes twitched twice involuntarily, and his face became hideous.

The knight swallowed. "Envoy, there is another ...... Bad news. ”

"What's the bad news?" Yuan Tan suddenly became furious, and he didn't know where the strength gushed out, he jumped up and slapped the knight in the face. The knight was caught off guard, took a blow, subconsciously covered his face, and looked at Yuan Tan in dismay.

Yuan Tan was even more angry, and shouted: "Tell me quickly, what other bad news is there?" ”

Sun Ce...... Thirty or forty cartloads of grain were sent into the camp. ”

Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Sun Jian's camp in the distance. It was too far away for him to see clearly, but he could faintly hear cheers. He had heard it just now, but only now did he understand the reason for the cheers. Although thirty or forty carts of food is not much, it is undoubtedly life-saving food for Sun Jian, no wonder they are so happy.

Sun Ce burned my baggage camp not enough, and he still had the heart to send food to Sun Jian, but he actually succeeded?

Yuan Tan suddenly felt that his chest was very uncomfortable, and his mouth was filled with a strong smell of blood. His eyes went black, he shook twice, and fell to the ground, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.
