Yuan Tan summoned the generals and gave the order to storm Sun Jian's camp and offered a heavy reward.

The generals quickly returned to the camp and organized men and horses to prepare for the attack. After besieging and attacking for several days, the soldiers had been waiting for a long time. In less than half an hour, the various departments came out of the camp one after another, forcing Sun Jian's camp.

The drums of war rang out like thunder, one after another.

Sun Jian stood on the command platform in the camp, looking at Yuan Jun who was slowly approaching, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were disdainful. He did not go out of the camp to engage in the battle, relying on the large battalion to defend. With food, the soldiers, who had been half-starved for several days, were finally able to have a full meal, and they also saw the meat, and their morale was greatly boosted. In the face of the menacing Yuan army, they did not show weakness, clenched the weapons in their hands, and stood behind the camp fence to look at the enemy who was getting closer and closer.

Zu Mao stood under the command stand with the Yicong battalion, and Han Dang stood on the other side with the Yicong cavalry. The knights did not mount their horses, but stood beside them to save the physical strength of the horses. Sun Ce brought 400 pack horses, and Sun Jian picked some of them to supplement the Yicong Cavalry to replace the injured and weak horses.

Outside the camp, Yuan's army entered the firing range, and the crossbowmen lined up to shoot covering the fire, and the platoon escorted the infantry to attack. Thousands of bows and crossbows were fired in a volley, and a rain of arrows leaped into the sky and flew straight down, some over the barracks and into the camp, some through the barracks and on the shields, but many more were shot at the barracks.

The soldiers in the battalion were silent, the sword and shield bearers were in front, holding shields to cover themselves and their companions behind them, the crossbowmen were behind, half-crouching on the ground, the crossbows were already wound and held in their hands, ready to shoot at any time, and the archers were set up with arrows, the bowstrings were half relaxed, waiting for the order to shoot.

Seeing that there was no reaction in the camp, Yuan's infantry began to attack. They marched towards the camp gate with their shields in hand, covering each other, and walking very carefully. Several soldiers carried long wooden poles with knives tied to them, ready to cut the ropes of the drawbridge. When they were about thirty paces, the crossbowmen of the battalion began to shoot, and a bolt of crossbow arrows passed through the barracks, and the shields rattled.

Yuan's formation was denser, and the shields were overlapped. They knew that Sun Jian was in a hurry, and the strong crossbows that could break the shield were limited, as long as the shield array was tight enough, they could protect themselves to the greatest extent. They stopped in front of the trench and lined up in a shield formation to cover the crossbowmen for suppressive fire, while others tried to cross the trench and cross the water to the camp gate, lower the drawbridge, and receive more of their companions.

The crossbowmen in the camp gate intensified their shooting. The soldiers who swam in the water could not be carefully protected, and one after another were hit by arrows, and blood gushed out, staining the muddy water red, but some people still crossed the camp and began to attack the camp gate, and the two sides cut with knives, stabbed with spears, and shot with arrows across the camp fence, and did not give in to each other.

Seeing that there were more and more soldiers of Yuan in front of the camp gate, and the camp gate was in danger of being breached, Sun Jian waved his hand. Zu Mao received the order and ran towards the camp gate with a team of volunteers. The war drums sounded, and the soldiers who were blocking the camp gate heard the war drums and immediately stepped aside, and at the same time opened the camp gate. Sergeant Yuan was overjoyed, swarmed in, and collided head-on with Zu Mao and others.

The Yicong battalion led by Zu Mao is the elite accumulated by Sun Jian for many years, with the best equipment and relatively fine training, and its combat effectiveness is enough to be compared with Sun Ce's personal guard battalion. Zu Mao held a shield in one hand and waved a knife in the other, killed several people in a row, and then highlighted the camp gate, and killed all the soldiers and soldiers of Yuan who had passed the camp trench, and then returned to the camp and ordered the camp gate to be closed.

Relying on the combat effectiveness of the Yicong battalion, Sun Jian thwarted several attacks by Yuan's army and firmly held the camp. However, Zhu Zhi, Huang Gai and others did not have such a strong volunteer battalion, and they were frequently in danger in front of the superior forces of Zhu Ling, Cheng Yu and Cao Ang, and had to ask Sun Jian for help. Sun Jian immediately sent reinforcements from Han Dang, and with the war horses, they could quickly travel between the battalions.

After half a day of fierce fighting, Yuan's army failed to succeed, but its morale was still high. It was getting late, and Yuan Jun began to light torches in front of the formation, preparing for a night battle.

Yuan Tan sat on the command platform, looking at the sunset that was about to set, and suddenly said faintly: "George, what do you say Sun Ce is doing now?" ”

Simbi did not lift his head. "Whatever he's doing? We all have to be prepared for his night attack, especially the baggage camp. As long as he dares to come, let him have no return. He is dead, and the southeast can be determined. ”

"I know that I have informed the generals that no matter how tense the fighting is, the Guards Battalion will not be allowed to go into battle. No matter whose camp Sun Ce attacked, he must bite him and not let him escape. ”

——

Sun Ce saw the bright light on the horizon from afar, couldn't suppress his bad emotions, and burst into a foul mouth.

Needless to say, this is Yuan Tan forcing him to gamble. Attacking it must be saved, and waiting for work is one of the best ways for foot soldiers to deal with cavalry. If he couldn't help it, he would rush up to kick the camp or save Sun Jian now, and he would be in Yuan Tan's arms, and he wouldn't be able to get out if he went in.

This is also the reason why he jumped out of the encirclement early in the morning, despite the fatigue of the soldiers. If he is slow for half a day, he will not be able to get out.

"Let's go, let's go to Changyi." Sun Ce turned the horse's head.

"Why go to Changyi?" Sun Yi followed. "We can't capture Changyi City again."

Sun Ce turned his head to look at Sun Yi, laughed, and reached out to pat Sun Yi's head. "Ah Yi, we are not going to attack Changyi, but to make the people in Changyi City dare not come out. Not only Changyi, but also several nearby counties have to go, and none of them can be left behind, so Yuan Tan doesn't know what we want to do. ”

"We don't care about Aung anymore?"

"Ah Weng doesn't need us to take care of it, he can still support it in three or five days, it's really not good, he can also get out of the siege, Yuan Tan can't stop him."

Sun Yi nodded. "I know that he is reluctant to let those subordinates go, otherwise he would have been out of the siege a long time ago."

Sun Ce didn't say anything more. This is exactly where Yuan Tan is sinister, surround but not kill, save Sun Jian's troops, so that he can't break out of the siege, which is more meaningful than killing a large number of people. Sun Jian didn't know, but seeing through it doesn't mean that he can put it down.

He sometimes wonders, if he is not a traverser, can he still walk away ruthlessly and set up a bigger game like now, knowing that Sun Jian may be wiped out? This is a gamble, and the bet is Sun Jian's life.

Sun Ce thought as he rode his horse. With the map that Qin Song brought out from Changyi, he almost didn't take any detours, and soon arrived at the Wutang Pavilion in the north of Fanghe City. The battlefield is nearby, Wutang Pavilion is heavily guarded, torches are lit on the watchtower, and someone is on duty. But Sun Ce didn't care at all, how could a small Wu Tang Pavilion stop his way. Including the pavilion chief, there are only a dozen people in a pavilion, and there is only one way to die except surrender.

Sun Ce asked people to come forward and call the door, unexpectedly, the pavilion chief did not come out to surrender, but there were a few more figures on the watchtower, and the gong that called the alarm sounded harshly, and it was as tight as a sound.

Sun Ce's heart moved, not angry but happy.

Knowing that he is invincible and still refuses to surrender, there must be big fish in the pavilion.
