Chapter 124: It's hard to ride a tiger

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu glanced at each other and were shocked.

Didn't you ask Yuan Shu not to leave the camp, how could he be here, and he was still caught by Cao Cao? If he hangs up, it will be useless for me to kill Cao Cao. The Sun family's attachment to Yuan Shu is a foregone conclusion, even if they want to hug Yuan Shao's thigh, Yuan Shao may not be willing to appreciate his face. As for Cao Cao, will Yuan Shao care about his life or death?

Yuan Shu must be saved, but how to save it? There are 10,000 troops on the opposite side, the sky is already clear, and the reality of both sides can be seen clearly, even if the combat effectiveness of the Nanyang soldiers is average, with the absolute superiority of troops, Lou Gui still has a great chance of breaking the formation, at least it is a defeat for both sides. When he was too busy to take care of himself, how could he have the spare strength to save Yuan Shu.

Cao Mengde, you are ruthless, let Lou Gui lead the Nanyang County soldiers to charge in front, and you steal the opportunity to touch the dog in the back. Yuan Highway, you are really stupid, last time you suffered Cao Cao's loss in Xinye, why don't you have a long memory, and the same heel fell twice in succession? You're just a pig teammate, can't you hide in the camp and drink and play with women, where can you jump where there is a pit? If it weren't for you, Lao Tzu would still be able to run, and now he can't run if he wants to.

No matter how you look at it, this is a must-lose. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other, and they both saw despair in each other's eyes.

——

Lou Gui looked at the battle formation across the river, and then looked back at the battle flag that was faintly visible in the distance, listening to the fierce war drums, his eyes flickering.

Cao Cao was actually behind him all the time, helping him stop Yuan Shu. He was obviously resolutely opposed to the night attack on Sun Ce, why did he quietly go out of the city?

Lou Gui didn't think Cao Cao was here to support him. 10,000 people attacking 4,000 people, he didn't need Cao Cao's support at all, even if Yuan Shu rushed to support, he was not worried. There are very few people under Yuan Shu who can really use it, and he doesn't even dare to approach Wancheng, so what combat power can he have. If he can't break Sun Ce's camp, he can still defeat Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu has no big camp to rely on, and he is in a hurry, so he can break it with one drum. Lost in the east, harvested mulberry, he is not a teacher.

But Cao Cao came, and intercepted Yuan Shu. In this way, he must break through Sun Ce's camp, otherwise it will not be enough to save face, and Nanyang Haoqiang will also lose his dignity and will no longer be able to face Cao Cao.

Lou Gui gritted his teeth, canceled the retreat plan, and decided to muster Yu Yong and fight Sun Ce to the death.

"Beat the drums, fight again!"

"Whoa!" The flag bearer waved the battle flag, and the herald carried a small flag and ran to various positions.

"Knock knock! Knock knock! "The drums of war are beating again.

——

Sun Ce turned his head to look at the Nanyang soldiers who had regrouped on the other side of the river and were preparing to fight again, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and an indescribable anger surged up. Damn, Cao Mengde, I cheated Lao Tzu three times in a row, and Lao Tzu fought with you. Even if the whole army is wiped out and you lose, Lao Tzu will you.

"Gongjin, I'll leave it to you here." Sun Ce pressed Zhou Yu's shoulder, his eyes were both crazy and indescribable. "The reality of both sides is clear, Lou Gui refuses to retreat, and we can only fight with him to the end. I'll leave it to you here, and I'll go and save General Hou. ”

Zhou Yu dragged Sun Ce's arm and shouted, "How can you save it?" You have been fighting for half the night, even if you are an iron man, there are times when you are tired, but Cao Cao is waiting for work, he has hundreds of cavalry, coming and going like the wind, not the time for you to be brave. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, you just hold the camp. The stone thrower is no longer needed, and it is a big deal to rebuild it later, withdraw all the people, and strengthen the Chinese army. If you really can't do it, you will break through. Sun Ce turned around and shouted: "Zigu, Zigu!" ”

Dian Wei was born in response. "General, I'm here."

"Are you tired or not, can you still fight?"

Dian Wei shrugged nonchalantly. "It's not fun yet."

"That's great. Maniac, madman. ”

Beidou Feng stood up behind a large cart and smiled. "General, I'm here." but stood there immovable. Sun Ce walked up to him and was taken aback when he saw his blood-stained battle jacket. "Hurt? When and whether it matters? ”

"It's fine, a little hurt." Beidou Feng pulled up his armor and covered his wounds. "General, I can still fight."

"I don't want waste." Sun Ce turned around and walked towards the Chinese army. "You stay with your brothers, follow Gongjin, and I'll take another madman. Lin Feng, you pick ten brothers who are good at riding and archery, and all of them wear double armor. Prepare two healthy horses for Zigu, his body is heavy, and one horse is not enough. ”

Lin Feng's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and he roared: "Brothers, the opportunity has come, the waste is left to rest, and the real man will give Lao Tzu a spirit." The righteousness under his command has long been heard sincerely, and the ten names have come out of the crowd, their chests are tall, and their eyebrows are about to fly, and they are triumphant.

Beidou Kaede's face collapsed, and he spat in frustration. "I went, fought for half the night, and it turned out to be cheaper." He raised his voice again: "Don't worry, General, I will definitely protect General Zhou." ”

Zhou Yu wanted to persuade again, but seeing Sun Ce's resoluteness, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips. He quickly rushed back to the Chinese army's general platform, beat the war drums, and ordered Huang Chengyan and the soldiers who protected the stone thrower to withdraw, strengthen the Chinese army, and prepare for the final decisive battle with Lou Gui. After the battle in the middle of the night, both sides were tired, and the outcome depended on the last round or two.

Sun Ce took Dian Wei, Lin Feng and more than ten horsemen to rush out of the Chinese army camp and enter Huang Zhong's camp. He stopped between the camps and asked Lin Feng to go to see Huang Zhong. It didn't take long for Huang Zhong to lead the horse, hold the bow, and strode to the meteor.

"General."

"After a tired night, can you still fight?"

"No problem." Huang Zhong left the camp and turned over his horse. "I left Dong Jiyu behind, he will definitely be able to hold the position."

Sun Ce didn't say anything. Dong Yu is Huang Zhong's personal guard Qu Junhou, who has always been deeply appreciated by Huang Zhong, and has accumulated a lot of military exploits in several battles. It is normal for Huang Zhong to take this opportunity to support him on the throne.

The group left the camp and galloped away. Taking this opportunity, Sun Ce told Huang Zhong about the capture of Deng Zhan, and Huang Zhong was surprised, but not surprised. He then told Sun Ce a piece of news. The general opposite him is Wenpin, and in terms of martial arts, he may not be as good as Deng Zhan, but in terms of soldiers, he is much stronger than Deng Zhan.

"Wenpin?" Sun Ce was really surprised. In the history of the Three Kingdoms, there are not many generals in Nanyang who can be mentioned, except for Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, who are probably considered to be hired by the Wen. No wonder Huang Zhong didn't succeed in the middle of the night and failed to achieve a record worth boasting about, it turned out that his opponent was Wen Ping.

"General, Lou's family can only be regarded as a small gateway in Nanyang, Lou Gui is not famous in the township, Wen Ping and Deng Zhan are similar, before Zhang Fujun slaughtered Nanyang, and later the general according to Nanyang, they don't care much about them. This time, these people went out to fight collectively, and it was Lou Gui who commanded the troops, could it have something to do with Cao Cao? ”

Sun Ce didn't say anything, but he was very relieved in his heart. In dealing with the family and the poor family, Huang Zhong obviously has more personal experience than Zhou Yu. He felt the difference between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and reminded him as soon as possible, which can be said to introduce him as a fellow believer and loyal.

"Hansheng, your words are to the point. If you see Cao Cao later, you're welcome, shoot him! Time was pressing, and Sun Ce didn't have time to analyze Cao Cao's thoughts. He assigned the task succinctly. He and Dian Wei took the lead in the attack, Huang Zhong supported from a distance, and Lin Feng and others were responsible for protecting Huang Zhong from the cavalry assault. After the arrangement, Sun Ce turned his head to look around, and said in a deep voice: "Do you understand?" ”

"Whoa!" Huang Zhong and others responded in unison.
