Zhang Yan had been appointing scouts to secretly monitor Sun Cejun's every move, and he was overjoyed when he learned that Zu Lang and Jiao had all surrendered to Sun Ce.

In Moling City, since Zhang Yan personally killed Zhang Ying and Chen Heng, the whole army was shaken, and the entire army did not dare to cheat anymore, and they were all strict with themselves, and they did not dare to have the slightest thunder pool.

Zhang Yan conducted ten days of intensive training, and the soldiers of Liu Xuanjun were miserable, but they unconsciously increased their physical strength.

On the eleventh day, Zhang Yan ordered all the soldiers to unload the twenty pounds of things they were carrying, and then run a marathon.

As a result, this marathon was to everyone's surprise, and the soldiers lightened their loads, ran like a gust of wind, and significantly increased their speed by a notch.

It was only at this moment that these soldiers understood the true purpose of this training, and that the results of such training were remarkable.

In the following three days, Zhang Yan did not conduct any more intensive training, but let the soldiers rest and recuperate.

On the other hand, Zhang Yan suggested that Liu Miao take the initiative to attack, and this time, he was ready to do his best to drive Sun Ce away.

Liu Miao immediately asked Xue Li to allocate grain, grass, and military salaries, and took out all the siege equipment in the arsenal to actively prepare for war.

Three days later, Zhang Yan and Liu Miao personally led a large army to attack Sun Ce. This is also the first time Liu Miao took the initiative to attack, and Liu Xuan, who was in a happy mood, seemed to have seen the dawn of victory.

This time, the troops were mainly sent by Liu Xuanjun, supplemented by Zhang Yanjun, and there were no generals available under Liu Xuan's account, so Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin under Zhang Yan's account could only be used as temporary commanders. Each commanded 10,000 soldiers and horses. Mighty to Danyang City.

Zhang Yan led Tai Shici, Zhang Hong, and the elite of his subordinates to follow closely behind Liu Xuanjun.

Just in case. Zhang Yan suggested that Liu Miao leave Xue Li and 8,000 soldiers to guard the city.

When the army attacked, Sun Cejun's scouts informed Sun Ce of the matter as soon as possible.

Sun Ce hurriedly gathered the generals to discuss, and Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Chen Wu, Dong Xi and others suggested taking the initiative to attack and meet the combined forces of Liu Xuan and Zhang Yan.

However, Zhou Yu believed that at this time, the combined forces of Liu Miao and Zhang Yan were in full swing, and it was not appropriate to take the initiative to attack. Instead, it is advisable to defend and then attack.

On one side is the main battle, and on the other hand, Sun Ce couldn't make up his mind, so he said to his best friend Lu Fan: "Ziheng, what is your opinion?" ”

Lu Fan said: "You can try to attack first, set up an ambush in the middle of the road in advance, if you don't win, it's not too late to defend the city!" ”

After Sun Ce heard this, he immediately ordered: "Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, the six of you will go to battle with me." And the rest of them held fast to the city, and there was no mistake. Everything in the city was handed over to Zhou Yu to deal with. ”

After the order was issued, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Chen Wu, and Dong Xi clasped their fists in unison and said, "Oh! ”

And Zhou Yu, Lu Fan, Sun Jing, Sun He, Zhu Zhi and others also responded together: "Oh! ”

The discussion was decided, and Sun Ce took Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, and two thousand elites out of Danyang City.

Sun Ce led the soldiers to the outside of the city, and sent people to the camp where Zu Lang and Jiao had been, and asked Zu Lang and Jiao Ji to lead all the soldiers and horses and follow him to ambush the combined forces of Liu Miao and Zhang Yan.

Zu Lang and Jiao Ji were overjoyed when they were summoned, because the time they had been waiting for had finally arrived, and this time was the moment to annihilate Sun Ce together with the combined forces of Zhang Yan and Liu Xuan.

So, Zu Lang and Jiao Ji immediately led all the soldiers and horses and followed Sun Ce and others to ambush.

Sun Ce led his soldiers and horses to set up an ambush ten miles away from Danyang City, and this road was the only way from Moling City to Danyang City.

On the left side of the road is a wide river with a large field of reeds that hides tens of thousands of soldiers. On the right side of the road is a tall ridge, on which there are rows of dense trees, although the fallen leaves have all fallen at this time, as long as the soldiers lie there quietly, they can hide tens of thousands of soldiers.

When Sun Ce arrived here, he let Cheng Pu, Sun Ben, Chen Wu, and Zu Lang lie in ambush in the reeds, and he himself and Han Dang, Huang Gai, Dong Xi, and Jiao Ji lay in ambush in the dense forest on the ridge, condescending.

At noon, Sun Ce and the others were still quietly ambushed here, but the person they were waiting for did not arrive. After about half an hour, Sun Ce's scouts returned and informed them that Liu Miao and Zhang Yan's army had arrived, less than five miles away.

As a result, Sun Ce and the others began to gear up, but they didn't notice at all that countless pairs of vicious eyes were staring closely at his back.

About a stick of incense passed, Zhou Tai led Liu Xuan's army to enter the ambush circle first, Sun Ce was calm and did not immediately order an attack, but waited until Zhou Tai was almost over before ordering an attack.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With Sun Ce's roar, the soldiers who had already been ambushed on both sides of the road jumped up one after another, pulled the bowstring in their hands, and shot the arrows in their hands.

However, strange things happened, there should have been a spectacular scene of ten thousand arrows firing at once, but there were only more than a thousand arrows shot out, not only that, but Sun Ce's army even let out a scream, close at hand, deafening.

Sun Ce was taken aback and hurriedly looked back, but saw that Jiao didn't know when he had run behind him and was directing the thieves to shoot arrows at them.

Coincidentally, there was also a riot in the reeds on the opposite side, and in just a moment, Sun Cejun had already killed half of them, and the rest were all in a hurry.

Zu Lang and Jiao Ji's rebellion was neither early nor late, but at this time, Sun Ceden had a feeling of being deceived.

The thieves who had surrendered suddenly rebelled, Sun Ce's army suffered heavy losses, and at the same time, Liu Xianjun, who was in the middle of the road, also began to attack both sides of the road.

It is also strange to say that the ability of the thieves at this moment to fight has improved by leaps and bounds, and they are completely different from the two of them when Sun Ce subdued them before.

"Escort Lord go first!" Huang Gai held a double whip, and while hitting the thief soldiers, he shouted loudly at Han Dang and Dong Xian.

Han Dang and Dong Xi did not hesitate, the two of them guarded Sun Ce, led the soldiers, and rushed out to kill.

Sun Ce held a spear and vented all his resentment, and when he saw that Jiao had already commanded the soldiers to surround this place, he was so angry that he immediately raised his spear and threw it at Jiao Ji.

Jiao had seen the spear shoot at him, and hurriedly dodged to the side, but the spear did not lose its strength, but it shot a thief.

At this time, Sun Ce took out the ancient ingot knife and slashed violently, just trying to kill a bloody way.

However, the enemy killed more and more, and the soldiers around him became fewer and fewer.

At this critical moment, Zhou Yu, Sun He, and Zhu Zhi drove their troops to kill, and killed directly from behind Jiao Ji, thousands of soldiers and horses were rampant, and the thieves could not resist, Sun Ce's army was like a bamboo, and they killed Sun Ce directly, rescued Sun Ce, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Dong Xi and others, and fled to Danyang City in a hurry.

Cheng Pu, Sun Ben, and Chen Wu on the opposite side fought their way out of the encirclement, came to the river together, threw themselves into the river, and were washed away by the turbulent river.

Zhou Yu rescued Sun Ce, leaving Sun He to lead the pursuers against Jiao Ji, while the rest followed Sun Ce back to Danyang City.

Sun Ce asked, "Gong Jin, you really came in time, otherwise, I would have died here." By the way, you're not defending in the city, how did you get here? ”

Zhou Yu said: "I've always been worried that Zu Lang and Jiao Ji are not really taking refuge, so I have been leading the soldiers and horses to follow behind the lord, just in case." Today, Zu Lang and Jiao have really rebelled! ”

"Gong Jin, I regret that I shouldn't have listened to you, I am so embarrassed today!" Sun Ce said with remorse.

Zhou Yu said: "Things have passed, now we should return to Danyang City as soon as possible, rely on the city, and maybe we can hold on!" ”

Everyone rushed to Danyang City non-stop, Sun He defended the thieves for a while, and also retreated on his own, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others joined forces and came to pursue Sun Ce.

Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others came to the city of Danyang, so they asked people to call the door under the city, who knows, the city wall suddenly shot a rain of arrows, Zhang Yan put on the armor, appeared on the city tower, and shouted to Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others outside the city: "Danyang City has been captured by me, acquaintances, you surrender quickly, I can save you from dying." ”

"There are pursuers in the back, and there are obstacles in front, where should our army go?" Sun Ce's hateful teeth itched, and he said to himself.

Zhou Yu said: "Go to Stone City." There are more than 1,000 soldiers and horses of our army in Shicheng, and the army still has a foothold. ”

Sun Ce, together with Zhou Yu and others, led the remnants of the army and quickly went to Shicheng.

Zhang Yan, Liu Xuan, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others all drove their troops to chase after them, covering up and killing all the way, and Sun Cejun's army suffered heavy losses.

Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Dong Xi, Sun He, Zhu Zhi and others rushed all the way, and met Sun Jing and Lü Fan on the way, and the two armies merged into one and continued to flee in the direction of Shicheng.

But Zhang Yan, Liu Xuan, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others were also in a hurry, and in desperation, Sun Ce had no choice but to let Sun He lead a thousand people to resist the pursuers.

Sun He and Sun Ce are cousins, a little older Sun Ce is a few years old, when Sun Jian was alive, he followed Sun Jian, often pioneered for Sun Jian, brave and good at fighting. After Sun Jian's death, Sun He facilitated Sun Ce to join Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was jealous of Sun Ce, so he promoted Sun He to general, and wanted Sun He to lead Sun Jian's old department, but Sun He refused.

When Sun Ce led the army to the south, Sun He was still in Ji Ling's army in Yuzhou, and after hearing about this, he bribed the people around Ji Ling, cheated his death and fled, and after twists and turns, he came to Sun Ce's side. Sun Ce was also very happy to learn of Sun He's arrival, and immediately let Sun He lead a personal army, which shows his great love for him.

Sun He got Sun Ce's order, so he stayed, letting Sun Ce and the others go first, and he was responsible for leading the army to resist the pursuers.

After Sun Ce left, Sun He arranged his troops, ambushed both sides of the road, and ambushed the pursuers, but after all, it was a outnumbered attack, and Zuihou was surrounded by the pursuers, and struggled to break out of the encirclement and fled elsewhere. (To be continued......)
