Chapter 1090 Interception
Sun Ce's breakthrough was indeed in the plan of Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.
Their purpose is to destroy their vitality.
Guo Jia deliberately didn't close the gaps, and when Sun Ce and the others broke through, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici attacked from the other two directions.
Stopping more than 30,000 of them at once, Sun Ce didn't have many soldiers. If he continued to be eaten up slowly like this, it would be a disastrous thing for him.
Sun Ce broke through with all his strength and killed him.
But Huang Zhong and Tai Shici led troops to attack, and the heavy cavalry directly pierced through the enemy's camp.
"General Huang, the military division has an order to pursue Sun Ce immediately."
Huang Zhong killed once, and before he could turn back and kill again, the order had already come down.
An order is an order, and he cannot be disobeyed.
Huang Zhong immediately went with his soldiers and horses.
The battle situation here is clear, more than 30,000 troops were besieged and killed, and only 20,000 soldiers and horses remained.
More than 20,000 people were besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops, so it goes without saying.
Guo Jia did not order the army to attack, but surrounded them, and then continuously mobilized troops to pursue Sun Ce.
There are more than 20,000 people who can't escape. Guo Jia believes that they will surrender soon.
But when they made an emergency landing, they encountered a little trouble. These troops have been refusing to surrender.
For this reason, Guo Jia had no choice but to kill him.
Guo Jia ordered the archer team to prepare, mobilize more than 20,000 archers, and attack them for several rounds under the protection of sword and shield soldiers.
The rain of arrows all over the sky gave people great fear.
At the same time, there was enormous psychological pressure on them. Facing the constant collapse of their comrades-in-arms and the wounded soldiers rolling on the ground waiting to die, their morale collapsed.
"These remnants are quite tough. It seems that Sun Ce has a way of governing the army." After they surrendered, Guo Jia said.
Originally there were more than 21,000 troops,
But after some massacres, there are now more than 7,000 troops left, and two-thirds of them died directly.
However, they eventually surrendered.
The matter here has been settled, and Guo Jia has occupied Jiangxiakou.
After taking over, Guo Jia didn't go after Sun Ce himself. He believed that Xi Zhi could solve the problem where there was Xi Zhi.
"In the future, this will be one of our bases. Occupying this place, our troops and supplies can be continuously transported by ships, which will have a huge impact on the entire battle situation."
Guo Jia said to his subordinates, let them immediately strengthen the defense of Jiangxiakou.
"Take control of all the people in Jiangxiakou, and transport them all back when the ships arrive." Guo Jia ordered again.
When the ship returned, it was empty, and Guo Jia cleaned it up and used it as a strategic fulcrum.
Here, Jiangxiakou, as a city by the Yangtze River, is very important for attacking Jingzhou and other places in the future, or controlling large areas around it.
Speaking of Sun Ce, he rushed out with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Fast forward all the way, but he knew that there was still a Xi Zhicai ahead.
Xi Zhicai was already getting ready halfway.
His army had set up their defenses and was waiting for Sun Ce to kill him.
"Everything is well prepared, on the other side, Zhou Yu may sneak attack."
Zhou Yu was indeed prepared, and he had brought an army to meet Sun Ce.
Sun Ce ran wildly for a long time, and gradually approached Xi Zhicai.
He also knew that Xi Zhi had an ambush.
"Attention the whole army, kill them together, and don't entangle them for too long." After approaching, Sun Ce ordered.
Xi Zhicai did not establish any fixed location here, because he was not sure where Sun Ce was going to pass before, so there was no fixed location.
Sun Ce mobilized his own elite soldiers, and he still had several superior generals.
"kill."
Sun Ce charged forward like a pack of wolves with his soldiers and horses on his back.
Sun Ce is a fierce tiger, and the army he leads is a pack of wolves.
The army was coming fiercely, but Xi Zhicai only had 30,000 of them.
Xi Zhicai was in the middle of the army, watching the opponent coldly.
"Two quick attacks, get out of the way immediately."
Xi Zhicai gave the order, and naturally there were soldiers waving their banners to order.
"kill..."
The sound of killing was approaching, and Sun Ce arrived.
"Let the arrows go."
The general commanding ahead ordered an attack.
The archers who are ready shoot arrows together, and the arrows are like a rainstorm.
Sun Ce and the others did not dare to stay, and went up against the rain of arrows.
Just after one round, the second round was killed.
After two rounds of arrow rain, Sun Ce and the others came to him.
"What~"
Sun Ce and the others were startled, and the enemy was defeated with one blow, and they easily killed them.
When Sun Ce and the others arrived, Datang's soldiers and horses split open from the middle and let them pass.
Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed over like this.
That violent punch seemed to hit the cotton, which made Sun Ce extremely depressed.
But the battlefield is changeable, he has no time to think about it, let's go through it first.
At least, their information is accurate. Xi Zhicai and the others only deployed 30,000 soldiers and horses here, and there are no extra soldiers and horses.
At this time, Zhou Yu also brought 50,000 soldiers to meet Sun Ce, and they were deployed five miles away from here.
"Stop their rear army." Xi Zhicai ordered again.
For the former army, Xi Zhicai attacked with two rounds of arrow rain, and then let them rush over.
But the rear army, Xi Zhi is not going to let it go.
They have several plans, the best plan is that 30,000 soldiers can stop them for a period of time, so that the pursuers behind can catch up.
But Xi Zhi knew that it was impossible to stop Sun Ce and then used another plan.
Suddenly, the armies on both sides rushed out and intercepted their rear.
There were not many rear troops who stopped them this time, only more than 17,000 people.
Sun Ce and the others rushed out and discovered the situation.
"My lord, do you want to go back to rescue, there are not many enemy troops?" Jiang Qin asked.
Sun Ce hesitated this time. It was normal not to rescue them at Jiangxiakou before. They faced an enemy with more troops than them, but here, there was only Xi Zhicai's 30,000 troops.
"Go back and rescue."
Sun Ce knew that he could not keep leaving his army behind, otherwise it would chill the hearts of the soldiers.
"Shield defense, full defense."
Xi Zhicai ordered a change of formation and let the army defend.
Sun Ce led a fierce attack, but Xi Zhicai and the others were already prepared.
The shield array plus the archers, although the loss was not small, they still blocked the attack from the two sides.
Most of Sun Ce and the others were infantry, and Huang Zhong and his cavalry had already caught up.
Sun Ce had just attacked for two rounds, and Huang Zhong was there.
When Huang Zhong arrived, the other reinforcements were not far behind.
"My lord, don't fight anymore, otherwise we will be in danger."
Helpless, Zhou Tai went to persuade Sun Ce to retreat.
Sun Ce reluctantly ordered the withdrawal of troops.
They withdrew their troops, and there were thousands of soldiers left in the intercepted army, and they had no choice but to surrender in the end.
"Han Sheng, you should pursue immediately, but there must be an ambush ahead, so be careful, other troops will follow immediately."
Xi Zhi knew that there must be an ambush ahead, but even so, he still wanted to fight, knowing that there was an ambush, he still wanted to pursue it.
"Okay, even if there is an ambush, I can hold them back."
Huang Zhong has tens of thousands of people, and his combat power is strong. He has no problem holding back the ambushing people. He has this confidence.
