Chapter 1091: Zhou Yu's Strategy
Huang Zhong led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in pursuit. After Sun Ce rushed out, he didn't dare to look back and left quickly.
Datang's army followed closely behind.
After a while, several cavalry rushed over, sent by Zhou Yu.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to guide Your Majesty under the orders of the Governor of Zhou," said the cavalryman who came.
Sun Ce was overjoyed and said happily, "Lead the way ahead."
Zhou Yu has an arrangement ahead, in order to prevent Sun Ce and others from accidentally breaking into his ambush without knowing the situation.
Under the guidance of several people, Sun Ce passed quickly, and then prepared to rest two miles away.
Huang Zhong didn't catch up because he stopped to adjust.
"Twenty thousand people are in front, ten thousand of them are armed with knives, and ten thousand are armed with bows and arrows. Once they encounter an ambush, quickly shoot the arrows and then defend."
"The rest, follow this general."
There must be an ambush ahead, Huang Zhong couldn't possibly rush over without preparation.
Huang Zhong's troops continued to advance.
Zhou Yu ambushed 50,000 people.
The 20,000 soldiers and horses in front were not sprinting, but advancing at a slightly faster speed than the infantry.
After a while, Huang Zhong's troops entered Zhou Yu's ambush circle.
"Datang's army is not so easy to ambush."
Zhou Yu knew that the enemy was ready when he saw that the enemy had only 20,000 troops.
But Zhou Yu had expected this situation a long time ago.
He immediately ordered that some soldiers and horses attack.
A soldier and horse came out from each side, and then Sun Ce rectified the soldiers and horses, and came back to fight again.
Huang Zhong's troops were immediately besieged.
"Let the arrows go."
They had already received Huang Zhong's instruction, so they were well prepared, and the soldiers with bows and arrows began to attack.
Attacked for three rounds in a row,
Sun Ce's soldiers and horses came close.
Besieged on three sides, the enemy forces are ambushing again.
They suffered relatively large losses, but the three rounds of arrows also made Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses less powerful.
The 20,000 soldiers and horses inside also dealt with it carefully, forming a circular formation.
But when Sun Ce personally led the general to kill them, they immediately suffered huge losses.
"Huang Hansheng is here, you are surrounded."
After a while, Huang Zhong brought people to kill him.
Huang Zhong shouted to boost the morale of the surrounded soldiers.
However, Zhou Yu had already made arrangements. He did not invest all his soldiers and horses, and left 20,000 soldiers and horses.
The remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses rushed out to stop Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses.
In the dark night, the two sides began to fight.
Huang Zhong has been breaking through here, personally leading the soldiers to charge.
Several times in a row, they were all blocked by Zhou Yu and failed to break through.
In front, Sun Ce charged four times in a row with his men, and finally broke through the defense of the Tang army and rushed in.
When the camp was broken, the defense was not that strong, so they fought with Sun Ce's soldiers and horses.
In the melee, Datang's soldiers and horses were at a disadvantage and resisted with difficulty.
Huang Zhong was very anxious and attacked several times in a row, but Zhou Yu's arrangement was proper and he failed.
"Organize troops and horses to prepare to retreat. When we are ready, let His Majesty lead the people to retreat immediately."
After killing more than half of the people, Zhou Yu asked several guards to prepare separately.
Although Zhou Yu and the others have an advantage, there is still a lot of support behind Datang, so Zhou Yu dare not delay here for too long.
Zhou Yu made careful arrangements, and after the arrangements were made, Sun Ce led his men to retreat first, and then lay in ambush in front.
After that, Zhou Yu led the people to retreat.
Huang Zhong didn't dare to pursue rashly, so he organized his men first.
The 20,000 people who were surrounded in front lost more than 9,000 people in just over half an hour.
These are the elite of Datang, and everyone feels sorry for losing so much.
After a while, Xi Zhi brought people over.
"Don't chase after me, this time I was ambushed, and I didn't take advantage of it at all."
This time, although Sun Ce's army lost a little more, it was not much, but Huang Zhong's army was the best of the best, and they still suffered a loss.
Huang Zhong was very unwilling. He originally wanted to inflict a heavy blow on them, but ended up suffering some losses himself.
"General Huang, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's generation are already jumping over the wall in a hurry, and will do anything at all. At this time, we still have to be steady." Xi Zhicai said.
Huang Zhong nodded with a dark face. Although he was not reconciled, he also put the overall situation first.
Xi Zhicai returned to Jiangxiakou with Huang Zhong and others.
The army gathered at Jiangxiakou, and they were not in a hurry to advance.
To kill the past, Yiying's supplies must keep up. Now they occupy Jiangxiakou and hoard supplies.
Two days later, Zhang Liao also arrived, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered at Jiangxiakou, and Guo Jia and others began to plot Chibi.
Chibi is just a water fortress, so it's okay to defend against the other side, but Datang's soldiers and horses are all on the south bank, and they have no way to defend against it.
Inside the Chibi Water Village, Sun Ce was discussing matters with several generals and Zhou Yu.
"With the loss of Jiangxiakou, most of the navy has been wiped out. I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them," Sun Ce said.
This couldn't be stopped, the tone settled down, and the monarch and ministers were sad and very helpless.
If there is no good way, Zhang Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops have already pressed up, and with the waterway to transport food and grass, the army can even directly kill the city of Changsha.
Zhou Yu said: "Your Majesty, we have to keep retreating and hold back the Tang army. If there is an opportunity to ambush, we will ambush. If not, we will retreat all the way to Changsha, use that fortification to block Zhang Yu, and then let Cai Hao and Cao Cao, Attack from behind."
Sun Ce's face changed, and it was back to the situation a long time ago. Will Cai Hao and Cao Cao help?
No matter what the situation is, it is very difficult.
If you help, the three parties don't really believe in it. If you don't help, then Sun Ce is definitely not an opponent. When the time comes to deal with Sun Ce, it's time to deal with them.
"Just do your best," Sun Ce said.
The hearts of the generals felt cold for a while, Sun Ce was no longer sure of victory, and even his momentum had weakened.
But the reality is here.
Zhang Yu's tendency to rule the world has been formed.
Zhou Yu saw that everyone's mood was not high, so he said: "We are in Changsha, we are well prepared, we have a lot of soldiers and horses, and we can eat food and grass for several years. Zhang Yu's army is out, so accidents are more prone to accidents. And we don't need to have direct contact with Cai Mao and Cao Cao. , they can attack Zhang Yu's rear by themselves."
Zhou Yu's words played a certain role, and everyone recovered some morale.
This time, Sun Ce lost a large number of soldiers and horses, and they gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Chibi.
After deciding on a strategy, they start preparing.
Zhou Yu deployed his soldiers and horses, intending to block them along the way.
"Your Majesty, if we are like this, we may be able to stop them for a year or so. If we stick to Changsha City for a year or two, Zhang Yu will also be dragged down." Zhou Yu said.
In fact, I don't really believe Zhou Yu's words. It's too difficult, but he has to do this to give everyone confidence.
"Okay, Gongjin, try to arrange it as best as possible. I will give Cao Cao a divorce letter and let him attack Zhang Yu's rear."
Sun Ce returned to his true colors as a little overlord, and ordered.
