Chapter 48 Decisive Battle of the Little Overlord (1)(1/2)

(PS: Everything is going wrong, there is a traffic jam and the chapter needs to be reviewed. This chapter will be reposted. If there are any duplicates, they will be deleted later.)

The days are short in late autumn, and the sky is already dark at the first watch. After the second watch, it is already the dead of night, and everything is silent. It is also a good time when the wind is high and the moon is dark, and people are killed. It has been closed for a long time.

The west gate of Guangling was suddenly opened gently, and the suspension bridge was lowered quietly. Then, one by one, the fully armed defenders, like ghosts, sneaked out of the city, taking advantage of the night.

They took cover and gradually assembled into a team outside the west gate of Guangling.

After I don’t know how many troops came out, the city gate was closed again and the suspension bridge was re-hung. The soldiers who had left the city exchanged orders in a low voice, and quietly lined up with their coats in their arms, their horses wearing harnesses and their hooves wrapped around them.

At Sun Ce's army camp five miles away, occasionally the light from a torch on the city wall shines through, and one can barely see that this group of soldiers is carrying a large flag with black characters on a white background. There are only two words on the flag - Gentleman! Very good.

Obviously, this army is the legendary army of benevolence and righteousness, the army of morals - the Army of Gentlemen!

The gloomy night helped the Junzi Army a lot. There was no moonlight to expose the troops. The Junzi Army reached the entrance of Sun Cejun's camp. Only then was he noticed by Sun Cejun's patrol soldiers. The patrolling enemy hurriedly knocked on the gong to alarm the room. The Junzi Army was well prepared.

A surprise attack had been launched, and a wave of arrows shot down the sentry of Sun Ce's army above the village gate. Another group of warriors rushed to the gate of the village and hacked open the gate. The gate was wide open, and the Junzi Army was already shouting.

With the charge slogan of "eating without getting tired of fine food and eating fine food without getting tired of fine food", swarms of swarms rushed into Sun Ce's army camp.

"You never tire of fine food! Never tire of delicate food! Kill! Kill!" Shouting an absolutely perverted military slogan, the Junzi Army set fire to the enemy all the way and rushed straight to the central camp of Sun Ce's army hung with white curtains. However, the Junzi Army was in high spirits.

When he rushed to the door of the Chinese army's tent, he was stunned to find that the Chinese army's tent in Nuo Da was actually empty. There was not a single enemy soldier. The leader of the Junzi Army was Tao Ji, Nian Bin or someone else.

He screamed like a slaughtered pig, "Master said! We've been tricked! Get out quickly! Confucius said: Get out quickly!"

"Kill!" New shouts sounded from all directions, and when the torches were lit, countless Sun Cejun soldiers rushed out of the darkness like ghosts, led by a general, who was the bravest and most capable fighter in Sun Cejun's team.

Huang Gai, the veteran general, waved his iron whip and laughed loudly: "Little Tao Ying! You have fallen into my young general's trap! Quickly dismount and surrender, I will spare your life!"

"You've been caught in a trap! Get out, get out!" Deputy Director Tao of the Junzi Army screamed like a pig, shouting, "Get out! Get out! Ming Jin! Ming Jin!"

"You've been tricked! Run! Run!" In fact, there was no need for Deputy Director Tao to waste his words and order a retreat. The despicable villains of the Gentleman Army who never liked hard-fought battles had already turned around and spread their wings.

The legs run for their lives along the way they came.

"Kill! Avenge General Han!" Huang Gai and other Sun Cejun soldiers were not willing to miss this God-given opportunity to beat the drowned dog. They mobilized the sergeants together, surrounded the despicable villains of the Gentleman Army on the left and the right, and rushed and hacked desperately, fearing

The hypocrites were unable to withstand the close combat, but they were killed by Sun Ce's army until they cried like ghosts and howled like wolves, and scurried away with their heads in their arms. They just ran for their lives in the direction they came. Sun Ce's soldiers followed closely and vowed to annihilate all these hypocrites.

"Kill!" The hypocrites finally escaped to the gate of Dazhai. The gate of the camp that was empty just now suddenly burst into flames. Two more groups of Sun Ce troops came out from the left and right. The damn hypocrites were surrounded by enemies and could not resist.

Only a few people gathered around the banner of the Junzi Army and charged forward. Sun Ce's soldiers surrounded them on all sides, killing the defeated soldiers of the Junzi Army while trying their best to compress the encirclement space, not giving Tao Ying, the biggest hypocrite, a chance to escape.

At the same time, on the high ground on the right side of Sun Ce's army camp, Sun Ce, who looked pale and seemed much older, was sitting on a four-wheeled cart, coldly observing the battlefield at the camp gate. To Sun Ce's left and right, there was a

Zhou Yu, whose arms were hanging on his chest, and Sun Jianjun's former officers Zhu Zhi and Zhu Junli, who had just escaped from Shouchun last night - just as Fu Ying said to Tao Ying, in order to report to Sun Ce that Yuan Shu sent troops and Lu

The news of Fan's arrest and Zhu Zhi's abandonment of his wife and children in Shouchun made Sun Ce understand the truth about Yuan Shu's sudden call to return his troops, and also let Sun Ce know the bad news that Ji Ling's 30,000-strong army was marching eastward.

.

After patiently observing the battlefield for a long time, Sun Ce saw that his army had a solid chance of winning, and that the surrounded enemy army was in danger of escaping. Sun Ce was not overly happy, and asked Zhou Yu next to him: "Gong Jin, in your opinion, the gentleman surrounded by us is a big man."

Are the people under the flag really the Tao Ying children? Are the people surrounded by us now the real army of gentlemen?"

"It's impossible to judge." Zhou Yu answered simply, "Although Tao Ying's son doesn't like close combat, and the Junzi Army's close combat capabilities may be weak, the enemies surrounded by us feel too weak and too easy to collapse.

, so I still dare not tell whether Tao Ying's son really fell into the trap, or whether the Tao Ying surrounded by us is someone else pretending to be."

"Despicable villain, you are indeed extremely treacherous!" Sun Ce cursed and snorted: "It doesn't matter whether it is true or false. If it is true, there must be troops in Guangling City coming out to support them. If it is false, an ambush will happen."

Killing Tao Ying's one or two thousand men can also boost the morale of our army."

Zhou Yu nodded slowly, but Zhu Zhi next to him pointed in the distance and shouted happily: "Major General, look, there are enemies coming from Guangling City again!"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked up and saw torches surging in the middle of the night. Sure enough, another army was coming to meet them. Seeing this, their faces were as pale as the dead. Sun Ce finally showed some joy and said, "Okay! No matter what.

Is it Tao Ying who is surrounded by us? This time we can finally hit the enemy hard in the field! Gong Jin, send a signal for Cheng Pu’s third team to ambush and launch a full-scale attack. Be sure to hit the enemy hard and kill more enemies.

The better!”

Zhou Yu agreed and ordered the signalmen next to him to use torches to signal, and at the same time beat the war drums for the general attack. Cheng Pu, who was ambushing outside Youzhai, also responded and led his army to attack the newly arrived Xuzhou army in a roundabout way.

The shouts of killing and slogans quickly echoed in the firelight under the night, "Kill! Capture the little Tao Ying alive! Keep the little Tao Ying alive! Avenge General Han—!"

"Kill!" At the same time, on the Yingmen battlefield, people were discovered from behind. Sun Ce's army, which surrounded the hypocrite army, quickly divided into two groups. One group continued to encircle and block the hypocrites, not giving the hypocrites a chance to escape. The other group turned around and headed towards

Dong, aggressively attacked the reinforcements of the enemy, and arrogant slogans also sounded in front of the formation, "Brothers, kill! Let the dog thieves in Xuzhou see the majesty of our Huainan soldiers!"

"Oh my God! What is that?!" The arrogant slogans suddenly stopped, replaced by incredible screams. It turned out that the Sun Cejun team rushed closer and suddenly saw someone they had never seen before.

It is a strange scene. Hundreds of Xuzhou Army soldiers resisted bamboo spears and formed five neatly planned horizontal lines. The bamboo spears in the first row were ten and a half feet long, and the bamboo spears in the second row were two feet long. The spear shafts were directly

Placed on the shoulders of the soldiers in the first row, the bamboo spears in the third row are also two feet long and point diagonally towards the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. The bamboo spears in the fourth and fifth rows are even more than two and a half feet long.

, pointing straight to the sky, forming a huge spear array, hundreds of people are like a huge hedgehog, giving people the feeling of a tiger gnawing on a hedgehog with nowhere to bite.

"How to use such a long spear?" Countless veterans of Sun Ce's army have had this question. Although they are inch longer and stronger, are these bamboo spears too long? How to block and fight in battle?

The questions of the veterans of Sun Ce's army were quickly answered. A general behind the spear formation waved a torch and gave the order. The hundreds of bamboo spearmen immediately recited in unison, "The Master said: Isn't it a pleasure to learn from time to time? There are friends from far away.

Isn’t it a pleasure to come here? Isn’t it a gentleman if a person doesn’t feel embarrassed if he doesn’t know?”

Neatly reciting the iconic slogan representing the Gentleman Army, the huge bamboo spear array moved. Five rows of bamboo spearmen took a step forward while chanting a word, maintaining an amazingly neat formation, and rushed straight towards the enemy on the opposite side.

, as long as the soldiers of Sun Ce's army who were blocking the bamboo spear formation could not dodge, they would immediately find themselves facing the thrusts of five or six bamboo spears at the same time. They were in a hurry. They could block one bamboo spear but not the second one. In the blink of an eye, they could not block the second one.

Suddenly he was stabbed by a bamboo spear, and then more bamboo spears came in, stabbing the unlucky Sun Cejun soldier until he was bleeding all over his body. He screamed and fell on the battlefield. The Sun Cejun general riding a war horse even more

Tragically, the war horse was first stabbed by bamboo spears, and then the war horse stood or knelt down. More bamboo spears were stabbed at him, and blood spurted out of holes in him, both man and horse, and he was killed on the battlefield together with him and his horse.

It's not that Sun Ce's army wanted to attack the back and two wings of the bamboo spear formation, but as soon as they took action, they immediately discovered that the two wings and back of the bamboo spear formation were protected by heavy troops, and their combat effectiveness was quite strong. Sun Ce rushed towards them in a chaotic manner.

The soldiers were just looking for death. Even if they survived, they would still be entangled and unable to touch a hair of the bamboo spear array. The bamboo spear array fought and advanced, slowly and unshakably towards the surrounded Xuzhou soldiers.

Any soldiers and generals of Sun Ce's army who dared to stand in front of the spear formation would be instantly stabbed with numerous bloody holes by bamboo spears, which frightened Sun Ce's soldiers in the rear and caused them to scream and run away left and right.

The bamboo spear formation soon encountered the encirclement of Sun Ce's army. The generals and soldiers of Sun Ce's army who were ambushing the Xuzhou army during the encirclement and suppression were caught off guard. They were stabbed by the bamboo spears thrust from the rear. They were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. The soldiers of the Xuzhou army who were surrounded

Then the morale was greatly boosted, and they rushed towards the direction of the reinforcements with all their strength. Unconsciously, they formed the hammer-and-anvil tactics used at the peak of the Macedonian phalanx - using the bamboo spear formation as an anvil and the breakout Xuzhou army as a hammer, frantically hammering at the enemy.

The soldiers of Sun Ce's army in the middle. The poor soldiers of Sun Ce's army were attacked front and back. In front were the Xuzhou cavalry running for their lives with red eyes, and behind were hedgehog-like bamboo spear formations. Caught in the middle, they were unable to advance or retreat. They were looking for death if they went forward or backward.

Unable to hold on any longer, these Sun Ce army soldiers could only retreat to the left and right, and the surrounded Xuzhou army was able to escape, merge with the reinforcements, and break out towards Guangling.

Seeing such a scene from a high place, and hearing the extremely neat and orderly sound of perverts saying poems, Sun Ce quickly made a wrong judgment and ordered: "Send the order, pursue and encircle with all your strength, and we must annihilate Tao Ying's son."

On the wild battlefield! As long as we take the head of Tao Ying, Guangling City will be ours!"

The order was conveyed, and Sun Ce's army began an all-out pursuit. Cheng Pu also detoured back to the front of the Xuzhou army, blocking the Xuzhou army's return route. The Xuzhou army also made adjustments, relying on the cover of friendly forces, and the clumsy bamboo spear formations raised their spear points.

Xiangtian, adjusted his front and rear positions, turned the bamboo spear array around, and then the cavalry team continued to cover the two wings and back of the bamboo spear array, used the bamboo spear array to open the way, and rushed towards the way to break through.

On the battlefield, Sun Ce's army surrounded the condensed Xuzhou army and killed them wildly. However, in order to survive, the second-rate soldiers in the Xuzhou army also unleashed 120% of their combat power and started a life-and-death fight with Sun Ce's army.

On the battlefield, torches are surging, the sound of killing is loud, swords and guns are flying, flesh and blood are flying, and it is not uncommon to see people hugging each other, wrestling, crawling, and dying together. Although Sun Cejun has been in battle for a long time and has rich experience, his individual combat effectiveness has certain advantages.

It was difficult to disperse this group of Xuzhou troops in a short period of time and then completely annihilate them.

There are many reasons why the second- and third-rate soldiers in the Xuzhou army have persisted until now. The close proximity of the escape destination, Guangling City, is certainly one reason. The reason for trusting the propaganda of generals such as Tao Ying and Zhang Jie is also another reason. They are afraid that Sun Ce's army will massacre the prisoners. But in the end,

The key reason was the bamboo spear formation that appeared in Xuzhou's army. It was the first time they encountered this strange spear formation in the darkness. Even the elite soldiers of Sun Ce's army led by Cheng Pu could not stop the advancement of this bamboo spear formation.

The Bamboo Spear Formation was defeated steadily and suffered heavy casualties, but it could not stop the Xuzhou army from retreating. It also allowed the Xuzhou army to retreat slowly but firmly towards the safety of Guangling City. It saw hope of survival, but was afraid of being captured and massacred. Xuzhou

Naturally, the soldiers would not give up easily. They gathered in a group and retreated slowly, making it impossible for Sun Ce's army to annihilate this group of Xuzhou Army in his eagerness.

After charging for a while, when the Xuzhou army was less than a mile and a half away from the west gate of Guangling, Sun Ce, who was furious, ignored Zhou Yu's objections, once again led his army to the battlefield in person, and personally directed the encirclement and suppression campaign, determined not to give up to the army that was finally surrounded.

When the Xuzhou army had the slightest chance to escape, Zhou Yu was worried and had to follow him to avoid another mishap for Sun Ce, who was still seriously injured.

When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu arrived at the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield was still the same. Sun Ce's army, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, pursued and intercepted them, but could not stop the Xuzhou army's retreat. Generals such as Huang Gai and Cheng Pu also led their troops to charge many times.

, they could not break up the Xuzhou army who had gathered together, and could only watch helplessly as the Xuzhou army approached the city gate step by step. Seeing this, Sun Ce was furious and quickly ordered to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, send the troops immediately

A group of infantry went to ambush by the moat. As soon as they saw the suspension bridge lowered, they immediately set fire to the bridge. This group of enemies must not be allowed to escape, they must be annihilated in the wild!"

Zhou Yu followed the order and quickly arranged for the troops to go to the moat to burn the bridge first. However, what surprised these Sun Cejun soldiers was that the Guangling defenders, who had always planned every plan, made a big mistake - they did not pull up the suspension bridge!

These Sun Cejun soldiers did not hesitate. First they quickly cut off the slings, then chopped with knives and axes, and then set fire to them. They tried their best to destroy the suspension bridge across the river. When the Guangling defenders discovered something was wrong in the dark and fired arrows to stop it, it was already too late. On the suspension bridge

A huge fire has been ignited.

The news of the successful attack on the suspension bridge reached Sun Ce. Sun Ce burst out laughing and barked an order: "Assemble the archery team to reinforce Cheng Pu and cover Tao Ying's bamboo spear array with bows and arrows! Then order the soldiers to charge with all their strength, and Tao Ying must be killed."

This band of children is broken up and annihilated!"

………………

At the same time, in the north gate of Guangling, the officers and soldiers of the True Gentleman Army, which had fewer than 750 people, stood in awe with their horses, waiting for Tao Ying's order to attack. Tao Yingze and Lu Su whispered in front of the Gentleman Army, and faced the west

The shouts of killing fell on deaf ears. It wasn't until Zhang Jie sent someone to report that the Xuzhou Army led by Xu Sheng and Zhang Xuan were less than a mile away from the West Gate Moat, and that the West Gate Suspension Bridge had been set on fire by Sun Ce's army, Tao Ying ended his war with Lu.

He murmured solemnly in a low voice and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the bridge was burned. Sun Ce has a big appetite. He actually wanted to eat nearly half of my Guangling army in one bite."

After laughing, Tao Ying gave instructions to the messenger sent by Zhang Lie: "Tell General Zhang Lie that after I leave the city, Guangling will be handed over to him! Please remember, General Zhang, before confirming that Sun Ce's camp was burned down by me.

, Do not release the flying bridge out of the city to kill the enemy! Also, after Zhang Xuan and Xu Sheng retreated to the moat, they used the return cannon to throw fire bombs and stone bombs to relieve the pressure on the two generals Zhang and Xu, and by the way, Sun Ce's child

a surprise."

"No!" The messenger took the order and left. Tao Ying nuzzled at Lu Su again. Lu Su understood, waved his hand and shouted: "Come up!"

Fu Ying, who had pretended to surrender before the soldiers came, knelt down in front of Tao Ying and took out the ball of cloth from Fu Ying's mouth under Tao Ying's order. As soon as Fu Ying's mouth was free, he immediately cursed Tao Ying.
