Chapter 694: The Disappearing Sun Quan(1/3)
ps: I want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your suggestions. Now I search for the WeChat public account "qdread" and follow it to give more support to "My father-in-law is called Lu Bu"! Outside the northern gate of Kuaiji, Sun Ce is still in the camp. It was originally a time to rest because he had to attack the city the next day, but now Sun Ce can't sleep. Not only Sun Ce, but others such as Ling Chao have also gotten up. The entire camp can be considered brightly lit.
"Lord, why did we call us late at night?" Ling Chao asked Sun Ce next to him tiredly. Ling Chao was the main force in siege in the past few days. It can be said that the Jiangdong rebels in places where Ling Chao had to pay ten times the price. Ling Chao was able to attack the city wall every time, but he was commanded by Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao and then repelled. Who made him have more cannon fodder in Sun Quan's hands?
"I'm waiting late at night, so I have something to discuss with you." Sun Ce said to the group of war generals under his command. In fact, to be honest, Ling Chao is the one who can be regarded as a general. The others are either unknown or have ordinary martial arts. The real veterans of Jiangdong have not been dispatched, because they were once the old subordinates of Sun Ce's father Sun Jian. If Sun Ce went to war with others, then these veterans would naturally go through fire and water, but Sun Ce was going to war with Sun Quan.
These two brothers, no matter how they are, they are all Sun Jian’s sons. Their brothers are going to fight, so what are you going to get involved in?
So there is only Ling Chao who can be the general. This is why Sun Ce attacked Sun Quan so hard. If Han Dang Huang Gai and others were there, there would be no need to do so. As long as two or three generals rushed forward with their personal guards, they would be nailed to the top of the city wall like nails on the city wall. At that time, Sun Quan would be completely finished.
But the veterans did not follow Sun Ce, and Sun Ce did not make them embarrassed. So they let them be in Jianye.
These days, they have been fighting in a tough battle. Sun Ce has a headache. There is no way to fight this kind of tough battle. It can only be a fight for the number of people. It depends on who can't hold on first. Sun Ce cannot ask for help from Yangzhou. Once he asks for help from Yangzhou, Sun Quan's life may not be able to keep Sun Quan's life, but if he doesn't ask for help, he is probably Sun Ce who can't hold on first. No matter how many Sun Ce has many troops, he cannot be compared with the people of the same city.
It was not until someone sent the news that Sun Ce had some idea, that was the direction of Lu Meng from the South Gate.
"Gaode, right? You explain to them!" Sun Ce said to a scout who was kneeling below.
"Yes, villain Gao De, I have seen all the generals!" Gao De shouted at the generals under Sun Ce with a shy smile.
Looking at Gao De's appearance, Ling Chao subconsciously felt disgusted, because Gao De gave people the feeling of a flattering villain, but no matter how disgusting he was, he still needed to listen to Gao De's words.
"My generals, our general Lu Meng, let the villain come and tell you. Our inner support has been found in the southern gate of Kuaiji. I hope that the generals can hold back the rebellion in the northern gate. No, the second young master's main force, so that our general can attack the city, cooperate with the inside and outside, and take down the city of Kuaiji!" Gao De originally wanted to say that Sun Quan was rebellious, but when he thought that Sun Ce was Sun Quan's brother, he could only change his name.
"Insider?" When the generals who were present at the scene were talking about it, you should know that there is no fortress in the world that cannot be broken, but the one that is best to break is Insider. Because if you attack strongly, if your troops are disparate, otherwise, you will be prepared to suffer heavy casualties. The military book says, "Around it ten times, attack it five times, and divide it by ten times, and you can directly attack the city, and you can see the cruelty of the siege battle.
Now I heard that everyone is happy with the inner support. With the inner support, the city can be broken from the inside. At that time, attacks inside and outside will definitely make Sun Quan's soldiers unable to survive.
Everyone started to discuss how to attack, and there was only one person frowned at the side, and that was Ling Chao.
Ling Chao was very upset when he looked at Gao De. Gao De smiled flatteringly at Ling Chao, making Gao De's face fuck, but Ling Chao still had such sharp eyes.
"Lord, the day when the city of Kuaiji is destroyed is just around the corner! We should send troops to delay the thief army of Zhang Zhao at the north gate so that General Lu Meng can do things cheaply outside the south gate!" A group of Sun Ce's generals had fought enough battles, and several thousand generals were defeated as commanders. This was still good, and some of them were directly out of the city wall. Now, they were naturally happy to have such a pleasing thing.
Sun Ce nodded. He also wanted to make a quick decision. Zhou Yu had already gone to Yangzhou. Sun Ce seemed to have learned about this article and went to Yangzhou to accompany Zhou Yu.
"Slow down!" Just as everyone was discussing delaying the enemy like this, Ling Chao spoke next to him because Ling Chao and Lu Meng were very familiar with him. "My brother Lu Meng, when did I say that there was an inner supporter in Kuaiji City? Why don't I, a brother, know?" Ling Chao didn't believe this Gaode at all.
The other Sun Ce's subordinates were also stunned. Yes, if Lu Meng wants to say who he has the best relationship with, then he will naturally not be able to avoid our General Ling Chao. How could Lu Meng not tell Ling Chao about such a big thing? Now even Ling Chao doesn't know, so there is naturally a problem.
Sun Ce also frowned.
"This person must be the spy sent by Zhang Zhao in Kuaiji City. Can such fake news be spread? Do you want us to ambush Zhang Zhao?" Ling Chao shouted at Gao De with great cleverness.
"Yes, this person may be a spy or a spy. The lord should take this person out for a good interrogation!" The soldiers next to him also looked a little like Ling Chao's words. Think about it, what is the relationship between Ling Chao and Lu Meng? It is basically considered a brother who worships a brother. If there is such a big thing, he may not tell him Ling Chao, but instead let you, a small scout, tell such a big news.
"Unforgive, unjust!" Gao De was almost scared to death. What kind of evil did Gao De do that? First, he was captured by Mr. Lu Su and became a messenger. He was almost pushed out by Lu Meng to chop him up. Now he became General Lu Meng's messenger and was dragged out by the Wu Hou Sun Ce. He was just a little scout.
The few Sun Ce’s personal guards next to him don’t care or not, they just want to come forward to take Gaode. Gaode suddenly got enlightened at such a life-and-death juncture.
"Slow!" Gao De roared loudly. He spoke to Ling Chao over there with righteousness. "I say, General, why do you say that I, Gao De, is a spy of the rebels?"
"Then let you understand something. Just because Lu Meng is my eldest brother, there is nothing that my eldest brother didn't tell me!" Ling Chao sneered at Gao De.
"Just!" Unexpectedly, Gao De laughed instead. "You also know that General Lu Meng is your eldest brother. Even if General Lu Meng is your younger brother, it is impossible to tell you everything, right? Tell you when he will go to the toilet? Tell you when he will go to the room?"
"Haha!" Gao De was also a talented person. Such a quick-witted wiser made the generals of Sun Ce Army laugh. Indeed, even if you are his brother, he can't tell you everything.
"You!" Ling Chao was furious as he heard Gao De's words, "Children, laugh at me for death, I'm looking for death!" Ling Chao said as he was about to step forward and kill Gao De himself. Gao De was not afraid at this time. If Gao De died at the hands of the enemy, then forget it. Unexpectedly, he would be treated like this among the friendly forces.
No matter what kind of person he is, he always has a bottom line. Now Ling Cao is already too bullying.
Gao De was lifted up by Ling Chao with his neck, but Gao De was not afraid at all.
"You are the spy sent by Zhang Zhao. I want me to wait for Zhang Zhao's ambush!" Ling Chao roared.
"Haha, you can still be ambushed in the siege. General Ling Chao, are you afraid of being beaten by Zhang Zhao? Even if you don't attack the city now, you still have to attack the city when it dawns. Could it be that this is ambush? If you don't dare to fight, just say whatever Zhang Zhao said." Gao De and Ling Chao competed against each other.
"Okay, enough!" Sun Ce shouted to Ling Chao below, "Let go, Gao De!"
"Then how do you explain? I don't know why there is such a big news!" Although Ling Chao let go of Gaode, he was still so vigilant about Gaode.
"That's because General Lu Meng didn't know that there was such an introvert before!" Gao De said to Ling Chao.
"My eldest brother doesn't know, how can I believe it?"
"This person is scared you to death when he says it!" Gao De's face showed a smug look. "This person is Mr. Lu Su, the Minister of Personnel in Yangzhou."
"What!" Sun Ce immediately stood up from the main seat. "What are you telling the truth?"
"I need to lie to you?" Gao De took the initiative. Instead, they were about to cut off.
"Then Lu Su Lu Zijing has already returned to Yangzhou?" Sun Ce asked in confusion.
"I don't know this! But when I came, Lu Shangshu had already brought 15,000 rebels into General Lu Meng's ambush circle." Gao De said to Sun Ce.
"Take the rebels into the ambush circle? Ten thousand soldiers and horses?" Sun Ce knew that the guards at the South Gate were only about 30,000 to 40,000. Half of them went out all of a sudden, and it was really possible to succeed.
"Lord, why don't we cooperate. Anyway, this is a fight early and late, and it's just a siege?" someone next to him suggested.
"Yes! Although it's a little darker, it's easier for me to touch the city wall!"
"Lord, no, this must be Zhang Zhao's trick!" Ling Chao was still shouting.
After thinking about it, Sun Ce's eyes were filled with gloomy eyes, and finally made up his mind, "Come on, beat the drums, make rice, and raise an army!"
"Wu Houyingming!" Gao De said happily there.
However, soon the smile on Gaode's face disappeared. "This time we are delaying the enemy troops in the North Gate. Ling Chao, please stay and rest. By the way, General Gaode. If there is any abnormal movement, take action first and then report!" After that, Sun Ce left with his troops under his command, leaving behind a stunned and malicious Ling Chao.
...
The gathering of Sun Ce's main force was still very fast, and it quickly made food and smoke began to grow.
"General, General, look, there is fire in Sun Ce's camp over there!" Although the sky was dark, it made the little bit of smoke more conspicuous.
"Huh?" The city gate captain stared at the flames of the stars over there for a long time. "Are they making meals?"
"At this time?" The city gate captain didn't understand. There were still several hours before dawn. Why are you doing the meal after you finished cooking? Are you waiting? It's time to sleep now. Are they still preparing to withdraw their troops?
"Hurry, go find your lord and military advisor Zhang Zhao!" The city gate captain didn't understand, so he had to go find Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan.
"Master Zhang, what do you want this Sun Ce?" Sun Quan stood by, looking at the starry firelight over there and asked Zhang Zhao next to him. Now Zhang Zhao has become his top strategist, Sun Quan will ask Zhang Zhao if he has anything to do, and his name for Sun Ce has changed from eldest brother to Sun Ce's child.
"I don't know either!" Zhang Zhao shook his head, "Do they want to leave when they cook?" It's impossible, Zhang Zhao rejected it first. If Sun Ce could leave, he would have left long ago. Sun Ce would not be alone in Jiangdong. Instead, he surrendered to the command of Liu Mang, the King of Shu in Yangzhou. Now he has become a subordinate of Liu Mang, the King of Shu. Even if Sun Ce doesn't want to fight, he may force Sun Ce to start the war.
Soon, Sun Cejun under the city told Zhang Zhao and the others what they wanted to do.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!" The war drums rang.
"Are those Sun Cejun crazy? It's not dawn yet. I'm siegeing the city?" Sun Quan didn't understand what his brother was thinking. You are so dark and you are trying to coax. Even if you start a war, you have to wait until the day.
"Night? It's dark for them, and it's the same for us!" Zhang Zhao said to the people under his command.
"The torch was about to fight, and the city gate captain over there was about to prepare for the fight, but Zhang Zhao slapped him in the face.
"Military Advisor Zhang Zhao?" The city gate captain didn't understand.
"You are crazy, you want to be a living target for the torch at night?" If the torch is on the top of the city, it will become the enemy who is secretly and openly, isn't this seeking death?
"What should we do?" The city gate captain also understood that his behavior was wrong and asked Zhang Zhao next to him.
"This Sun Ce wants to use the strategy of exhausted soldiers?" Zhang Zhao looked at the actions of Sun Ce's troops below in confusion. It is not a strategy of exhausted soldiers. You don't sleep at night and you're going to make trouble.
The torches above the city were extinguished, which made the Sun Ce army archers below a little depressed. If it was lit, they could shoot the bows and arrows to the city wall. However, before extinguishing, they also saw it, as if the enemy's chief general had come out.
"My good second brother, and Zhang Zhao are all out?" Sun Ce asked the scout beside him.
"Yes! The second young master and the rebel Zhang Zhao all appeared on the city wall!" The scout responded to Sun Ce.
"Okay. Let the army rest, war drums. war drums stop!" Sun Ce ordered to the people under his command.
"Yes!" Soon the war drum disappeared, and the Sun Ce army also sat on the ground and began to rest.
"It's really a strategy for exhaustion!" said Sun Quan next to him.
"That's so simple?" Zhang Zhao frowned a little. "Liu Song, if you are here, you must tell me what's wrong!"
"Yes!" the city gate captain nodded.
Zhang Zhao and others went back to rest. Liu Song also divided the troops under his command into several waves, watching the rest of the Sun Ce army under the city and exchanged back and forth. In this way, the enemy's tired soldiers' strategy would be useless.
"Prepare to beat the drum and march!" Sun Ce's war drum sounded again. Seeing that the torches were no longer on the top of the city, there was no big noise. Sun Ce's order came again, "Cloud ladder prepares, rush to the city!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" Sun Ce's army fought densely on the walls of the Accounting City.
"Enemy, enemy, they have rushed to the city, they have rushed to the city!" The soldiers who were paying attention to watch Sun Ce's army rushing to the city, immediately reminded their robes. The robes also got up one by one, picked up their weapons, and prepared to fight.
The lieutenant of the city gate there dared not be alone, so he immediately went to hand over to Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan.
Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan came to the city wall again.
"Retreat!" Sun Ce started to striking gold at the soldiers under his command, and Sun Ce, who was like a tide, retreated back again.
After several times of such interaction, as long as Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao did not appear, the army would immediately rush to the city even if it was slandered. However, once Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao appeared, they would immediately push it back.
"What exactly is Sun Ce doing?" Sun Quan was a little angry. He wanted to have a sleep, but now he was unable to rest.
You should talk about the strategy of exhausted soldiers. If he plays with you, he will attack the city directly. If you say he wants to attack the city, but once Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao come, they will immediately push it back, just not letting you, Zhang Zhao and Sun Ce sleep.
This is not a tired soldier, it is just a tired general. The soldiers and horses on the city wall think they are on shifts. They can be alert while sleeping, but Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao are not good enough. They can only come to the city wall again and again.
How good is this for him, Sun Ce? Just a few times, Sun Ce lost hundreds of corpses on the city wall, and they were tired. Also Sun Ce was tired. You, Sun Ce, play like this at night, how do you attack the city during the day the next day?
Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan focused all their attention on this North Gate, and they were considering what Sun Ce was going to do.
