The eyes of Jiangdong soldiers were filled with confusion and expectation, waiting for Sun Ce's decision.
"Warriors of Jiangdong, listen to my Sun Ce's orders!" Sun Ce Hongliang's voice penetrated through the heavy fog and reached everyone's ears. "You follow behind me, and I will definitely take you back to Jiangdong to meet your wives and children. The whole army rushes with me!"
"Go home alive and see your wife and children" is now the common expectation of Jiangdong soldiers. Of course, the target of this expectation comes from Sun Ce. The voice fell. The soldiers looked at the invincible commander in the past and couldn't help but promise.
The 20,000 army rushed eastward like an unstoppable torrent.
The morale of the soldiers has been aroused. For their own convictions, each of them braved boulders and arrow feathers and fought bravely.
Sun Ce held the snatched wooden shield in one hand and the Overlord Spear in the other, leading the way. Picking at the sight of people made Jiang Xiajun terrified.
Sun Cejun's soldiers also showed strong offensive power at this moment. Everyone worked desperately, and if a tiger entered the flock, they broke through a big gap in a blink of an eye. The enemy's main attack on the top of the hill.
Just because the fog is too big. Everyone was just rushing towards the west, and Sun Cejun's generals had been dispersed by Huang Zu's army. However, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were not separated under the protection of Sun Ce's personal guards, but only suffered some injuries.
It was dawn, and in a blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed. The fog of the sky has gradually dispersed.
Sun Ce took a look around and saw that the five thousand guards beside him were no more than one thousand. My heart could not help being filled with grief and anger. The Overlord Spear was suddenly filled with desolate and sad killing intent, and the place where the gun was hit immediately caused a bloody mist. The Jiang Xia army soldiers all around seemed to be in Jiuyou Hell.
Ling Cao on the top of the hill looked at Sun Ce's heroic posture, and said in surprise: "Sun Ce is really brave, no less than the overlord Xiang Yu." Now he shouted: "Sun Cefei is alone. Everyone goes up together, and there is a person who killed Sun Ce. , Bounty one hundred thousand taels."
Under the reward, there must be a brave man, and Ling Caojun lieutenants rushed to Sun Ce.
In just a moment, the stormtrooper led by Sun Ce was surrounded by groups.
Sun Ce himself didn't know how many people he had killed, but he felt that there were fewer and fewer people around him, and more and more soldiers were attacking him.
Suddenly, a pair of fierce and unusual cavalry rushed out of the diagonal thrust, brandishing a broad knife and killing them to Sun Ce's side. This person was Han Dang.
It turned out that after Han Dang was killed by the Ling Cao Army, he led the soldiers of his unit, running around the Ling Cao Army like a headless fly, killing people when he saw them, and slashing everybody. Finally, he accidentally rushed into the cavalry team beside Ling Cao's formation.
Ling Cao originally planned to wait for the fog to clear before using the cavalry's sprint power to end the battle. Unexpectedly, Han Dang rushed into their square formation. Before the cavalry sprinted, the horse was tired. The cavalry was quickly dispersed and the horse was taken away.
Han Dang saw that Ling Caojun had discovered Sun Ce and surrounded him heavily. Then led the temporary cavalry rushed over. He glanced at Sun Ce and yelled: "All the soldiers dismount and leave the horses to Wu Hou's guards. Wu Hou throws away by himself, and I come to the back of the palace." As he said, he ignored Sun Ce's yelling and jumped off the horse. , Led thousands of people in the headquarters, and fought with Ling Caojun.
At this time, the Jiangdong soldiers behind Sun Ce also shouted, "General, you go quickly. General, you go quickly..." A large group of Jiangdong soldiers joined the team behind the palace without hesitation, planning to use their lives to resist Ling Cao's. Army.
Unconsciously, Sun Ce's tiger eyes were a little moist. He glanced at the mad Jiangdong soldiers, fiercely cruel, pulled Zhou Yu and stepped on a better horse together, and ordered to come closer to the south to meet Cheng Pu.
Before Zhou Yu had finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Ce: "What stupid thing to say, go and stay together, stay together." Sun Ce no longer hesitated, and ordered the whole army to retreat to the southern dense forest and plan to evacuate.
Suddenly tens of thousands of Ling Cao soldiers slammed out of the southern dense forest and rushed towards them.
Sun Ce's elite soldiers, each archer and horse is proficient. Because Sun Jiajun is good at water warfare, and the weapon of water warfare is bow and arrow. Therefore, almost all soldiers have a bow and more than ten arrows.
The arrow shot at the enemy like a locust. The opposing cavalry fell down in rows, but before another batch of arrows were replaced, the enemy was almost in the formation. In an instant, there were all enemies ahead.
Sun Ce shouted: "Kill!" He raised the Overlord Spear again and took the lead to rush to kill.
For a time, near the dense forest, there were shouts of killing.
Sun Ce led about two hundred soldiers, knowing that only by rushing out of the ambush can there be a way to survive. Putting everything aside, even cut dozens of enemies. Rushed deep into the enemy formation.
Sun Ce rushed to disperse a wave of enemies, and he was about to leave the encirclement. Suddenly, the forest in front of him suddenly crackled, and the flames rose, robbing Sun Cejun's southward retreat.
At this time, an enemy general led a brigade and appeared in front of Sun Ce again. The man shouted: "Sun Ce, you have run out of oil, and you are not hurrying to dismount and accept the surrender."
Sun Ce glanced around again. I saw that the guards beside him had been reduced to less than a hundred people. I was stunned. The sharp gaze swept the enemy and said coldly: "There is only Sun Ce who died in battle, and Sun Ce who did not surrender. The children of Jiangdong, rush with me. ."
Sun Ce suddenly shouted. Desperately stab a shot, the tip of the gun is domineering and horizontal, and I don't know whether it is because Sun Ce's gun is fast or the domineering shock stuns everyone. When the spear pierced the enemy's chest. Not to mention the soldiers around, even he himself did not react.
With a sound of "Tong", he fell under the horse. Staring, never staring.
The enemy soldiers suffered misfortune because of the master's general, and were shocked by Sun Ce's martial arts, and they suddenly became chaotic. Sun Ce felt that the opportunity was indispensable, and led the troops rushing wildly and escaped the siege. Sun Ce led the remnants to escape to a small hill, condescending to gather the remnants.
Sun Ce counted the men and horses, and there were more than 10,000 men left, and half of the soldiers and horses were lost.
Zhou Yu carefully observed the situation on the battlefield and said to Sun Ce: "Lord, the enemy forces have gradually withdrawn into the city after seeing our army defeated. However, they relaxed their vigilance, and there was no formation at all. Instead, they wandered in twos and threes. Go back. If we kill it now, they will definitely defeat it. We can take advantage of the chaos and slam into Jiangxia City and take Jiangxia in one fell swoop."
"Okay! What a god-given Gongjin to me!"
Sun Ce jumped up happily. He was just distressed about the failure. Now it is possible to reverse the decline in one fell swoop.
Sun Ce shouted and led the army back to kill.
Jiang Xiajun didn't expect that Sun Ce would come by this hand, but he was surprised to be attacked behind his back, and he was shocked. They collapsed, shouting and fleeing into Jiangxia City.
Sun Cejun marched into the city and attacked Jiangxia in one fell swoop. Huang Zu was on the wall at this time, watching Sun Ce lead the army into the city, not angry.
Huang Zu ordered the soldiers to shoot at the leader.
"Swish swish..." Dozens of feather arrows shot at Sun Ce, and several of them hit Sun Ce. One shot in the eye and four shots on the back.
Sun Ce fell in response, and Zhou Yu hurriedly shouted: "Protect the lord!"
Dozens of soldiers shielded Sun Ce with shields.
The soldiers of Soochow were angry, and they killed the enemy one after another. Huang Gai led a team to kill the city, and Huang Zu was slashed to death by him.
Soochow soldiers occupied Jiangxia, but they paid a heavy price. Zhou Yu stayed with Cheng Pu to defend Jiang Xia and escorted Sun Ce back to Jianye overnight.
Sun Ce knew that his fate was not long before, and he also knew that his son was only one year old, and it was impossible to ascend to the throne in troubled times. So, he recruited the ministers and explained the funeral one by one.
Sun Ce first recruited Zhou Yu, the head of civil servants, Zhang Zhaohe and generals. He said: "My son Sun Shao is only one year old and cannot inherit my position. The Lord of Jiangdong should let my younger brother Sun Quan inherit. You have to assist Sun Quan. Under Yuzhang County, unify Jiangdong. With the land of eight counties, millions of people, and the risk of three rivers, no matter how you manage it, you will eventually have the strength to contend for the world. You must help my brother."
After Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao heard this, they knelt down and cried and said, "The ministers will definitely do their best to assist the second son."
Then, Sun Ce ordered people to recruit Sun Quan. Seeing that Sun Quan was coming, Sun Ce struggled to get up with the help of the guards, and put the seal on Sun Quan himself, and said with earnest words: "Lead the Jiangdong soldiers and fight against the world between the two battles. You are not as good as me; but I am not as good as you to protect Jiangdong. I hope I can make use of my strengths and make up for my shortcomings, so that my father and brother's career will grow and develop."
The decision made by Sun Ce surprised Jiangdong's civil and military personnel. They think that Sun Yi, the son of San Gong, has the style of his elder brother, Sun Ce, and hope that Sun Ce will hand over the military power to his third younger brother, Sun Yi, but unexpectedly, Sun Ce let his second younger brother Sun Quan inherit. Everyone thinks that Sun Quan is not good at using troops, and they are worried that Sun Quan will lead them across the Central Plains in the future to fight for supremacy in the world.
However, the important ministers Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu believed that Sun Quan was competent. They believed that Sun Quan was decisive, bold, and good at judging the situation and doing things foresight. What's more valuable is that Sun Quan can tolerate things and keep them secret. These are all factors that can achieve great cause.
That night, Sun Ce took a mirror to look at himself, and said to the left and right: "With his face like this, can I still make contributions?" He rose up and screamed. The wounds opened and he died that night. According to Sun Ce's last wish, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu assisted Sun Quan to inherit the seat of Jiangdong Lord, and show their legitimacy in the Han Dynasty.
Although Jiangdong’s civil and military officials were surprised by this decision, Zhang Zhao, the chief of civil servants, and Zhou Yu, the chief of military commanders, all supported Sun Quan. No one had any objections. Sun Quan quickly secured his position as the lord of Jiangdong by virtue of his own skills. .
Too many things have happened in the past few months, first Liu Biao died suddenly. Then, Xiaobawang took Jiang Xia and killed Huang Zu, but within a few days the news of Sun Ce's death also came out.
Facing such information, Liu Xun of Xiangyang keenly felt that Cao Cao would definitely move. Liu Xun suggested to Liu Bei that, on the one hand, additional spies should be sent to investigate information; on the other hand, the army should be prepared for war to deal with changes in the situation.
Faced with the changes in the situation in Jiangdong and Jingzhou, will Cao Cao of Xudu have any actions
