The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 403 Hunting and Siege

Just as Lin Chao guessed, Sun Jian led his army all the way to the southeast.

After a scuffle in front of the camp gate, Sun Jian lost the general Zu Mao, and he was very sad.

But Er Yuan said, who is Zu Mao?

do I know?

I only know Sun Jian and Chuan Guo Yuxi!
Therefore, Er Yuan didn't even have time to rectify, so he hurriedly sent a large army to pursue.

Because of Zu Mao's death, Sun Jian was deeply saddened, and with the fact that he still had [-] troops in his hands, he might not have the power to fight.Furthermore, most of the troops sent by Eryuan were cavalry, while Sun Jian's men were all infantry, and if things went on like this, they would not be able to get away.

Therefore, Sun Jian decided to drive and drive, and fight Er Yuan dignifiedly.

If you win this battle, you can retreat calmly.

If it fails... Anyway, the situation will not be worse than it is now.

Under the support of Cheng Pu, a seasoned and prudent soldier, Sun Jian led all the troops under his command to confront Er Yuan head-on at the front pavilion twenty miles south of Luoyang.

It's just that the result of this battle was beyond everyone's expectations.

No matter whether they are soldiers, generals, weapons or equipment, Er Yuan is much stronger than Sun, but in the end he is completely defeated!
The reason is that Sun Jian's army has always been ordered and prohibited, and the soldiers under his command are willing to die.

But on Eryuan's side, although the soldiers under the various generals were not weak, they became a mob when put together.

Because there was no unified command and dispatch, or no one could coordinate and dispatch Er Yuan's army, it led to this fiasco.

Er Yuan originally regarded them as enemies, and at this time they were only temporarily cooperating for the sake of Yuxi, not to mention orders and prohibitions, even the most basic cooperation was difficult to achieve.

Sun Jian saw this opportunity precisely, mobilized elite soldiers under his command, and defeated Er Yuan's army one by one.

After a small victory, Sun Jian's life will be difficult in the future.

With this defeat, the two Yuan learned from the painful experience and decided to temporarily abandon the previous suspicions and maintain the superficial cooperation. After all, everything was for Yuxi.

But even if Eryuan only became superficial brothers once, the combined strength is not comparable to that of Sun Jian.

There were several more battles. Although Sun Jian was not defeated, he also did not win. Both sides suffered heavy losses.

Er Yuan naturally could afford to lose, but Sun Jian couldn't afford to lose.He has only [-] soldiers under his command, and if he fights one less, he naturally cannot continue to fight head-on with Er Yuan.

But Er Yuan kept chasing after Sun Jian's ass, like two wild dogs biting a fleshy bone, which caused Sun Jian quite a headache, so he had to fight and retreat.

The battle lasted for several days, and the battlefield moved from outside Luoyang City all the way to the border between Nanyang County and Yingchuan County, a place called Liang County.

After entering the city, Sun Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief, planning to take a rest first and boost morale at the same time.Otherwise, according to this style of play, the soldiers under his command would not be able to leave Yuzhou, so they should flee on a large scale.

Sun Jian ordered Cheng Pu to count the casualties of his soldiers, but as soon as Cheng Pu left, Sun Ce came back with bad news.

"Father, the army has run out of food!"

Hearing this, Sun Jian's eyes widened immediately, and even the pupils in his eyes also enlarged.

Right now the battle is so bad, Er Yuan's army is not far behind, if they run out of food and grass, then there will be no chance of survival.

In desperation, Sun Jian grabbed Sun Ce by the neck and shouted loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about? When you left Luoyang, the army still had a month's worth of food and grass. It's only been a few days now. How could there be no food!"

Being grabbed by his father forcefully, it immediately affected Sun Ce's wound caused by the tragic battle a few days ago, and he gritted his teeth in pain, but he still replied: "Father, we will fight and retreat this way, and the pursuers are chasing after us." Urgent, as a last resort, most of the soldiers abandoned their luggage and left, so they ran out of food!"

Hearing this, Sun Jian was furious, but there was nothing he could do.He knew what his son said was the truth, and it was also the best solution out of desperation at that time.

But there is no food in the belly, so how can we fight the next battle!
After a long time, Sun Jian let out a long sigh, and finally let go of Sun Ce.

"Father, what should we do now?" Sun Ce asked.

Hearing this troublesome question, Sun Jian closed his eyes in pain and frowned.

The army is out of food, what can I do!
No matter how powerful you are, it is impossible to conjure food out of thin air!
The father and son were in a dilemma when Han Dang suddenly ran over, with an anxious look on his face, and said loudly: "General, the enemy army has begun to attack the city!"

Hearing this, Sun Jian immediately shouted: "How could it be so fast!"

According to estimates, Eryuan's army could reach the city at least at sunset, and even if they attacked the city, it would be tomorrow.But why did it come so fast? It shouldn't be!
Han Dang shook his head, with a bitter expression on his face, he clasped his fists and said, "I don't know the last general, but the enemy army has indeed arrived!"

"Take someone to see quickly!"

The fact is so, Sun Jian couldn't help but not believe it, so he had no choice but to go up to the tower to see what happened.

Under the city, the leaders are Ma Teng and Cao Cao.

In this pursuit battle, the two Yuans sent the two of them as the vanguard, and it was precisely because they were chasing after him all the way that Sun Jian would have no way to go to heaven and nowhere to go down to earth.

Liang County is only a small county, and because it is quite close to Luoyang, the city wall is only three feet high, and it has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has long been dilapidated.Inside the city wall, even the female wall was not built, so the city defense should not be too simple.

At this moment, seeing Sun Jian appearing from the top of the tower, Ma Teng, who was below the castle, immediately burst out laughing.

In fact, after these few days of fighting, Ma Teng was quite tired, his face was still dirty, and his battle armor was also damaged. All signs indicated that his journey was not easy.

But compared with Sun Jian, that's much better.

After Ma Teng laughed, he shouted towards the tower: "Sun Wentai, now that you are trapped in the isolated city, do you still have to make a fearless resistance? The general has an order to hand over the Chuan Guoxie and let you go! A seal You have to think carefully about which is more important than the lives of tens of thousands of people under your command!"

The city defense of Liang County is indeed simple, but Sun Jian is not incompetent.And no matter how low the city wall was, it was still a city wall. As long as Sun Jian defended the city, it would definitely be difficult to break through within ten days and a half.

No matter who Yuxi falls into in the end, it is impossible for him to get Ma Teng's turn.That being the case, Ma Teng didn't want to fight Sun Jian desperately.

After all, Yuxi is someone else, and the soldiers under his command are his own!
Anyway, Er Yuan only wanted Yuxi, and as long as Sun Jian was acquainted and handed over Yuxi, his mission would be considered accomplished.

After Ma Teng finished speaking, Cao Cao on the side immediately echoed: "Sun Wentai, you are at the end of the road, do you still want to hold on to the Chuan Guoxie? Secretly hiding such a sacred object, not to mention how rebellious you are, are you not afraid? Life discount!"

On the city wall, Sun Jian was unmoved in the face of the verbal attacks of the two.

Just now when Han Dang said that the enemy army had arrived, Sun Jian was shocked, but now that he really saw the army outside the city, Sun Jian became calm instead.

"Ask someone to hand over the Chuan Guoxi?" Sun Jian sneered, "This matter is actually easy to handle. A certain Chuan Guoxi can hand it over, but you two have only one Chuan Guoxi. How do you distribute it?"

Hearing this, Ma Teng immediately replied: "Of course it is handed over to XX! A XX has been ordered by the general to take back the Chuan Guoxie and hand it over to the emperor!"

Cao Cao was not angry either, but just sneered and said, "Sun Wentai, the Imperial Seal is the property of the emperor, who dares to distribute it lightly. Even a three-year-old child can't hide your clumsy divorce plan, and you dare to show it in front of someone. Really ridiculous!"

Sun Jian was just talking casually, and he was not disappointed when he saw that the two were not fooled.

"The Chuan Guoxie is here, come and take it if you have something!" Sun Jian swung his knife and said sharply, "I'm afraid you won't be able to take the Chuan Guoxie away, but you will lose your life in vain because of it, and the world will definitely laugh at you!"

After all, Sun Jian swung the sword in his hand, and the crossbowmen who had been prepared on the city wall were not polite. They immediately set up their bows and shot arrows. The targets were Cao Cao and Ma Teng who were under the city.

It's a pity that the two of them had been prepared for a long time, and they had been standing at a safe distance to answer the question. Naturally, this rain of arrows failed to work.

When the rain of arrows stopped at the entrance of the city, Ma Teng immediately ordered to attack the city.

A fierce battle is inevitable.

……

Liang County is twenty miles away.

Zhang Fei took Zhang Xiu and Xu Huang and was looking for a place to set up camp.

For Zhang Fei, the chase for these few days was actually easy and freehand, because he didn't make a move at all from the beginning to the end, but just followed behind Sun Jian and Er Yuan's army.

Of course, Er Yuan was aware of Zhang Fei's existence, but Zhang Fei, a vanguard force with a total of only two thousand people, naturally did not get Er Yuan's attention.

However, the eight thousand elite cavalry led by Zhao Yun followed Zhang Fei for about ten miles and did not show up.

Even if Zhang Sanye was a reckless person through the ages, he was not confident that 2000 people could kill Sun Jian, let alone Er Yuan's [-] army behind him.

Before leaving, Lin Chao made it clear that as long as Sun Jian died, it didn't matter how he died or at whose hands he died.

Therefore, Zhang Fei planned to set up camp on the spot and wait and see for a while.Anyway, Sun Jian still had [-] to [-] troops defending the city, so he was not defeated so quickly.

Just when the soldiers had just set up the camp, suddenly a scout came to report that Eryuan's army had begun to attack the city.

As soon as Zhang Fei heard about the start of the war, Zhang Fei became interested immediately, and said excitedly, "Gong Ming, you stay here, and Bo Yuan and I will go and find out first!"

Although we don't plan to do anything now, we still have to watch the battle between the two sides.Zhang Fei has been through battle for a long time, so he can naturally judge the situation of both the enemy and us from the siege formation.

But Xu Huang objected, and he cupped his fists at Zhang Fei and said, "General Zhang, in the opinion of the last general, it's better not to go at this time."

Zhang Fei laughed loudly and said, "Why, is it possible that Gong Ming is afraid of you?"

"The last general is naturally not afraid. It's just that it's not the right time to go to watch the battle today." Xu Huang explained, "Er Yuan's army also surrounded Liang County today, and it is the first time to attack the city. If the general goes rashly, it is inevitable It caused Eryuan's fear, so it's better not to watch it at this time!"

Zhang Fei led the crowd to chase him this time, and his every move represented Liu Bei. If he did not act properly, it would inevitably arouse Er Yuan's jealousy, especially at this juncture.

"No problem, no problem, Gongming, you are too cautious." Zhang Fei smiled, "A certain one is just watching from a distance, it will not get close, let alone let Er Yuan know. How far the war has reached, we will always You can’t keep your eyes dark, you don’t know anything.”

"This... what General Zhang said is true. If you really want to go, you can only wait and see from a distance, and you can't get close."

With a cautious attitude, the honest man Xu Huang persuaded Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei repeatedly waved his hands and laughed, "Understood, I understand, Gong Ming is at ease. Bo Yuan, go with XX!"

"only!"

Zhang Xiu agreed simply, and followed Zhang Fei directly.The two brought only dozens of soldiers and headed towards Liang County all the way.
