Overlord!

Chapter 161 Zhang Fei may not be able to go back
The next day, the bright sunlight shone into the tent, and Miyun's long eyelashes were reflected in the morning light, which was beautiful and charming.

When Sun Ce opened his eyes and saw this scene, his blood surged immediately, and he took Miyun into his arms.

Miyun opened her hazy eyes, her long eyelashes flickering, full of beauty, and what is more beautiful is her thrilling magnificence and white dazzling.

Seeing the scorching light in Sun Ce's eyes, Mi Yun's face immediately turned red. She, who had just experienced human affairs, was shocked last night, as if she had opened the door to a new world.

When Ru was in the clouds last night, her mind was blank, and she would do whatever Sun Lang said.

But when I think about it now, I feel a little ashamed.

And Sun Lang's hand was restless on her body again, she pressed it quickly and said, "Sun Lang, the sun is shining brightly, what is Sun Lang going to do?"

Sun Ce leaned down with a smile, and said with a smile in her ear, "Do things where the sun can't shine, but I can."

Mi Yun looked at Sun Ce blankly at first, not wanting to understand, but quickly realized, buried her head on Sun Ce's shoulder, and dared not say a word.

"Sun Lang, why are you so bad!"

"Hahaha, do you like it?"

Like it?
The joy here is not enough for outsiders...

After Sun Ce practiced for an hour in the morning, he stretched his body and began to formally tour the camp.

In the early morning, the scouts had already spread out and began to investigate the situation on the battlefield. When Sun Ce came out, the first batch of scouts returned and began to report the situation on the battlefield one after another.

After summarizing the information, Lu Su personally followed Sun Ce and reported: "General, after Lu Bu was defeated yesterday, he has retreated more than ten li to the north, but his camp has not approached Xiapi."

In the battle last night, although Lu Bu was defeated slightly, the whole army of Lu Bu must still be unhappy.

In the south boat and the north horse, the northern army lost the water battle, which was expected by everyone.

Besides, in yesterday's battle, even though ships and cavalry were mobilized, there were only a few hundred people fighting on the battlefield, and the outcome was not enough to affect the battle situation or morale.

Sun Ce smiled calmly and said, "Lü Bu's army has not approached Xiapi, which means that he still wants to cross the Huaihe River and enter Lingshui. He still has the heart of anger and the desire to fight hard."

Lu Su nodded, and said, "Lu Bu also ruled the world. He has been arrogant all his life, so he is not afraid of a battle. If he can defeat the enemy in the wild and break the deadlock, he must have the heart to win."

Sun Ce said with a smile: "Then this is exactly what we are looking for. We also have the idea of ​​defeating the enemy in a battle. It depends on the battle on the battlefield, who can win the roost!"

Before Lu Su could answer, Zhang Fei hurried over from afar, and said in a anxious tone: "General Sun, Dongyang urgently reports. My lord sent someone to send a message that Yuan Shu has been repaired, and sent General Ji Ling to lead an army of [-] to attack. Dongyang. My lord is confronting it and resisting its eastward advance."

The smiles on the faces of Sun Ce and Lu Su suddenly subsided, and the situation became serious!

A major feature of the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty was that it changed rapidly, and it was possible to attack and defend different situations in just a few months.

Especially in the land of Xuzhou, the attacks on each other are too frequent.

Ji Ling led an army of [-] to attack Liu Bei. This may affect the entire Guangling and even the entire Xuzhou pattern.

Yuan Shu has always looked down on Liu Bei. He calls himself Uncle Xuzhou, but Xuzhou regards Liu Bei as the master. He has held back his anger from the very beginning and has always wanted to eradicate Liu Bei completely.

An important reason for the conflict between Yuan Shu and Liu Bei is that Yuan Shu disdains Liu Bei's reputation.Yuan Shu could form an alliance with the mighty Lu Bu, but he never considered forming an alliance with Liu Bei.

In addition to reputation, Dongyang, where Liu Bei is located, has indeed blocked Yuan Shu's way to attack Xuzhou.

There are two ways for the Huainan army to enter Xuzhou, or go down the Huaihe River and attack Guangling.

Either go north freely and attack Xiapi.

Now it seems that Yuan Shu still wants to win Guangling first, just like in history.

But it may also be because he did not dare to offend Lu Bu.

To march directly into Peidi is to attack Lu Bu's forces.Now Yuan Shu only wants to use military victory to establish his prestige, and then pave the way to become emperor.

Apparently he didn't want to take any chances either.Among the current three princes in Xuzhou, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei, it is obvious that Lu Bu is not easy to mess with, and Liu Bei is the soft persimmon.

Although there are 3 troops in Liu Bei's state, it is almost the same as Sun Ce's army.

But the scale is the same, and there is a huge difference in combat power!

Xuzhou was slaughtered by Cao Cao once, and Liu Bei could rely on Xiapi and Guangling counties before.

The wealth it can provide is far less than the five counties in Jiangdong, especially Wu County, the land of fish and rice and the land of abundance.

Therefore, with the blessing of minting rights, the [-] elite soldiers recruited by Sun Ce were all selected elite soldiers who were strong, well-equipped, and well-trained, even if Jiangdong was regarded as a frontier.These [-] elites are real. The [-] elite frontier troops of the Han court are not weaker than the three-sided elites in Xiliang, Bingzhou, Youzhou and other places.

The [-] soldiers recruited by Liu Bei were far inferior to Jiangdong in terms of treatment.Sufficient food and salaries have too much impact on a professional army.Soldiers in Xuzhou, taking into account what they receive, are not enough to cover their expenses. If they have wives and children, how can they be safe from cold and hunger?In this case, their morale must not be as high as that of Jiangdong, and their will to fight is far from being on the same level.

As a result, although Liu Bei has tens of thousands of people, he may not be able to stop Lu Bu's all-out attack.

It is also unknown whether Liu Bei can block the attack of Yuan Shu's [-]-strong Ji Ling army.

Now there is no Lu Bu to support him, to shoot a halberd for him at the gate, and retreat Ji Ling's army.

Sun Ce must quickly resolve the Huaipu battlefield, temporarily repel Lu Bu, and then go to aid Liu Bei.

Once Liu Bei is defeated, the Jiangdong army will have to face Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's attack from the west and north.

Don't look down on Yuan Shu, he is really one of the strongest princes in the world.

During the Yanzhou Rebellion, Guo Gong, the official governor of Yuzhou appointed by the imperial court, led tens of thousands of troops to Juancheng. It was Xun Yu who disregarded everyone's obstruction and went out of the city to meet Guo Gong, and persuaded Guo Gong's army to retreat.

In the land of Yanzhou, Cao Cao was able to compete with Lu Bu with all his strength.

But the war between Cao and Lu was not over yet, Yuan Shu had already defeated the tens of thousands of troops under Guo Gong's command, and marched into the Yingchuan and Runan areas, becoming the strongest prince in the world, with an army of [-] under his command.

It can be said that in Yuan Shu's eyes, Liu Bei is the same as Guo Gong.

Of course, this is true only from the record of the two confronting each other.Although there were victories and losses in the early stage, Guan Yu even gained the reputation of being the enemy of thousands of people.However, only two months into the confrontation, Yuan Shu used his tactics to lure his assistants into the battle, easily defeating Liu Bei's [-] troops. Liu Bei, the governor of Xuzhou, was no better than Guo Gong, the governor of Yuzhou.

After all, the strongest princes are all-round advantages in military power, wealth, and prestige, not just the short-term victory or defeat on the battlefield.

Sun Ce really didn't dare to say whether Liu Bei, who is now defeated, has recovered his military spirit and whether he can stop Yuan Shu's offensive.

If he couldn't stop it, it would be difficult for Sun Ce to fight against Yuan Shu's [-] army with thousands of people.

So after thinking for a while, Sun Ce immediately said: "At this time, it's time for all the armies to fight and win by conquering the battle, opening the situation for Jiangdong! Immediately march to the north of the river, join forces with Lu Bu, and defeat the enemy!"

To fight together, the first choice is naturally the battlefield.

Lu Su introduced to Sun Ce: "The scouts have already investigated the situation in the north of the Yangtze River. The Huaipu area is flat and the water network is scarce, which is where the cavalry can be used. There are relatively few battlefields to choose from. The best choice for cavalry is the Huaipu area, where the Huaihe River and Lingshui River meet. Such a large army can rely on the Huaihe River in the south and Lingshui River in the west, making it impossible for the enemy's cavalry to move freely."

The Jianghuai Plain is the most extensive plain area in the Central Plains. As the precipitation in Huaibei decreases, the water network is no longer as dense as that in Huainan. It is simply the best place for cavalry.

It is indeed not a wise choice for the Jiangnan army and the Central Plains army to fight here.If there is no way to defeat the enemy, facing the northern army with the advantages of cavalry, it will inevitably lose more than win.

But this is what Sun Ce wanted!
Jiang Dong could see all of this.Naturally, the countless Lv Bu forces under his command can also be seen.

If they want to defeat the Jiangdong army, they must use the advantages of cavalry!
And this is the opportunity for Sun Ce to defeat Lu Bu's army!
So Sun Ce solemnly ordered: "Zhang Yide, you are the vanguard in this battle, lead your troops to the shore to set up a position, line up the chariots, may you be competent?"

Zhang Feihu stared, and immediately cupped his hands heavily, and said: "I will swear to the death to guard the river bank, and will not retreat half a step! There is Zhang Yide who died in battle, and there is no one who retreats half a step! Our soldiers, under their own self, dare to retreat half a step I will immediately kill them in front of the formation!"

This time the vanguard landed, the ships mainly transported chariots, and the number of soldiers who could land may only be a few hundred.

But Zhang Fei has no fear at all, he must stand in front of the battle, fight against the water, and never retreat half a step!

Sun Ce was very serious, and said: "This landing is a matter of victory or defeat. There is no joke in the army! If you can't hold the battle line and block the enemy's cavalry, don't blame the lonely army for being ruthless!"

Zhang Fei was furious, very brave, and his voice was terrified: "General Sun, if I lose victory, I will die! If I can't hit the sword immediately, I will break the front for General Sun and pull down the flag! I will kill myself in front of the battle, and I will never disgrace the general." the blade!"

"Yes! Then Yide will lead the army as the vanguard, board the ship immediately, and prepare to attack Huaibei."

At this time Jiang Qin shouted anxiously: "General! General! Is it inappropriate to entrust Xuzhou generals with such an important task related to the Northern Expedition? Our Jiangdong army, with its victorious victories, was all broken in the hands of Xuzhou soldiers. In such an urgent battle, why not use our Jiangdong elite soldiers instead of Xuzhou's underdogs?"

Jiang Qin's worry naturally has its reasons.Jiangdong at this time is not the weak Jiangnan of later generations.The people of Wu and Yue inherited the survivors of the Warring States Period, and many of them were strong and powerful Zhang Zhimin. They were good at martial arts and had noble strength.Therefore, the Danyang soldiers are the elite soldiers of this era, just like the Youzhou Tuqi who ruled the world during the reign of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

And Jiangdong's elite, selected from Jiangdong's fierce youth and rigorously trained, is the top team in the world.Therefore, a hundred battles are victorious and invincible.

Not only Jiang Qin, but the entire Jiangdong army looked down on the combat power of Xuzhou soldiers.At such a critical moment, it is natural to feel more at ease on one's own side!

Zhang Fei was furious when he heard the words: "Zhuzi, how dare you lighten me?"

Sun Ce also yelled loudly, and shocked the two people who were facing each other: "Shut up! The battle is imminent, and you don't want to work together to defeat a powerful enemy, but fight in battle. Are you really alone?"

"Choosing Yide as the vanguard is a solitary decision. I have the will to win against Yide alone! Since you, Jiang Qin, want to send troops to help in the battle, you should choose a team of elite soldiers to go into battle, and Yide will be the commander!" In order to prevent the frontline from fighting for power, Sun Ce said solemnly and resolutely: "Sun Ning is in command of the armored soldiers! Execute immediately! Anyone who questions the military order and acts recklessly will be punished immediately!"

The biggest reliance on the victory of this battle was Sun Ce's arrangement of the Queyue formation, which was prohibited by the entire army, and he resolutely and resolutely obeyed the command of the general.

Therefore, Sun Ce is directly imposing a strict ban, and does not need anyone to make any suggestions. Even if Sun Ce's military order may not be correct at this time, all soldiers must obey immediately, and they must resolutely march to the past with mountains of swords and fire ahead!
Sun Ce's prestige in the army is absolutely unshakable.Hearing of Sun Ce's current ban on killing, Jiang Qin immediately straightened up and bowed, resolutely accepting the order.

And after Sun Ce directly killed dozens of Xuzhou generals and soldiers last time, Xuzhou generals were also in awe of Sun Ce, and no one dared to take it lightly.

In Zhang Fei's shock, he saw the Jiangdong general who commanded a hundred elite soldiers this time—the heroic, fierce and proud female general Sun Ning!
Zhang Fei asked in shock: "Who is this... the captain?"

Sun Ce said solemnly: "Second sister of the orphan! You can put yellow flowers on the mirror, or wear cold light on the iron armor! Zhang Zhonglang, the second sister of the orphan will fight with you in Huaibei in person. I hope you will live up to the high expectations of the orphan. The sharp edge!"

Sun Ning stood proudly, holding his long spear upside down, with his hand on his waist, and looked at Zhang Fei fiercely: "I hope people will forget that I am a woman, and I hope they will remember that I am a female general. Yu Erlang! Zhang Zhonglang, please advise!"

As Sun Ning pulled down the armor plate, Qingcheng's face was blocked by the visor and neck guard, and there was only one elite soldier in military robes and black armor left in place!The Central Plains armor is only made for war.Fully armored, how can you tell the male from the female?

But Zhang Fei felt that this beautiful face and heroic figure would be engraved in his heart forever, and he would never forget it in his life!I will always remember this loyal and brave female general who won't give up her eyebrows!

Until Sun Ning held a long lance, and brought hundreds of elite soldiers in red robes and black armor, wearing heavy armor, they passed by in an orderly and heavy footstep, and set out to board the ship.

Zhang Fei just recovered from the shock, and his heart became more and more determined. If he can't win this battle, he will never live!Even if you risk your life, even if you die in battle, you must hold the line!Sun Ning must not be allowed to die in the north of the Huaihe River.

Strengthening his will, Zhang Fei immediately led his troops into the Jiangdong battleship, ready to land.
