Overlord!

Chapter 45 Beheading a Famous General (Seeking the first order, seeking the first order)

The changes in the war made Zu Lang, the commander-in-chief of Jing County, furious. Tens of thousands of people attacked the enemy camp at night. Instead of defeating the enemy, they fell into a stalemate. Tricks, but Xiaoxiao who is difficult to be elegant.

If this battle can't be won even with a night attack, how can the tyrants of Danyang County laugh at themselves in the future?Wouldn't it highlight Sun Ce's name even more, and he himself became a despicable person!
At this time, a bloody Shanyue bandit commander had been defeated, and led his troops to flee from the darkness. When he saw Zu Lang, he immediately yelled hysterically: "I said this plan is not feasible! Sun Lang has nearly ten thousand troops here." It's too fantastic to defeat it with just fifty carts of wine!"

A strong man who followed Zu Lang was frightened by the drums from all directions: "Commander, what he said is also reasonable. If fifty carts of wine can disintegrate an army of nearly ten thousand, what kind of art of war is there to learn? It is enough for a strong enemy to send wine. Nothing can be done, let's retreat."

Zu Lang raised his spear angrily, directly stabbed the cowardly tyrant in front of him to death, and then yelled loudly: "Wine and sex only breaks his will. Fifty carts of wine is a miracle. The real decisive battle is our upright fight! Sun Ce's troops have already Huan San, as long as you are not afraid of the golden drum and dare to fight, you will definitely be able to break through this camp tonight."

In the dark night, he could also see Sun Ce's bright banner on the high slope. He stood in front of the whole army to boost morale: "Sun Ce's banner is right in front, and we have successfully attacked at night and killed him to the front of his banner. If you are weak alone, you only need to hide and move forward, capture and kill Sun Ce, and you will be able to defeat the enemy! After breaking the camp, you will take all the property here!"

Zu Lang's words of encouragement are very effective, especially the thousands of soldiers here are all part of his command, and their combat power and will are higher than others.

Zu Lang personally took the lead in the charge, and thousands of people fought desperately, launching a fierce attack on Gaopo, and the arrows even shot at Sun Ce's feet.

But Sun Ce stood on the high slope with his hands behind his back, unmoved at all, commanding the soldiers below with a stern face to fight to the death.

Under his command, Zhou Tai's troops not only did not stick to the gate of the Chinese army camp, but instead broke out of the camp and lined up with their backs. Hundreds of soldiers and mandarin ducks lined up tens of steps thick and more than one mile wide.

Zu Lang's troops couldn't even get close to the camp, not to mention breaking through the camp gate.

Sun Ce dared to go out to fight with only a few hundred men. Zu Lang couldn't contain his anger and roared in front of the battle, "Sun Ce dares to lighten me so much! All the generals besieged on three sides and wiped out all the enemy troops!"

But the situation of the battle did not change at all because of his roar. Zhou Tai's troops fought to the death with all their strength, bows and crossbows were thrown down, swords and halberds were raised at the same time, and dead bodies piled up everywhere in front of the mandarin ducks!

Zu Lang was brave and could not accept the situation where thousands of subordinates were in a stalemate with hundreds of enemy troops. He took the lead and led his personal guards to fight with all his strength, intending to open a gap in the formation and defeat Zhou Tai's formation.

Standing beside Sun Ce, Zhou Cheng's complexion gradually turned pale. Although she is extremely intelligent, she is only a woman after all. She has never seen such a tragic battle involving thousands of people. The battlefield with mountains of corpses and seas of blood is so strong that it makes one's scalp tingle. .

She asked cautiously: "Sun Lang, our army is too small. Is there any danger in such a tragic consumption?"

Sun Ce looked calmly at the fiercely fought battlefield ahead, and said firmly, "This is the elite I have selected from the whole army. They are well-trained and disciplined soldiers! I believe that one of them will be able to stand up to ten, flesh and blood!"

And Zhou Tai's troops were indeed as Sun Ce said, vigorous and vigorous, even surpassing Sun Ce's imagination.

After nearly an hour of fighting, Zhou Tai's troops fought fiercely and bravely, fighting to the death. Shanyue suffered heavy casualties, and dead bodies piled up all over the place. Zu Lang, the commander of Jing County, was even beheaded. In the end, thousands of Shanyue were defeated.

When Sun Ce learned from the captives that the beheaded enemy commander was actually the most famous and powerful Zu Lang in Danyang, he was really amazed for a while.

History has been changed beyond recognition.This was one of Sun Ce's greatest enemies on the way to pacify Jiangdong, and it should have been pacified at the end.When Sun Ce's army returned, he and Tai Shici led the army together, and they were glorious for a while.

In the end, he was beheaded directly tonight, and he didn't even rush up the slope in front of Sun Ce!
While Zu Lang was defeated here, Shanyue's retreat in the distance had also been cut off.

Sun Ce's army is really full of talented people, Wu Jing and Sun Ben are all good generals for a while, and Zhou Yu is an unrivaled genius.

They rallied their troops and fought hard, and Shanyue's night attack was firmly blocked by the defenders everywhere.

In particular, Zhou Yu has been inspecting the Danyang Army since Sun Ce's army left.

Shanyue from Jingxian came to kill, and he couldn't even rush into the Danyang army camp. Afterwards, Zhou Yu went out of the camp together. Thousands of soldiers raised their torches and began to sweep away Xiao Xiao in the darkness.

The aura of this golden and iron horse is far from what a group of dark mountains can match.

As Zu Lang led the army to attack and was cut down on the battlefield by Zhou Tai's troops, Shanyue's entire army collapsed.

By dawn, the flames in the camp had been extinguished, the fighting had completely subsided, and nearly [-] people were captured in Shanyue.

In the Chinese army camp, Wu Jing and Sun Ben didn't look very good.

The war ended, and the counting and statistics began. The stark record comparison was a merciless slap in the face of the two of them.

Not to mention how many people Zhou Tai's troops killed or wounded, nor to mention Zhou Yu's sweep of the enemy.With just one fleeing number, the two of them couldn't hold their heads up.

Also encountered a night attack, Zhou Tai's troops in the Chinese army fought desperately, and no one fled before the battle.

Zhou Yu's troops were not chaotic in the face of danger, their camps were strong, and their troops were well-organized.

Only the troops of the two of them were in chaos. Thousands of soldiers directly collapsed, fled the battlefield in chaos, and retreated in large numbers.

If it weren't for the hard work of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's troops, their troops would have fallen apart in this night attack. At this time, let alone sitting here to share the capture, it is a question of whether they can regroup the stragglers.

And Sun Ce was also very tough, and said directly: "Uncle, Boyang, the army of the two of you can no longer maintain this big but not strong situation, it must be reorganized, Sha is too old and weak, weed out ruffians, and train strictly, such as Qing The more ordinary."

Qingyue is Xu Kun's cousin. He is the general who most supports Sun Ce among the clan, and he was once a partial general.In terms of status, they are actually no lower than Wu Jing and Sun Ben.

Taking Xu Kun as an example, Wu Jing and Sun Ben were willing to be under Sun Ce, and it was not difficult to accept to assist him in developing Jiangdong.

At the same time, Sun Ce was also very magnanimous, saying: "The soldiers in your unit vary from good to bad. An army of 2000 troops may not be stronger than a thousand elite soldiers. Among the nearly ten thousand captives, you can choose elite soldiers to add to your own troops, each commanding 1000 taels A hundred elite disciples."

This scale is the same as that of Xu Kun's troops. He made outstanding contributions in defeating Zhang Ying's troops in the last battle, so he was promoted to a level and supervised two departments.

Supervising and managing two departments, according to the number of commanding troops, there are more than [-] people, which is roughly equivalent to a school lieutenant.Therefore, Sun Ce named Xu Kun as the captain of Xinglifeng.

Cheng Pu, Xu Kun, Wu Jing, Sun Ben, and Zhou Yu were the only ones in the battalion who had the status to command thousands of people.

Besides, except for Zhou Yu's troops, Sun Ce provided grain, armor, equipment, and flags, so he was very powerful, and he was sure to be able to firmly control everyone.

Both Wu Jing and Sun Ben breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and were very grateful that Sun Ce did not criticize them and took the opportunity to lift the military power.

The actual size of their army was reduced by about 1000, and Sun Ben's was only reduced by more than [-].

After the night raid, they fell apart one by one, and the extent to which they can regroup is uncertain.But in any case, it is not as good as the conditions given by Sun Ce now.

Wu Jing immediately said: "I will definitely assist Bofu with all my strength, strictly enforce military discipline, refine soldiers, and sweep Jiangdong down."

Sun Ben also nodded heavily: "Me too."

Sun Ce smiled and got up: "There is no need for the family to talk about this. Didn't you just help me sweep Danyang? These tens of thousands of captives are rewarding you with young and strong soldiers."

Hearing Sun Ce's words, the two of them felt very relieved, and the gloom in their hearts was swept away, and their prospects for the future became much clearer.

After Sun Ce arranged for the two clan generals, Zhou Tai strode closer and reported, "General, there are thousands of cavalry approaching from outside the camp."

Sun Ce frowned, and the army?

The army has worked hard all night, and there is no time to rest in the future. If they continue to fight, it will inevitably turn into a fierce battle.

At this time Zhou Yu came in from outside the hall, and said calmly, "Don't worry, it's my father's county soldier who came."

Sun Ce's eyes lit up and he laughed, the old man's army is coming!My father-in-law is still very reliable. Even if the battle is still undecided and the fire in the camp spreads, he still leads his troops to leave the county town and come to rescue.

I just don't know if he is reluctant to part with his virtuous son-in-law or worried about his beloved daughter.

Sun Ce simply brought Zhou Cheng to greet her. The talent of this noble daughter of the Zhou family really amazed Sun Ce, and she was appropriately called the daughter-in-law Jin.It can definitely compete with Cai Wenji, a talented woman through the ages.

It's just that Cai Wenji is weak in writing, and she studies piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Zhou Cheng was amazingly talented, and was attracted by his two good brothers, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, to go astray. He studied classics and history, and Sun Tzu's art of war.

When Zhou Cheng came out, she had finished washing and dressing up. She had already become a married woman, and her hair was tied into the most popular cloud bun.

This is the most classic dress for a young woman, revealing her fair neck, which not only shows the coldness of Yujie, but also makes her heart-wrenchingly white and beautiful. No wonder Cao Cao loves wives!This kind of cold and beautiful dress made even Sun Ce's heart skip a beat, as if there was a fire in his chest.

What's more important is that Zhou Cheng's long hair is rolled up to reveal her white and tall neck, which highlights the allure of her seven-foot-six-inch height, which makes people want to conquer!

If Cao Cao's height of 1.6 meters saw such a tall beauty, he would no longer think of Tongquechun and Erqiao. The biggest goal of attacking Jiangdong is to successfully conquer this beauty, so as to greatly satisfy his desire to conquer.

However, Zhou Cheng was extremely handsome, but his temperament was not fierce, but very graceful. When he was called by Sun Ce, he was holding a pair of red shirts in his hands. Seeing Sun Ce, he said softly: "Sun Lang, the spring is cold, and the morning is the coldest. You Put on brocade robes to keep the wind and cold from entering your body."

Looking at the peerless beauty with a slender waist and jade belt, a graceful long skirt, and a light skirt that flows with the wind, Sun Ce sincerely felt that this is the greatest treasure he has gained from this marriage, and his perfect wife.

Sun Ce was as good as he was, put a brocade robe on his body, and asked, "You did this?"

Zhou Cheng smiled with crooked eyebrows: "It was originally made for Gong Jin, but you two are about the same height, so it will be used as a dowry first. If you don't have it, give it to others first."

Sun Ce looked at her with a smile, a little cute!Every frown and smile of this woman has a charming charm.

When Sun Ce led Zhou Cheng out of the camp of the Chinese army, he saw the old father-in-law leading the army.

Zhou Shang was not familiar with military affairs, although he came in command of the army, he was still dressed in literati robes, and his beard fluttered a bit like Wang Lang.

Of course, under Liu Yao's rule, Zhou Shang, Xu Gong, and Wang Lang, the prefects of the three counties in Jiangdong, were all celebrities in this style.

Liu Yao himself only used the children of Gongqing, not those from poor families.When the military situation was urgent, his subordinates recommended to him Taishi Ci, who was good at fighting, as a general. He was worried that Xu Jing would laugh at him for using a poor family as a general, so he abandoned it.So Tai Shici, who came to join him, was only a cavalryman.

When Zhou Shang saw the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, the battlefield of ghosts and monsters was also quite emotional in his heart.

He asked himself, if he was attacked at night by Shang Wanshan, he would definitely not be able to fight to such a tragic level, and then turn defeat into victory.

When he saw the fire spreading in the camp here in the city, he almost thought that Sun Ce was going to be wiped out.It was the sound of majestic drums that could be heard for more than ten miles, and he was sure that the battle was still raging, so he hurriedly led his troops.

But when he gathered his army and trekked all the way, the battle was almost over.

Since ancient times, literati have been neglected, and he claims to be the most outstanding among the three prefects in Jiangdong.

I have witnessed the course of this battle, the victory and defeat with my own eyes, and I am convinced that my command of troops is definitely not as good as my son-in-law.The other two prefects must be even more unable to resist.This virtuous son-in-law of my own will be like a broken bamboo, sweeping away Jiangdong.

With such a powerful minion, General Yuan really has the qualifications to dominate the troubled times.

Sun Ce didn't know that the father-in-law was still thinking about Yuan Shu at the moment, so he enthusiastically welcomed him into the Chinese army.

At the end of this war, Sun Ce gained not only a military victory, but also a great political influence.

After a brief greeting, Sun Ce immediately began to persuade: "This battle is a rebellion between Hao Qiang and Shan Yueyin. I have captured tens of thousands of people. The five counties in the south of Jing will be terrified. The county government can take this opportunity to wipe out the old clan. , to collect grain and grain from his fields and houses to fill the treasury."

Zhou Shang stroked his beard in thought. This battle can be regarded as a battle of prestige for his son-in-law, and a battle of prestige for the county government.

With such a fierce general to help the arm, the five counties in the south who have always been dissatisfied with the county government also have to be terrified.

Uproot those rebellious tyrants, and then appease the other tyrants, and the combination of grace and power will surely deepen the rule of the county government.

Then Zhou Shang nodded and said: "These tyrants have always been rebellious. After this battle, their resistance will be greatly weakened. Taking advantage of the situation to clean up a group of tycoons will make them more respectful of the prestige of General Yuan. Don't worry, Bofu, the money he collected I will clean up the grain and send it to your camp to help you open up territory for General Yuan."

Sun Shizhi was slightly surprised, there is such a good thing?

The old man wants to clean up the powerful in the name of Yuan Shu and help Yuan Shu stabilize his rule.

The resentment and resentment of Danyang's power cannot be blamed on Sun Ce.

When Yuan Shu weakens Danyang's power and Sun Ce comes to take over, it will be easier to rule here, and there will be fewer constraints.

For such a good thing, Sun Ce has to support it no matter what.
