God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

Chapter 55 Attack from both sides
That afternoon, at Li Su's suggestion, Hua Xiong's troops were divided into two groups, led by Hua Xiong himself. They left the customs first and went straight to the front of Sun Jian's camp.

The other way out of the pass, led by Li Su, took a detour to the rear of Sun Jian's camp to block Sun Jian's retreat and block possible coalition reinforcements.

As soon as Hua Xiong led his army out of Sishui Pass, he was discovered by Sun Jian's spy who had been staying outside Sishui Pass and quickly passed the information back.

It was already approaching the afternoon, and there was not much food left in Sun Jian's camp. In order to survive normally, on the one hand, he notified Yuan Shu to distribute food quickly, and on the other hand, he changed the food supply from two meals a day to one meal a day, thus extending the time. The number of days the remaining food can survive.

At the same time, the number of patrols also began to decrease to reduce unnecessary physical exertion. This was also the reason why Sun Jian stayed in place even though there was no food and grass.

Even if the army is withdrawn, a large amount of food supplies will be needed. However, after taking the position of vanguard, how can he withdraw casually?
When it was unclear whether Yuan Shu's food was in trouble, he could only wait for a reply from the coalition camp.

As for the reconnaissance spies, they were still able to maintain two meals a day. Under such circumstances, they discovered important military intelligence and still had the energy to return to Sun Jian's camp and report the information to Sun Jian.

"Go down and inform the other generals to come and discuss matters." Sun Jian waved his hand to inform the messenger to leave, and at the same time ordered the messenger to notify other generals to come for the meeting.

The soldiers did not have much food. As a general, you should share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and set an example. In this case, whether it was Sun Jian or other generals, they would eat one meal a day.

It is precisely because of this behavior that the soldiers under Sun Jian have not had much popular feeling, and they still retain basic discipline and army morale.

After a while, the four generals under Sun Jian arrived one after another.

Looking at the generals under his command, Sun Jian said directly, "I took the position of vanguard and came here to Sishui Pass to defeat the enemy and kill generals, making the first contribution to the coalition. However, now, Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao don't even give them food." If I behave like this, forget it."

Seeing several generals thinking seriously, Sun Jian then said, "Now, the general guarding Sishui Pass has actually come out. As expected, he must have discovered that our army is short of food. Our army is short of food. Although many people Everyone knows it, but there are basically no people going out, so the news leakage is unlikely to come from us, it can only be from the coalition camp."

When Sun Jian thought of this, he was a little disappointed with the coalition forces. How could people work together with such a mentality and actions?

"Then what should we do?" Zu Mao asked directly on the spot. The only one who could make the decision in this situation was Sun Jian himself.

Sun Jian thought for a moment and immediately made up his mind. He looked at several generals and said directly, "Ignore them, lead the troops and withdraw."

Since no food is provided, there is no need to worry about the vanguard position. Just withdraw the troops and come whoever wants to come.

Even though it was approaching night, Sun Jian did not hesitate to issue an order to retreat overnight. Even if it was late at night, because he could not see, many soldiers might get lost and be unable to follow them, etc.

But these are not important things. Sun Jian has been waiting. Those soldiers coming out of Sishui Pass are the biggest disaster this night.

Whether you can see the sun tomorrow depends on whether you can evacuate from this place.

Even the camp was not taken away. The army went directly into a state of light and urgent movement, carrying only grain, grass and weapons. Sun Jian's soldiers advanced directly in the direction of Jujube.

Into the night
Hua Xiong led his army and broke through Sun Jian's camp. Looking around, he found neither sentries nor patrols. The entire camp was in a mess.

Such a chaotic camp does not look like an ambush, but rather like someone running around overnight.When he thought of this, Hua Xiong's face darkened on the spot. He really didn't expect that Sun Jian had such courage and dared to lead his soldiers to run away overnight.

In this era when most soldiers cannot be seen at night, those who dare to walk at night are ruthless people.

What's more, it's late at night. If you need to make an emergency retreat, how can you have so much time to prepare torches and other lighting items?
"General, there are traces of the army walking over there!" the soldier on the side said, pointing in one direction.

"Everyone, give chase." Now that he had discovered the traces of the enemy, Hua Xiong chose to chase without any hesitation. As for the pursuit of the poor enemy, it was nonsense. A group of hungry infantrymen on the opposite side could still run away. Can you defeat their cavalry?

...

Li Su led his army to temporarily replace the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in order to make a more convenient attack around the rear. Although some of them were not used to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's combat methods, they could still do the most basic assault.

Scattered torches appeared in the distance, reflecting the scattered troops around them. While walking, one could see the state of this army. It was obviously in extremely poor condition, and it was difficult to maintain even a basic formation.

But it was clearly moving in one direction, and it didn't look like a retreat.

Seeing an army like this, Li Su knew on the spot that he had hit a big fish. The only army that could appear in this place was still in this condition, and it could only be the army under Sun Jian with almost no food and grass.

The credit is before your eyes, how can you not grasp it in your hands?

Li Su looked at the moon in the sky. Although the brightness was not very high, ordinary Xiliang cavalry soldiers could still vaguely see some figures, and they barely had some basic skills in night combat.

After questioning many soldiers, Li Su chose the most common combat method of the Xiliang cavalry and took the lead in charging directly, like an awl, directly into Sun Jian's marching team.

Many cavalrymen followed Li Su. In this silent night, the sound of the galloping hooves of the cavalrymen was particularly eye-catching.

In this open flat land with no terrain to block the cavalry, Sun Jian's infantry met the Xiliang cavalry who were waiting in full formation.

Especially when they had no food, many Jiangdong soldiers faced the impact of the Xiliang cavalry and collapsed and fled around before engaging in battle.

"The whole army forms an array, with spears in front and archers shooting flatly." Cheng Pu, who was at the forefront of the army, quickly issued a military order. However, at this moment, the army's command system was completely unable to play its due role.

Occasionally there were scattered bows and arrows, but they were unable to stop the already galloping Xiliang cavalry.

The Xiliang cavalry led by Li Su, with long spears in their hands, not only slowed down in the slightest, but directly drove into Sun Jian's infantry marching column.

The large number of Xiliang cavalry easily penetrated Sun Jian's infantry marching column. The numerous Jiangdong infantry who faced the Xiliang cavalry collapsed at this moment.
