Chapter 760 The Hunt Begins

All the soldiers in Hong Xiu's army believed that they were blessed by the true god and that they were invulnerable. Before going to the battlefield, they would drink the water from the talisman and rush towards the enemy's formation screaming.

Once killed, it is because of the insincere belief in the king of heaven, so he will be killed, and the talisman water will not work.

From the perspective of Cai Guo, this is a group of lunatics, so the soldiers on Cai Guo's side all call the soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven the lunatic army.

It's just that Sun Quan didn't completely deny Tianguo's demagogic approach; once soldiers believed that they were invulnerable, they would be extremely fierce on the battlefield, and many people would feel very headache when they encountered such an army.

And it is often easy to be killed by the army of the kingdom of heaven, and it is very difficult to escape.

It has to be said that although Hong Xiuquan is a magic stick, he has three thousand paths and leads to the same goal by different routes. In the end, the essence is the same.

"If you just go to Changping, the general thinks it's still a bit dangerous." Hua Rong repeated, then turned to look at Sun Quan and asked, "General, can we go straight to Ruyang and borrow it from Cai Guo? "

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Sun Quan smiled bitterly: "Hong Xiuquan is not a good talker in the first place, and the soldiers under him are always worried that our Cai Guo army will seize their land and wealth in the past, and they are more hostile than the Zhao people. us."

"It's just that the general is worried that the Qin people will dispatch cavalry to intercept us in Changping." Hua Rong hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his worries.

"Don't worry." Sun Quan suddenly smiled confidently: "You and I are now brothers and sisters, and I will not hide some things from you. The reason why the general decided to retreat in this way is because I have already talked with you a long time ago. Zhao’s military generals secretly set up a bridge, and they promised to send troops to rescue us after we withdrew into Zhao.”

When Hua Rong heard this, he felt a little displeased, but the current situation is stronger than others. If Sun Quanquan arranges it in advance and accepts it later, maybe the people on his side who want to withdraw may not have a chance.

"The general is far-sighted. I don't know why our army will leave?"

Sun Quan thought for a moment, then pondered: "Since ancient times, when two armies confront each other, they have never tire of deceit. Since our army has made up its mind to retreat, before we retreat, we will pretend to deploy city defenses and make preparations for a decisive battle with the Qin army. If this is the case, it is enough to confuse the Qin army, what does the general think?"

"According to what the general said." Hua Rong nodded and said: "However, there are some people in the army who cannot leave. Their superiors are those generals who clamored to send the general out of the city. Although I beheaded them, in order to prevent accidents What happened, I suggest, keep all these people in the city, and mobilize them to defend on the towers. The Qin army now has a large number of troops, but they have not spread out and surrounded all the city gates. This is the time for us to break through .”

Since ancient times, in decisive battles among military strategists, even if there are a large number of people, when encountering a siege battle, it is common to surround three city gates and leave one gate for the enemy to escape from. There is no ambush here.

This is a way of life deliberately left for the enemy!
Otherwise, if the enemy army sticks to the city, holding the heart of death, no matter how powerful they are, if they want to take the city, they are doomed to suffer heavy casualties.

It just so happens that the city gate that Jia Xu left for Sun Quan is the North City Gate. As long as you lead the soldiers to escape from here and carry about a hundred miles on your back, you can enter the vast plain land, and this is Changping!

Under the crucial decisive battle for hegemony between the ancient Qin State and the Zhao State, the encirclement stretched for hundreds of miles, and almost 100 million people gathered here for a decisive battle.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the sky is dark, the sun and the moon are dark, and ghosts and gods are crying.

But again, because it is a vast and boundless plain, once you enter here and escape for your life, it is relatively safe and you will not encounter too many problems.

On the same day, Sun Quan ordered that the whole army guard Xiangcheng to the death, and anyone who dared to surrender would be beheaded on the spot!

After the military order was issued, Hua Rong led his own soldiers to convey the military order in the army, selected a few warriors who did not respect the military order, chopped off their heads, hung the bloody heads on the military flag, and patrolled the three armies!

For a while, the military capacity of Sun Quan's army was greatly changed, and the soldiers on the tower also began to strengthen the city wall and carry the headgear and logs.

Qin Jun, who had been staring at Cai Jun outside, immediately reported the change of Cai Jun to Jia Xu and others.

When Jia Xu heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "This must be Sun Quan's suspicious strategy. Hurry up and tell Di Qing that Sun Quan is about to go out. Whether he can capture Sun Quan alive depends on Di Qing's ability!"

"Here!"

The general immediately ordered the soldiers in the army to act quickly, and dispatched messengers to inform Di Qing.

In addition, Di Qing has already entered the land of Changping with tens of thousands of cavalry, but he has been sending soldiers to report his position along the way, so the messengers sent out by the army did not take long. Di Qing was found.

Di Qing took the order and looked at it, and confirmed that it was Jia Xu's letter. In the letter, Jia Xu gave a general description of Sun Quan's current situation.

Most of Sun Quan’s army are infantry, which is also the shortcoming of the Central Plains regime, so Sun Quan’s escape speed will not be fast. Di Qing has enough cavalry, so Jia Xu hopes that Di Qing can go all out and take Sun Quan’s entire army up and down Annihilation in one fell swoop.

After reading it, Di Qing stuffed Jia Xu's military order into the inner armor, and said to the person who came: "Just go back and report that Di Hanchen has received the military order. Please wait a moment, my lord. I will definitely take Sun Quan's head back." !"

"The villain congratulates the general in advance for his great service!" The visitor clasped his fists on the horse's back and said loudly, then turned around and retreated back thinking about where he came from.

"Thank you!" Di Qing looked at the direction in which the messenger disappeared, and nodded with a smile. He turned to look at the general beside him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, followed by an extremely solemn expression.

"Everyone! When we just crossed the Huai River, our army's war horses hadn't had time to be transported, so Sun Quan fled. His Majesty the Emperor was waiting for the news of our victory in Shouchun City. Sun Quan is now a bereaved dog. , we are an elite division, and all the soldiers under our command are cavalry, if that is the case and let Sun Quan flee, how can we have the face to go back and ask His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Sun Quan must be captured!"

All the military generals in the army expressed their opinions one after another, and they would definitely not let Sun Quan go in this battle.

The murderous intent in Di Qing's eyes was slightly condensed, and he said in a cold voice: "Order the whole army, I'm just waiting for work today, watching Sun Quan's leader come and throw himself into the net, if he can't be captured alive, the commander and commander of the army All the generals above the senior level will be beheaded! This general...will definitely die here too!"

As soon as this remark came out, the entire army did not change color.

A group of generals froze in place, not daring to vent their anger.

Di Qing grinned ferociously: "What are you still doing here? Since the general has already exported his strength, he must carry it out absolutely. If Sun Quan is gone, I will die with you!"

"Definitely kill Sun Quan!"

The military order was passed on, and almost no one was not afraid.

The commander of the army, and the generals above the commander, are all beheaded. Who would dare not go all out?
Di Qing mobilized the troops and horses, and the [-] cavalry were divided into three columns, one column and two horizontal columns. The horseshoes beat the ground, as if there were countless drums beating...

……

In Xiangcheng, Hua Rong sent a roster to Sun Quan, and said: "After the investigation of these people by the general, those who have no problems and those who have problems have been sent to the tower by the general...General, we are Aren't you leaving tonight?"

Sun Quan glanced at it casually, and then said, "That's right, tonight, we can't wait too long. After a long time, the Qin army outside the city will definitely find out the problem."

After a pause, Sun Quan suddenly said: "At Zishi, you mobilized the army, put down the flags and drums, and we went out through the north gate... Now you send someone to look for it, and take all the horses, even mules, Farm cattle and other things are all requisitioned, and soldiers should try not to walk with their feet if they can walk without feet. In this way, our army can increase the speed as fast as possible.”

"Will this arouse public anger?" Hua Rong hesitated.

"Hmph, pedantry!" Sun Quan scolded angrily, "I'm already at the point of life and death. Even if the people in this city resent you, you should also resent the people of Qin and the incompetence of Liu Bei and his son. Such a situation? Panic like a bereaved dog?"

"The general is serious!" Hua Rong's complexion changed slightly, and he quickly cupped his hands and said, "I will do as the general."

"Hmph!" Sun Quan snorted coldly, and said quite dissatisfied: "In order to prevent the people in the city from coaxing and mutinying, you can order the soldiers in the army to write a contract for them. would be too strong."

Hua Rong suddenly raised his head and glanced at Sun Quan. Obviously, he was very surprised when Sun Quan said the word "untouchable".

"What are you looking at, hurry up and execute it!" Sun Quan said angrily, his eyes were all bloodshot.

"The last will obey!"

Hua Rong quickly retreated.

"Oh!"

There was only Sun Quan in the whole hall, and Sun Quan suddenly punched the desk, causing the flagons and bottles to fall to the ground, and the wine poured out.

"Oh! What's wrong with me!" Sun Quan said in pain, "I have the world in my heart, I have ambitions in my heart, why did it become like this?"

"Troubled times! Troubled times..." In the candlelight, one could faintly see tears welling up in the corners of Sun Quan's eyes, but they didn't flow out, but were forcefully forced back by him.

In the entire mansion, when the servants heard that Sun Quan was angry, they all locked themselves outside, not daring to come in.

Hua Rong led thousands of people over from the street, glanced at the brightly lit General's Mansion, and hurried in.
