Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 286 Fierce Battle

After a few more days, the defenders of the county town had only two or three days of food and grass.In addition to being besieged for more than half a month, people in the whole county were panicked.

"Uncle Zhu, everything is arranged?"

Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi came to the tower of the North City Gate, and Sun Ce asked.

"En." Zhu Zhi looked serious, nodded and said, "It's all arranged, and whether it succeeds or fails depends on tonight."

That's right, because there is not much food and grass, they are going to go all out to break through tonight.

Gradually night fell.

Outside the north city gate, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were having dinner in the military tent.

Sweet potato dry rice, pork stew vermicelli, delicious!
"Wen Yuan, the enemy army's food and grass in the county should not be available for a few days, do you think they will break out from the north gate?" Gao Shun worried: "If they break out from the east gate and escape into the mountains, they will not be able to escape." Wouldn't it be cheaper for them if they were blocked?"

Zhang Liao put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth, and said: "According to the current situation, there are still more than 6000 defenders in the city, most of whom are infantry. If they break through the east gate, they must abandon most of their troops. The enemy If the army was willing to do so, it would have broken out from the East City Gate long ago.

Besides, the enemy reinforcements outside the canyon have not retreated for a long time. They must be waiting for the people in the city to break out, or they have an agreement in advance, and when the time comes, they will echo each other and catch us by surprise.

I am sure that as long as we are not in a desperate situation, the enemy will not abandon a large number of soldiers and horses to break through the east gate and enter the mountain.In fact, I hope they do so, lest there be another big fight. "

At the same time, Zhang Liao reminded: "By the way, the one who broke into the city before should be Sun Ce. This person is really powerful in force. If you encounter him, you can't compete with him alone."

"I know that there are too many people in this world who are better than me in martial arts." Gao Shun said with self-knowledge, "If possible, I will ask the camp to keep him."

Zhang Liao also estimated that Sun Ce's possibility of breaking through the siege was high in the next few days, but he didn't know which day it would be, so he had to be vigilant all the time.

Silent night!

The south city gate suddenly opened, and then the sound of fighting continued.

A scout rushed to report to Zhang Liao the situation at the south gate.

"My general ordered that if the enemy troops try their best to break out from the south, let them pass, and ignore the others." Zhang Liao said to the scouts.

After the scouts left, Zhang Liao said to Gao Shun, "The enemy is likely to break through tonight, and it's from our side."

"Wen Yuan, you're saying that the enemy's actions at the south gate are all for the purpose of attacking the west." Gao Shun suddenly said, "Okay, I'll go prepare now."

Sure enough, as Zhang Liao expected, the sound of fighting outside the gate of the south city soon died down, and the enemy troops withdrew into the city.

After about half an hour passed, the north city gate opened, and three to four thousand people came out, but they did not see Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi.

After fighting for a while, Zhang Liao found that these enemy troops seemed to be only restraining him, and they were all infantry.

"Did I guess wrong?" Zhang Liao wondered, "Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi are so ruthless to leave thousands of infantry behind, and want to break through the east gate and enter the mountain?"

Not long after, scouts came to report that there were one or two thousand cavalrymen at the east gate trying their best to break through the siege, and they also found a figure that seemed to be Zhu Zhi, and it was difficult for them to wipe out the enemy.

"A strong man cut off his wrist?" Zhang Liao was still a little unbelievable, but he soon felt relieved: "Forget it, it's fine to run away."

Then he came before the battle between the two armies and shouted loudly: "You general Zhu Zhi has already run away from the east gate, and you have been abandoned. This general does not want to increase the anger of killing in vain. Put down your weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed." !"

"Put down your weapons, those who descend don't kill!"

"Put down your weapons, those who descend don't kill!"

Thousands of enemy troops were stunned for a moment, the sound of fighting stopped, and they were hesitating whether to surrender or not.

At this time, a general on the tower shouted:
"We are willing to surrender!"

Thousands of enemy soldiers heard the sound and put down their weapons and squatted in place.

Immediately afterwards, the gate of the city was opened, and a group of cavalry, except for the gate, seemed to welcome Zhang Liao into the city.

"This battle is finally over."

Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief, but felt an inexplicable unease in his heart.

Patting his horse and walking slowly towards the city gate, his eyes inadvertently looked at the surrendered soldiers who had put down their weapons and squatted on the spot. Fake surrender, the whole army is on alert!"

Fortunately, it was discovered in time.

And just as Zhang Liao was shouting, a soldier among the surrendered soldiers suddenly picked up the long spear on the ground and jumped up, shouting: "All soldiers, follow me to kill!"

At the same time, cavalry began to rush out from the city gate, and Zhu Zhi was among them, shouting, "Kill!"

"Sun Ce!"

Zhang Liao looked at the soldier, who was Sun Ce, and he didn't expect to be so careless: "All soldiers, meet the enemy!"

Due to the sudden relaxation of guard, Sun Ce and others took advantage of the opportunity.The archer, before he could react, fought with the enemy army and lost his due role.

The strength of the two armies is about the same at the moment, 5000 people.

Sun Ce's strategy succeeded and took the opportunity to break through desperately.However, he was quickly intercepted by the camp commanded by Gao Shun's parents. Gao Shun looked at Sun Ce and shouted, "You are Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong?"

"Exactly!" Sun Ce thought it was too tricky to be trapped in the camp, but found that Gao Shun, a general who had never seen it before breaking through the trapped camp, asked, "Who are you? Are you the real general of this infantry formation?"

"Little Overlord has good eyesight!" Gao Shun was very confident in his trapping camp: "You won't be able to break through the trapping camp this time, just capture it!"

"Trapped into the camp?...a good name!" Sun Ce is not someone who gives up easily: "If I can break it once, I can break it again. You can't stop me!"

Just when Sun Ce was about to fight against the trapped camp again, Zhu Zhi arrived from behind, and many people followed, and the surroundings were illuminated by torches.Zhu Zhi shouted:
"Bo Fu, the enemy's left wing is in disarray, follow me!"

Hearing the sound, Sun Ce reined in his horse and turned around. Before leaving, he said, "It's okay this time. However, I believe that in the future, I will be able to experience the demeanor of being trapped in the camp again!"

Their purpose is to break through, not to fight.Gao Shun's camp was infantry, and he could only watch Sun Ce and others break through to the right, and watched Sun Ce disappear into the darkness, sighing: "It's really a pity."

Zhang Liao reacted in a timely manner. Although Sun Ce was able to break through, his side suffered little loss.

The order left and right said: "Kuaima inform the Xi staff and General Cao Xing that they must stop the enemy in the canyon. Our army will rush to the canyon immediately after a little repair."

At the same time, on the other side of the canyon, Cheng Pu was already arranging for people to enter the canyon in the dark, and when it was dawn, he would enter the canyon with all his might and prepare to meet Sun Ce and the others.

Previously, Sun Ce and Cheng Pu had an agreement that when there were only two or three days left of food and grass, they would try their best to break through from the north. At that time, Cheng Pu would enter the canyon to meet them.
