"Brother Yi went to Hefei?"
Sun CE, who was patrolling the camp, said hurriedly, "come on, chase him back!"
Zhou Yu said, "Bofu, it''s too late."
"This boy!" Sun CE''s fist clenched and banged, "reckless and bold!"
Zhou Yu said, "in fact, this is not necessarily a bad thing."
"Huh?"
Zhou Yu said, "we didn''t expect it. If Sun Yi dares to do so, the enemy should be even more unexpected. So what we should do now is to assemble a large army and be ready to destroy the city at any time!"
Sun CE said, "but brother Yi is in a tight encirclement. Even if he has three heads and six arms, he can''t stop so many yuan Bing!"
Zhou Yu said calmly, "so we should attack the city and keep the defenders busy defending the enemy, so as to create the greatest chance of survival for him."
At that moment, Zhou Yu ordered Gan Ning to lead an army to the West stronghold to stop Zhang Liao; Taishici led an army to the East stronghold to stop Xu Huang. Sun CE led Zhou Tai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other generals to Hefei city.
Forty thousand troops, carrying soil and grass, came to the moat.
It was spring, and the moat was shallow; In addition, when the sun''s army attacked the city a few days ago, they had already filled the moat in 7788. Now they put Earth bags and grass salaries into it, so that the brigade can get through unimpeded.
In Hefei City, the fire is burning and the people are noisy. Obviously, it is also a mess.
"The city gate! The city gate is open!" Zhou Yu said excitedly to sun CE, "Bofu, attack the city quickly and capture Hefei, and you can open the gate of the Central Plains!"
Sun CE shot with a long gun, and Zhou Tai and other ministries led the army into the city. Sun CE led the Chinese army to press in on a large scale.
Yuan Jun was obviously more tenacious than sun CE thought. Although the city gate was lost, he still insisted on street fighting.
The fierce battle lasted for the middle of the night, and sun cecai occupied Hefei city. General Cao Ren abandoned the city and left.
Zhou Yu was a little strange and said, "how can yuan Jun''s troops guarding Hefei not match the figures in the intelligence? The yuan Jun we destroyed and the yuan Bing we captured add up to only a few thousand people."
Next to Zhou Tai said, "did they all escape with Cao Ren?"
Zhou Yu shook her head and said nothing.
At this time, Gan Ning came to hand over the order and said, "someone fought fiercely with Zhang Liao and couldn''t win. Later, Zhang Liao saw the fall of Hefei and withdrew his troops directly. Someone didn''t have a military order, so he didn''t pursue."
Zhou Yu said, "don''t chase the poor aggressors. General Gan did the right thing."
That''s true, but Zhou Yu''s handsome eyebrows add more doubt.
After a while, Tai Shici also gave orders to tell Xu Huang that he had no love for war and also retreated.
Sun CE waved his hand and said, "Yuan Jun is a fearless bandit. Hefei is such an important gateway that I can''t stick to it. If I were Yuan Xi, I would certainly cut off the heads of these shrimp soldiers and crab generals... By the way, have you seen brother Yi?"
Zhou Tai and other generals who participated in the attack on Hefei shook their heads and said they didn''t know.
Sun CE''s heart sank and said, "order the whole army to dig three feet and find brother Yi. Live to see people and die to see corpses!"
Zhou Yu advised: "Bofu, now that he has just captured Hefei, he should immediately patrol the city defense and restore his guard. At the same time, he should send someone to Wancheng to prevent accidents."
Sun CE shook his head and insisted, "if brother Yi loses, I''d rather not this Hefei city!"
Jiangdong army searched the streets of Hefei.
Suddenly someone reported that the city gate was on fire. Sun Cegang arranged soldiers to fight the fire. The military order had not been issued yet. The four gates caught fire together. The fire was great and ignited the houses in the city.
This fire was obviously premeditated for a long time, and the fire burned half the sky red.
Zhou Yu said in surprise, "it must be yuan Jun who set fire to the city! I don''t know who planned to offer such a poisonous plan. Bofu, order to withdraw from Hefei quickly!"
Sun cexin was unwilling, but he could only lead the army out of Hefei.
The burning sun''s army, after leaving the city, met the return horse gun killed by Yuan Jun. Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Cao Ren and other yuan generals led their troops to intercept and kill, while sun''s army was caught in the plan of burning the city. Its morale was greatly reduced and its formation was chaotic, showing a trend of rout.
Yuan Bing, on the third route, rushed to sun CE''s flag and shouted to catch sun CE alive.
Zhou Yu whispered beside sun CE, "put down the handsome flag and take the path back to Jiangdong!"
Sun CE raised his gun and said in a loud voice, "I will be the courage of soldiers. If I flee with fear, why do these 50000 Jiangdong children soldiers go from here? Raise the handsome flag, and the generals will rush with me to kill the enemy!"
In the chaotic army, sun CE rushed into the array bravely and killed seven ministries of Yuan army. No one dared to go wherever he went.
The morale of Jiangdong army was revived and regrouped under the guidance of sun CE''s personal troops.
Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Cao Ren and other generals saw the situation unfavourably. After fighting for a while, they called for gold to withdraw again and went south-east.
Sun CE reorganized his army and saw that only half of the 50000 troops were left, most of them died in the Hefei fire. Most of the remaining 20000 sergeants were also wounded.
"This time, Yuan Jun''s plan was won and his troops and horses were damaged. However, Hefei city is already a white land. When our army returns to Anhui city, we will regroup and take the Central Plains again!"
At the critical moment, sun CE was still very reliable. His impassioned remarks rekindled the confidence of the gloomy Jiangdong generals.
However, Zhou Yu was not optimistic. He whispered to sun CE, "I''m afraid it''s difficult to defend the city of Anhui. Look at the generals of the yuan family, why didn''t they go to the northwest but to the southeast? There is only the city of Anhui in the southeast. Do they want to throw themselves into the net?"
Sun CE was surprised: "do you mean there is a loss in Wancheng?"
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "I''ve estimated that there are no more than 30000 yuan troops fighting with us tonight. There are at least 60000 or 70000 garrisons in Hefei! Where did the remaining half of the troops go? I''m afraid they took advantage of the Hefei war to seize the city of Anhui!"
Sun CE narrowed his eyes and said, "even so, you can''t be reconciled if you don''t take a look in person."
……
Wancheng.
Jia Xu stood at the head of the city and looked ahead. Seeing the flag of Yuan Bing on the third road coming from afar, he shook his head and said, "Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and Cao Ren are all strong generals. Can''t he win a sun CE who has been caught in the fire? The strength of Jiangdong''s army is really strong."
Qiao Rui was right behind him and said with a smile, "Sir''s strategy is really an eye opener. Burning Hefei and secretly seizing Anhui city, a series of strategies were completed at one go. No wonder the Lord entrusted him with his sword."
Jia Xu shook his head: "my wisdom is far worse than the Lord."
Qiao Rui could see Jia Xu''s pride hidden in the corner of her eyes at a glance. She couldn''t help laughing and said, "thank you, sir, for leaving me the war achievements of attacking the city of Anhui."
Jia Xu shook his head and said solemnly, "general Qiao is the most suitable candidate to capture the city of Anhui. I didn''t have any selfishness when I deployed."
"Yes, sir." Jorie nodded.
