Chapter 172 Underestimate the enemy and rashly advance, the lark in the net(2/2)
"My lord, will you go there in person?"
"We need to bring more troops and horses!"
"Eight hundred cavalry will suffice. If the tiger idiot Xu Chu leads the personal guards, there will be no danger." Zhang Kun shook his head, Xuzhou was in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. It also had to guard against Cao Cao stealing chickens. At least 30,000 troops and horses should be kept here.
defense.
Besides, with your own strength.
There is not much difference between more soldiers and fewer soldiers.
…
Half a month later, Zhang Kun was sitting in the tent.
All the generals gathered.
"My lord, now Sun Ce and Liu Xun have joined forces, with a total of more than 70,000 troops. They have set up camp in the Wancheng area, forming an angle with the city, making it difficult to attack."
"For more than ten days, the two sides have been engaged in several small battles, with no outcome determined. Sun Ce is extremely brave, and he has powerful generals such as Tai Shici under his command. Even if he is a fighting general, he cannot gain the upper hand."
Guo Fengxiao frowned.
There are also experts on the opposite side, and the defense is impenetrable.
This battle actually turned into a protracted battle. Both sides had their own ingenious plans and fought back and forth, but they were evenly matched.
"Now, Zhou Yu is outside and Sun Ce is inside. They are dependent on each other. There is a steady stream of food and grass support from Jiangdong. It is difficult to leave the city."
Zhang Kun smiled and shook his head, "If Sun Ce is defeated, Jiangnan will no longer be able to resist. It's actually not as complicated as you think."
He raised his head and looked at the military atmosphere in Wancheng, and saw that the troops were indeed in good order and their morale was as high as a rainbow. He waved his hand and said: "Tomorrow at midnight, after eating the meal, we will continue to challenge. I will personally meet Sun Ce for a while."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"My lord, no."
All the generals spoke together.
"I have made my decision, don't worry, Sun Ce actually went into battle to fight against the generals. This is a great opportunity. If God does not take it, you will be blamed for it."
…
the next day……
Two arrays facing each other in circles.
Zhang Kun rides a red rabbit horse and carries a three-pointed two-edged sword.
The first horse came out of the formation, and the sound shocked everyone.
"Sun Ce, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
These days, the two sides are fighting each other in battle formations, and there are battles between generals. Such a challenge is not too unexpected.
Guan Yu, Zhang Liao and others seemed to have seen the original challenge under Xiapi City again, and they couldn't help but sweat secretly in their hearts.
However, I am not worried about my lord.
Instead, worry about the other person.
This battle was almost like child's play.
During the military meeting last night, nothing else was discussed.
Just one thing has been finalized.
Just wait for the opponent's generals to fall from their horses, immediately capture them, capture Sun Ce and other generals, and take advantage of the situation when the opponent is leaderless and the morale of the army is in chaos, directly attack with troops, and take Wancheng in one go.
As soon as this plan came out, even Guo Fengxiao was made to laugh.
However, since it was decided by the Lord himself.
Of course it has to be implemented.
As a result, the ridiculous thing happened that Zhang Kun, riding alone, ran to the opponent's formation and challenged him.
"Could it be that the little overlord of Jiangdong will only rely on the city for defense? If so, then I really look down on you. I can only say, you are a tiger father and a dog son. Sun Jian, the fierce tiger in Jiangdong, was so great at the time, but all the sons he gave birth to were...
It’s useless…”
Zhang Kun Shiran stood in front of the formation, an arrow away, riding his horse back and forth, provoking the opponent with words, and hearing smoke rising from the other side's orifices.
Sun Ce couldn't help but burst into anger.
"The little thief is arrogant."
As he speaks, he raises his spear and leaps upon his horse.
"No."
Zhang Zhao and others all spoke out to persuade him: "Chen Yuanzhen is a very brave man. I heard that even Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were defeated by him. My lord, please don't fall for his evil deeds."
"It's just the boast of the world. Cao Cao has lost his spirit after being defeated again and again. In Nanyang Zhang Xiu, even his son died, so it is not surprising that he was defeated. Chen Yuanzhen is just a person who achieves things because of his people.
With Lu Bu's help, I got an advantage, but in my opinion, it's nothing more than that."
What Sun Ce said is actually not wrong.
After all, when news is passed around, there will always be some distortion.
Jiangnan people naturally don't know how Cao Cao was defeated in the Battle of Xuzhou.
Even if they knew and heard the rumors about how tall Chen Yuanzhen was and how tall he was, they were not trustworthy.
In the confrontation between the two formations, how could a man like Sun Ce, who believed in his own bravery, be timid and avoid the enemy?
"This time, no one can compete with me. Isn't that right? Why don't you all join us to defend the battle? Even if the other side has any tricks, it will be extremely difficult to carry them out."
What Sun Ce was worried about was not the problem of being victorious.
He was worried that there was clearly a one-man fighter on the opposite side, and while they were fighting, several people came forward at once.
Of course, if this is the case, it won't be a big problem. With the generals on our side gathered together, we are not afraid of any mishaps.
On the opposite side was actually the leader of an army personally entering the battle formation.
This is a huge opportunity.
As long as that man is captured, the army will be defeated in an instant.
How could he endure it in the face of such great benefits?
"What if you come forward and scare him away? No, I will personally go into battle and kill Chen Yuanzhen, and you will cover up later..."
Sun Ce rode his horse forward, but no one could stop him.
They're all on standby, ready to step forward at any time.
"I finally understand how you died?"
Seeing Sun Ce leading the way, holding a spear, he rushed forward with murderous intent.
Zhang Kun couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This man's blood was flowing all over his body. The starting point of his spear was like holding a mountain. His energy penetrated the blade for more than half a foot, cutting through the air with a roar. Even if Zhang Fei fought with him, he would definitely not get the slightest benefit.
No wonder the generals were fighting for days, but Xuzhou's soldiers and horses did not take any advantage.
What made Zhang Kun laugh was not that the other party was lacking in skills.
It was Sun Ce's response.
He could never take off the label of "underestimating the enemy and rushing in".
"Take my shot."
