Hearing the noise of war on the other side of the Si River, Sun Jian’s camp was waving flags, and most of the soldiers left the camp, Feng Kai was in a dilemma.

According to Xinpi's plan, he should launch a fierce attack on Sun Jian's camp at this moment and attack Sun Jian with Zhu Ling. Zhu Ling had 20,000 people, and he had a certain advantage in military strength to make up for the lack of combat power. At least he could fight for both sides and hurt Sun Jian severely. But the situation has changed a little now. Because Gao Ping has not yet made a delay in sending troops to reinforce, he has only 13,000 people now. He originally thought that Wei Meng could attack Gao Ping quickly and rushed back to meet, but Wei Meng never came back and the gap in military strength could not be filled.

The military strength is almost gone and the combat power is insufficient. Should I attack?

Feng Kai hesitated for a long time and decided to launch an attack. This matter involved whether Yuan Tan could successfully kill Sun Ce. He knew that he was dying, but he could only grit his teeth and persevere. The attack would suffer a lot, but he made great contributions and did not attack, which affected the decisive battle between Yuan Tan and Sun Ce. No matter how many soldiers he saved, he might not be able to save his life.

Feng Kai ordered the drum beat and commanded the soldiers of each battalion to go out of the camp according to the pre-developed plan. The sound of the war drums exploded. In addition to the left-behind soldiers of the baggage camp, ten thousand soldiers rushed out of the camp and launched an attack on Zhu Zhi's camp.

Zhu Zhi was prepared and relied on the camp to defend. He had been waiting for this moment and made sufficient preparations. He not only set up a solid camp, but also dug wide and deep trenches in front of the camp and introduced them into Sishui, just like a small city. Feng Kai's soldiers had to go forward in the rain of arrows, filling the trenches and attack forcibly.

The two sides shot each other through the camp bars, and arrows were like rain. From time to time, soldiers were caught. As the attacking side, Feng Kai suffered greater losses, and nearly a hundred people were lost in just one charge. Under Zhu Zhi's tenacious blockade, Yuan's attack was extremely difficult.

Feng Kai and others were anxious. At this time, he received an order from Xin Pi: Yuan Tan was frustrated in besieging Sun Ce and asked Feng Kai to transfer 10,000 people to reinforce Yuan Tan.

Feng Kai was so angry that he cursed. He didn't know who to scold, nor who he could scold. Maybe it was Man Chong, maybe it was Wei Meng, maybe it was Xinpi, or even Yuan Tan. Anyway, he was so panicked that he felt uncomfortable not scolding people. How could the war become like this? Why did Man Chong serve Sun Ce and defend Gaoping to the death? Wei Meng had superior troops, so why couldn't he conquer Gaoping?

The most outrageous thing is that Yuan Tan has a military advantage of more than ten times, so how could he be frustrated? Also, he surrounded Sun Ce yesterday, why didn’t he launch an attack overnight and insist on waiting until this morning?

Feng Kai cursed. After he finished his scolding, he had to accept the order and transfer 10,000 people to reinforce Yuan Tan. In order to raise 10,000 people, he had to send out all the three thousand soldiers guarding the baggage battalion and leave 3,000 people to confront Zhu Zhi. The attack has become a luxury, and it is no longer easy to stop Zhu Zhi.

Ten thousand people had just been allocated, and Feng Kai received another message from Cao Ang: Yuan Tan is retreating and the situation is dangerous. Please ask Feng Kai to give up the siege of Sun Jian and immediately retreat to the vicinity of Rencheng.

Feng Kai was skeptical. He had a good impression of Cao Ang, but the news of Cao Ang was too bizarre to believe. It was barely understandable that Yuan Tan was defeated by Sun Ce, but it was too outrageous to be defeated by Sun Ce. The gap in military strength between the two sides was too big. Although Yuan Tan was not a famous general, he was not a mediocre player. He would not be defeated, nor would he lose so quickly. Moreover, Cao Ang recently had a relationship with Yuan Tan and could not believe everything. Cao Ang's character is fine, but the Chen Gong under his command was too bad and he had to be guarded against.

Feng Kai ignored Cao Ang’s news and led 10,000 people to the battlefield to reinforce Yuan Tan.

——

On the other side of Sishui, Lu Su stood on the high tower, saw the changes in Feng Kai's camp, and then sent someone to send a message to Qin Song of the Central Army: Feng Kai's main force has left, Zhu Zhi is enough to defend the position, and our camp can attack at any time and wait for the orders of the Central Army.

Qin Song quickly responded: Sun Jian had already left the camp to attack Zhu Ling, but the troops sent by Zhu Ling seemed to be back. Sun Jian might have insufficient troops. Please ask Lu Su to attack from the north side, stop the withdrawn troops, and buy time for Sun Jian.

After receiving the order, Lu Su immediately led his troops out of the camp. His subordinates lined up in the camp and were ready to attack at any time. Now he was just changing directions. His camp was originally on the north side of the camp, leaving the camp and heading westward to Zhu Ling's left wing.

Shortly after leaving the camp, Lu Su met Huang Gai again. Huang Gai also received Qin Song's order. He handed over the task of defending Cao Ang's troops in Rencheng to Quan Rou, and led his troops to assist Sun Jian in attacking Zhu Ling. His mission was almost the same as Lu Su, attacking Zhu Ling's withdrawn troops.

Lu Su held the reins in his hand and rode his horse forward while saying to Huang Gai: "I have a plan. If the captain wants to listen, he can make a great contribution."

Huang Gai glanced at Lu Su and was very dissatisfied with Lu Su's attitude. However, he was neither Zhu Zhi, Cheng Pu, nor Wu Jing. He had limited qualifications under Sun Jian and had a good relationship with Sun Ce. Lu Su was a general invited by Sun Ce, so he had to give him three points of thinness.

"I would like to give you advice."

Lu Su pointed at the distance with a horse whip. "In order to siege the general to fight against rebels, Yuan Tan showed all his elite troops and even moved the most unmovable front army. The central army would definitely be weak. If the captain could penetrate the central army directly, take his baggage, and burn it with fire, the Yuan army would inevitably be defeated."

Huang Gai's heart moved, and his eyes looked at Lu Su with a little more distorted look. "Then can you stop Zhu Ling's withdrawal alone?"

Lu Su smiled and squeezed his eyes. "The time can't be too long, at most two hours."

Huang Gai couldn't help laughing and shook. It turned out that birds of feathers flocked together, and Sun Ce was confident. Lu Su he invited was no exception. He wanted to block 10,000 people with two thousand people. However, Lu Su's suggestion was indeed good, and he pointed directly at the critical point. After burning the baggage, no matter how many troops the Yuan army had, it would be useless. Once morale collapsed, it would be much easier to chase.

"Since that's the case, it's a blessing." Huang Gaigong bowed. Although this sounds funny and is suspected of violating military orders, he decided to take a look. If Yuan Tan's central army was really weak, he would set fire. If it was difficult to quickly defeat it, it would not be too late for him to retreat and fight with Lu Su. On the battlefield, he would inevitably have to adapt to the situation. Whether Sun Jian or Sun Ce, he never asked his subordinates to follow his advice. As long as he could complete the task, he could make his own decisions.

Huang Gai called a messenger and asked him to rush back to the central army to report his new trends to Qin Song. He did not mention Lu Su, but Lu Su just suggested that he would make the decision. If something happened, he would take full responsibility. If he made contributions, it would not be too late to give Lu Su a part of it.

Huang Gai bowed and said goodbye to Lu Su, and ordered his subordinates to advance at full speed, crossing the two almost empty camps of Yuan's army, and attacking Yuan Tan's central army.

When Huang Gai's troops grabbed the front and gradually moved farther away, Lu Su looked at Huang Gai's excited back and laughed. He kicked the horse lightly, passed by the soldiers who were moving forward, and shouted loudly: "Go forward at full speed and let Zhu Ling see the majesty of my Jiangdong soldiers."
