Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

Dong Huangjun's unusual movement made Sun Jian really panic.

The lack of food was fatal enough, and the scouts were completely killed. This made Sun Jian's troops actually deaf and blind, unable to figure out the movements of Dong Huang's troops, and unable to contact other princes!

What's even more annoying is that for three days in a row, Dong Huang's troops would clamor to leave the camp every night, as if they wanted to steal the camp, which made Sun Jian's troops exhausted.

"This can't go on like this!"

Sun Jian angrily wielded the ancient ingot knife and cut off the table, as if cutting off Dong Huang's dog's head.

"Lord, we don't have enough food and grass, and the morale of our men is low. We must retreat as soon as possible!"

Cheng Pu, the number one warrior under Sun Jian, suggested.

"There are many cavalry in the bandit army. I'm afraid it won't be easy to retreat. Otherwise, I'll leave the rear behind!"

Han Dang was very loyal and wanted to take over the job of the Queen.

"We can't just leave like this. We have to fight until Dong Zhuo's thief army doesn't dare to attack easily. Otherwise, the troops will have no fighting spirit and the retreat will turn into a rout!"

Zu Mao also put forward his own opinions.

"I've made up my mind, let's fight first!"

Sun Jian said decisively.

So, on the fourth night of being harassed by Dong Huang, Jiangdong Tiger showed his cunning side.

Sun Jian did not choose to go out to the camp to fight during the day. Instead, that night, he organized an elite force and launched a surprise attack on Dong Huang's troops who were performing routine harassment missions at night.

The harassing troops who did not expect that Sun Jian dared to launch an attack were immediately defeated. Sun Jian led 5,000 elites to cover them all the way to Sishui Pass, and then ordered the army to take the opportunity to attack the city.

Aerial ladders were added to Guancheng, and Sun Jian's generals Han Dang and Zu Mao took the lead and led the troops to climb.

The main focus is on surprise.

After all, who would have thought that an army that was exhausted and about to run out of food, like a turtle in a urn, would dare to fight back?

If ordinary generals were guarding the gate, it would be possible for them to overturn! However, at night at Sishui Pass, four famous generals, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Zhang He, and Tai Shi Ci, together with their lieutenants and their own troops, took turns to guard each day.

Each of these four people is a talented general in his own right. Even their lieutenants are not simple figures. As soon as the harassing troops were counterattacked, Xu Huang, who was on duty tonight, realized the problem and ordered his men to be prepared. When Sun Jian asked When the troops were really bold enough to attack the city, the city wall defenders were already ready, and gold juice and other defensive items were already prepared.

"put!"

Xu Huang, who is known for his calmness, gave a cold shout.

In an instant, the soldiers who were well prepared launched an attack using rolling logs, stones, gold juice, fork poles, etc. The siege army suffered a large number of casualties instantly. Occasionally, those who climbed to the top of the city were quickly hacked to death by the superior Dong Zhuo's army.

The ladder where General Han Dang was was knocked over by a fork pole and he fell to the ground, unable to move.

The fierce general Zu Mao succeeded in climbing the city tower and, with his powerful martial arts, killed more than twenty soldiers defending the city, but that was the end of it.

Taishi Ci's deputy general Li Tong, who discovered the abnormality, commanded his personal guards to surround Zu Mao tightly, constantly compressing Zu Mao's room for movement.

Zu Mao was also brave. Facing the swarm of personal guards, he chopped down two of them with his sword. However, Li Tong's personal guards were not ordinary soldiers. Each of them wore two or three layers of heavy armor, and there were shield soldiers holding large shields. Zu Mao's sword was curled up and it was difficult to chop.

However, the space at the top of the city was small. Zu Mao was quickly pressed against by more than a dozen heavily armored soldiers. Not only was it difficult for him to move, but his sword was taken away. Zu Mao tried to resist, but was stabbed to death in the end.

From beginning to end, Xu Huang, who was commanding at the top of the city, never glanced at Zu Mao, who was still staring at death, and Li Tong had no interest in a duel with Zu Mao.

In a world where Wushuang cannot be opened, personal bravery is not that important in front of the elite soldiers with high morale in the establishment.

Of course, if a hundred Zu Mao can come to the city, they might be able to open up the situation, but there is only one Zu Mao.

The storming only lasted for half an hour, and Sun Jian's men lost more than a thousand people. Two generals were killed and one was seriously injured. Most of the ladders used to attack the city were lost, and this was because the archers defending the city at night were unable to take advantage of their range. Down.

No matter how brave Sun Jian is, he still knows that this sneak attack failed.

With the thundering sound of horse hooves, Sun Jian knew that he had to withdraw his troops. If he didn't leave, he would be flanked by Dong Zhuo's cavalry.

"withdraw!"

Sun Jian’s eyes were filled with tears!

He was not afraid of failure, but Zu Mao's death and Han Dang's serious injury made him extremely sad and angry.

Two of the four most important old brothers he brought out from Changsha - Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Zu Mao - are now dead, and whether Han Dang can survive is still unknown. How can he Don’t be sad or angry!

However, no matter how sad and angry, no matter how unwilling you are, you still have to run for your life!

Sun Jian could only escape in embarrassment with his men.

When Dong Huang climbed onto the city tower under the escort of Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhou Tai and others, he only saw Sun Jian wearing a red turban disappearing in the dark night, and behind Sun Jian's troops and horses, the soldiers who attacked from the city gate Zhang Ji, Hua Xiong, and Zhao Cen, who came out from both sides, were in hot pursuit.

What's interesting is that with the horse power of the cavalry, they could have directly caught up with Sun Jian's army, which was mainly infantry, but they just fell behind leisurely.

"Congratulations, lord, the Jiangdong Tigers have been defeated!"

Jia Xu lightly stroked his beard and congratulated.

"It's all thanks to the soldiers!"

Dong Huang also laughed happily.

During this period, Dong Huang also learned some knowledge about marching and fighting from the military generals. He knew that the reason why Hua Xiong and others did not annihilate Sun Jian's troops in a field battle was actually to force Sun Jian's troops into the camp. , and they can follow Sun Jian's troops into the camp!

After all, under normal circumstances, if the cavalry directly attacks the heavily guarded camp, it would be like a 28-year-old attacking the Stone Maiden. It would definitely result in heavy losses and little success!

But if you take advantage of the opportunity to cover up the enemy and enter the camp, it is like a waterway with the middle gate wide open. You can go straight down the stream and achieve great success in one fell swoop!

But it was impossible for the enemy camp not to open the door and let the defeated soldiers in, because their leader Sun Jian was one of the defeated soldiers! However, Sun Jian could only run to the camp, because Dong Zhuo's army was all over the mountains and plains. If he fled elsewhere, let alone whether the camp without its general would collapse, he himself might not be able to escape under siege and interception!

Therefore, the camp was the only place where Sun Jian could marshal his troops and attack.

At this time, Sun Jian could only hope that Cheng Pu could open the door in time to let him in, and then close it in time! So that he can get some breathing space.

However, reality did not change according to Sun Jian's will. The overwhelming defeat is not just talk. The moment the camp door opened, everything was out of control.

It should be said that Cheng Pu was also considered a good general. In order to resist the attack of Dong Huang's cavalry, he set up a spear formation near the entrance of the camp and let the broken troops enter from both sides of the spear formation to prevent the broken troops from rushing into the formation.

But although the idea was good, the defeated troops couldn't care about this. In addition, it was in the dark night. In a short time, the defeated troops rushed into the spear formation, and the heavy cavalry of Hua Xiong, Zhang Ji and Zhao Cen also took the opportunity to come in. !

At the same time, behind Sun Jian's army's camp, Zhang Liao's troops, who had the rank of Cao Ma, also quietly moved over. Taking advantage of the chaos in Sun Jian's army's camp and the great changes that attracted the attention of the guards, they broke through. The fence of the rear camp rushed in from the rear camp, forming a pincer attack with Hua Xiong and Zhao Cen's troops!

What made Sun Jianjun's situation worse was that Dong Huangjun's infantry also decisively seized the opportunity and quickly followed up!

At this time, Sun Jianjun's defeat was inevitable!
