Chapter 522 Sun Ce's Death
Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong both stopped Sun Ce and Cheng Pu, and the four of them were killed in a group, without any distinction between the two. However, there were only a few personal soldiers around Sun Ce and Cheng Pu. Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong fought a chariot battle with their troops that were overwhelmingly superior to the other side. They fought with the other side for a few rounds and then retreated back. The other generals and generals in their army caught the other side and fought for a few rounds, and then rushed forward to fight for a few rounds, which was to consume the strength of Sun Ce and Cheng Pu.
Within a dozen rounds, only Sun Cechengpu and the other two were left, and Sun Cechengpu's war horses were both injured and fell to the ground.
Seeing that more and more Linjiang soldiers were surrounding him, they knew that there was no hope of breaking through, and their eyes showed a desperate expression. Cheng Pu beside him shouted: "Go away, please leave, Cheng Pu will come here to cut off the back!"
While he said, he used the steel knife in his hand to slash a Linjiang soldier to the ground. Then he swung a crescent-shaped gun shadow in his hand and forced the surrounding Linjiang soldiers to retreat several steps. Sun Ce took the opportunity to take a few steps from the open space, jumped onto the back of a war horse, whipped the horse and rushed outwards. However, Cheng Pu was still in place, fighting desperately.
In fact, the two of them hit each other's thoughts. Because Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei were ordered to kill Sun Ce, they wanted to capture Cheng Pu alive. When Sun Ce and Cheng Pu were mixed together, they were inevitably allowed to be afraid of the enemy. The separation of the two gave Linjiang Army a chance.
Before Sun Ce could break out for more than a dozen battles, arrows from all sides attacked him like a sudden rain. Sun Ce tried his best to block the gun, but he almost used up his strength, so the speed of the gun was naturally unable to rise. Five or six arrows shot in from the gaps in the gun flower. One of them hit Sun Ce's thigh, and the other hit the front chest of the war horse. The war horse neighed and knelt forward. Sun Ce was about to get up, but Zhang Fei had already urged the horse to gallop. Sun Ce was too late to do anything at this time, and tried his best to push his body to one side, but Zhang Fei's Baba Snake Spear still ruthlessly penetrated his body.
Cheng Pu just raised his eyes at this time and saw the spear tip coming out of Sun Ce's vest from a distance. He yelled anxiously: "Master!" Huang Zhong took the opportunity to be in chaos, and the back of the big knife hit his helmet with a bang, knocking him unconscious on the spot.
When Liu Bei saw his second general succeeding, Sun Ce died and Cheng Pu was captured, he was overjoyed and quickly urged the army to step forward and ordered: "Search carefully, don't leave a living mouth for the other party. Even if the body is corpse, three swords must be added!"
Zhang Fei pulled out his waist knife and was about to cut off Sun Ce's head, but Liu Bei stopped him and said, "Why is Sun Ce also the king's body? Let's leave him with a complete body. Besides, chopping off his head is obviously not a task by the bandit."
Under Liu Bei's personal command, the Linjiang Army cleaned the battlefield for four hours, leaving no trace at all before they could retreat. From beginning to end, most of the Linjiang generals did not know that they were attacking the Wu army, and they thought that as the news above said, these enemy troops were all Wu army disguised by the Liang army.
In the Wu army camp in Laoyin Mountain, Taishi Ci was reading a military book. Ling Bing hurriedly ran in and stammered in: "General, it's not bad. The king was caught in an ambush and died!"
Taishici jumped up from the bench as if he was sitting on the brazier. He also fantasized that he had heard it wrong, so he grabbed Ling Bing's collar and shouted: "You say it again, make it clear!"
"General, the ambush of the unknown enemy among the kings was dead. It was the generals in Hepu City who saw that the king's soldiers and horses had not returned on time for several days, so they sent scouts to search everywhere. As a result, they found dead bodies all over our army in a valley, and found the remains of the king in it!"
"Oh!" Taishici's head buzzed as if he was hit by a sledgehammer. After a while, Taishici woke up and asked again: "Where is Cheng Pu, didn't Cheng Pu follow the king?"
"Report to General Cheng Pu, he did follow the king to fight, but he did not find his body at the scene. Instead, the body of his mount was found, which is probably a great danger. Perhaps his body was swallowed by jackals and beasts."
Taishici's mood is now mixed. He is shocked, angry and at a loss. He sits on a thorn chair, holds his head with his hands, and thinks for a while before he can figure it out.
Now his first priority is to inform Jianye's Wu Palace urgently and quickly select a royal member to inherit the throne. Secondly, once the news spreads, the morale of the Wu army will definitely be greatly reduced. Moreover, the Wu army has lost its troops and generals at the moment, so it is impossible for Hepu to defend it. He wants to take the remaining Wu army from Hepu to the South China Sea as soon as possible.
Taishici immediately selected the fifteen most capable people from all the soldiers and scouts in the army. They were divided into five groups and sent letters to Jianye Feiqi in batches. The reason for using five groups was to ensure that at least one group of people could send information to Jianye in time.
Then he raised his troops and quietly retreated in the morning mist. However, this still did not escape the eyes of Liang Jun mountain scouts. Although the Liang Jun mountain scouts suffered serious damage in the battle, the remaining troops were lurking in the forests around Laoyin Mountain, monitoring the Wu army's every move.
Gan Ning and Dian Wei were surprised when they learned that Taishi Ci had suddenly evacuated. Both of them could not figure out the other party's intentions. In the end, Dian Wei first proposed: "Don't hesitate, we should chase him quickly."
Gan Ning shook his head and said, "Wait, wait until the fog dissipates, I'm worried that there is a fraud. The Wu army will never withdraw for no reason."
"Hey, Brother Xingba. According to the situation obtained by the scouts a few days ago, the Wu army soldiers changed three meals a day to two meals, and suddenly evacuated today. What happened to the Wu army in the rear, and it would not be a fraud. If the fog dissipates, the Wu army will no longer be seen. Let them retreat into Hepu City, we will have to work hard to miss the opportunity to defeat them."
Gan Ning said worriedly: "Then at least we have to send elite troops to investigate so that our army can pass through this valley, otherwise the risk is too great."
Dian Wei patted his chest and said, "Then let someone take some Viking soldiers to chase the enemy! If there is really an ambush, someone will definitely find them."
Most of the hour later, arrows with flame-tailed arrows rose one after another from the fog. This was a signal sent by Dian Wei, indicating that the valley had been cleared and no enemy troops were encountered.
Only then did Gan Ning believe that the Wu army had really retreated. Fang regretted that he had delayed a lot of time due to his hesitation, so he quickly activated the army that had been prepared to travel through the valley and pursue the Wu army. With Gan Ning's order, the Liang army infantry and cavalry and chariots were rushing into the valley.
