Chapter 528 Revenge for Jun
The temple was still noisy about the withdrawal of troops, but on the Guishuang battlefield, Sun Jian and others ushered in the most difficult battle.

Everyone said that King Guishuang was fatuous, and he hadn't learned any of the qualities or abilities of the previous kings. He voluntarily gave up the frontier areas, insulted the princes in the country, and even forced them to turn against him. There is no parallel between the superiors. , while in the country, the tax on the common people was lowered, the tax on the nobles was increased, and they tried every means to restrict the local officials, and wanted to transfer the appointment of officials to the palace.

His deeds angered a large number of nobles. He did not value these noble people at all, and even appointed a low-born Hay as the general to manage the Sogdia region. However, the nobles still could not resist King Guishuang. It was because he was loved by the soldiers and had a high prestige in the army. At the same time, he had an elite army of 3 people who completely obeyed his orders.

Although there are only 3 people, these people are the same as the northern and southern armies of the Han Dynasty. They are standing troops. They do not engage in farming and mulberry. They practice and prepare for war all day long. He wiped out nearly 1 miscellaneous soldiers in Sogdia. During the battle with the Han Dynasty, King Guishuang did not suffer any injuries as Dong Zhuo had guessed.

Most of the Guishuang army is composed of the elite soldiers of the Guishuang King as the central army, supplemented by the army of the princes. In the battle, most of the casualties are the army of the princes. The more the battle is fought, the weaker the princes will be At that time, most of the soldiers gathered by the princes had died in Dong Zhuo's hands.

King Guishuang sat in the king's tent, with several confidant generals standing beside him. Everyone was no longer as comfortable as the previous few days, and they were all a little worried. The same was true for King Guishuang. I already understood in my heart that Guishuang was unable to resist the Han army. From weapons and equipment, to diet exercises, deployment of battle formations, etc., Guishuang was very different from the big Han.

This is basically the gap in national power. After two generations of emperors ruled, the national power of the Han Dynasty was extremely strong. The soldiers ate the best food, supplemented their physical strength with meat, used the best weapons and equipment, and had many excellent generals. Guishuang is not the case. Over the years, King Guishuang has been trying to solve major domestic issues, and then waged a civil war, which greatly reduced the national power.

Guishuang's national strength was originally inferior to that of a big man, but now the gap is even greater.

King Guishuang knew this in his heart, but he did not stop the war. He continued to send troops of the princes to fight the big man to the death, so as to weaken the strength of the princes. I thought that after a few days, I would negotiate a peace with the Han Dynasty, even if I sent the Sogdian area away, it would be no problem, and then seize the time to settle the domestic affairs, revitalize the national power, and then go to take back Sogdia.

However, Dong Zhuo's crazy attack broke his original plan. He could only quickly bring his most elite soldiers back to the south from Daxia. He believed that the Han army would never have the strength to conquer Guishuang. On the Sogdian battlefield, They could barely replenish their supplies through the Western Regions. When the battle line reached Huacizimo, their food and grass could no longer keep up, let alone Daxia.

It was easy for him to think, but Sun Jian and Cao Cao did not agree. They led more than 4000 people, and they forcibly resisted the army of King Guishuang. This army, that is, the most elite army under King Guishuang, In the battle with Sun Jian, six to 7000 people were killed or injured, and King Guishuang's heart was bleeding. This army cannot be easily wasted. Even if the whole north falls, these elites cannot be wasted like this.

He wholeheartedly wants to integrate Guishuang, like a big man, so that he has absolute power. He feels that only in this way can Guishuang get rid of the decadent trend of recent years. Guishuang is no longer as strong as it used to be, and this An army is the confidence for him to complete all deployments.

"Next, what should we do? Do you have a strategy?" King Guishuang looked at his confidants around him and asked with some concern.

"My lord, although our loss was huge in the last battle, the enemy's loss is also huge. Now, they should be less than 2000 people. As long as they attack for a few hours, they will be wiped out. They can't stop us. Let me attack by force. Within three hours, I will definitely kill the opponent's main general." One of the generals said.

King Guishuang stroked his beard, still hesitating in his heart. The fighting power of this Han army is so high, how much will it cost to destroy them all? If these troops under his command are seriously injured, even if he returns to the south successfully, Will those nobles who have long complained about themselves be detrimental to themselves?

"How about sending envoys to negotiate peace with them?" King Guishuang asked, for the sake of temporary peace, he would bow his head to the Han army to admit his mistakes, and he was willing to accept it. The general who spoke shook his head, Said: "Wang, these people, more than 4000 people, stopped us and refused to let us go to the south. Why?"

"As long as their general is not crazy and wants to defeat us, then they are waiting for the follow-up troops. If I think right, the main force of the Han army must be behind us. They want to besiege us here and wipe them all out. The king continues to hesitate, I am afraid that he is giving the enemy a chance."

King Guishuang was not an indecisive person. When he heard what the general said, he nodded, gritted his teeth, and said, "Forcibly attack the Han army, and destroy them all within three hours. No matter what the casualties are, they are not allowed to withdraw!"

The Guishuang army gathered immediately, ready to fight. The generals rode on horses and read the edict of the Guishuang King everywhere, encouraging the soldiers, and invited priests to bless the army.The soldiers of the Han army who were paying close attention to the Guishuang camp quickly discovered the strangeness of the Guishuang army, and quickly reported it to the general Sun Jian. Sun Jian and Cao Cao went out of the camp together to observe the Guishuang army that was about to move.

"They are going to attack." Sun Jian said coldly.

"It seems that they have made up their minds to destroy us completely. These tens of thousands of people are dispatched at the same time, which is extremely disadvantageous to us. If they fight recklessly, they may not be able to support Dong Gong's army." Cao Cao said, but he But there was no worry on his face. He looked at Sun Jian and said, "Wentai, it seems that we can only act according to the strategy discussed yesterday."

Sun Jian nodded, turned his head, looked at the hills and ravines in the distance, looked at them for a moment, and said, "So, Mr. Cao will take the lead in setting up the army first. I will go and give instructions." Cao Cao nodded and led the soldiers who had already prepared They became busy around, making various arrangements, and some soldiers quickly evacuated towards the rear.

Sun Jian walked to the left, and Sun Ce was tightening the saddle. Hundreds of soldiers behind him were also holding the reins, waiting. Sun Jian walked up to Sun Ce, looked at the busy Sun Ce, and did not speak for a long time. Sun Ce finished cleaning up. , Turning around, he saw his father standing behind him, he hurried to meet him, Sun Jian looked at his face, Sun Ce didn't have the slightest fear or hesitation.

There was even some joy on his face. Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand, straightened his armor, and said in a low voice: "Be careful. Just harass, don't fight."

"Yeah." Sun Ce nodded, clenched the hilt of his sword tightly.

But in the Han army camp, Cao Cao looked at the dozens of people in front of him, sighed helplessly, and couldn't speak, but the soldiers didn't care, and said with a smile; It was a worthy death, and I hope Mr. Cao can help us and take good care of our family."

"Your wife, I will support her myself!"

Cao Cao bowed to them.

With the sound of drums, the Guishuang army set off together. The Guishuang cavalry was on the flanks, and the infantry advanced step by step. There was no confusion. It can be seen that the level of the generals in charge of the army is not low. When they set off, the Han army did not send anyone to fight, but they also beat the drums. However, the sound of the drums was quickly drowned out, making it hard to hear.

From the tent of the Han army, a cavalry suddenly rushed out and charged towards the main force of Guishuang. The general of Guishuang did not panic, and the soldiers were still advancing slowly, not being frightened by the hundreds of people in this area. However, Sun Ce saw that there was no way to disturb their formation, so he could only rein in his horse halfway and fled in a hurry. The Guishuang people rushed to the camp of the Han army, but at this time, the place was already empty and there was no one.

From here, one can still see the Han army retreating towards the rear. Thousands of people are still walking extremely fast. The general thought for a moment, but decided not to send cavalry to pursue them. He knew the place they were going to. Relying on the mountains, there is no retreat. They must be eliminated before the army can safely withdraw to the south.

Otherwise, you have to face their endless harassment all the time.

The camp of the Han army is very poor, there is filth like horse manure everywhere, General Guishuang is complaining in his heart, how does the general of the Han army run the army, can people still live here?However, this camp is quite large, not to mention 4000 people, even tens of thousands of people, it seems not difficult, General Guishuang thought to himself, snorted coldly, shook his head, the Han army withdrew quickly, I didn't even have time to pack a lot of luggage.

Money, food, and some weapons and equipment were scattered on the ground.

If the main general was not still there, the soldiers would have gone to loot them long ago. Since the other party is retreating to a dead end, the general is not in a hurry. He ordered the generals in the army to collect these luggage and reward the soldiers. The order, the soldiers were extremely happy, and their morale was greatly boosted, so they began to search around. The general looked around, but suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart.

In the distance, Cao Cao looked at the camp of the Han army, and shouted angrily: "Go faster, take a step slower, don't blame me for killing on the spot!"

If the people of Guishuang look closely, they will know that these are not soldiers of the Han army, but civilians of Guishuang. Only in the rear and in the front are there some soldiers of the Han army. Walking towards the mountain, these Guishuang people were tied together, their heads were lowered, their faces were full of fear, and Cao Cao kept roaring: "I will let you go in an hour, if you dare to resist, That is a dead end!"

Guishuang soldiers were searching in the camp, happily picked up the scattered gold on the ground, raised their heads, and saw a hideous Han soldier, he roared, and the soldier killed him with a knife!

At the same time, many soldiers of the Han army appeared around the camp. At that moment, the tents burned, and the fire became bigger instantly. The surrounding tents caught fire at the same time. The flames billowed and continued to expand. , the tents sprinkled with spirits, and the food and grass placed everywhere played a huge role at this moment, and those filthy things covered up their smell very well.

The horse neighed, and General Guishuang roared, telling the soldiers to break through quickly!
However, the fire started to burn from the periphery. With the help of the soldiers of the Han army, it spread continuously in an instant. The soldiers of Guishuang howled in horror and fled in all directions. Coughing, they cried bitterly, looking for a way to leave, but they were squeezed into this camp and trampled on each other. The general shouted anxiously, but the order could not reach the ears of many soldiers.

The soldiers could only break out towards the fire, but there was a cavalry hovering around the camp. Even if they escaped from the fire, they couldn't escape the spear in Sun Ce's hand! !
At that moment, King Guishuang walked out of the main tent in shock, looking at the flames billowing in the distance, his eyes widened, he was at a loss!
"kill!!!"

From the left side of the Guishuang camp, the Han army came out. The leader was Sun Jian. He led the real Han soldiers, more than 2000 people, to the empty Guishuang camp!

But on the top of the mountain, Cao Cao laughed loudly when he saw the blazing flames in the distance. All the arrangements were smoother than he thought!
"Heroic Battalion!!! We will avenge you all!!!"
