Overlord!

Chapter 202 The bridge, my bridge

Jiangdong's army of [-] cavalry bypassed Hefei with flags fluttering. As they marched, their uniforms were red and their black armor was shining brightly. Wherever they passed, the soldiers and people of Huainan were shocked.

This time, a real [-] elite Jiangdong army was dispatched. The red flags in the sky stretched for dozens of miles.

As the commander-in-chief of Jiangdong, Sun Ce personally commanded [-] elite troops. There were also a large number of brave and skilled generals in the army. Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Lu Meng, Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, etc. were all powerful generals in the world. .

After detouring from the west side of Hefei, the army quickly headed towards Shouchun via Feishui.

Feishui is directly connected to Shouchun, and the army can reach Shouchun directly by going down the river.

This is the danger of national subjugation and species extinction!If Shouchun was besieged, Yuan Shu would be completely disgraced.

Yuan Shu really couldn't bear this situation and urgently ordered his general Qiao Rui to lead his troops to intercept Sun Ce.

The military message from Shouchun to Hefei was as fast as snowflakes. Although Qiao Rui knew that the chance of victory was slim, he had to organize his army to leave the city and march forward.

When they arrived at Feishui, they saw that the formation had been completed, and the [-] Jiangdong cavalry with banner hunting had been waiting here. Qiao Rui knew that this battle was in danger!

The two sides faced off in a grand formation, with more than [-] people each, but Sun Ce was full of confidence!Worried that Qiao Rui would withdraw into the city, he even took the initiative to raise troops to counterattack, and then formed an array on the bank of Feishui.

After the array was formed, Sun Ce began to personally direct the battle and said to the generals: "In this battle, we Xu Yao will show off our power, counterattack and defeat the enemy, and defeat the enemy in one battle!"

"Generals, listen to the order! With Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Tai Shici's troops, attack the east of the enemy's formation!"

"Use Lü Meng, Gan Ning, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai to attack the west of the enemy's formation!"

"Every department needs to work hard and strive to defeat the enemy!"

The generals immediately stood up and saluted, and with great courage, they shouted: "I will fight to the death to defeat this thief for the general."

Sun Ce waved his riding whip and ordered: "Every general returns to his team, beat the drum and raise the flag!"

As the red banner of the Chinese army was hoisted high and the first tong drum sounded majesticly, the soldiers of all ministries immediately stood up from the ground with spears and crossbows in hand, forming a tight formation.

This pleasing and tidy scene immediately chilled the hearts of Qiao Rui and other generals of the Huainan Army.

With such neat soldiers and such a strict formation, the enemy's combat power can be seen from the inside. The enemy must be well-trained and have high morale.

Qiao Rui's scalp was numb, and he was frightened when he saw Sun Lang's large vermilion banner flying high in the opponent's center.

Sun Lang announced to everyone without any secret that he was with the Chinese army, but Qiao Rui really couldn't muster the courage to lead his army to attack his Chinese army and kill the generals and capture the flag.

The enemy's second drumbeat has already sounded, and the dull drumbeats are passionate and incessant. At this time, the soldiers of all departments have moved forward together, with flags held high and heavy iron armor, and they are slowly pressing forward like a forest.

Qiao Rui took a deep breath and shouted an order: "Every unit forms a formation and holds on until the enemy's veterans are tired!"

Qiao Rui knew very well that he was not as good as Sun Ce in terms of bravery and courage, or the strength of his soldiers. It was beyond his ability to compete with the enemy. Therefore, the key to victory or defeat was to block Sun Ce's fierce attack and knock him back.

As long as the Hefei army can hold on until dusk, and then launch a counterattack with an elite division, there is a good chance of winning this battle!

But the course of the war was not as smooth as he imagined.

Mainly because Jiangdong Wangshi had already predicted that the Hefei garrison would not dare to make a desperate move and attack with all its strength, so they formed a formation spanning ten miles!
This formation is extremely broad from east to west, but slightly thin from north to south.

If Qiao Rui can gather elites and attack one of them with [-] elites, it may cause a little chaos in Jiangdong's display.

However, Qiaorui did not dare to turn from defense to attack, so he arranged a display ten miles east of the Yangtze River and attacked with great force.

Although the two armies were about the same size, due to the wider spread of Jiangdong's army on the battlefield, it looked as if Jiangdong's army was attacking with more than 4. It looked like 2 people were attacking [-].

Especially at the intersection of the two armies on the front line, Jiangdong's army was outnumbered and fought hard to take the lead. However, Qiao Rui's troops only had a small number of troops able to engage in the battle. The large arrays in the rear had no time to engage the enemy, and the front line was defeated.

How can these Huainan soldiers withstand the charge of Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Lu Meng and other fierce generals?
Especially Zhang Fei, who is known as the enemy of ten thousand people, the tiger and wolf general!
He personally led the elite soldiers to attack a square formation, and in just a moment of fighting, he beheaded three levels.He shouted heroically on the battlefield: "I am Zhang Yide, who dares to fight for life and death?"

With such a ten thousand enemy, even if the front is full of sharp blades, no one can stop it!

When it comes to the former, casualties follow one after another!When Sergeant Yuan saw him coming to kill him with blood all over his body, they were all invincible.

Gan Ning, the fighting general of Jiangdong, was even more brave and good at fighting, and he was the best at attacking, riding, and shooting.This was the first time that he had shown his strength in front of Sun Ce, so he ordered that his two hundred cavalrymen all wear vermilion brocade robes, embroidered with golden black birds, fine black armor, and red war robes, and charge directly at Yuan Jun with their iron cavalry.

More than two hundred horsemen, with red robes fluttering and wings spread out, galloped into the formation, like a vermilion bird of destiny, directly breaking up the enemy's formation.Gan Ning led his troops to rush forward and killed more than ten thieves. The enemy army was in chaos!

Sun Ce was overjoyed. Looking at the bright red robes and dazzling cavalry, he said: "Good! Our general is brave and brave, but the enemy's formation is in chaos! Beat the drums and order the entire army to attack!"

As the majestic drum beat sounded, the sound shook for dozens of miles.After the dragon bird assault cavalry and thousands of black armor cavalry came out with surprise troops!

More than two thousand elite cavalry, with red robes and mysterious armor, and cold blades, lined up behind the enemy to attack the enemy from a flank, causing the bandit army to collapse immediately!
The phalanxes collapsed one after another, and soon the entire enemy army collapsed!

From the moment Qiao Rui didn't dare to start his formation, his victory or defeat in this battle was already decided.

The Jiangdong King's Division was stationed for more than ten miles, and the enemy troops could not see where Jiangdong's cavalry was moving!
Chen Wuqin led more than [-] black-armored cavalry, including dragon and bird cavalry, to fight with the army. From dawn to noon, more than [-] people were beheaded. Many people died in the ditches and trenches, and the thieves were defeated.

Qiao Rui led his troops to collapse, and Sun Ce counterattacked with his troops, winning all three battles.

Qiao Rui then merged with Feishui into the bank of Shaopi and surrendered with three thousand troops.

At this time, we are already in Shouchun, less than a hundred miles away from Shouchun City!
Qiao Rui is General Zhong!He was worshiped as General Jianwu by Yuan Shu!He has full power to control the military affairs in the southeast and is responsible for the defense of Huainan.

This kind of general was defeated all the way, and was finally forced to lead his troops to surrender to the enemy less than a hundred miles away from Shouchun.

This naturally caused shock in Shouchun. The city of Shouchun was frightened three times a day, and officials, generals and their families kept fleeing.

But Sun Ce had no time to pay attention to the reaction in Shouchun City, because he was hosting a grand banquet for Qiao Rui at this time!
It's not okay if it's not grand, this is the father-in-law he and Zhou Yu share!
There is a daughter in the family, who is beautiful in the country and famous in Jianghuai.

But there is a huge problem!

After Qiao Rui heard that Sun Ce was interested in his daughter, she was very interested at first and was so excited that she wanted to send her daughter to Sun Ce's house immediately.But after hearing that Sun Ce was interested in both of his daughters, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he said with some embarrassment: "How did the Marquis of Wu know the name of my little girl before she has hairpins?"

As Qiao Rui finished speaking, Sun Ce suddenly felt a big headache!

Only then did he remember that in history, Sun Ce and Zhou Yuna had bridges and small bridges. It was three years later.

Now three years ahead of schedule, the bridge is still in good condition, and it has been more than two years old, which is the age of breaking the melon!

But Xiaoqiao is still a little loli!

Sun Ce is not Li Shimin, he is not interested in Little Lolita at all.Empress Changsun was 11 years old when she married him. It is also bizarre that they can get married.

Soochow loves Lolita, that’s someone else’s business, it has nothing to do with him.

My aesthetics have always been very positive, and I only like ladies with thin waists, long legs, and big breasts!
It is best to be a perfect sister Yu with legs longer than her life and breasts bigger than her heart.

Why is Mrs. Mo so favored?Isn’t it because her thin branches bear fruit?
As for Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Cheng was even more stunning because of her pair of peerless beautiful legs, when she took off her skirt and silk shoes!
Now, although Xiaoqiao is a beauty, she is still a little loli, and she really can't do it.

The problem now is that the beauty Sun Ce promised to Zhou Yu is Xiaoqiao.

But Xiaoqiao hasn’t reached hairpin yet, what should I do?
Faced with Qiao Rui's question, Sun Ce could only blame Zhou Yu and said: "In correspondence with Gong Jin, I once heard that all the children in Qiao Gong's house are of national beauty. He once sighed with emotion that his ambition in life is to be a general and marry a general. Mr. Qiao, your family and country are in chaos, this is enough to make you happy!"

After hearing what Sun Ce said, Qiao Rui finally looked relieved.

If it was a letter written by Zhou Yu, it would be understandable.If both he and Wu Hou wanted to marry their beloved daughter, they would naturally give up the bridge to Wu Hou and marry Xiaoqiao themselves.

Moreover, Qiao Rui also met Zhou Gongjin in Shouchun. He was indeed a prodigy in the world.

If the little girl can marry him, it will be enough to comfort her for a lifetime. It is a good match for the two of them to be like each other.This is different from giving it to Wu Hou as a concubine since childhood.

So Qiao Rui thought for a moment and then said: "The Zhou family is a prominent family of Gongqing and a prominent member of the Lujiang River. It would be a great honor for me if I could win over the Zhou family for the Marquis of Wu."

Zhou Yu is still in Shouchun City, and Sun Ce's father-in-law Zhou Shang is also in the city.

Zhou Shang once wrote that after Yuan Shu became emperor, he was extremely unfavorable about Yuan Shu's situation and regretted entering Shouchun.Therefore, he asked Yuan Shu to be the governor of Danyang, but Yuan Shu refused.

Yuan Shu wanted to make Zhou Yu his general, but Zhou Yu saw that Yuan Shu had accomplished nothing in the end, and refused to accept his offer, so he asked to be the chief of Juchao. He wanted to pretend to be Tu and return east, and defected to Sun Ce.

But before Yuan Shu could figure it out, Sun Ce had already decisively raised troops and announced a crusade against him. Then the army went directly up the Ruxu River and went all the way north to isolate Lujiang from Jiujiang.

At this time, no matter how generous Yuan Shu was, he would not dare to use the Zhou family's children.

After all, Zhou Shang had already married his daughter to Sun Ce as his concubine. Although this was not a formal marriage, the two parties still had a close relationship.

He also suspects that both Zhou Shang and Zhou Yu are hiring outsiders. What is their plan?

Therefore, now, Zhou Shang and Zhou Yu are still in Shouchun City.

Qiao Rui said that the reason for winning over the Zhou family for Sun Ce was also based on such considerations.The Zhou family was a prominent family of Gongqing, so Sun Ce wanted to attack Shouchun, so he naturally wanted the help of the Zhou family.

Before attacking Shouchun, Sun Ce would definitely write a letter to Zhou Yu in the city.

But how to write this letter really gave Sun Ce a headache.

What if... Zhou Yu doesn't like Xiaoqiao?
I promised to give him a peerless beauty!
A true man always believes what he says!Moreover, in this world, beautiful women are the most indispensable resource.

Which prince wouldn't trade a beauty for a famous general?

In order to become kings and hegemons, those emperors and princes were willing to use any wealth to win over famous generals.In this world, nothing can be given except the country and mountains. Beauty, famous horses, wealth, and fertile land are all available to everyone.
With Jiangshan, I can find any kind of beauty in the future.

Sharing big and small bridges with Zhou Yu can be regarded as a beautiful talk for a while.Zhou Yu's pairing with Xiao Qiao has been a story for generations, and Sun Ce is also willing to make this a match made in heaven.

But the problem is, what should we do now that Zhou Yu’s good match, Xiaoqiao, is still a 14-year-old girl?
Does Zhou Yu like loli?You should...not only like Sister Yu like you, right?
Sun Ce hesitated and wrote a letter to Zhou Yu: "The beauty has arrived, please return slowly!"

But having said that, the two beauties are still in Shouchun City.

Sun Ce's army must capture Shouchun before they can see the Eternal Beauty Bridge that they have been waiting for.

Qiao Rui was a general of the Zhong family and was very familiar with Huainan's defense situation and military deployment.

Sun Ce said: "Mr. Qiao, Yuan Shu acted arrogantly and went against the grain, and was very unpopular. He alone followed the imperial edict to fight against Ni, but Gong's reputation in Huainan has spread across the world. I hope Mr. Qiao can help me to clear Huainan, conquer Shouchun, and capture Ni." prisoner."

Qiao Rui surrendered, this is no different from the battle of Guandu, Xu You surrendered to Cao!

Moreover, just like Xu You and Cao Cao had been friends for a long time, Qiao Rui had also been friends with Sun Ce for a long time and had always been devoted to Sun Ce.He, Zhang Xun, and Yang Hong were the generals in Yuan Ying who admired Sun Ce the most.

Today, Yuan Shu's sun is setting over the Western Mountains, while Sun Ce is rising like the rising sun, full of vigor and vitality.

Although Qiao Rui was forced to surrender, he was willing to surrender.

After hearing Sun Ce's words of respect, he immediately said solemnly: "Ruicheng knows that Yuan Shu's arrogance is an act that goes against the rules and regulations. In the past, as a general, he did it as a last resort. Now he regrets it, but he still fears it, and dares not to do his best to do it. Auxiliary general?"

"When Yuan Shu's army in Huainan was at its peak, he had [-] men in armor. However, he was defeated by the princes from all directions and lost his troops and generals. Now there are less than [-] troops in Huainan City, and there are only a few generals. Moreover, the people are panicked, and they are at the end of the road."

"If a general leads a large army to besiege it, he will have no intention of decisive victory and will definitely defend the city. The general can take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the counties and besiege Shouchun with an overwhelming army."

Sun Ce was immediately moved and asked with concern: "Outside of Shouchun, Yuan Shu has no army left to use?"

Qiao Rui nodded and said: "Yuan Shu's troops are all ordered to defend the city. Their main forces are only in Shouchun, Zhongli, Hefei, and Longkang. There is no response to each other."

"If the general can take advantage of the provocation to advance, he can block the towns from the rear! Zhongli, in particular, is an important town in the east, with a garrison of ten thousand people and a large number of weapons and equipment, as well as baggage and grain. If he is surrounded by the king's army, he will be shocked. Surrender in fear. In this way, we can welcome the king's army up the Huaihe River, and the three armies can surround Yuan Shu in Shouchun!"
