Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 376: Evil Monk Bald Donkey! (Belated update for Brother Kongcheng~)
When Xue Li led his army hurriedly to the scene, he was surprised to find that Sun Ce had already stopped in front of the Slender West Lake with 10,000 men.

Xue Li, who was worried that the enemy would cross the river and escape, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the enemy troops had already deployed their troops and looked well-organized, Xue Li was not worried at all.

We have twice as many troops as the enemy, and five thousand civilians.

He doesn't think he will lose!
At this moment, Sun Ce suddenly swung the Overlord Spear in his hand forward!
Amid the passionate shouts of killing, Sun Ce led 5,000 cavalrymen to charge towards the enemy!

The remaining 5,000 infantry followed closely behind.

Facing the oncoming aggressive cavalry army, Xue Li felt a strong sense of oppression!
In addition to Sun Ce, who was as brave as a tiger, the other cavalrymen also had eyes as sharp as eagles.

He is not afraid of an opponent whose military strength is twice his own!

On the other hand, the 10,000 Guangling soldiers and 10,000 monk soldiers on their side showed slightly frightened expressions.

Xue Li knew that if he failed in the first wave of battles, he would be in a passive situation afterwards.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and a hideous smile identical to Zuo Rong's appeared on his face:

"Bring all those five thousand people to the front!"

Following Xue Li's order, the soldiers in the middle immediately made way.

All five thousand civilians with their hands tied were driven to the front of the team!

Sun Ce's cavalry regiment, which had already increased its speed, suddenly saw a group of ordinary people standing in front of Xue Li's army. They were unarmed, wearing coarse linen clothes, and had terrified faces!
This was a situation that Sun Ce had never expected!
The enemy's cruelty once again refreshed his cognition!

I thought that pushing the common people onto the city walls to block the gunpowder cans was already their limit.

I didn't expect that when they went out to fight, they would bring civilians with them!

No wonder our previous marching speed was not as fast as theirs.

If it weren't for these five thousand common people, they would have been caught up long ago and would never have reached the Slender West Lake.

In this situation, Sun Ce immediately raised the Overlord Spear, and the well-trained cavalry behind him also slowed down instantly.

However, with just this slight slowdown, the cavalry's charge rhythm was instantly disrupted!

Upon seeing this, Xue Li immediately commanded 20,000 troops to attack Sun Ce's cavalry from both sides of the civilians!

Sun Ce sighed, but he was not panicked. He immediately said to Wei Xu beside him:

"General Wei, you and I will each lead 2,500 cavalry and infantry, charge for a while, and then meet up behind the enemy!

"Also, try not to hurt innocent civilians!"

Wei Xu looked at the enemy troops charging towards him from a distance and replied in a muffled voice:
"No problem! But General Sun, don't just focus on killing the enemy and forget Chen Gongtai's reminder."

Sun Ce grinned faintly:

"I will never forget it!"

After saying that, he and Wei Xu parted ways, each facing the enemy on their own side.

Looking at the enemy troops rushing towards him like a tide, the Overlord Spear in Sun Ce's hand was as thick as an adult male's arm!
When sweeping towards the enemy, it was like waving a small tree, giving a full sense of oppression.

Facing the enemies in the front, Sun Ce did not directly attack their vital parts such as the neck.

Instead, it swayed left and right, and the thick gun body hit their shoulders hard!
At the same time, Sun Ce also followed the strategy set by Chen Gong and shouted to the soldiers of Guangling City: "You are all soldiers trained by Zhang Chao, the governor of Zhang. You are one family with our army. Why do you want to surrender to the enemy?!"

While Sun Ce led his troops to charge, he shouted along with the soldiers in the rear.

At the same time, when attacking the enemy, their weapons try not to hit vital parts.

The soldiers of Guangling City who were attacked soon felt the sincerity of Sun Ce's army and began to waver!

Xue Li felt that the morale of his soldiers was rapidly declining, and immediately shouted:
“Don’t forget that your parents and wives are in our hands!
"If you dare not fight hard against the enemy, you will never see your family again!"

The messenger repeated Xue Li's words to the soldiers in front.

These soldiers from Guangling City immediately revealed helpless yet fierce expressions, and once again fought hard towards Sun Ce's army.

Seeing this, Sun Ce could only withstand the tremendous pressure and continue to try his best to influence these former friendly forces by shouting at them.

Although these soldiers from Guangling City seem to be fighting desperately.

However, when he had the opportunity to kill Sun Ce's soldiers, he deliberately did not hit their vital points.

Wei Xu on the other side was much more relaxed.

Because what he was facing was an army of 10,000 monks!
These monks all held large metal sticks in their hands, which seemed not to be as lethal as sharp weapons.

However, when Wei Xu fought with these monk soldiers, he found that these monk soldiers were well-trained and their strength was not weaker than that of regular soldiers!
But fortunately, these monk soldiers were absolutely loyal to Zuo Rong, so they had no psychological burden at all when they started killing!
Despite facing an enemy force twice their size, they were led by two powerful generals, Sun Ce and Wei Xu.

The 10,000-strong army finally managed to meet up behind Xue Li’s army!
In this first wave of fighting, Sun Ce lost nearly two thousand people, but Xue Li lost nearly five thousand people!

Xue Li looked at Sun Ce's army rushing behind him in frustration.

When they were preparing to attack again, they suddenly discovered that another army was coming from behind Sun Ce's army!
Xue Li's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly found himself being driven to the edge of Slender West Lake by the enemy!
"Oh no! We fell into the enemy's trap!"

Xue Li clenched his spear tightly, and wanted to imitate Xiang Yu's fight to the death, and shouted to his soldiers:
"Brothers, fight back! If you don't, you will never see your families again!"

The same words were said again, but this time the effect was obviously much less effective.

The soldiers looked at Xue Li with resentment.

If they didn't care about their families, they really wanted to rush up and kill this guy.

However, at this moment, Sun Ce suddenly led the remaining 8,000 soldiers and shouted in unison:
"Brothers from Guangling City! We are all one family!

“Even if you work for them now, your family members may not be safe.

"Why don't you join hands with us and kill all these evil monks!
"Then you can pretend to be defeated and return to the city, cooperate with us from inside and outside, and take down Guangling City!

"Your family will be safe then!"

Hearing the shouts from Sun Ce’s army, the soldiers of Guangling City, who had been suppressed for a long time, seemed to have found a way to save their lives!

They all looked at the monk soldiers and Xue Li not far away with hateful eyes!

Feeling that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly strange, Xue Li's Adam's apple rolled violently twice, and he hurriedly calmed the Guangling City soldiers:

"You, you guys calm down. As long as you follow me and fight back, your family will be fine...

"You, what do you want to do? Don't come over here, don't come over here! Don't...Ah——!!"
