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

Chapter 476: Jade Lion of the Night! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friend 2023…3457~)

Upon hearing that Sun Ce was shot by an arrow, Zhang Long immediately burst into laughter and was ready to pursue the victory, but was stopped by the cautious Zhang Bao:
"We rushed out rashly and disobeyed military orders, but fortunately we didn't lose too many men.

"If this is the enemy's trick, I'm afraid our army will suffer even greater losses.

"What awaits us when we return is military law!"

Hearing the word "military law", Zhang Long finally showed a hint of fear. He could only suppress the impulse in his heart and stop chasing.

However, what they didn’t expect was that after a while, the enemy army actually called off the attack!

Zhang Long looked at this scene and said angrily:
"Look! If we had pursued the victory just now, we might have been able to capture Sun Ce directly!
"That kind of merit is something you and I would hardly be able to accumulate even if we fought on the battlefield for years!"

Listening to Zhang Long's accusations, Zhang Bao didn't say much.

Just watching the enemy retreat like a tide, I always felt that something was wrong...

At the same time that Sun Ce was attacking the city, in the Wanxiang Cave behind the army.

Guo Tai, who had been lying in ambush here for a day and a night, stood at the entrance of the cave and looked towards the direction of Xiabiancheng. He could vaguely hear a rumbling sound coming from there.

It was obvious that the enemy had begun to attack the city.

Now is the perfect time for them to send troops to destroy the enemy’s food routes and food stations!
After a day of observation, Guo Tai noticed that the enemy sent 5,000 people to patrol back and forth along the grain road.

And on the river bank north of Wanxiang Cave, there is an enemy army's food and fodder transfer station.

If this transit station can be destroyed, the enemy's food will not be effectively transported to the front line in a short period of time.

Guo Tai calculated the time and found that it would take another hour for the enemy patrol to arrive here.

Moreover, the enemy patrol force consisted of only 5,000 men.

Even if they come, as long as we assign 5,000 people to hold them back, they can still destroy this transit station!

Thinking of this, Guo Tai immediately ordered his 10,000 troops to get ready.

With his order, the marching drums sounded immediately!
Ten thousand troops poured out of the Wanxiang Cave and rushed directly towards the food and grass transfer station below!

The soldiers guarding the grain transfer station were suddenly frightened when they heard shouts and screams.

The leading sergeant hurriedly used a torch to light the beacon tower that had been prepared in advance, and then fled with less than a hundred soldiers.

After all, the enemy's number was huge, and the few dozen of them left behind would not be of any use at all.

Lighting up the beacon tower means the mission is accomplished.

As the beacon tower filled with black gunpowder was ignited, in just a short time, billowing black smoke floated towards the sky!

Even from dozens of miles away, you can clearly see the black smoke filling the sky!

Cao Chun and Cao Ang, who were dozens of miles away, were still resting.

The latter suddenly saw black smoke billowing in the sky behind him and exclaimed:
"Just as Military Advisor Zhou predicted! The enemy has indeed come to intercept our army's food supply!"

After saying that, Cao Ang and Cao Chun quickly mounted their horses and rushed towards the direction where the black smoke was rising.

By the time they arrived, Mrs. Guo had almost completely destroyed the grain station!
When Guo Tai saw Cao Ang and his men leading their troops, he did not rush to retreat, but took the initiative to attack Cao Chun and his men.

Seeing that the enemy's strength was twice his own, Cao Chun immediately said to Cao Ang:
"Try the flying fire gun that Lord Chu prepared for us!"

Cao Ang responded excitedly, and immediately led a thousand cavalrymen with muskets and rushed towards the enemy.

Guo Tai naturally didn't know what weapons the enemy had prepared.

Thinking that they were going to throw gunpowder cans again, he immediately ordered the front-row soldiers to raise the fur soft shields they had purchased from Liu Bei's army.

But what they didn't expect was that the thousand cavalrymen in the front row of the enemy did not take out gunpowder cans as they imagined.

Instead, he held a torch in his left hand and a spear under his armpit with his right hand.

There was a strange tube tied to the front of the gun. Just as Cao Ang was about to approach the front row of the enemy, he suddenly gave an order and a group of cavalrymen immediately used torches to light the fuse of the tube.

The fuse burned into the tube with a "hiss" sound!

Guo Tai and his men watched in horror as ferocious fire snakes suddenly spurted out from the front of the enemy's spears!
The horrific flames instantly burned the soft fur shields in their hands!

The scorching flames even penetrated the burnt shields and burned them directly!
In an instant, the soldiers in the front row of Guo Tai were burned and screamed in pain!
Guo Tai and his soldiers were all horrified and shocked by this weapon they had never seen before!

The army's morale collapsed instantly!

Cao Ang and Cao Chun took advantage of this opportunity and immediately led a large army to attack, forcing Guo Tai's army to flee in panic!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Guo Tai had no choice but to lead the remaining 6,000 troops and flee towards Xiabian City.

Upon seeing this, Cao Chun asked Cao Ang to leave behind a thousand men to rebuild the grain station.

He led the remaining 3,000 cavalrymen and continued to pursue Guo Tai!
……

Just as Mrs. Guo destroyed the grain station.

Zhou Yu also sounded the call to call back his troops, and ordered Sun Ce, who had pretended to be shot by an arrow, to retreat back to the camp.

However, not long after, his subordinates suddenly reported that the grain station in the rear had been attacked.

Guo Taizheng led 6,000 defeated troops to retreat here.

Zhou Yu immediately asked the generals:

"Who is willing to lead 5,000 men to intercept the enemy?"

As soon as the voice fell, a beautiful figure suddenly stood up:

"Lingqi is willing to go!"

Zhou Yu looked at the young master and nodded:
"Okay, General Lingqi will lead 5,000 soldiers to go!"

Lu Lingqi smiled in surprise and immediately took the order and left.

Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Yun who was sitting motionless and asked in confusion:

"Will Zilong not come with us?"

Zhao Yun replied calmly:

"He's just a nobody. Lingqi can handle him on her own."

Seeing Zhao Yun so confident, Zhou Yu could only smile and shake his head. Then he ordered his men to prepare the white flag and began to prepare for Sun Ce's fake death.

……

At this moment, Guo Tai had just fled and was now leading only 3,000 cavalrymen to fight back.

Most of the remaining 3,000 infantrymen were killed or captured by Cao Chun who caught up with them because they could not run fast enough.

But because of this, Cao Chun's troops could no longer continue the pursuit.

Guo Tai had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly saw another group of soldiers coming towards him!
Originally, Guo Tai was quite panicked, but after seeing that the enemy leader was a female general, he immediately calmed down.

There was also a flash of contempt in his eyes!
Women dare to go to the battlefield?
Really looking for death!

Thinking of this, Guo Tai immediately sped up and rushed towards the enemy general!

As he got closer, he suddenly noticed that the female general was extremely beautiful!
If I can capture him alive, maybe I can have a good time tonight!

Guo Tai's eyes flashed with lust, and he immediately rushed towards the female general!

Lu Lingqi felt the enemy general's malicious gaze and sneered in her heart.

The Jade Lion Zhaoye, the mount of her husband, seemed to sense her feelings. It neighed loudly and carried Lu Lingqi towards the enemy quickly!
