Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 397 Breakout, big failure!

Twenty years of Jian'an.

Sun Quan, who was defeated from Jiangdong, was ready to fight to the death in Hefei.

On that day, after making a plan in Hefei City, Sun Quan prepared to break out.

All the soldiers and horses that could move in the city were killed and all were prepared to break out.

With Xu Sheng and He Qi as the vanguard, he and Lu Fan followed closely behind as the central army. They would wait until dusk, when they were hungry and wanted breakfast, and then they would plan to break out.

As for the rear army...

It’s time to fight to the death to break out, why do we still need a rear guard?

If you can leave, leave. If you can’t leave... you can’t come back to Hefei.

Even with Cao Zhi, Sun Quan still led the central army.

Although it does seem that Cao Zhi is of no use on the battlefield, but... what if he is useful!
With such proper arrangements, when the time came and the gates of Hefei were opened, the soldiers and horses rushed out together and headed straight for Lu Xun's army!

...

Although Lu Xun thought Xing Daorong's plan was good, he thought it would take some time before Sun Quan could really make a desperate move.

Unexpectedly, within four or five days, soldiers came to report that the gates of Hefei were wide open and troops were charging straight towards the army.

When Lu Xun heard this, he was not worried but happy.

However, he ordered all the troops to get ready, and on the one hand, return to the camp to report the news, and on the other hand, prepare to retreat a step.

This was already planned.

When Sun Quan leaves the city, he will certainly be making a desperate move and will be very aggressive. If that is the case, we must block his lead.

On the one hand, it can reduce casualties, and on the other hand, it can lure the enemy deep into the city, making it easier to siege the city.

With this plan in mind, Lu Xun withdrew his troops.

When Sun Quan heard the news that Lu Xun was going to escape without even fighting, he was certain that it was because Xing Daorong was leading a large army to fight against Cao's army and there were really no soldiers left here, so he had no intention of resisting.

He felt that he had seized the opportunity, so he ordered Xu Sheng and He Qi in the vanguard to speed up their march and make sure to catch up with Lu Xun's troops.

Xu Sheng and He Qi heard the order and quickened their pace.

This rapid and slow movement actually divided the army into two parts: the front army and the central army.

However, Xu Sheng and He Qi were chasing eagerly, but Lu Xun retreated even faster.

In their anxiety, the two men just urged their troops to go forward, and before they knew it, they had chased for five miles.

Just as they were passing the entrance of a valley, they suddenly heard two cannon shots. Two armies came from the east and west respectively. They were Generals Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.

The soldiers and horses of Hefei had been holding their breath to charge forward, but when they heard the sound of an ambush, all their breath was immediately deflated!

To put it bluntly, they are only willing to fight once, and once they suffer a setback, their morale will be completely gone.

Now that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin have rushed out, it is time to lose your temper.

At the same time, Lu Xun turned his troops back and attacked in three directions, immediately dispersing the Hefei army.

I don’t know how many people surrendered at that time!
He Qi wanted to reorganize the troops, but who would listen to him at the moment?
When the Jiangdong soldiers rushed in and made a mess, he did not notice that several fast-moving Jiangdong soldiers had already sneaked up on him.

He was still trying to command his troops and horses to fight hard, but was caught off guard by the Jiangdong soldiers who rushed over!

He Qi had killed many people in Shanyue, but he was still a little immature in dealing with the troops led by Xing Daorong.

Surrounded by Jiangdong soldiers, he was helpless and was hacked to death in a short while.

After He Qi's death, all his troops surrendered upon hearing the news.

On the other hand, Xu Sheng is obviously much more experienced than He Qi.

When he saw the ambush, he knew that the army's morale was not good enough. He only held on to the thought of death and shouted to Zhou Tai who was coming, "Zhou Tai! The Marquis of Wu has been very kind to you and asked you to make great military achievements. How could you betray him!"

Zhou Tai naturally had a clear conscience.

But he said: "Sun Quan did not know loyalty and treachery, he listened to slander and brought about his own destruction." "Now you will die with him, and you will give away your lives in vain!"

Xu Sheng shouted: "A loyal minister will not serve two masters. Now I will fight to the death!"

After saying this, he spurred his horse back and headed straight for Zhou Tai.

Seeing that Xu Sheng couldn't bear to hear a word he said, Zhou Tai sighed inwardly and raised his sword again.

However, if we have to rank the martial arts skills of Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai should be more powerful.

However, Xu Sheng was determined to die and his adrenaline was rising, so he fought back and forth with Zhou Tai.

However, after twenty moves, the gap in strength began to gradually emerge.

Zhou Tai swung with his broadsword and Xu Sheng dodged to the side, only to find that it was just a feint by Zhou Tai.

He swung his sword and hit Xu Sheng's chest.

Although the blow from the blade was not fatal, Zhou Tai was extremely strong and made Xu Sheng feel a tightness in his chest, unable to breathe, and his hands became weak.

Zhou Tai certainly couldn't miss this opportunity. With a fierce look in his eyes, he raised his knife and chopped at Xu Sheng's head, but shouted: "Xu Sheng! This is what I call you dying to prove your loyalty!"

Xu Sheng's hands were so weak that he couldn't even lift the knife. He could only watch the silver light flash before his eyes. Then everything went black and he lost consciousness.

Zhou Tai looked at Xu Sheng, whose head was separated from his body, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long silence, all the words he wanted to say turned into a sigh. It was such a pity for Xu Sheng.

It's really not worth it for him to die for Sun Quan despite being so loyal and brave.

But this feeling of regret only flashed by. After all, the war is not over yet, and it is not the time to feel sentimental.

...

However, Sun Quan was not as fast as the vanguard troops of Xu Sheng and He Qi, and was a little out of touch, but he also tried to march as fast as possible and follow closely.

He got the news immediately about the ambush of the army before.

I was shocked. I didn't expect that I would fall into Xing Daorong's trap again this time!

But now is not the time to be surprised, the key is what to do now!

Sun Quan was frightened and impulsive for a moment. He thought that even if there was an ambush, he would just rush forward and end it all once and for all!

After all, now that we have returned to Hefei, we have lost so many soldiers and horses, it is useless...

However, a person's personality is engraved in his genes from the moment he is born.

Even if you can temporarily go against your genes at a certain moment, at the critical moment, what is in your bones cannot be reversed.

If Sun Ce were leading the army, he would definitely not think of returning to Hefei at this moment. He would definitely charge towards the enemy formation and not retreat even a single step.

Of course…

At this moment, Sun Quan just had a thought of fighting to the death, and then turned around and went back to Hefei.

As he ran along, listening to the constant sounds of killing behind him and heading towards Hefei, he felt somewhat uneasy.

When we arrived at the city, the uneasiness in our hearts was immediately confirmed.

But I saw that on the city walls... there were flags with the word "Xing" on them!

Xing Daorong!
They actually took the city while I was trying to break out!

Sun Quan was furious, but the shouting coming from the city was even more infuriating.

But then a general on the city wall called out, "Little Sun Quan! I am a general under the command of the Left General of the Han Dynasty, Bao Long!"

"Now that you have fallen into the trap, why don't you dismount and surrender early, and live a peaceful life with your Sun family members? Why do you have to harm others to die with you?"

"My child! Stop hurting others!"
