three kings

Chapter 314 Entering the Central Plains and Attacking
The night is quiet.Especially on winter nights, apart from the roar of the wind, there is not even the cry of insects.

Who would have imagined that fifty thousand soldiers were waiting quietly in the dark night, no one spoke, no one moved, and there was almost no sound of breathing.

Sun Canzhu held his sword and sat quietly in the cold wind, waiting for the arrival of the fighter.

For this battle, he sacrificed [-] elite troops who were loyal to him; for this battle, he used tens of thousands of grains, the fruit of three years of hard work by millions of people in Jianghuai, as bait to lure Yuan Shao's army.

Now, he has no way out.Either win or lose.

When the sound of "rustling" footsteps came, Sun Can immediately looked over in search of prestige. In the dark night, it was too late to see who was coming. "Zhao Sheng" came and reported his name, and it was the leader of the scout battalion——Zhao Sheng.

He arrived in front of Sun Can unimpeded, panting heavily.Because in order not to let Yuan Shao find out, he relied on his legs for this mission.

"Thank you for your hard work, drink a glass of strong wine to warm up your body, don't worry, take your time, defeating the enemy is not at this moment." Sun Can warmly served Zhao Sheng a bowl of wine.Although it was a battle of life and death, he was still not so relaxed, and he was still so confident.

Zhao Sheng was flattered, took the wine respectfully, drank it dry in one gulp, calmed down his beating heart due to the violent running, and said: "My lord, a fire has already ignited in Hefei, and Yuan Shaojun's barracks is also in chaos. Some hurried to the city of Hefei, some ran to the river in a panic, and their defenses were extremely lax."

Sun Can smiled calmly, the bait he dropped was indeed not in vain, Yuan Shaojun has everything at the moment.The only thing missing is food.That tens of thousands of grains was enough to make Yuan Shao and the others lose their minds.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with this step I took.

Originally, Sun Can and the others planned to use the fire attack to severely injure Yuan Shao's army.However, due to Gongsundu's attack, Yuan Shao realized the importance of the rear.Arranged Zhang Yun and Gao Lan in Runan and gave them an army of [-] to prevent accidents.As a result, the original plan of Sun Can and others had a small change.

According to the original strategy, Sun Can's army first used fire to attack Yuan Shao's vanguard army, breaking its spirit, and then cut off Yuan Shao's retreat, encircling them on eight sides, making them fall into a desperate situation with no way to retreat and no food to eat.In this way, Yuan Shao can only die even if he has an army of one million.

But now Yuan Shao still has Zhang He and Gao Lan's [-] troops as their backing.Then this kind of strategy is completely useless. The reason why Sun Can can surround more with less is all because Yuan Shao has no food before and no aid later.Now that Zhang Xi and Gao Lan have [-], they can easily cooperate with each other and break out.

But Sun Can didn't have so many soldiers to stop him.

Therefore, the previous strategy, because of a little change on the battlefield, greatly reduced the effect of the strategy.

What Sun Can's army needs is to annihilate the enemy, not to defeat the enemy. Only by annihilating Yuan Shao's army can he enter the Central Plains. However, defeating Yuan Shao cannot achieve such an excellent effect, and he will lose the opportunity to enter the Central Plains.

As soon as Sun Can, Liu Hua, Guo Jia and others heard the news, they immediately discussed countermeasures.

At this critical moment, Guo Jia's quick wit and boldness played a key role.He proposed that the fire attack be postponed and replaced by an accidental fire.Lure them with high profits, so that the other party will not attack and chaos.

This plan is good, but the only point is that accidental fire is very difficult.

However, this did not bother Sun Can, Liu Hua, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu.They covered the roofs of all the houses in Hefei with a thick layer of hay, and placed two or three pottery pipes filled with kerosene at the dead corners of the eaves, and covered them with hay.

Anyway, it was late at night when Yuan Shaojun came, and I believe that there is no crazy person who would climb up to the roof to check for treasures under the hay.

Then, let the dead men lurk on the beams of the various granaries, and spread a thin layer of fire oil on the top and bottom of the granaries.Since the granary is filled with the smell of rice, as long as it is in moderation, it will never leave any suspicious smell.

As long as the time is right, the surrounding dead soldiers will set fire everywhere. The thatch on the roof is particularly easy to burn. As long as the torches are set off and there is no tea time, they will burn violently.The kerosene will flow out automatically.As soon as the dead men outside rushed into the granary, the dead men hidden on the beams would assist the dead men outside to burn grain together.

This time, in order to attract Yuan Shao, Sun Can used almost all the grain in Huainan.Sure enough, Yuan Shao really couldn't resist the temptation, and ordered the whole army to save food and fire.

Of course, Yuan Shao can't be blamed for this, who would have thought that in order to lure the enemy, he would invest such a proud capital.What's more, this is not a fire attack, but a dying counterattack of some loyal defenders.

Who would have thought that there were such complex mysteries in this?

Sun Can got up and issued a combat order to everyone: "This battle is divided into three teams. The first team is led by me personally, the 'Yuwei Army' and the 'Ruijin Camp', 'Qingmu Camp', 'Flood Camp', and 'Fire Camp' , "Houtu Battalion" has [-] soldiers in the fifth battalion, the second team is the "Ranger Battalion" led by General Fan Wu, and the third team is the "Wolf Rider Battalion" led by General Zhang Liao."

Due to the shortage of troops, Sun Can secretly transferred to guard Zhang Liao in Wan County.As for the safety of Wan County, Sun Can asked his father Liu Hua and Lu Su, who joined the army, to guard it.Although it was a bit dangerous, Sun Ce couldn't get cheap from Liu Hua and Lu Sufa in a short period of time even though he was powerful.

Afterwards, Sun Can stated his strategic plan. He personally used 3 people to use the terrain to form an array to attract the attack of Yuan Shao's army, and another [-] rangers to attack Yuan Shao's army on the flanks, and then used [-] wolf cavalry to attack Yuan Shao's army with a thunderbolt. Attacking and sweeping the back of Yuan Shao's army, forming a three-sided encirclement, leaving only a gap in the north.

"My lord, this is too dangerous, why don't you let Zilong or someone replace it." Guo Jia said worriedly after hearing Sun Can's arrangement.

There is nothing wrong with Sun Can's plan. He is better than Guo Jia in this respect, and Guo Jia can't find any faults.However, this bold forward encirclement tactic requires a small number of troops to attract the opponent's attack, then contain the opponent's action from the flanks, and finally use the main force of light cavalry to go deep into the enemy's rear and defeat the enemy's rear by surprise, causing the enemy to be trapped on three sides. pincer situation.

But letting Sun Can personally lead the army to attract the attention of the opponent's 40 troops is obviously too risky. Guo Jia, who has always been bold, can't stand this kind of fright, and opposes Sun Can's personal risk.

Sun Can said solemnly: "In the battle of life and death, the determination and belief of the commander are the key to defeating the enemy. No one in the army has this ability except me."

He said to Guo Jia: "Don't worry, I won't die until the world is unified. Otherwise, I won't have the face to face the soldiers who sacrificed to defeat the enemy."

"Let's go!" Sun Can resolutely gave the order to fight.

At dawn, the sky is bright, and the sky and the earth are chaotic. Sun Canjun has arrived near Hefei under the cover of thick fog.At this moment, almost all the fires in Hefei City have been extinguished by Yuan Shaojun. This time, the whole army of Yuan Shaojun took action to fight the fire.

Some of them stepped on the raging fire to rescue food from the fire, and some rushed to the river a mile away to fetch water, and then ran to Hefei to put out the fire.Everyone's physical strength was exhausted, so they crowded together and fell asleep.

Civil and military personnel like Yuan Shao and Lu Bu were no exception. Although they didn't do it themselves, they were worried all night. Now that the fire was extinguished, one-third of the food had been rescued.Although it is a pity, it is also a blessing in misfortune, because the food is enough to last until they occupy the entire territory of Huainan.

However, they miscalculated. Under Sun Can's personal leadership, Sun Can's [-] troops rushed into Hefei City like a tiger. The city gate had already been burned due to the fire.

Sun Can's army easily entered the city. When the patrolling soldiers on the city found out, it was too late. Before they sent out the news of the enemy's attack, they were shot dead by two excellent shooters, Sun Can and Zhao Yun.

There is no emotion and kindness on the battlefield, even those soldiers who are still sleeping can't be soft.The lightsaber flew up and down, and in an instant, 20 people were killed by the sword.

When Sun Can killed more than [-] people, he finally remembered the long-lost enemy attack.

Those soldiers were in a mess, and some of them couldn't even find their weapons. How could such an army be the opponent of Sun Can's Five Elements Army.

Not to mention the "Yuwei Army" carefully trained by Sun Can. The weakest soldier in the "Yuwei Army" has the strength of a hundred generals, and the bravest man is even stronger than Sun Can.It is an army composed of martial arts masters with everyone possessing martial arts.It is conceivable that they are well-equipped and well-trained, how terrifying their strength is.

At this moment, even the impact of the "trapped camp" cannot be compared with that of the "Yuwei Army". Although it is inferior to the "trapped camp" in terms of tacit understanding, with time, the "yuwei army" can definitely surpass the "trapped camp" , become the number one commando in the army.

However, in just half an hour, Hefei City had fallen into Sun Can's hands again.

Except for Sun Canjun and some enemy troops who surrendered in Hefei, there is no living Yuan Shaojun left.

He glanced at the surrendered soldiers, sighed, and said calmly, "Kill!"

With this sound, thousands of lives disappeared into the world together.

This was Sun Can's first time killing a prisoner, and he felt a little sad, but he didn't regret it. He did extraordinary things at extraordinary times. Yuan Shao's 40 troops had already gathered outside. Although they didn't have much physical strength to fight, they were many after all. To show the public, when Fan Wu and Zhang Liao are securing the battle for their arrival at the battlefield, they must not allow accidents to destroy their strategy.
