    Both of them claimed that more than 3,000 elite soldiers had been reorganized and defeated. Under the full authority of Tai Shici, they mobilized the wounded soldiers and the people in the city to bluff at the top of the city, and 2,000 troops left the city overnight and headed towards Huai'an.  .????? Although Sun Ce stole the show in the Yuan Army¡¯s camp, the 50,000 Yuan Army also suffered heavy losses due to the lack of individual combat capabilities. After excluding the casualties, there were less than 30,000 combatable soldiers left.  And because the general Yuan Tan was wounded by an arrow, all military power fell into Sun Ce's hands.  That night, Sun Ce summoned the generals to discuss matters in the camp, and said with high spirits: "Liu Yao was defeated, and most of his soldiers were dispersed. His own life was in danger, and the city of Jiangdu could be destroyed with a snap of his fingers! I wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and sent out troops to attack at the third watch of the night.  Jiangdu City, what do you think?" All the generals nodded in agreement, but Zhou Yu was noncommittal and shook his head: "As I expected, Jiangdu is just an empty city at this moment!  It's unwise!" Sun Ce frowned and said, "What do you mean by Gong Jin's words?" Zhou Yu said, "Jiangdu is an isolated city, and Liu Yao can't defend it without support. Today, Liu Yao's army is almost out.  I thought about it and felt that something was fishy, ??so I immediately sent out scouts to investigate. According to the reports from the scouts who had just returned, at noon today, there was a large group of people heading towards Huai'an with a large amount of baggage. It was just as I expected.  It must be Liu Yao's plan to build a plank road to cross Chencang secretly. He fought with us secretly, but secretly transferred the family members and luggage from Jiangdu City to Huai'an!  That old thief Liu Yao wants to flee into Xuzhou and join Ma Chao?" Zhou Yu nodded and said, "That's right. As long as he rushes to Xiapi via Huai'an, he can join Xu Huang's army. Our army will never defeat Ma Chao again.  Why don't you do it!" Sun Ce was furious when he heard this, stood up and cursed: "What a slayer of thieves, how cunning!" After saying that, he walked back and forth and shouted: "Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Cen Bi, listen to the order.  "General Mo is here!" "Order the three of you to organize your troops immediately and lead three thousand elite troops to pursue Liu Yao's heavy troops overnight!" "No!" The three of them are also aware of the emergency.  Immediately after the order, the troops and horses were dispatched.  Sun Ce thought for a while and then said: "The eldest son is seriously injured. All affairs in the camp will be left to Gong Jin for the time being!" Zhou Yu nodded in agreement, and then said: "Liu Yao's heavy troops marched slowly and took detours.  If the general pursues him all night long, he will definitely achieve success! But he must be careful about ambushes on the way!" "What Gong Jin said is true!" Although Sun Ce agreed, he didn't think so in his heart.  By the time Han Dang, Cheng Pu and others ordered all the soldiers and horses, it was already the third watch after a full meal.  After the nine thousand troops were on the road, Sun Ce anxiously handed over the large troops to Cheng Pu and Cen Bi, while he and Han Dang led the only one thousand light cavalry to gallop along the road.  But it was said that Tai Shici led 3,000 elite soldiers to Huai'an along the same road, but he was ahead of Sun Ce.  Almost all of the three thousand elite soldiers were infantry. After marching for most of the night, they had chased them for more than fifty miles by the fourth watch. They only needed to walk another twenty miles to reach Linxian and merge with Zuo before dawn.  .  The sergeants on both sides fought for most of the day and marched all night. They were all exhausted, and the marching speed gradually slowed down.  While Taishi Ci's army was on the road, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats coming from far behind.  Shocked, he immediately got off his horse and leaned over to listen.  After a while, he stood up and frowned and said: "There is a group of cavalry chasing after about ten miles behind. Listening to the sound of horse hooves, it seems that there are no less than a thousand people!" Everyone was shocked. The soldiers were tired now. It was almost impossible to stop a thousand cavalry with three thousand infantry.  Impossible.  Liu Yu pondered for a moment and then said: "My uncle died tragically at the hands of Yuan Jun. Now that his body is still cold, we must not let Sun Ce rob my uncle's family again! Besides, the luggage in Zuo Rong's hands is the foundation for our survival. If we lose these supplies,  , the army has no choice but to disband! Therefore, even if we fight to the death, we must stop Sun Ce¡¯s pursuit!¡± Zhang Ying also said: ¡°That¡¯s right, Sun Ce¡¯s soldiers will also pursue them all night long. As long as we make arrangements in advance,  There may be no chance of annihilating the enemy!" "We are willing to follow General Taishi!" "Please give the order!"  The remaining generals spoke out.  go along.  Taishi Ci was moved. He knew that these people were the most loyal soldiers under Liu Yao's command. He thought for a while and said, "In this case, I have overstepped my authority! Without further ado, we will immediately set up a stumbling block on the road.  , and let the archers ambush on both sides! If Yuan Jun is rushing at night, he will definitely fall into the trap. As long as he curbs the charge momentum of Yuan Jun's cavalry, and then kills the general unexpectedly, it will be easy to defeat Yuan Jun's cavalry! " The generals quickly led the soldiers to follow!It's a plan, but fortunately it's not difficult to implement. It only requires a few ropes on both sides of the road.  There were more than 500 archers in the army, and they were ready to ambush on both sides.  After about a while, a pair of cavalrymen came galloping over.  It was the darkness before dawn at the fourth watch. Although Sun Ce's cavalry had torches, it was difficult to see clearly the ropes attached to the ground.  Sun Ce and Han Dang, who were at the front, were the first to bear the brunt. Their horses immediately stumbled and fell off their backs.  The cavalry behind them were unable to recover in time. They either bumped into the horses in front or got caught in the horse ropes. They were completely in chaos and screamed in agony.  At this moment, the archers who were ambushing on both sides immediately attacked. Although there were not many arrows, their power at close range was amazing, and those who hit them were either dead or injured.  After several rounds of feather arrows, Sun Ce's cavalry was completely in disarray.  Two fierce generals, Tai Shi Ci and Liu Yu, came out from both sides with two thousand swordsmen and killed countless people.  Sun Ce was not injured after falling from his galloping horse, but the arrows that followed caused him a lot of trouble. He was immediately hit by arrows on his shoulder and chest, and his injuries were really serious.  In the chaos of the army, Taishi Ci and Liu Yu went straight to kill Sun Ce and Han Dang. No one along the way was an enemy of Yihe.  Fortunately, these cavalrymen were Sun Ce's confidants, and their loyal protection gave the two of them time to mount their horses again.  Sun Ce was ambushed in the middle of the night, and he was extremely angry. He immediately unleashed all his anger on Taishi Ci, while Han Dang met Liu Yu, and the four fierce generals fought against each other.  Zhang Ying then commanded his 3,000 swordsmen to encircle and suppress the chaotic group of cavalry. Both sides were exhausted. They were fighting in one place and the killing was extremely brutal.  But this time the situation was just the opposite. Tai Shici's troops were united and had a desperate attitude, while Sun Ce's cavalry pursued them all night long, and the number of people in the ambush was suddenly reduced. How could they have the intention to fight in the panic?  The losses were extremely heavy.  But it was said that Tai Shi Ci also wielded an iron spear, a pair of iron halberds on his back, a bow and arrows with him, and a sword on his hip, and he was inextricably linked to the rampaging Sun Ce.  Liu Yu's opponent was an experienced veteran like Han Dang, but he was too brave to defeat him. He had the upper hand in less than twenty years, but it was not possible to kill Han Dang in a short time.
