Back to the Three Kingdoms - Chapter 552

Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce: “Bo Fu, Guan Yu suddenly crossed the Yangtze River and must be heading towards Jiangxia. We should immediately build a floating bridge to cross the river to stop the Qin army!”

Sun Ce snorted and said, “There are 200,000 troops in Jiangxia’s direction. Guan Yu has less than 200,000 troops. I don’t believe what he can do. Gong Jin, we don’t care about Jiang Xia and continue to attack Nanjun. Wait until the Nanjun is captured. After solving the Qin army in Jingzhou, turn around and eliminate Guan Yu’s subordinates! Chen Lang and the others are making their own wise, and our army will win this battle!”

Zhou Yu hesitated and finally agreed to Sun Ce’s decision. So Sun Ce immediately ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the shore, and he himself led the main force back to Nanjun City.

It is said that soon after Sun Ce led an army of 100,000 to rescue Zhou Yu, Sun Jian also led an army of 100,000 to set out. The army moved up the river, and the road was more than a hundred miles away from the ferry. Suddenly, a fast horse galloped in. This place is still in the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone believes that the person who came is a messenger sent by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, so they did not stop it. The fast-riding horse went straight to Sun Jian, strangled the horse, rolled off the saddle, and reported: “Enlighten King Wu, and the subordinates are hereby sent to report by the orders of the governor and the young master. The governor and the young master cannot resist. Qin’s fierce attack has already retreated to the south of the Yangtze River!”

Sun Jian was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, “What’s the situation, what are the losses for Ce’er and Gong Jin?”

The officer said: “The main force of the army has not been damaged, and has now retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River Floating Bridge has been burned down!”

Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned, and muttered: “I didn’t expect to be defeated! No matter, wait for the chance.” After thinking for a while, he ordered the army to stop and rest on the spot, and he was ready to wait for Sun Ce Zhou Yu to come. Converge, and then decide the next line after negotiation.

The army rested in the wilderness. Since it is in the south of the Yangtze River, separated from Jingzhou by a great moat of the Yangtze River, everyone is not too worried, sitting in groups scattered in the wilderness, eating, drinking and chatting, without even a little guard force.

Soon afterwards, the smoke and dust swept to the west, and the earth trembled. The officers and soldiers stood up and looked westward, only to see a large army approaching here. “It’s the young master and the chief governor that they are here.” An officer said.

Soon after, the army came more than a hundred steps away.

“Huh? Why didn’t they slow down but accelerated instead? Why do those cavalrymen seem to initiate a charge?” An officer looked at the army surging like a tide and couldn’t help but wonder.

Suddenly, Sun Jian’s heart trembled, and he yelled anxiously, “No! It’s not ours! It’s Qin Jun! Get up and fight!” As his cry sounded, Wu Jun couldn’t help but become confused. It came too suddenly. Everyone couldn’t react for a while! The officers and soldiers of Soochow hurriedly got up and formed amidst the impatient roars of the generals, but the soldiers could not find the generals, and they would not find the soldiers. You pushed me and shoved and made a mess!

Just at this moment, I saw that the Qin army’s war cavalry slammed into the Soochow army like a landslide and tsunami, trampled by iron hoofs, **** knives and spears, like a violent wind sweeping, and the dead of Soochow soldiers could not be stopped! Sun Jian led his army to fight back, but in a blink of an eye he was rushed by the Qin army’s war cavalry, who seemed to be rushing down the mountain from a tiger! Sun Jian looked around and saw that his 100,000 army had been completely destroyed by his opponent’s war cavalry! Countless people lost their helmets and armor to flee desperately. Although there were also brave soldiers who died fighting to death, they were instantly submerged in the wave of the opponent’s lances! The Qin army’s warriors are like waves and winds, wherever they pass, corpses are everywhere, and the waves of blood are rolling. They seem to be terrifying powers that suddenly descended on this world, and everything will be completely shattered in front of the power of innocence!

“Sun Jian, take your life!” A roar suddenly came.

Sun Jian couldn’t help but look at it with a stirring voice. Suddenly saw the fierce general who thought he was as mighty as a god, carrying a sword of Qinglong Yanyue and riding straight up!

Sun Jian was startled: “Guan Yu!”

As soon as this thought was finished, Guan Yu had already rushed in front of Sun Jian, holding up the Qinglong Yanyue Knife with both hands and slashing down at Sun Jian’s forehead, as if Mount Tai was pressing on the top! Sun Jian hurriedly raised the ancient ingot knife to block! Between the lightning and flint, only a loud bang shook the audience, and the Qinglong Yanyue sword slashed heavily on the ancient ingot sword! Sun Jian only felt a majestic and unstoppable distance rushing forward, and the whole person couldn’t help shaking violently, his arms numb! Sun Jian couldn’t help being shocked by the power of a single blow!

Guan Yu resorted to dragging the knife, and saw that the Qinglong Yanyue knife pressed Sun Jian’s ancient ingot knife tightly and dragged it back. The screeching sound made by the friction of the two knives made the scalp numb! Sun Jian only felt that the ancient ingot knife in his hand was dragged away by a distance, and he was almost about to let go and fly out. Sun Jian tried his best to hold the ancient ingot knife!

Guan Yu dragged the sword back to Qinglong Yanyue, then turned the blade upwards, and slid toward Sun Jian from bottom to top! Seeing the cold light flashing in front of him, Sun Jian hurriedly reined in to avoid it! Sun Jian dangerously avoided Guan Yu’s ultimate move, but his horse was staunchly stabbed! I saw the Qinglong Yanyue knife cut like a horse’s belly from bottom to top, with a puff, the warhorse overturned with a mournful cry, and threw Sun Jian off the horse!

Guan Yu immediately prepared to take Sun Jian’s life immediately. However, at this moment, several Soochow Titans roared and slammed their horses. Guan Yu didn’t care about going up to kill Sun Jian, and wielded the Qinglong Yanyue Knife to fight! At this moment, a group of soldiers rushed to Sun Jian’s side to save Sun Jian!

Guan Yu wielded the sword of Qinglong Yanyue and fought fiercely with the six Dongwu Titans. Six Soochow Titans surrounded Guan Yu to fight, spinning like a revolving lantern, and six weapons kept attacking the core Guan Yu! Guan Yu swung the sword of Qinglong Yanyue to cover the left and right, and the ping-pong-pong-pong-pong sound became a big sound!

Suddenly, Guan Yu shouted loudly, and at the same time the Qinglong Yanyue sword in his hand slashed a huge blade of light around him! The weapons of the six Dongwu Titans were smashed away at the same time. At this moment, Guan Yu quickly retracted his broad sword, and then slashed out with the sword with both hands. When he saw the light of the sword flying towards him, he was caught off guard and made a click. With loud noises, Qinglong Yanyue’s big knife slashed open the general’s forehead, blood surged, and the general failed to scream and fell off his horse! The five heroes were shocked, and Guan Yu swiftly swung his broadsword to the left, slashed, and slashed and killed two enemy generals! The remaining three enemy generals were terrified and dared not fight again, and hurriedly turned their horses to flee for their lives.

Guan Yu rode a horse and carried a knife to chase, and among the thousands of horses, Guan Yu saw Guan Yu hit one by one, and all three enemy generals who fleeed with three consecutive swords were cut down! When the surrounding Soochow soldiers saw this, they were horrified and threw their helmets and armors and turned around and fled for their lives.

At the same time, the troops of the Qin Army had completely defeated the army of the Soochow. The Qin army rode all over the mountains and hunted down, and the soldiers and wolves of Soochow rushed to flee. Countless people were killed, and corpses were seen everywhere in the wilderness, and the green grass was soaked with blood into a mottled sauce.

The dusk on the outskirts of Jiangxia city was still as calm as usual. The people who rushed into the city quickened their pace, and the farmers who had been working in the farmland all day carrying ploughs and humming the country tunes went home.

At this moment, hundreds of people suddenly rushed from a distance, and the roar of horseshoes suddenly broke the peaceful atmosphere here. People couldn’t help but stop and look, only to see their lord Sun Jian and hundreds of subordinates rushing down, panicked and embarrassed, everyone couldn’t help but talk. Soon, news came that their lord and his 100,000 army were defeated by the Qin army not far from the west, and that the Qin army is coming! The people suddenly heard the news, and their panic was overwhelmed. The villages and towns outside the city were in chaos, with the cries of children caught in the chaos; the city was also chaotic, and every household closed their doors, and the city gates were closed early.

Sun Jian, who fled back to Jiang Xia, immediately ordered people to summon Lu Su and others to stay behind. Lu Su and others received the call and hurried over, and saw that Sun Jian and others were very embarrassed. They couldn’t help being shocked. Lu Su couldn’t help holding his fist and asked, “Master, what are you…”

Sun Jian frowned and said: “Our army was suddenly attacked by Guan Yu’s army at a place more than a hundred miles away from the ferry. We were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses!”

Everyone was shocked, and Zhang Zhao said in disbelief, “How is this possible? The Yangtze River is blocked by the sky, and the Young Master and the Chief Governor are leading the army to attack Nanjun. How could the Qin army suddenly appear in Jiangnan?”

Sun Jian frowned and said, “I don’t know what is going on? But Guan Yu’s army has indeed arrived in Jiangnan!”

Lu Su frowned and said, “No matter what is going on, since Guan Yu’s army has arrived in Jiangnan, I’m afraid they will attack Jiang Xia!”

Sun Jian nodded and said: “I have already told all the troops in the city to close the city gates and guard them. I have sufficient reserves in Jiang Xia, and the city is high and wide. Guan Yu’s army is here to attack, and they will definitely meet and break the blood! Is it to find out what’s going on with Ce’er Gongjin?”

Lu Su and Zhang Zhao couldn’t help but nodded, both very worried about Sun Ce Zhou Yu’s situation. Sun Jian said: “I have sent someone to investigate. There should be news in these two days.” Then he looked at Zhang Zhao and said, “Zibu, you rush to Chaisang immediately and mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized.” Zhang Zhao clasped his fists and promised and hurried away.

Sun Jian said to Lu Su again: “Zi Jing, you immediately rush to Yanzhou to see Cao Cao, and ask him to send troops to attack Hulao Pass immediately. If Cao Cao sends troops, you and Sun Jing will lead the Huainan army to help.” Lu Su thought about it. Nodded, clasped his fists, and left quickly.

Sun Jian felt pain in his shoulders, and when he recalled that he was almost killed by Guan Yu’s knife not long ago, he couldn’t help feeling lingering. Then he fell asleep leaning on his seat. When he woke up again, the sky outside was completely dark and very quiet. Sun Jian stood up, walked out of the hall, and asked the guard at the door: “When is it?”

The guard hurriedly said: “Return to King Wu, it should be Haishi.”
