Back to the Three Kingdoms - Chapter 553

Sun Jian asked, “Are the two adults, Lu Su and Zhang Zhao, gone?”

“Return to King Wu, the two adults have already set off.”

Sun Jian’s thoughts returned to the present, an unspeakable irritability surged in his mind, and he couldn’t help frowning.

“Husband.” Madam Sun’s voice came from one side. Sun Jian turned his head to look and saw his wife approaching. His troubles disappeared. He smiled and asked, “Why hasn’t the madam rested yet?”

Madam Sun smiled and said, “Didn’t your husband also have a rest?” Mianmian affection could not help but ripple in Sun Jian’s heart. Sun Jian held his wife’s delicate hand and walked towards the back. Several maidservants followed behind and deliberately separated some distance.

Madam Sun comforted: “Victory or defeat is commonplace in the military, and the husband does not have to worry about it. I think that with the ability of the husband, he can overcome any difficulties. Although Chen Lang is strong, it is impossible to defeat the husband!”

When Sun Jian heard this, he couldn’t help but burst into pride in his chest. He laughed and said, “Why do I fear Mrs. Chen Lang’s words!”

Madam Sun couldn’t help smiling when she saw that Sun Jian had regained her confidence. Then he frowned slightly, and sighed leisurely: “Oh, speaking of it, Chen Lang and us are also a family! He is Shangxiang’s beloved husband and our son-in-law! But good luck is not fooling others. Thinking that our family would meet each other in battle!” Sun Jian laughed and said, “My son-in-law is really good, and he made my father-in-law and old son embarrassed and embarrassed!” Madam Sun couldn’t help but smile. When he wanted to speak, he saw Sun Jian’s face showing thoughts, and he couldn’t help swallowing the words that came to his lips, not daring to disturb his thoughts.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Suddenly there was a loud horn from the gate tower.

Sun Jian and his wife were surprised. Sun Jian frowned and said, “It must be Qin Jun!” Then he said to Madam Sun: “Madam, you stay in the house, I will go to the city wall to see!” Madam Sun warned with concern: “Mrs. Be careful!” Sun Jian laughed, turned and hurried away. Madam Sun looked at Sun Jian’s back, her face could not help showing a worried look.

Mrs. Sun is the only one who is worried at this moment. Far away in the Palace of King Qin in Luoyang, the daughter of Sun Jian and his wife, Sun Ren, is also restless and anxious, worrying about her parents’ situation for a while, and worrying about the safety of her husband. Down, there is no peace at all.

“Sister Shangxiang!” A sweet voice suddenly came.

Sun Ren couldn’t help but looked up, and saw the pink Xiangxiang coming in with a food tray. Several maids followed Xiangxiang, but they didn’t dare to stop her.

When Sun Ren saw the lovely Xiangxiang, his troubles disappeared for seven or eight minutes, stepped forward, squatted down, and smiled and asked, “Why did Xiangxiang come to me suddenly?”

Xiangxiang sent the food plate forward in his hand, and said as if offering a treasure: “Today I sent a lot of delicious fruits, Xiangxiang chose some for Sister Shangxiang to taste!” Sun Ren looked at the plate. With all the attractive fruits, I only felt the warmth in my heart. I couldn’t help but picked up a big plum and lightly took a bite. The sweet and fragrant juice overflowed his mouth suddenly. Sun Ren couldn’t help but open his eyes and exclaimed:” It’s delicious!” Xiangxiang saw that her sister Shangxiang liked her, and she was immediately very happy.

Sun Ren couldn’t help taking another bite. Suddenly thinking of the current war in the south, he couldn’t help feeling dull and worried again.

Seeing this, Xiangxiang asked incomprehensibly: “Sister Shangxiang, what’s wrong with you? Are plums not delicious?” Xiangxiang looked frustrated.

Sun Ren came back to his senses, quickly piled up a smile, and shook his head: “No! Sister just, just remembered something else!” When he said this, his thoughts could not help but flew to the south of the Yangtze River thousands of miles away, with a heart. Can not help but hang up.

Sun Jian heard the alarm horn and hurried to the wall. Sure enough, I saw the Qin army’s troops appearing outside the city like a tide, slowly approaching the city wall. Sun Jian couldn’t help but frowned and murmured: “What does Chen Lang want to do? Does he want to take advantage of the situation to attack the city? He doesn’t think he can take Jiang Xia in one go?” Ready to fight!” The messenger promised and hurried down to pass the order. Amidst the rushing horns and shouts, teams of Soochow officers and soldiers rushed up the city wall. In an instant, the city wall saw swords and guns like forests and figures like walls, bows and crossbows wound up, swords unsheathed, and a tense atmosphere filled the entire city!

The people in the city seemed to feel the unusual atmosphere. The whole family hid in their own homes, the whole family gathered together, their nerves tense, no one spoke, and they were all listening to the movement outside. It was completely different from the hustle and bustle of the city wall, but inside the city was a very quiet scene, and the occasional dog barking sounded so abrupt and harsh.

Sun Jian watched the Qin army approach the city wall until it stopped two hundred steps away from the city wall. The army lined up, ready to attack, as if preparing to attack the city.

Sun Jian couldn’t help showing his anger, and cursed: “Damn fellow, he underestimated me, Soochow!”

咚咚咚咚……! There was a huge sound of war drums from the Qin army formation. The soldiers of Dongwu thought that the Qin army was about to attack the city, and they couldn’t help becoming nervous.

kill! ! Suddenly there was a loud killing sound. However, this voice did not come from outside, but from the city. The officers and soldiers guarding the city wall were taken aback, and they all looked inside the city, and they saw that a soldier and horse inside the city launched a surprise attack at the city gate! ?

Sun Jian was very surprised and couldn’t help crying, “What’s going on?” For a while, he thought it was one of his subordinates who led a betrayal.

I saw that the soldiers and horses offensively swift and fierce, like a tiger roaring and dragons, killing all the way, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate could not be resisted in a hurry, I saw the corpses retreating again and again. Seeing that the city gate was in danger, Sun Jian couldn’t consider what was going on. He hurriedly ordered an army of soldiers to reinforce him.

However, before the reinforcements arrived, the gate was already lost, and the gate opened wide.

咚咚咚咚……! The war drums outside the city rang loudly like thunder.

Sun Jian was startled, and quickly looked outside the city, and he saw a surging wave coming from the Qin army outside the city. Sun Jian’s complexion changed drastically, and he quickly led the elite around him and rushed down the city wall and rushed towards the city gate, trying to retake the city gate. However, before he rushed to the city gate, the tide-like Qin army had already rushed in, smashing the Dongwu army trying to retake the city gate in one fell swoop! I saw horseshoes trampled, swords and guns raising blood, and the soldiers of Soochow were killed by this surging offensive. Blocking is already in vain, and the Dongwu Army quickly collapsed in front of this rolling iron hoof!

Sun Jian couldn’t help being very angry, so he yelled and went forward desperately, fortunately, the guards around him tried to persuade him. Sun Jian calmed down a bit, thinking of his family still in the mansion, and quickly led the soldiers and horses around him to the Prince Wu’s mansion.

However, the rapidity of the Qin army’s offensive far exceeded Sun Jian’s expectations. After the Qin army broke through the city gate, it quickly spread along the streets and alleys like a torrent of dykes. The iron hoofs galloped, knives and guns were raging, and there was a huge killing sound. Just like the spring billowing thunder, everything that hindered them from moving forward was quickly destroyed!

When Sun Jian led his army to the streets near the palace, he could no longer move forward. The surging Qin army was killing the fleeing Dongwu army and blocking their way. Sun Jian tried desperately, but was dragged away by the officer beside him.

At this time, the Soochow Army was already defeated, and the remnants would flee the city from the East Gate and flee to the east in a hurry.

Seeing that the army rushed to take control of Jiang Xia, Chen Lang immediately left a part of the troops and continued to clear away the remnant enemy. He led the main force to chase and defeat the enemy from the East City Gate! Seeing the Qin army chasing them out, the Dongwu army, who was escaping slowly, was so frightened that they ran away quickly, hiding in the countryside, or sinking into the forest, panicking like a dog in the family.

Lv Bu led Cao Xing, Hou Cheng, and Five Thousand Warriors in the forefront, killing countless soldiers along the way, with iron hoofs rushing forward! Lu Bu was so excited that he galloped on his horse and shouted at his soldiers: “Brothers, the greatest contribution is the capture of Sun Jian. Give me more effort!” The soldiers became more motivated, and they rushed to gallop at full speed. , The rumbling sound reverberated over the wilderness, a group of Soochow defeated soldiers were scattered by Lu Bu cavalry, Lu Bu and the others were too lazy to take care of these defeated soldiers, they just drove forward, their minds were like capturing Sun Jian alive!

Unknowingly, a wisp of white belly appeared in the distance. Lu Bu and the others galloped for most of the night, and everyone was exhausted. Many horses were cut and scarred by thorns. Cao Xing couldn’t help cursing: “What kind of ghost place is this? Why doesn’t it even have a decent road!?” It turns out that the land of Jiangnan at this time is no better than that of later generations. There is no land transportation that extends in all directions. At this time, Jiangnan is still more. In the wild, there are almost no official roads in the south of the Yangtze River. There are thorns everywhere, and there is not a lot of land to be reclaimed. Farmland is mainly concentrated around several big cities, and transportation mainly depends on water transportation. Lu Bu was fine when they were on the outskirts of Jiangxia city, but as the chasing distance got farther and farther, it became more and more difficult to travel. Not only did the Jiangnan land lack decent official roads, but it was also not as flat as the north, with thorns everywhere. The ups and downs of the mountain range made Lü Bu’s soldiers suffer. Gradually, they couldn’t speed up, and the speed of the cavalry was not much faster than that of the infantry.

When the sky gradually brightened, a forest suddenly lay ahead. Seeing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but sigh with excitement, suddenly feeling depressed.

Cao Xing came to Lu Bu’s side and said, “General, the mountains and rivers here are steep and thorny. Everyone is very tired. I don’t think we can catch up with them anymore. Why don’t you go back and report to the main official!” I gave up and nodded when I heard this.
