The "swoosh" rain of arrows shot from high and ravaged the sky, with great lethality.

With the loud "boom" sound, rocks and rolling trees crushed down from the hillside, running rampant and unstoppable.

Faced with such a fierce and fierce defensive formation, the Jiangdong Army, which repeatedly tried to raid the mountaintop camp, despite the brave and tenacious battles and rushing forward one after another, were repelled by the defenders of the village again and again, and could not conquer it repeatedly and could not advance in an instant.

Qianshan Camp occupied an absolutely favorable terrain, with sufficient defensive weapons, forcing the Jiangdong Army, which attacked the camp, to repeatedly suffer setbacks and repeatedly return without success.

By this time, the Jiangdong Army had been attacking Qianshan for more than half a month, but had no results.

Not only that, after more than 20 consecutive days of strong attack, the soldiers of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were ordered to attack the mountain village, suffered heavy casualties. They originally led 5,000 troops to chase Yuan Shu's remnants, but now there are only more than 2,000 troops left, and they are trapped and have no power to fight again.

As forced, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin had to jointly request Sun Ce to send troops to reinforce. Before that, they could only do their best to block all intersections down the mountain and stand firmly for help.

Unexpectedly, the whistle cavalry left with a letter of help. In less than half an hour, Sun Ce personally led 3,000 light cavalry and 5,000 infantry to the foot of Qianshan, joined forces with Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and then quickly organized troops to continue to attack the mountaintop camp.

However, the result of this strong attack was no different from before. It was still unable to attack and was defeated by Yuan Jun again.

"Bang!" In the camp at the foot of the mountain, Sun Ce learned that he had failed to attack again. He was furious and slapped the table. The moment he stood up, the desk in front of him made a crack. Then, with a "crack" sounded, the desk broke, and the wooden chips scattered all over the ground.

"Is this unreasonable? Just a straw hut, why can you not defeat me for a long time?" Sun Ce, with a ferocious face, stood up and glared at the generals under the tent. His sharp eyes swept across the generals like sharp blades, and finally fell on the heads of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.

Suddenly, everyone under the tent was silent, and they didn't dare to breathe. They all stood up, trembling and fearful. Especially Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were staring coldly at Sun Ce, held their breath and covered their foreheads with dense beads of sweat the size of beans. Sweat was falling. I didn't know the situation. I thought they were sweating profusely in the cold weather, or were swaying.

It is not difficult to see from this that Sun Ce was a very majestic prince. He was extremely prestigious in the Jiangdong army. He was decisive in killing and decisive in his words. So much so that all the generals under his tent were extremely respectful of him, and no one dared to refute what he said; even if he said it wrong, no one dared to defend or raise objections in front of him. This is the supreme majesty possessed by the superiors. Once a word is expressed, it is an unquestionable golden rule.

"Don't be angry." Just when Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were about to be unable to stand, Zhang Hong flashed out and said respectfully: "This failure to attack the mountain village is not the fault of the two generals. They have already put all their strength into it. The lord just saw that the Yuan army on the mountain was very tightly defended and occupied an extremely dangerous advantage of geographical advantage. He was condescending and waiting for work. Therefore, the attack was strong and fierce, forcing our soldiers to get close to the camp at all.

In addition, the soldiers of the two generals suffered heavy casualties, and there were more than 1,000 disabled soldiers in the western camp alone, and nearly 2,000 soldiers were all killed in battle. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's soldiers have been lost more than half and are indeed unable to fight again. Therefore, although the two generals have no contribution, they have worked hard and their loyalty is commendable. Therefore, I beg my lord to exempt them from punishment, let them make meritorious contributions, and continue to serve in front of the army." This is a real sympathy for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.

Zhang Hong has always been a harmonious person and is very good at dealing with people. Therefore, he has a good reputation among the Jiangdong army and is very popular. Not only that, Sun Ce also has a very good person, even better than Zhang Hong. This is Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu, who was appointed as the chief minister of Jiangdong by Sun Ce. This time, he did not go to war with the army, but stayed in Jiangdong. At present, Zhang Zhao is in charge of civil and military affairs in Jiangdong, and is actually Sun Ce's most trusted arm. He is wise and wise, and is so sophisticated that he is in the world. No one is better than the ministers in Jiangdong.

Seeing Zhang Hong come forward to plead, Sun Ce snorted coldly and moved his cold gaze away from Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. Then he walked to the door of the camp with his right hand, frowned, looked up at the camp on the top of the mountain in a deep voice: "Is Zi Gang good strategy to capture the enemy camp and capture Yuan Shu alive?"

Zhang Hong looked calm after hearing this. It was obvious that when he came forward to plead for Zhou Tai and the other two, he had already expected Sun Ce to ask him for advice. If there was no countermeasure, he would definitely not dare to stand up and be a good person.

"Lord, don't worry, you have a report from me." As he answered respectfully, Zhang Hong walked to Sun Ce lightly and continued, "At present, we can't attack, and the Yuan army dared not go down the mountain. The two sides confronted each other and the battle was stalemate. However, after more than 20 days of fierce fighting, our army suffered a great loss, but did the Yuan army on the mountain have no casualties? I'm afraid it may not be. Perhaps the casualties of the Yuan army are indeed not as heavy as our army, but our army has nearly 3,000 casualties, and the Yuan army paid at least a thousand casualties. If that's true, Yuan Shu was only more than 3,000 defeated soldiers when he fled up the mountain. So how many soldiers did he have now?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Hong paused and pointed his hand at the high mountaintop camp, and said inexplicably: "Look, lord, the mountain village in front of him is placed on the top of the mountain. The terrain is extremely high. Its east and south are cliffs, and birds and beasts are extinct; the north is a dense jungle, which is not conducive to the large group of people going up the mountain, and the west is the place where our army camp is. In this way, as long as our army firmly surrounds the west and north exits, then divides troops to station the streams everywhere, completely blocking the water source on the mountain. The mountain village in front of him will inevitably be destroyed without attack. At least five days or ten days, you can capture Yuan Shu alive!" After a lot of mysterious delusions, Zhang Hong finally expressed his plan, which can be summarized as one sentence: cut off the water source and trap Yuan Shu to death.

This is how literati are. They have to say a lot of big truths that can be explained in one sentence, and they will not say the key points until the end. Especially famous celebrities always have to lay a prelude before speaking. It seems that only in this way can they show their profound knowledge and intelligence; if they say it in a straightforward sentence, they will seem shallow, difficult to attract the attention of others, and it will also seem irrelevant.

Listening to Zhang Hong's words, Sun Ce was very impatient at first. If he hadn't taken into consideration some of Zhang Hong's face, he could almost yell. However, when Zhang Hong said the last sentence, Sun Ce's expression shook, his eyes suddenly shone, and after thinking for a moment, nodded slightly, and a smile finally appeared on his face. However, his smile was very cold, and a sharp cold light burst out from his eyes, his whole body was full of murderous aura. He looked up at the camp on the mountain and sneered.

But while sneering, Sun Ce frowned again, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a deep face, with a little worry in his eyes.

"Deciding the water source is indeed a good way to defeat the enemy, but has Zi Gang ever thought about whether five days have been too long?"

Sun Ce's sudden words made Zhang Hong's expression change. The smile that originally accompanied Sun Ce suddenly darkened and the laughter stopped abruptly. At this moment, Zhang Hong was deeply surprised and speechless, or he had not figured out Sun Ce's intentions yet, so he did not dare to speak easily.

Seeing Zhang Hong's somewhat panicked expression, Sun Ce couldn't help but frown and said, "Zi Gang should be very clear that our army's situation is not optimistic at the moment. Although most of the cities in Lujiang County are in our hands, Li Li's army has not left Shouchun yet, and its vanguard troops are behind our army. Once Li Li decides to attack our army, within two days, the Western Liang cavalry will appear in front of us. How can we deal with it at that time?"

After a brief pause, Sun Ce's face became more and more worried, and he said worriedly: "With our current strength, if we fight against the Western Liang Iron Cavalry head-on, there is no chance of winning. This is a more decent statement. To put it bluntly, it means that our Jiangdong Army is not the opponent of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry at all. Once the war begins, we will definitely lose!

The only thing we can rely on is the Jiangdong Navy, but at this moment we are in Jiangbei, and there is no danger to rely on, and the Navy is useless at all. Therefore, although the strategy of cutting off its water source is acceptable, it is not suitable for the situation facing our army at the moment."

After saying that, Sun Ce turned around and walked to the center of the tent without waiting for Zhang Hong to answer, and ordered sternly: "Lu Dai obeyed the order and led 3,000 troops to the north jungle, blocked the streams, blocked the enemy's water source, and then led his army up the mountain and pressed step by step. No mistakes must be made!"

"I hope, I will take the order!" Lu Dai left in response.

"Taishici, Ling Tong, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang, Chen Wu obeyed the order, and you and others led a thousand soldiers and horses, day and night, and took turns to attack the enemy camp, and there must be no mistakes!"

"No!" Taishici and others responded in unison, then turned around and left the tent.

As the generals took the order, the eight thousand infantry and cavalry, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin brought this time, all of them were sent out, and only one thousand light cavalry remained by Sun Ce.

"Report———Bang!"

Less than half an hour after the generals left the tent, a whistle cavalry rushed into the tent in panic, colliding with Sun Ce, who was wearing armor and about to leave the camp.

"Random!" The whistle rider was hit by Sun Ce and sat on the ground. Sun Ce, who was hit by the soldiers under the tent, was angry and angry. He scolded him sternly and pulled out his sword and wanted to kill the whistle ridicule.

"Lord, please spare your life! Xiliang,,, Xiliang army is here!" Seeing Sun Ce pulling out his sword and swinging, the whistle cavalry hurriedly cried and begged for mercy, and expressed the purpose of the trip.

"Swish!" The sound of the sharp blade breaking through the air buzzing in the whistle driver's ears. The cold light on the back of the sword made his cheeks hurt, but he felt a great surprise in his heart that he had survived the disaster.
