The cold moon hangs in the sky, and the stars in the night sky are sparse.

The north wind whistled through my ears, as if loneliness was deliberately disturbing people, moaning and whispering, wanting to spend the cold night with my soulmate.

It is midnight and the weather is cold.

The battle between the defenders of Dongyuan City and the 50,000 vanguards and front troops of Sun Ce's troops was over, and it lasted from evening to late at night, and at this time everything was settled.

Xi Yuyu!

A wailing sound of a frightening horse cut through the long night, breaking the silence, and the cold wind was filled with strong blood, rendering the weirdness and mystery of the night, which was terrifying.

Outside the south gate of Dongyuan City, a bloody battle had just ended. At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city were cleaning the battlefield and clearing the remains of the corpse. On the huge battlefield, dozens of unowned war horses neighed and whined, wandering beside the master who died in battle for a long time and were reluctant to leave. They added a little bit of sound to the night, as if they were eager to break free from the darkness that devoured the light.

Two hours ago, Sun Ce, a severely injured Allied vanguard general, blatantly ordered a large-scale attack. At the right time, more than 30,000 Baibo troops were the first to attack. Seeing the enemy's momentum, the three thousand infantrymen and two thousand war cavalry left by the Xiliang army retreated to the city instantly, and then closed the city gates and defended the city to the death.

Just as all Bai Bo's army rushed to the city to attack the city, the vanguard general Sun Ce suddenly broke his wound and fell off his horse, causing Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang to get out of the way, and then led more than 16,000 Yangzhou who were about to attack the city to retreat urgently. Then they rushed up the unconscious Sun Ce in a hurry and retreated quickly, then abandoned Bai Bo's army and evacuated directly from the battlefield to return to the camp.

When the three leaders of Baibo Army, Han Xian, Yang Feng and Li Le discovered that Sun Ce's headquarters were all withdrawing from the battle, the siege had already begun for half an hour. The fierce battle was in full swing, and the fierce fighting was in full swing. It was impossible to escape the entanglement of the Xiliang defenders. It was impossible to escape unscathed. Seeing this, the three leaders of Baibo Army were anxious but helpless. Apart from cursing Sun Ce for insidious deception, the Yangzhou Army was as timid as a mouse, there was no way to do anything.

Immediately, just as they hesitated for a while and finally decided to take their personal soldiers out of the battlefield, they saw the city gate suddenly open, and tens of thousands of Xiliang war cavalry rushed out of the city, heading straight for the back formation of the Baibo Army like a strong wind and falling leaves.

At this moment, Han Xian, Yang Feng and others saw that the generals leading the Xiliang war cavalry out of the city were Teng Xiao, the commander of Anyi. dozens of Xiliang generals were followed. Tie Xiao, Guo Meng, Xu Ding, Xu Huang, He Yi and other generals actually rushed out and all went out of the city to fight. The person who stayed at the top of the city to command the soldiers to fight in blood and defend the city was Li Li himself.

In other words, among the defenders of Dongyuan City, except for more than 10,000 county soldiers and infantry, the remaining 20,000 Wuwei Camp war cavalry came out in full swing and killed the Baibo army that was sieging the city.

In an instant, Teng Xiao led 500 personal guards to take the lead, abandoning the Baibo army infantry at the city, and ignoring the sword, heading straight into the backyard where Han Xian, Yang Feng and Li Le were located, and the remaining 20,000 Wuwei camp war cavalry rushed towards the Baibo army, which was busy siege at the city. In an instant, the Wuwei cavalry swept past like a flood, holding sharp edges, and was unstoppable. They rushed the Baibo army into pieces and fled in a hurry. Then, Wuwei camp divided troops and divided the 30,000 Baibo army and wiped them out, and the two-legged infantry could not escape the four-legged war horse.

Under the night, the entire encirclement and annihilation battle was actually a massacre. More than 30,000 Baibo troops were caught off guard and were no match for the Wuwei camp war cavalry. Seeing the Western Liang cavalry rushing towards them, tens of thousands of Baibo troops scattered. They were only concerned about panic and running, and they didn't even have a decent resistance. Such a one-sided battle was not considered a battle at all, but a massacre. The result can be imagined.

In the pursuit of Wuwei Iron Cavalry swept the battlefield, the entire battle ended in less than two hours, and more than 30,000 Baibo troops were almost wiped out. Wuwei Camp won a complete victory. In contrast, because more than 16,000 infantry and cavalry of Sun Ce's troops evacuated the battlefield in time, they were able to escape unscathed, except for Zu Mao, who died under Ma Chao's gun, almost no one soldier was lost.

At the same time, under the supervision of the battle by coach Li Li himself, the defenders of Dongyuan City performed extremely bravely and fought bloody battles without retreating, resulting in more than 3,000 Baibo troops who were eager to attack the city failed to climb to the top of the city from beginning to end, and Dongyuan City was as solid as a soup.

———————————————

"Report to the lord, our army's soldiers were less than 3,000 casualties in this battle, including more than 1,300 infantry, more than 600 cavalry, and more than 800 soldiers were injured. It can be said that they won a great victory!"

In the main hall of the city guarding the mansion, Li Ligao, who had just returned to the mansion, sat in the main seat, took the teacup handed over by the maid, took a sip of tea, and listened to Guo Jia, who was reporting the battle under the hall with a smile.

"Okay! I will destroy the Baibo army in today's battle. The results are far beyond our expected goals. It's very good. Hahaha!" Li Li said with a smile.

Then he waved his hand to signal Guo Jia to sit down and laughed: "I have been busy all day long. I don't have to be polite to be filial, sit down and talk."

"Thank you lord to give your seat!" Guo Jia bowed and immediately moved to the left to sit down, laughing: "The reason why this battle was so smooth is that Teng Xiao, Tie Xiao and Xu Ding, the soldiers of the Wuwei Camp were the first to be the best. Our army took the initiative to attack, and General Teng Xiao led the soldiers to kill Han Xian, and then captured Han Xian alive in three matches. General Tie Xiao was not far behind, and followed him to fight Yang Feng. In less than ten rounds, Yang Feng fell off his horse and captured him alive; General Xu Ding killed Li Le through a fierce battle. At this point, the four leaders of the Baibo army had left, and the remaining bandit leaders Han Xian and Yang Feng were also captured alive by our army. Since then, the Baibo thieves have gone, and after this battle of Sili, our army only needs to send county soldiers to encircle and suppress, and it can be destroyed in ten days!"

"Han Xian, Yang Feng was captured alive by our army?" Li Liliu pondered in surprise.

Guo Jia nodded happily and said, "It is precisely because Han Xian, Yang Feng and Li Le died or lived in a bird that the Baibo army had no leader and fled. Then we were divided into troops and finally captured them in one net. According to the report of the whistle cavalry, there were less than a thousand people in the Baibo army in this battle to escape in the chaos, and the remaining 30,000 troops were wiped out."

"Wuwei Camp killed more than 30,000 people in two hours, were there no prisoners?" Li Li's face changed slightly and he asked.

"Hahaha!" Guo Jia laughed and replied, "Lord, don't worry. Not all of these 30,000 Baibo troops were killed. Most of them are still alive. Less than 7,000 people were actually killed by our army on the spot. The remaining 20,000 people knelt down and begged for surrender when they saw that there was nowhere to escape. Now they are imprisoned in the prisoner-of-war camp in the west of the city, waiting for the lord to fall."

"That's good." Li Li nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, these White Bo thieves were all poor. They blindly followed the Yellow Turban thieves to rebel and uprising in their early years. After the Yellow Turban thieves were wiped out, the counties and counties did not pardon their crimes, but instead wanted to capture them everywhere, forcing them to continue to be bandits. Before this, the reason why I did not order Teng Xiao to lead the army to eliminate the White Bo thieves was to recruit them to avoid unnecessary fighting and bleeding. Unfortunately, they did not appreciate it and seemed to believe that I would pardon their past crimes. This time they even joined forces to participate in the Hanoi Alliance and continue to be enemies with our army, which led to the disaster today.

Fortunately, everything has been resolved now. The entire Baibo thief was wiped out, which not only weakened the strength of the Allied Army, but also shocked the Heishan Army under Zhang Yan, so that they would not fight with our army regardless of casualties. More importantly, Zhou Yu is now leading the army to capture Bingzhou, and sooner or later they will encounter Baibo army. Our army destroyed Baibo army in one fell swoop tonight, which is equivalent to clearing obstacles for Zhou Yu's army, which can be said to be two birds with one stone. It is for this reason that I agreed to the conditions proposed by Sun Ce, and the 30,000 Baibo army will be exchanged for a emperor's edict. This transaction is not a loss!"

"Uh!" Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly realized: "So that's it! I told him why Sun Ce was not in a coma early but was caught off guard when Bai Bo's army attacked the city. It turned out that this was something he and his lord had already agreed on. During the war, he sold Bai Bo's army to us in exchange for the official title he needed. Sun Ce was really not simple!

This boy seems to have a bad temper, reckless temper, but he is actually treacherous and resourceful. The most rare thing is that he dares to meet with his lord while seriously injured. This perseverance and courage are really amazing. From this, it can be seen that Sun Ce has a great goal to lead the army and alliance this time, and he is extremely ambitious and should not be underestimated!"

"Your words seem to mean something else?" Li Li asked with a smile.

Guo Jia nodded and said bluntly: "It's true. I wonder if the lord has ever thought about it. Although Sun Ce is Sun Jian's son, he has not received any imperial edicts so far, and is not even a filial piety or integrity. However, once this edict is handed over to him, it is equivalent to allowing him to ascend to the sky. Will he become bigger day by day and continue to be enemies with his lord? If so, wouldn't the lord's actions today be equivalent to raising a tiger as a disaster?"

After his tone paused, Guo Jia continued: "In addition, Sun Ce used the price of betraying Baibo's army to exchange for an imperial edict. On the surface, we did not suffer any loss, but in fact, Sun Ce was the biggest winner. Because the Baibo thief had nothing to do with him, he was just temporarily sent by Yuan Shao to listen to him. However, when he betraying Baibo thief for official titles, he was actually just a waste of money. The Baibo army suffered a loss, but Sun Ce benefited. As for us, even if Sun Ce did not make trouble, our army could still defeat Baibo's army, but the price was higher than that now, and he could not wipe out the Baibo thief in one battle."

"What Fengxian said is very true." Li Li nodded and said, "I have considered all of what you said, and I know Sun Ce's true intention to do so. However, it is precisely because he has two ambitions for the Allied forces and intends to borrow the Allied troops to seek profit for himself. This is the fundamental reason why I promised to give him an edict. As for whether he will grow bigger day by day in the future, it goes without saying that, but this has no direct relationship with us. There will be no conflict of interest within at least three to five years. When he is truly an enemy of me in the future, I will not be afraid of him! To be honest, I can help him up with one hand today, and I can destroy him with the other hand in the future!"
