Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 429 Danyang Attack: Angry Sun Ce
Zhang Sui saw that Lu Wen had fallen asleep, then he lay down and continued to sleep.

Early the next morning, he was woken up by Lu Wen.

The army will continue to march forward.

Zhang Sui followed the army for one mile towards Ruxu Port.

During this period, Gao Shun came to see Lu Wen several times.

Seeing that Lv Wen was serving as Zhang Sui's personal guard and had food and drink, he felt relieved.

Lu Wen was also quite honest and did not make any more trouble. He followed Zhao Tong and others to guard Zhang Sui obediently.

At noon on the fifth day, Zhang Sui's army stopped thirty miles away from Ruxu Port.

We had just set up half of the camp when we received a battle report from Yan Liang in the front: Liu Xun's 6,000 troops took advantage of the southeast wind and went down the river!

Zhang Sui and his group were overjoyed.

The army was ordered to temporarily stop setting up camp and stay where it was. Zhang Sui, with Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Sima Yi, Xu Rong, Gao Shun and others, headed straight for the vicinity of Ruxu, and finally stopped on a high ground less than two miles away from Ruxu Port.

The broad river surface was endless and filled with warships.

With the help of the southeast wind, the warship headed straight for the other shore.

The messenger sent by Yan Liang pointed to the other side and said, "My lord, the Niuzhu Port in Danyang is ahead."

"The commander in charge of guarding Niuzhu Port was originally Taishi Ci, a native of Donglai, who was originally under the command of Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou."

"A year ago, Liu Yao died of illness, and Sun Ce's army invaded Danyang County and successfully defeated Taishi Ci."

"Taishi Ci not only surrendered to Sun Ce, but also surrendered with his troops."

"Now, Taishi Ci has been appointed as the commander of Danyang by Sun Ce."

"The commander guarding Niuzhu Port became Huang Gai."

"Huang Gai is an old general of Sun Ce's late father, Sun Jian."

"There are only about 3,000 people in Niuzhu Port."

"Originally there were 8,000 people here, and Sun Ce was preparing to head north."

"It just so happened that the bandits in Wu County, Kuaiji County, and Danyang County suddenly rose up."

"Sun Ce personally led the troops to suppress the rebellion and transferred 5,000 men."

"On ordinary days, Sun Ce and Liu Xun don't interfere with each other."

"There is news that Sun Ce has just pacified the bandits, and the army should not have had time to arrive yet."

Tian Feng listened to the report from Yan Liang's messenger and nodded, saying, "What a pity. If Liu Xun was one of ours, we could have taken advantage of the situation and suddenly crossed the river to attack him."

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "Sir, there is no need to regret."

"Wait until we train our own navy, and then we can attack openly."

Tian Feng glanced at Zhang Sui and nodded.

The warships on the river quickly rushed to the shore.

The defenders on the shore obviously did not expect the enemy to attack, so they did not make much preparation.

Under the continuous attack of Liu Xun's army, the defenders were defeated one after another.

As Liu Xun's entire army was about to land, a black line appeared on the horizon deep in Niuzhu Harbor.

Tian Feng's eyes narrowed and he said, "Here they come! The rescue has finally arrived."

No one dared to utter a sound.

The black line quickly approached and expanded, turning into soldiers all over the mountains.

Flags fluttered in the wind.

Liu Xun's army that landed on the shore obviously also noticed the arrival of reinforcements.

The sound of the gong suddenly rang out.

Liu Xun's army retreated like a tide, carrying the bodies of the Danyang defenders they killed onto the warships and retreating towards Ruxu Port.

Deep in Ruxu Harbor, the sound of war drums rang out at the right time.

The whole earth was shaking.

Cavalrymen from all over the mountains and plains rushed over from afar and rushed to the shore of Ruxu Port.

Tian Feng was so excited that he clapped his chin and said, "It's done!"

Guo Jia, Sima Yi and others also smiled.

It’s Yan Liang’s three thousand cavalry!

Liu Xun had originally left a thousand soldiers on the shore of Ruxu Harbor just in case. But how could these thousand soldiers hold out against the attack of Yan Liang's three thousand cavalry?
Yan Liang's three thousand cavalrymen destroyed the defenders' defenses like a whirlwind and occupied Ruxu Port.

Tian Feng hurriedly called on Zhang Sui and others to lead the army to Ruxu Port.

As soon as Yan Liang's 3,000 cavalrymen occupied Ruxu Port, Liu Xun's army retreating on the river noticed the movement.

The army's retreat to Ruxu Port suddenly paused.

At this moment, Yan Liang's three thousand cavalrymen on the shore continued to retreat.

On the shore of the port, dozens of soldiers shouted in unison: "Lujiang soldiers, quickly retreat to the river, the Jiangdong troops are chasing us!"

The army on the river then continued to retreat towards the port of Ruxu Port.

However, they could only retreat to shore.

Three miles from the shore, densely packed cavalry had already formed their array.

It was Yan Liang’s three thousand cavalrymen.

In Liu Xun's retreating army, dozens of burly men in armor surrounded a sullen-faced man in iron armor and holding a long sword.

The strong man was none other than Liu Xun, the governor of Lujiang County and the commander of the attack on Niuzhu Port in Danyang County.

Liu Xun gripped the hilt of the long sword with his right hand, biting his teeth to the point of breaking them.

Where did the cavalry in front come from?
He felt like he was being fooled!

While stopping at the front of the army, Liu Xun roared, "Lu Su! Bring Lu Su here!"

On the other side of the river, at Niuzhu Port, countless reinforcements arrived on the shore.

The leader was none other than Sun Ce!
It was only yesterday that Sun Ce brought Zhou Yu and his army back to Danyang County and met with Danyang County Commandant Taishi Ci to discuss heading north to attack Lujiang County.

But before the attack strategy was decided, Liu Xun's army attacked first!

Sun Ce looked at Liu Xun's army which had retreated to the shore of Ruxu Harbor, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out of it.

What is the situation?

Who gave Liu Xun the courage to take the initiative to attack Danyang County?
Moreover, what does it mean that they are gathering on the shore and not leaving?
Sun Ce glared at the other side and said sternly, "I want to know everything about the other side!"

Before long, a soldier rushed to Liu Xun and said tremblingly: "My Lord, Lu Su was left in the camp before, and the camp was breached by cavalrymen who came from nowhere, so, so--"

Liu Xun was so angry that he screamed, "Ah!!!!"

The soldiers around him were all silent.

At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the crowd: "Cavalry! More cavalry is coming!"

Everyone looked to the east side of the cavalry formation in front.

There, thousands of cavalry were approaching slowly.

Among them, hundreds of cavalrymen on the left were all wearing armor and carrying long-handled weapons.

Even their horses were covered in armor.

The soldiers around Liu Xun all gasped.

They have been in the army for many years, but have never seen such a spectacular cavalry battle!
Liu Xun watched this scene and swallowed his saliva.

Who is this person?
All cavalry.

At least four or five thousand people.

There are also thousands of heavy cavalry!
His six thousand navy soldiers are still on the shore. Isn't this courting death?

Liu Xun turned around and looked behind him again.

Behind me is a big river.

On the other side of the river is Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army.

Liu Xun suddenly felt his legs and feet go weak.

There are strong enemies both in front and behind.

Thinking back to when the powerful market tyrant Lu Su sent him a generous gift, someone advised him not to take the job, but he was blinded by the benefits and accepted it anyway.

Now it seems that this was clearly a plot set up by others!

Liu Xun regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

He kept slapping his thighs.

Greedy!

Why am I so greedy!

Now, you have finally been served on the table as meat and become a lamb to be slaughtered!
