Chapter 195: The dragnet is waiting for you! Zhou Yu was killed, are you qualified to compete with Xiao Fang? Kill him instantly with one strike!

Four days later, it was night.

On the west gate tower of Jinling Outer City.

Sun Ce stood proudly on the top of the city wall, holding his sword, looking down at the main camp of Liu Jun outside the city with a cold and murderous gaze.

Inside the city gate, nearly ten thousand Jiangdong soldiers have assembled.

Song Qian, Ling Cao, Dong Xi and other generals from Jiangdong looked at Sun Ce who remained silent, all with expressions of speculation and confusion.

In order to prevent the "traitor" from leaking the secret, Sun Ce did not reveal a single word to the generals.

Therefore, even Song Qian, his most trusted confidant, did not know what Sun Ce was planning to do by gathering his troops in the middle of the night.

After all, the news that Sun Ce asked Liu Bei for peace had been widely circulated in the city in the past few days. From the common people to generals like Song Qian, everyone thought that their lord had been forced to submit to Liu Bei.

There are also rumors that Liu Bei has agreed to Sun Ce's request for peace and will lead his troops to retreat soon.

Since you've already asked for peace, why do you need to mobilize the army tonight?
The generals were all uneasy and full of suspicion.

When the moon passes the zenith.

To the southwest of Liuying, three beacon fires were faintly visible rising in the night sky.

Sun Ce's frown relaxed in an instant, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Liu Bei, do you really think that just because I, Sun Ce, can recognize Yuan Shu as my father, I can put aside my dignity and ask for peace with you?"

"Yuan Shu is a man of three generations of high officials, and you are just a weaver and shoe seller. Do you think you are worthy of me bowing my head to you?"

Sun Ce smiled coldly, then swung his silver spear and shouted:
"All troops, listen up! Open the city gates immediately, lower the drawbridge, and follow me to attack the enemy camp at night!"

When this order came out, all the generals on both sides were shocked.

They finally understood why Sun Ce ordered them to gather troops here in the middle of the night.

It turned out that they were planning a night attack on Liu Jun’s camp!
"My lord, Liu's army has nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, and we only have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack at night. I'm afraid the chances of winning are slim."

Ling Cao couldn't help but stand up and remind him.

Sun Ce raised his mouth with a hint of sarcasm and sneered:

"So what if the big-eared thief has 50,000 troops? Now he believes that I want to make peace with him. He has become arrogant and complacent. He is complacent."

"If I don't launch a night attack when they are off their guard, when will I do it?"

The generals were stunned at first, then they suddenly realized and all of them showed surprise.

Only then did they realize that Sun Ce's so-called request for peace with Liu Bei was actually a tactic of showing weakness, just to make Liu Bei lull into complacency.

"I have said it before, my lord is a hero, how could he possibly ask for peace with Liu Bei? It turns out that my lord has such a brilliant plan!"

"Okay, okay, let's attack tonight, and we will definitely win!"

Song Qian was the first to jump out and shouted excitedly.

The Jiangdong generals, who had originally been low on confidence, were all filled with fighting spirit as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"See that beacon fire? That's old General Demou lighting the signal!"

Sun Ce showed great pride on his face and pointed his spear towards the outside of the city:
"To tell you the truth, Cheng Demou left the east of the city last time to go to Yangxian to take over the 5,000 soldiers who were monitoring Shanyue."

"I have secretly ordered him to lead these 5,000 soldiers to the north through Fangshan and unexpectedly return to the southwest of Jinling."

"Tonight, we will raise a fire as a signal. I will attack Liu Bei's main camp head-on. General Demou will lead his troops to attack the enemy camp from the rear. We will advance from the east and west and destroy the enemy camp in one fell swoop!"

The arrow had been drawn, and Sun Ce no longer had to worry about spies leaking the plan, so he simply told his entire strategy.

The generals were all excited and their fighting spirit was bursting.

Ling Cao, who had just given this reminder, had a look of shame on his face, as if he was embarrassed for his unfounded worries.

"What are you waiting for? Open the city gate and follow me to fight your way out of the city."

"In this battle tonight, I want everyone of you to fight with your lives and show the power of Sun Ce!"

"I want to let the big-eared thief know who has the final say in Jiangdong!"

Sun Ce jumped off his horse and swung his silver spear domineeringly.

The city gates opened and the drawbridge was lowered.

Sun Ce rode his horse, holding his spear, and rushed out of the city.

All the generals led their troops and rushed out of the city gate like a tide, attacking Liu's camp outside the city.

...

West of Liuying.

Cheng Pu was also urging his 5,000 soldiers to attack the rear of Liu's camp.

The Liu camp ahead was brightly lit, and in the light of the fire it was vaguely visible that only a few soldiers on duty were patrolling the camp wall.

"Zhongmou's plan worked. The big-eared thief really thought that Bofu was seeking peace, so he must have been complacent. He never expected that I would attack him from behind."

"I didn't expect that the Sun family, which has been a family of generals for generations, would have such a wise and resourceful son. This is truly a blessing for the Sun family..."

"Yigong, Gongfu, tonight I, your elder brother, will avenge you!"

Cheng Pu's face was burning with vengeance. He raised his sword and shouted:
"Men of the Sun family army, listen to my orders. Follow me to destroy the enemy camp and kill Liu Bei!"

Cheng Pu took the lead, broke through the darkness and rushed towards Liu Ying.

Five thousand new troops from Jiangdong roared and charged forward like tigers and wolves.

Inside Liu's camp, loud gongs sounded immediately, sounding the alarm.

The soldiers on duty, seeing the enemy's massive attack, seemed to be caught off guard and fled in panic.

The camp wall was soon breached.

Cheng Pu rushed in first, sword in hand, and five thousand soldiers behind him rushed up like a tide, charging towards the heart of Liu's camp.

Along the way, there was no Liu army to stop them, and they were unstoppable all the way.

The ferocity on Cheng Pu's face gradually turned into suspicion.

Even if Liu Bei was careless and let down his guard, there were still 50,000 Liu soldiers in the camp, so at most he would have to fight a hasty battle.

But as they fought their way forward, apart from the scattered soldiers on duty, there was not a single sign of Liu's army.

There was no one in those tents.

"Could it be that…"

Cheng Pu shuddered, an ominous thought came to his mind, and he subconsciously slowed down his horse.

On the watchtower in the heart of the central army, Liu Bei and Xiao Fang stood side by side, and had a clear view of Cheng Pu and his five thousand soldiers.

"Everything has gone as the military advisor predicted. Cheng Pu really attacked our rear camp at night, and he even used fire as a signal!"

Liu Bei looked in the direction of the enemy army and exclaimed in admiration.

Xiao Fang smiled faintly, pointed with his feather fan and said:
"The fish is in the net, my lord, it's almost time to close the net."

The emotion on Liu Bei's face instantly turned into murderous intent.

"Beat the drums, send out all the ambush troops, and surround and destroy the invading enemy!"

The order was given and the deafening sound of war drums suddenly rang out.

Tens of thousands of Liu's soldiers who were ambushed around the camp rushed out from the darkness like gods descending from the sky, and pounced on the five thousand Jiangdong troops who had entered the camp from all directions.

At this time, Cheng Pu was still thinking, and his eyes looked around vigilantly.

"No, it's a scam!"

"All troops, listen up! Leave the enemy camp immediately!"

Cheng Pu finally realized that something was wrong, and he turned his horse around and shouted.

The Jiangdong soldiers who were rushing forward had no time to react. The front row stopped and turned around, while the back row was still rushing forward, and for a while they were caught in a crowded situation.

"Boom-boom-boom!"

The sound of war drums broke the noise.

Cheng Pu's heart skipped a beat and he looked around hastily, only to see that countless soldiers suddenly poured out of Liu's camp, which had been empty.

From all directions, like a huge net falling from the sky, it grabbed him and his five thousand Jiangdong soldiers.

"It's a trick!"

"Could it be that the big-eared thief saw through Zhongmou's plan and expected that I would lead my army to attack from behind at night?"

Cheng Pu sucked in a breath of cold air, and his rage for revenge was instantly replaced by horror.

These five thousand soldiers are extremely valuable to Sun Ce.

If I fail here, how can I explain to Sun Ce?

Cheng Pu's face was ashen. He had no time to be surprised. He hurriedly urged his horse to urge his soldiers to break out.

It's too late.

The five thousand elite Changsha soldiers in the front were rushing forward like gods descending from the sky.

The leading veteran, with his sword drawn, shouted:

"Listen, Cheng Pu. My military advisor has long seen through Sun Ce's false request for peace and his plan to attack from both the east and the west!"

"You and your five thousand soldiers have no way to escape!"

"Dismount and surrender, and I will spare your life!"

The thunderous shout drowned out the noise of the battlefield and made the Jiangdong soldiers' scalps numb.

Cheng Pu felt as if his heart was hit by a heavy hammer. His breath stagnated and he almost passed out.

The fact that he was most reluctant to face was cruelly laid before him.

Xiao Fang saw through Sun Quan's plan!
The country bumpkin had long expected that Sun Ce was pretending to seek peace just to buy time for him to transfer troops from Yangxian.

People also expected that Sun Ce and he would light fire as a signal and launch a night attack from both the east and the west in an attempt to defeat Liu Bei's camp.

That's why Liu Bei took advantage of your situation and set up this trap, waiting for you to come and die.

"I should have thought of it earlier. Zhou Yu is not a match for Xiao Fang, so how could Zhongmou possibly be his opponent!"

"Zhongmou, you have harmed me, your brother, and your Sun family..."

Cheng Pu gritted his teeth, his old face twisted into an expression of extreme sadness.

In front.

After going through the motions of persuading the troops to surrender, Huang Zhong spurred his horse and drew his sword, charging into the chaotic Jiangdong army like a god of war.

With the movement of swords, countless Jiangdong soldiers were beheaded like grass.

The Changsha soldiers followed closely, like tigers and wolves pouncing on lambs. In an instant, they killed the Jiangdong army, who were howling like ghosts and running around with their heads in their hands.

At the same time, all the ambush troops arrived and launched a siege on the 5,000 Jiangdong soldiers.

Cheng Pu finally woke up from his grief and anger, rode his horse, brandished his sword, and rushed towards the west to kill.

"I can't die here. Bofu needs me, and the Sun family can't live without me..."

Cheng Pu gritted his teeth secretly and waved his sword like crazy, trying to fight his way out.

Relying on his martial arts, he rushed forward and saw the camp wall in front of him, which seemed to have hope of breaking out.

"Huang Zhong is here!"

"Cheng Pu, where are you going?"

A roar sounded behind him.

Cheng Pu suddenly looked back and saw an old general with half-white hair and beard like him, riding a horse and drawing a sword, rushing towards him like lightning.

Huang Zhong!

Han Dang died at the hands of this man!
Cheng Pumo's eyes were bloodshot, and the rage for revenge overwhelmed his desire to escape.

"Huang Zhong, you bastard, accept your fate—"

Cheng Pu roared like a beast, turned his horse around and rushed towards Huang Zhong.

The two riders collided with each other, and the two swords were drawn almost at the same time.

However, Huang Zhong's sword was as fast as lightning, and with the force of thunder, it swept across first.

"This fellow's swordsmanship is so fast—"

Cheng Pu's eyes widened and his anger instantly turned into surprise.

The next moment, the long sword cut across the waist.

With a scream, Cheng Pu was cut into two pieces.
