Chapter 137 Sun Ce's Adventures

In this battle, Jinmao suffered almost no casualties.

What’s quite funny is that some Danyang soldiers deliberately smeared blood or inflicted minor injuries on themselves in order to enjoy treatment at the nurses’ barracks, and their screams were louder than those of pigs being slaughtered.

As long as Zhou Xin has no objection to this, Jinmao has no objection either.

235 people were beheaded and more than were captured, with almost no one escaping.

The phrase "three tribes of barbarians" is quite powerful.

Including the previous captives, the total number of captives was 17,000!
Another large number of strong laborers.

After the battle, the army needed to rest for two days, and Jin Mao sent someone to tell Lu Kang the good news.

He also selected a thousand smart young and strong men from the captives and handed them over to Xi Zhicai.

These people will become Jin Mao's mouthpieces and enter Zu Lang's army to publicize Jin Mao's reputation and benevolence.

Jin Mao promised them: "As long as you return with achievements, everyone will have the opportunity to become a soldier in the army."

Thousands of young and strong men already knew the treatment Jinmao received in the army, and they wished they could chop off Zu Lang's head and present it to them on the spot.

What's good about being a rebel? Except for a few leaders who enjoy the best food and drink, the people below will still starve to death.

The remaining 16,000 captives will need to stay in Danyang County to open up land so that late rice can be planted earlier and the harvest this year can be higher.

...

Shouchun County, Jiujiang County.

As the capital of Yangzhou, Zu Lang would naturally not let go of this precious land.

The former governor of Yangzhou, Chen Wen, died in battle just after taking office. The prefect of Jiujiang, Fu Qian, was even more tragic, as he died in the battle to defend Shouchun County before he even took office.

After the city was broken, the powerful families in Shouchun County took advantage of the chaos to break out of the siege, escaped across the Huai River, and took refuge in Shen County, Yuzhou.

Sun Ce's family was also among them.

The 14-year-old Sun Ce was seven feet seven inches tall, and his muscles had not yet grown. However, because he had practiced martial arts since childhood, he had considerable courage and strength, much more than that of an ordinary adult.

If it weren't for his family's burden, Sun Ce would definitely have fought back alone.

Now that his family had settled in Shen County, Sun Ce was planning to cross the river and counterattack.

After more than a month of lobbying, many of the wanderers and powerful men who had broken out wanted to go back with Sun Ce to take a look.

Soon, a team of a thousand people, led by Sun Ce, carefully crossed the Huai River and arrived in Shouchun County.

Zu Lang had already gone to Chaohu, and Shouchun County was deserted, no longer as prosperous as it once was.

Sun Ce wanted to go further south, but the powerful people did not want to follow him anymore. Their goal had been achieved. As long as they brought all their families to Shouchun, their future would be better than before.

"You rats!" Sun Ce said angrily, "Even if I'm alone, I'll kill a few Yellow Turban rebels to vent my anger!"

After hearing what Sun Ce said, nearly a hundred rangers wanted to follow him.

After Shouchun, the team of a thousand people became a team of a hundred people.

The problems have just begun.

After marching for three days, Sun Ce was embarrassed to find that they had run out of food.

It turned out that it was the powerful people who brought enough food and fodder along the way that supported a thousand people to cross 200 miles from Shen County, Yuzhou to Shouchun County.

Sun Ce was too young, and was full of enthusiasm, but he did not carefully consider the issue of food and fodder while marching.

I thought that I might be able to get supplies when I reached the next county town.

Unexpectedly, Chengde County south of Shouchun County was occupied by the bandit army. Was the hope of replenishing food and grass shattered?
Do not!
Sun Ce will never admit defeat!

After a day of observation, Sun Ce led a hundred people and disguised themselves as a rebel army and successfully sneaked into the city.

but!

The situation inside the city is even more terrifying than outside.

In just a few hours, Sun Ce saw people die in various ways.

There was only numbness on the faces of these thieves, numbness to life and death, numbness to everything. This place seemed to have become an animal city. There was no trace of the human world at all!

After a brief shock, Sun Ce adjusted his mentality and gathered the rangers who followed him.

"I want to eliminate the leader of this gang!"

"Who of you is willing to go on an adventure with me?"

The rangers all echoed: "Why not?"

Sun Ce nodded, and without any plan, he led his men to arrest people and interrogate them along the way.

"Where is the Marshal?"

"Marshal?" The passerby looked at Sun Ce numbly and pointed in a direction after a while.

Sun Ce followed the direction and found a house. There were laughter and screams inside.

"kill!"

Sun Ce was the first one to kick the door open, holding a spear and shooting any man he saw. The rangers then filed in.

Soon, there were only a dozen naked women left in the house, some fat, some thin, some skinny, and all kinds of people.

Sun Ce and others had no desire at all, and their eyes were attracted by the food on the table.

"Brothers, let's eat first!"

The group of people ate voraciously for half an hour. During this time, a woman regained consciousness and kept taking out more food from the room.

After eating and drinking, it was getting dark.

Sun Ce was still not satisfied and said, "This family doesn't look like the greatest commander in this county. When it's dark and windy at night and we kill people, are you willing to fight with me again?"

The rangers were excited: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The huge shouting attracted the enemy troops, and a large group of young and strong men gathered outside the yard.

Seeing this, Sun Ce couldn't help but get even more excited, "Everyone, follow me to kill the enemy!"

After he roared, he charged out with his spear. The enemy soldiers were not able to match him at all. In the blink of an eye, four or five of them fell.

The rangers' morale was boosted and they rushed out shouting.

In a matter of minutes, more than a thousand young and strong bandits were killed and fled, leaving behind hundreds of corpses.

Sun Ce put down his spear, breathing heavily, his whole body as if he had taken a bloody bath.

The rangers were in the same boat. They were so tired that they sat on the ground and laughed out loud.

"carefree!"

“Very enjoyable!”

At this time, a woman full of hatred said: "My fellow heroes, I know where the bandit leader Mao Gan is. Do you dare to kill him?"

Sun Ce looked in the direction of the voice and saw the first woman in the yard who had regained consciousness. She was the one who led the other women to take out the food from the house. "Why not!"

Sun Ce said proudly: "Please lead the way, I will definitely take that Zong Shuai's dog head!"

The woman nodded bitterly and said, "Please follow me."

Seeing Sun Ce following the unknown woman without hesitation, the rangers panicked.

"Sir, we admire your courage, but we can't just trust someone you just met once!"

Sun Ce explained: "You are wrong, this is not the first time we have seen her!"

"When we entered the city, we saw those who died. They were the same as her. They shared the same hatred."

"I believe that such a person cannot be bribed by the enemy!"

The woman was very grateful.

The rangers thought it made sense and followed Sun Ce to the tiger's den.

The group of people walked around in circles, and suddenly the view in front of them opened up.

This is the Chengde County Yamen. There is a bright fire inside the yamen, and all kinds of laughter are unbearable to the ears. Judging from the noise, there are quite a few people inside.

"This is it!"

Sun Ce was very sure, "In a while, I will charge in first, and you will follow, cooperating as before."

Everyone agreed.

Afterwards, Sun Ce came to the outside of the yamen in the dark.

"who?"

The enemy's sentries were very lax and they didn't notice until Sun Ce got close.

"kill!"

Sun Ce stabbed the sentry to death immediately, but it was still a step too late. People in the courtyard shouted and responded.

Sun Ce didn't care, he held a spear and charged left and right, killing people in the courtyard.

Unfortunately, although the front yard is easy to enter, the central hall is crowded with people.

Sun Ce wanted to kill his way through, but failed the first time. When the rangers gathered together for the second time, Sun Ce charged again and finally fought his way out.

My eyes suddenly opened up.

I saw Mao Gan hiding at the back, with three rows of crossbowmen standing in front.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

Sun Ce let out a strange cry, and did a bridge pose, supporting himself on the ground with one hand.

“Buzz buzz buzz” “Ahhhh!”

The rangers who followed in were not so lucky. They wanted to retreat, but there were so many people behind them that more than 30 of them were shot dead in the first round of volleys.

Sun Ce stretched his waist, straightened his body, and attacked with hatred. The spear in his hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, and in an instant, the group of crossbowmen were killed and fled in all directions.

The rangers who rushed in from behind were not to be outdone. They shouted for revenge for their brothers and chased after the crossbowmen who had no time to reload.

At the front, Sun Ce ignored everything and went straight to Mao Gan.

"Roar!" Mao Gan drew his sword and fought.

I don’t know if it’s because he has been exhausted during this period of time, or if Mao Gan is just that weak.

Sun Ce thrust upward, smashed downward, and stabbed straight ahead, and in just three rounds, Mao Gan was stabbed to death.

You have to know that Sun Ce's strength is not yet full, and after a series of bloody battles, his physical strength has long been exhausted, and he is fighting only with passion.

Looking at his exhausted expression after stabbing Mao Gan to death, it can be seen that Sun Ce was already at the end of his strength. If Mao Gan had held on for one or two rounds, Sun Ce would have been the one to die.

After killing Mao Gan, Sun Ce felt relieved and thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"careful!"

The woman leading the way exclaimed, and Sun Ce turned his head to see a furious scene.

A crossbowman pretending to be dead secretly loaded the crossbow and wanted to launch a sneak attack on Sun Ce, but was discovered by the female guide who blocked the arrow for Sun Ce.

"what!"

Sun Ce's eyes turned red. He pulled the gun from Mao Gan and stabbed the attacker to death.

At this time, more than a dozen rangers gathered together.

Sun Ce hurriedly ordered: "There are still people pretending to be dead on the ground, everyone be careful!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately raised their swords and stabbed the "corpses" on the ground one by one.

Sure enough, four or five people who were not dead yet died again.

Sun Ce couldn't help but feel a little scared. He didn't expect these people to be so insidious.

When the pursuing rangers returned, Sun Ce did not dare to stay long and left this dangerous place with the fifty or so survivors.

But the bloodstains on their bodies were too obvious, so they had nowhere to escape to. As soon as they stepped out of the door, they were blocked by Mao Gan's subordinates and taken back to the county government office.

"What should I do?"

Not only Sun Ce, but everyone else was out of strength. It was impossible for them to break out, but being trapped here was also a dead end.

suddenly.

When Sun Ce saw Mao Gan’s body, a plan came to his mind.

The next day.

When the first ray of sunlight pierces the darkness of Chengde County.

A head was thrown out of the county government office, and a man with a duck voice shouted, "The bandit leader Mao Gan is dead. The governor of Yuzhang will lead more than 10,000 elite soldiers to attack the city soon. If you don't want to die, retreat quickly!"

When the rebel army saw that it was indeed the head of Zongshuai Mao Gan, they were immediately panicked.

In addition, there were a few knights who had changed their clothes and mixed in with the crowd, shouting: "The government troops are entering the city! The government troops are entering the city!"

All of a sudden, the enemy army lost their composure and no matter how the wise men tried to stop them, it was useless.

"The Yuzhang governor has entered the city!"

"The governor of Yangzhou has entered the city!"

"The Governor of Yangzhou has resurrected!"...

The rebel army spread the story by word of mouth, and in the end, the story became more and more outrageous.

Within two days, the Chengde bandit army collapsed, fled out of the city, and headed towards Hefei and other counties.
