The ancient Songz Road, which is reflected in layers of twilight, exudes the coolness of winter in the twelfth month. The artemisia covered with the post road was trampled on the side, which was the mark left by the refugees who fled their homes. Now, an army of more than 3,000 people is advancing quickly like a long snake. The large embroidered "Zhou" on the flag of the central army is even more eye-catching. With the support of the generals and officials under the banner, Zhou Yu's fair and handsome face is particularly eye-catching.

"Send the order and run forward. Be sure to arrive at Songds City before Gao Chong escapes." A burst of excitement flashed across Zhou Yu's handsome face.

Gao Chong, it’s time for us to meet again. Do you still remember the battle in Fanyang? I, Zhou Yu, have never forgotten that the current situation is so similar to that at that time, except that the protagonists have exchanged positions. The person who is chasing me is Zhou Yu, and you are being chased - Gao Chong.

This time, I want to see how you escaped. Facing Gao Pet, who almost started from scratch but was able to occupy the large areas of Yuzhang, Luling, Guiyang and Lingling in just over two years, Zhou Yu felt very dissatisfied and had a desire to compete with him.

"Is there any news about General Guoyi?" Zhou Yu tried hard to calm down and asked.

This time, the side troops sent troops to Peng Ze. Although the commander was Zhou Yu and Sun Fu was only the deputy general, Sun Fu and Sun Ce had a blood relationship closer than others, so Zhou Yu's tone had to ease a lot.

"Not yet." The soldiers on the side replied.

"Send my order quickly, and order the army to follow up quickly. Be sure to arrive at the foot of Baiya Mountain at the hour of Hai. If there is any problem, military law will be carried out!" Zhou Yu's face was gloomy and he shouted loudly.

At the normal marching speed, Sun Fu should have already landed on the shore and moved closer to his side. Why is there no news yet? If he delays and lets Gao Chong recover, the battle will be difficult. Zhou Yu's heart is filled with a hint of unhappiness.

At the foot of Baiya Mountain, the fierce offensive and defensive battle between the two sides finally began.

Relying on the favorable terrain, Lei Xu's troops gathered all the forces at the pass, blocking Zhou Yu's pace of progress. Zhou Yu's army relied on its number advantage to launch uninterrupted attacks, trying to exchange time for the enemy's fatigue and find opportunities to break through.

Night is beneficial and unfavorable for Lei Xu.

Using the cover of the night, Lei Xu can guard important passes and block enemies that are far more than himself at the foot of the mountain. However, at the same time, facing enemies with obvious numbers, Lei Xu's army, who is at a disadvantage, was extremely tired after defending for a night.

"Brothers, come on the fight!" A deep and long wound was cut by the enemy on Lei Xu's left cheek. The dirty blood and the rolled flesh mixed together, making the giant-like Lei Xu even more terrifying. It was possible to block it once more. Although Lei Xu was still fighting with all his strength, he felt that his strength was slowly disappearing with the blood flowing through the wound.

"Boys, you have to cross Baiya Mountain unless you climb over your Grandpa Lei." Lei Xu roared and waved his sword to slash, and an enemy soldier suddenly had his head and head differently.

The casualties of both sides were increasing little by little. When it was dawn, the attack and defense had been fought dozens of times. Lei Xu's 300 dead soldiers were left with less than fifty people, while Zhou Yu's army suffered even greater casualties. Three thousand soldiers were divided into six teams. Each team attacked for an hour, and each team suffered casualties of varying degrees.

On January 4, the third year of Jian'an, the small mountains were on the river.

On the wide river near Wancheng, more than 200 Mengchong battleships were sailing against the wind in a row. The narrow and long three-masted warships unique to Jiangdong were shining with golden light in the sun. The huge sails on three sides had all fallen down. The slurrymen urged the slurry and rowed hard.

Sun Fu's young and childish face was filled with infinite desire for victory. Hearing Zhou Yu's military order, he shook his head angrily and said to the deputy general beside him: "Brother, let the Zhou surname be the chief general. Look at his spirit, how can we take us seriously!"

"General, didn't you say you were attacking Pengze? Why did you go north again?" asked a close aide.

"Hmph!" Sun Fu snorted coldly, without saying a word.

If I put the ready-made Peng Ze, I would not fight, and I had to work hard to go north to Wancheng. Zhou Yu wanted to avenge Fanyang's revenge, so I would go to Wancheng by myself. I would have to pull me up. The first contribution to killing Gao Chong was from my elder brother and second brother. Even if I wanted to make contributions and wanted to be crazy, I would not go to Wancheng.

"General——!" A scout school jumped out of the boat quickly and shouted.

"What's the matter?" asked the personal soldiers guarding Sun Fu.

"General, several Jinfan battleships appeared in Xiaogu Mountain in front of him - it may be that Jinfan thieves are coming!" The school looked extremely frightened. For these people who grew up by the river, Jinfan thieves are invincible troops traversing the Yangtze River.

Sun Fu was surprised and happy. What was surprised was that Gan Ning's appearance would be a fierce battle. What was happy was that if Gan Ning could be defeated in one battle, it would not only avenge the bloody revenge of his brother Sun Ben's murder, but also make himself famous in Jiangdong.

"Come on the battle!" Sun Fu had no choice but to shout loudly.

"General——, what should we do with General Zhou Yu's orders!" the deputy general reminded softly.

Sun Fu stepped onto the ship armor, stared at the river, and laughed: "The enemy is fierce, and it will not be too late to meet after I defeat the Gan thief."

Xiaogu Mountain has beautiful scenery and is independent and does not support it. It looks at the sky pillar in the north and Kuanglu in the south, and stalking the throats of the waters of Chu, Shu, Yuzhang, and therefore it is known as the Wuguan of Chu. Its terrain is extremely dangerous and is a place that military strategists must fight for. The sea tide will not rise anymore, and it is also known as the "First Pass of Haimen".

Ganning's water village is located on Xiaogu Mountain, with more than a hundred Jinfan battleships hanging with the word "Gan" lined up. Facing the Sun Fu naval army coming from afar, the athletes who are accustomed to storms are full of confidence.

The scouts on the river surface on the top of the cliff waved the flag in their hands quickly. On the open river surface connected by the sky and water, several small black dots were slowly enlarging. They were Sun Fu's navy lined upwards in a row.

"My boys, it's time to kill the enemy!" Gan Ning took a pair of big hammers from his personal guards and shouted loudly.

"Dong, dongdong..." A fierce drum sound suddenly sounded, and the drum sound was like a storm, urging people to rise up. Under the huge flag of Jinfan, Gan Ning stood in front of a big cowhide drum, and the two hammers fell down. The exciting drum beats rose and fell one after another with the gesture, as if thousands of troops were fighting, which made people feel excited when they heard it.

Just as the sound of the drums was so intense that Jinfan was ready to go, the wide bow of Mengchong ship crashed into layers of turbid waves and went down the river quickly.

"It's the enemy-!" Sun Fujun's scout who was in charge of patrol screamed and was about to turn around and report the news, but not long after he walked, he was caught up by the Ganning Mengchong battleship, which had been pulled all over the sails. Sun Fujun's boat was like a drowning man who fell into the water. Before the two ships collided, they were overturned by the huge waves.

Gan Ning is much stronger than Sun Fu when it comes to how to use his skills in the Yangtze River and defeat his enemy's shortcomings. The key to water battle is to take the upper reaches first and then rely on the huge tension driven by the sails to go straight down the current. Generally speaking, it is difficult for the enemy's ships to organize strong resistance when facing such a rapid conical charge.

Sun Fu is now in such a dilemma. Under Gan Ning's fierce attack, more than 200 Sun Fu's army's newly launched warships were cut into pieces. Sun Fu's main ship and more than 20 guard ships were separated in Jiangbei, while most of the remaining warships had to collide like a group of headless flies because they lost command.

"Quick, block the gap!" Gan Ning shouted loudly.

Amid the shouts of killing, Gan Ning stood majestic at the bow of the ship, holding a strong bow in his hand, and only sought out the commanding generals on the enemy ship to shoot, but when the bowstring sounded, the enemy generals fell down in response.

The subsequent hand-to-hand combat was even more of a nightmare for Sun Fu's soldiers. Gan Ning's military soldiers walked and rode, jumped and moved like they were on the flat ground, and they were all holding swords bare shirtless, not avoiding arrows and stones, and were not afraid of death. As soon as they came into contact with Sun Fu's army, they were defeated.

Seeing that the Sun army soldiers who were unable to compete with the situation jumped into the river one after another, trying to escape from the water. Unexpectedly, the Yangtze River surging, how could it be compared with ordinary rivers? The drowning Sun army soldiers had to seize one or two oars, one sinking and one floating in the river, but soaking in the biting cold river water will soon suck away all their heat.

"Hurry up - seize Xiaogu Mountain!" Sun Fu's voice was a little overwhelmed. He never expected that Gan Ning's attack would be so sharp that he had no time to react.

Now, the fleet in the river has no leader. If it continues for a while, when the morale of the army is declining, the more than 100 warships will collapse without fighting. Therefore, the urgent thing is to inspire morale and destroy the enemy's arrogance.

Where is the enemy's weakness? Sun Fu is not an incompetent person. After panic, he saw the flags waving frequently on Xiaogu Mountain. This is the center of Ganning's command and dispatch. If he can take down the important place of Xiaogu Mountain in one fell swoop, the enemy's attack will lose its direction, and then things can still be done.

"Roar over!" Sun Fu tried hard to cut off the enemy hook of an enemy ship. Under the siege of the enemy ship, less than five warships were left with Sun Fu, and the rest were all destroyed.

Fortunately, Sun Fu finally leaned against the warship at the foot of Xiaogu Mountain. As long as the rest leads the army to the cliff, the battle situation will be reversed.

Sun Fu's young face showed a look of relief. This was his first independent leadership battle. He could never defeat or defeat.

However, the ruthless facts in front of him shattered Sun Fu's dream. Before he could celebrate, a team of three or four hundred men in brocade uniforms and steel knives suddenly appeared behind Gushan. This group of enemy soldiers was so elite and brave that they almost defeated more than one hundred Sun soldiers who had killed ashore in a blink of an eye.

"General, run away!" A personal guard who fled onto the boat rushed to hold Sun Fudao who was about to go ashore to fight.

Just like a gambler who lost a bet, Sun Fu knew that he had lost, but he still refused to admit his account. His eyes were red and he roared loudly: "What are you afraid of? I, Sun Fu, want to see who can survive to the end."

When Sun Fu said this, he was surrounded by hundreds of warships in the river, under the surrounding attack of the Ganning Navy. More than half of the soldiers were injured and killed. Many ships fled, and after all the soldiers fled, the unowned warship drifted downstream along the river.

"General, it will be too late if you don't leave!" The deputy general hugged Sun Fu tightly and cried.

"I will see you again when I have a crushing defeat this time!" Sun Fu's eyes were crazy and struggled to find Gan Ning.

At this time, Gan Ning was standing on the Jinfan Ship with great enthusiasm, commanding his athletes to chase and kill the fleeing Sun Jun's remaining ships. In this battle, Gan Ning stood at the forefront of the battle from beginning to end. Whenever he encountered the enemy ship's desperate resistance, his ship rushed towards the enemy like a sharp arrow, causing the little fighting spirit that the enemy had just bulged away in an instant.

In just over three hours of contact, Sun Fu's more than 200 warships remained, and less than 30 of the elite Sun Army were left. Only less than a thousand people fled back to the north shore with Sun Fu, which could almost be said to be the destruction of the entire army.

Just when Sun Fu and Gan Ning were fighting fiercely in Xiaogu Mountain, the offensive and defensive battle at the foot of Baiya Mountain showed an even more tragic situation.

At dawn, Han Dang's troops, who occupied Wancheng, finally arrived at the foot of Baiya Mountain. After joining Zhou Yu's army, they immediately took over the task of attacking the pass. Faced with the Han Dang soldiers with strong morale, Lei Xu no longer had any illusions.

Haha———The torn knife edge was rolling with flesh and blood, but there was no pain. The dark enemy soldiers under the cliff came up again. Lei Xu didn't know how many times this was. The knife in his hand had rolled the blade, and the blood in his chest was almost drained.

"Pampered handsome, Lei Xu did his best!" Before the last battle, Lei Xu looked up at the sky. The rising sun in the east was rising, and the morning glow reflected half of the sky.

...

"Zi Yang, how many soldiers can be collected?" Gao Chong was anxious.

Once Baiya Mountain is lost and Songzi City has no danger to defend, Sun Ce's army will march straight in and encircle and annihilate himself and these followers on the Yangtze River.

Lei Xu had been struggling for a night, and if there were no reinforcements, Gao Chong would no longer dare to think about it.

Liu Ye looked haggard and said dejectedly: "There are less than a hundred people."

Late last night, Xu Shu and Chen Lan had already taken some soldiers and the people to escort the captured supplies and cross the river first. Apart from the people of Anhui City who had arrived one after another, there were only a handful of soldiers left in Songzi City.

"You can't wait any longer. Only these hundred people have to go for reinforcements. If you hesitate, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Gao Chong's eyes were covered with blood, and his voice was even more hoarse.

Liu Ye said: "People coach, Peng Ze's reinforcements should be coming soon, let's wait!"

Gao Chong smiled bitterly and said, "Zi Yang, time is no longer waiting. You stay in the city to take care of you. I will go and respond to Lei Xu!" After that, Gao Chong turned over and jumped onto the horse, waved his long wave, and was about to ride his horse towards Baiya Mountain.

"Pamper yourselves, walk slowly-!" With this loud shout, a young general wearing armor and swords came over, and behind him was an elite army of more than a thousand people.

Seeing this, Liu Ye shouted happily: "People handsome, it's Wen Xiang who is here!"

Just when Gao Chong was in a state of lack of reinforcements, a thousand elite soldiers from Xu Sheng's army brought by Peng Ze Xingye finally arrived in time. At the same time, after receiving the news that the front army was blocked, Sun Ce also led the army to the foot of Baiya Mountain.

A strong dialogue that may have decided to belong to Jiangdong in the future officially began. This was the first head-on confrontation between Gao Chong and Sun Ce after Shenting Ridge. The status of both sides had undergone some subtle changes. Sun Ce had occupied the three counties of Jiangdong at this time, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers and millions of people. All the Jiangdong patriots were like each other. Gao Chong was no longer the small pawn on Shenting Ridge, but truly became a prince who occupied Yuzhang, Luling and Jingnan.

On Baiya Mountain, Gao Chong's army, who received reinforcements, quickly consolidated the broken position. More than 30 people from Lei Xu's remnants who had been defending all night, retreated from the battlefield. He was replaced by Xu Sheng, who was also brave and good at fighting.

And his opponent is Han Dang, the general of Sun Ce's army.

"Press over—." Looking at the enemy soldiers who were getting closer, Xu Sheng felt full of confidence.

The soldiers who were so tired all stood up and shouted at the enemy. The soldiers of Han Dang's army thought that the enemy was vulnerable after a night of hard fighting, but they expected that they would be counterattacked. Without any mental preparation, after a round of fighting, Han Dang's army was forced to retreat after abandoning more than a hundred corpses.

After this contact, Zhou Yu and Han Dangzhi had arrived, and if they attacked rashly, they would only waste their troops. So they stopped at the foot of the mountain and waited for Sun Ce's arrival, and the battle situation was in a deadlock.

For Gao Chong, Xu Sheng’s thousand reinforcements were already the last bit of power that could be mobilized. At present, defending Baiya Mountain would be a victory. The longer the time would be, the more beneficial it would be to the side.

On January 5, Sun Ce led his army to the bottom of Baiya Mountain and ordered the soldiers to fight against the enemy's rebuke formation at the foot of the mountain.

Gao Chong then left Xu Sheng to guard the pass, and ordered three hundred people to kill him in front of the two armies.

The two armies were facing each other, and Sun Ce flew out of the formation, and immediately had a sword-browed eyebrows, a thin waist, a wide waist, a strong voice, and a powerful sword. He held an ancient ingot knife in his hand. He was majestic and exuded a murderous aura that destroyed everything, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

It was Sun Ce.

Sun Ce immediately asked loudly, "Where is the defeated general of Shenting?"

Gao Chong was not showing weakness. He rode the flames and stepped out, captured the horse and pointed at Sun Ce, shouting, "Can Sun Bofu recognize my Gao Chong?" After that, the two of them rode their horses and laughed at the same time. They were stunned when they saw the generals on both sides of the match.

Sun Ce laughed and said in a deep voice: "Our army is trapped and suffocated, why don't you surrender early?"

Gao Chong shouted: "Four days, Sun Fu's army was destroyed in the Yangtze River. Now, the general can't even capture this Baiya Mountain. Where can we start with the soldiers being trapped in Songzi?"

Sun Ce said angrily: "My army in Jiangdong is more than tens of thousands. If you rush your troops westward with all your might, you can block it with just one force. If you hit the stone with an egg, what's the benefit of struggling like this?"

Gao Chong laughed and said, "A man who is a little ignorant also knows the place where benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and courage are. How can he be willing to be a man of his knees?"

At this moment, a general rushed out of Sun Ce's formation and shouted: "Don't be arrogant, wait for Chen Zilie to come and capture you!"

Gao Chong looked at him and saw that he was Chen Wu.

Chen Wu slapped his horse and pushed his sword, and suddenly came to him. He saw Gao Chong's appearance early in the morning, and was resentful that Gao Chong escaped from his hands on Shenting Ridge that day. Unexpectedly, Gao Chong would have such a climate in just over a year.

"What's the courage of an ordinary man?" Before Chen Wu arrived, Gao Chong took off his horse and walked back with a faint look.

Chen Wu was furious and urged his horse to chase him quickly. Xu Sheng had already seen it clearly at the pass. After Gao Chong passed, he shot Chen Wusheng back with a rain of arrows.

Afterwards, Sun's army attacked the enemy several times, but Gao Chong just couldn't stand it. Chen Wu and Han Dang asked for orders to lead the army to attack the mountain again, but were all killed by Xu Sheng.

Two days later, more than 20,000 people stuck in Songzi City all crossed the Yangtze River safely. Gan Ning, who was victorious in Xiaogu Mountain, also led his troops to reinforce. After experiencing the most difficult period, Gao Chong finally stabilized the defeat and saved the enclave of Songzi in Jiangbei.
