Danyang County, the original county.
Gu County was a county close to Yuqian County. A group of defeated soldiers had fled for a day before they arrived.
" Who is it?!"
The guard on the watchtower shot an arrow down to stop everyone.
As there were not many people on the other side, they did not sound the alarm immediately.
"Don't attack, we're on the same side! We are Yu Qian's guards."
The leader of the defeated army shouted.
The sentry immediately reported the situation, and the general of the county quickly rushed over.
"What happened? The enemy counterattacked? How many enemies are there?"
The general hurriedly asked.
"It was Sun Ce who personally led the troops, three thousand men, towards Wuhu.”
Many of Yuan Shu's subordinates had seen Sun Ce before, so they recognized him.
"Not good! This is for His Highness!"
The general immediately understood Sun Ce's intention. He wanted to kill Yuan Yao with a single strike. After capturing Yuan Yao alive, no matter how many people there were, they could only be cautious.
"Men, immediately send the news…Haiya, forget it, gather all the troops!"
The general suddenly remembered that Wuhu did not have many soldiers. Even if the news arrived, it would not be there. With Sun Ce's bravery, no one in Wuhu could stop the enemy's attack.
Therefore, the general decided to abandon the city and go to Yuan Yao's aid. Although abandoning the city was a great crime, as long as Yuan Yao was saved, not only would it not be a mistake, but it would also be a meritorious deed!

Yuzhang County, Pengze.
Cai Mao, Huang Zu, and the vice commander all had a distressed expression.
"I've been roaming the south for so many years, but I've never been so cowardly! Even Sun Jian back then wasn't this troublesome!”
Ancestor Huang cursed.
"Could this Zhou Yu be a water rat spirit?!”
Cai Mao also cursed.
The three of them had been fine in Pengze City. The battle plan had already been formulated. They would continue to send more troops from Jingzhou and slowly grind down Yuzhang Prefecture.
However, when Sun Ce's 20,000 navy arrived, their nightmare began.
Zhou Yu immediately gathered his troops and led the twenty-five thousand navy under him. They flew into the air and stopped in the water near Pengze, surrounding the three of them.
25,000 surrounded 50,000, and the three of them were unable to fight back at all. What was worse was that Cai Mao had already sent news of reinforcements to Jingzhou.
Now, it was the navy's version of attacking reinforcements. Once Jing Zhou sent reinforcements, they would definitely be taken down by Zhou Yu.
They couldn't beat him, and they couldn't run either. The three of them were at their wits 'end.
"We can only wait. Anyway, Poyang Lake is full of fish, shrimp, and crabs. We won't starve to death.”
Cai Mao said with a bitter smile. This was the only good news. They didn't need to worry about rations.

Wuhu.
Yuan Yaozhen was in the main hall of the county government, preparing to play with Lu Lingqi again. The story that the commander-in-chief and the halberd bearer had to tell.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, scaring Lu Lingqi into jumping out of Yuan Yao's arms.
Yuan Yao couldn't help but look outside with a dark expression, only to see a messenger walking in quickly.
"Report!"
"Your Highness, there are a large number of enemy troops outside the city, less than two miles away from the county.”
"Where did the enemy come from? Large amount? How much is a large amount?"
Yuan Yao asked calmly.
"I don't know either, but there are about three thousand of them. There aren't many guards in the city, so it's better for Your Highness to avoid them for the time being.”
"What are you panicking for? Aren't there three thousand guards in the city? My safety is in your hands.”
Yuan Yao had no intention of escaping. There were not many enemies, so why should he be afraid before fighting?
"Call Yuan San over."
Yuan Yao raised his chin slightly and ordered. The Yaksha Army had been training nonstop, so they wanted to test their power today.
"Here."
The messenger retreated, and soon Yuan San arrived.
"Your Highness."
"Mm, take your men and go guard the county government. In a while, the enemy will enter the city.”
All the guards of Wuhu City had received the news and immediately began to prepare for the battle. Their crown prince was in the city. If anything went wrong, they would all be buried with him.
"We've finally arrived at Wuhu. It seems that the other party already knows about our arrival.”
Sun Ce said as he looked at Wuhu County.
"So what? The other side only had a few thousand soldiers, and the quality of the soldiers was very ordinary. Without the strength of the city wall, they could take it down in one battle!”
Taishi Ci didn't take the Wuhu garrison seriously at all. He had already taken down a county, so he had a good understanding of the enemy's level. He wasn't speaking arrogantly.
"Of course. When we capture Yuan Shu's only son, won't he be at our mercy? Not only would he be able to take back Pill Yang, he might even be able to take back Lujiang County.”
Sun Ce was determined to get Wuhu, or Yuan Yao.
"Haha, according to what you said, this Yuan Yao is still our lucky star?”
"Hahaha! Of course it was the lucky star! Attack the city!"
Sun Ce didn't waste any more time and ordered his 3,000 soldiers to attack the city.
When they attacked Yuqian County, there were not many casualties. Less than a hundred people died, and the rest were only lightly injured.
Sun Ce and Taishi Ci took the lead and quickly broke through the city gates of Wuhu and entered the city.
Although the defenders had done their best to defend, the huge difference in strength could not be ignored.
But this time, the Wuhu defenders did not flee. Instead, they continued to fight with Sun Ce's army. The two sides began to fight in the streets of Wuhu.
Yuan Yao, who was in the county government office, was soon discovered by the enemy. Countless enemy troops rushed over from all directions.
Yuan Yao had someone move the chair to the middle of the courtyard and sat on the fishing platform! Lu Lingqi, who was dressed in military attire, stood beside him. This time, she was really holding an iron halberd in her hand.
Nine hundred soldiers of Yaksha Battalion stood in front of the gate of the county government. They were fully armored and held crescent shovels in their hands. (Monk Sand's weapon was only the crescent.）
Sun Ce's army charged towards the county government, but the soldiers of Yaksha Camp were like a steel wall that was difficult to break through.
Sun Ce's attacks were ignored by the heavy armor, and his arrows were useless.
For a moment, Sun Ce's army was unable to move forward. They were all blocked outside the door, and countless corpses were piled up in front of the door.
The soldiers of Yaksha Camp usually formed groups of two and used joint attacks, or one of them attacked and the other defended.
The crescent shovel was specially aimed at the enemy's limbs or neck. If it was serious, the enemy would die, and if it was light, the enemy would be crippled.
"What the hell is this?"
This was the first time Taishi Ci had seen such a thing, so he couldn't help but ask Sun Ce.
"I don't know! It's also my first time seeing it. I've never seen it before when I was with Yuan Shu.”
Sun Ce suddenly had a bad premonition. He might not be able to return with anything today.
He shook his head vigorously and threw this thought to the back of his mind. He focused on the battle in front of him and thought about how to break Yuan Yao's formation.
"Get our warhorses here and let them ram into the enemy!”
Since he couldn't break through the enemy's formation, he would use his horse!
"You're crazy! We only have a few hundred warhorses, these are all treasures! It's gone if it dies!"
Taishi Ci hurriedly tried to persuade him. It could be seen how precious warhorses were in the south.
"It's fine. As long as we can capture Yuan Yao, Yuan Shu will get us as many warhorses as we want.”
Sun Ce said in a deep voice. Taishi Ci did not try to persuade him anymore.
