Sun Ce carefully selected 1,500 people to be the troops for the sneak attack across the river. They were divided into three captains, each with 500 people.
Xiang Yu joined the army for the thought and politics, concurrently serving as a lieutenant, and followed Sun Ce to participate in the war.
Sun Ce took command of a lieutenant himself, and the rest of the troops were handed over to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was born into an aristocratic family. He was honest and elegant, skilled in archery and horse riding. He could even withstand more than ten rounds with Sun Ce.
After confirming the key personnel, Sun Ce asked,"
"Lin Yuan, who do you need to be the deputy general?”
"Youping, can Brother Bofu bear the pain and give up what you love?”Xiangyu requested.
"Hahaha! What's wrong with that?"
Sun Ce arranged for Zhou Tai to be Xiang Yu's deputy general, and Jiang Qin to be Zhou Yu's deputy general. He himself led Lu Fan and Sun He.
Before he had shown his abilities, only Lu Fan and Sun He had accompanied him.
Wu Jing, Sun Ben, and Sun Jian's old subordinates simply provided some protection, but they still focused on their own business.
There weren't many who truly followed Sun Ce.
When Sun Ce fought for Yuan Shu, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. After a few years, he was only twenty years old.
When Cheng Pu shouted " still wet behind the ears, how can you lead the army?", wasn't it also a slap to Sun Ce's face?
If he hadn't shown his abilities, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and the other old generals might not have submitted to him.
His father's reputation alone was not enough. He could only rely on his own strength.
Therefore, he did not bring Huang Gai and Cheng Pu with him. Instead, he promoted Xiangyu in the first battle.
Although the number of people in this battle was small, the luxurious lineup was shocking.
Several talents of River East had gathered!
Sun Ce and Xiang Yu boarded the ferry and prepared to cross the river in the misty night.
When the waves reached midstream, Sun Ce said generously,"
"Lin Yuan is on the left, sweeping through the River East.”
Xiang Yu struck the oar and swore,
"Xiang Yu can't sweep the River East and help Bo Fu establish his career.”
The river surged and never returned.
His words were heroic, and everyone sighed with emotion.
Zhou Yu's heart trembled. He praised,"The oars are struck, and the whips of the abyss are drawn." To cross the river and achieve the ambition of Bo Fu."
The mighty momentum surged.
Zhou Tai clenched his fists, his blood boiling.
"Tai too!"
When they reached the shore, the ships were fixed.
Xiangyu was the first to disembark. His footsteps were light, and his mind was still wandering.
When he stabilized his body, he immediately sent scouts to guard the surroundings, extending the cordon even further.
The army went ashore one after another without being discovered by Liu Yao's army. The rain was continuous, and they had been slacking off for days without setting up sentry posts.
"Before the patrolling night soldiers arrive, our army should quickly turn to battle.”Zhou Yu reminded.
1,500 people, each of them only carrying three days 'worth of rations.
Sun Ce raised his arm and waved, and the three armies moved.
Ta! Ta!
His steady footsteps swirled on the moist soil as he walked into the distance.
They hid in the darkness, making a detour to avoid Hengjiangjin and Danglikou, heading straight for Niuzhu.
Only then did Sun Ce realize the significance of Xiang Yu's daily training.
They were like a whirlwind, galloping across the plains.
The soldiers lacked meat and most of them had night blindness.
Under the cover of the fog, the rear army could not see the front army at all. Sun Ce firmly refused to light the torch and could only move forward in the darkness.
The rope that Xiang Yu had prepared in advance was effective, guiding the army forward.
What surprised Zhou Yu even more was that these soldiers walked in unison and did not push each other. They already had the embryonic form of elites.
Sun Ce's army had been marching in the cold spring rain for six hours, their bodies drenched.
The outline of Niuzhu Mountain was also reflected in his eyes.
There was a poem:
"The precipice faces the giant river, and the peaks face each other.”
"In the midst of the floating rocks, the echoes form waves.”
Sun Ce led the army to explore the camp and launched a surprise attack.
The defending troops of Niuzhu had never expected that the enemy would launch an invasion in such humid weather, losing three sentry posts.
By the time Sun Shao received the report, the beacon fire had already reached the camp.
He suddenly got up and organized the army to defend.
The alarm bells in the camp rang out, and the terrified voice resounded through the sky.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The defenders were in a mess, their faces pale in panic.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Sun Ce's ghostly attack broke through the village gate, sending wood shavings flying.
"Kill them!"
He pointed his spear forward, and the surging soldiers swept over.
Xiang Yu took the lead and stabbed an enemy soldier with his spear. Blood dripped down from the tip of the spear and gradually formed a stream.
A cold light bloomed.
He didn't continue fighting and headed straight for the pavilion.
This was where Liu Yao's army stored their provisions and weapons.
"Kill them!"
Zhou Taisheng's strength was fierce as he killed several people in a row and followed Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu scratched his tongue and asked,"
"Where is Di Ge?"
The soldiers trembled and begged for mercy.
Xiangyu stabbed a bloody hole in his body and asked another person,""Where is Di Ge?"
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
He trembled as he led the way.
With lightning speed, Xiang Yu took over the pavilion and controlled the resources.
After Sun Shao learned that the camp could not be defended, he brought a group of people over and tried to burn the supplies. However, he was captured by Xiang Yu in one go.
An hour later, the battle was over.
