Lu Li shook his head and said, "Since they have joined Ghost Valley, let's proceed step by step."
After all, the two of them were still too young, and he understood the principle that an orange grown in the south is an orange.
"Let's leave it at that for now. Things have just stabilized in Bingzhou. Once Zhao Yun wakes up, tell him not to go back to Jingzhou, but to come to Bingzhou to find me," Lu Li instructed.
"Yes!" Tong Yuan respectfully accepted the order.
Meanwhile, Sun Ce led three thousand iron cavalry in a surprise attack on Nanyang. They swept through the city with unstoppable momentum and reached Nanyang in just ten days, with Chengdu less than ten miles away.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Sun Ce frowned. Although Nanyang Commandery was weak in troops and food, it still had 100,000 elite troops stationed there. But Nanyang looked disorganized and like a rabble.
Sun Ce pondered for a moment, but soon his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered, "Retreat! The enemy has laid an ambush!"
"boom--!"
However, just as Sun Ce's shout rang out, a loud bang came from the side.
Immediately afterwards, a rain of arrows poured down like locusts, and countless crossbows shot towards him.
"ah!"
Screams immediately echoed all around, and countless soldiers fell to the ground.
Sun Ce dared not linger and led his three thousand cavalry in a desperate escape.
But just as he was about to rush out of the Nanyang city gate, he found that he was already surrounded by Yuan Shu's heavy army.
Sun Ce was filled with resentment. That scoundrel Yuan Shu had actually set a trap for him.
"My lord, this humble general requests permission to lead the army in a breakout," Cheng Pu said in a deep voice, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
At this moment, Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu's top strategist, stood on the city wall and laughed loudly: "Sun Ce! Why don't you surrender?"
"Hmph, don't be so arrogant, watch me kill you!" Cheng Pu roared, raising his sword and charging towards the city gate.
"Heh, you don't know what's good for you! Take him down!" Yan Xiang sneered.
Then, all of Yuan Shu's generals rushed out and attacked Cheng Pu.
The battlefield descended into chaos in an instant, with blood staining the entire ground.
Sun Ce also took the lead, wielding his Overlord Spear, and pierced the throat of one of Yuan Shu's generals, pinning the officer to the ground.
"Yuan Shu! You sent so much trash out to die!!" Sun Ce cursed.
Dozens of guards had also gathered around him.
As Sun Jian's son, he inherited his father's bravery and fierceness, wielding the Overlord Spear and fighting with boiling blood.
However, Yuan Shu's army was simply too large. Sun Ce and Cheng Pu fought fiercely, but they still failed to break through and instead lost many soldiers.
"Sun Ce, give up resisting, you can't escape!" Yan Xiang said coldly from the city wall.
"Haha, you think you can catch me? Dream on! Your grandpa's not afraid of death! Come on!"
Sun Ce laughed loudly, his body covered in blood, and charged toward the city gate with his Overlord Spear in hand, looking as if he were ready to die.
Upon seeing this, Yan Xiang frowned slightly.
Sun Ce truly lived up to his reputation. Even knowing he was doomed to defeat, he did not back down. He truly deserves the title of Little Conqueror Sun Ce.
"Kill!" Sun Ce gripped his Overlord Spear and charged forward relentlessly!
His personal guards, equally fearless, charged madly toward the city gate!
The two sides clashed fiercely, fighting and screaming in agony.
Sun Ce and his personal guards fought bravely and finally broke through the encirclement after suffering heavy casualties!
However, by this time, Sun Ce's personal guards had all died, and he was covered in wounds, even nearly falling off his horse.
Yan Xiang looked at Sun Ce in disbelief. He had actually broken through the encirclement. If this boy were let go, he would surely become a great threat in the future!
"Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Han Xian, Lei Bo!"
"You must kill Sun Ce! We absolutely cannot let him escape back to Jiangdong!" Yan Xiang gave the order to the four generals.
The four agreed and went to pursue Sun Ce.
"Haha, well done!" Sun Ce laughed arrogantly, showing no fear whatsoever!
Although he was covered in wounds, he showed no fear in the face of these four generals.
"Kill them!"
The four generals, each with their personal guards, charged forward, and Sun Ce brandished his Overlord Spear to meet them!
"clang--!"
The Overlord Spear clashed with the four other weapons, producing a crisp sound, and a sharp gust of wind swept out.
Sun Ce's tiger's mouth split open, and bright red blood flowed from the wound, dripping onto the ground.
Although he was injured, he was not afraid, and his eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty light.
"Don't harm my lord!" At this moment, Cheng Pu stepped forward and stood with Zhang Xun.
Sun Ce, on the other hand, fought against three opponents: Lei Bo, Qiao Rui, and Han Xian.
"Bang bang bang!"
The four fought fiercely, with Sun Ce holding his own against three of them and even gaining a slight advantage, which further fueled his ferocity.
His Overlord Spear swept across all directions with ruthless and vicious moves, as if he didn't care about his life. Every time he struck, it carried terrifying destructive power.
"hiss……!"
Upon seeing this, the three generals gasped in astonishment, utterly shocked.
The guy in front of them was like a wild beast, attacking recklessly without any defensive stance, clearly intending to drag the three of them down with him.
The three exchanged glances, and each saw a solemn expression in the other's eyes.
Another loud explosion rang out, and Sun Ce sent the two flying again. Then, he thrust his spear at Qiao Rui once more.
Qiao Rui was terrified at the sight and hurriedly drew his sword to block in front of him, but with a 'crack', the long sword shattered, and Qiao Rui was pierced through the chest by Sun Ce's spear.
