Chapter 472 Zhang 8
"However, Sun Quan dared not move until he saw that Zhang Liao's squad numbered only eight hundred men."
"Who does he think he is! Sun Quan of Jiangdong, leading an army of 100,000! He could crush them all, let alone these mere 800 men! His courage surged, and he prepared to launch a counterattack!!!"
"Therefore, Sun Quan ordered his troops to quickly surround Zhang Liao's squad. He never expected that Sun Shiwan would become famous in this battle, and that during festivals, people would give him maps of Hefei as gifts!"
Sun Quan: Damn it! Those are words that pierce the heart!
"Upon seeing this, Zhang Liao immediately broke through the encirclement without any difficulty, leaving only a few hundred men trapped inside."
"When they saw Zhang Liao and his dozens of men break through the encirclement, they were stunned and hurriedly shouted:"
"Has the general forgotten that we were drinking and eating meat yesterday, discussing the philosophy of life? How come today the general has abandoned me alone?!"
Zhang Babai: We will absolutely not abandon a single brother!!!
"So Zhang Liao and the others turned back and rescued those people."
"Zhang Liao only fought Sun Quan's army for a morning, but he almost wiped out Sun Quan and even rescued his teammates. Considering how many people Sun Quan's army had, his limitations were quite significant!"
"Moreover, Sun Quan's army only felt relieved after returning to their camp. They really didn't expect Zhang Liao and his men to be so fierce!"
"Sun Quan's 100,000 troops were demoralized and retreated in fear, which took about ten days. They couldn't win the battle, and they still had so many mouths to feed, so they prepared to withdraw and return to their hometown."
However, Sun Quan did not expect that what happened next would further enhance Zhang Liao's reputation!
Wanyan Jiu Mei (corrected version): If you ask me, go home early. If you can't win, run away!
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: Get lost! Giving out such nonsense! You're making a fool of yourself!
Sun Quan: ………
Sun Ce, the Little Conqueror of Jiangdong: ...Eight hundred against one hundred thousand... What the hell is eight hundred?!
Zhang Fei: Judging from this description, it seems like Sun Ce's brother isn't all that smart!
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: Hahaha, so that's how Sun Shiwan came about, with eight hundred men charging into the enemy lines!
Zhu Bajie of the Ming Dynasty: He became famous in one battle! One Sun Shiwan, one Zhang Babai! No wonder he was given Zhang Liao!
……
Upon seeing these comments, Sun Quan was furious! He thought the later generations' descriptions were inaccurate!
Sun Quan! Sun Zhongmou! The younger brother of the Little Conqueror of Jiangdong, he couldn't even defeat 800 men on the other side, so what!?
Cao Cao, didn't he still lose the Battle of Red Cliffs to them?
These people of later generations are so immoral, they just seize on him to make fun of him! If his brother were still alive, if Gongjin were still alive!
……
Meanwhile, Lin Ke continued, "Sun Quan isn't here to seize Hefei this time; he's here to make Zhang Liao famous!"
"At Xiaoyao Ford, he left behind more than a thousand of his most elite troops, as well as the private armies of the four tiger generals, including Lü Meng, Gan Ning, and Ling Tong. These people probably made up about five small squads."
"These five squads, including Sun Quan, are all top-tier soldiers from Jiangdong. Are they there to cover the rear at Xiaoyao Ford, or are they trying to hold out for another round?"
Sun Quan: That year, I stood with my hands on my hips, not knowing who my opponent was!
"Well, judging from the results, if military generals want to be enshrined in the Temple of Martial Arts, then they really are only missing one Sun Quan!"
“However, Zhang Liao, standing atop the city wall, could see all of Sun Quan’s men clearly. He thought to himself, ‘Those people from Jiangdong want to run away? He won’t allow it! How can you come and go as you please?!’”
"Therefore, Zhang Liao prepared to lead another attack! They surrounded Sun Quan and his entourage, and the two sides clashed. It was only with great difficulty that Sun Quan was able to escape the encirclement by his subordinates from Jiangdong!"
"However, unexpectedly, Zhang Liao cut down the Xiaoyaojin Ferry Bridge. So Sun Quan suggested that he ride backward on horseback and then use the momentum to accelerate. It was an extraordinary riding experience, and he said that's how fast it was!"
Sun Quan: Luckily, I managed to kill one of the horses!
"Therefore, after this battle, Zhang Liao was essentially established as the foremost of the Five Elite Generals, while Sun Quan and Zhang Fei each rose to fame in a single battle!!!"
