Chapter 108 Game between the two armies
In order to convince the opponent, Sun Ce put Zhou Xin back into the military formation. However, in the blink of an eye, the army began to make movement, moving back and forth for a while before finally stopping.
"I'm ready. If you want to attack and kill me, I will accompany you to the end!"
Zhou Xin hid in the army and shouted to Sun Ce, indicating that he could attack. Sun Ce would never refuse to accept a fight that came to him.
"General Huang, please plunder the formation for me."
“Don’t worry, just leave it to me.”
After a few brief exchanges with Huang Zhong, Sun Ce raised his Overlord Spear high and shouted to the people behind him
"All cavalry, obey orders!"
"exist!!!"
"Brothers, do you dare to rush in with me and let them see that we are not easy to mess with!"
"We will follow in the general's footsteps and go through fire and water without hesitation!!!"
"Okay, follow me and rush!"
"kill!!!"
Under Sun Ce's encouragement, the emotions of everyone present became high, and the roar was as loud as thunder. More than ten thousand cavalry followed Sun Ce's pace and rushed towards the Danyang soldiers.
"The archers hold the line!"
Huang Zhong gave the order, and the remaining infantry moved forward a few steps, then dispersed, took out the bows and arrows they carried with them, and aimed at the hillside where the opponent's archers stood.
"Raise your shield to defend!"
After seeing the movement of the soldiers in the direction of Huang Zhong, Zhou Xin responded and ordered all the shield soldiers to rush to the hillside and use their shields to protect the archers.
"Fire the arrow!"
Huang Zhong gave an order, and all the archers shot together. Nearly ten thousand arrows flying in the sky shot out a beautiful scenery from the sky, and then fell down, and the sound of "ding, ding, ding" continued to be heard.
, arrows began to bombard the shields indiscriminately. It was a pity that although his own offensive was very fierce, in order to preserve his own strength, Huang Zhong chose to place his army farther away, and because Zhou Xin
He commanded his soldiers to retreat a certain distance. As a result, more than half of the bows and arrows were only shot on the ground, and the furthest ones were only shot on the shields. Basically, few people were hit. The ineffectiveness of the offensive was a bit high.
However, Huang Zhong's original intention was to use this method to create a relatively safe charging space for the cavalry. However, it was precisely because he commanded his men that Zhou Xin's archer troops did not seize the opportunity and wasted it.
It was a good time to attack, so the cavalry and Sun Ce were able to safely pass through the perfect shooting range and were almost in front of the spear soldiers. More importantly, the shield soldiers were transferred away, and there were no more soldiers to follow.
With the shield combined with Ge, this is an excellent charging environment for Sun Cejun...
It should have been like this, but when the cavalry was almost in contact with them, the crowd on the opposite side suddenly started to move, and then they saw a group of soldiers standing at the front of the team holding horse-cutting swords. They actually chose to fight with their bodies.
Fight with the cavalry!
"not good!"
Sun Ce, who was charging with the cavalry, saw the weapon in the opponent's hand and immediately recognized it as a horse-killing sword, but now they had no chance of stopping. Just when Sun Ce was panicking, the cavalry at the front had already made contact with the opponent.
Suddenly, a neighing sound was heard. Immediately, dozens of horses in the front row had their hooves cut off and fell down. They could no longer stand up. The fallen knights had no chance to get up and were killed.
He was stabbed to death by a sword or a spear. But this was not the worst situation. After the horse in front fell, it turned into a stumbling block. In order not to be tripped, the cavalry behind had to adjust their positions left and right to get around.
But this time, the original formation became a little loose, and the speed of the charge was also greatly affected, so that after attacking the crowd, the damage caused to the infantry was reduced a lot, which was quite anticlimactic.
"Kill!"
The effect of the charge was unsatisfactory, but now there is no chance to do it again. I saw Sun Ce waving the Overlord Spear among the crowd, slashing left and right while moving. Even an elite man, in front of a fierce general like Sun Ce,
After all, he was still at a disadvantage.
However, no matter how fierce Sun Ce is, it is only his responsibility. The others rushing after him can't reach his height. Although he has one more horse than the opponent's infantry, after all, he still has the special ability of the horse-cutting sword.
The existence of cavalry, as time goes by, I see that the lives of those knights' mounts are constantly being taken away. When there were war horses, they were somewhat defeated by the Danyang soldiers. Now that they have lost their mounts, the only advantage has disappeared, and it has become a battle with the opponent.
With the same infantry, how could they still have the capital to fight against the opponent? The situation instantly changed from fighting each other to the current unilateral crushing.
"Everyone, rush with me!"
Seeing that his side was at a disadvantage, Huang Zhong, who had been raiding the rear, did not dare to neglect. He immediately rushed forward with the remaining 10,000 infantry, wanting to help, but before they could reach the place, killing sounds rang out from both sides.
Just like when they attacked Wu Jing, Zhou Xin's cavalry rushed out from both sides again. They were so fast that they rushed into the infantry formation in the blink of an eye and began to kill them.
.
"Steady! Steady!"
Huang Zhong shouted loudly to the people around him, trying to calm them down, but they did not have a horse-cutting sword, so how could they fight against the cavalry? Therefore, Huang Zhong's shouting had no effect.
"Yes, just fight like this, slowly."
Seeing that the situation in front of him was looking great, Zhou Xin's face was filled with joy, and even the look he looked at Sun Ce had a hint of amusement.
However, the goddess of luck has always been moody. She was visiting you just a moment ago, and the next second she will be gone with the wind and run to the top of other people's heads. For example, right now, suddenly another cavalry team appears on the horizon.
Waves came to Huang Zhong's side and fought with the opponent's cavalry. Zhou Yu, who had not shown up before, finally appeared in everyone's sight along with the infantry.
"General Huang, please take the infantry to support Bo Fu. Remember, the one holding the horse-killing sword is the primary enemy."
"Okay, let's go now!"
After receiving the instruction, Huang Zhong immediately took over the infantry and headed towards Sun Ce. On the way, he had already picked up the Wanshi Bow in his hand, even though he was on horseback; even though his hands had loosened the reins;
Although there were no stirrups to support him, Huang Zhong's waist was still straight and his bow-drawing movements with both hands were still steady. He shot a very graceful arrow and hit the neck of a foot soldier with a horse-killing sword with great accuracy.
Killed on the spot!
"Why are there reinforcements? Didn't you say you've already investigated them?"
Zhou Xin, who saw Zhou Yu coming, turned to look at the deputy general Delong beside him and questioned him. The other party explained in a slightly panic:
"My subordinates have indeed sent people to explore the surroundings, and no one else was found at that time..."
"Where are the people you sent?"
"Hold on, General, Scout! Scout!"
He shouted twice to his side, but no one came over. Faced with this situation, the deputy general became a little panicked.
"General this...I...this..."
He hesitated for a long time but couldn't come up with a complete sentence, but it was his fault that he was stupid. Zhou Xin's brain was still better than his. After thinking about it for a while, he came up with a guess.
"I'm afraid the scout we sent out is dead, and the ones who came back are the other party's people, so we deceived you."
The fact was just as Zhou Xin had guessed. The first time Zhou Yu came to Danyang, he sent out several scouts to investigate the surrounding area. However, by coincidence, two of the other scouts were killed by one of the scouts.
After that, Zhou Yu "borrowed" their clothes and cheated Zhou Xin, thus deceiving him.
"My subordinate deserves to die. He was deceived by his opponent and didn't know it. He is really stupid. I ask the general to punish him!"
Derong knelt down on one knee and asked Zhou Xin to be punished, but Zhou Xin just pulled him up.
"Forget it, what happened has already happened, what's the point of blaming you anymore? You have to be more careful when sending out scouts in the future. If it happens a second time, I won't let you off lightly. Do you understand?"
"I understand that this will never happen again!"
Zhou Xin's attention returned to the battlefield, and he saw Huang Zhong, who had just joined the battle. His fighting power was even more terrifying than that of Sun Ce next to him. After the intervention of him and the infantry, Sun Ce, who was at a disadvantage just now, finally returned.
At the point where the army is in balance with Danyang.
"General, do you want to bring over the remaining three thousand people?"
Seeing the two sides fighting inextricably, with each other suffering casualties, Derong proposed to Zhou Xin to send more troops, but Zhou Xin directly rejected it.
"No, the remaining three thousand people are our last trump card. We can only use them at the most critical moment. If they are all used up at once, we will have no defense."
"But if this continues, the casualties of our soldiers will definitely increase a lot. How about we transfer the army here first, and then ask for help from the lord or the general's brother?"
The lieutenant general put forward his own suggestion, but Zhou Xin still refused.
"There are no reinforcements. Ang Di sent me a message a few days ago, saying that reinforcements have arrived in Lujiang. Now the number of his troops is at a disadvantage. He can only compete with the opponent with the help of Hefei City. But if he wants to mobilize the army, the number will be small.
It's useless. If there are more people, the Lujiang side will definitely choose to attack by force. This is an act of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Don't do it. I guess the situation is the same on the lord's side. You can't do it without permission. Besides, you see, all the time
The one who stays behind”
Zhou Xin pointed at Zhou Yu who was riding a horse at the rear of the battlefield, and then spoke
"That guy should be the commander of this army. His expression is calm, without any panic, and he has to observe his surroundings from time to time to see if there is a second wave of reinforcements on our side. Based on this estimate, he is just like us, with a high probability
There is also a hidden army.”
"But even if our army has stronger combat capabilities, it is still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. If the other side mobilizes more troops, wouldn't we lose?"
"If he still has an army, then we will bring the last three thousand people over and fight with them. But now it depends on which side can be more ruthless and make the soldiers pay their lives..."
Zhou Xin made his own judgment on the next situation, then raised his head and looked at the sky. As for what he was thinking, only he knew...
