The martial arts of the world are only fast and cannot be broken.

The same is true for using troops. It is as fast as the wind, invading like fire; it is as quiet as a virgin, and moving as a rabbit, and it is said the same truth.

Sun Ce waited overnight, patiently entangled with Jiang Qi, using small tactics to break into pieces, accumulated a small amount, and killed more than 2,000 people one after another. The results were indeed brilliant, but these could not determine the outcome, and it was not his last goal. All means were to pave the way for the last blow and create opportunities.

Now, the opportunity has come.

After fighting hard in the middle of the night, the casualties were heavy. The morale of Jiang Qi's soldiers was low. In order to boost morale, he had to leave the central army and come to the front of the formation to patrol the position, less than 200 steps away from him. This was still outside the range of the Six-Stone Crossbow, and Jiang Qi's protection was very well-intentioned, but it was still a rare opportunity.

A general is the courage of a military army and a well-deserved center of gravity. When a general leaves the central army, the center of gravity of the entire formation will move, and the changes that occur in the intervening will unknowingly affect the entire battlefield. Once the two armies are in a battle, they will not change easily once the central army is established. Even if they have gained an advantage and launched a face-to-face attack, the main general will rarely go into battle in person. Once the central army's battle flag is abnormal, the morale of the entire army will be frustrated and may even collapse.

When Jiang Qi came to the formation, he was like a warrior fighting against human life suddenly stretched his head to the other side. Jiang Qi knew the pros and cons, so he took enough protection and brought all the elite thousand personal guards and infantry cavalry by his side and protected them closely. It was not said that he was careless. However, the large number of people would inevitably bring another disadvantage: slow movement and long reaction time.

Sun Ce was waiting for this opportunity. With a command, the three closest guards launched a charge at the same time, and the powerful crossbowmen who had been hiding in the formation launched the attack first. Hundreds of arrows left the string and headed straight for the Yuan army soldiers nearest to the mountain, focusing a little. Although the Yuan army soldiers were always vigilant and did not even look away from the hillside, the sudden attack still caused them to feel inevitable panic. Just as dozens of soldiers with their edges were shot down by the dense rain of arrows, they couldn't even scream, and fell to the ground and died. The others were shot so hard that they could not raise their heads. The sword and shield man subconsciously hid behind the shield. The spearman instinctively squatted down. Although the crossbowman fought back in the rain of arrows, he was a little busy.

In a moment, a flaw appeared in the defensive formation. Although there was no tangible gap, it was no longer solid.

Yiqu’s personal guards rushed along the hillside and completed the formation transformation while running. With several of the most brave warriors as the front, they rushed to the front of the formation, blocked their shields in front of them, and hit violently.

"Bang!" The shield collided with the shield, and Yuan army soldiers fell to the ground, and a large shield, a man tall, was knocked down, revealing a gap.

"Swish!" The long sword waving, blood splattering everywhere.

"Dangdang!" The sword and spear roared, and the long sword swung open the spear, cut off the fingers, arms, and cut off the throat. The spear pierced the shield and the body, but could not stop the warrior's attack. The infantry, who led the man and the spear, was knocked to the ground and killed again.

Almost in an instant, the first line of defense of Yuan's army was broken, and two hundred people rushed in like a flood, rapidly expanding the gap, and spreading it to the wings, killing the spearmen who had no time to turn around and the crossbowman with weak melee ability, and killing them to the fullest.

On the hillside, the crossbowmen grabbed the hillside and rushed to the front of the formation, and started the second round of shooting. The arrow feathers crossed the heads of the charging infantry and pointed directly to the second line of defense. As soon as their arrows shot into the crowd, the soldiers who were caught in the arrow had not even fallen to the ground, the infantrymen who were left and right rushed in from the gap opened by the first song, headed straight to the second line of defense, and slashed and killed.

Zhang Kai, who was introducing the situation next to Jiang Qi, watched helplessly as the two lines of defense were broken, and opened his mouth wide and could not close for a long time.

In the middle of the night when he fought with Sun Ce, he thought he had already understood Sun Ce's strength and was well prepared. When he saw this scene, he realized that Sun Ce had not done his best. At least before that, he did not send Sanqu infantry to attack at the same time. Every time, there was only one person in one blow. This time, the three songs were released at the same time, and the lethality increased exponentially. With the exquisite cooperation of the powerful crossbowmen, he broke through his two lines of defense with lightning speed. The soldiers on the third line of defense were resting and had no time to react. It was almost a foregone conclusion that they were defeated.

But the more deadly thing was not the infantrymen who were like wolves and tigers, but the knights who began to accelerate along the hillside and rushed down. The target of these knights was not someone else, but Jiang Qi. The mission of the infantrymen who were the only ones who broke the defense. These knights were the real killer moves and Sun Ce’s fatal blow.

Zhang Kai was shrouded in fear and screamed instinctively. "General, dangerous!" He turned his horse's head and rushed towards the formation. He drew out his long sword and raised it high. "Caremonious guards, come with me and protect the general!"

Seeing this, the knights of the guards who were stopping by the side turned their horses and followed Zhang Kai to kill Bai Lishi who was rushing down the hillside.

Jiang Qi issued a battle order, but it was all out of instinct. When he saw the Sanqu infantry unstoppable tearing open Zhang Kai's defense line, more than a hundred knights rushed down the hillside and quickly approached him, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Movement and stillness change like flowing clouds and water, and each unit cooperates to the peak. This is the real elite, and this is the attack that moves like thunder.

Zhang Kai could not stop them, and his courage could only win him a short breathing time. While Jiang Qi felt sorry for Zhang Kai, he ordered the guard camp to prepare for the battle. Although he did not expect Sun Ce's attack to be so rapid, he made sufficient preparations. A thousand guards were around him. These people had not participated in the battle. They had sufficient physical strength, complete structure, and their combat effectiveness was the best in the entire army. They could completely block the assault of these hundreds of guards.

As long as Sun Ce's assault is blocked, he can dispatch a large army to trap these people, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop, increasing the morale of the sluggishness.

This was originally in his plan. Going to patrol the camp in front of the formation was both a risk and an opportunity, it depends on whether you are prepared and whether you can seize this opportunity. Jiang Qi was very prepared and he also believed that he would definitely seize this opportunity.

It has never been an easy task to kill the general's head among all the troops.

Sun Ce saw Jiang Qi's response on the hillside. Looking at the infantry coming from both wings and quickly arrayed in front of Jiang Qi, he nodded with a little praise. "Yuan Shao ordered this man to be a general and guard Li Yang, but he still had some vision. He was calm in the face of danger and was well-organized, and he deserved to be a good general."

Liu Bei also saw it very clearly, but the focus of his attention was on Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei charged with Chen Dao, and was rushing in front of the knight at this moment. If there was a slight mistake, he would die in the formation.
