He counted the more than 6,000 troops and horses he had, and then compared them with Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops.
After the battle with Cheng Pu, after the war and hasty retreat, the army of more than 10,000 people now has more than 6,000 people left. It is already good. Liu Bei still has tens of thousands of troops, and he only relies on these 6,000 people.
Can we win in the past?
If you can't win, you will definitely die on the battlefield and be buried with Yuan Shu. Is it worth it?
Seeing that Sun Jian was in trouble, Sun Jing stepped forward to persuade Sun Jian.
"Although Yuan Shu was kind to his brother, he also repaid him with a bloody battle. The situation is now a dead end. There is no way that my brother's more than 6,000 troops can win. Instead of dying in battle, it is better to preserve his useful life and return to Jiangdong. Xu
It’s a good idea to take action later.”
Sun Jian looked at Sun Jing and hesitated.
"Yuan Shu treats me well. If I leave him, how can I feel sorry? And even if I leave, where can I go? My hometown? Everyone in the world is Yuan Shu's enemy. If I return to Yangzhou at this time, I will die.
?"
Sun Jing was also very worried about the current embattled situation and didn't know where the future was. At the same time, he also hated Yuan Shu's fooling around, turning a good situation into an orphan situation.
Sun Jing racked her brains to think about where they should go to be reborn, but Liu Bei obviously did not intend to give him this opportunity.
When he learned that an army was heading to Pingyu County from the direction of Chen State, it was not his own army, but under the banner of the Sun family. Liu Bei frowned and guessed that there might be something wrong with Cheng Pu, so he sent people there
Asked, while mobilizing troops and generals, preparing to deal with Sun Jian himself.
He arranged for Zhang Fei to lead two battalions of the elite Tiger Cavalry and one battalion of infantry to attack. At the same time, he gave him the command of newcomers such as Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Gao Shun, and Shi Huan who were eager to make meritorious deeds, allowing them to use their abilities.
A skill that makes one's career successful.
When Zhang Fei learned that the annoying traitor Sun Jian was on the other side, he became furious and vowed to make Sun Jian pay for his original actions.
After learning that Zhang Fei had launched an attack, Sun Jian was too late to retreat, so he had no choice but to press forward.
However, when he saw that the army led by Zhang Fei had bright armor, a neat appearance, and the number of cavalry far exceeded his imagination, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
This army was actually all wearing armor, and there were a lot of cavalry. He looked around and found that even the hand-to-hand infantry were in a state of bright armor.
Is Liu Bei that wealthy?
To deal with him, it was such a powerful lineup with all armor?
Aren't they all elites?
Cheng Puna only had 3,000 men in armor, and Liu Bei had almost 10,000 men. How could he fight this battle?
At that moment, Sun Jian knew that no matter how much he hated Liu Bei, he could not win here. Defeat was inevitable, but it was just a matter of time. Under such circumstances, he absolutely could not bite the bullet and fight Liu Bei decisively.
You have to find a way to evacuate, you have to leave here, no matter where you go, you have to leave here.
In a flash of lightning, Sun Jian thought of a way.
He wanted to lead the Jiangdong and Huaisi disciples away from here, leaving the other miscellaneous troops to rear and die, and use their deaths to buy time for him to lead the elite to escape.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all. This tradition of not abandoning or giving up did not exist outside Liu Bei's headquarters.
However, Zhang Fei was deeply angry with Sun Jian and did not intend to give him the opportunity to retreat. Seeing the change of formation of Sun Jian's troops, Zhang Fei immediately made a decision.
He arranged for Zhao Yun and Zhang He to each lead a cavalry flanking attack to cut off Sun Jian's retreat. Then Gao Shun and Shi Huan led the infantry formation to attack Sun Jian's formation head-on. He himself led the Chinese army to prepare for the assault.
Once Sun Jian's front army formation is broken, it will be time for him to show his prowess.
Through observation, he obviously found that Sun Jian's army was smaller than his. This was a good opportunity, and Zhang Fei would not let it pass. With such a military achievement in front of him, it would be wonderful to win it.
Sun Jian was about to ask Sun Ce and Sun Jing to lead the Jiangdong Huaisi soldiers to move back first, and be prepared to run away at any time, while he himself stayed and led the front army to resist. If he did not stay, the soldiers of the front army would
We will definitely not fight to the death.
Then no one can run away.
He was accompanied by more than 200 bodyguard cavalry, and he felt that these 200 people would be enough to help him break out of the siege and escape victoriously.
The banner of the general of Liu Bei's army opposite has the word "Zhang" written on it. One of the famous generals in Liu Bei's army named Zhang, one of the most famous generals in Sun Jian's memory, is Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei had a majestic appearance, extraordinary strength, and was daring to fight and charge. In Sun Jian's memory, Zhang Fei was also a super strong man.
Moreover, when he retreated from Luoyang, Zhang Fei was the one who pursued him. He was injured and lost his loyal subordinate Zu Mao. Many soldiers were also overtaken and killed by Zhang Fei's troops.
Therefore, Sun Jian also hated and feared Zhang Fei.
However, he did not expect Zhang Fei to come up and start a battle with him. He was not sloppy at all. As the front army's formation strode forward, the cavalry on both wings quickly started to launch their formation, as if they were going to surround him on both sides.
This powerful attack made Sun Jian instantly nervous. He realized that Zhang Fei would not let him go easily. It would be impossible to escape unscathed this time. His luck would never be so good every time.
At this point, we can only bite the bullet and face it.
He ordered people to pass an order to Sun Ce and Sun Jing, asking them to lead Jiangdong and Huaisi soldiers to deal with Zhang Fei's cavalry carefully and not to be cut off. He led other miscellaneous soldiers to attack Gao Shun.
, the military formation led by Shi Huan.
After this contact, Sun Jian immediately felt a mountain of pressure.
The oncoming arrow rain first gave him a warning, and then the Liangzhou army formation came towards him. The sword and shield bearers were at the front, followed by the spearmen. The sharp spears shone with cold light as the army formation advanced.
.
Every time they took a step forward, the central Han army would shout in unison, and the sharp murderous aura coming towards their faces made the soldiers under Sun Jian's men tremble with fear.
It is not that Sun Jian had never encountered such a military formation before, but Cheng Pu had only 3,000 men under his command, so he could only take care of one battlefield, and Sun Jian had more troops than him, so the pressure at that time was not obvious.
However, this time, the pressure hit him like a flood that burst a dam. Even with his firm will to fight for so many years, he felt the pressure was overwhelming, let alone those miscellaneous soldiers?
The two sides were not opponents of the same order of magnitude at all. As soon as they met, Sun Jian was determined.
The spears of the central Han army thrust out, retracted, thrust out, and retracted. The movements were crisp and neat, without any sloppiness. They thrust and pushed forward at the same time. Sun Jian's soldiers could not hold it at all.
There were even melee swordsmen from the back row who got out from under the shields of the swordsmen and shieldmen in the front row, rolled in front of Sun Jian's army, slashed with their swords, or grabbed the enemy's legs with both hands, and when they pulled, the enemy responded.
When he fell down, they went up and stabbed him in with a knife.
Sun Jian thought he could hold on for at least an hour, but two incense sticks into the battle, Sun Jian realized that he was too optimistic.
If you can't hold on, the front has already started to collapse. It's only a matter of time before the central and rear armies collapse. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave!
Sun Jian did not intend to continue the fight. He turned his head and looked at the situation behind him, trying to call Sun Ce and Sun Jing to escape together, but he did not expect that what he saw was iron cavalry galloping freely.
He had no way out, the cavalry had completely divided and surrounded his Jiangdong Huaisi soldiers.
It's not that Sun Ce and Sun Jing didn't work hard, on the contrary, they worked very hard to lead the Jiangdong Huaisi soldiers to fight bravely against the Liangzhou cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Zhang He. However, the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou cavalry was far beyond their imagination.
Sun Ce and Sun Jing are no match at all.
The Liangzhou cavalry possesses the lethality and impact of a surprise cavalry. It roars towards them, and a cold light flashes across the battlefield. The soldiers of Jiangdong Huaisi are stained with blood on the battlefield, and they are almost unable to fight back. The small number of cavalry led by Sun Ce and Sun Jing are beaten by the Liangzhou cavalry as soon as they face each other.
It suffered heavy losses and was subsequently partitioned and surrounded.
Sun Ce and Sun Jing both wanted to break out of the encirclement to meet the other party, but they couldn't do it at all.
Both Zhao Yun and Zhang He led the army to carry out important missions for the first time. They worked hard to gain credit, demonstrate their military exploits in front of Liu Bei, and gain more attention from Liu Bei. Therefore, they fought very hard and led their own soldiers to kill them.
Sun Ce and Sun Jing rushed from left to right and were unable to get out. They saw that there were fewer and fewer cavalry around them, but there was nothing they could do.
Soon, there were not many cavalry left around Sun Jing. Zhang He seized the opportunity and thrust with a spear, killing Sun Jing with one blow, piercing Sun Jing's chest. Sun Jing didn't even have time to shout.
He fell off his horse and died.
Sun Ce was brave and fearless. When Zhao Yun wanted to kill him with a sudden thrust, he turned around on his horse and used a difficult equestrian movement that Zhao Yun could not imagine to avoid the fatal kill. Zhao Yun was very surprised.
However, Zhao Yun did not give up. He threw away the spear with a wave of his hand, pulled out his sword, turned the horse's head, and slashed with the sword. Sun Ce blocked it with his sword. The two of them went back and forth several times on the horse, using all their strength to kill the enemy.
Their respective martial arts and equestrian skills were maximized.
After all, Sun Ce was younger, but Zhao Yun was several years older than him. He had more strength, stronger body, and better horsemanship. He slashed hard with his sword and actually broke Sun Ce's sword.
Sun Ce's eyes widened, and he watched the sharp blade coming towards his head. He subconsciously twisted his body to avoid it like before, but he forgot that after the fight just now, he no longer had enough
of physical strength.
Sun Ce, who had exhausted all his strength, was struck in the neck by Zhao Yun. He pulled hard, and a terrible wound burst out with a large amount of blood. Sun Ce's body shook a few times, and he fell from his horse weakly and died.
