In the Dongwu Village, a group of soldiers rushed out at the opening of the camp gate and formed a formation in front of the village.
Under the sect's banner, Sun Quan jumped out with golden helmets and armor surrounded by generals. Beside him were Ling Tong, Zhou Tai, Ding Feng, Jia Hua, Song Qian and other generals. In just this time, the Eastern Wu soldiers and horses were out of the camp, and the number was still increasing.
On the other hand, the Jin army's formation was only about 2,000.
However, these two thousand soldiers and horses are all cavalry.
"Care with me!" Seeing that the Eastern Wu soldiers were still in the array, Jin general Zang Bahu roared and urged two thousand cavalry to rush forward. For a moment, people shouted and neighed, and the sound was rumbling!
The Eastern Wu soldiers were not in a stable position, and there was a riot. Two thousand cavalrymen shot out a wave of crossbow arrows, which made the team loose. Seeing this, Zang Ba led the cavalry into the Wu soldiers' formation, and they clashed three times. They passed by like entering a no-man's land, and no one could stop them!
Sun Quan was protected by the generals and retreated repeatedly. Seeing Zang Ba so rampant, he was furious and shouted: "Where is Song Qian? Do you dare to take his head with me?"
The brave general Song Qian came out! He took the halberd of Fangtian to capture Zang Ba! Song Qian was a confidant trained by Sun Quan. Half of the 1,000 cavalry under Sun Quan's command were under his command. Jiangdong did not produce horses, and Sun Quan's army had only about seven or eight thousand horses, which shows that Song Qian was worthy of Sun Quan's trust.
However, he obviously looked down on Zang Ba a little. Although he did not show his light among the powerful generals under Wen Yuan's command, his ability to overwhelm many first-class generals commanded the troops of Xuzhou, mainly due to Wen Yuan's clearness of Zang Ba's ability.
Both the Romance and history, Zang Ba seems not very famous. The most powerful move is that he used thousands of troops to drag down Yuan Tan's 100,000 troops in Qingzhou to invade the south, ensuring the stability of Cao Cao's right wing. However, Wen Yuan, who is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, is definitely of real material, and is no less than any general with first-class command.
Looking at Xuzhou, there is no general with stronger martial arts than Zang Ba. When he joined forces with Lu Bu to fight Cao, Zang Ba also formed his own army and was not under the control of Lu Bu. Just imagine that a person who practiced Lu Bu could not even annex Zang Ba's subordinates! In the Battle of Guandu, Zang Ba was able to attack the masses with a few on the right wing, and the same status as Cao Ren who sent Cao Cao to Henei to defend the left wing. It can be seen that he was mostly respected. After that, he guarded the southeast and was granted the title of General Zhendong and Garvi Hou, and was almost as famous as Zhang Liao, the tiger of the Great Wei! Even if such a general was not famous in Wen Yuan's life, Wen Yuan would have unconditional trust in him.
Zang Ba's subordinates were mostly bandits on the Qingxu border. Although they had lost their bandits over the years, their fighting style was still a bit unnatural. Zang Ba came here to kill Sun Quan's majesty. Seeing that Sun Quan's formation was not stable, other generals in command would probably withdraw a hundred steps and let the enemy troops set up their formations, and then have a dignified battle. But Zang Ba was not such a general. Seeing that there was a advantage to take, he rushed forward and bite it without hesitation! He was like a hungry wolf, cunning and fierce!
Sun Quan was furious here and asked Song Qian to fight Zang Ba.
Song Qian led more than a hundred cavalry to come and shouted, "Zang Ba's husband Xiu is going to be rampant, let's see your grandfather Song come to take your life!" He thought that Zang Ba would fight alone with him, and even ordered the cavalry behind him to fall a few steps behind, so as not to turn into a group fight.
However, Zang Ba obviously did not have the awareness of Song Qian fighting alone. Seeing Song Qian leading a team of cavalry to attack, he no longer continued to attack the Eastern Wu formation. However, seeing that Song Qian was in a relatively high position, the cavalry behind him could not be protected. This man, who looked strong and tough on the outside but was actually calm and tranquil in his heart, grinned and raised his arm, and hundreds of crossbow arrows pointed at the Wu general...
A hundred arrows were shot at once, and Song Qian was shot into a hedgehog on the spot. Most of the more than a hundred cavalry behind him were not spared. They were shot by a rain of arrows, and suddenly they were overturned. The survivors also ran back into the formation with their heads in their arms. The hot Zang Ba and the cavalry around him burst into laughter.
Sun Quan was so angry that he was itchy, but because he was reluctant to lose the cavalry, he could only watch Zang Bayao and Wu Xingwei, while urging the soldiers to speed up the formation.
But he was even more angry and vomiting blood. Seeing that the Eastern Wu formation was about to be completed, Zang Ba retreated dozens of steps, and saw him pointing at Sun Quan from a distance and shouting: "Rebel Sun Quan, how dare you invade my territory! This Hefei is your burial place!" After that, he led the cavalry to turn around and leave.
Only then did Sun Quan realize that Zang Ba came over from afar, but was not planning to fight with the Eastern Wu Bing with real swords and guns, but turned around and left with a fake move?
What about Zang Ba? He was not a fool at first, and he even had a clear grasp of the situation of the enemy and us! He knew that Sun Quan had a strong army this time, and his supporters were still far away halfway. The enemy was strong and we were weak, so he had to delay the advancement of the Eastern Wu soldiers. So Zang Ba led two thousand cavalry to kick the Wu camp this time.
Zang Ba even made up his mind to resist step by step with the mobility of the cavalry and to delay the operations of the Eastern Wu soldiers as much as possible.
Seeing Zang Ba leave with ease, it would be useless no matter how angry Sun Quan was. This was the disadvantage of not having a cavalry. He could only watch the other party retreat safely and could not deal with it.
Perhaps the division of camps is a way to attract enemy soldiers head-on, and then send troops to detour to the enemy soldiers. But the key is that Sun Quan has just arrived in Chaohu and has not yet divided the camp shed.
On that day, Sun Quan ordered the army to set up seven camps, which lasted for more than 20 miles. Zang Ba's performance today made Sun Quan foresee that it would be not so easy to move forward in the future, and he could only use step by step. And things were indeed as Sun Quan expected. Almost every time he advanced for a period of time, Zang Ba would suddenly appear to harass him and go. After three days, the Eastern Wu soldiers advanced thirty miles. Not only did they stop and stop, but they also shocked the soldiers a day and were in a state of tension.
Fortunately, Sun Quan has another hope, which is to see if the plan proposed to him before can be implemented smoothly.
Sun Quan knew that most of the naval soldiers summoned by Lu Meng were selected from the auxiliary soldiers of various states. However, after the navy stationed in Shaohu, he also recruited some local young and strong people who were familiar with water to join the army. According to Zhou Yu, a detailed work he placed in Shucheng was accidentally incorporated into the navy.
This detailed work is Zhou Yu's fellow countryman, and his loyalty is undoubtedly. But after Zhou Yu said that, he has already contacted this detailed work and I believe he will take action in a few days!
Three days later, Zhou Yu came to Sun Quan and said that he had made an agreement with Xiaozhu. At the third update tonight, Xiaozhu set fire in the water camp as a slogan, causing riots from the inside. At that time, he would take advantage of the chaos to set fireboats to attack and strive to annihilate Lu Meng in one fell swoop!
