Yingchuan County, outside Yingyang City, Yingshui.
The sky in summer is cloudless and blue, and the scorching sun hanging high in the sky shines brightly on the earth. Even the gentle breeze carries a trace of irritating heat. There is no doubt that this is not the case.
It's a nice day to go out. But on both sides of Yingshui, there are countless people, wearing heavy armor, doing fierce sports. Yes, war
After Ru River, Ying River did not escape the fate of being polluted. On the shore, trees fell and grass flew, and it was a mess. The clear and clear river water was dyed black and red with blood, and corpses were everywhere on the river. At this moment, they were no longer
On behalf of Sun Jun and Cao Jun, they gnashed their teeth and used all means to kill their opponents. They were lying or lying on their backs, shoulder to shoulder, feet on top of each other, regardless of each other.
"Kill-kill-kill-"
"Boo-boo-boo-"
"Uh-huh——"
Along the miles-long river bank, thousands of Sun soldiers roared and jumped into the water, rushing towards the north bank. What greeted them was arrows that were as dense as rain. Accompanied by terrifying whistles, arrow clusters penetrated the armor.
Penetrating into the muscles, devouring every living life wantonly.
Sun Jian watched dumbly as the soldiers waded through the river with difficulty, one after another, just to defend a few scattered strongholds on the north bank. These Yu and Jing Jian soldiers whom he trained with his own hands defeated the national traitor Dong Zhuo, but before they had time to enjoy their praise and honor, they
It fell into the hands of "one's own people".
Thinking of this, a look of pain appeared on Sun Jian's resolute face, and he clenched his hands stained with dirt and blood, and said word by word: "I will not kill you, thief Cao, and I swear that I will not be a human being..."
He had said this no less than a hundred times, but the fact was that he had been blocked in Yingshui South for twenty days.
Today, Sun Jian, who had lost all his patience, personally led his troops to join the battle. The addition of the coach really boosted the momentum of the slightly sluggish Sun Army, but the defense line deployed by Cao Cao was impeccable, and Sun Army only occupied a few more strongholds on the north bank than usual.
Sun Jian knew very well that if he could not advance quickly and expand his achievements, Cao's army would regain all the lost ground once darkness fell. After gaining a foothold on the north bank, Sun Jian immediately sacrificed a total of 800 troops and warriors.
He was completely prepared to attack the tightly guarded Cao army's position this time. He did not avoid arrows and rushed to the front.
Sun Jian, who always wore a red turban and was easily identifiable, was hit by three arrows in a short time. Although he was not injured despite wearing small armor inside and heavy armor outside, he still frightened Wu Jing, Cheng Pu and other generals.
It's okay this time, but what about next time? Who can say for sure? Sun Jian is no longer an ordinary general. He is now the leader of a party, affecting the lives and fortunes of thousands of people. Regardless of his own wishes at the moment,
Forcibly send him back to the south bank.
"Counterattack and drive Sun's army down the river..." Cao Cao waved his sword and shouted in a hoarse voice. Although Sun Jian's group of fierce attackers just now only had 800 people, they were all well-equipped and brave and good at fighting.
They were truly elite, and their position was almost lost. Fortunately, after Sun Jian retreated, Sun Jun's indomitable momentum subsided.
One situation ebbs and flows, and Cao Cao prepares to launch an all-out attack to drive Sun's army down the river.
Seeing Cao Cao standing in front of the formation like a mad tiger and roaring, Xiahou Dun led a dozen personal guards to surround him, pulling and pulling him, and advised him: "General, it's too dangerous here, it's better to go back..."
Before he could finish his words, a soldier who was standing outside with a shield to protect Cao Cao suddenly shook his body, then fell on his back, splashing dust all over the ground, and a long arrow was clearly nailed to his throat, and his eyes were blinded.
The boss stared as if he couldn't believe that he could die so easily...
Xiahou Dun immediately became more insistent and wanted to make Cao Cao retreat no matter what, even if he used force.
Cao Cao was furious, struggled to break free, pointed a knife at Xiahou Dun's face, and shouted: "Xiahou Yuanrang, if you dare to say "retreat" again, I will kill you." After twenty days of fierce fighting day and night, not only Sun's army suffered heavy losses, but Cao's army also suffered heavy losses.
We have reached our limit, and now we have to see who is more persistent. At this time, Cao Cao never dared to retreat easily. He was afraid that if he left, Cao Cao's army would collapse.
"General..."
"Go away, don't bother me." Cao Cao waved his sword impatiently, and then ordered to a general behind him: "Wen Ze, I will give you two thousand elite soldiers to remove Sun's army's strongholds one by one."
"Nuo." Wen Ze's surname is Yu Jin, he is more than thirty years old, more than seven feet tall, and his appearance is just that of a middle-aged man. It is unremarkable at a glance, but he has a calm and calm demeanor. He is from Taishan, Yanzhou.
When the Yellow Turbans arose in Zhongping, Bao Xin recruited his disciples in the countryside and dealt with the entourage of Jinfu. However, Yu and Yanzhou were quickly suppressed by Gai Jun. He did not achieve much merit and only became the commander of the village (a hundred-man general). Last year
Cao Cao was stationed in Yuzhou to recruit troops from the Lu State, which happened to be close to Mount Tai. Bao Xin was somewhat impressed by Yu Jin, who had a rigorous temperament, and recommended him to Cao Cao. The two met and had a pleasant conversation, and they decided to rule as kings and ministers.
Yu Jin took the order and left, but Zhou Zhe came on horseback. Although he didn't know how to fight, he was not lacking in courage.
Cao Cao turned around and looked back and asked: "Brother Zhou, where did the two brothers attack?" The two brothers he mentioned were Zhou Xin, Zhou Xin, the eldest brother of Danyang, and Zhou Ang, the governor of Jiujiang, his second brother. Cao Cao was guarding you that day.
After more than ten days of fighting, they were forced to withdraw to Yingshui, so they were notified to send troops from Peiguo Longkang to attack the east of Runan, forcing Sun Jian to divide his troops to reduce the pressure on Yingchuan.
Zhou Zhe smiled rarely when he heard this and replied: "I just got the news that the second brother is making good progress and has advanced to the front line of Yingshui. Sun Jian will not be able to sit still."
Both Yingshui and Rushui are large rivers that cross Yingchuan and Runan. Especially Yingshui cuts Runan County in two diagonally. Zhou Xin and Zhou Ang advance to Yingshui, which means that Rudong falls into their hands.
, which accounts for about three-quarters of the total area of Runan County. Don’t underestimate these three-quarters. You must know that Runan County accounts for half of Yuzhou. To use a vivid metaphor, there are almost two Ludong counties in Rudong.
The size of the country is comparable to that of Chen and Liang, and is equivalent to 70 to 80% of Yingchuan County.
"Okay, okay... Son Jian, let me see if you can distinguish your troops..." Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh heartily. Your east, west, north, and west stretch all the way to the middle of the Chen Kingdom, which is only more than 200 miles away from Yingchuan. Zhou Zhe was right.
, Sun Jian will soon be unable to sit still.
In the name of experiencing war, Sun Ce begged for a long time and promised not to mess around before he got his father's permission. However, as soon as he arrived at the north bank, he forgot about it and dived into the formation, gliding through it like a fish. He was ordered to protect his troops.
Qu's guards were immediately frightened out of their wits and hurried to catch up. What was disappointing was that Sun Ce was too fast and they lost track of him.
Sun Ce moved around in the crowd. The deafening sound of war drums and shouts of death made his blood boil. Suddenly, several rows of armored men with halberds in front of him jumped to the ground. Sun Ce was immediately stunned. It turned out that he had rushed to the ground without knowing it.
At the forefront of the battle formation. Before he could react, countless long arrows roared towards him, covering the sky and the sun, boundless...
Sun Ce's face suddenly turned pale. A side servant grabbed a large shield to protect his body. The next moment, a series of muffled sounds came from the shield. Sun Ce lay on the ground and stared blankly at several wooden shields that pierced the cowhide.
With a somewhat ferocious cluster of iron arrows, he had never felt that death was so close to him. He screamed, rolled and crawled, and fled back into the formation in embarrassment.
Immediately, the two torrents of steel collided violently.
Due to the influence of his father Sun Jian, Sun Ce practiced martial arts since childhood. When he was young, he defeated ten family guests with one person. These people were not ordinary people. Most of them were Yangzhou rangers and were famous for their bravery. Two years later
This year, Sun Ce's martial arts became even more refined, and he could defeat hundreds of people on the battlefield. The result was completely different from what he imagined.
Sun Ce's mind went blank at this time. Facing the soldiers of Cao who were rushing towards him with red eyes, he blocked the left and the right, unable to fight back. He felt like a small boat in the angry sea, bumping and swaying, and might capsize at any time.
Danger.
However, Sun Ce is an extraordinary person after all. After surviving the most difficult initial stage, his mood gradually calmed down and he grew rapidly at a visible speed. Soon, he harvested his first enemy head, which was the same as him.
There are two young people out there. Sun Ce abandoned the flashy moves and used his sword harder and harder and faster...
When Sun Ce killed the sixth man, a long halberd suddenly appeared in his field of vision. He only had time to avoid his head. The branch of the halberd sliced open his shawl, leaving a wound of more than half a foot on his right shoulder.
Sun Ce let out a miserable cry, let go of his right hand, and dropped his long sword. This was the first time he was injured since he entered the battlefield. He raised his shield with his left hand and hit the attacker's face hard, smashing his mouth and nose. He seemed to be still angry,
Picking up the knife on the ground, he slashed at the attacker crazily, once, twice...
"Hoo, ho..." Sun Ce looked at the pile of rotten meat in front of him, finally calmed down, put away his knife and looked around. His aura was so crazy that there was no one within two feet around him.
"Young Master, let's go quickly..." Buqu's personal guards finally caught up and dragged him away without saying a word. Sun Ce did not resist. Yesterday, no, even before crossing the river, he was still yearning for Gai Yin, Pang De and others.
Holding a four-foot-long sword, he has the demeanor of an invincible general on the battlefield. Now, he has given up on this idea. Gong Jin is right, the courage of an ordinary man is insignificant.
When Sun Ce was halfway across the river, a clang sounded from behind. Sun's army could not stop Cao's attack and was completely defeated. By the time Sun Ce safely landed ashore, three of the seven Sun's army strongholds on the north bank had been lost, and the remaining four were also in danger.
It seems that today will end in failure again. Sun Ce covered his right shoulder and sighed secretly.
Sure enough, not long after, Sun Jian ordered a retreat. Sun's troops on the north bank rushed to jump into the river and swam back as if they had been granted amnesty. Cao's troops lined up along the bank, firing their bows and crossbows. Arrows poured into the river like rain. Many of Sun's troops were hit by arrows.
Less than half of the people escaped.
Sun Jian's face was expressionless, and the bulging veins on his neck showed the pain and anger in his heart.
"General..." the generals called cautiously.
Sun Jian said nothing, turned and walked away with a livid face.
