The dizzying sun was high in the sky. Leng Bao led a thousand Dongzhou elite troops to stand firmly on the hill. Sun Ce led the cavalry to attack. When he saw a small group of Sichuan troops blocking the way, he couldn't help but lead his cavalry to charge forward.
He wanted to defeat the Sichuan army in one fell swoop.
However, Sun Ce obviously underestimated the combat power of the Dongzhou soldiers. After the cavalry suffered two rounds of arrows, they collided head-on with the formation of the Dongzhou soldiers who had replaced their white-barrel guns. The deft white-barrel guns pierced the knight's chest from top to bottom.
On the chest, abdomen and horse's head, Jiangdong's cavalry suddenly flipped over on their backs. Their upward attack eliminated most of the impact of the horses, and the cavalry and Dongzhou soldiers were entangled.
The Dongzhou soldiers occupied a favorable location, and as a result of the entanglement, the Jiangdong soldiers were massacred one-sidedly and suffered heavy losses. Sun Ce was so angry that he wanted to charge straight to the Sichuan army's formation single-handedly. However, Zhou Yu firmly persuaded him, and the Jiangdong cavalry retreated down the mountain like a tide.
"I didn't expect the Sichuan army to be so powerful, three points better than our elite Danyang soldiers. No wonder Liu Zhang can lead this group of powerful soldiers to defeat them in every attack."
Zhou Yu looked at the Sichuan army tightly guarding the hill. If it were an ordinary army, even if it occupied a favorable location, it would not be possible to repel the Jiangdong cavalry so easily. Not only were all the Sichuan soldiers fearless of death, but they also used ruthless attacks.
The soldiers around him cooperated perfectly, and they were not in a good position to engage in battle. They guarded and defended tightly. If there was an opportunity to counterattack, they would hold on to it.
"I don't care whether these Bashu barbarians are made of copper or iron. If they stand in front of me, Sun Ce, there is only one outcome for them: death."
After Sun Ce raised his horse and raised his gun, he was about to organize a cavalry charge again, but Zhou Yu signaled to stop him. Zhou Yu looked up at the hill and said: "My lord, these Sichuan soldiers are determined to bury their bodies here. They are condescending and a hard attack will inevitably cause heavy casualties."
, we’d better wait for the rear infantry to arrive.”
"How can that be done?" Sun Ce waved his gun and said decisively: "If we wait for the infantry to arrive, Liu Zhang will not even know how far he can escape. If I can't kill Liu Zhang in the south of the river, how can I, Sun Ce, be worthy of Tai Shi Ci and my third brother?"
Undead."
Zhou Yu smiled lightly and said: "I estimate that the infantry will arrive in half an hour at the latest. By then I will be able to capture this hill for my lord in one fell swoop. The river is nearly a hundred miles away, and Liu Zhang cannot escape."
"Gong Jin, are you sure you can defeat the Sichuan army on the mountain in a short time?"
"One stick of incense." Zhou Yu said confidently.
"Okay, since you said so, then I believe you."
Although Sun Ce didn't know how Zhou Yu would deal with the group of Sichuan troops on the mountain who looked like desperadoes, he believed in this brother from the bottom of his heart, and firmly believed that since Zhou Yu said this, he would definitely be able to do it.
Half an hour later, Huang Gai, Han Dang and other veteran generals arrived with the infantry. Zhou Yu selected a thousand Danyang elite soldiers to form a circular formation that was dense on the outside and empty on the inside. They stood quietly under the hill. Leng Bao on the mountain.
Seeing that he didn't know why, he didn't bother to care about the tricks Jiang Dongjun was playing. He slashed his sword and looked down resolutely at the Jiangdong soldiers arriving one after another from the bottom of the mountain.
There is no end in sight for Jiangdong's army column.
Zhou Yu divided the Jiangdong cavalry into two teams, one on the left and one on the left, and stood by in place. At the same time, he ordered a large number of infantry to attack the two wings of the Sichuan army. Then he got into the center of the circular formation and directed the formation to slowly approach the Sichuan army's position.
Dongzhou's elite troops fought hard, but even if Jiangdong's army switched to infantry to attack, they could not gain any advantage. The hill was too narrow and the army could not move around. Jiangdong's army on both wings could not move forward, and the entire charge came to a standstill.
At this moment, the circular formation commanded by Zhou Yu personally collided with the Dongzhou soldiers.
The Dongzhou soldiers still stood condescendingly and looked down to kill the enemy as usual, but as soon as the battle began, they discovered something was wrong. Zhou Yu's circular formation was not a general defensive formation, but was slowly rotating. As the circular formation rotated, the Danyang soldiers in the formation
They formed groups of three to five and kept handing out spears while the formation slowly moved forward.
This is the chariot formation invented by the hussar general Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing's chariot formation was used for cavalry. It was the only formation that could be called a formation for motorized cavalry, and it was astonishingly powerful.
However, the real Che Xuan Zhi has been lost. For more than two hundred years, no one has been able to command the cavalry to form a Che Xuan Zhi with extremely powerful attack and defense power. Zhou Yu instead used infantry that was easier to control.
Like a wheel equipped with a razor, as it rotates, the soldiers in the chariot formation take turns killing the enemy, and they attack the same point of the Dongzhou soldiers, just like razor blades scraping carrots. The powerful Dongzhou soldiers are unable to parry and defend.
It's getting thinner and thinner, and it won't hold up until you see it.
Leng Bao was shocked and hurriedly ordered the infantry on both wings to move closer to the center.
Just when the Dongzhou soldiers completed the central reinforcement, Sun Ce waved his spear from the bottom of the mountain, and the Jiangdong cavalry on both wings rushed up the mountain, defeating the extremely weak two wings of the Sichuan army in one fell swoop. An open gap appeared in the defense of the Dongzhou soldiers, like a dike breach.
The Jiangdong cavalry led the infantry to rush in from both wings.
Leng Bao's thousand Dongzhou soldiers were completely surrounded by Jiangdong's army. What awaited them was only destruction.
At this time, it was less than a cup of tea from the time Jiangdong Army launched its charge to the time when the entire Sichuan Army was surrounded, and this also determined that Liu Zhang would have difficulty escaping Jiangdong Army's pursuit.
After breaking through the hill, Sun Ce led the cavalry to pursue quickly towards the bank of the river again.
………………
The Sichuan army marched at full speed, galloping for dozens of miles. The skin of Fazheng and other civil servants' thighs was almost worn out by the lameness of their horses, let alone those soldiers who were running for their lives on foot.
Fazheng looked back several times. After all, Leng Bao only had a thousand soldiers. Jiangdong's army was not the Brazilian recruits before. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both heroes in the world. Fazheng was really not sure how long Leng Bao could hold off Jiangdong's army.
However, Fazheng finally put down his worries. When the Sichuan army saw the surging river water, Fazheng still did not see the shadow of Jiangdong's army from behind.
However, it is just river water.
Gan Ning's navy did not arrive at Baling as scheduled.
Fazheng and many Sichuan military officers and soldiers looked at the surging blue water of the Yangtze River and the endless Yangtze River. The black spots they wanted never appeared, and their hearts gradually became cold.
The exhausted soldiers collapsed on the river bank. Some of them washed their necks and faces with river water, then leaned against the rocks and closed their eyes to sleep.
"Even if Leng Bao can hold off Jiangdong Army for two hours, Jiangdong Army's fast-horse cavalry should have arrived." Fazheng thought mockingly to himself, smiling lonely, but he didn't expect that after so much effort, he still couldn't escape destruction.
destiny.
Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. He did not see Gan Ning's navy. He also knew what the result would be. He was not Han Xin and could not fight against the weak to defeat the strong. He was destined to be buried in the Yangtze River today.
But at this moment, Liu Zhang's heartbeat was unusually calm. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu arrived early, the Shanyue people suddenly raided the city, and then Gan Ning didn't arrive at Baling for some reason. This was obviously God playing tricks on him.
If God wants me to perish, how can I not perish?
Liu Zhang looked at the river connected to the blue sky and slowly drew out his sword. He had no choice but to fight with all his strength, "Since God wants me to die, I will die for you, but please,
See clearly."
The sword shines green under the reflection of the river and the sun. Even if you die, you will swing the last sword at the enemy.
At the mouth of Dongting Lake, west of Red Cliff, there are two riverside cities, one is called Baling and the other is Baqiu. Two roads lead to the two cities respectively. Sun Ce led the Jiangdong cavalry to the fork and began to hesitate. Three thousand
The cavalry was already very few and it was impossible to divide the troops. I wanted to check for traces, but I was afraid that the Sichuan army had set up a suspicious formation.
Just when Sun Ce was in trouble, he suddenly saw a girl in yellow sitting on the branch of a fruit tree in the woods next to the fork. The girl in yellow was holding a bunch of withered wormwood in her left hand and struggling to pick wild fruits on the tree with her right hand.
Note: The earliest Chexuan Formation came from Guiguzi, and was later used in actual combat by Huo Qubing. It was carried forward by the Japanese during the Warring States Period.
