Simbi jumped to his feet and stared at the knight of the guard, his face as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.

10,000 people did not surround Sun Ce, but Yuan Tan was surrounded by Sun Ce?

How is this possible? In the whole plan, Sun Ce is the most important goal, and the others are incidental. As long as Sun Ce can be killed, Yuan Tan will be the final victor. Sun Jian is brave and strategic, not worth mentioning. He also didn't have Sun Ce's means, and he couldn't get the civil and military generals recruited by Sun Ce, retreating to Jiangnan and being a Taishou was his best ending.

To this end, he arranged for 10,000 elites to deal with Sun Ce, including 6,000 strong crossbows. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Yuan Tan led the guards to rush to reinforcements, a total of 15,000 people, which is half of the elite under Yuan Tan's command, and Sun Ce has less than 1,000 people, even if he can use one as ten, it is impossible to achieve this result.

If it wasn't Yuan Tan's personal guard knight in front of him, seeing each other every day, Xin Bi almost suspected that this was a trick by someone sent by Sun Ce. The news was so unexpected that he was caught off guard and not mentally prepared at all. He got up and left his seat, and after two circles of turn, he returned to the knight of the guard.

"You retell what happened, be detailed, the more detailed the better."

The knight nodded again and again, and recounted the details of what had happened. Not long after they left the camp, they saw some routs coming from the direction of Wan'an Pavilion. Yuan Tan originally thought that it was a sporadic rout, but later found that the strong crossbow captain who should have set up an ambush in Wan'an Pavilion was also retreating, and then he realized that the position had completely collapsed. Then they found the pursuers, who were knights led by Yan Xing, and there were many of them, about a thousand.

Simbi raised his hand and interrupted the knight, who had already understood. The accident was due to the appearance of more than 1,000 cavalry in Yan Xing. It is true that the 5,000 foot soldiers are elite, but they have limited experience in dealing with cavalry, and they focus on Sun Ce on the east side, and they don't pay attention to the cavalry that will appear behind them. Suddenly attacked, there was no time to change the formation, and it collapsed all at once.

The Kwantung soldiers had little experience in dealing with cavalry, and Sun Ce used cavalry to break the formation in several major battles, so everyone was a little panicked about cavalry, and Sun Ce and Guo Jia took advantage of this panic to the extreme. Yan Xing's harassment outside the camp last night had already made the mood of the soldiers in the battalion tense all night, and now he had succeeded in a surprise attack, breaking the encirclement he had carefully planned. Why didn't you remind the soldiers in ambush to be careful of Yan Xing yesterday? Simbi was annoyed. The strong crossbow is a sharp weapon against the cavalry, as long as the preparation is sufficient, the three thousand strong crossbows are enough to severely damage the more than 1,000 knights, and it is impossible to collapse quickly.

Simbi slapped his forehead vigorously. He exerted so much force that it shook the wound, and it became a faint ache again. He hurriedly put down his hand, turned back and forth twice, and looked at the dark clouds floating in the sky at some point, motionless.

There were more dark clouds in his heart, it was already dark, and there was no hope in sight.

originally thought that there was a major accident at the beginning of the plan that was nine out of ten, Yuan Tan was in distress, how could this battle be fought?

Xin Bi stood dumbfounded, cold sweat after gust, and soon soaked his clothes. The knight stood aside, looking at him anxiously. Yuan Tan was besieged, waiting for Xin Bi to save his life, what happened if Xin Bi didn't say anything? He waited in a hurry, and couldn't help but remind him twice.

Xin Bi woke up like a dream, glanced apologetically at the knight of the guard, paced back and forth for two steps, and said, "You go back immediately, please make a way for you to withdraw to the camp." I'll transfer someone to answer now, and I'll attack Sun Ce. ”

"Whoa." The knight of the guard didn't even have time to listen to what Simbi had to say, then he turned and rushed out, jumped on his horse, and galloped away.

Xin Bi smiled bitterly, thought for a moment, the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily for a while, returned to the case, spread out the pen and paper, hastily wrote a few lines, pouted, blew hard, and when the ink was almost dry, he immediately folded it, stuffed it into a green sac, filled it with sealing mud, picked up the thorn seal that Yuan Tan left here, just about to use it, after thinking about it, he put it down again, used his own long history seal instead, covered it hard, called the waiter, and asked him to send it to Rencheng immediately.

Xin Bi immediately issued three more orders: let Zhu Ling allocate 10,000 horses to meet Yuan Tan, and at the same time guard the camp of the front army, and must not let Sun Jian break through his defense line and attack the Chinese army, which has become an empty battalion; Let the five thousand elites of Wan'an Tingdong rush to meet Yuan Tan; He also sent someone to inform Feng Kai and asked him to allocate 10,000 people to Wan'an Pavilion to participate in the siege of Sun Ce.

Together with Yuan Tan's 5,000 men and horses, Xin Bi mobilized a total of 30,000 men to besiege Sun Ce.

After doing all this, Xin Bi leaned heavily on the couch, and there was a heart-piercing pain in the back of his head, and the blood quickly stained the cloth pillow, but he was indifferent, looking at the blue-black roof, and let out a long sigh.

"Envoy, I tried my best, whether I can succeed or not depends on the will of God."

——

Facing the ridicule of Sun Ce's soldiers, Yuan Tan was so angry that his face was as red as blood, his scalp was numb, and he almost lifted his helmet. He resisted the idea of riding his horse out of battle and fighting Sun Ce to the death, nervously thinking about countermeasures, and trying his best to calm himself down.

In order not to be controlled by anger, Yuan Tan opened his eyes wide, scanned the surroundings, and tried his best to distinguish the opponent he was facing. There is Sun Ce in front of him, there are more than ten guards and knights, these people know at a glance that they are not ordinary knights, whether they are armor or war horses, they are much better than other knights, and their expressions and temperaments are also different.

These should be the knights who Sun Ce defeated Wen Chou, the largest number of people, but the most elite, all of them are one in a hundred warriors.

In addition, there are two hundred horsemen led by Ma Chao, these people are in high spirits, but many of them have hoarse voices, there are injuries on their bodies, and the number of horses is not much, it seems that they have just gone through a vicious battle, and their physical strength is insufficient.

Then there is the thousand horsemen led by Yan Xing, which should be a personal guard horse, which is stronger than ordinary knights, but the advantages are limited. They didn't have the first time to attack his formation, but only kept harassing with cavalry, which showed that the grasp of charging was not very good.

Yuan Tan counted back and forth, and always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't remember it for a while. He asked the guards next to him sideways, and the guards were also confused, and when they went back to discuss with a few other people, they couldn't think of anything missing. The guard knights, the righteous servant riders, and the personal guard riders are all here, what is the difference?

Seeing that Yuan Tan and the others were talking to each other, not knowing what they were discussing, Sun Ce knew that Yuan Tan was already in a mess at the moment, and he was just pretending to be calm. A person of Yuan Tan's status, except for a famous person like Xiang Xinbi, he would not ask an ordinary knight for advice, even if these knights were very close.

Take advantage of your illness to kill you. Sun Ce said loudly: "Yuan Yuanjun, don't you want to appreciate your face? In that case, then don't blame me for not being polite and using brute force to attack. The sword has no eyes, in case it hurts you and cuts your scalp, don't blame me for being too ruthless. ”

Yuan Tan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He knew what he had missed, Sun Ce was surrounded by cavalry, and there were no foot soldiers. He only brought the righteous cavalry and the personal guard cavalry, but he did not bring the righteous cavalry, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who were known for their bravery, were not there. When it comes to breaking through well-formed foot soldiers, strong foot soldiers are the best option, and cavalry is not the best choice. Cavalry can surprise and sneak attack, but they can't break through the infantry phalanx head-on. In the face of the arrow array composed of spears and bows and crossbows, even elite cavalry could not do anything, otherwise the casualties would inevitably be heavy.

Sun Ce is bluffing, using the most commonly used thin attack tactics of cavalry to scare people, if the foot soldiers are panicked and the position is flawed, Sun Ce may take advantage of it, if the foot soldiers do not move, Sun Ce can only restrain himself from the precipice, otherwise he will kill himself.

Such tactics still have the possibility of success against ordinary foot soldiers, and against his personal guard battalion, it is really a little underestimated against him. After appreciating Sun Ce's cavalry assault tactics, he had already carried out intensive training for the personal guard battalion, especially to familiarize them with the cavalry's assault tactics, so that they dared to face the cavalry's assault without wavering. Yan Xing circled around these foot soldiers twice, and countless light attacks failed to find a single opportunity. What can Sun Ce do?

Yuan Tan laughed loudly. "Then I'll wait here for the general......"

Before the words fell, Sun Ce kicked the war horse violently, and suddenly accelerated forward, and the overlord killed it high, and roared loudly.

"Kill—"
