Chapter 1025: Never Give Up
Sun Ce and Ma Chao rushed into battle brazenly, although they paid the price of being injured and the horses killed, they still broke through the interception of the foot soldiers with their personal super force, and killed more than ten knights in a row at a lightning speed, and suddenly took a few steps in front of Yuan Tan.
Seeing that Sun Ce and Ma Chao were getting closer and closer, Yuan Tan panicked.
From childhood to adulthood, except for the time when he was in close contact with Sun Ce outside Xiaohuangcheng, he rarely had the opportunity to fight at close range, he was always under the heavy protection of the guards, calmly accepting the respect and envy of others, even if it was a swordsman who was famous in Beijing, he was polite in front of him, and did not dare to have a trace of collision.
What's more, at this moment, he is facing the two killing gods Sun Ce and Ma Chao, who keep saying that he wants to take his life, how can he not panic.
Sun Ce almost killed him last time, and this time with Ma Chao's help, the chance of success is greater.
What's more, there were still a hundred and ten knights behind them who were forcibly assaulting, especially the few attendant knights around Sun Ce were the most ferocious, and they had already rushed behind Sun Ce, all of them were murderous and unstoppable, and almost no one of the guards who met to block them could block their blow. With their help, Sun Ce is like a tiger with wings, and no one can stop him. In the blink of an eye, Sun Ce and Ma Chao burst out in front of him again.
Is it to take the lead, boost morale, and rush forward to meet the battle, or to focus on the overall situation and retreat first? Yuan Tan was still hesitating, but the guards were anxious, and took Yuan Tan's horse reins and left.
"Envoy, Sun Ce is fierce, retreat quickly!"
Yuan Tan wanted to drink it, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back. He glanced back. He saw that Sun Ce had snatched a spear and threw it hard, but he didn't have time to think about it, he turned around and drew his knife, exerted all his strength, and slashed it out, hitting the spearhead, with a crisp sound of "dang", the spear flew out, Yuan Tan's arm also lost consciousness, the knife was out of his hand, and he could only hold the horse's neck with his left hand, kick the horse's belly fiercely, and gallop forward.
One of the guards beside him fell off his horse with a thud, a bloody wound on his left rib, the armor was broken, the flesh was turned over, and the blood was gushing out. "Make ...... Envoy! He looked at Yuan Tan, his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief. Before he could finish speaking, a war horse galloped in, the hooves of the bowl-sized horse stepped on his chest, and the guard spurted blood from his mouth, and died instantly.
Yuan Tan looked at it carefully, his heart was shocked, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and kicked the horse again to speed up. It wasn't until the horse had run a hundred and ten paces that he realized that he might have killed the guard. His swing was too wide, first striking the guard's left rib and then slashing at the spear thrown by Sun Ce.
Do I have so much strength? Yuan Tan didn't believe it a little.
"General!" Guo Wu, Chen Wu, and Xu Sheng rushed to Sun Ce's side in no particular order. "Here we are."
"Don't be stupid, chase me." Sun Ce pointed at Yuan Tan, who was getting farther and farther away, and shouted angrily. He and Ma Chao were stopped by more than a dozen people, and although they quickly killed their opponents, they still missed the opportunity to kill Yuan Tan. Seeing Yuan Tan running farther and farther, he was angry.
"Whoa!" Guo Wu replied and rode his horse forward. Chen Wu and Xu Sheng were both a step slower, grabbed an empty saddle war horse and jumped up, and then turned the horse's head to catch up. Sun Ce turned his head and saw that the two of their war horses had been hit by several arrows, and their legs trembled, and they couldn't support it for long. Sun Ce turned his head to look, there were few figures behind him, and when he looked around, he only saw three or four people, Guo Yuan and Xie Guanglong were gone, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
This time the loss was big, and in order to rush Yuan Tan's formation, the thirteen cavalry suffered heavy losses.
Sun Ce's anger rose from his heart, and he roared loudly: "If you don't kill Yuan Tan today, you will never give up." Kicking the horse and rushing forward, Ma Chao also grabbed an empty saddle war horse, jumped on it, and chased after him.
Sun Ce chased for more than a dozen steps, and found that the situation was not optimistic. These war horses are all ordinary war horses, and they can't be compared with the Xiliang horses he rode before, the speed and handling performance are a lot worse, and it is almost impossible to accelerate to catch up with Yuan Tan in a short time. Although he was unwilling, he immediately adjusted his tactics, controlled the speed of the horse, and waited for Ma Chao, Xu Sheng and others to catch up, maintain the formation, and pursue Yuan Tan.
Pound led Yi to chase after him. The righteous cavalry lost more than forty horses, and after two charges, almost all of the horses were killed as meat shields.
Sun Ce hated it and vowed to catch up with Yuan Tan.
After more than two hundred steps, Yuan Tan could also feel Sun Ce's murderous aura, and he didn't dare to stop at all, and galloped wildly. Guo Wu followed, his spear fell, and he picked off the backward guards knights one by one, but his mount was not as good as the Liaodong horse under Yuan Tan's crotch, and no matter how he drove it, he couldn't shorten the distance between him and Yuan Tan.
But there were fewer and fewer knights around Yuan Tan, some were killed by Guo Wu, and some couldn't keep up with Yuan Tan, so they simply fled for their lives. Yuan Tan didn't notice it at all, didn't even look back, and rode his horse to the east. He didn't go back to the camp, he knew that there were no more troops in the camp, but there were still 5,000 elites and 3,000 strong crossbows not far to the east, as long as he could run there, he still had a chance to escape.
Seeing Sun Ce break the formation, Yan Xing immediately changed his tactics, blew the horn, ordered the knights to change the formation, and overwhelmingly rushed towards the formation that had been pierced by Sun Ce and others, and pounced on the chaotic Yuan army's personal guards. With the whole attack chaos, with the fast and slow, they quickly swept the position of the Yuan army, combed back and forth twice, left more than a hundred horsemen to collect war horses, Yan Xing chased down with six or seven hundred horsemen.

When Sun Ce and others broke through Yuan Tan's position, Zhu Huan also broke through Lu Qian's position. Zhu Huan led his troops and stormed Lu Qian's Chinese army. Not to be outdone, Lu Qian led his troops to meet the attack, and at the same time commanded his subordinates to outflank him, trying to kill Zhu Huan.
The cavalry that had been cruising around was gone, and the frightened county soldiers finally stabilized their minds and reorganized their formations, and the captains on the left and right wings moved forward with their respective headquarters, preparing to converge behind Zhu Huan and form an encirclement of Zhu Huan. After the front army was broken through by Zhu Huan and the Chinese army was damaged, LΓΌ Qian still had more than 7,000 people, more than twice as many as Zhu Huan, and it was more than enough to complete the encirclement.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Huan rushed to kill with all his might, and at the same time ordered someone to blow the horn for help, waved the banner of the double rabbit, and asked Guo Jia for help.
Guo Jia stood on the command platform, squinting his eyes, looking at the chaotic battlefield. He saw the approaching men and horses on the south side, the battle flag of Yuan Tanzhong's army camp moving, and the change of situation on the battlefield on the east side, showing a light smile.
"Send a signal to inform General Zhengdong to attack. Strike forward and join Captain Zhu. β
"Whoa." The soldiers responded loudly, shaking the battle flags in their hands. The drummer waved the drum pole and beat a huge cowhide drum. Dozens of knights rode out of the battle formation, divided into different directions, and rushed towards Sun Jian's camp.
"Kill-" Sun Yi raised his spear, let out a childish but murderous roar, kicked his horse and rushed out of the battle formation.
Two thousand guards followed closely behind and began to assault forward.
