Chapter 1018: Pressing Forward

When Zhu Huan launched an attack on Lü Qian's position, Yan Xing also launched an operation, moving from the west side of Yuan Tan's camp to the north side of the camp, and approached in front of Yuan Tan's camp. Seeing that the cavalry broke through to the front of the camp, the generals of each battalion of Yuan Tan's army strictly abided by Yuan Tan's orders, held out, and did not give Yan Xing a chance to assault. After the Battle of Xia Ting and the Battle of Fang He, no one dared to doubt the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under Sun Ce.

But they didn't know that whether it was the battle of Xia Ting or the battle of Fang He, these knights who were personally guarding and riding were actually not involved.

The soldiers in the battalion could be guarded by the battalion, but the communication between Lü Qian's troops and the Chinese army was cut off, and Lü Qian could not receive Yuan Tan's orders, nor could he send the latest battle situation to the Chinese army. Obviously less than ten miles away from the camp, he became a lone soldier. Although the war had just started and the winner had not yet been decided, Lu Qian was psychologically beaten first. Seeing the cavalry gathering and galloping in his rear and left flank, he had to transfer some of his crossbowmen and spearmen to reinforce them, so that the front position immediately became much thinner.

As soon as the two armies fought, reinforcements came from the other side, and their own side had to adjust their formation, which was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for those tired and hungry Yuan soldiers who were in shock. They didn't know what was going on, and no one could explain it to them, so they had to guess for themselves.

The morale of the soldiers of Yuan was once again frustrated.

On the contrary, seeing that Yan Xing rushed to reinforcements, the opponent's position was unstable, Zhu Huan's morale was like a rainbow, and the offensive of the Siqu soldiers was even more fierce. They quickly passed through the interception of the arrow array and began to attack Lu Qian's forward position. Two curves break through head-on, and two curves attack both wings.

There were 2,000 people in the front army, but they were pressed and beaten by 800 people, and the formation was crumbling. He had long known that there was a gap in the combat strength of the two sides, and he had made sufficient preparations, but in the face of the opponent's sharp offensive, he still fell behind. Looking at this situation, it was difficult for him to complete the task assigned by Yuan Tan. Not to mention eating Zhu Huanbu, whether he can be stopped is a question.

Seeing that the cavalry was intercepting, the herald could not reach the Chinese army camp, nor could he contact the troops who ambushed Sun Ce behind him, Lü Qian had no choice but to order someone to beat the war drum to warn and ask for help in the direction of the Chinese army.

At the moment when the drum for help sounded, Zhu Huan personally raised his sword and launched a fatal blow to Lu Qian's front army. His equipment in these three hundred parts is better, and his combat effectiveness is still above these Jiangdong disciples, and he quickly broke through the opponent's defense line.

After the three drums, Zhu Huan broke through the resistance of the front army, and then launched an attack on Lu Qian's Chinese army.

Guo Jia led 2,000 guards to press, pressing step by step.

Yan Xing led his guards to get closer and closer, eager to try, and some knights began to try to attack Lu Qian's position. They rode their horses at a gallop, rushed to the front of the formation, shot an arrow or two, and drifted away again. Their arrows were accurate and could hit every shot, but what made these Yuan soldiers even more nervous was the oppression brought by the galloping war horses. When the sound of the horse's hooves got closer and closer, and the body of the war horse became bigger and bigger, almost rushing in front of him, that sense of oppression formed a great deterrent to these foot soldiers, and every time it was a test of life and death, and it could be broken through at any time.

The captains and captains who commanded the battle were carrying swords and roaring back and forth in the formation to boost morale and stabilize the morale of the army. Their voices soon became hoarse, revealing unspeakable anxiety that only amplified panic.

Lü Qian was anxious, and ordered again and again to beat the drums of war and ask for help from the Chinese army.

——

Yuan Tan rushed to the camp on the north side, climbed the general's platform, and overlooked the battlefield.

He only saw the galloping figure of the cavalry, but he could not see Lu Qian's position. Ten miles away, he could only see a faint outline, Lu Qian's Jiangtai was like a black dot, he couldn't see the banner above, and he couldn't hear the sound of war drums.

Communication between them had been cut off by cavalry.

This is a little different from the situation they had deduced before. Sun Ce was trapped, but Zhu Huan did not rush to reinforcements as soon as possible, he arrived late, but it made Lu Qian worry all night, his morale was frustrated, and his physical exertion was greater than expected. Now he sent cavalry to cut off the communication between Lu Qian and the Chinese army camp, turning Lu Qian into a lone army, which did not look like breaking through Lu Qian's resistance and responding to Sun Ce, but like he wanted to eat Lu Qian's troops.

This made Yuan Tan have an indescribable weirdness. Did we really surround Sun Ce? Why does it look like Sun Ce has restrained our 10,000 elites and created an opportunity for Zhu Huan to fight back against Lu Qian?

The more Yuan Tan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, jumped on his horse, hurried back to the Chinese army, found Xin Bi, and expressed his concerns.

Simbi held his forehead, frowned, and groaned for a long time. "Does it make a difference? The 10,000 elites had already tightened the encirclement and were about to launch a strong attack on Sun Ce. Zhu Huan only had three or four thousand people, and even with these thousand cavalry, it would be difficult to quickly break through Lu Qian's blockade. As long as Sun Ce is killed, even if Lu Qian's army is wiped out, what does it matter? ”

Yuan Tan didn't know how to answer. He knew that Simbi was right, and judging from the comparison of troops, Simbi's plan was very safe. 10,000 elites, 6,000 strong crossbows are like Mount Tai pressing the top, and Sun Ce can't support it for long at all. After killing Sun Ce, it would not be difficult to go back and support Lu Qian again, and eat Zhu Huan's troops.

Yuan Tan thought about it. "George, I think Lu Qian is too dangerous, and he should send someone to reinforce him to make sure nothing goes wrong. Lu Qian is a usable person, and it would be a pity if it was folded here. ”

Xin Bi smiled, calmly. "Okay, then send another 10,000 reinforcements, but we have to go around behind Zhu Huan to ensure that Zhu Huan can't get out. Guo Jia should also be there, if you can catch him, it will be even better. ”

Yuan Tan frowned, and couldn't help but remind: "George, what you are competing with Guo Jia is wisdom, Sun Ce is defeated, you are the winner, it doesn't matter whether you catch Guo Jia or not." There are less than 30,000 people left in the Chinese army, and another 10,000 will be sent out of the camp, not only will all the Chinese troops be sent out, but also some former soldiers and horses will be transferred. If Sun Jian attacks, won't we be attacked on our backs? ”

Xin Bi raised his eyelids and glanced at Yuan Tan, a little embarrassed. He put away his smile and bowed in a bow. "The envoy is reasonable, but I am too anxious and forget the priority. Then so be it, let Li Gan lead 3,000 people to reinforce Lu Qian, force back the cavalry, strengthen the formation, stop Zhu Huan, and let him and Guo Jia watch Sun Ce be trapped to death. The envoy led his guards to besiege Sun Ce with 5,000 cavalry, leaving 20,000 people for Zhu Ling, which was enough to stop Sun Jian. ”

For a moment, Xin Bi wanted to ask Yuan Tan to give Cao Ang an order, asking him to go out of the camp to help and increase his chances of victory. But after thinking about it, the three battlefields, no matter which battlefield, have an absolute superiority in troops, and it seems that there is no need to give Cao Ang a chance to make meritorious contributions. The overall situation has been decided, it doesn't matter whether Cao Ang attacks or not, maybe Yuan Tan has already killed Sun Ce before the order is sent to the city.

Let Chen Gong watch from the wall and see how I kill Sun Ce.

Yuan Tan nodded, softened his color, and sent someone to Li Gan's camp to give orders.

When Li Gan received the order, he immediately led his troops out of the camp and rushed to the battlefield. Yuan Tan also rushed to Wan'an Pavilion with the personal guard battalion and personally commanded the battle to encircle and annihilate Sun Ce.
