The battle began with the steady advance of Cao Cao's army and the light cavalry led by Sun Ce from the left flank of Yuan Shu's army.

It's good to have civilian officials, and the state is naturally constantly brushed up, although it can't cover the whole army, but the key troops are well covered, and this extra harvest also boosts the morale of Cao Cao's army, even if there is no morale-related buff bonus, it becomes quite high, because they have enough support behind them.

However, there seems to be a similar light on Yuan Shujun's side, obviously Zhou Yu still has a hidden hand in the Snake Hill City behind him, but it should probably be similar to Cao Cao's thoughts, those civil officials probably will not be thrown into the battlefield lightly, after all, their bodies and bones are not only precious, but also very fragile, and it is still very difficult to cultivate.

Well, there shouldn't be much of a problem with bringing them into those fantasy novels of magicians and priests.

However, under this fluctuating light, the appearance of two rays of light is enough to attract the attention of some well-intentioned people - that is, the orange-red light rising from the two camps at the same time, maybe not too eye-catching in the colorful light, and even a little low-key, but it is undeniable that no matter how low-key it is, these two rays are destined to not escape the eyes of the world.

Especially Cao Cao and Sun Ce, General Han Lao and Zhou Yu, Zhang Fei and some people hiding in Snake Hill City......

Sun Ce's problem, Cao Cao had completely handed it over to Xiahoudun, Zhang Fei and Han Lao, and that kind of battlefield was obviously not where Cao Cao's resourcefulness could play a role, although it was not explicitly stipulated. But this kind of fighting is very taboo for some things after all...... Although in fact, in order to eliminate certain characters, it has never been common for black hands to fight black guns, but then it has to wait until the other party is exhausted, otherwise it will be like the earth-shattering arrow of a certain cosmic archer in the history of another plane, although it is said to hit the enemy hard, but because it failed to kill the enemy, the result is that the enemy who still has the body is berserk and takes away a set of counter-killing.

It is estimated that there should be few people who want to become the emperor of this kind of background and become a joke for the ages.

All in all, the matter of the war belongs to Cao Cao, and the matter of single-handing Sun Ce is still attributed to those fierce generals who are eager to try.

And as time goes by, the three fierce generals seem to be playing well. Although General Han still failed to take it, he can actually be regarded as a powerful version of Sun Ce. But it is obviously not good for Sun Ce to continue this stalemate.

But in any case, the humanoid nucleus missile that has played a role in turning the tide of the battle against Cao Cao's army many times. Sun Ce, sealed by the wheel war of the three, Cao Cao's initial strategic plan has been achieved. He can rest assured that he can be bold and solve Zhou Yu.

Cao Cao's left and right flanks advanced steadily in unison. And under the transfer of Zhou Yu. Yuan Shujun's right flank also began to advance slowly.

Doing so can put enough pressure on the enemy, just like when the head is cut off, the most terrifying thing is often not when the head is cut off. It's when the blade gets closer to your body. If the process is stretched to a length that gives both the body and the mind enough time to react, the fear will be unprecedented, like a prisoner scared to death by the sound of dripping water.

Of course, this is also a way to ensure that the body is in good shape, but it also takes into account the warm-up and adjusts the state to the best during the march.

The shrewd commander knew what the most important factor was in determining the war, so while there was still a considerable distance between the two sides, Cao Cao stepped out of the crowd, rode his beloved horse under his crotch and trotted all the way through the troops, and as he marched, he also gave a short but powerful speech, or more figuratively, a slogan for the final pre-war mobilization.

At the same time, several generals in Yuan Shujun, such as Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others, were also doing similar things.

These passionate voices continued to sound, one after another, and the valleys in the north and the rivers in the south reverberated with the battle intent that soared to the sky.

Finally, when the atmosphere reached its peak, the passionate Cao Cao army took the lead in letting out an earth-shattering battle cry, in which they were venting their emotions, eliminating the uneasiness in their hearts, increasing the fanaticism in their hearts, and intimidating their enemies.

They are proclaiming: They, here!

However, it was clear that Yuan Shu's army, composed of Sun Jian's old troops and the new army that had great admiration for Sun Ce, would not be intimidated by the threat of defeat from their men. In response, Yuan Shujun, who was not to be outdone, also broke out with a roar like a tsunami.

It seems that the roar of his own side echoes, whether it is Dalong Mountain, where the camp of Cao Cao's army is located, or the head of Snake Hill City, where the camp of Yuan Shu's army is located, the huge war drums rumble, and the powerful warriors of Kong Wu beat the most shocking notes with huge drumsticks, and at the same time, the soldiers who were infected by the drums all had red faces and eyes radiating blood-red light.

Although the war drums on both sides could not be compared to the war drums that Li Shushi used when he besieged Wancheng during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was enough for the soldiers to be inspired to forget their fears and plunge into the frenzied battlefield!

Cao Cao led the combined army to continue its steady advance, but there were pauses from time to time to keep the front intact and compact.

Although Cao Cao's army had a large number of cavalry units on both flanks, these cavalry units chose to hide behind the infantry or go far behind the flanks, and they had no desire to rush forward at the first time.

The northerners are good at riding horses, the southerners are good at boats, and in water battles, bows and arrows are the first, so the archers of Yuan Shujun's army generally have extremely outstanding abilities. The North, with the exception of a few areas, is incomparable in this respect. After all, even if it is a cavalry archery that the northerners are very good at, fundamentally speaking, the riding bow is lower than the infantry bow in terms of strength and range, but because of the blessing of horsepower and the characteristics of more mobile and flexible, it seems that the riding archery is more clever than the riding archery.

The metallurgical industry in the Central Plains is also quite developed, so all kinds of excellent arrow clusters and arrows are very rich, and the horses in the Central Plains belong to the low-profile horse breeds with good endurance and strong load but can not maintain high speed under high loads, so the Central Plains not only cannot develop the kind of heavy cavalry that appears in Europe or even the Mediterranean Near East, even if it develops, it will be because of the human race and horse breed. The most important thing is that it is covered by a powerful bow and fallen into a catastrophe.

The Battle of Agincourt was certainly a tactical victory, but it also proved that as long as the battlefield was suitable, it was difficult for even iron cans to perform satisfactorily under the attack of bows and arrows, let alone the light cavalry in the Central Plains.

Although the Battle of Jieqiao and the first dead soldiers of Koyi in the history of another plane were fanned by the wings of a certain butterfly, it was obviously impossible for a commander like Cao Cao not to think of this kind of problem, and the same was true of Zhou Yu opposite him.

Therefore, whether it was Cao Cao's personal guard Xuanjia cavalry, Xiahou Yuan or Cheng Pu's cavalry opposite, they were all hidden. Both sides had a tacit understanding that the infantry with leather shields was the lead, and slowly entered the range of the enemy's bows and arrows.

The first to strike was the strong bow crossbowmen from Taishan County, because the left flank of Cao Cao's army and the right flank of Yuan Shu's army were facing each other, so they could enter the range of each other more quickly. Comparatively speaking, the range of the bow and crossbow in the hands of the righteous servants from Taishan County was more than ten steps farther than the bows and arrows in the hands of the righteous servants from Shanyue in Jiangdong. And relatively free. Naturally, priority fire can be given.

But if the distance of the bow and crossbow is more than a hundred steps, except for a few marksmen such as Xiao Qiang, Tai Shici, and Huang Zhong, in fact, both the accuracy and the lethality have become relatively weak. And compared to firearms. More susceptible to external circumstances. Therefore, even within the effective killing radius, it is necessary to rely on the advantages of the group to make up for the disadvantage of accuracy.

Naturally, this kind of scattered attacks that were launched as soon as they entered the firing range could not cause any trouble to Yuan Shujun.

And in response. After a dozen steps, the Shanyue people also sent out sporadic counterattacks, but judging from the pace at which they began to get faster and faster, they preferred the more manly combat style of hand-to-hand ♂ combat on the battlefield to the use of bows and arrows.

It seemed that the right flank of Yuan Shu's army and the left flank of the combined army would soon be strangled together.

It's just that I don't know when it started, but Zhou Yu, who has returned to the commander of Yuan Shujun, frowned slightly.

For he had noticed that the cavalry, hidden behind the left flank infantry of the Combine, seemed to have received some order, and the whole force was divided in two, one of which seemed to be preparing to hasten some tactical intent, while the other half, as if having reached a position where they could make it easier to assault, seemed to be preparing for something.

Zhou Yu had to think carefully about the enemy's intentions, and this thinking even caused a slight delay in his command.

This gave the Combined Army, which had already broken through to the edge of the range of archers in front of Yuan Shu's left flank, still have a little more to organize their formation and prepare to start the final charge.

After some temptation just now, Cao Cao judged that the strongest long-range strike force in Yuan Shujun's army on the opposite side should be concentrated on the right flank of Yuan Shujun, that is, his own side, and Xiahou Yuan should also be aware of this, so he seems to be planning to start his mission without any scruples. It's just that as an ally who has cooperated with Sun Jianjun, Xiahou Yuan also knows very well that Sun Jian left Sun Ce a cavalry force that may not be large in scale, but the combat effectiveness is absolutely good, which makes Xiahou Yuan dare not invest all the cavalry in his hands.

The enemy adjusted the formation under his nose, but his own archers pretended to be deaf and dumb for some reason, which caused the dissatisfaction of Cai Yang, the general of Yuan Shujun, who commanded the light infantry troops behind the archers, and he ignored Huang Gai's obstruction, rushed to Sun He, the chief general of the archers and Sun Ce's brother, and asked Sun He to command the archers to strike at the enemy's vanguard.

Cai Yang was the general of Yuan Shujun, and Sun He was Sun Ce's relative and cronies, so naturally he would only carry out the orders of Zhou Yu, the acting commander appointed and granted by Sun Ce to Ling Jian, which naturally caused Cai Yang's dissatisfaction and even anger.

Even if it is still in the middle of the war, even if the troops of the combined army have been adjusted and continue to move forward, there is still a violent quarrel between the two people, and even if they are not stopped, maybe there will be an all-out military battle between the two.

Of course, this fight started more because of Cai Yang.

Not only because he ran to Sun He to shout regardless of his identity and status, but more importantly, with his identity, he was not qualified to order his colleagues at all, and in the face of Sun He, who ignored him at the beginning, he even planned to "teach a lesson" to the other party.

Maybe he still can't forget the time when he was a ranger who occupied more than two-thirds of his completed life, and he also can't forget the period when he called for wind and rain in the Central Plains. The crowd touted, and even the princes had to salute the day of three points.

Indeed, in the eyes of Cai Yang like that, Sun He in front of him is indeed nothing, and he may not even be worthy of lifting shoes for him.

But probably the most important thing is that he Cai Yang was personally hired by Lord Yuan Shu, and Sun He, who seemed to him to be just a "reluctant person" who climbed up by relying on Sun Jian's Yu Yin and Sun Ce's kinship, how could his status be equal? !

If it weren't for Zhou Yu's general order that came later, not only did he order Sun He to launch a covering shot according to the previous arrangement, but the other troops and generals would guard their posts. Violators of orders will be dealt with in accordance with military law. Maybe there will be more jokes about it.

Zhou Yu naturally knew about what happened before the battle, and he also knew that Sun He had actually suffered on his behalf, so he naturally went to Sun He, who belonged to his own family and suffered injustice, although he did not explicitly punish Cai Yang. But anyone with a discerning eye can see it. Unless Cai Yang plays an epic table in the next battle. Otherwise, he will definitely not be pleased.

Of course, even if Cai Yang really becomes the hero of this battle, considering that the "sword has no eyes" on the battlefield. Heroes or dead heroes are the greatest, and the enemy is so ferocious, it's only natural to break through all sorts of bad things with arrows.

This little episode came and went quickly, after all, the current battle situation was more important, especially for the generals of Sun Jiaban.

In the face of the menacing combined forces, under the orders of the generals at all levels of the archer troops, the archers arranged in front of the formation fired thousands of arrows, although the number was only 4,000 people, but what was presented was an extremely huge momentum.

Under Sun He's command, Yuan Shujun's arrows were so dense that a small number of them collided in the air, but this did not damage the combined forces caused great damage to the combined forces as the arrows fired by the archers at a high angle of 45 degrees.

Although the Combine soldiers are greatly improved in their defense against arrows because they are equipped with light and sturdy leather shields, in the face of such a dense and continuous "rain of arrows" attacks, even the Combine troops who have been blessed with various buffs are a little difficult to bear.

Not to mention that Zhou Yu also arranged a row of wooden fences in front of the archers that were not strong but could effectively delay the enemy's attack, so that the archers had enough time to attack or retreat, so that the combined forces on the opposite side could not take too much advantage.

Although the battle losses were rising rapidly, the combined army did not become flustered because of this, even if most of the reinforcements provided by Yuan Shao were newly recruited troops, perhaps only experienced training and some low-intensity bandit fighting, but they did not appear too flustered under the encouragement and intimidation of the generals, perhaps this was related to the fact that they were on the attacking side and had a certain psychological advantage.

Of course, it was more likely that the 1,000 law enforcement teams that followed them gave them great courage.

Because he determined the area where Yuan Shujun's archery group was located, Cao Cao stopped his Xuanjia cavalry and Yuan Shao's cavalry to the edge of the battlefield together, temporarily controlling the entire battle situation in the form of an order, and he was waiting for the opportunity to exert his strength.

In fact, he didn't have to wait long, there was a good opportunity almost delivered by the other party.

Yuan Shujun's archers only had five to six rounds of firing opportunities, and then the light infantry of the combined army rushed very close to them, and now Sun He had a choice, whether to retreat now or to retreat after another round of attack.

The former can naturally make their tactical moves more calm, while the latter, because of the distance, can have the greatest attack effect, of course, it will become a little hectic when retreating, but because of the wooden fence arranged in front of the battle in advance, even if it is the so-called busy, in fact, it is enough for Sun He to make a decision.

Thinking about it this way, it is actually easy to understand what choice Sun He will make.

The leather shields were still wielded, but most of the soldiers had leather shields covered with sharp arrows, making them a burden to sprint, but they could not be thrown away, or the recruits would have proven how stupid and fatal it was.

Even if there are civil officials in the rear to give a small amount of treatment, they will definitely not treat the kind of bear child who increases their burden!

The effect of close shooting is really good, even if an attack does not cause too much battle damage, but the cumulative amount of damage is extremely considerable, even if you can't see anything for the time being, but when the archers retreat, the light infantry behind them rushes forward. The accumulated damage would be the biggest defeat for the combined army's life, and this was another layer of consideration for Zhou Yu to place the archers in the danger zone in front of the battle, and judging from the current situation, Sun He performed this very well.

After that, the archers can naturally come behind the light infantry and inflict great damage on the enemy under the cover of the light infantry.

However, just when the archers were about to evacuate behind them according to the order, there was a problem that seemed small but very large-the other parts of the archers were rapidly retreating, but only the troops commanded by Cai Yang did not give up the passage for the archers to retreat as required by the general's order. Obviously, even at the height of the war, this ranger was still indulging his "chivalrousity".

Although the archers who failed to retreat were only a small part of the 4,000 archers legion, even this part was enough to cause local chaos and make the eyes of Li Dian and Yang Qun, who rushed to the front, light up.

With two men at the helm, the wooden fence didn't hold them back for long. They soon sliced through the archers in the midst of the chaos like hot knives slicing through butter. Let the souls of the archers who are confronting Cai Yang's troops scatter.

The generals found that they could no longer stop the panicked archers from fleeing in all directions, and this panicked escape not only disrupted the military formation that Cai Yang's headquarters had already lined up, but also intruded into the surrounding military formations, leaving a gap in the originally close connection.

Of course. Compared to the surrounding military formations. The impact of the archers on Cai Yang's department was undoubtedly the most violent. Because if it weren't for Cai Yang's order, they had already safely retreated behind the infantry and began to prepare to assemble and carry out the second wave of strikes.

Cai Yang broke off his life. Naturally, those archers would not be polite to him. At the same time, Li Dian and Yangqun's subordinates, who were carrying these defeated soldiers, naturally took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Cai Yang's subordinates, and the large troops that followed behind them continued to expand the rift that had been torn apart like a wither, and even rushed towards the archers who were regrouping behind the light infantry.

By the way, it was at this time that Yang Qun found Cai Yang and let the old ranger die a glorious death under his knife.

While making Cao Cao breathe a lot of evil, it also made Zhou Yu secretly curse the other party's "good luck".

Seeing that the enemy's left flank was in chaos because of an accident, Cao Cao was naturally in no mood to continue chatting with General Han, and noticed that the far end of Yuan Shujun's left flank was a little weak at this time, and immediately mobilized nearly two thousand cavalry troops in his hand. At this moment, Cao Cao showed his excellent art of battlefield command - under his personal command, the cavalry silently embellished the footsteps of the infantry charge, clinging to the infantry behind the infantry to the outside and leaving the edge of the battlefield once again.

Cao Cao informed Xu Ding and Yan Ming of his tactical intentions, although the personal abilities of these two men were not outstanding, Yan Ming had the energy to fight in the northwest, and Xu Ding also had some experience in leading cavalry battles in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The most important thing is that these two people will not be like Cai Yang, who started infighting before they could repel the enemy, allowing the enemy to take advantage.

Because of the confusion caused by Cai Yang, Zhou Yu once again failed to notice Cao Cao's actions, and when he found that the cavalry troops on the right flank of the combined army had disappeared from his vision, the only thing he could do was pray that some of his pre-war arrangements would do their due role - although Zhou Yu knew very well that praying was definitely not a good habit for the commander of the whole army.

The cavalry on the right flank of Cao Cao's army lay dormant, and this strange army was waiting patiently and expecting them to shine on the battlefield.

However, compared to the cavalry units on the right flank as surprise soldiers, the cavalry units on the left flank of the combined army stepped onto the battlefield stage before their robes, and it seemed that they had become an important weight in determining the outcome of the battle on this side.

Because of Xiahou Yuan's prudence, he only divided half of his strength to wander around the periphery of the enemy's army, and used his skillful riding and archery skills to inflict annoying but not devastating damage to the enemy, but it was undoubtedly a blow to morale. And because the cavalry moved more quickly, not only did the Shanyue people who were good at archery unable to give full play to their advantages, but they were also taken advantage of by the Taishan crossbowmen and even the light infantry of the combined army.

This is the time for Cheng Pu to decide. (To be continued......)
