26. Will vs. General, Shuai vs. Shuai (end)

Although the left and right flanks were fighting extremely lively, and it seemed that the outcome of the war was about to be revealed, both Cao Cao and Zhou Yu knew very well in their hearts that the outcome of this war was not determined by the large-scale army, but only between the four generals who were fighting happily, perhaps the top generals of this era.

Sun Cesheng will once again replicate what he did in the Battle of Chenliu, constantly destroying the enemy's chain of command in an almost assassin-like way, and plunging the enemy army into spatial chaos and fear, so as to bring Zhou Yu a lot of opportunities and opportunities to use to turn the tide of the battle at this time.

Xiahoudun, Zhang Fei and Han Lao generals won, so according to the battlefield situation at this time, not only will it be difficult for Yuan Shujun, who is at a disadvantage, to have a chance to turn the tables again, but even completely collapse because of the chain reaction caused by the fall of the undefeated overlord in their hearts.

As for a draw?

This is the most unlikely situation, because it has been proven that it is impossible to use crowd tactics to pile up Sun Ce, a strange monster that has never existed in the past, and the normal physiological phenomenon of detachment or physical incompetence has never been reflected in him. Even if he takes some relatively large damage, it doesn't seem to affect his combat ability, if people of this era know the legendary T series fighter people, they will definitely exclaim:

This girl is definitely not human! It should definitely be an undercover agent sent to the human world by the future machine!

Therefore, unless Sun Ce can be completely suppressed in a short period of time, Yuan Shujun can clearly feel the message that "Sun Ce is defeated". Otherwise, such a thing as fighting a protracted war will only tilt the balance of victory in Sun Ce's side.

It sounds like Sun Ce should be the more advantageous side, after all, as long as he wants to, he is already invincible, time is not his enemy but his comrades, if the wound is not fatal or cannot be healed in a short time, it will not pose much of a threat to him, and his enemy cannot be compared to him in either way.

That's how it should be.

However, Sun Ce seemed to be more and more impatient the more he fought, but the old general Han, who was supposed to fight quickly to prevent excessive physical consumption, did the opposite, and seemed to be just fighting with Sun Ce, and the spear flying up and down was more on defense.

It's really abnormal - the one who should be attacking is defending, and the one who should be delaying time is a bit desperate.

It does seem unusual. But think about it. It turns out that this is actually the case.

Because now the situation on the battlefield has become more and more unfavorable to Yuan Shujun's direction.

On the left flank of Yuan Shu's army, nearly 2,000 cavalry released by Cao Cao appeared on the edge of the battlefield, and their target was directly aimed at Chen Lanlei's division, which was ordered by Zhou Yu to penetrate the rear of Cao Cao's army, but only moved to the far end of the left flank and ceased to move.

If the flaw that appeared in the retreat of the archers before was caused by accident, then Chen Lan and Lei Bo's department were completely a pit dug by Zhou Yu for Cao Cao. And Cao Cao seemed to be stunned, so he crashed straight over.

But. Plans can't keep up with the rapid pace of change. When Zhou Yu found out that Cao Cao had indeed rushed to the trap he had set as he expected, he hesitated when he wanted to launch the trap, because he couldn't be sure if it would be beneficial to the development of the battle at this time!

According to Zhou Yu's original arrangement. At this point, the archers should have retreated safely, and then whether the enemy is targeting their center or their left flank, they will have to face a flanking attack of up to 12,000 light infantry, so that even if all the attacks should be borne by the left flank, there will be enough surplus troops to prevent the battle line from collapsing all at once.

Zhou Yu had a lot of shadows in the 6,000 light infantry on the left flank, including more than 300 strategists and 1,500 veterans of Sun Jian's army who were sub-professional archers. These strong firepower, coupled with the 3,000 archers, if they fired at the cavalry of Cao Cao's army attacking the "weak" part of the left flank, the "heavy fist" of Cao Cao's right flank could be paralyzed.

Even if there are still 3,000 halberds, Zhou Yu can rest assured that the elite of the Chinese army left by Sun Ce will be put into battle.

This is also the origin of the defensive counter-attack style of the left front.

It was only because of Cai Yang's recklessness and arrogance that Li Dian seized the opportunity to give up the attack on the front army of Yuan Shujun, and instead inserted the panicked archers into the left flank of Yuan Shujun's front line, which not only caused a certain amount of confusion among the light infantry troops on the left flank, but even chiseled through the formation of the light infantry and attacked the archers who retreated to the rear.

This kind of change made the entire left flank become fragmented, although the front army's flanking and covering killed the combined army that was somewhat disjointed between the various units suffered some losses, but it also made Zhou Yu's previous arrangement almost come to naught - except for those civilian troops who were protected and disguised as ordinary light infantry, those light infantry who were sub-professional archers had already been called by the enemy, if they were allowed to open their bows and arrows at this time, it would be tantamount to sending their backs to the hands of the combined army, and the result could be said to be self-evident.

Not to mention that the archers, who were the main force of the attack, were not only eaten in one piece, but were also being attacked and strangled together. Even if Zhou Yu had the intention to dispatch the elite guards of the Chinese army, he was powerless, but he had to worry about whether these valuable troops would also be swept into this flesh and blood mill and waste this strong force.

The crisis of the left wing has reached the critical moment when Zhou Yu has to make a decision immediately, but Zhou Yu's mind is still a lot involved in the battle situation of the right wing, because if the left wing was originally just a little chaotic, even if it is about to suffer a fatal blow, it is still only unresolved and unresolved, then the right wing of Yuan Shujun is defeated from the current situation.

The Shanyue people are indeed brave, in the land of Yangzhou, they are a group of people who can make every official who comes to Yangzhou, whether it is the state, county or county level, feel a headache, the Shanyue people with their backs to the mountains south of the Yangtze River can always attack in places you don't expect, and then flee before you can react. And if you're going to go into the mountains to fight - well, inside the home of the Shanyue people. You will find that even the landscapes, trees, flowers and plants around you have become your enemies.

Therefore, the Danyang soldiers, who have been fighting against the Shanyue people for a long time, have become a famous force in the world.

But it was on the land of Yangzhou, on the terrain where Shanyue people had lived for generations.

But if they leave their homeland, leave the mountains and rivers they are familiar with, and come to the endless plains, can they still have their original combat strength?

Maybe there are still some, at least the Danyang soldiers who Tao Qian cited as the guard can be said to have made great achievements for him to stabilize the situation in Xuzhou.

But what are those Danyang soldiers' opponents like?

There are unclothed rebels, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army roaring up, the religious regiments that are not afraid of death formed by spreading the evil cult to make the soldiers take spiritual drugs, the water thieves and pirates who came from the islands of the East China Sea, and the bandits who came out of the mountains of Taishan County. There will also be private soldiers raised by the Xuzhou family.

These enemies all seem to have a common characteristic. That is, there was an extreme lack of cavalry in their troops.

In other words, almost all of the glory of Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers was obtained in battles with the infantry, but their ability to resist the cavalry was not tested in actual combat. However, judging from the fact that the Danyang soldiers commanded by Xu Tan did not dare to open a battle with Liu Bei in the field to have a vigorous battle, I am afraid that Xu Tan is still a little weak in his heart.

This is certainly not to say that the Yue people are not good at cavalry. On the contrary, because the people who cross the land are nimble with their hands and feet. After training, they were not inferior to the northerners in their skills in charging and shooting on horseback. Even in saddleless conditions, the dexterous Yue Ren watch xiàn is even better.

Just like the personal entourage of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu who once shined in the Chu-Han War, the cavalry that dominated the world at the end of Qin was composed of the people of Chu and Yue. And the demeanor of this army does not need to be detailed.

But there is a prerequisite for this qiē, that is, there need to be horses to train and meat to improve the body. If these conditions are not met, it will become as the history books say, "the Yue people are thin and weak, they cannot fight on land, and they have no use for riding chariots and crossbows."

Not to mention the Han Dynasty's official system of military horses, just saying that the good horses from the north were trafficked to the south and their value soared, which is definitely not something that even a small rich family can afford. Moreover, the people of Shanyue were already poor, and coupled with the oppression of some unscrupulous officials, they could only rely on hiding in the mountains and forests to fight guerrillas, and occasionally go out to loot to survive. Even though he has practiced a good ability to trek through mountains and rivers without missing arrows, for cavalry, it can be called "only knowing that pigs run, but not tasting pork".

Such a Shanyue Yicong, in the face of the elite cavalry sent by Xiahou Yuan, although the number of Xiahou Yuan's cavalry is only half of that of Shanyue Yicong, but there is no need to even charge and kill, just cooperate with his own infantry to gradually wear down the fighting spirit of those Shanyue Yicong with bows and arrows in the distance, which is enough to make Shanyue Yicong, who had no intention of really working for Yuan Shu but just wanted to make extra money, collapse.

And the cavalry unit in Cheng Pu's hand, which Zhou Yu regarded as the hole card of the right-wing troops, could only compete with the other half of the cavalry troops left by Xiahou Yuan, and it seemed that neither side could help anyone. However, because Xiahou Yuan had more cavalry than Cheng Pu after all, and Cheng Pu's force could not suppress Xiahou Yuan to turn the tide of the battle like Sun Ce.

In the end, in order to be able to protect this army, which was of great significance to Sun Ce's future campaign, would not be wasted here, Cheng Pu had to order his cavalry troops to slowly withdraw from the battlefield after losing more than 100 cavalry, and threw Shan Yue Yoshicong's back to the combined army.

Although Yuan Shu had promised that as long as he won this battle against Cao Cao's army, he would let Sun Ce fly alone, but if he fought for his life for Yuan Shu, a guy who didn't pay much attention to Cigna and had become more and more capricious recently, it would not be a cost-effective thing to do for this illusory promise.

If they fight for their lives and win the war at that time, but Yuan Shu finally turns his face and denies people, how should they deal with it?

Turn your face, your subordinates are all gone.

Don't turn your face, you will feel bad luck if you continue to stay.

This is still the premise that Cheng Pu doesn't know the matter between Cai Yang and Sun He, if he knows about this matter, he is afraid that he will be even more angry, and he will be able to determine his judgment, and at the same time, he can better understand what Sun Ce's status in Yuan Shu's heart is.

After all, no matter how arrogant Cai Yang is, if Sun Ce is really a celebrity around Yuan Shu. Give him ten dares, I am afraid that he will not make such a reckless move, but he should follow Sun Ce's side closely, not to mention that he has to work hard to win fame.

Sun Ce may be young and energetic, Zhou Yu may be very smart, these Cheng Pu are far from it, but as an elder who has gone from north to south and experienced too many rights and wrongs, Cheng Pu has the wisdom and cunning that belongs to the experience of the elderly.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Zhou Yu dared to entrust him with an important army at hand, and it was precisely after judging the situation that he chose a decision that seemed a little despicable but was in the interests of Sun Ce.

Whether it is Sun Jian or Sun Ce, they are not of the same mind as Yuan Shu. Never. Vice versa.

As for what kind of catastrophe will be suffered by Shanyue Yi, who is at the forefront, after the cavalry withdraws, it is no longer within the scope of Cheng Pu's thinking, and at most he will send someone to tell Zhou Yu that joining Sun Ce will not be able to win in a short time. Not only will the cavalry not turn back and fight again. Even those old troops belonging to Sun Jian's army will begin to slowly withdraw from the battlefield.

He has that power. Although Sun Ce didn't say it explicitly, Zhou Yu gave him this power in private, and the same power. Huang Gai on the left also has it in his hands, which shows that Zhou Yu's heart actually doesn't have much trust in Yuan Shu.

However, this qiē obviously didn't say anything to Sun Ceming, after all, these old foxes and little foxes were very worried about whether the Sun family would do something because of the favor of the illusory little lady of the Yuan family, after all, young people.

No, it was probably because Sun Ce, who was kept in the dark, saw that the situation on the battlefield was becoming more and more unfavorable to his side, his mood became more and more impatient, and the movements in his hands became more and more scattered due to the influence of his mentality.

Doesn't it mean that time is its ally? Why is the old guy on the other side actually fighting more and more fiercely, and he is just the opposite!

"It's amazing, it's really amazing, I don't know if Mr. Tong from Bingzhou can be so powerful!"

The authorities may still feel confused because they are in the situation, but Xiahoudun, who is sweeping the formation, can see it clearly.

Although there is no Taijiquan Taijijian or anything in these years, it is a long time later, but the idea of borrowing strength to fight is not completely absent, and this is a very advanced skill, without a certain number of years of honing martial arts, it is absolutely impossible to use such a high-level skill, because it requires hand-eye cooperation and personal experience.

And what General Han Lao used at this time was such a high-level technique.

Of course, although Xiahoudun subconsciously compared Old General Han with Tong Yuan, who had also pointed him out, but because he had never been able to see Old Man Tong's true skills, after all, Xiahoudun's ability could not force Old Man Tong to learn all of his true talents, so there were eight points in his tone of voice that were doubtful and unconvinced.

It is said that although this Xiahou Yuanrang is a natural nerd, and he may also turn into a bear child when his head is short-circuited, this guy has a big advantage, that is, he absolutely respects the teacher who has helped him. When he was young, he once killed someone with a knife because someone insulted his master, although he was almost planted in it and was once wanted by the government, but he never regretted it.

Although Old Man Tong and Xiahoudun did not have the status of master and apprentice, they also gave Xiahoudun a lot of guidance and inspiration, so even if he felt that Old General Han, who could fight with the violent Sun Ce more and more easily off the field, was extraordinary, he still subconsciously preferred Old Man Tong in his heart.

"That's true, it's amazing. But why is it that such a powerful person didn't have a good reputation before, and he was famous for his sword skills, but his marksmanship was obviously far better than when he held a knife. It's so weird......"

Zhang Fei on the other side was also shaking his head, his face full of doubts. It's just that unlike Xiahoudun, Zhang Fei was born in Youzhou in the north after all, and he likes to make friends with heroes in the rivers and lakes, and he also knows some things about this old general Han.

However, it is precisely because of his understanding that he feels even more strange - it is clear that this old general named Han Xiang was a very famous swordsman when he was young, although his reputation is not very loud, but as the old general said to Cao Cao, whether it is Cai Yang or Yang Qun and many other people, they have visited him and received some guidance from him. Therefore, as an old man of the same era as Tong Yuan, even if his reputation in martial arts is not very good. But the connections are top-notch.

But who would have thought that this old man, who had been a swordsman for most of his life, now gave up swords and guns, but his skills have increased greatly.

"It's not simple, probably because of what reason I can't use a gun, so I have to change it to a knife, and now I find that Sun Ce is not easy to deal with, so naturally I have to use the best skills. But this trick, oh, Mr. Tong once said this trick......"

Xiahoudun was completely immersed in the battle between the two people, and the so-called answer was just a follow-up statement.

"You can't use a gun. Only use a knife. You can't use a gun. Only use a knife. You can't use a gun, you can only use a knife......"

It's just that the listener is intentional, Zhang Fei seems to have grasped something, but he can't remember it for a while.

After a long time......

"Yuan Rang. I know why General Han used a knife instead of a gun! ”

Although Zhang Fei was pulled out of his understanding of the wonderful competition in this way, he was very dissatisfied. But gossip is still quite fascinating. And Zhang Fei later explained to him that this matter seemed to have something to do with the old man Tong who had instructed him.

"That's a secret story I heard from a friend in the rivers and lakes. It is said that there was a young man in the party back then, and a spear was superb. created a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, so he called himself the 'King of Guns' under the praise of his colleagues in the rivers and lakes......"

"No, isn't the name of 'Gun King' Mr. Tong's? Mr. Tong didn't come to the party, right? ”

"That's right, this young man is naturally not Mr. Tong. So when he heard that Mr. Tong was also called the 'King of Guns', he was very angry, and he wanted to go to Mr. Tong to try to see who was more suitable for the name of 'King of Guns'.

Mr. Tong naturally doesn't care about this kind of false name, and even says that it doesn't hurt to give the name of 'King of Guns' to young people. But young people are very proud, and they always have to try to completely overwhelm Mr. Tong before it is over.

It is said that not many people were able to see this battle back then, and until now, except for the two parties involved, the people who watched the battle have passed away for various reasons, so the outcome of this battle is still a mystery until the end. However, the only thing that is certain is that since this battle, young people have given up the title of 'gun king', and even put down their guns and disappeared without a trace. ”

"So you're saying he's the disappeared young man in the story?"

Xiahoudun is a natural fool, but he is not stupid to the point of home, and he can always hear Zhang Fei's meaning when the story is told about this kind of Cheng dù.

"All I can say is that there was no more to this story at the time, but combined with the strange phenomena I saw today, in the words of one guy, 'Excluding the possibility of a qiē, the most unlikely possibility can only be the truth of the matter.'"

"I've never heard that, but I can guess who said it, and only he can say such strange things."

And just when the two of them could chat more easily, finally, General Han, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly burst out, and the spear in his hand continued to tremble slightly, and under the influence of this tremor, the spear in the hand locked by General Han actually had a feeling that he couldn't hold it, which made Sun Ce both shocked and angry, but he couldn't think of a way, so he could only use brute force to resist.

But at this moment, a roar full of excitement from the United Army sounded in his ears, and the excitement contained in that roar made Sun Ce know the general situation of the battlefield even if he didn't pay attention to the battle situation.

Obviously, this time the battle, he lost.

He was almost invincible on the battlefield, but he was defeated.

With his mind lost, Sun Ce's spear finally got out of his hand, although the spear was stuck straight into the land not far from Sun Ce, but this short distance was a short distance for Sun Ce. Not only did General Han keep an eye on him, but even Xiahoudun and Zhang Fei surrounded him again, confronting Sun Ce's personal guards who had rushed over when they found that the situation was wrong.

Yuan Shu's army began to retreat slowly, and Zhou Yu's Chinese army also called for Sun Ce's return in a golden way.

"What's your name, old fellow. Sun Bofu is not good at learning, and he has been defeated today, and I hope that I will have the opportunity to ask for advice again in the future! ”

"Ahem, what a young man who doesn't admit defeat, I don't know if there will be a chance to fight with a young man like you again in the future. Remember, the old man, Han Juzi, the minister of Hebei and South Korea, is a swordsman who failed to keep his oath! ”

Although the old general who defeated him with the spear in his hand emphasized that he was a swordsman, but Sun Ce nodded very seriously, indicating that he understood. After that, he once again took a deep look at the three generals who had fought with him so far, as if he wanted to remember the voices and smiles of the three of them, and then finally showed a little unwilling expression, and turned around and galloped away under the escort of the guards.

As for the spear that was still stuck in the ground, although the body of the spear was still straight, it had become a trophy of others.

And just when everyone thought that the general situation was set, a rather large force suddenly appeared on the edge of the battlefield.
