Chapter 156: Deterrence
Zhao Yun watched Zhang Fei return to his formation, with no intention of pursuing, although he was riding a horse now, and Zhang Fei's war horse had turned into a blood mist.
"Zhang Yide, a good opponent!"
Zhao Yun said secretly in his heart.
But the real battle is only beginning now. Zhao Yun also returned to his army on horseback.
"Zilong, you broke through!"
Sun Ce said excitedly. The battle just now was too exciting, especially the last confrontation, just looking at Sun Ce from a distance made me feel palpitations. Whether it was Zhao Yun's counterattack after breaking through at the critical moment, or Zhang Fei's crazy moves, Sun Ce felt his blood boiling.
Can't go on like this anymore! I must break through to the first-class generals as soon as possible. Sun Ce said secretly in his heart.
Zhao Yun adjusted his state a little and nodded a little tiredly. Then he looked solemnly at Zhang Fei, who had returned to Liu Bei's army: "Bo Fu, the real battle is only about to start now." You have to be careful! ”
Sun Ce nodded solemnly and said excitedly: "Zilong, I am not as good as you in the single competition of force." But when it comes to leading troops into battle, I'm no less than you! ”
Cavalry was the existence of overlords on the ancient battlefield, and their powerful impact force allowed them to play very exaggerated results in some cases, defeating the strong with the weak.
Although this battlefield is not a plain, the terrain is quite flat, otherwise Zhou Yu would not have taken this road.
Penetrating deep into the hinterland of Runan, Zhou Yu was very cautious in his choice of route, avoiding all terrain that was easy to ambush or unfavorable to cavalry.
After all, Yuan Shu didn't give them any specific orders this time, and Zhou Yu's goal this time was to attract Liu Bei's attention and weaken the other party, and he didn't choose a target to attack at all, so he could wander around at will.
Seeing Zhang Fei's army attacking, Zhou Yu's eyes flashed, and his spirit instantly hooked up with the four generals.
"Zhao Yun and Sun Ce, the two of you lead the army to charge in a cone formation, one left and one right from the flank into the enemy's central army, be sure to cut the opponent's army and disrupt the enemy's formation."
"Yu Ban, you lead your soldiers to meet the opponent's Chinese army in a circular formation. Remember, be sure to maintain the formation and condense the cloud qi to prevent Zhang Fei's cloud qi from attacking. Try your best to prevent the opponent's attack first, and then launch a counterattack after Zhao Yun and Sun Ce succeed. ”
"Ling Cao, you lead the army to follow the ban, don't join the battle for the time being, just support with bows and arrows. Enemy reinforcements could arrive at any time, so be prepared. ”
"No!"
The crowd replied.
In a war, in addition to the number and elite of the soldiers and the bravery of the generals, the coordination between the formations and the arms is also very important.
There were only 20,000 soldiers under Zhou Yu's command, and he couldn't lay out any too subtle tactics, so he simply divided them into four, giving full play to the specialties of each branch of the army, and letting them fight separately.
Zhang Fei also had 1,000 cavalry under his command, and he was listed as his own soldiers. After all, Liu Bei has no family background, even if he is suddenly rich now, but the world is in chaos, and war horses cannot be bought with money.
Liu Bei temporarily had 7,000 cavalry, leaving 5,000 to form a small cavalry army, and the remaining 2,000 Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were 1,000 each. Otherwise, Zhang Fei would not have been so greedy for the cavalry under Zhou Yu's command.
At the first moment of the confrontation between the two armies, the cavalry under the command of Sun Ce and Zhao Yun entered Zhang Fei's army with a devastating force.
In the case of such a charge, one cavalry can at least be worth two or three infantry, and that kind of overwhelming momentum is not covered.
Under the leadership of the two arrows, Zhao Yun and Sun Ce, the two cavalry shot into Zhang Fei's Chinese army like sharp arrows.
In comparison, Sun Ce's speed was even faster, relying on his powerful strength, his killing speed was no less than Zhao Yun's.
Zhang Fei soon discovered that the situation was not good, after all, the soldiers under his command were all new soldiers, and it was okay to fight a good battle, but they were a little pale in the face of this situation.
The Chinese army on the other side has not yet rushed up, and his side is already about to be broken into the Chinese army by the opponent's cavalry. Now it is too late to fight back at the encirclement and suppression of the cavalry, which is tantamount to allowing the Chinese army of the opposing side to carry out the slaughter.
The situation was urgent, Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Deterrence! ”
A terrifying aura enveloped the battlefield, making everyone's hearts tremble.
Then I saw Zhang Fei's soldiers, who were fleeing in a panic, roared one after another, and mustered up the courage to kill Zhao Yun and Sun Ce's cavalry. On the other hand, the cavalry under the command of Zhao Yun and Sun Ce was indeed stagnant, and the originally fierce attack was a little sluggish.
This is Zhang Fei's legion talent, deterrence.
The fighting spirit and courage of the enemy soldiers present were weakened by half, which weakened their combat power. At the same time, it will also turn the fear in the hearts of its own soldiers into the courage to attack, so that they will not break apart.
The cavalry of Zhao Yun and Sun Ce, who were originally unstoppable, suddenly slowed down, and were gradually surrounded by Zhang Fei's soldiers.
A trace of anxiety flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, it can't go on like this! Is a cavalry that has lost its shock and flexibility still a cavalry? If he is really surrounded by the other side, the cavalry under his command can basically only be used as infantry.
Zhao Yun had just broken through to the super-first-class generals, and he faintly felt his legion talent, although he didn't know what the effect was, but when he encountered this situation, he could only treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
The cloud qi of the cavalry under his command condensed, and a white dragon phantom leaped up from Zhao Yun's body, shuttling through the clouds.
"Condensation!"
In an instant, all the soldiers under Zhao Yun's command fell into a state of absolute calm. The original fierce momentum was gone, replaced by a silent and solemn aura.
All the soldiers seemed to ignore everything around them, and only the soldiers who attacked them in their eyes were the spears in their hands, and they knocked down these attacks one by one, stabbing the enemy soldiers to death along the way.
The soldiers under Zhao Yun's command were like hanging up, and the enemy troops that were originally scattered around instantly shrank to the few people who attacked him. And the reaction speed skyrocketed instantly, and he was able to block these attacks with ease.
Like a pack of war machines, these cavalry once again returned to their previous invincible state.
On the other hand, Sun Ce was not so easy with Zhao Yun. Without the talent of the Awakening Legion, he is now deeply trapped in the army under Zhang Fei's command and is completely unable to move.
Several lieutenants and partial generals under Zhang Fei also entangled Sun Ce, even if Sun Ce stabbed one or two to death under the outburst, he was still firmly trapped and couldn't get out at all.
When Zhao Yun saw this scene, he understood that Sun Ce was in danger, so he hurriedly gave up the opponent's Chinese army and rushed in the direction of Sun Ce.
Zhang Fei also understood Zhao Yun's awesomeness, and hurriedly deterred all the soldiers to fight desperately to resist Zhao Yun and besiege Sun Ce, bent on preventing Zhao Yun from rescuing Sun Ce, and wanted to destroy Sun Ce's cavalry first and cut off one of his arms.
