The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken.

The same is true with the use of soldiers. It is swift as the wind, and plunders as fire; Quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit, all say the same truth.

Sun Ce waited all night, patiently entangled with Jiang Qi, used small tactics to fight piecemeal, accumulated a lot, and killed more than 2,000 people successively, the results were indeed brilliant, but these could not determine the outcome of the battle, nor was it his final goal. All the means are to set the stage for the final blow and create opportunities.

Now, here's your chance.

In the middle of the night, with heavy casualties, Jiang Qi's generals were demoralized, and in order to boost morale, he had to leave the Chinese army and come to the front of the battle to inspect the position, less than 200 steps away from him. This was still outside the range of the six-stone crossbow, and Jiang Qi was very well protected, but it was still a rare opportunity.

It will be the courage of an army, and it is a well-deserved center of gravity, and when the general leaves the Chinese army, the center of gravity of the entire formation will move with it, and the changes that occur during it will unconsciously affect the entire battlefield. The two armies are facing each other, and once the Chinese army is established, it will not be easily changed, and even if the side has gained the advantage and launched an attack, the main general will rarely go into battle in person. And once there is an abnormality in the battle flag of the Chinese army, the morale of the whole army will be frustrated and even collapse.

Jiang Qi came to the front of the formation, like a warrior who was fighting for his life, suddenly stretched his head in front of the other party. Jiang Qi knew the stakes, so he did enough protection, and took all the most elite 1,000 guards with him to protect them closely, which could not be described as imprudent. However, the large number of people inevitably brings another drawback: slow action and long reaction time.

Sun Ce was waiting for this opportunity. At the sound of an order, the three closest guards launched a charge at the same time, and the strong crossbowmen who had been hidden in the formation launched an attack first, and hundreds of arrows left the string and went straight to the nearest Yuan army soldier at the foot of the mountain, concentrating a little. Although those soldiers of the Yuan army have been vigilant, and they have not even left the hillside, but the sudden attack still made them inevitably panic, just as the dozens of soldiers of the front were shot down by the dense rain of arrows, and they didn't even have time to scream, they fell to the ground and died, and the others were also shot so that they couldn't raise their heads, the sword and shield men subconsciously hid behind the shields, the spearmen instinctively squatted down, and the crossbowmen were a little hurried although they braved the rain of arrows to fight back.

In a matter of moments, there was a flaw in the defensive formation, and although there was no visible gap, it was no longer solid.

A song of guards rushed along the hillside, completing the change of formation as they ran, and with some of the bravest warriors as the front, they rushed to the front of the formation, blocking the shield in front of them, and slamming into it.

"Phew!" The shield collided with the shield, and the soldiers of the Yuan army fell to the ground, and the large shield that was one person high was knocked down, revealing a gap.

"Huh!" The long knife was swung and blood was splashed.

"Dangdang!" Swords and spears rang out, and the long knives swung at each other slashed through the spears, cutting off fingers, arms, and throats. The spear pierced the shield and pierced the body, but could not stop the warrior's onslaught, and the spear was knocked to the ground and killed.

Almost instantly, the first line of defense of Yuan's army was breached, and 200 men poured in like a flood, rapidly widening the gap, and spreading out to the two wings, killing the spearmen who had no time to turn around and the crossbowmen who had weak melee ability, slaughtering and poking as much as they could.

On the hillside, the crossbowmen rushed down the hillside, pressed to the front, and began the second round of fire, the arrows above the heads of the charging foot soldiers, and pointed straight at the second line of defense. As soon as their arrows entered the crowd, and the soldiers who were hit by the arrows had not even fallen to the ground, the foot soldiers on the left and right rushed in through the gap opened by the first song, and went straight to the second line of defense, slashing and killing.

Zhang Kai, who was briefing Jiang Qi beside him, watched the two lines of defense being breached, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't close it for a long time.

In the middle of the night with Sun Ce, he thought that he had understood Sun Ce's strength and was well prepared, seeing this scene, he knew that Sun Ce had not gone all out, at least before that, he did not send three song foot soldiers to attack at the same time, each time there was only one song, and he left with one blow. This time, the lethality of the three songs increased exponentially, and with the exquisite cooperation of the strong crossbowman, he broke through his two lines of defense with lightning speed, while the soldiers of the third line of defense were resting, and they had no time to react, and it was almost a sure thing to be broken.

But what is even more fatal is not the three wolf-like foot soldiers, but the knights who begin to accelerate along the hillside and gallop down. The target of these knights was none other than Jiang Qi. The task of those three-song foot soldiers is only to break the defense, and these knights are the real killer moves, and they are Sun Ce's fatal blow.

Zhang Kai was shrouded in fear and instinctively screamed. "General, danger!" As he shouted, he turned his horse's head and galloped away to the front of the battle. He drew his long knife and raised it high. "Guard, follow me and protect the general!"

Seeing this, the guards who stopped on the side turned their horses' heads and followed Zhang Kai to kill the white warriors who rushed down the hillside.

Jiang Qi gave the order to fight, but it was all instinct. When he saw the three curved foot soldiers unstoppably tearing through Zhang Kai's defense, more than a hundred knights galloped down the hillside and quickly approached him, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

The transformation of movement and stillness is like flowing water, and the coordination of various departments is wonderful to the peak, this is the real elite, this is the attack that moves like thunder.

Zhang Kai couldn't stop them, and his bravery could only buy him a short respite. Jiang Qi felt sorry for Zhang Kai and ordered the guard battalion to prepare for battle. Although he didn't expect Sun Ce's attack to be so swift, he made sufficient preparations, a thousand guards and cavalry were by his side, these people had not participated in the battle, their physical strength was sufficient, the establishment was complete, and their combat effectiveness was also the best in the whole army, and they could completely block the assault of these hundreds of cavalry.

As long as he blocked Sun Ce's assault, he could dispatch a large army to trap these people, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop, boosting the sluggish morale.

This was originally in his plan, and patrolling the camp before the battle was both a risk and an opportunity, depending on whether you were prepared or not, and whether you could seize this opportunity. Jiang Qi is very well prepared, and he also believes that he will definitely be able to seize this opportunity.

It is never an easy task to behead a general among the hosts.

Sun Ce saw Jiang Qi's response on the hillside. Looking at the foot soldiers who came from both wings and quickly lined up in front of Jiang Qi, he nodded with a bit of approval. Yuan Shao ordered this person to be a general and guard Liyang, and he still has some eyesight. In the face of danger, the dispatch is appropriate, and he deserves to be a good general. ”

Liu Bei also saw it clearly, but the focus of his attention was all on Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei charged with Chen Zhi, rushing to the front of the knight at this moment, and if he missed a little, he would die in the formation.

"Worried about Zhang Fei?" Sun Ce smiled. "Don't worry, although Jiang Qi's preparation is sufficient, he underestimated the impact of this hundred horses. It can be seen that he has little experience with cavalry. His personal guard battalion is indeed not weak, but it can't stop Zhang Fei and Chen Dao. ”
