When he saw the faint banner on the hillside in the distance, Sun Ce wanted to curse people desperately. He didn't expect to catch up with Cao Cao so quickly, and he didn't think about whether to save Yuan Shu, so he suddenly broke into the battlefield, and he didn't have time to retreat.

A strong sense of uneasiness welled up in my heart. It's less than fifty miles from Wancheng here, which is too close. If it wasn't that Cao Cao wanted to ambush the pursuers and delayed the time, it was that Cao Cao was very confident in himself, and he was not afraid even if there were pursuers, so he was not in a hurry, but advanced at a normal marching speed.

Of course, there is another possibility, this is the battlefield chosen by Cao Cao, the prepared trap.

Because the scouts had not been able to find the hundreds of missing cavalry, and there was no relevant news from the direction of Luyang and Yecheng, Sun Ce was worried that those cavalry were somewhere outside Wancheng. The reason why he did not attack the soldiers and horses of Yuan who attacked and defended the manor was probably because Cao Cao had more ambitions and was waiting for a more worthy target.

Like now.

If he and Cao Cao are fighting, and hundreds of cavalry suddenly rush out, even if he can fight again, no matter how fierce Dian Wei is, even if these righteous knights around him are well-trained elites, they will kneel.

Time is urgent, he wants to send scouts to reconnoiter but has no chance, it is a completely unfamiliar battlefield, and it is taboo for soldiers.

Seeing the battle flag in the distance, the string in Sun Ce's mind was more like someone plucked it violently, making the strongest sound, and all the distracting thoughts were forcibly driven out of his mind in an instant. The top priority is no longer a question of whether to save Yuan Shu, but whether he can save his own life, Cao Cao may want to kill him more than kill Yuan Shu.

This is a pit, I am the prey that Cao Cao wants, Yuan Shu is a bait at best. Alas, it can't be prevented.

Sun Ce's first reaction was to turn around and leave, and even reined in the war horse. But the moment the order to retreat came to his lips, he changed his mind by mistake. "Qin Mu, you take someone to stay here and prepare to respond."

"General, I'll go with you to save General Yuan."

"Shut up the fuck!" Sun Ce suddenly became furious, pulled out a thousand army breaks, and pointed at Qin Mu's face. "If you don't trust me, get out now, love what's the matter, I'm too lazy to care about you. If you trust me, listen to my commands, and don't be crooked. ”

Qin Mu was startled and didn't dare to squeak again.

Sun Ce said while thinking: "You arrange ten people, break some branches, tie them to the tail of the horse, and run back and forth here." ”

"General......" Qin Mu was puzzled, and just wanted to ask, when he saw that Sun Ce's eyes were wrong, he immediately closed his mouth again. You said. ”

Sun Ce looked left and right, and pointed to the official road on the west side. "Send ten more men over there, and do the same." He thought for a moment, and then added, "Arrange for twenty people to lie in front, and if there are scouts to check on the situation, be sure to kill them." ”

Qin Mu understood a little, and nodded again and again.

arranged suspicious soldiers who didn't know if it was useful, Sun Ce took Dian Wei and the others and galloped forward. The battle was imminent, and his originally messy state of mind was empty, and he didn't think about anything anymore, he just wanted how to engage in the battle. When he arrived at the slope, he saw Yuan Shu and others who were fighting hard among the rocks, and saw the foot soldiers who were coming, he turned over and dismounted, pulled out a thousand troops and assembled them, and ran towards the hillside.

Dian Wei and the others dismounted one after another, quickly assembled a thousand troops to break, and the light sound of the clatter sounded into one, like a brisk war song. The three hundred men divided into three roads, surrounded Sun Ce all the way, and went straight to the battlefield on the hillside, and the two roads were separated from both sides. Some of the knights brought by Qin Mu didn't need Sun Ce's orders, they were in groups of three or five, wandering around, looking for fighters.

Sun Ce picked up the long knife in both hands, took a deep breath, and a stream of hot blood surged up on his head. He shivered and shouted.

"Zigu, show Lao Tzu's battle flag."

"Whoa!" Dian Wei took the battle flag from the hands of the flag bearers, raised it high with one hand, and followed Sun Ce closely. Although the wind is not small, the big flag is blown and hunting, and the phoenix spreads its wings and wants to fly, but the flagpole is as stable as Mount Tai.

——

Yuan Shu was covered in blood, half-leaning on the boulder, gasping for air. After only half an hour of fighting, he was cornered, and there were only seven or eight of the more than a hundred knights left, and all of them were wounded. Cao Ren led dozens of people to besiege, if it weren't for the heavy corpses on the ground, if it weren't for the blood and muddy and slippery, maybe he would have broken through the weak defense line and beheaded him here.

It's over, it's over, it's really over this time. Don't be afraid, Yao'er, Naigong is here to accompany you.

"Look, look." One of the guards suddenly screamed, and pointed out into the distance. In his excitement, he lowered his shield, and a cold arrow flew at him, piercing his throat and cutting his ecstasy.

Yuan Shu stretched out his hand and snatched his shield, protected it in front of him, looked down the hillside, and saw the phoenix at a glance, and immediately ecstatic. "What's the matter, how is it, Naigong didn't say anything wrong, Sun Lang came to save Naigong." He stood up strongly, and the bloody long knife pointed directly at Cao Cao not far away. "Shorty, Sun Lang is here, you should die. If you want to kill Naigong, you are still a little tender. ”

Several guards beside him shouted when they heard this: "Sun Lang is here, Sun Lang is here." For a while, the morale was greatly boosted, and he fought back bravely, and repelled another attack by Cao Ren and others.

Cao Cao rode on the horse, looking into the distance, he knew who the enemy was as early as when Sun Ce and the others approached, he was not surprised in his heart, and chuckled: "Sun Lang, I finally waited for you." Killing you is much more interesting than killing Yuan Highway's stupidity. Zixiao! ”

"General." Cao Ren rushed over, raised his arm, and wiped the blood from his face.

"Just leave a few people around Yuan Shu, regroup, deal with Sun Ce, and kill him today to prevent future troubles."

"Whoa." Cao Ren pursed his lips and roared, summoned a war horse, turned on his horse, and rushed towards Sun Ce with dozens of knights. The war drums sounded, and more knights approached and gathered behind Cao Ren.

In the distance, Xiahoudun heard the sound of war drums on the hillside, and also ordered to speed up. The heralds waved the flags, the drummers beat the drums of war, and the majestic war valley echoed through the valley, stirring people's blood.

Facing the cavalry that was getting closer and closer, Sun Ce raised the thousand troops in his hand and raised his head to the sky and roared.

Dian Wei forcefully inserted the banner into the soil, clasped the thousand troops with both hands, and grabbed it in front of Sun Ce, crouching like a tiger, staring at the undulating horse's hooves with a pair of tiger eyes. When the knight who rushed ahead was only five steps away from him, he suddenly shouted: "A thousand troops! ”

One hundred guards stomped their feet and shouted: "Break! ”

"A thousand troops!" Dian Wei waved a thousand troops to break, swept out, and the cavalry who rushed to the front raised his sword and slashed, slashing at Dian Wei's heavy armor, splitting a gap, but it failed to have any impact on Dian Wei, but was collapsed so that his entire arm was numb. Before he could react, a bright knife light flashed in front of him, and even the man and the horse were cut in two, and the human corpse and the horse corpse flew out together, and the human blood and horse blood were splashed.

"Broken! Break! Break! "The righteous servants danced a thousand armies to break, followed Dian Wei to kill the knights, slashed and stabbed, and everywhere they went, people turned over on their backs.

In a matter of moments, several knights were killed, and all of them were dead.

Cao Ren was shocked, looking at Dian Wei who was about to rush in front of him, he couldn't avoid it, gritted his teeth, kicked the war horse fiercely, and bumped into Dian Wei, and at the same time raised his spear with both hands, and stabbed Dian Wei in the chest.
