Tearing through the defense with infantry and raiding with cavalry are common tactics for infantry coordination. Since it is cooperation, we must not only look at the combat effectiveness of the foot soldiers or cavalry, but also see whether they cooperate tacitly. Only if the foot pawn is strong enough to quickly tear through the defensive line, and the cavalry can seize the opportunity to break into the formation at the first time, can the impact of the cavalry be exerted to the maximum.

Without the protection of the formation, the foot soldiers who fought separately could not resist the impact of the cavalry, whether it was a spear or a sword slash, the condescending knight had a clear advantage, and even did not need the speed of the war horse at all, unless the war horse completely lost its speed and would lose its advantage.

The best way to deal with the cavalry impact is, of course, a strong bow and a crossbow, with shields and spears to protect it, which requires a formation, and the formation requires space and time. Jiang Qi was in the front formation, in front of him was the battlering position, there were people and ordnance everywhere, there was not enough space at all, the time to set up the formation was originally longer than usual, and Sun Ce's attack was very fast, leaving him far less time.

This is also the reason why Zhang Kai did not hesitate to use his life to block Chen Dao and Zhang Fei. Sun Ce broke through from his position, and he was obliged to buy Jiang Qi time to set up the formation. But he clearly overestimated his abilities. In front of Zhang Fei and Chen Zhi, the time he can fight for is really limited.

The two horses were staggered, Zhang Fei took the lead, and a spear swung open Zhang Kai's long knife, piercing Zhang Kai's body.

Zhang Kai flew up from the horse, flew out more than a dozen steps away like a cloud, and smashed on a knight's body, and the two fell to the ground together, and then were trampled on by the war horse, screaming and dying.

Zhang Fei struck a successful blow, he was full of spirit, he danced a spear with both hands, and rode several horses in one breath, breaking through the interception of Zhang Kai and the guards like the wind, and appeared fifty steps in front of Jiang Qi.

At this time, Jiang Qi's personal guard battalion had just arrived at the position, and they had not had time to line up.

Looking at the scattered infantry formation, Zhang Fei knew that the opportunity was rare, and he shouted: "Zhang Fei is here, who dares to fight?!" With a roar, the horse slashed in, stabbing the spear continuously, killing the two opponents who rushed up and tried to intercept them, and then shook the spear and lifted them one by one.

Zhang Fei's voice was very loud, and his combat effectiveness was also amazing, which suddenly shocked Jiang Qi's personal guard battalion. Many people felt a chill in their hearts, and their feet were unnaturally slowed down. Even Jiang Qi, who was fifty paces away, was taken aback by him, and asked left and right: "Who is this Zhang Fei, who is so brave?" ”

The guards scolded Qin Hong. "General, I know this person, he is Liu Bei's subordinate, and he just surrendered to Sun Ce with Liu Bei. must have come to kill the general and ask Sun Ce for credit. The border slut is the most shameless. ”

Jiang Qi also remembered that Liu Bei had two warriors by his side, one named Guan Yu and the other Zhang Fei. When I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation, but it was a pity that he became Sun Ce's subordinate, and if he wanted to break his own battle formation, he might have to take his own life. Watching Zhang Fei enter the horse, killing more than ten people in one breath, and rushing to the front of him for more than ten steps in the blink of an eye, he was a little panicked.

"Stop him!"

"Whoa!" The guards responded loudly to Qin Hong, rushed forward on horseback, and danced a spear to kill Zhang Fei. "Traitor, come and die!"

Zhang Fei looked up and was furious. followed Liu Bei to change the court several times, and the most taboo thing for him was to be called a traitor. He didn't say a word, kicked the war horse fiercely, caught up with Qin Hong, the two spears intersected, Zhang Fei knocked away Qin Hong's spear, and stabbed Qin Hong under the horse.

Although Chen Zhi and the others were not as powerful as Zhang Fei, their lethality was not weak at all, and they galloped on horseback and quickly approached Jiang Qi. Although Jiang Qi's personal guard knights charged at the cost of their lives, they still couldn't stop their assault, and watched them kill in front of Jiang Qi, and dozens of knights who rushed up fell one after another, suffering heavy casualties.

The situation is changing rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Qi is facing a life-and-death crisis. He wanted to hold on a little longer, but his guards didn't have the courage. If Jiang Qi died, according to military law, they would all have to be beheaded. Ignoring Jiang Qi's opposition, they snatched the reins from Jiang Qi's hand, turned around and ran. Thanks to their timely response, only a moment away, Zhang Fei killed in front of Jiang Qi, and a spear stabbed out, and the tip of the spear was only two feet away from Jiang Qi's heart.

The opportunity is fleeting. Seeing that Jiang Qi was in danger, the guards and knights rushed up desperately, swords and spears together, and beckoned to Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei kicked the war horse violently, maintaining his speed, and at the same time brandished his spear and stabbed left and right, killing several people one after another, but he couldn't keep up with Jiang Qi. Jiang Qi, under the protection of several knights, hurriedly went to the rear camp. Zhang Fei yelled angrily and rode his horse to chase after him, Chen Zhi rushed to his side and shouted: "Zhang Yide, keep the speed and chase in a roundabout way!" ”

Zhang Fei woke up, temporarily abandoned Jiang Qi, rushed forward side by side with Chen Zhi, quickly broke through the interception of Jiang Qi's personal guard camp, circled, accelerated his horse, and chased Jiang Qi again. Jiang Qi's personal guards were not many knights, most of them were killed in the formation, and the rest were mainly foot soldiers, although they tried their best to catch up, they couldn't keep up with the speed of Bai Yushi, and they were so anxious that they shouted.

"General go, general go!"

Hearing the shouts behind him and the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, Jiang Qi looked back and saw that Zhang Fei and the others had already killed through the formation, and they accelerated to chase after him, and couldn't help but sigh. I missed this opportunity by a fraction of a second, and I failed to seize this opportunity after all, the initiative has been lost, and defeat is inevitable. Now I can only hope that Yuan Tan can arrive in time and turn the tide.

"Beat the drums, raise the double rabbit flag, and ask for help!" Jiang Qi gave an order while galloping on his horse.

The drummer around him hurriedly beat the small drum, and the standard-bearer raised the double rabbit flag and asked for help from the rear army.

The war drums sounded, and Simbi, who was directing the people in the rear to prepare breakfast, turned his head and was shocked. He knew that there was a battle ahead, which was expected, but he didn't expect the winner to be separated so quickly, not only did the opponent's more than 100 horsemen burst into the formation, but he also chased Jiang Qi without even having a chance to turn around. How so? Are these cavalry so strong in combat, Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong may not be able to do it. Or was it Jiang Qi's command mistake and cowardice before fighting?

Simbi broke out in a cold sweat. While running towards the Chinese army and taking over Jiang Qi's command, he ordered someone to ask Yuan Tan for help. Jiang Qi's collapse was imminent, so he asked Yuan Tan to come to support as soon as possible to stabilize the situation.

The knight galloped away.

On the hillside, Sun Ce raised his eyebrows, raised his hand, blocked his forehead, and looked at the horizon.

Under the rising sun, there was a faint cloud of smoke and dust on the horizon. A knight rushed along the official road, bypassed Jiang Qi's position, ran to the bottom of the hillside, raised the colorful flag in his hand, and danced vigorously.

Sun Ce smiled: "Yuan Tan is here." ”

Liu Bei also stood up, squinted his eyes, looked into the distance, and then looked at Zhang Fei and the others who were chasing Jiang Qi everywhere. "General, since Yuan Tan has arrived, there is a huge disparity in troops, let's break through. Jiang Qi has been defeated by the general, and he is too busy to take care of himself, now is a good opportunity to break through, it will be too late to be late. ”

Sun Ce turned his head to look at Liu Bei and couldn't help laughing. "Is there only one thought in your head, always thinking about running away? Such a good opportunity, I waited for it in the middle of the night, and you let me break through? ”

Liu Bei's face was red, and he said curtly: "General...... Waiting for Yuan Tan? ”

Sun Ce said faintly: "In addition to Yuan Tan in Yanzhou at the moment, who else is worthy of being my opponent?" ”
