Chapter 1283: Encounter

"Kill!!"

Facing the Jingzhou reinforcements waiting in front, Sun Ce was a little stunned. But at this moment, the morale of his subordinates is like a rainbow, and it is a good opportunity to take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results. Sun Ce, who has always been arrogant, did not stop for a minute, but wanted to use this momentum to completely destroy the fighting spirit of Jingzhou's soldiers.

Unfortunately, this time, he was wrong. And, it couldn't be more wrong.

The army in front of him was not at all like the army he usually saw. In the face of the overwhelming charge of 3,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry, their tightly organized military formation did not show any signs of loosening. Even, it can be seen that some generals on horseback mixed in the military formation also waved to him slightly, and the meaning of provocation is self-evident.

Sun Ce was suddenly burned by the monstrous rage, and he roared forward, vowing to take down those who dared to provoke his Jiangdong Tiger and Tiger Beard. However, when he was about three hundred paces away from the enemy, his hot body seemed to be violently extinguished by cold waterβ€”behind the tight shield, countless cold arrows shone!

"Impossible, right?" Sun Ce was a little suspicious, there were still a lot of Jingzhou defeated soldiers in front of him, could it be that these people wanted to shoot their robes and kill them all together?!

But as soon as this thought arose, the ruthless reality crushed the luck in Sun Ce's heart. The arrows in the phalanx rained down, and with the sharp sound of the wind, they fell fiercely on the path of their own army's advance! The overwhelming flying arrows almost covered the sun in the sky, and Sun Ce only felt that the clear sky was dimming for a moment. The only thought in my heart is: Is this Jingzhou army crazy? How many arrows are wasted like this?!

But the reality was too late for Sun Ce to think carefully, and instead of retreating, he rushed towards the phalanx. Because he knows that the arrows that are shot like this can only be avoided by moving forward, and there is only a dead end when retreating!

Fortunately, the Knight of Koto behind him also knew this. Maybe they don't know, but they believe Sun Ce, they are all veterans who have been fighting with Sun Ce for many years, and they have a mythical superstition about Sun Ce's invincibility. They are strong-willed, ruthless, and don't care about life and death, their own, and other people's. The only thing I care about is the figure of the lord in front of me.

Unfortunately, this time their will did not sublimate their bodies, and the frenzied rain of arrows fell in an instant, and many of the galloping cavalry rolled off their horses with at least three or more crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies, and then they were trampled into a puddle of flesh by the cavalry that followed. After a rain of arrows, Sun Ce, who stopped fluctuating the spear in his hand, suddenly looked back, and couldn't believe his eyes!

Of the 3,000 knights who followed him closely, less than 2,000 could keep up, and there were only a few dozen people left around him! The first round of arrow rain of the army in front of it was completely concentrated, and almost with the death of the bow and arrow, the three thousand cavalry were cut into two sections! Sun Ce had never seen such an accurate dense crossbow bolt kill - this was not at all different from the Jingzhou army in his impression!

He instantly thought that although he fired at least 5,000 crossbow arrows at once this time, the result of achieving no less than 1,000 people was not a waste of indiscriminate use of arrows, but a plundering of a global tactical opportunity! The cavalry charge has always been the sharpness of the battle, but after this round of arrow rain, the infantry in the rear must be frightened, and will at least pause the charge for half a moment. But if the offensive on the battlefield is delayed, it will bring completely unpredictable consequences!

5,000 arrows in exchange for a morale reversal, such a tactic is subtle, and it takes years of killing and condensation to obtain! - The army in front is by no means an ordinary reinforcement, it is likely to be the elite of Ma Chao, the king of Yong, or Cao Cao, the king of Wei!

"Whoever is ahead, report the name quickly!" Sun Ce raised his spear and roared, and his agitated body immediately brought the bravery of the Jiangdong disciples behind him.

But Ma Chao was unmoved, staring at the situation on the field, and continued to order coldly: "The first two columns in front of you have changed their guns, see if Sun Ce dares to step forward!" ”

Seeing that no one responded, and the rain of arrows continued to shoot, Sun Ce felt a kind of insult that was despised. He turned his head abruptly and shouted at the dozens of guards around him: "Do you dare to charge with me?!" ”

"Why don't you dare!" Dozens of guards replied angrily.

Sun Ce laughed proudly, and the horse stepped forward again, but when he saw that he was only fifty steps away from the phalanx, his eyes suddenly cracked: a more powerful throwing spear suddenly flew in front of him! What's more, what's even more shameless is that the soldiers at the front also untied the thistle terrestris from their waists and threw them in front of the horse pistol, forming a ground jungle that was difficult for war horses to enter.

Sun Ce waved his spear and picked up a throwing spear, and he was already inexplicably angry in his heart: Who is this subordinate and what kind of tactics? ! Why is every link so calm, every step so precise! Before the battle was engaged, their cold combat aura like a fighting machine had already made them anxious and angry!

Sun Ce is not a fool, let alone a fool who knows that he is invincible and rushes recklessly. Seeing that the opportunity had been lost, he gritted his teeth and cried blood and turned back and shouted: "Withdraw!" After that, as soon as he turned the horse's head and fled from the battlefield, the Jiangdong soldiers were angry. But Sun Ce was really a natural commander, and when he galloped in front of the generals, he deliberately shouted again: "Those who do not obey military orders will be killed!" ”

Soon, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses who came from afar all saw Sun Ce's figure. Although he was a little puzzled by this military order, Sun Ce's prestige in the army was in full swing, and no one questioned it for a while. Almost in an instant, the originally menacing army formed a turning point at the location of Ma Chao's five hundred paces, and those Jiangdong disciples were either arrogant, confused, or stunned to look at the battle formation in front of them, and then turned around and left!

"King Yong, give the order to pursue!" Huo Jun rushed to Ma Chao's side, hugged his fists and begged for his life: "Such a good opportunity, if you don't take advantage of the victory to pursue, it's really ......" Saying this, he suddenly stopped his mouth, because he realized that it was the Nanyang elite under Ma Chao who created such a miracle of defeating Sun Ce's army without a single casualty. And the King of Yong in front of him, although he is about the same age as him, his battle experience is a hundred times better than him, and his reputation as a god of war is beyond doubt!

Sure enough, when Ma Chao said a word, Huo Jun was even more sure of his speculation. I saw Ma Chao looking at Sun Ce's flying figure, without the slightest disdain for him before, but with a little more solemnity: "The first time the two armies met, it was not a time of life and death, and Sun Ce retreated so decisively this time, although the military formation was slightly chaotic, but the morale did not fall. And the battle situation ahead is unknown, Sun Ce still has more than 100,000 troops in hand, and it is not a good strategy to rashly pursue. Or gather the rout and merge with Liu Bei of the river. ”

After saying this, Ma Chao didn't care about the military formation anymore. Those aftermath matters will naturally be handled by subordinates. He just looked at Pang Tong with a smile on his face, and there was some vague regret in his heart: this encounter was really just an encounter. But it was this encounter that made Sun Ce see his Ma family-style battle. There are small victories at the moment, but there are more losses. A genius like Sun Ce, after returning from shame, he will definitely be treated with a hundred times more caution. In this way, it will take you several years of energy to create a technological advantage that transcends this era, and you will lose a bit of suddenness - this is another sense of more than worth the loss.

"Pang Tong, this time you will talk about the battle between the north and the south, what is the difference between victory and defeat?"

"Of course you will win," Pang Tong still did not change his previous judgment, but this time it had a bit of schadenfreude: "However, it may be more troublesome to win......

"Well," Ma Chao nodded expressionlessly, and after letting the smile on Pang Tong's face bloom, he looked very serious again, and said: "In this way, this time I have to rely more on Zhuge Liang under Liu Bei." I can't say it, I want to agree to Huang Lao's request and marry Ah Chou Xu to Zhuge Liang......"

The smile on Pound's face was immediately replaced by a touch of anger, he turned to Ma Chao fiercely, and said loudly: "Ma Chao, are you provoking me?" ”

"That's right," Ma Chao took out the seven-star treasure knife on the sole of his boot and turned around, successfully grasping the initiative of the topic again: "After many years of planning, I have discovered a rule, the conspiracy is not terrible, the terrible thing is that those who are obviously easy to be recognized by the opponent, but the other party has to jump into the yang conspiracy is the most terrifying." I don't care if you are obsessed with ugly or not, but it is not a loss to me to be able to use her to coerce you. Speaking of this, Ma Chao smiled, touched Pang Tong's face, and said with a smile: "What's more, I'm not going to kill Ah Ugly, right?" ”

"Good!" Pang Tong gritted his teeth: "Then I'll help set up a plan, but you also have to promise me a condition." ”

"Say."

"Don't call Ugly by this name in the future, it's not what you should call."

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, but looking at the terrible and cute young man in front of him, he suddenly sneered again: "What do you think of the name 'Yueying'?" ”

In the Han Dynasty, women's names were generally kept extremely secret. Generally, at the time of marriage, after the dowry is sent in the south, the procedure of 'accepting the name' will be carried out to know the woman's name. And if Ma Chao says Huang Yueying's full name like this, it is not possible unless the two world friends are possible.

Pang Tong was immediately shocked and angry, but since Liu Xie was completely defeated by Ma Chao, he felt as if he had lost his ability to deal with Ma Chao, leaving only the sadness of being played by Ma Chao in the palm of his hand. But in addition to being annoyed, he felt a closeness that he had never experienced before, and he didn't know how to speak now.

However, at this time, Ma Chao's expression had regained his solemnity, and he said to Pang Tong again: "Okay, I promise you." Don't be careless, though. The premise of this conditional transaction is that you have to succeed...... Behind Sun Ce's guy, there is another Zhou Yu who is not easy to deal with. ”
