Outside Nanchang City, Zhao Yun led more than a thousand Tianwei troops to set up a position in front of the formation. Cheng Pu also led the army to set up a formation, and the two sides looked at each other cautiously in front of the formation. Most of Cheng Pu's soldiers and horses were his descendants, all of whom were soldiers who followed Cheng Pu to fight in the south and the north, and some of them were soldiers who fought with Lu Bu outside the Tiger Prison Pass. Therefore, Cheng Pu's soldiers are very rich in battles.

And Zhao Yun is not a vegetarian. Zhao Yun's Tianwei army originated from the white horse righteous servants of Gongsun Zan in the north, and since 194, he has followed Zhao Yun to fight in the north and south, and has won countless battles, which makes Cao Cao fearful. What's more, the current Tianwei Army is equipped with extremely sophisticated equipment, and it is supplemented by big-name horses, how can they be afraid of Cheng Pu?

The two elite troops fought, and Zhao Yun immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Whose troops are you?" Why do you come to violate my prophecy? ”

Seeing Yiyuan's young general wearing silver armor come forward, Cheng Pu took a closer look, this young general is extraordinary, and he must not be the original general under Liu Xuan. For a while, it was not the identity of the opponent, so Cheng Pu also came out and replied: "The Han Dynasty has the ability to live in it, what is your Yuzhang?" ”

"What a capable person lives in, let me see your ability today!"

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he rode a horse to fight with Cheng Pu, and when he saw that someone was actually going to challenge his main general, Cheng Pu jumped out next to him, and the general rushed to the battlefield and took Zhao Yun directly!

Seeing an unknown young general, Zhao Yun urged him to step forward immediately, and without asking his name, he went up and fought. The war horses staggered, the generals on the opposite side slashed at each other, Zhao Yun set up a gun and blocked it, and when the war horses staggered past, Zhao Yun returned the gun and pierced the back of the heart of the general Cheng Pu.

General Cheng Pu was still wearing armor, and Zhao Yun's spear was so sharp that it actually pierced the armor! And the powerful Zhao Yun even picked him off the horse with one shot.

actually stabbed the enemy to death with one move, and Cheng Pu was dumbfounded on the battlefield. This young general's weapon is so sharp! After killing the enemy general, taking advantage of the morale boost, Zhao Yun led the troops to kill Cheng Pu.

The veteran Cheng Pu hurriedly met the enemy, and the two armies fought outside Nanchang City. As soon as the two sides fought, although Cheng Pu had more troops and horses, the decline was evident in less than a quarter of an hour. First of all, in terms of weapons, Cheng Pu's military horses are mostly equipped with iron knives, and Tao Ying's soldiers and horses are equipped with steel knives.

By cutting off the weapon, the soldier wields a steel knife that can cut down the enemy along with the helmet. It is that some martial arts superb Cheng Pujun horses stabbed the Tianwei Army on the war horse with a spear, and the armor on the Tianwei Army was custom-made steel armor, which could not be pierced at all!

Coupled with the sophistication of the soldiers of the Tianwei Army, Cheng Pu's military horses began to retreat non-stop in less than half a pillar of incense, because this battle could not be fought at all! After Zhao Yun stabbed the three generals to death, Cheng Pu came over and fought with Zhao Yun.

The two sides fought more than a dozen rounds in the battle without a win. But where does Cheng Pu have a young Zhao Yun with fighting spirit? In addition, Zhao Yun's armor is light and thin, Cheng Pu is wearing heavy armor, and the two of them can't fight for half a pillar of incense, Cheng Pu is tired and tired, so he can only retreat with a false move.

Seeing that Cheng Pu was leaving, how could Zhao Yun let him go, so he led the cavalry to chase and kill all the way. chased all the way to a valley, Cheng Pu ran into the valley, Zhao Yun wanted to chase, but I was afraid that there would be an ambush. So he sent a team of men and horses into the valley, and sure enough, a team of more than a dozen people had just approached the valley, and suddenly there were two loud noises above the valley, it turned out that Cheng Pu had already laid an ambush here!

On the mountains on both sides, Cheng Pu arranged two cannons, which Sun Ce equipped for him. The shells from the two cannons exploded around the Tianwei army, and with a bang, the iron slag was scattered everywhere, and five or six soldiers were the first to be hit by the bombs. However, fortunately, they were equipped with heavy armor, and the cannonballs of Taoling No. 1 Cannon were not very powerful, so the soldiers were just thrown out by the war horses, and because the war horses were not protected by armor, four or five horses were injured by the flying iron and lay on the ground unable to move.

The wounded horses dragged their masters and a Tianwei soldier and hurriedly ran back. Fortunately, the Taoling cannon is very slow to change shells, otherwise they would have to confess to the dozen or so good horses!

Escaping from the valley, seeing that the Tianwei army had withdrawn, Cheng Pu led his troops to attack again, and Zhao Yun returned directly to Nanchang City. Cheng Pufu led his troops to attack Nancheng, and Zhao Yun no longer went out of the city. Cheng Pu besieged the city, and Sun Shao returned fire with an improved Taoling cannon. After a year of improvement, today's Taoling cannon has been upgraded to the second generation of Taoling cannon.

The second-generation Taoling cannon has made great improvements in gunpowder and artillery, first of all, the cannon has been adjusted in the rate of fire, and the new cannon has a faster rate of fire and farther. In terms of ammunition, the new gunpowder is also improved, more powerful, and has a wider killing area.

So when Cheng Pu began to attack the city, when it was far away, Sun Shao let the artillery attack, and the soldiers had already suffered heavy casualties before they could rush to the moat. Cheng Pu wanted the artillery to fire back, but found that a generation of Taoling cannons could not hit the city wall at all. As soon as the cannon was transported, it was targeted by the wooden cannon that could be moved in the city, and when Cheng Pu's cannon only collapsed into the moat, the cannon in Nanchang had already blown Cheng Pu's cannon away with two cannons.

Two cannons were lost, and they were not yet killed in the city. After these two battles, the soldiers and horses brought by Cheng Pu have been injured by nearly 800 people. There was no play in attacking the city again, and when Cheng Puche retreated, Zhao Yun led his troops to fight again. Cheng Pu ran into the valley, Zhao Yun returned, and after going back and forth like this for half a month, Tao Ying discovered Cheng Pu's place where he hid grain, and then led the cavalry to capture the grain and grass, and burned Cheng Pu's grain and grass.

Without food and grass, Cheng Pu had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

After guarding Nanchang, Sun Shao asked people to build four passes outside Nanchang City, and then guarded there first. In order to prevent Sun Ce from leading his troops to come again, Sun Shao ordered craftsmen to imitate the Taoling second-generation cannon in Nanchang to make it, and then equipped them at the pass.

After Cheng Pu withdrew his troops, he returned to Danyang to report Sun Ce on the battle situation. I heard that Nanchang has a new type of artillery, which has a longer range and greater power, and there is a young general in Nancheng to guard it. There are a thousand cavalry behind the young general, and the weapons equipped are extremely sharp, and the armor is not easy to break, so it is not easy to break Nanchang City.

Yu Zhang couldn't just be lost, Sun Ce wanted to personally conquer Yu Zhang, and then bring his catapult and other large siege equipment to attack Nanchang City, but the spies came to report that Chen Deng ordered five thousand well-equipped Sky Eagle Army to be stationed on the Danyang border. Moreover, the Sky Eagle Army has been recruiting mountain bandits, and many mountain bandits are afraid of the prestige of the Sky Eagle Army, and many of them have defected to the Sky Eagle Army.

After conquering the mountain bandits in Wu County in the past six months, He Qi seized dozens of truckloads of jewelry, gold and silver. With money, and there were many people who took refuge in the conquest of the mountain bandits, He Qi wrote to Tao Ying to expand the Eagle Army to 10,000 people. Tao Ying approved him, and now He Qi has money, not only equipped 10,000 military horses, but also purchased ten warships in Jiangducheng, Guangling County.

Although these warships were not equipped with steam engines, they were equipped with Taoling second-generation war guns produced in Suzhou City, so that the Sky Eagle Army could crisscross the water and land. There is a lot of water in the south, and with these equipment, the reputation of the Sky Eagle Army began to slowly spread in the south.

So much so that when Sun Ce heard that the Heqi Heavenly Eagle Army was stationed at the border, he hurriedly mobilized his generals and horses at the border to defend the Heavenly Eagle Army.
