Chapter 25: The Decisive Victory

The misty night covered the land. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn this vast night, the Ganjiang River is still rushing, and the sound of rolling waves cannot hide the iron and blood battle at the Yuzhang Ferry. This battle may be pitiful compared to the wars that have broken out in other parts of the land, but it is only a battle of five hundred and eleven men, and there is not the slightest spectacle to speak of. But as participants in the war, they did not dare to be careless about this war. Because the result of carelessness is death.

The camp was built on the river's edge, and a semicircular fence had completely blocked the road leading to the ferry. The attacking and defensive teams spread out along the fence of the camp. Over time, something has changed. The current fierce battle seems to be still in front of the camp.

Although the fence in front of the camp has been damaged, the Jingzhou army relied on the ingenious traps in the camp and the strong crossbow in their hands to resist the attack of Liu Xuanjun and Sun Shao's team. They didn't run away, they all carried it to the death, and their strength really made people believe that they were just a group of recruits who had not experienced any battles, a group of recruits who had only been trained for two or three months.

"In front is the enemy rushing over, and behind is the rolling water of the Gan River. If you think you're good at the water, swim to the other side at night. If you think you can't do it, then take up your weapons and go with me to kill them. After receiving the news that Sun Shao was leading the overnight pursuit and preparing to annihilate his men at the Yuzhang Ferry with superior forces, Li Sheng, who was in charge of the mission of the palace army, announced to all the soldiers in his immature but firm words.

At this moment, the strength in his hands is about 600 people, in addition to the 400 Yuzhang recruits he originally trained, there are also 100 crossbowmen left by General Huang Zhong and 100 soldiers who later protected his stepmother, that is, those brought by Xu Ding and Peng Ling, all of whom were veterans who had fought with Li Sheng. At present, he is going to use these people to resist the attack of the opponent's 1,000 soldiers and horses, and drag the entire battle situation down until General Huang Zhong's team crushes the opponent's rear formation in order to win the final battle.

The use of the night, the use of the woods, and the use of the enemy's rear are all recruits who have not experienced a single battle and training, sneaking into the opponent's rear from the gap in the woods and inflicting a devastating blow on the enemy's rear formation. Such an operation required concealment, and ordinary soldiers could not complete it at all, only the 400 well-trained veterans and recruits brought by Huang Zhong from Jingzhou were 100 well-trained.

Time, the most critical thing for Li Sheng's side now is time. As long as this front of his can hold back the enemy's advance. Then after a certain period of time, it is he Li Sheng's side who finally wins. As for whether General Huang Zhong could complete this task, Li Sheng had no doubts at all. After all, he is the world-famous five tiger generals in the future. can tie with Guan Yu at the age of sixty, where will it be?

The fence in front has been broken. Despite the traps set by their own side and the support of the crossbowmen who dispersed in time, the enemy's ranks still advanced little by little, gradually pressing on the Chinese army. The sound of shouting and killing slowly became louder, and Li Sheng, who was standing in front of the Chinese military tent, had already vaguely seen the rushing figure.

"Broken through? Is it a little bit or a whole line? In the chaos, Li Sheng looked at the rushing enemy very calmly. He looked coldly at the bloody steel axe in the hand of the madman, and the thoughts in his heart flew around: "If it's the whole line, then I have to transfer the team behind me, if not, then just curb their momentum." ”

Whether it was a little bit or all of it, he secretly glanced at the situation around him. When he realized that neither side of the left nor the right side was as dangerous as his middle, he finally confirmed: "This is a point, not a whole line." ”

The enemy general (the guy with the steel axe and the extraordinary bravery should be the first general!) Seems to be just a person who values the individual. He only used himself as a sharp knife, leading the entire middle lane to a frantic assault, forgetting that the left and right sides were still under strong resistance. At the moment, his team is like an outstretched finger, pointing directly at Li Sheng's Chinese army. Although it looks strong and majestic, it is rigid and easy to break. Behind him, there were only eighty white people who broke through here, and half of them were more or less colorful.

"At the end of the strong crossbow, you can't wear Lu Min." This is Li Sheng's parity with their team. Although they still look very brave now, Li Sheng can see that their current bravery is only supported by a blood qi in their bodies. As long as they are given a certain amount of pressure and let their blood and qi fade, then they will definitely collapse.

"I should have given them a blow." Li Sheng saw that it was almost there, and he made a decision in his heart. The so-called "strike" is to throw the 100 soldiers behind them into the battlefield as a new force, so that they can deal with those enemies who seem to be a little tired. Due to the need for a unified bow and crossbow command at the front, Li Sheng had already sent Xu Ding to the front. Now if he wants to send someone to strike at the enemy army, then he can only take action himself. Because Peng Ling didn't follow, he was still in charge of the safety of his stepfather Zhuge Xuan in Xicheng opposite, which was to undertake the task of personal bodyguard.

"Kill!" Li Sheng shouted in a low voice, and with a wave of the waning moon in his hand, he led the warriors behind him to run towards the enemy in front of him. Because the battle was not very large, there was not much room for maneuver of cavalry, so he did not use his own mount. At this moment, he was like the most ordinary soldiers, running on his feet, at the head of the group.

At this moment, Sun Lei is happily immersed in the pleasure of destruction. He has lost the correct judgment that he should have as a general. In his mind, there is only everything in front of him. Wielding a steel axe, marching on foot, and destroying what stood in his way was all he wanted to do right now. He was frantic, and he couldn't stop letting out a dry roar in his throat. Although his throat was a little hoarse, and the roar he let out was not as majestic as it was at the beginning, the battle intent he expressed did not decrease with the hoarseness of his voice in the slightest, but on the contrary, it rose even higher.

There was a messy but very powerful footsteps in front of him, Sun Lei stared, but found that a group of people were running towards him. He looked at the leather armor they were wearing, and a cruel smile appeared on his face that was full of sweat.

"Woo...... Whew! He seemed to be wheezing, and he was laughing. He was very happy, because the guy on the other side had finally sent out the last of their strength. Looking at the calm behind these people, he knew that as long as he defeated the guy in front of him, his victory would be certain. After all, no enemy can continue fighting after losing the command of his own troops.

"Kill!" He hoarsely voiced like a demon returning from hell, brandished the steel axe in his hand, and slashed at the head of one of the Zhuge Army soldiers who was facing him with his bloodshot red eyes. In his opinion, under this blow, the other party will definitely be cut in two by the sharp blade in his hand. He is very confident in his martial arts.

He knew that he was holding a steel axe, and the other party was just an ordinary iron spear, and with the other party's thin body, it was impossible to survive even if he wanted to. Cutting the blade in two together was a rehearsed ending in his heart. He couldn't wait to taste the smell of blood splattering from his enemies' bodies.

"It tastes so good." He thought his tongue sticking out, sweeping nimbly around his mouth. There are still some dried blood stains there.

However, the imaginary liquid did not burst out. Because of a strange style, "Changge" has firmly held the long axe he chopped down.

"Dang!" A crisp sound of gold and iron erupted, and a brilliant spark flashed in the darkness. In this fleeting light, a face full of panic and a calm and calm face appeared in Sun Lei's eyes at the same time. The frightened one was naturally the soldier who almost died under his axe, and the calm one was the one who successfully resisted his full blow.

"How can this be? This kid has a lot of strength. Sun Lei looked at Li Sheng's still childish face, and was slightly surprised in his heart. In his opinion, his strength is already great enough, and he can resist his own attack at such a young age, doesn't that mean that his current strength is basically at the same level as himself? He was still young, still growing his body. Now that there is such a level, won't it be even more powerful in the future?

"Damn it! Why would such a guy be my enemy? There was so much madness that Sun Lei couldn't help but curse again and again. He hated being strong on the other side, and hated him being young. If the young man on the other side was in the same camp as himself, he would definitely cultivate well, but now he is on the enemy's side, and he is against himself. The irreconcilable contradiction between the two made him make up his mind: he planned to destroy the other party here.

"Come again!" Sun Lei made up his mind to drink again, and the long axe that was held up by the other party slammed back, and a circular arc trajectory was made in the air and slashed diagonally towards the enemy on the opposite side again. In his eyes, although the young man on the other side has the ability to compete with his own strength, he is absolutely incomparable to himself in terms of the durability of his strength. As long as he blindly fights with him, there will be a moment when he will be completely defeated due to the lack of durability.

"That's when we have a chance to succeed." Sun Lei thought so. He just slammed the axe over, just to make the other party tired of parrying.

It's just that he wants to fight hard, but Li Sheng, as his opponent, refuses to give him a chance to fight hard. After bearing the other party's blow, Li Sheng's arm became a little numb. He estimated his strength and found that although he could withstand the opponent's hard blow, he could only block one or two blows after all. If you parry for a long time, you will definitely lose ugly, and the so-called "losing" on the battlefield is equivalent to death.

Li Sheng didn't want to die, so he intended to win this battle. In his opinion, since the other party already has the idea of fighting hard, he should undoubtedly crack such an idea with it.

"Flexibility can overcome rigidity!" The meaning of this sentence is no longer like when he didn't practice martial arts at the beginning, when he only left an understanding of the original meaning of the words. At present, after the casting of Xu Ding and Peng Ling, the baptism of the bloody battle in Xuzhou, and the recent tempering of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, although he is only fifteen years old, he still lacks strength, but in terms of understanding the moves, he has formed his own opinion. How to deal with the strength of the brave general, how to deal with the skill of the wisdom of the general, he has his own set of plans. Now dealing with Sun Lei, he is just testing his own method of dealing with strength-type brave generals.

Because of the lesson of almost dying in the first battle when he was encircled, he fought with the other party at this moment. He immediately controlled his mind and calmed down, and slowly entered the realm of "calm as a lake, reflecting everything in the world". Regarding this realm, Li Sheng very vividly named it with a name that he had seen in the animation before, that is, "Spiegel Stops Water". Although this title has a bit of a little Japanese flavor, Li Sheng himself has to admit that Little Japan's animation is indeed a little good. Just like their AV.

Under his feet, he stepped on the figure-eight Taiji step, dodging back and forth between the ghosts of the steel axe under Sun Lei's split. The waning moon in his hand stabbed out with a round dance trap, and little by little, the power that was enough to hinder the opponent's move was added to the steel axe, which gradually made the steel axe in Sun Lei's hand become heavy.

Seventy pounds, eighty pounds, ninety pounds...... Little by little, the heavy steel axe consumed Sun Lei's strength, which had been gathered by holding a mouthful of blood, and slowly made him feel tired.

Exhaustion may be followed by endless sinking, but Sun Lei is not willing to sink like this. The trouble at the moment only aroused the fighting intent in his chest even more frantically. He Sun Lei was originally a stronger person. The steel axe in his hand was thrown away like the wind, although it was heavy, although it consumed his physical strength even more, but under this crazy pressure, Li Sheng, who was originally easy to fight, was in a hurry for a while.

As soon as the waning moon move in his hand was scattered, the originally circled Yuanden had no rules, allowing Sun Lei's axe to recover its original feel. The so-called "one force down ten meetings" refers to this. Although there is a saying that softness can overcome rigidity, it is in the case that softness is not weaker than rigidity. In fact, as long as the strength of the gang is great, the rigidity may not be able to overcome the softness.

"Be ......!" This is the second collision between the waning moon and the steel axe. Like the previous collision, this time there were also flashes of sparks. In this sudden light, Sun Lei saw Li Sheng's slightly pale face, and even saw the situation of the battle around him. At this moment, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or bitter. The young man's pale face showed that he had no strength to compete with him anymore. Although he is very strong now, he still can't beat himself. As long as you work harder, it is definitely possible to kill this little ghost.

But so what? The surrounding situation is not the slightest bit bad, in the same battle between generals and soldiers, their own soldiers have been killed by the other party very skillfully. Seeing that they wielded their knives very hotly, and looking at the calmness on their faces, Sun Lei knew that they were all soldiers who had come down from the battlefield and were veterans of the war. What's going on? He didn't understand. It seems that in his mind, there should not be an enemy who has experienced war? Whether it is the Jingzhou soldiers or the Yuzhang recruits recruited by Zhuge Xuan later, they should not have experienced the battle of life and death. In that case, who will be on the other side?

This is already unthinkable, and the key now is how to minimize the impact of defeat, rather than thinking about this or that reason.

was splitting, slashing, curling wheels, and a few heavy and spicy hands, Sun Lei had already used all his strength to force Li Shengwei away. He widened the distance between the two of them, then turned around and left. He knew he couldn't fight anymore, because that would put himself and those around him under siege. The enemy's combat strength is very high, which is beyond that expectation. If we continue according to the original plan without any changes, everything will be the final failure of today.

"That's not going to work." Sun Lei thought, and after forcing the enemy away, he immediately ordered: "Retreat!" "The battle has been carried out at this point, and my team has become a real tired army, if I continue to fight like this, I am afraid that my men and horses will end up with no bones in front of the first hundred fresh troops. This made him feel terrible, and he had to retreat reluctantly.

"As long as you retreat to the back and discuss it with your uncle, there should be a better way to solve the problem in front of you." Sun Lei thought so. He was convinced that the retreat would only be temporary. He had no doubt that his side would win the battle.

After all, he still has troops in his hands, and although the enemy on the opposite side is happy for a while, in the end, he is far inferior to himself in terms of military strength. So far, they have blocked their own attacks, but in the case of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800, their team of five or six hundred people is only about 400 left.

Just as Sun Lei retreated with his own people full of confidence, what he had high hopes for was his clan uncle Sun Shao who fell into a headache. His rear army has been attacked by unknown horses. Five hundred against five hundred, in less than a quarter of an hour, they were completely defeated by the other party.

"How so?" After receiving the final result of the matter, Sun Shao was a little stunned. He carefully recalled everything since the rear army was attacked, and couldn't help but sigh: "After all, I still underestimate the enemy in front of me." This is really the biggest miscalculation in his opinion.

That's when it all began: "Damn it's a trap." When there was a shout of killing behind his formation, Sun Shao knew that it was not good. But for a moment he had no way to think of it, in order to intensify the attack on the enemy in front of him, he had already sent most of the Chinese army in his hands, and now he only had this mere hundred guards in his hands. This is the force he uses to keep himself safe. If it weren't for the extreme crisis of the situation, he would not be willing to send this team of men as well.

So, he had to wait, wait for the troops in front to completely crush the last resistance of the enemy. In his opinion, the other party has the same recruits as his rear army, although he doesn't know how they use to sneak behind his formation silently, but as long as they are recruits, the battle in the rear army will not end soon. After all, the combat effectiveness of both sides is about the same. Even if his own rear army can't block the opponent's attack, it is still no problem to hold them back for a while.

"There should be some time." Under such thoughts, he didn't make any moves, but he seemed very relaxed.

Not knowing the enemy's intelligence, this is Sun Shao's mistake. Sending troops to attack without understanding, and the road general did not reconnoiter carefully, but after being attacked by the other party, he did not make a decision slowly, and completely underestimated the other party, which was Sun Shao's biggest failure. Because of this series of actions, his rear army quickly collapsed. Even if his rear army was commanded by Sun Yun, who he praised as the "future handsome talent", it could not resist the attack of a group of fierce tigers led by a tiger king. Although he, Sun Yun, is also a fierce tiger himself, his Sun Yun's subordinates are a group of out-and-out sheep. The outcome of this asymmetrical battle was determined as early as the moment the attack was launched.

They were still walking in the woods. Suddenly, an earth-shattering shout of killing rang out from the woods on the left. Sharp arrows pierced through the gaps in the trees and pierced straight into the bodies of a few unlucky guys. Blood poured out of the place where it had been hit, and the unfortunate people suddenly felt pain and fear, and they screamed and screamed, which at once reduced the morale of the whole team to a low point, and made everyone panic.

The arrows fired from the dense forest were obviously very accurate, but the first volley caused the rear army on the road to lose a hundred men. If these soldiers walking on the road were veterans of Liu Xuanjun, then perhaps the loss of these hundred people would make them burst into unprecedented anger after a headache. But unfortunately, the new recruits who are being attacked in front of them are several times worse than the veterans.

At the moment of the blow, the darkness around them, the sudden burst of shouts, and the arrows shot from the shadows all made these recruits feel the presence of fear. They couldn't bear such fear, and suddenly they were in chaos. Even when they heard the shouts of their commander Sun Yun, they didn't take it seriously at all.

Sun Yun was an elegant and calm general. In the hearts of soldiers, he may not be as good as Sun Lei and Sun Shao in terms of martial arts, but his demeanor and his heartfelt care for the soldiers make him very important among ordinary soldiers. Just like Sun Shao's evaluation of him, he Sun Yun is a handsome talent in the future and a general.

But such an assessment does not help him stabilize the situation in front of him. The troops in front of him were not the soldiers he had led for a long time, but the recruits who had just been recruited for less than half a month. Because they were in a hurry to go to Yuzhang, these people who had just been forced to put down their hoes were not well trained. Although Sun Yun and Sun Lei each used their own methods to temporarily stabilize these people, and there were no large-scale deserters on the road, the time was so tight that no matter how hard they tried, they could only barely maintain such a moment.

To put it bluntly, these newly recruited Yuzhang soldiers are not unable to fight, but can only fight smoothly. They are not able to accept setbacks. Because in the face of frustration, they become so impatient that they end up in a terrified mess. They're going to beat themselves up. Just like the situation right now.

Arrows kept coming out of the woods. Although it was just scattered like that, and it didn't form a perfect wave like the beginning, it was so scattered and non-stop, so that the screams of Sun Yun's soldiers didn't stop for a moment. The mournful wails, the desperate screams, turned into the clamor of ghosts in the night, and all at once spread far and wide.

In the midst of the scattered arrows, a middle-aged general on horseback came out of the woods. The iron armor on his body was painted with black paint, and there were some thin leaves on it, and with a slight shake, some pieces of it shook off from it. He wordlessly held the big knife and stared coldly at Sun Yun, who was slightly flustered. Behind him, followed nearly three hundred loyal and brave men.

"Nanyang Huang Zhong is here! Coming to pick up! Listening to the middle-aged general's shout, he rode towards Sun Yun's strong attack, and arrived in front of Sun Yun in the blink of an eye. Sun Yun drew his sword and wanted to stab at Huang Zhong, but he didn't want Huang Zhong to have already seen this move. I saw that the upside-down knife shaft in his hand went up slightly, gently opened the long sword that Sun Yun stabbed, and then sent the knife slightly to the left, handed the weapon to his left hand, and the powerful right hand stretched out a strap that grabbed Sun Yun's waist and grabbed it from the horse, and put it directly in front of his saddle. In just one round, Huang Zhong captured Sun Yun and immediately.

Such a brave teaching of those recruits looked straight at them. They never thought that Sun Yunsima, whom they still admired a little, would be caught so easily by the other party. Although Sun Yun's strength is not as good as Sun Lei and Sun Shao, it is not too bad overall. One person still has the ability to deal with dozens of people, and he is much higher than his own people. People like this can't stop it, and as soon as that guy named Huang Zhong is together, what can he do on his side? They stood there in a daze, with their feet shaky, and their hearts were already full of despair.

"Kill!" Huang Zhong's mouth coldly highlighted such a word.

I saw that with a wave of his right hand, the soldiers behind him immediately pounced viciously on the dazed enemy like a tiger out of the mountain. The sword fell, the head flew and the body was broken, when a dozen unlucky guys were killed as the first to be killed. All the soldiers of Zhu Haojun immediately panicked. Because the enemy came from behind, they had no choice but to flee forward. Because they run for their lives, they can only run wildly.

The next action was very simple for Huang Zhong. All he had to do was drive the chaotic enemy forward like a sheep.

"Let the defeated soldiers attack the enemy, which is still a complete shape, and even let the enemy's chaos further expand. In this way, we can lead the enemy from point to point and completely lose the courage to fight. This was the last step Li Sheng told him. Once that's done, all that's left is to judge according to your instincts on the battlefield.

Looking at the enemy who was scurrying away, a faint smile appeared on Huang Zhong's usually serious face. He knew victory was coming.
