Chapter 17: Assault

"Woo ......" Sun Ce gently pulled the reins of the horse, and at the same time raised his right arm, the Jiangdong cavalry behind him began to slow down, and in less than a moment, the Jiangdong cavalry stood like a rock in the wilderness, and the three thousand cavalry were silent, only the sound of the war horse's nose sounded.

These 3,000 cavalry were accumulated bit by bit by Sun Ce in the past two years of crusades and expeditions, and each of them can be said to have crawled out of the pile of dead, and it can definitely be called the elite of the elite!

This can be seen from the eyes of the Jiangdong cavalry, whose eyes are cold, bloodthirsty, and unruly.

There were 100,000 Yuan troops on the opposite side, almost more than 30 times that of the Jiangdong army, but from the eyes of the Jiangdong cavalry, there was no trace of fear, yes, these 3,000 Jiangdong cavalry, like Sun Ce, did not take Yuan Shu's army in their eyes at all, in their eyes, 100,000 Yuan Shu's army was just 100,000 pigs to be slaughtered.

Sun Ce's green horse under his crotch felt the murderous aura of the battlefield, and began to become irritable, swinging his head while constantly plowing the ground with his front hooves.

Tai Shici, Song Qian, and Jia Hua also gathered around Sun Ce, their faces full of excitement.

If an army keeps winning, then the soldiers in the army will inevitably become murderous, because killing means more merit, more rewards, and higher titles!

Tai Shi Ci turned the spear sideways and said lightly: "Lord, kick the formation!" ”

"There's no hurry." Sun Ce waved his hand, raised his silver spear and pointed to the north and said, "Ziyi, just now Yuan Shu's army sent an army to the north, I don't know if you saw it?" ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "The last general has seen it, and there is indeed an army going north. ”

Sun Ce said: "Ziyi thinks, where did that army go?" ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "The lord is joking, the last general is not Yuan Shu'er's Ah Weng, how can Yuan Shu'er report his marching destination to the last general?" ”

Song Qian and Jia Hua laughed when they heard this.

Sun Ce also smiled, and after laughing, he said: "If something is not mistaken, that army must have gone to Xia Cai, because from Huainan to the south is Jiangdong, to the east is Xuzhou, Yuan Shu Lao'er has no courage to go, the only thing he dares to go is Runan, if Yuan Shu Lao'er wants to escape back to Runan, Xia Cai Ferry is the only way." ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "What does the lord mean, is it to bypass this place and directly hunt down Yuan Shu?" ”

Sun Ce said: "How can it be, although these 100,000 strong men are untrained, they are the best source of soldiers, no matter how bad they are, they can become farmers or woodcutters, greatly supplementing the population and labor of Jiangdong, how can they easily let go?" ”

This time the four-way coalition army crusaded against Yuan Shu, Cao Cao was to kill chickens and monkeys, Liu Bei was loyal to the imperial court, Lu Bu was to take the opportunity to burn and plunder, and he Sun Ce came to pass on the jade seal and population of the country, because Jiangdong was vast and sparsely populated, and urgently needed to replenish the population, so Sun Ce would never let go of the 100,000 strong men in front of him.

Tai Shi Ci said: "What does the lord ......mean?"

Sun Ce suddenly shouted: "Tai Shi Ci listens to the order!" ”

Tai Shi Ci hurriedly replied: "The end will be!" ”

Sun Ce said: "Give you 2,000 cavalry, don't care about the Yuan Shu army along the road, just go to Xia Cai, and you will definitely seize the Xia Cai ferry before Yuan Shu's old man!" ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "But my lord, there are only a thousand cavalry left by your side this time......

Sun Ce said: "100,000 Yuan troops are just 100,000 native chickens and tile dogs, and a thousand cavalry is enough to break it, Ziyi doesn't need to hesitate, quickly lead the troops forward." ”

"No!" Tai Shi Ci suddenly agreed, picked up two thousand cavalry and left.

(Dividing Line)

Yuan's army was in the rear.

Zhang Xun was surrounded by dozens of relatives and looked out on horseback.

The little overlord Sun Ce once stayed under Yuan Shu's account for three years, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and other Yuan army generals who didn't know that Sun Ce's martial arts were outstanding and brave?

Even Ji Ling couldn't beat Sun Ce.

Zhang Xun would never dare to stay in front of the formation, so that Sun Ce could take the first rank?

Seeing that one of the Jiangdong cavalry was divided and went straight to the north, Zhang Xun couldn't help frowning.

The deputy general, Lei Bo Cema, came to Ji Ling and said with a dark face: "Sun Ce is too arrogant, right?" He has a total of 3,000 cavalry, and in the face of my 80,000 army, he still dares to divide his troops? ”

Zhang Xun shook his head, frowned and said, "If it is just to contain our army, a thousand cavalry is enough." ”

Before Zhang Xun's words fell, a horn sounded in the Jiangdong cavalry formation in front of him, and Lei Bo snorted and said: "Ha, the general guessed wrong this time, Sun Ce Xiao'er didn't plan to contain us at all, but really planned to use the remaining 1,000 cavalry to kick through our 80,000 big array, what an arrogant Sun Ce child!" ”

Zhang Xun was also angry, and said with a blushing face: "Sun Ce Xiaoer, it's really crazy, today I will teach him a good lesson, how to respect people!" ”

(Dividing Line)

Sun Ce gently urged the green horse under his crotch, and then raised the silver spear to lead forward, and the thousand Jiangdong cavalry standing on the wilderness without moving like a mountain followed the urging war horse and slowly moved forward.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the wilderness.

Iron hooves pass by, mud splashes, weeds fly.

A thousand cavalry, divided into two rows in front and back, lined up, forming a front with a width of more than five hundred paces, hundreds of horse heads were moving and jetting together, the horse's mane was flying, and the iron armor was clanging, gradually converging into a cold steel torrent, rolling and crushing towards the Yuan Shu army that was waiting for the battle.

It was only a thousand cavalry, and it gave people an overwhelming shocking effect.

Sun Ce is indeed crazy enough, the Jiangdong army fights more with less, and the most correct strategy is to form a conical formation, in order to cut through the large array of Yuan Shu's army in the shortest possible time, so that it can't take care of each other, and then collapse without a fight!

But Sun Ce didn't, he stretched the formation to both sides as much as possible, in order to open the widest front, and form the greatest deterrent effect on Yuan Shujun from the visual effect.

The soldiers of the Yuan army in the formation were in a commotion again.

However, looking at the black and oppressive heads on the left and right, the soldiers of the Yuan army quickly calmed down again, no matter what, they all had an absolute numerical advantage, didn't they?

Seeing that Yuan Shu's army was only a little rioty, Sun Ce couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth, a little interesting, it seems that the general of Yuan Shu who led the troops is still a little capable, I don't know if it's Ji Ling? Or Zhang Xun?

However, even with a mere long snake formation, he also wants to block his own riding formation? Dream on!

The next moment, Sun Ce raised his left arm and pressed it weakly, and Song Qian, who was following Sun Ce behind him, slightly increased the tilt angle of Da Xu, which was information to speed up.

In an instant, a thousand Jiangdong cavalry urged their horses to speed up.

The horses, which had been only moving slowly, began to trot, and the sound of scattered hooves became more chaotic.

But after less than a moment, the war horse changed from trotting to running, and the originally chaotic sound of horses' hooves began to become neat, and hundreds of iron hooves struck the ground at the same time, making a dull sound, like thunder in the sky, and like a heavy drumbeat, directly knocking on the hearts of Yuan's soldiers.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, but the speed of the Jiangdong cavalry is getting faster and faster.

Because the speed was too fast, the Jiangdong cavalry, which was originally in a straight line, inevitably pulled out a curve, but on the whole, the Jiangdong cavalry still maintained an intact formation, which showed the good training and combat psychology of the Jiangdong cavalry.

"How......" Sun Ce raised his gun to the sky and howled at the sky.

A thousand Jiangdong troops followed like a shadow, and howled with the sky.

The Jiangdong Army was violent, and the officers and men of the Yuan Army were in a commotion for the third time.

And this time, the commotion of the soldiers of the Yuan army did not subside quickly, because when they looked around, they found that many robes were retreating, so they instinctively retreated.

"No retreat, no retreat, no retreat, those who retreat without permission will be killed!"

"Steady, steady, spearmen come forward to support."

"Archers, bow and arrow ready, ready to ...... Who the let you go? ”

Zhang Xun, Lei Bo, and the adjutant generals, lieutenants, and Sima tried their best to stabilize their positions, and tried to command the archers to launch a rain of arrows against the sprinting Jiangdong cavalry, but unfortunately, including Zhang Xun, they all overestimated these peasant woodcutters, and underestimated Sun Ce's prestige in the Huainan army.

Without waiting for the commander to give the order, the archers of the Yuan army instinctively loosened the bowstring.

A sparse rain of arrows rose from the rear of Yuan's army, and then fell to the ground.

However, it is a pity that Sun Ce's Jiangdong cavalry is still a hundred paces away.

"Haha!" Sun Ce suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, all this had been expected by him, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, and victory will always belong to the brave.

"Woo-ha!" Sun Ce raised the silver spear alof, and then pressed down hard.

"Woo-ha!" Song Qian, who was in charge of the flag, pointed diagonally forward with the largest inclination in his hand.

"Woo-ha!" In the next moment, a thousand Jiangdong cavalry roared like a tsunami with the mountain, and the cavalry in the front row pressed down the spear halberd in their hands, forming a dense spear forest in front of the moving horse heads in an instant, and the cavalry in the back row raised their sharp and shiny ring-headed knives above their heads.

After seeing this terrible scene, the fragile string in the hearts of the soldiers of the Yuan army finally broke.

In the turmoil, I don't know which one roared first, turned around and ran, and when he ran, he immediately formed an avalanche effect among the ten thousand armies, and the army was defeated like a mountain!

"No retreat, no retreat!" Zhang Xun slashed more than a dozen deserters in a row, but his strength alone was not enough to reverse the rout.

The adjutant general, Lei Bo Tse, rushed to Zhang Xun and shouted: "General, you can't do anything, let's run quickly." ”

"Don't run, go forward, the whole army will move forward, fight to the death and not retreat!" Zhang Xun was angry, but even if he shouted loudly, no soldier was willing to turn back and kill the enemy with him.

At this time, Sun Ce and his 1,000 Jiangdong cavalry had already clashed into Zhang Xun's 100,000 army like a tiger and wolf, and the soldiers of the Yuan army completely lost the will to resist.
