Chapter Sixty-Seven: A Fight for Survival
The Sun family is all competitive and competitive, and Sun Ben wants to fight with Diao Xiong head-on to avenge his former revenge.
He immediately ordered that only more than 5,000 troops should be left to continue the siege, and the remaining 15,000 troops and horses were all transferred to the north to meet and kill the main force of Mink Xiong.
Seeing this, Han Dang had to remind: "The young general can also fight, but Diao Xiong has a cavalry of thousands of people, so he must be guarded." ”
"Back then, my uncle was not afraid of 100,000 Xiliang iron horses, not to mention that thief had thousands of iron horses, my Sun family was born to be the nemesis of Xiliang horses, and he should be afraid of my Sun Ben."
Sun Ben was extremely confident, proud, and galloped to the north.
Han Dang saw that Sun Ben was so confident, and a trace of worry flashed across the old man's face, so he sent his henchmen and soldiers to Runan to report to the lord Sun Jian.
The main force of the besieging Sun army moved north, posing to meet the mink male cavalry.
To the north, the 8,000-foot cavalry led by Mink Xiong has been running for several days and has reached fifteen miles north of Biyang City.
Coming from afar, the soldiers were tired, and Diao Xiong was not in a hurry, so he immediately ordered to choose favorable terrain to go to the village, and the whole army rested and prepared for battle.
Next.
At dawn, the scouts sent out galloped back, reporting that the enemy's commander-in-chief, Sun Ben, had marched out of the camp with 15,000 troops, approaching in a mighty manner.
Hearing the urgent report, Diao Xiong sneered: "This Sun Ben knows that I have cavalry, and he dares to take the initiative to attack, and the surname Sun is really crazy." ”
"This Sun Ben has the style of his uncle, and when he followed Sun Jian, he made us lose the battle, which should not be underestimated." Xu Rong reminded.
"General Xu is right, I heard that this Sun Ben is also a martial artist, his 15,000 soldiers and horses, not the rabble of Yuan Shu, but the elite soldiers of the Sun family, and the Sun family is the best at fighting with cavalry, even if we have cavalry, we may not be able to fight head-to-head." Wen Ping also worried.
Diao Xiong was murderous, and resolutely said: "The more crazy Sun Ben is, the more I have to teach him a good lesson in this battle, so that Sun Jian can taste the pain of being defeated by my Diao Xiong again, I reminded him, tell him not to provoke me, otherwise, I will make him pay ten times the price!" ”
The enemy is crazy, and the mink male will be more crazy than them, this is the style of the mink male.
His self-confidence deeply shook the generals, and the generals' doubts were swept away, and their blood was ignited by him.
With the giant axe in hand, Diao Xiong took a deep breath and shouted: "Order the whole army, assemble the camp, and fight to the death with me!" ”
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The generals responded with emotion, the sound of hunting and killing, roaring, and the generals retreated.
Wen Ping and the others retired first, but Mink Xiong left his most trusted cavalryman Xu Rong behind and gave him some orders.
"The general's plan is very good, and he will definitely be able to deceive Sun Ben's kid." Xu Rong couldn't suppress the surprise in his eyes, and he rushed away.
In the mink barracks, the horn of the assembly sounded loudly, and 8,000 soldiers and horses came out of the camp one after another, and assembled outside the camp in an orderly manner.
The mink male turned over on his horse, stroking the giant axe, and hunting with pride in his heart.
This giant axe was made of the best fine iron after he returned to Wancheng, and it weighed 130 pounds, and was called "Chopping Yue Axe".
Today, he will sacrifice the blood of his enemies for the first time to this newly-born soldier.
If this battle is lost today, Sun Jian's army will drive straight into Nanyang, and Liu Biao, who is about to move, will also send troops again, and even Cao Cao, who has already reached a joint agreement, may also turn back and kill back to get a piece of the pie.
At that time, if you want to turn over, it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Bet everything, this battle, only win, not lose!
The heart is as decisive as iron, and the axe of Yue is raised, and the mink male said sharply: "The soldiers of my mink army, in today's battle, we will live and die together, and kill him happily!" ”
"Kill a pleasure-" Eight thousand soldiers echoed in unison, and the sound of killing made the heavens and the earth change color.
Without any further hesitation, the young man grabbed the horse's belly, dragged the axe and rode up, and the soldiers behind him lined up in a neat line, slowly marching in the direction of the enemy.
In the afternoon, when the scouts reported that the enemy was several miles away, Diao Xiong ordered the whole army to stop advancing and wait for the enemy.
The clouds were thick, and the heavens and the earth were desolate and slaughtering.
Mink Xiong sat on his crotch and looked south, but saw that at the end of the field, in the rolling dust and mist, a black line was slowly wriggling.
Tens of thousands of Sun Jinjun, the overwhelming tide of military flags, is approaching.
The ermine male sword eyebrows, calm as ice, his hand has secretly clenched the battle axe in his hand.
The pitch-black lines on the horizon became thicker, and the long horn came from afar, filled with a strong murderous aura.
Diao Xiong glanced at the soldiers behind him, although they were all nervous, there was not the slightest fear on their faces.
It seems that following Diao Xiong, they have the belief that they will win, and they will be fearless even in the face of the strongest enemy.
The earth was shaking, there was a rumbling sound in the eardrums, the yellow sky was against the dry field, and the wind was howling in the ears, scraping the face like a knife.
In the roar of rolling thunder, the image of the Sun family's army finally broke into view clearly.
The heads of people covered by dark clouds, the flags that covered the sky and the sun, the spears were like forests, and the armor reflected the cold light, almost wanting to reflect the cold of the sky.
The 15,000-strong Sun family legion, like a torrent ready to go, lined up with Li Xu's lineup and filled the field of vision ahead.
Diao Xiong was indifferent, his expression was still arrogant and arrogant, unmoved, the soldiers of the three armies were infected by it, and his slightly shaken mood soon calmed down.
In front of the enemy, under the banner of the word "Sun", Sun Ben jumped on his horse and crossed the spear, and his eyes were full of arrogance.
As a descendant of the soldier saint Sun Wu, it seems that every son of the Sun family has innate self-confidence, and on the battlefield, he dares not to take any enemy in his eyes.
Glancing at the Yuan Army's formation from a distance, Sun Ben smiled disdainfully: "Ermine Xiong, do you think that with the addition of thousands of soldiers and horses, you can compete with my Youzhou Army?" Hmph, today I will give you a good lesson, so that you can see how powerful my Sun Ben is! ”
"Attack with the whole army and crush the enemy thieves!"
Sun Ben drank arrogantly, full of arrogance, as if it was easy to defeat Diao Xiong and his army.
The sound of war drums rose to the sky, resounding through the heavens and the earth, and the Sun family army was in a roar, dozens of military formations of all sizes, and the black pressure was like a tide, advancing towards the mink army.
The officers and soldiers of the Mink Army immediately tensed up, and they all subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands.
In the formation of the Chinese army, Diao Xiong stood proudly like a green pine, facing the rolling enemy, his expression was as calm as ice.
The elite soldiers and horses trained by Sun Jian were really good, and they saw a military formation of 15,000 people, advancing steadily and in an orderly manner, and soon approached 500 paces away.
Looking at the enemy's formation, Wen Ping couldn't help but frown and said: "General, I look at the very orderly setting of the enemy formation, the front row opens the way with a large shield, the back row is a pikeman, there are crossbowmen in the middle, and both wings are equipped with light cavalry and spear and shield hands. ”
Diao Xiong did not have the slightest fear, but sneered: "Don't worry, I have my own strategy to disrupt the enemy's formation." ”
Only then did Wen Ping know that Diao Xiong had a countermeasure, and when he looked left and right, he saw that Xu Rong was missing, and he should have been sent out by Diao Xiong.
It's just that at the moment, the four thousand cavalry have all dismounted and are hiding in the infantry formation, and there are only a few hundred horses missing, even if Xu Rong is good at cavalry combat, how can a few hundred cavalry alone disrupt the enemy formation?
Wen Ping was worried in his heart, but the arrow was already on the string, and he had to send it, and it was useless to worry, so he could only hold the determination to fight to the death and prepare for a bloody battle.
At this moment, in the direction of the southwest corner of the enemy formation, a mutation protruded.
I saw the wild dust covering the sky, flying from the southwest direction, straight to the left wing of the Sun family's army, and in the sandstorm that rose to the sky, there were vaguely countless cavalry figures surging, so loud, it was like thousands of iron horses, rushing wildly.
In the sandstorm, the battle flag with the word "Xu", hunting and flying, is the iron cavalry army led by Xu Rong.
Wen Ping's body was shocked, and his eyes were instantly filled with suspicion and surprise, and he subconsciously turned around and looked at the middle of the army.
In order to hide the traces of the cavalry, Diao Xiong had ordered all the 4,000 cavalry to hide in the infantry formation, and now it seems that the 4,000 cavalry are still in the formation.
Since the main cavalry is here, where did the thousands of iron cavalry led by Xu Rong come from?
Did you conjure it out of thin air?
"General, what the hell is this......" Wen Ping looked at Diao Xiong in surprise and dazed, and couldn't wait to seek an answer.
The corners of Diao Xiong's mouth rose, and the young man's confident face revealed a treacherous sneer.
