Regardless of Zhang Liao and Pang Tong. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are all terrible people; whether it is Xu Shu, Li Tiezhu, or Sun Quan, Zhou Tai and other generals, they all feel that Lao Tzu is the best in the world. These heroes and heroes suddenly gathered in the small space of Xuzhou, and if they didn't touch some sparks, how could they be worthy of the fierce and fiery long river that they poured into their throats?

When the two sides negotiated and decided on an agreement to compete three times in a row, they immediately alarmed Zhao Xing, who was far away in Crouching Tiger City, and Sun Jian, who was in Wu County. Zhao Xing's instructions were very simple: "You must take Jiangdong's face into account, don't win three games in a row, at least let Sun Ce win one small victory." "There is no competition yet, the king of Pingxi is so confident that the Xuzhou army can win three big victories, and the opponent is led by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu! Sun Jian's order is also quite interesting, he told Sun Ce not only to play the momentum of Jiangdong's children, but also to take care of Zhang Liao's face, and not to provoke this "smiling tiger".

Since the eldest brother and the second brother were to be separated through the competition, the Xuzhou Legion and the Jiangdong Legion attached great importance to it from top to bottom, not only carried out layers of ideological mobilization, but also urgently dispatched the most top-notch soldiers among the men and horses of each department, and formed three teams of 1,000 people to cooperate with the drill, vowing to let the other party taste their own strength.

According to the rules agreed between the two sides, the locations of the three battles were set up in the mountains, the cities and the lakes, and each legion sent 2,000 men to participate in the battle each time, and the soldiers who had already fought one were not allowed to appear in the next one. It can be seen from the setting of the location of the competition that Zhang Liao fully considered the advantages of the Jiangdong Army this time, and very generously did not put forward the most favorable requirement of fighting on the plain.

Everyone knows that the most powerful thing under Zhang Liao's command is the dragoon, if you choose to fight on the plain, with the horses and equipment of the Jiangdong cavalry, it is impossible to defeat the long-famous dragoon army anyway.

The battlefield environment that the Jiangdong Army is better at is mainly water warfare and mountain and jungle warfare. There are many rivers and lakes in the Jiangdong area, and the children of Jiangdong have been soaked in the water since they were children, and their water quality is the best in the Han states. In the southern part of Wuzhou, especially in the vicinity of Jiaozhou, there are many mountains and jungles, and in order to suppress the rebellions of various ethnic groups in Shanyue one after another, Sun Jian naturally wanted to train a large number of troops who were good at jungle warfare.

As for fighting in the city and in the streets, this is also the next step for the two armies to attack Nanyang and capture Yuan Shu.

Zhang Liao did not propose a cavalry battle on the plain terrain, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot of losses, but he had vaguely seen signs of grinning in Xu Shu, Li Tiezhu and others. Sun Ce only thought that the navy army in Jiangdong was powerful, but how could he have ever seen the methods of the sailors stationed at the Yuzhou Mountain Military Port? Sun Ce thought that the troops he personally brought to the southern mountains to carry out jungle warfare were very powerful, and how could he have seen the methods of the special operations division of the Xiong Zhen army to encircle and suppress the Goguryeo people in the northeast region? Sun Ce felt that the brave would win when they met on a narrow road in the city, so how could he know that every armored soldier of the Xiong Zhen army's heavy infantry division was a small bulldozer?

From this point of view, King Pingxi, who is far away in Crouching Tiger City, repeatedly reminded Zhang Liao to take care of the feelings of Sun Ce, the "little overlord" in Jiangdong, and not to win three big games, which also makes some sense.

The agreed time for the battle is coming in a blink of an eye, and the first thing is that the two sides send 2,000 soldiers to seize a mountain near Huailing, and the side that can reach the top of the mountain first and hold on for two hours is the winner.

The Xuzhou Legion sent 2,000 Xiong Zhen soldiers led by Xu Shu and Ye Xiong, while the Jiangdong Legion sent 2,000 infantry led by Zhou Yu and Ding Feng.

On the surface, Xu Shu and Zhou Yu belong to the wise generals and have weak forces, while Ye Xiong and Ding Feng are military generals, half a catty and eight taels. But in fact, Xu Shu is "Wen Zhaoyun", his martial arts are a few points more powerful than the second-rate military general Ding Feng, and even more powerful than Wen Xian's Mei Zhou Lang, if the two of them fight together, it must be Zhou Yu who suffers. As for the veteran Ye Xiong to deal with the young general Ding Feng, don't look at Ye Xiong is now over forty years old, that big knife is not rusty, and it is not necessarily a little weaker against Sun Ce.

The mountain selected by the two sides, called Jiashan, is thirty miles southwest of Huailing City, and only more than thirty miles away from Zhongli in Yangzhou.

After several earth-shattering cannon shots, Xu Shu led the charge from the north of Jiashan, and Zhou Yu led the charge from the south of Jiashan.

Although Jiashan is not very tall, it is also a series of mountains and ravines, which is very convenient for thousands of soldiers to hide. Zhou Yu and Xu Shu had already come here in advance to conduct battlefield reconnaissance, and they knew in their hearts that instead of rushing up the mountain to blow the cold wind in one go, and then guarding the top of the mountain where there was no danger to rely on, waiting for the other party to surround and attack, it was better to use the terrain of the ravines and ravines here to wipe out the other party in the mountains and forests. If the opponent is eliminated, he can easily occupy the top of the mountain for two hours.

The two troops, who are also rich in mountain and jungle warfare, enter the dense forest and play a game of hide and seek. They are equipped with compasses, light binoculars and crossbows for close combat, wearing military uniforms of the same color as the jungle, and also equipped with hunting dogs with extremely sensitive sense of smell and hearing. On the other hand, Zhou Yu's side, although it also acted quickly and strangely, without these advanced equipment and advanced tactics as a supplement, the overall combat power would fall straight behind.

In the first battle, the final result was no suspense, Xu Shu personally caught Zhou Yu hiding in the tree hole, and the veteran Ye Xiong beat Ding Feng with a blue nose and swollen face, Xiong Zhenjun did not wait for the two thousand soldiers in Jiangdong to climb to the top of the mountain, and all of them were "hunted" in the jungle, and their "casualties" were only thirty percent.

Zhou Yu was convinced, and he said to Sun Ce: "The other party's actions are erratic, his whereabouts are like ghosts, whether it is eyesight, hearing and hearing, they are far above our side, and it is not unjust to lose this battle." ”

After losing the first battle, Sun Ce was a little anxious, so he was anxious to save face in the second battle, so he hurriedly sent Sun Quan and Zhou Tai to lead two thousand naval troops to fight on a lake between Huailing and Jiashan.

Since it was a temporary location, it was impossible for both sides to drive large warships into the inland lake, so they had to make small wooden rafts and bamboo rafts on the fly. It is easy to find materials for making wooden rafts and bamboo rafts, so you can go to the top of Jiashan and cut some to use.

In the past, the Jin State had asked for a large number of shipwrights from Wuzhou and Yangzhou, which made Sun Quan feel that the shipbuilding technology of the Jin army was far inferior to that of Jiangdong, especially since it was not easy to suddenly build wooden rafts and bamboo rafts for 2,000 soldiers on the lake under Jiashan. And the first thing to do in naval warfare is to have roots under your feet, and you can't fall into the water to fight, right?

It's a pity that Sun Quan was disappointed again this time. The two thousand soldiers of the Xuzhou Legion did not know where to find them, not only familiar with the water, but also very good at making rafts and bamboo rafts, not only very strong, but also knew how to use sails.

A few more cannon shots, and the second water battle began.

Before the fight, Zhang Liao had secretly explained to the two thousand brothers who were urgently transferred from the Yuzhoushan Military Port that this battle should not only be won, but also win beautifully, and cut Jiangdong's face fiercely. Zhang Liao's insistence is reasonable, if he wins two big games in a row, and then deliberately loses to Jiangdong in the third game, with the IQ of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, he naturally understands that this is the Xuzhou army to save face for them. Moreover, winning in the mountain and water battles that Koto thought he was good at would be able to impress the generals and soldiers of Koto even more psychologically.

The brothers of the Fen Milling Battalion have been worrying about not being able to go south with Admiral Tai Shici recently, and suddenly they have this beauty difference in training, and they all want to sign up for the battlefield competition. In the end, Zhang Liao really had no choice but to draw lots and select 2,000 people from among the 5,000 officers and soldiers to make a special trip to participate in this water "amusement games."

If it is said that the Jiangdong Water Division is led by Sun Quan and Zhou Tai, it is indeed not weak, especially Zhou Tai, a guy born as a water bandit, is really good at kung fu on the water. If they had met other sailors, they would have won, and they would have won big. It's a pity that this time Sun Quan and Zhou Tai met the Jin State Sailors who had been training in the turbulent waves all year round, so without any suspense, the second battle still ended with a big victory for the Xuzhou Army.

After losing two games in a row, there is actually no need to compete again. But Sun Ce is a face-saving person after all, and if he doesn't compare with the third game, not only does he seem short of breath, but he is also sorry for the soldiers of the third team who have worked hard to prepare for the battle. So Sun Ce stiffened his neck and personally led 2,000 elite infantry to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the 2,000 brothers of the Heavy Infantry Division led by Lei Tong in a section of the streets and alleys in Huailing City.

Zhang Liao, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others, who were standing at the head of the city watching the battle, watched the two thousand elites led by Sun Ce rush towards Lei Tong like they were desperate. Zhang Liao said to everyone: "Sun Bofu really has two shots, just in terms of this bravery, he really has the heroic appearance of the third brother when he first debuted. ”

Xu Shu nodded and agreed: "If I don't want to frustrate his courage, I won't just send Lei Tong out to meet him this time, and directly let General Ye go out, which is definitely enough for the eldest son of the Sun family to drink a pot!"

Zhang Liao laughed, and then said: "It's really difficult for you, even if you let Sun Ce, you can't lose ugly." In case Lei Tong goes crazy and wins Sun Ce again, how can it be good?"

Xu Shu replied without thinking: "It's better to win, and it also makes the Jiangdong soldiers understand in their hearts how big the gap between them and us is, so that they will always chirp crookedly in the future!"
