On September 19, the sixth year of Zhongping, Sun Jian led 7,000 main forces to arrive ten miles south of Yangxia County, echoing the county seat, Cheng Pu left a force to continue to surround the county seat, and he led the main force to slowly approach Sun Jian's troops.

For being able to face off with the old master on the battlefield, Cheng Pu was nervous and excited.

Sun Jian didn't have so many thoughts, only strong anger.

When he learned that the commander of the opposing army was Cheng Pu, Sun Jian's anger immediately soared to the peak, and he immediately set off as an army to support Sun Jing, and said that he would take off Cheng Pu's head and use it as a night pot.

"This shameless man who betrayed me is now clinging to Liu Bei, the traitor, and he is rising step by step! But this is where he is buried! ”

Sun Jian looked at the war map with red eyes, thinking about the tactics of putting Cheng Pu to death.

Sun Ce, who went out with the army, was fifteen years old, young and vigorous, and heard Sun Jian say many times that Cheng Pu was disloyal and betrayed to Sun Jian, so he was naturally full of hatred for Cheng Pu, so he immediately asked for battle.

"The traitor Cheng Pu betrayed his father and was in cahoots with Liu Thief, and his son is willing to invite soldiers to be the vanguard, kill this fang for his father, and take his head to sacrifice to his father!"

Looking at his son's heroic appearance, Sun Jian was quite pleased.

"My son is heroic, where can Cheng Pu compare? So good, then take my son as the vanguard, go straight to the dog thief's middle army, and take his head! ”

On the night before the war, Sun Jian and Sun Ce, father and son, made a decision to take revenge.

Sun Jian knew that his son was very similar to himself, brave and brave, and Sun Jian was very happy to have such a son.

It just happened that this time gave Sun Ce a chance to perform, so that Sun Ce could establish prestige in his army and prepare for the cultivation of a successor.

Cheng Pu didn't know the decision of the father and son, he only knew that when facing Sun Jian, he needed to go all out and not be soft in the slightest.

Therefore, when facing the line the next day, he concentrated all the main elites under his command as the Chinese army and assault troops, and Sun Jian and Sun Ce were the same, concentrating the Jiangdong soldiers and Huaisi elites as the main force of the assault, and the Runan soldiers and Chen Guo's troops recruited by Yuan Shu were the cannon fodder for the forward rush.

This is the case in most normal wars, where cannon fodder is dressed in simple clothes and has poor weapons, and rookies peck each other in front, fighting to the death, and a small number of elites are concentrated to attack the opponent's weak points, and if they succeed, they win, and if they fail, they are defeated.

In the current era, only Liu Bei is able and willing to spend a lot of money to arm every soldier, so that these guys who are regarded as cannon fodder can become the main combat force, and they can complete the reverse thrust and assault themselves without the need for a small number of elite assaults.

It can be said that everyone is an elite, and everyone is the main force.

Liu Bei is willing, very willing.

But at the moment, Cheng Pu doesn't have this condition, he can only retrieve his long-term memory, let the soldiers of Chen Liujun and Liang Guo become cannon fodder for the forward, and peck each other with the cannon fodder rookies on Sun Jian's side, and keep the three thousand elites of his headquarters and be ready to assault at any time.

On the other hand, Sun Jian's plan was the same, he told Sun Ce to be cautious and ready to surprise at any time.

So the rookies were pecking each other here, and over there, Cheng Pu and Sun Ce each led the assault elite to start the operation.

Really to compare, Sun Jian's Jiangdong and Huaisi elites are still relatively good at fighting, their armor and weapons are far better than other troops, Sun Jian has equipped them with weapons looted from Chen State, and they belong to a first-class strong army, and their strength is comparable to the previous Luoyang Northern Army.

But Sun Jian and Sun Ce obviously didn't know that Liu Bei had made a wave of updates and iterations on the production of weapons and armor when he was in Liangzhou, so the three thousand elites led by Cheng Pu were unique in the world in terms of weapons and equipment.

In terms of the quality of soldiers, the soldiers on Sun Jian's side are strong in the personal quality of the soldiers, while Cheng Pu's subordinates are strong in technical and tactical coordination.

There is no way, Sun Jian's recruitment of recruits has not been long ago, and he has not had time to engage in any serious training.

However, because of local factors, the people in the land of Huaisi and Jiangdong have always been more martial, and they have been mingling with Shanyue and other ethnic groups for many years, and they are full of martial virtues, such as the world-famous Danyang soldiers, which are from Jiangdong, full of martial virtues, and brave and good at fighting.

Individual competitions and small-scale team battles, the army under Sun Jian is rampant all over the world, and it is generally difficult to find opponents.

However, they met the main combat battalion under Cheng Pu - the main combat battalion from Sanhe veterans, and it was the absolute main force under Liu Bei.

As a result, the exquisite technical and tactical coordination between the soldiers of this army and the blow to Sun Ce, a battlefield recruit facing the storm, had a very great impact.

Sun Ce is a fiery temper, restless when he was a child, a parasitic person, belongs to the famous prison talents in his hometown, and perfectly inherited his aggressive genes of his prison father, and has a lot of the feeling of a street fighter when Liu Bei was young.

Should I say it or not, Liu Bei is a street fighter, and Sun Ce also has a nickname, called Xiaobawang.

It's not a pure overlord, but it's also a bit of a bully.

In the past, when he fought with his friends, Sun Ce charged forward with indomitable movements, very fierce.

He thought that the enemy he encountered this time was similar, so he rushed and punched at the beginning, trying to take Cheng Pu's head in waves to make Sun Jian happy.

But he soon found out that he was wrong, and he was more wrong.

He can't rush!

He led a small number of elite assault cavalry in the army to charge, but he could not rush, so he had no choice but to retreat and discuss other tactics.

He thought that the number of sudden riders should be small, so he couldn't rush.

So he simply dismounted and fought on foot, and led the brave Jiangdong soldiers to form a formation to attack.

As a result, it still can't be rushed.

Whether it is cavalry or foot combat, the opposing army is as immobile as a mountain, and the coordination is exquisite, no matter how they fight, they cannot push this army back, but they are desperately resisted by them, and they push back in turn.

Sun Ce was surprised by this, and Sun Jian, who was on the battlefield in the distance to observe the situation on the battlefield, was also a little surprised.

Can the impact of the absolutely elite soldiers under his command be contained? Will it be pushed back?

It is no exaggeration to say that Sun Jian felt that the combat effectiveness of this subordinate army under his command was the strongest among Yuan Shu's many armies, even Yuan Shu's own personal guards might not be able to defeat them head-on, but in the face of the army brought by Cheng Pu, he couldn't succeed?

How much does Liu Bei value this traitor? Actually give him so many resources to train such a strong army?

Sun Jian was even more annoyed.

But soon he couldn't be annoyed and angry in the rear, because Sun Ce's side was obviously not stable, and it seemed that there was a possibility of overturning!

After Cheng Pu and the Sanhe veterans withstood Sun Ce's impact, he almost tested the elite strength of Sun Jian's department, and he had a bottom in his heart, so he beat the drum and cheered, ordered the army to move forward and start attacking.

Sun Ce's department was stiffened by the front of the military formation of the Sanhe veterans, and suddenly there were some signs that he couldn't resist in a hurry.

This made Sun Jian unable to sit still.

He was not calm about his son at all, so he could only immediately lead his elite personal guards to join the battle group, attack Cheng Pu's military formation, and cover Sun Ce's department.

The battle fell into a stalemate, and the two strong armies fought bloodily for an afternoon, fighting until the sun set, and then they each withdrew their troops and retreated.

In this battle, Sun Jian and Sun Ce, father and son, could be regarded as appreciating the ability of the strong army under Liu Bei, and they also put away a little contempt for Cheng Pu and began to become cautious.

Cheng Pu also realized the strong combat effectiveness of Sun Jian, Sun Ce's father and son, as well as the impact of the elite soldiers under their command.

After that, for three consecutive days, Sun Jian and Sun Ce, father and son, both took the initiative to attack and tried to break Cheng Pu's blockade of Yangxia City, but they were unsuccessful.

In the context of the comprehensive retreat of Yuan Shu's department, Cheng Pu failed to completely defeat the army of Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and his son, but only a draw.

However, this is not important, Yuan Shu's troops have all retreated, and only Sun Jian's team is more capable of fighting, and it cannot save the situation.

For example, Liu Bei's side, when Sun Jian and Cheng Pu were fighting bloody battles, they had already advanced to the Shenting area north of Pingyu County.
