Chapter 88 Critical Situation

But he said that the general under Sun Jian who responded to the challenge was not an ordinary person. Although he was not Sun Jian's original direct subordinate, he was also a ruthless man who followed Sun Jian from the beginning of the fight against the rebellion. At the beginning, he was just a relatively ordinary person.

He was only a corps commander, but with his bravery, he was promoted by Sun Jian all the way up. Finally, he was promoted by Sun Jian to serve as an important general position in the most elite troops around him. He can be regarded as one of the most trusted people by Sun Jian.

.

So when Sun Jian saw that he was the one who offered to fight, he just went down the slope and no longer forced himself to continue fighting. This general actually has a large proportion of Qiang and Hu blood. Although his face looks a bit like a Han, his overall appearance

His body shape is not that of a Han Chinese at all, and his tone of voice and personality also have obvious Qiang and Hu characteristics.

Of course, this is normal in this era. Using Qiang and Hu to control Qiang and Hu has almost become a basic national policy of the Eastern Han Dynasty for a long time. Many policies of the Southern Xiongnu and Xiliang are also of this kind.

manifestation of the situation.

However, although this partially alleviated the difficulty of border defense for the Eastern Han central government, it also laid many hidden dangers. The expanding border rebellions in recent years are a manifestation of the escalation of this problem. However, the Eastern Han Dynasty has already

It is no longer able to make fundamental changes. When the country's territory is too large, many problems will sometimes arise. Especially in such an era when transportation and information transmission are extremely difficult, the central government controls the entire huge empire.

It needs to rely on the centralized power system established by Qin Shihuang and then inherited and gradually improved by the Han Dynasty.

Although the Han Dynasty inherited the unified and centralized political system of the Qin Dynasty, it also partially retained the enfeoffment system of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Ling and others implemented a series of policies to dismantle the power of the feudal princes. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this feudal system had actually existed in name only, and the power of many remaining feudal princes was already very weak.

However, in this case, the centralized power based on the county system in the Eastern Han Dynasty was not completely established. There were various problems and deficiencies in many places. The real central power in ancient China

The maturity of centralization will have to wait until the Ming Dynasty more than a thousand years later. At that time, the unified dynasty under the true sense of centralization will be complete.

It is a pity that by that time, the Western world had gradually emerged from the haze of the Middle Ages and entered a new era through the Renaissance. However, the Ming and Qing dynasties of China reached their peak due to this unified centralization of power, thus becoming incompatible with the entire West and even the

It was separated from the development of the entire world and gradually embarked on a path of isolation.

Now the generals from both sides are coming forward. The general on Sun Jian's side is very tall and mighty, with a typical tiger general build. However, what is slightly lacking is that his left hand was seriously injured in the previous battle. This makes

His combat ability has declined somewhat, and he is no longer able to use weapons with both hands equally as before the injury.

The general sent by Han Sui was also a burly Qiang general, but his face was very fierce, especially his eyes were like a wolf and tiger, and he had a terrifying feeling that he wanted to eat people alive.

If a person saw him like this, they would be frightened to the point of weakness in an instant. If a child saw him like this, they would probably be frightened to the point of crying.

The two generals spread out in front of the two armies, exchanged some trash talk about greeting their respective ancestors, and then began to fight each other unceremoniously. The general on Han Sui's side was extremely fierce, and he used both hands to fight each other.

A huge tomahawk. Unlike ordinary generals who like to use long-handled weapons, this guy can actually swing a two-handed ax with one hand, and he can also constantly switch the tomahawk back and forth between his left hand and right hand.

His strength is really terrifying.

The generals sent out by Sun Jian were still holding the more commonly used halberds. He originally planned to use the halberd's advantage in attack distance to start the battle, but he soon discovered that the opponent's attack was too brave.

, he is simply unable to parry. The most critical point is that his left hand cannot fully exert its force, which makes it difficult for him to directly receive the opponent's attack.

He didn't dare to hit the opponent head-on, so he had to avoid its edge and look for opportunities to use the attack distance to stab the opponent directly to death. However, there were not many opportunities left for him, so he had to seize them as much as possible.

When Sun Jian saw the battle in front of the formation, he couldn't help but feel a little irritable, because he could clearly see that the generals on his side were at a disadvantage. The other side's generals looked too fierce, even if they saw him from a distance, they would

It makes people feel a kind of fear involuntarily.

Many of the soldiers in Sun Jian's formation had expressions of uncontrollable panic on their faces, and Sun Jian saw all of this, and he said to himself that the attack today seemed to be not going well.

Sun Jian soon discovered that the situation was not just unsatisfactory. His generals did not seize the opportunity to kill the opponent. Instead, Han Sui's generals struck him directly on the head with a big axe, and his whole body was knocked down.

It was about to be split in half, and immediately ran out of breath after falling off the horse.

Han Sui was overjoyed and began to ask Sun Jian in front of the battle if he wanted to send generals to fight. Sun Jian was very angry, but he had no idea what to do. Now that he had regained consciousness, he knew that he might not be able to catch Han Sui's men if he went up.

After the tiger general's few moves, the morale of the entire army had been shaken, and Sun Jian couldn't help but feel some intention of retreating.

Seeing that Sun Jian was silent, Han Sui waved his hand and ordered the whole army to charge towards Sun Jian. The Xiliang cavalry was mainly led by the Xiliang cavalry, but the number of Xiliang cavalry on Han Sui's side was obviously greater than that on Sun Jian's side.

At the beginning, this situation did not seem very obvious, but soon Sun Jian discovered that the number of enemies rushing out of Yunwu City was too many.

Sun Jian's side was mainly composed of cavalry, so he immediately ordered a retreat and not to engage in a head-on confrontation with Han Sui's troops. Although the retreat might result in certain non-combat casualties, at least a certain amount of effective strength could be preserved.

Seeing Sun Jian's retreat, Han Sui personally led his army to cover him up from behind. As Sun Jian was retreating, he was surprised to find that many more Xiliang cavalry were coming out of the mountains beside him. These were the troops that Han Sui had killed early in the morning.

The Xiliang cavalry deployed in the mountains now happened to come out halfway and was about to block Sun Jian's path.
