"General, Yuan Shu's troops have already left the camp and set up their formation."
Cheng Pu led several cavalrymen and rode up to Sun Jian to report the news he had received.
"Haha, Yuan Shu is really tough. Since he wants to fight clearly, then fight him until he collapses. Instruct the whole army to speed up and give me one round to defeat them."
"promise,"
The same scene also happened in Zhu Jun and Huang Zu's phalanx.
,
"General Huang Zu, let's attack in parallel. I have few soldiers. If I can't take down Yuan Shu's rear army in the first round, I may be passive."
Although Zhu Jun was the leader of the rear army, he could not directly let Huang Zu take the lead, so he came up with the idea of attacking in parallel.
"Well, I understand."
Huang Zu also nodded, and he still agreed with Zhu Jun's words. If he really had to take the lead, he would definitely not be willing to do so. Attacking in parallel would be the best result.
Zhu Jun and Huang Zu's soldiers and horses changed from a long snake to two dragons playing with pearls. The two troops, two scissors, attacked Yuan Shu's rear formation.
"Lord, it's clear from the flags. There are Sun Jian and Yuan Shao's Zhang Xun's troops in Lu County, and the rear troops are the troops of General Zhu Jun and Huang Zu. I think we can transfer General Xu Huang to the front troops to cooperate with General Dian Wei to attack Sun Jian.
, there is no need for a general to be in charge of the rear team, old General Zhu Jun is enough."
Through the flag, Tian Feng had determined the composition of the two troops at the front and rear, so he proposed that Xu Huang be transferred to the front team to fight with Dian Wei against Sun Jian. After all, Sun Jian was known as the Tiger of Jiangdong and had Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han Dang under his command.
As a general, if the defense is not in place, Sun Jian is likely to break through.
"Well, immediately send Xu Huang to the front line, and order Gao Shun to direct the battle in the rear line. Pay attention to sending a few people to keep an eye on him. He is seriously injured and cannot be allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy."
Yuan Shu nodded. Ji Ling and Gao Shun fought with Zhang Fei and both sides lost. Now Ji Ling has been sent to Jizhou for training. Gao Shun wanted to send him away according to Yuan Shu's wishes, but Gao Shun insisted on staying.
"promise."
After a while, Xu Huang rode his horse to fight with Dian Wei, while Gao Shun came to the rear team with injuries and was responsible for commanding the trapping army and the Yokoye army here.
"Kill Yuan Shu and save Yanzhou."
"Kill Yuan Shu and save Yanzhou."
"Kill Yuan Shu and save Yanzhou."
Sun Jian took the lead and charged directly towards Yuan Shu's army. Behind him were 20,000 elite Jiangdong Tiger Division troops from his direct lineage, and behind him were 50,000 elite Nanyang troops brought by Zhang Xun.
"Trebuchet, prepare shotgun."
"Five consecutive rounds, let go."
Now that he knew the composition of the enemy, Yuan Shu naturally placed all the trebuchet support on Sun Jian. After all, Zhu Jun was in the rear, and it would be bad if one of his own was injured.
Stone bullets the size of fists rose into the air and hit Sun Jian's troops like hail.
"Shield, defense."
"Crossbowmen prepare to counterattack."
Cheng Pu, as a military captain, gave the order directly.
Countless shields sprung up above the army's heads, and at the same time powerful crossbows were cocked. As soon as they entered the attack range, they would launch the most violent attack on Yuan Shu's army.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
Sun Jian had never fought against Yuan Shu and did not have a talented engineer like Gong Yechang. He did not know how to customize a special soft shield for defense.
The first wave of stone bullets hit the shields with a dull sound, and some shields were even cracked, but before they could react, the second wave of stone bullets had already hit them head-on.
"Ah, the shield was smashed."
"My legs, my legs."
"Fuck, my nickname was smashed to death."
Sun Jianjun faced Yuan Shu's rain of stone bullets and was hit with blood all over the ground. The middle piece was like a lamp, all of which went out.
"Fuck, is Yuan Shu so violent?
No wonder Liu Bei was beaten so badly."
Sensing the intensity of Yuan Shu's firepower, Sun Jian couldn't help but scratch his head. The rain of stone bullets did not distinguish whether you were a general or a soldier. Even his horse, which was unable to dodge, was hit with a broken head and died tragically on the spot.
"General, his trebuchet is a long-range weapon. As long as we can break through this block and get close to their camp, the trebuchet will be useless."
Cheng Pu was next to Sun Jian. Although the trebuchet was very powerful, its main function was to attack the city. The siege required long range and strong firepower, but this made him much weaker in close support.
"Well, order the troops to continue advancing regardless of casualties."
Sun Jian nodded to Cheng Pu and ordered the army to speed up.
Sun Jian's army was very strong in execution. Although he suffered heavy casualties under the rain of stones and bullets, he still followed Sun Jian and charged towards Yuan Shu's army.
"Crossbowman, get ready and release it when you get within range."
"promise."
Dian Wei gave an order, and the crossbowmen who were already ready raised their powerful crossbows, ready to attack at any time.
"put."
"put."
Sun Jian's army entered the range of Jinnu, and both sides did not hesitate and gave the order to release directly to their crossbowmen.
In one moment, thousands of crossbows fired in volley, and countless crossbow arrows soared into the sky and shot toward each of them.
"The crossbowmen return to the formation, and the shields stand."
Dian Wei knew the quality of his opponent, so he directly raised the shield without any delay.
"Shield, shield."
Cheng Pu did the same and directly ordered the shield hand to move forward.
For a moment, the sky was filled with the clashing sounds of shields and crossbows, like rain hitting banana trees, overwhelming them.
"Archer, prepare to shoot."
"Archer, prepare to shoot."
The instructions of both sides were exactly the same. The archers in the middle of the army drew their bows one after another, but there was one difference between the two. Sun Jian's army was on the march, but Yuan Shu was in freeze mode, which made the firepower of both of them lower.
There are quite a few deviations.
"Ten rounds, let go."
"Bow and arrow, five shots in a row, fire."
Sure enough, the instructions from both sides were released. On one side, Yuan Shu could fire ten consecutive rounds, while on the other side, Sun Jian could only fire five consecutive rounds. This was the gap.
A continuous rain of arrows rose into the sky and poured into both camps like a heavy rain. But the difference was that Yuan Shu's shield covered the sky and the sun, basically protecting his soldiers and horses from too much damage.
It was different with Sun Jian, because their shields had already suffered extensive damage when dealing with the rain of stone bullets, and they were somewhat unable to cope with the rain of arrows.
Watching the soldiers being killed by arrows falling from the sky, Sun Jian's eyes turned blood-red. These were the elites he brought from Jiangdong, but now they shed their blood on the land of Yanzhou for the sake of his high-ranking official and generous salary.
How could he not hate them? He didn't want to come, but he had to come, so all he could do now was to penetrate Yuan Shu's defense with boundless hatred and drive them out of Yanzhou.
"Where's Huang Gai? Kill him. Kill him for me. What are the cavalry waiting for if they don't charge now?"
