Sun Jian was shot directly in the shoulder by a crossbow arrow, and blood flowed everywhere. He still ordered to continue attacking the enemy's defense line. However, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses led by Sun Jian were just ordinary elite soldiers. What they faced was the Jizhou Army's best in combat literacy and fighting will.
of the trapped troops and guards,
Even if they were not afraid of the impact of life and death, they would be killed by even more desperate enemies. In a short time, nearly 10,000 of the 30,000-strong army were killed.
"Father, I can't rush through."
Looking at the city wall built by the enemy with flesh and blood, Sun Ce also felt depressed. The enemy only had 20 to 30 thousand people, so why couldn't he defeat it?
"Hey, it is said that Jizhou's soldiers and horses are the best in the world. Now it seems that it is indeed true. These soldiers are much stronger than our soldiers and horses in terms of fighting ability and fighting will. It is difficult to break in, but we have to rush, otherwise
Once Yuan Shao comes out and sees that we haven't sent troops, I'm afraid they won't be able to accommodate us."
Sun Jian also knew that it was difficult and that he would not be able to get in. If he attacked, he would waste his troops in vain. However, he had to attack because this was the most important thing for him to do now.
"kill."
After finishing speaking, Sun Jian waved his ancient ingot sword and took the lead in charging forward again. Sun Ce and Han Dang also shook their heads slightly and continued to move forward following Sun Jian, while behind them were the remaining 20,000 soldiers.
"Formation,"
"Crossbow arrows, release."
"Archer, throw."
At the entrance of the valley, Sun Jian was blocked by Gao Shun and Dian Wei and could not move forward. The valley was in a mess.
This time Yuan Shu sent all the main troops. These were all veterans who had fought in all directions with Yuan Shu. They were able to fight with ease against the chaotic Yuan Shaojun.
Divide, gather and kill, divide again, gather and kill again. In a short time, except for the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses around Yuan Shao, the entire army of 20,000 to 30,000 in other places has been wiped out.
"The Euphorbia warriors, at the head of the group, charge forward and kill anyone who stands in the way."
Yuan Shao saw that the battle situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for him. Yuan Shao knew that he could not wait any longer, so he directly ordered the most elite Euphorbia warriors under his command to go out, and they were bound to fight a bloody path.
The Euphorbia Soldiers are an elite division built by Yuan Shao with all his strength in Nanyang. This elite group only has 5,000 people, but it has gathered the most powerful soldiers in Yuan Shao's army. They are all covered in iron armor and hold halberds. Although there are only 5,000
Although he was a man, he once easily defeated 20,000 friendly troops in a sparring match.
The Euphorbia soldiers formed a military formation and began to attack the front, while Yuan Shao was among the Euphorbia warriors and left with the army.
"Hold them off."
Yan Liang looked at the armored euphorbia warrior who appeared with a sharp look in his eyes. He had long heard that Yuan Shao had an absolutely elite one, and now he was finally going to face it head-on.
After receiving Yan Liang's military order, the soldiers who were encircling and suppressing the remnant army responded one after another and began to gather in front of the Euphorbia soldiers.
Yan Liang's main force is in the back half of the valley. There are only nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in the front. There are only the trapped troops and guards at the entrance of the valley. If they are killed by the Euphorbia soldiers, even with the advantages of the guards and trapped troops.
, it will also be difficult to face being attacked from two sides.
Although the army tried its best to stop them and caused considerable losses to the Euphorbia soldiers, Yuan Shao's troops still moved forward firmly towards the entrance of the valley with the Euphorbia soldiers clearing the way.
"Can't stop it,"
Xu Huang came to Yan Liang and frowned as he watched his soldiers being killed one by one by the Euphorbia soldiers like moths to the flame.
"Well, Yuan Shao's armored soldiers are very powerful."
Yan Liang nodded. Indeed, as Xu Huang said, under the crushing force of equipment, even if his soldiers and horses were brave, they could not stop the enemy.
"Since we can't stop it, then let the guards and the trapped troops move out of the way and let Yuan Shao leave?"
If the enemy cannot be stopped and is attacked from both sides by the Euphorbias and Sun Jian's troops outside the valley, the guards and trapped troops will suffer heavy losses. Instead of doing so, it would be better to simply let the enemy leave.
"Well, this is the only thing we can do now. Let the guards and trapped troops move out of the way. The army will turn towards the entrance. We must eat Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses outside the valley."
After hearing Xu Huang's words, Yan Liang was noncommittal. Since the possibility of keeping Yuan Shao was very low, it would be better to let him go and go and annihilate the troops he left outside the valley.
"Well, I'll go and deliver the order right away."
Soon Yan Liang's order spread to the trapped troops and guards.
"Open the channel?
Why?"
Hearing this order, Dian Wei couldn't help but frown. They had finally blocked Sun Jian out of the valley, and now they had to get out of the way.
"General Dian Wei, look behind you."
Just when Dian Wei was depressed, Gao Shun frowned and asked him to look behind him.
"later?"
When Dian Wei heard Gao Shun's words, he immediately turned his head and looked behind him. He saw a shout of killing coming from behind, and Yuan Shao's Euphorbia warriors were about to break out of the encirclement.
"Do you really want to get out of the way?"
Although Yuan Shao's troops were about to attack, Dian Wei obviously did not want to give up the good situation.
"Get out of the way. It's no longer easy to resist head-on. If Yuan Shao comes and kills us, we will suffer a lot of damage from two sides, and to a large extent, we will not be able to spare the opponent."
Gao Shun shook his head. Sun Jian on the opposite side kept attacking like a mad tiger, and Yuan Shao in the valley must have tried his best to break through. Being flanked by these two soldiers and horses, it was difficult to resist.
"Then get out of the way."
Dian Wei is not a person who doesn't know how to advance and retreat. If he can keep Yuan Shao, it will be worthwhile even if the loss is huge. But since Gao Shun said that he can't stop it, it is obviously inappropriate to put up more resistance.
"promise."
The Euphorbia warriors ran wildly, killing Yuan Shu's army in front of them regardless of casualties. They were about to rush to the defense line of the trapped troops and guards, but the soldiers and horses in front of them gave way to the passage and avoided both sides.
"Don't be obsessed with fighting, hurry, hurry, break out of the siege."
The enemy did not stop him, Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel excited and roared loudly.
Although the Euphorbias are elite, they are unparalleled in the field because of their armor. However, their disadvantage is that the armor is too heavy. They can break through the enemy's line in a short battle. Once they fall into a long and fierce battle, these armors will become a burden for them, causing serious delays.
their actions,
After exhaustion, they become lambs to be slaughtered, waiting to be slaughtered by the enemy.
Although this section of the mountain road is not far away, it also consumes a lot of physical strength for Euphorbia. If there is a fierce battle here, he is really afraid that he will be left behind by the enemy.
"kill."
When Sun Jian saw that the enemy in front of him had become loose, he was delighted and led his troops to attack again.
The enemy that was still like a city wall broke through this time, and then took cover alternately and began to retreat backwards.
"Father, look, Euphorbia."
When Sun Jian was confused, Sun Ce's sharp eyes saw the Euphorbia warriors rushing towards him.
"No wonder it's like this, retreat and get out of the way."
Seeing the appearance of the Euphorbias, Sun Jian finally understood why the enemy wanted to open the passage. If they faced a double attack from himself and Yuan Shao, failure was inevitable. Instead of doing so, they might as well open the passage and let Yuan Shao fight with him.
"My lord, this is Sun Jian."
Zhang Xun was overjoyed when he saw Sun Jian and others appearing in front of him, and quickly reported to Yuan Shao.
