Chapter 25 Bear’s gall is worth the light of the sword
When Sun Jian saw that Han Dang's troops had successfully entered the enemy's formation, he couldn't help but be a little surprised and a little hesitant. Logically speaking, the Liang people had more cavalry, so they should send more knights to fight Han Dang. However, something unexpected happened, so
He thought anxiously: "Ah! Could it be that Thief Dong has some conspiracy?" Therefore, Sun Jian paused for a moment and did not press the Chinese army closely, but continued to wait and see the battle situation of Han Dang's troops.
But as the war further developed, Sun Jian reacted keenly: Dong Zhuo's rear group had not yet completed the formation! This news made him excited and excited, but it did not show on his face. Instead, Sun Jian used a cold tone to urge
The ordering soldier said: "Knock on the drum."
Most of the soldiers under Sun Jian's command were new soldiers years ago, but after half a year of training by Sun Jian, they were only as good as the elites because they were watered with blood. At this time, they formed a square formation and looked at the battle in the distance, feeling uneasy, but
The chest tide was surging again due to the killing cry in front. At this time, the sound of twenty large drums suddenly blew up and down the hill like a heavy rain, beating into the eardrums of the soldiers.
At this time, a knight rode down the mountain quickly, passed through the crowd, and shouted loudly: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers' eyes followed him closely, and they shouted involuntarily: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" This killing sound was simple and loud, following the fast horse, forming an undulating sound wave in the battle formation.
The main force of the army finally began to move, turning from still to slow to fast. Sun Jian also rode down the mountain, but he was in the military formation and still seemed to be on the mountain, but the mountain peak moved with him.
In the large battle formation ahead, Han Dang and Li Jue were fighting hard. Han Dang chopped off Li Jue's saber, and Li Jue killed Han Dang's mount with his backhand, so that Han Dang had to replace it with another equally tall horse.
Huang Pingma, but the two fought for half an hour, neither of them could break through the defense of the other's armor, and they had to admit in their hearts that the other was the best warrior in the world.
Seeing Sun Jian's main force advancing, Li Jue no longer struggled with Han Dang. His horses were better than Han Dang's, and Han Dang couldn't catch up with him. The four knights in front of him gathered together and tried to flank him.
Li Jue ignored the sword and leaned down to grab the horse's neck. The disguised horse neighed loudly, like an eagle's cry. The horsemen were shocked, but their mounts were blindfolded and ears plugged, and they still ran forward regardless, fighting against this horse.
The costumed horses collided with each other, and one after another was knocked over by Li Jue. Li Jue straightened up. He didn't dare to stop, and he felt a bit of regret in his heart: He shouldn't have been entrusted to this extent.
But the price of underestimating the Jing people will be paid by the whole army.
Just when he was about to regroup, at the same moment, the white arrow feathers of the Jing people were like flying snow flakes, flying past him one after another, hitting Liang Ren's cut cavalry, killing them in pieces.
He landed on the ground and hit the smoke and dust filled with horse hooves.
After withstanding the first wave of arrow feathers, the Liang people clamped their spears and drew their bows on their horses to fight back. Since the Jing people rushed up against the arrow feathers, it was easier for the Liang people's sharp arrows to penetrate them and their mounts.
Breastplate. Rows of armor-piercing arrows knocked down the people in front of them one by one like hail. Many knights had to rein in their horses to avoid the fallen people and horses in front, which slowed them down.
Military Sima Zhu Zhi was originally supervising the battle among the cavalry. Unknowingly, he rode his horse to the front of the cavalry. He loudly encouraged and said: "Han Sima is fighting in front! Are we going to fall behind others?" So he took a
With a long sword, he charged towards the enemy formation with his followers.
Zhu Zhi was a county official, and he was also considered to be filial and honest, so he was often appointed as military governor by Sun Jian. The soldiers only regarded him as an ordinary Confucian scholar. Who would have expected him to be the first to rush into the enemy formation with a cluster of arrows.
The lagging Jingqi felt quite ashamed when they saw this situation, so they cheered up their spirits again, galvanized their horses, and completed the final sprint.
They followed Han Dang's rear path, covering up from the flanks, trying to carve out another diagonal line in Dong Zhuo's front formation, and then expanded the front line and charged directly into the Liang people who had not yet formed formation in the rear.
But this is not something that can be accomplished in one attack. The vanguards of the Jingqi first broke through a small section of the battle line, and then they had to stop and engage in a bloody battle with the Liangqi in front of them to stabilize the broken battle line behind them.
, the knights from the Chinese army came up in a steady stream, and after accumulating a certain amount of strength, they attacked Liangqi again, and then continued to break a front line from behind the broken front line, and so on, like a knife repeatedly chopping a log.
, the heart will not give up until it sees the tree.
When Han Dang broke into Li Jue's formation before, Guo Si and Hua Xiong in the front line also stood still and watched Han Dang fight with Li Jue's formation. This was not only a sign of trust in Li Jue, but also because Sun Jian's army had not moved.
Since a vanguard will disrupt the formation and easily expose the weaknesses of the flanks, it is better to wait for the opportunity and wait for Sun Jian to reveal his flaws.
At this time, Zhu Zhi led his troops into the formation again, and Jingqi's formation was lengthened due to the punching of the front line, turning into a cone. Guo Si realized that the fighter opportunity was coming, and immediately raised his horse and raised his hooves, raising his knife high among the soldiers.
The followers understood the idea and raised their knives. It was already noon, and the sunlight was absorbed under the blade. The sharpened blades reflected each other, forming a shining brilliance that was hard to look at. Guo Si moved first,
The subordinates followed closely behind, and the knights held the sword light high and ran towards the left side of the Jing people's battle line.
Such a dazzling offensive attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield. When Dong Zhuo saw Guo Si's flag at the front of the queue on the mountain, he couldn't help but cheer loudly: "Good Guo Si! What a good man!" The sergeant on the mountain immediately beat the drum and shouted like thunder.
To support Guo Si's rise. Sun Jian saw that it was Guo Si who was coming, and he was a little worried about Zhu Zhisheng. He said to his nephew Xu Kun: "Go and help Zhu Sima quickly. Fighters are hard to find, and you must not let Liang Ren."
Block the offensive!"
Xu Kun agreed repeatedly, but after more than a mile he brought his personal entourage forward and saw Liang Ren's sword flashing in the distance. For a moment, he was timid and got the upper hand. Instead, he slowed down his horse and said to his subordinates, "Liang Ren is here."
When the momentum is strong, it is better to wait for it to weaken a little, and then we can counterattack and we will definitely win!"

As a result, all the pressure was on Zhu Zhi's troops. Zhu Zhi never thought about backup. He saw Guo Si running from a distance, and immediately suspended the offensive and urged all knights to stabilize the battle line. Then he hastily gathered more than a hundred Jingqi,
He walked out of the battle line, ran like a whirlwind, and actually launched a countercharge towards Guo Si!
Zhu Zhi wore two levels of armor painted black, and a white robe on top of the armor. The black and white alternated between them, which was really eye-catching. However, he was actually average in stature, less than seven feet. He held a bow and three bows in his left hand.
The arrow has a long knife in its leg, which looks extremely uncoordinated.
When the Liangqi on both sides saw him passing through, they opened their bows and fired arrows at him without waiting for him to collide with Guo Bang. However, Zhu Zhi's horse also had iron armor hanging in front of it to prevent arrows. He hid in the saddle armor to avoid the arrow feathers.
Only a few arrows were shot at him, but none of them could penetrate his armor or flesh. When Guo Bang saw that Zhu Zhi was about to charge, he immediately led the crowd and planned to annihilate him first. Unexpectedly, the hundreds of arrows rode more than a hundred steps away from him and suddenly stood up.
Stand up and turn the horse's head so that the horse runs sideways facing the enemy.
Zhu Zhi turned to the left, holding an arrow in his right hand, and shot out an arrow, hitting a Liangqi in front of him. The man immediately fell off his horse. The Jingqi beside him followed him and charged several times before the Liangqi finally caught up.
In front of them, they were fighting hand-to-hand with Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Zhi pulled out a big knife to chop him. Guo Bang saw that Zhu Zhi was good at shooting, so he stabbed him with his spear. Zhu Zhi ducked between the saddles, and when the two horses were crossing each other, he suddenly slashed forward with his big knife.
The broadsword slashed Guo Bang's breastplate hard, entering the flesh in the gap between the armor plates, sliding across his right breast, and the blade rolled up immediately. Guo Bang let out a cry of pain, and at the same time, he took the opportunity to stab Zhu Zhi's ankle.
.
The two riders were walking past each other. Guo Bang covered his chest, but Zhu Zhi endured the severe pain in his feet as if nothing had happened. When the cool riders saw this situation, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "This man is very powerful. He wants to leave."
Stay away from him."
Xu Kun watched from a distance as Liang Qi calmed down, and then led his troops to come to support him. When Zhu Zhi saw that there was backup, he immediately drove his horse into a rampage. Liang Qi could not stop him and allowed him to return to Xu Kun. Zhu Zhi used his broadsword to attack Liang Qi.
He threw it on the ground and said, "This knife is no longer of use. Exchange it with me." Xu Kun saw that the big knife was stained with blood and had many gaps on the blade, and the horse he was riding had arrows stuck on its chest armor like a hedgehog.
General, exclaimed: "You will know how many enemies you have killed when you see this sword. A man has the courage of a bear, so why should he be afraid of the light of the sword?" He was ashamed of his behavior, so he exchanged his favorite sword for Zhu Zhi, and filled it with fifty
With a quiver of armor-piercing arrows, Zhu Zhi took the knife and quiver and rushed into the formation again.
With the addition of Xu Kun, a new force, Jingqi was able to continue digging into the Liang people's formation. The Liang people's front line had been completely penetrated, and Lu Bu's troops of the Chinese army also began to engage the enemy. Jingqi sprinted forward for another half mile, and then
They fell into a situation of exhaustion. Because by this time of the battle, except for the cavalry of Sun Jian and Guan Yu, all the Jing people's cavalry had entered the battlefield, and they could only use infantry to advance slowly.
Dong Zhuo's main formation was only one mile away from the Jing people's forward. He breathed a sigh of relief and sighed to Liu Ai, the commander of the army, with fear: "Sun Wentai has been training for half a year, but he can create such a strong army. Don't say
Li Jue underestimated the enemy, even I underestimated him." But when he said this, he laughed again, and his laughter was full of the joy of defeating a powerful enemy. He continued in a golden and iron voice: "But after all, he can't advance anymore,
If he can't advance, it will be our army's turn to advance instead!"
The last cavalry to enter the formation was finally completed. Dong Zhuo ordered Xu Rong to dispatch with flags and drums at the top of Kongtong Mountain, and led the cavalry to attack around the enemy's right wing. He also ordered Hu Zhen to cooperate with Lu Bu and move forward to meet the front line and capture Jing's cavalry.
The soldiers fought back.
Xu Rong looked up at the sky. The shadow of the sun had moved westward, gradually shifting from the Jing people's side to the Liang people's side. The two armies had been fighting for two full hours. The soldiers in front were very tired. He knew
He was charged with the role of decisive blow, so he repeatedly warned his officers: "Follow my flag, if I am fast, you wait, no matter how fast, you will have enough strength to kill."
This cavalry army of ten thousand people finished eating the dry food in their hands and drank the water in their water bags. Finally, they slowly began to move to the left, and soon a new line of smoke and dust was raised on the ground.
