"PS: I'm going to Hangzhou to visit relatives today and won't be at home all day, so I'd better post it first."
————The following text————
Sun Shuke was the defender of Qi County during the Four Kingdoms Campaign against Chu. He is currently the last batch of surrendered generals recruited by the Yanling Army from the Chu Army.
However, his status is very transcendent. After surrendering to the Wei army, he suddenly became the battalion general of the third battalion of the Yanling army. Because of this, he will inevitably receive some different views.
The surrendered generals who were also born in the Chu people, be it Qu Cheng or Yan Mo, the Chu generals who defected to the Wei State in the early days, have all become senior generals. In the Wei State, these degraded generals at the level of senators were gradually accepted by the Wei court.
But Sun Shuke is not the case. He has not proven himself yet. What's more, in the second half of the "Four Kingdoms' Battle against Chu", he did not want to meet his old master Ju Yangjun Xiong Li on the battlefield, so he did not want to meet his old master Ju Yangjun Xiong Li in that battle. In the second half of the year, I held a logistics position, which inevitably caused some rumors.
In comparison, Nanmen Chi, the general who defected to the Shang Navy at the same time, did not have such troubles, because Nanmen Chi tried his best to express himself after defecting to the Shang Navy. Not only did his military exploits make the Nanmen clan in the Shangshui County gained a position and firmly secured the position of deputy general of Shangshui Army.
Only Sun Shuke was neither embarrassed nor embarrassed, as if he had firmly established his position as a logistics general, so that in the subsequent Sanchuan Battle of Wei and Qin, Sun Shuke had no chance to perform.
Similarly, the third battalion of the Yanling Army led by Sun Shuke had no outstanding results. In addition to being responsible for transporting grain and grass, it was a cooperating operation.
Therefore, when facing powerful Korean generals like Baoyuan in this battle, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun appointed him to command the first line of defense. Sun Shuke simply couldn't believe it.
"General, it's been a long time since we fought side by side like this..."
Sun Shuke's lieutenants, Qian Ben and She Li, came to Sun Shuke's side at some unknown time and said with a smile.
"ah……"
Sun Shuke couldn't help feeling a little sad.
I think that before he defected to the Wei army, he was also the defender of a city, the same as Nanmen Chi of the Shang Shui army.
But later on, Nanmen Chi had firmly assumed the position of deputy general of the Shang Shui Army. Apart from Wu Ji and Zhai Huang, he could be said to be inferior to two people and above tens of thousands of people in the Shang Shui Army. But what about his Sun Shuke? However, because he took the initiative to retreat to the rear, he was troubled by rumors. Even though he was the general of the third battalion of the Yanling Army, he was not ranked among the top brass of the Yanling Army, namely Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Gong Ye Sheng, and Zuo Xun. In the circle of generals like Xi, Huayu, and Zuoqiumu, Sun Shuke could hardly get a word in.
Even Zou Xin, the general of the second battalion of the Yanling Army and the former deputy general of Nanmenchi, had more say than Sun Shuke.
The reason is that Zou Xin has proven himself, but he has not.
But today, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun gave Sun Shuke this opportunity. As long as he could stop the Han general Baoyuan, Sun Shuke would be proud from now on.
"Ten tycoons from Kitahara..."The fierce bird" Bao Yuan!"
Sun Shuke secretly recited the name of the powerful enemy on the opposite side in his heart. Having spent half his life in the military, he actually felt that his palms were a little moist.
Without him, it's just because the opponent is a Korean general like Shouling Jun Jingshe and Xiling Jun Qu Ping of Chu State.
"You two quickly return to your respective positions." Sun Shuke said to the two generals Qian Ben and She Li.
Qian Ben and She Li looked at each other and left with a bit of a smile.
Of course, the second general could see Sun Shuke's nervousness. After all, they were also quite nervous: for the first time in charge of the battle, they encountered a fierce general of Bao Yuan's level. The entire Su Wang Army except a certain Prince Su didn't take it seriously.
, the rest, who is not trembling with fear?
"General Yan Mo's side... it went quite smoothly."
Sun Shuke glanced in the direction of Xuansheng City, and couldn't help but admire the cunningness of a certain King Su: using hundreds of wooden barrels filled with water, he was able to scare the Jin Yao troops who were guarding the city into hastily fleeing from the city wall.
If he hadn't been so nervous at the moment, I believe he would have burst out laughing.
It's a pity that he couldn't laugh.
Because he knew that as Yan Mo's army posed an increasing threat to Xu's City, the 30,000 cavalrymen of the Baoyuan Army who were eyeing the south might suddenly attack at any time and attack his Wei army's defense line.
As the commander-in-chief of the first line of defense, Sun Shuke was under great pressure.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Sun Shuke's eyes were fixed on the south, looking at the dark line between the sky and the earth in the distance.
I don’t know how long it took, but the dark line between the sky and the earth in the distance moved. It quickly changed from a black line to a black belt. Then, with a loud rumbling sound, this black line quickly
Pull it apart lengthwise.
Seeing this, Sun Shuke was shocked. He realized that the Storm Kite Army was about to launch an offensive!
For some reason, at this moment, the tension in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"The first team, the second team, the third team...the sword and shield soldiers come forward and squat down!"
Following Sun Shuke's general order, rows of Yanling saber and shield soldiers took a few steps towards the front of the Baoyuan army, then squatted sideways and placed the shields in their hands on the ground in front of them.
This is so as not to affect the shooting of the rear crossbowmen.
At the same time, among the 30,000 cavalrymen of Bao Yuan's army who were heading towards the Wei army, Bao Yuan rode his horse slowly astride his mount, gazing attentively at the Wei army in the distance.
It has to be said that Bao Yuan was also helpless. He wanted to see a good show at first because he didn't believe that Zhao Hongrun dared to attack Xuans City under his nose.
Unexpectedly, the Wei army not only really attacked Xuushi City, but also broke through the wall of Xuushi City in a short period of time through deception, leaving Bao Yuan unable to even rescue him.
Under this situation, Bao Yuan had no choice but to attack immediately. After all, if he stood still and watched the city where Jin's army was stationed was captured by the Wei army, Jin Mao's reputation would be ruined, and he, Bao Yuan, would probably lose his face too.
Unless he can save the situation and defeat the Wei army in front of him!
"It's so powerful, the military strength of this Wei army..."
While riding his horse, Bao Yuan carefully observed the Wei army in the distance.
As a cavalry commander, Bao Yuan has experienced many times of charging against infantry. However, he has never encountered such a calm army - facing the charge of 30,000 cavalry, there is still an infantry in the world who can maintain his position.
Calm?
Why are they so calm?!
Oh, yes, because this Wei army has never been defeated so far...
From the Chu State to Sanchuan, from the Chu people to the Sichuan Rong people to the Qin people and now to the Koreans, this Wei army has never suffered a defeat.
"Is this your confidence?"
Bao Yuan narrowed his eyes, filled with murderous intent.
He felt that if this Wei army was so powerful, then he would not mind breaking the backbone of this Wei army and letting it fully appreciate the terror of his Korean cavalry.
"assault!"
Baoyuan waved his hand and pointed forward. At the same time, he slowly slowed down and finally stopped in place.
At the same time, the Korean cavalry under his command bypassed him, speeding up and rushing forward.
At the front of the team are two cavalrymen, Hua Chang and Hua Can, under Bao Yuan's command.
Hua Chang and Hua Can are two brothers, and they are also the vanguard cavalrymen used most by Baoyuan. This is because the two brothers seem to have a telepathic connection and can always cooperate in a chaotic battlefield, especially when using the car-suspended combat method.
At this time, the switching between main attack and feint attack is very tacit, and can often turn the enemy around.
But today, brothers Hua Chang and Hua Can vaguely felt that something was wrong.
For the cavalry, the Crane Wing Formation, which is like an offensive over the mountains and plains, or simply charging without any formation, is actually the stupidest way to do it. It seems powerful, but in fact, not only is it ineffective, but it is also vulnerable to arrows.
The threat is also greater.
Unless they are facing a ragtag group of people, the cavalry generally adopts formations that have a penetration effect, such as cone formations and long snake formations.
The two brothers Huachang and Hua Can used the one-word vertical formation, also called the one-word long snake formation, to charge straight towards the enemy. This formation was least threatened by enemy bows and crossbows, and the subsequent formation changes were more frequent.
convenient.
For example, if the Wei army on the opposite side could not hold back at this moment and launched a volley of crossbows, then the brothers Hua Chang and Hua Can would quickly change their formations and spread out to the left and right, causing the Wei army's crossbows to fire.
The salvo failed, and the formation was transformed into a vehicle suspension and a two-wheeled vortex, gradually strangling the Wei army's infantry without slowing down the cavalry charge.
However, in Huachang today, the Huacan brothers' opponent, General Sun Shuke of the third battalion of Wei Yanling Army, did not immediately launch a volley of bows and crossbows at them.
The reason is very simple, because facing the cavalry charging with full strength, the crossbowmen often only have one chance to fire a salvo. If this salvo fails to cause serious casualties to the cavalry, then the cavalry will definitely break through the defense line and tear apart the defenders.
Square formation.
"What should I do? Just rush over there?"
"..."
The two brothers Hua Chang and Hua Can looked at each other while galloping with all their strength, and both hesitated.
The opponents they encountered in the past would often be deceived by them at this time into firing volleys from their crossbowmen. This was the card that threatened the cavalry the most. As long as they deceived the volleys, after that,
It can be said that it is the world of cavalry.
But today, the brothers Huachang and Huacan have rushed to a distance of only two hundred feet away from the Wei army, but the Wei army's volley has still not come, which makes the Huachang and Huacan brothers a little uneasy.
At this moment, they suddenly saw Wei Jun shooting a wave of arrows towards the moving position where they were.
"ha!"
Seeing this, the brothers Hua Chang and Hua Can were determined, and they separated to the left and right as usual. Although there were some casualties, they avoided most of the arrow rain, so this kind of casualties was acceptable.
However, just when the cavalry team led by them separated and turned into two sharp spears in an attempt to penetrate the Wei army's defense line, the Wei army's crossbowmen actually launched another volley, covering the path of the cavalrymen with arrows in advance.
On the road.
"How come?!"
The two brothers Hua Chang and Hua Can were shocked. Only then did they realize that the first wave of arrow rain was actually not many in number. There were probably only two to three thousand crossbowmen participating in the shooting. As for the purpose, it is self-evident.
"Damn! I have been hunting geese all day long, but today I was pecked out by an eagle and was blinded..."
The cavalry commander Hua Chang felt depressed. He knew that it was because Wei Jun had not surrendered his volley that the two brothers were a little impatient, so that Wei Jun used a trick to successfully deceive them into changing their formation.
"It's just a volley. When I rush over..."
He was just thinking fiercely in his mind about how to teach the cavalry on the opposite side a lesson later when he saw another hail of arrows coming ahead of him and covering the path he must pass.
At the same time, in the Wei army's main formation, Ma You received an order from Sun Shuke.
"General Uncle Sun hopes that the Yuma Army will be ready to attack immediately!"
Hearing this, Ma You glanced at Su Wang Zhao Hongrun and saw the latter nodding. After saying goodbye with clasped fists, he turned his horse back to the main formation of Yu Ma's army.
"Sun Shuke...can he give me Yuma a heavy ride and create the best opportunity to attack?"
Licking his lips, Ma You put the heavy helmet on his body with excitement.
