Chapter 79 The invincible Major General Shenwei ran away
At this time, Sun Ce was chasing Wu Anguo.
It was exactly three quarters in the afternoon, that is, around four o'clock.
It coincides with late autumn and early winter, when the days are short and the nights are long, the sun is already close to the west mountain.
Although it may not get dark for another hour and a half, there are already signs of sunset.
Fire clouds swept across the entire western sky, and the gorgeous glow was as beautiful as a picture scroll.
A dense crowd of people emerged on the plain. Although everyone was not crowded together, the wilderness was full of enemy and enemy soldiers who were fleeing.
Sun Ce took the lead and rushed to the front, looking directly at the back of Wu Anguo who was running wildly, intending to stab him under the horse.
Fortunately, Yan Liangwen Chou's horse died slower than Guan Yu's, and as a court general, Liu Bei now controls the north and has a source of horses. The horses of his senior generals are quite good.
Therefore, even Sun Ce's horse was not an ordinary war horse, but it was not as fast as Red Rabbit, De Lu, Claw Huang Feidian, Zi Ying, Jueying and other horses, and he could not catch up for a while.
After a long delay in catching up with Wu Anguo, Sun Ce's already irritable character became even more violent and upset. He was completely unable to calm down and stopped pursuing.
And just when he was full of fighting spirit and his whole body was filled with a bloodthirsty impulse, he suddenly vaguely heard someone calling him from behind.
"Bo Fu, Bo Fu!"
This familiar voice quickly calmed him down, reined in his horse, and turned his head to watch.
I saw Zhou Yu galloping all the way on a fast horse from a distance.
Sun Ce quickly reined in his horse and stopped to wait.
When Zhou Yu arrived, he asked: "Gong Jin, what's wrong?"
Zhou Yu said urgently: "Quickly give the order to withdraw the troops."
Sun Ce wondered: "Gong Jin, I have won a great victory and am preparing to take advantage of the victory to pursue you. Why should I withdraw my troops?"
"I'm afraid the enemy may have an ambush."
Zhou Yu explained: "Bo Fu came out in a hurry and did not order the central army to come. Once the enemy's ambush appears, our front army will be defeated."
"ambush?"
Sun Ce was immediately like a basin of cold water poured on his head, extinguishing the passion and excitement in his heart.
Like his father, he only has impulsiveness and bravery when it comes to fighting.
For a moment, he actually forgot that he led only 5,000 people from the front army. If the enemy attacked at this time, wouldn't it mean that the entire front army would be annihilated?
I was stunned when I suddenly heard someone shouting from the front: "The enemy has an ambush, retreat quickly!"
"Retreat first, I'll come to the rear!"
When Sun Ce heard that there was an ambush, he quickly looked to the north and saw countless black spots densely appearing on the horizon. With the cover of several hills and slopes, he had reached less than two miles in front of them.
When the pursuing Sun Army saw the enemy ambushing approaching, they instinctively stopped. They looked around and found Sun Ce on horseback, and they all moved closer to him.
It has to be said that Sun Jian was born as a low-level officer, so he still attaches great importance to the training of low-level officers. These people are quite elite and respond quickly.
After finding Sun Ce's figure on the battlefield, he immediately called the soldiers around him to join him, and then led the people to gather towards Sun Ce.
Soon after about half a quarter of an hour, soldiers with a radius of several hundred meters approached, about less than a thousand of them.
The entire battlefield covers a large area, with fighting taking place around one or two square kilometers.
Sun Ce's problem was that he didn't bring his big banner with him. He had heard that Wu Anguo attacked his former army, so only he and dozens of his guards came to take a look.
As a result, at first sight, I couldn't help but want to attack. Once I attacked, I chased the enemy for four or five miles, causing the front and rear armies to become somewhat disconnected.
It's not terrible that the front and rear armies are out of touch. What's terrible is that you don't have a big banner, so the soldiers can't move towards the general in time after encountering an unexpected situation.
The only good news is that this is a vast plain area, unlike in mountainous areas where you have to get closer to find traces of the enemy.
Two miles away was enough for Sun Ce to react and quickly use these 1,000 soldiers to form a defensive formation.
But when they saw the number of enemies clearly, they couldn't help but be frightened.
There was a dense crowd, no less than ten thousand people.
The person at the front is wearing a white horse and a silver spear, and there are soldiers beside him holding flags and writing "General Zhao" in four characters. He is one of the world-famous Nine Tiger Generals, Northwest General Zhao Yun.
Seeing the enemy's main force coming to support, Sun Ce immediately ordered the remaining soldiers to retreat, while he stayed behind to block the pursuers.
Zhao Yun first sent people to collect the scattered soldiers of Wu Anguo, and then sent people to attack.
It's embarrassing to say.
Chen Mu arranged for Wu Anguo to fake a defeat. As a result, he could not defeat Sun Ce and was almost stabbed to death by Sun Ce. The fake defeat turned into a real defeat, causing the team that should have been able to assemble quickly to collapse and Zhao Yun to clean up the mess.
After Zhao Yun arrived at the battlefield, he quickly gathered Wu An's troops. Wu An was so ashamed that he quickly wanted to take advantage of his crime and led two thousand troops to pursue Sun Ce.
The attack and defense suddenly changed. Wu Anguo led the charge forward, while Sun Ce fought and retreated, covering his soldiers' retreat.
The two sides fought for a while and several more rounds. At this moment, a shocking shout suddenly broke out from the rear. It turned out that Zhou Yu sent Jiang Qin to the Chinese army to summon the generals to come to the rescue. At this time, reinforcements had arrived.
Seeing the arrival of enemy reinforcements, Wu Anguo had to retreat first.
After repelling Wu Anguo, Sun Ce was frightened for a moment and said gratefully to Zhou Yu: "Fortunately, Gong Jin arrived in time, otherwise something would have gone terribly wrong."
Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Yun's army in the distance, frowned and said, "Bo Fu, don't be too optimistic. This battle happened suddenly. I don't think Chen Zigui will handle it so roughly. It's just a ploy to lure the enemy deeper."
"What does Gong Jin mean?"
Sun Ce thought deeply: "Are you worried that they will attack our rear camp?"
Zhou Yu thought for a while: "Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other veteran generals have always been prudent. I am not afraid of attacking the rear camp. I don't know what Chen Zigui will do for the time being. Let's see first."
"Um!"
Sun Ce stood with a gun.
Jiang Qin, Dong Xi, Xu Sheng, Lu Fan, Ling Cao and other troops have already arrived with their own troops.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Each of the 20,000 troops arranged their formations with magnificent momentum.
In comparison, Zhao Yun only had 10,000 people, and together with Wu'an's troops, there were only more than 14,000 people, which was a slight numerical disadvantage.
However, Zhao Yun himself was not here to fight to the death with Sun Ce. The reason why Chen Mu wanted to lure Sun Ce's troops away was to facilitate Sun Jian to steal his hometown. Now that the enemies have come to the wild, they just need to wait for Sun Jian to come.
It is approaching evening, approaching the end of the afternoon, that is, five o'clock in the afternoon. The sky is already a little dark, not as bright as during the day, and the howling north wind is sweeping through Huaibei, blowing the withered grass and swaying.
Zhao Yun looked at the time and estimated Sun Jian's progress in his mind. He glanced at the distance and saw that the enemies had gathered in formation. He rode his horse to inspect the formation but did not launch an attack.
Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others in the distance didn't know what he wanted to do. It was getting late, so Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, it's getting late. A fierce battle in the wild is not good for us now, so we should withdraw our troops first."
Just as Sun Ce was about to agree, Zhao Yun was already galloping towards him on horseback from a distance, holding a spear in his hand and saying loudly: "I heard that Sun Bofu from Jiangdong is known as the little overlord. I think this is exaggerated!"
"Um?"
Sun Ce's overlord gun turned, he galloped out and shouted: "Zhao Yun, fight to the death with me!"
"Bo Fu!"
It was too late for Zhou Yu to stop him.
In fact, Zhao Yun and Sun Ce have known each other for a long time. When Yuan Shu attacked Runan, it was Zhao Yun's troops stationed in Yingchuan who helped Sun Jian relieve the siege.
Counting the time, that was already ten years ago, when Sun Ce was only eighteen or nineteen years old.
There is neither friendship nor enmity between the two.
But now that the two sides have different positions, Zhao Yun comes out to provoke him again, which naturally makes Sun Ce feel unhappy and wants to come out to fight with him.
In fact, Sun Ce did not fight without thinking. If the enemy was clearly ambushing him, he would definitely not pursue him. But the terrain around here was flat, and there were more people on his side than on the other side, so what should he be afraid of?
The most important thing is that Zhao Yun was already famous all over the world when he conquered Dong Zhuo, while Sun Ce was at best a rising star who only rose to prominence in recent years. The age gap between the two sides was not that big.
Now Sun Ce is twenty-nine years old, and Zhao Yun is thirty-six years old. The difference is only seven years, but their fame is worlds apart. How can Sun Ce be happy?
Therefore, when facing Zhao Yun, he had long wanted to try it out with him to see if the nine tiger generals of the imperial court were exaggerating.
The horses of both sides galloped and approached quickly.
Naturally, Sun Ce didn't know that Zhao Yun was holding him back, and he was not afraid of the enemy's fight. After the two sides approached, he thrust his spear straight into Zhao Yun's face.
This shot was so fierce that it seemed to pierce Zhao Yun's entire body with the power of the war horse.
It is undeniable that Sun Ce at this time was already very strong, infinitely close to the level of a super-class general, but Zhao Yun at this time was even stronger.
Zhao Yun, who is thirty-six years old this year, is still five years away from his peak at Changbanpo, but that does not mean that his peak must wait until he is forty-one.
He was in the golden age of a military commander, and he had reached the level of proficiency in terms of skill, experience and martial arts. When he saw Sun Ce stabbing him with a spear, he calmly turned his head to avoid the stab, and the spear in his hand was circling like a silver dragon.
, stabbed Sun Ce in the waist and ribs diagonally.
The little bully also reacted quickly, drew his gun to block it, and swung the gun barrel down to deflect the stabbing attack.
The horses of both sides passed by each other, and each side fought for a round in an instant.
Then the two men turned their horses around, losing the power of charging, and started fighting fiercely on their horses. Wuhua Cong and Zhaoye Jade Lion also bit each other, and the two horses kept spinning and fighting.
The officers and soldiers of both armies craned their necks to watch. Fighting generals like this are not common. Because in chaotic battles, generals with low force value are often penetrated by strong generals like Sun Ce and Zhao Yun, and can be easily beheaded. They are evenly matched.
This is extremely rare.
I saw the two of them shooting golden, like an overlord coming to the world. Another shining silver, like a dragon tumbling. It continued to draw gorgeous arcs in the air, spinning like hot wheels, like a silver dragon and a lion competing for glory, dust and sand
All around, the sky and the earth lost their color.
In the 30th round of the battle, Zhao Yun saw the opportunity and struck a dragon out of the hole with a straight thrust. Sun Ce was just in the stage of using his moves and had not yet withdrawn his strength. At this time, he couldn't get back in time, so he had to fall down and stick to him like an iron plate.
He escaped on horseback.
This iron bridge is a great test of waist strength, and it is easier to fall than to fall. If an ordinary general has insufficient waist strength and has to rely on his hands to support the horse's back to get up, his reaction will be slow and he will be stabbed to death by someone else's move.
However, Sun Ce's waist strength was so amazing that he did not completely fall down and press his back against the horse's back. Instead, after dodging the stabbing, he forcibly raised his upper body in mid-air.
Seeing this scene, the Sun Army soldiers first screamed in surprise. But soon they burst into enthusiastic cheers, applauding and applauding their general's hard work.
"The general is mighty!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"The general is invincible, invincible, invincible!"
Waves of cheers surged and morale was high. The soldiers raised their weapons one after another, their faces flushed, and they were extremely excited.
This is their Jiangdong God of War, the belief in the army, and an invincible existence!
"What a good boy, you have a lot of skills!"
This iron bridge also impressed Zhao Yun, Sun Ce still has something.
You should know about ordinary iron plate bridges, fitness enthusiasts who often exercise may be able to do it.
But don't forget that Sun Ce is wearing dozens of kilograms of armor, so the difficulty of performing this set of movements is no less difficult than dancing while lifting a dozens of kilograms of barbell.
So from this point of view, Sun Ce does have the style of a fierce general, and he has not yet reached his peak age. Given time, in another five or six years, he may really be invincible.
However, although Sun Ce was fierce, Zhao Yun did not feel that he could not defeat him.
After all, it was him who took the initiative to attack, but was resolved beautifully by others. What is there to be proud of?
After this straight stab was dodged, Zhao Yun also immediately changed his tactics and lowered his gun.
The sudden change of moves caught Sun Ce a little unexpectedly. In a hurry, he could only respond with the "block" of the gun. He turned sideways and held the gun barrel with both hands to block it under his body, and pressed against the enemy's gun barrel to push it away.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After being intercepted, Zhao Yun was not annoyed, but changed to another flirtation.
Legend has it that the Liuhe Spear was created by Fu Xi, but the marksmanship has been around since ancient times and has been passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to this day, and those who practice it have their own strengths.
Sun Ce's Overlord Spear is Xiang Yu's set of three top spears. It focuses on the upper level, and the middle level as a supplement. It specializes in hitting people's faces, necks and chests, and rarely hits the lower body.
This marksmanship is famous for its unparalleled strength, so those who practice it must firstly have great strength; secondly, they must have a courageous character and not be afraid of the enemy. Only in this way can they achieve success.
It's just that this set of Overlord Spears is definitely invincible in the hands of Xiang Yu, but Sun Ce still lacks a lot of strength. If Lu Bu's force value is 100, Xiang Yu said 120, Sun Ce is only 94 now, which is completely incomparable.
And Zhao Yun's spear is a Zhao family spear that combines a lot of spear skills to create its own style. It is fast, has many changes, and is mainly soft. As the saying goes, using softness to overcome hardness just restrains the Overlord Spear.
Zhao Yun would have been unable to restrain Xiang Yu, but Sun Ce could not. Zhao Yun picked him up and stabbed him straight in the waist and abdomen, and he had to draw his gun to block him.
At this stage, Zhao Yun was stuck, and the gun barrels collided. With a light draw and then stabbing, Sun Ce had to draw the gun again and press down to continue to block.
All kinds of flat thrusts, downward thrusts, upward thrusts, diagonal thrusts, and side thrusts are not only fierce but also extremely fast.
After repeated attacks, Sun Ce soon fell into a disadvantage and was exhausted.
no way.
Speaking of which, Sun Ce shouldn't be so unlucky.
Zhao Yun is currently at his peak, and his force value may be around 98.
It's only 4 points short of force value. How can I fight for a hundred rounds before falling into a disadvantage?
However, the style of moves is restrained. The Overlord Spear emphasizes bravery and refinement, while the Zhao Family Spear is ever-changing.
You want to defeat him by ten levels with one strength, but his strength is not worse than yours, and he has ten levels more. His strength is about the same, but his skills are better than yours. How can you fight?
After only the fifty round, Sun Ce was at a disadvantage. He only had the strength to parry, but no strength to fight back.
If the fight continues like this, in about a hundred rounds, Sun Ce will definitely be defeated and captured alive by Zhao Yun.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Yu quickly ordered Knocking Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
Hearing Jin Zheng's voice, Sun Ce perked up and tried his best to fend off another diagonal stab from Zhao Yun. Taking advantage of this gap, he turned his horse's head and gasped: "It's getting late today. Let's fight next time."
After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly and ran away quickly.
At this time, if Zhao Yun was chasing after him, it would not mean that he would not be able to continue to entangle Sun Ce. Sun Ce turned his body to prevent him from sneaking up on him from behind, but it did not mean that he could not continue to control the situation.
But at this moment, a melodious horn sound suddenly came from the distance, and the soldiers of both armies looked into the distance.
It was already evening and the sun was beginning to set.
It will be dark until night.
Because it was so far away, no one knew who made the horn sound or where it came from.
Only Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows with joy and said: "Reinforcements have arrived, kill!"
"kill!"
A shocking sound erupted behind him.
The drums are beating.
Zhou Yu originally wanted to retreat because it was getting late.
I estimate that it will be less than two quarters of an hour before complete darkness, which is about half an hour.
But I didn't expect the enemy to attack suddenly. If I retreated at this time, I would have to give my back to the enemy.
Therefore, Zhou Yu had no choice but to say: "Get ready to fight!"
"Ready to fight!"
Sun Ce's army was prepared to be serious. With Major General Shenwei as a sea-fixing needle, they were not afraid of any enemy's attack.
Soon the two sides met like a tide and collided with each other, fighting with each other constantly.
As the front armies on both sides were entangled, the horns in the distance became clearer.
Listening to the voice, he was already behind him.
After Sun Ce returned to the formation, Zhou Yu was extremely anxious. He looked back from time to time and said, "Bo Fu, there is indeed a fraud. The scouts came to report. They are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Chen Zigui wants to fight with us in a night battle."
"Night fight?"
Looking at the sunset in the distance, Sun Ce wondered: "There are very few night blind soldiers in our army. How dare he fight with me in a night battle?"
The treatment of night blindness was not solved until Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty, and the popularity rate was not high.
Information dissemination was inconvenient in ancient times. Although Sun Simiao found a solution, more than 90% of the people lived in the countryside, making it very difficult to obtain knowledge. Therefore, night blindness was as common as illiteracy in ancient times.
But Koto is different. Night blindness is due to lack of vitamin A. This substance is often found in eggs, carrots and animal offal. Therefore, people who eat fish and shrimp rarely suffer from night blindness.
Jiangdong is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin, with many waters and close to the ocean. People eat more fish and shrimp, including their offal, to supplement vitamin A.
So as long as it's not a night where you can't see your fingers and dark clouds cover the moon, Sun Jiajun is not completely invisible.
However, Zhou Yu said: "Chen Zigui has always been cunning. No one can tell that he has other plans. It is not appropriate to fight for a long time now. After repelling Zhao Yun, we should retreat immediately."
"clear!"
Sun Ce nodded and immediately ordered his generals to fight back. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also took a short rest.
The two sides continued to fight fiercely while it was still dark.
A quarter of an hour later, the army behind Sun Ce finally approached the battlefield. Scouts came to report that the enemy numbered about 10,000 and were preparing to attack their rear formation.
After hearing about this, Sun Ce quickly returned to the rear army to hold down the battle in person, preparing for a new round of war.
Night is approaching, and the sky and earth are so gray that you can't see clearly.
I could only vaguely see a dense crowd rushing towards the place, with dense flags waving.
But Sun Ce was not afraid.
Although it was designed by the enemy, there is not much difference in the strength of the enemy's and ours' troops.
At most, they will be attacked from both front and rear. As long as they can withstand it, it is not impossible to defeat the enemy.
The two sides quickly approached, and Sun Cel stepped out of the battle and shouted: "Sun Bofu from Jiangdong is here, who dares to fight with me?"
He was buying time for the front army, attacking from both front and rear. As long as the front army defeated Zhao Yun first, and then accumulated strength to defeat the new enemy, they would win.
Then Sun Ce saw a burly man coming out of the enemy formation, staring at him, and shouted: "General Han, Sun Wentai from Jiangdong is willing to fight to the death with you!"
"Jiang...Jiangdong Sun Wentai?"
"It's the old general..."
"How could this happen? The imperial court actually sent an old general to beat the young general..."
"this....."
Sun Ce's surrounding bodyguards were all stunned.
They never dreamed that they would meet their general and his father on the battlefield.
You know, everyone in Jiangdong feels that Liu Bei has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness. He may not kill Sun Jian, but at least he must be imprisoned.
Even according to past practice, he might be captured and used as a hostage to force Sun Ce to surrender.
Because all hostages in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were like this.
But they never expected that Liu Bei not only did not imprison him, but also appointed him as a general and personally led the troops to attack Sun Ce.
Don't play by the rules at all.
At this moment, the entire Sun family army was dumbfounded.
Sun Ce himself was trembling all over.
His eyes widened and he was at a loss.
After a while, in full view of everyone, Sun Ce turned his horse and left.
The surrounding guards and soldiers were stunned in place, messy in the wind.
Major General...just ran away like this?
What should they do?
Should he kneel down to greet the old general, or run with the young general?
It's not a matter of staying, it's not a matter of leaving.
The nearby Sun family soldiers were all lost in thought...
