The direction leading to Nancheng, Xinye County.
Sun Pojun led 30,000 elite troops and quickly came to Xinye County.
Sun Pojun was hiding in the mountains, but he paid close attention to the situation in Xinye County. Just like this, as soon as Zhao Shan sent out troops, Sun Pojun got the news and quickly went north. Sun Pojun's plan was to catch Zhao Shan off guard while Zhao Shan was attacking Xinye County.
"Go at full speed and don't stop!"
Sun Pojun ordered on horseback, his angular face filled with a look of solemnity. Whether Zhao Shan can be defeated is related to the outcome of this battle and whether Zhao Shan can be killed.
Killing Zhao Shan will completely benefit Zhao Rui and Zhao Shan, and the world will be different.
If Zhao Shan ran away, it would be difficult to destroy Zhao Shan.
Boom!
The army was traveling faster and faster. It was less than four miles away from the county seat and was about to reach the battlefield.
"Report!"
Suddenly, loud shouts came from the front.
The sentry sent by Sun Pojun ran back and said quickly: "General Qi, there is news from Xinye County. Li Buyi instigated a rebellion among the soldiers in Xinye County and opened the city gate to welcome Zhao Shan's army into the city. Currently, Xinye is being surrounded and killed. Zhao Rui’s army in the county.”
brush!
Sun Pojun's expression changed drastically, and his mind went blank for a moment. Xinye County was unexpectedly breached.
Zhao Rui is simply trash!
So useless.
Sun Pojun cursed in his heart and greeted Zhao Rui's eighteenth generation ancestors before considering whether to continue participating in the war.
After thinking for a while, Sun Pojun decided to continue participating in the war because Xinye County was still fighting. Zhao Shan's main force must be to attack Zhao Rui, and now is still an excellent time to attack Zhao Shan.
On the one hand, he can still attack Zhao Shan by surprise; on the other hand, he can also rush to Zhao Rui's aid to prevent Zhao Rui from being killed.
"The whole army speeds up and seizes the time to arrive at Xinye to join the battle."
Sun Pojun gave another order.
The speed of the army further accelerated, like a river rushing forward.
Sun Pojun continued on his way, and after walking less than a mile, another sentry came back and reported: "General Qi, Zhao Shan is coming with his troops, very close to us. Zhao Shan's cavalry is about 3,000 people, but no one has been found. Other forces."
Sun Pojun was stunned for a moment.
Zhao Shan had just entered Xinye County, and all the troops had entered. He did not go to capture the county in person, but instead turned to attack. It was really courageous.
After being surprised, Sun Pojun laughed angrily and said loudly: "A mere three thousand people dare to come. They are simply asking for death. Zhao Shan wants to die, and I will grant him today."
"Send my military order, and the whole army will stop advancing and line up on the spot."
"Order Cheng Gan to lead his troops to withdraw two miles to the right and distance themselves from the Chinese army. Order Zuo Lei to lead his troops to withdraw two miles to the left and keep distance from the Chinese army."
"Zhao Shan's cavalry is coming. I will personally lead the army to resist the enemy and block Zhao Shan's cavalry charge."
Sun Pojun made adjustments.
The 30,000-strong army stopped advancing, and the troops on the left and right wings withdrew, exposing Sun Po's central army.
Sun Pojun sat astride the horse with sharp eyes.
He knew that the Xuanjia Army was very powerful.
But his infantry are no ordinary people either.
When Zhao Shan's army arrived, he was the first to block it, and then Cheng Gan and Zuo Lei came back from the left and right wings, so that they could attack Xuan Jia's army from three sides. As long as the Xuanjia Army is stopped and the cavalry offensive is blocked, the cavalry can be killed.
This area of Nanyang County is not like the vast grasslands in the north, nor is it an area in Guanzhong where horse racing can be done.
The cavalry here in Nanyang County can charge, but they cannot disperse in a large area.
This is an opportunity to annihilate Zhao Shan.
After the army was adjusted, Sun Pojun waited quietly. Not long after, Sun Pojun heard the rumble of horse hooves in the distance. He immediately looked up and saw a black line appearing on the official road in the north. Moving quickly.
The sound of horses' hoofbeats was rapid, and the smoke and dust were billowing up. From a distance, the sound was terrifying.
Sun Pojun didn't have any impatience.
If time permits, he will arrange for people to make anti-horses and sprinkle weapons such as caltrops to deal with the cavalry. However, when the army went north, they never expected to encounter cavalry, so they did not resist horses and caltrops.
Even so, Sun Pojun was not afraid.
Sun Pojun estimated the distance. When the distance was less than a hundred steps, he decisively ordered: "Archers, shoot at full speed."
More than a thousand archers stood behind the infantry phalanx, pointing their bows and arrows at a 45-degree angle, aiming at the direction in which the Xuanjia army was running.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!!"
The bows and arrows flew through the air, and after drawing an arc, they were as dense as raindrops falling rapidly, covering the heads of the Xuanjia Army indiscriminately.
Zhao Shanzheng led Zhou Huhou and Qin Wuji to charge.
Even though there was a rain of arrows falling in front of him, Zhao Shan did not have any fear. He swung the Longyuan Sword to deflect the falling arrows and shouted: "Xuanjia Army, I am invincible!"
"Xuanjia Army, I am invincible!"
Zhou Huhou, Qin Wuji and other generals roared.
Three thousand Xuanjia troops followed and shouted.
Uniform shouts soared into the sky, and the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army had sharp eyes and skillfully waved their sabers to block.
Although many soldiers were hit by arrows, the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army were well-equipped, with helmets and armor, and even their horses were armored, completely protecting their main vital parts.
The bows and arrows hit the armor, but because the bows and arrows were not strong enough, most of the bows and arrows failed to hurt the soldiers. A few bows and arrows penetrated the armor and injured the Xuanjia army, but the injuries were not serious.
The Xuanjia Army was like an arrow leaving the string, moving very fast, and in the blink of an eye it collided with Sun Pojun's infantry.
Zhao Shan leaned over and struck down with the Long Yuan Sword.
Zhila!
The sword blade crossed, the sword broke, blood spurted out, and the soldiers blocking the road were killed.
Zhao Shan galloped on his horse and killed him in an instant. The infantry phalanx without pikemen and shield soldiers was like a chicken and a dog in front of the Xuanjia Army. Zhao Shan rushed forward immediately, and Zhou Huhou and Qin Wuji also led their soldiers to charge into the formation.
The charging force was divided into three groups, as if three swords pierced Sun Pojun's formation and continued to advance.
Sun Pojun commanded his soldiers to block the attack. Seeing the fierce offensive of Xuanjia Army, he raised his eyebrows and felt his scalp numb.
The Xuanjia Army is too strong.
Sun Pojun is a master of formation and good at blocking attacks. However, the formation set up was easily penetrated.
Sun Pojun was a little nervous, but not panicked. He steadily mobilized his soldiers to continue blocking the attack.
After arranging the deployment of troops, Sun Pojun further deceived him and said: "Zhao Shan is in the crowd. Capture Zhao Shan alive and reward ten thousand households with a thousand taels of gold. The opportunity to get rich overnight has come, and the opportunity to rise to prominence overnight has come. Kill Zhao Shan." good."
"Kill Zhao Shan!"
Sun Pojun raised his sword and shouted.
"Kill Zhao Shan!"
"Kill Zhao Shan!"
Many soldiers under Sun Pojun also shouted, their voices rising and falling one after another.
Sun Pojun's soldiers were bewitched, and even though they knew it was dangerous, they rushed forward like moths to a flame. Everyone knows that killing Zhao Shan is not easy, but everyone dreams of killing Zhao Shan and becoming rich overnight.
Sun Pojun's force blocked the Xuanjia Army's offensive, and their forward advance slowed down.
"Kill Zhao Shan, kill!"
Cheng Gan's shout came.
He had previously led 6,000 infantrymen to disperse a distance to the right wing. Now that Zhao Shan's cavalry was blocked, Cheng Gan decisively fought back.
"Kill Zhao Shan, kill him!"
Zuo Lei also shouted back.
Like Cheng Gan, he also brought six thousand elites to the battle.
Cheng Gan and Zuo Lei, one on the left and one on the right, entered the battlefield and attacked the left and right wings of the Xuan Jia Army.
Zhao Shan was rushing forward and found that the infantrymen coming from both sides were not in any panic. While killing the enemy soldiers blocking the front, he shouted an order: "Marquis Zhou Hu and Qin Wuji, unite and advance."
The messenger waved the flag, and after the news came out, Zhou Huhou and Qin Wuji quickly came to join them.
When the Xuanjia Army charged, most of the time, Zhao Shan, Qin Wuji, and Zhou Huhou each led an elite force, rushing in like three blades, stirring up the situation to the maximum extent.
Now the three of them are one, supporting each other, especially Zhou Huhou and Qin Wuji on Zhao Shan's left and right, so Zhao Shan doesn't need to take care of the left and right, he can just rush forward, faster.
The Xuanjia Army was like a giant dragon, rolling around and disrupting Sun Pojun's formation, causing the stable formation to collapse quickly. Even if the left and right wings were attacked, the Xuanjia Army's charging momentum still continued.
When Sun Pojun saw this scene, his eyes were horrified.
What a strong Xuanjia Army.
Thirty thousand people surrounded Zhao Shan's 3,000 Xuanjia army, but they were unable to stop him. Seeing that the team was about to be broken through, Sun Pojun rolled his eyes and knew that he could not stop them from the front, so he could only let Zhao Shan lead the Xuanjia Army to rush out.
Zhao Shan led the Xuanjia Army to penetrate Sun Pojun's army for the first time, then directly adjusted his direction and came back again.
"Continue to block!"
Sun Pojun was also undaunted and ordered the entire army to form an array, ready to fight head-on again.
Zhao Shan saw that Sun Po's army did not retreat, but continued to block the attack. He also had high morale and continued to charge with Xuan Jia's army. After the first time, everything became more familiar the second time, everything was smoother, and he easily penetrated Sun Pojun's formation again.
The Xuanjia Army charged continuously, and Sun Pojun resisted tenaciously.
Xuan Jia's army charged and killed them twice in succession, scattering Sun Po's 30,000-strong army. The more Xuan Jia's army charged, the fiercer the offensive became. On the contrary, Sun Po's army was already unsettled.
Sun Pojun wanted to fight again, but the soldiers were killed and their courage was broken. They lost the courage to fight again, and many soldiers fled around.
"General Sun, the Xuanjia Army is too ruthless, we can't stop it."
"General, the brothers have tried their best. It's not that we are incompetent, it's that Zhao Shan is too fierce and ruthless. Withdraw, if we continue to fight, the army will completely collapse and the brothers will be completely ruined."
The generals kept giving suggestions.
Under the charge of Xuanjia Army, Sun Pojun's generals no longer had military morale and fighting spirit, and were panicked.
