Sun Jian couldn't help being a little surprised and a little hesitant when he saw that Han Dang's troops had successfully entered the enemy's formation. Logically speaking, the Liang people had more cavalry, so they should send more knights to fight Han Dang. An unexpected situation occurred, which made him think anxiously: "Ah! Could it be that Thief Dong has some conspiracy?" So Sun Jian paused for a moment. , instead of pressing the Chinese army up, they continued to wait and see the battle situation of Han Dang's troops.
But as the war progressed, Sun Jian reacted keenly: Dong Zhuo's rear group had not yet completed its formation! This news made him excited and excited, but it didn't show on his face. Instead, Sun Jian used a cold tone to urge the soldiers: "Bang 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, the only difference between them and the elites was watered by blood. They formed a square formation at this time, all looking at the battle in the distance, feeling uneasy, but their chests were surging because of the killing shouts in front of them. 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, an ups and downs of sound was formed 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 fighting formation ahead, Han Dang and Li Jue were fighting hard to distinguish themselves. Han Dang chopped off Li Jue's knife, and Li Jue killed Han Dang's mount with his backhand, so that Han Dang had to switch to another equally tall yellow gelding. However, the two fought for half an hour, but neither could break through the opponent's armor defense. , I have to admit in my heart that the other party is the best warrior in the world.
Seeing Sun Jian's main force advancing, Li Jue no longer struggled with Han Dang. His horse was better than Han Dang's, and Han Dang couldn't catch up with him. The four horsemen in front of him gathered together and tried to attack him in front of him. Li Jue ignored the swords and leaned over to grab the horse's neck. This pretending horse shouted loudly. The neighing sound was like the cry of an eagle, and the Jing cavalry were shocked. However, their mounts, blindfolded and ears plugged, still ran forward regardless, colliding with the pretended horse, and one after another they were knocked over by Li Juequan. Li Jue stood up straight. He didn't dare to stay, and he felt a bit regretful 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, Ryoto clamped his spear and drew his bow on his horse to fight back. Since the Jing people charged forward against the arrow feathers, it was easier for the Liang people's sharp arrows to penetrate the breastplates of them and their mounts. 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 encouraged loudly: "Han Sima is fighting in front! Are we going to fall behind others?" So he took a With a long sword in his hand, he charged towards the enemy formation with his personal 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, but who would have expected that now he was the first to charge into the enemy's formation with a cluster of arrows. The lagging Jingqi felt quite ashamed when they saw this situation, so they cheered up 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 was not something that could be accomplished with just one attack. The vanguards of the Jing Cavalry first broke through a small section of the front line, and then they had to stop and engage in a bloody battle with the Liang Riders in front of them, stabilizing the broken front line behind them. , the knights from the Chinese army came up in a steady stream. 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. This was repeated, 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 formation also stood still and watched Han Dang and Li Jue's formation fight. This is not only a matter of trust in Li Jue, but also because Sun Jian's army has not moved. If a vanguard disrupts the formation, it will easily expose the weaknesses of the flanks. It is better to continue 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 stretched due to the punching, and turned into a cone. Guo Bang realized that the opportunity to fight was approaching, and immediately raised his horse and raised his hooves, raising his knife high among the soldiers. His followers understood and raised the knife. It was already noon, and the sunlight was absorbed under the blade, and the sharpened blades interacted with each other. The reflection actually formed a shining brilliance that was hard to look at. Guo Si moved first, followed closely by his subordinates. 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 man!" The sergeant on the mountain immediately beat the drum and shouted like thunder. Support Guo Si's rise. When Sun Jian saw that the coming general was Guo Si, he was a little worried about Zhu Zhisheng. He said to his nephew Xu Kun: "Hurry up and help Zhu Sima. Fighters are hard to find. We must not let the Liang people block the offensive!"
Xu Kun repeatedly agreed, but after more than a mile, he led his followers forward and saw Liang Ren's sword flashing in the distance. For a moment, timidity prevailed in his heart. Instead, he slowed down his horse and said to his subordinates, "Liang Ren is here." The momentum is strong now, it is better to wait for it to weaken a little, then we can attack again and we will definitely win!"
As a result, all the pressure was on Zhu Zhibu. Zhu Zhi never thought about backup. When he saw Guo Si running from a distance, he immediately suspended the offensive and urged all knights to stabilize the battle line. Then he hastily gathered more than a hundred Jingqi, walked out from 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. There was an arrow and a long knife in the leg, which looked extremely uncoordinated.
Liangqi on both sides saw him passing through, and before he collided with Guo Bang, they opened their bows and fired arrows at him. However, Zhu Zhi's horse also had iron armor hanging in front of it to prevent arrows. He was hidden in the saddle armor to avoid arrow feathers. Only a few arrows hit him, but none of them could penetrate the armor or flesh. When Guo Bang saw that Zhu Zhi was about to charge, he immediately led his troops and planned to annihilate him first. Unexpectedly, when the hundreds of Jings rode more than a hundred steps away from him, they suddenly stood up, turned their horses' heads, and turned their horses sideways to face the enemy. …
Zhu Zhi turned to the left, held the arrow in his right hand and shot out an arrow, hitting Yiliangqi in the middle. The man immediately fell from his horse on his back. The Jingqi around him followed him and charged several times before the Liangqi finally caught up with them and fought hand-to-hand with them. Zhu Zhi then pulled out his big knife and slashed. Guo Bang saw that Zhu Zhi was good at shooting, so he stabbed him with a spear. Zhu Zhi ducked between the saddles, and when the two horses were crossing each other, he suddenly stabbed forward with a big knife. The big knife struck Guo Bin hard on his breastplate, and the armor plate was cut. The meat was inserted into the gap and slid over the right breast, and the blade of the knife was rolled up immediately. Guo Bang let out a cry of pain and took the opportunity to stab Zhu Zhi in the ankle.
The two riders were walking in opposite directions. Guo Bang covered his chest, but Zhu Zhi endured the severe pain in his feet as if nothing had happened. Seeing this situation, the Liangqi couldn't help but exclaim: "This man is very powerful, stay away from him."
Xu Kun watched Liang Qi calm down from a distance, and then led his troops to come to support. Seeing that there was backup, Zhu Zhi immediately rode his horse and charged forward. Liang Qi was unable to stop him and allowed him to return to Xu Kun. Zhu Zhi threw the big knife to the ground and said, "This knife is no longer useful. Exchange it with me." Xu Kun saw that the big knife was stained with blood, and there were many gaps on the blade. The arrow feathers were like a hedgehog, and he exclaimed: "You will know how many enemies you have killed when you see this sword. A man has the courage of a bear, why should he be afraid of the light of the sword?" He was ashamed of his behavior, exchanged his favorite sword for Zhu Zhi, and gave it to Zhu Zhi. With a quiver filled with fifty 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 Falling into a state 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 strong 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!"
The last cavalry to enter the formation was finally completed. Dong Zhuo ordered Xu Rong to dispatch with flags and drums from 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 Jingren side to the Liangren side. The two armies have been fighting for two full hours. The soldiers in front are very tired. He knows that he is responsible for the decisive blow, so he repeatedly warned his officers: "Follow my flag, if I Hurry, wait as fast as you can, and you will have enough energy 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 plume of smoke and dust was raised on the ground.
