On the west bank of the Baiteng River, to the north of where Cao Jun crossed the river, Jiangdong veteran Zhu Zhi led his troops straight towards Cao Jun.
He was an old man who had fought with Sun Jian. He had served for three generations including Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan. He was quite prestigious in the Jiangdong Army. This time, he came with Sun Jiao, a descendant of the Sun family, but he was the vanguard. Sun Jiao came with him. Jiao is holding the line from behind.
The big flag with the word "zhu" was at the flag bearer behind him. He waved his whip and took the lead, followed closely by more than 300 cavalrymen.
This is a team led by a small number of cavalry, followed by infantry.
In Zhu Zhi's plan, he wanted to take advantage of Cao's army to cross the border and make the stronghold unstable, so as to catch the enemy by surprise.
However, on the way, he had already discovered that Cao Jun had separated a group of troops and headed in his direction.
"Are you ready?"
Zhu Zhi narrowed his eyes and looked back in the direction of Sun Jiao. Although the Sun family's descendants were not as talented as the Cao family, they also had some talents who could lead troops. In addition to the general Sun Bi, Sun Jian's brother Zhao Yizhong The sons of general Sun Jing were also quite capable, but among the three of Sun Yu, Sun Jiao, and Sun Huan, Sun Jiao was the most capable.
He has good military talents at a young age, and Sun Quan has high hopes for him, hoping to become a prince of the Sun family.
But after all, Sun Jiao has experienced too few battles. Today, Zhu Zhi will set an example for Sun Jiao and show him how to defeat the enemy.
"Charge!!"
In the wilderness on the west bank of the Baiteng River, the cavalry was galloping and the infantry was charging. The black mass rushed straight towards Cao Jun.
Cao Jun also set up a formation, Zhang Liao held a spear in his hand and was making final arrangements.
"My sons, you moved from the Central Plains to Jingzhou and then to Jiaozhou, traveling three thousand miles across the country, but you have to fight for this!"
The armies responded with a roar.
Amidst the roaring and tsunami-like promises, Zhang Liao pointed his gun forward, and the "Zhu" flag had already rushed in front of him.
With his eyes, he could certainly tell that the cavalry at the forefront were no ordinary soldiers.
But so what? Are the cavalry under his command ordinary cavalry?
Lu Bu died, Gao Shun lost, and the last elite of the trapped camp was in his hands. Although his financial resources were limited to less than 500, he boasted that he was no worse than the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry with these 500.
With the river rolling beside him and the sound of waves constantly coming, Zhang Liao thought of his hometown where he was trapped in the camp.
Bingzhou and Yanmen are already a world eight thousand miles away.
Most of the soldiers behind him were soldiers from the Central Plains, but they were only three or four thousand miles away from home. Only Zhang Liao and his cavalry came from eight thousand miles away.
Last night, Beifu General Cao Wu sent a poem to every good general in today's battle. What Zhang Liao received was this sentence: Eight thousand miles of clouds and moons.
From the northernmost point of the world to the southernmost point of the world, Zhang Liao only had one belief left at this moment.
Only by winning can one live up to the poems presented by General Beifu.
Eight thousand miles of clouds and moon!
It's just a head-on confrontation. I, Zhang Wenyuan, have never been afraid of anyone!
"Meet the enemy!"
Like two tides colliding, Zhu Zhibu and Zhang Liaobu were the first to encounter each other.
This was a real strangulation. There was no conspiracy or tricks, it was all about the battle between cavalry and the fight between flesh and blood.
When the infantry engaged, the battle became more brutal. People kept falling and horses kept wailing.
Zhang Liao and Zhu Zhi charged at each other in the crowd. They looked at each other from a distance. Zhu Zhi raised his long sword and charged towards Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao sneered and rushed towards the rear.
Zhu Zhi split open the attacking Cao army, frowned and looked back, suddenly shocked.
The "Sun" flag is fluttering in the wind.
"Suffer it!"
Zhu Zhi was shocked. Although Sun Jiao was young, he had an important status. He ordered Sun Jiao to sweep the formation in the rear, and Sun Jiao obeyed obediently without being conspicuous.
He did not expect that Zhang Liao had already received Lu Xun's orders and knew that the Sun descendant who could come here must be Sun Jiao. As one of the few military geniuses in the second generation of the Sun family, he must be protected.
Therefore, at the moment of charging, he was not targeting Zhu Zhi, but the "Sun" flag behind him.
Zhang Liao took the lead, and 500 cavalrymen composed of children from the original camp followed him and rushed straight to Sun Jiao's carriage.
Sun Jiao saw him from a distance. He was not surprised but overjoyed. He drew his sword and said, "General Zhu won't let me go up. The bandits are coming, but you can't blame me!"
The guard next to him was shocked and said: "You have a high status as a school captain, how can you commit a dangerous situation yourself!"
"Otherwise, I'm just trying to lure the enemy!"
Sun Jiao's eyes were bright, and he thought of the various battle formations in the military book. Since the enemy general Zhang Liao came in person, why couldn't he lure the enemy deep and then concentrate his superior forces to kill Zhang Liao?
It's just a head-on confrontation.
Sun Jiao stood up on the chariot, turned around, jumped onto his horse, waved his sword and said: "The armies are ready to meet..."
Before he finished saying the word "welcome", he was shocked to find that Zhang Liao was already approaching.
How could it be so fast?
He clearly saw Zhang Liao and Wu Bai still making a surprise attack, how could he break through all these layers of defense?
He couldn't understand it, and he didn't need to think about it because he had no chance to think about it anymore.
Zhang Liao's spear was already approaching.
It turns out that during the charge, some of Zhang Liao's 500 cavalry kept leaving to block the enemy and provide space for others to charge. Along the way, from 500 cavalry to 300 cavalry, only a few of them followed Zhang Liao to the front of Sun Jiao. Dozens of people.
But to deal with Sun Jiao, who only had a small number of cavalry guards, these dozens of cavalry were enough.
The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life.
It's just a head-on confrontation.
The gun came out and went straight into Sun Jiao's eyebrows.
Zhang Liao used both arms to lift Sun Jiao up in the air.
It was not until this moment that the horses under Sun Jiao's crotch thought of running away. The war horses left Lululu, and the Jiangdong Army's military morale also left this small area.
Sun Jiao's guards looked at all this with dumbfounded eyes. They didn't understand why the cavalry suddenly rushed here, and then their captain disappeared.
This is Sun Quan's cousin. Those who follow Sun Jiao understand Sun Jiao's status in the Sun family best.
Sun Quan had placed his hope that Sun Jiao could become a clan leader like Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren who would supervise one side of the war, but he died.
And he died so miserably.
Sun Jiao's body was dangling in the air. The guards wanted to grab it, but when they saw the look in Zhang Liao's eyes, no one dared to take action.
As a result, on the northern battlefield, Jiangdong's army began to riot with Sun Jiao's body as the center of the circle.
In the distance, Zhu Zhi's eyes were about to burst. He wanted to return reinforcements, but he had no reason to do so. He wanted to charge, but he couldn't.
"Sun Jiao is dead, Zhu Zhi surrender quickly!"
"Sun Quan's thief cousin Sun Jiao is dead. The rebellion has been eliminated. Please surrender immediately!"
Such shouts began to spread among Cao's army, and soon all the troops behind him knew about Sun Jiao's death.
What made Zhu Zhi even more angry was that Cao Jun did not forget to add Sun Jiao's identity.
Everyone in the Jiangdong Army did not know Sun Jiao's identity. When Cao Jun pointed it out, everyone was confused.
They were all afraid that the clan's death would implicate themselves, and their military morale suddenly collapsed.
In the crowd, Zhu Zhi shouted loudly. In the entire Zhu Zhi department, only some people near Zhu Zhi could control it. The other soldiers obviously did not listen to the command.
"Ah, ah! Zhang Liao is a thief!"
Zhu Zhi was so anxious that he slapped his face, but no matter what, his unit was already defeated and it was only a matter of time before it was wiped out.
…
One day ago, Cao Wu and Lu Xun were strolling along the bank of the Baiteng River. At that time, Cao Wu just proposed the tactic of crossing the river to invite the emperor to enter the urn. Lu Xun was shocked by this bold idea.
Cao Wu expressed another idea.
His generals are all real battlefield heroes. In this battle, he decided to rely on the strength of each general to fight, tailor-made a tactic for each general, and rely on his personal strength to defeat the Jiangdong Army.
Of course, the plan was made in advance, and at the execution level, Lu Xun needed to adapt to changes.
After Cao Wu proposed this idea, Lu Xun instantly understood the horror of this tactic.
Without Cao Wu, no one would be able to take advantage of the generals of Cao's army. Without Lu Xun, no one would be able to know the disadvantages of the generals of Jiangdong's army.
As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and win every battle. Cao Wu and Lu Xun achieved this.
So, on the bank of the river that was about to become a battlefield, Cao Wu talked with Lu Xun for a long time.
The first sentence he said was: "Zhang Wenyuan, the general of the bandits, is absolutely right in arranging his troops, but he is best at attacking the enemy's key targets with a small number of cavalry. It is best to put him in a position where he can kill the opponent's generals and disintegrate them." Where the opponent’s morale is high.”
Lu Xun nodded and remembered.
Therefore, when Lu Xun saw the "Sun" flag among the enemy troops, Zhang Liao's flag was destined to appear in the north of the battle formation.
In this battle coming from all directions, Cao Jun conquered the city first.
Next, there are still several tough battles to be fought.
