Liu Chan calculated the time and calculated based on the urgent march, Guan Ershu's army should not be more than ten miles away from Jiangling at this time, and the vanguard might be closer.
As for the possibility that Uncle Guan Er will not send troops or delay sending troops...
He was confident that as long as the news about him in Jiangling was sent, Uncle Guan would immediately come back to help.
Wu Jun was not feinting to retreat. They had not been besieging the city for the first day, and they had already played this trick.
From the way they showed no response to his provocation and no interest in attacking the city, it was obvious that they had been given a death order by Lu Xun.
The task is probably to keep an eye on the defenders in Jiangling City and wait for Sun Quan's army to arrive before making a decision.
At this time, if you resort to feinting to retreat, there is no doubt that it will be successful. If the feinting retreat causes a key person to escape by relying on his horse power...for example, the crown prince of Hanzhong himself.
Even if the generals of this army have a few more heads, they won't be enough to kill one hundred thousand comrades.
Moreover, when the opponent retreats, they try to maintain their formation, and the rear troops retreat first, appearing very vigilant and methodical.
If they had no reinforcements and wanted to lure them out of the city, they could have acted more disorganized.
He didn't have a large-scale cavalry, so it wouldn't be too late to adjust his formation after he left the city.
Now Jiangling only has a small garrison. They are so careful and vigilant even though they are luring the enemy. Who are they luring?
The defender, whose name had not yet been revealed, hesitated and said: "Prince, is the other party doing this on purpose and intending to lure our troops out of the city? With your status as the prince, you cannot be put in danger. If you want to send someone out of the city to fight, , I am willing to take people there!"
Liu Chan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the military lord with admiration: "What's your name?"
For junior officers, it is no longer easy to see this step.
The military lord cupped his fists and said, "My subordinate, Wang Zuo."
Liu Chan was amused after hearing this: "What a good name. You are careful in dealing with things. You are not an ordinary straightforward warrior. Being a little military prince is a bit unworthy. If you can save your life after this battle, you should go up one step further."
Wang Zuo was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you so much, Prince!"
Judging that the enemy must have detected Guan Ershu's reinforcements, Liu Chan made a prompt decision, led his troops in full armor, and fought out from the west city gate.
But he only brought the next 700 people with him. Shen Zhong and others who had stayed in Jiangling before had not practiced the formation given by Uncle Zhuge, so they were left in the city by Liu Chan.
Most of the infantry stayed not far from the city gate, drawing their bows and setting up crossbows, ready to provide cover and support at any time.
When leaving the city to raid, if the infantry goes too far out of the city, it is very likely that they will not be able to come back unless they have defeated the enemy.
Once they get into a melee with the enemy, even if they retreat to the city gate, the defenders in the city will not be able to open the door.
There were only 39 riders who followed Liu Chan out of the suspension bridge.
【Unyielding Trigger】
[gentian trigger]
"I'm not very proficient in large-scale cavalry operations, formations, and coordinated tactics. I'll find someone else to teach you later. Today I'll first demonstrate how to charge into formation alone. After all, I'm familiar with this."
Liu Chan muttered to Li Er and others behind him as he walked, without any sense of nervousness at all.
It seemed that he was planning to take this opportunity to give a cavalry lesson.
He wasn't bragging. He had been "practicing" this matter since he was a baby.
"drive!"
After Liu Chan said that, he suddenly rode alone and rushed towards the retreating Wu army on the opposite side!
The black horse under its crotch galloped with all four hooves, raising waves of dirt and dust.
Wu Jun was startled and wanted to shoot his bow and arrow at Liu Chan.
"As Liu Gong's heir, come and fight to the death together!" Liu Chan, who was full of fighting spirit, saw the opportunity and took a sip of Dantian Qi and shouted loudly.
【Trigger of drinking stop】
Liu Chan, whose voice-changing period has ended, now has a loud and majestic voice, which is 60-70% similar to that of Old Liu.
This was the line that the third uncle yelled when Chang Banpo blocked the water and broke the bridge. Coupled with the triggering of the breaking drink characteristic, it resounded throughout Jiangling and shocked all the soldiers of Wu Army.
The timid ones even couldn't help but even took a few steps back, opened their bows and fired arrows.
But when I heard it in my own ears, I just felt my blood boiling and my morale rising.
"The prince is so majestic that he is truly a god descending to earth!" Wang Zuo, who was staying on top of the city, couldn't help but praise him, but at the same time he was worried.
Shen Zhong on the side was used to it. His blind worship and huge confidence in the prince made him not think there was anything wrong with Liu Chan attacking the opponent's army.
Anyway, with the prince's ability, it would be best if he could kill and scatter the enemy troops. If he could not be killed, no one would be able to keep him.
It has to be said that when blind worship reaches a certain level, people's thinking logic is often reshaped.
In Shen Zhong's eyes, these people are ants compared to the prince, and all his thinking is based on this basis...
Taking advantage of the short period of time when the enemy was bluffed by Duanhe, Liu Chan had already ridden his horse and plunged into the enemy's battle formation!
[Triggered alone]
[Physique increased to: Extraordinary physique]
[Equestrian talent rises to: rare in the world]
[The talent of long soldiers has been increased to: rare in the world]
puff!
In Wu Jun's horrified eyes, Liu Chan had already thrust his spear into the chest of a soldier.
He swung the spear in his hand and used the huge momentum of the horse to throw the soldier out as a throwing weapon. All the soldiers he hit fell into a gourd.
By the time Wu Jun reacted and tried to stab him with his spear and halberd, Liu Chan had already galloped far away.
Wu Jun, who wanted to shoot with a bow, also lost the opportunity. Liu Chan was already in a melee with his own people. In this case, if he shot an arrow, he might think that the friendly troops would not die quickly enough.
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow! The enemy is just a man riding alone, why are you hesitating! Whoever takes the head of Liu Chan's son will be rewarded with five hundred catties of gold!"
The enemy general shouted loudly, and at the same time, the messenger who received the order issued an attack signal.
However, this kind of order chilled the hearts of the soldiers under his command, and a sense of disgust arose spontaneously.
No general takes their lives seriously, they are just a number on the battlefield.
No one thought that they still had wives, children, and families, and they were the backbone of their family's life.
In this case, when arrows were ordered to be fired, most of the casualties were among the own people.
But in the end, if Liu Chan dies, the credit will only be recorded to the general who gave the order.
Everyone is just hanging out for a living, no one wants to be shot to death by friendly forces. I can shoot him today, but someone else will shoot me tomorrow.
The morale of the Wu army dropped. Most of them drew their bows and released their arrows, but most of them flew towards uninhabited places.
The essence of the one-hand stroke shooting method was vividly displayed by Wu Jun.
Occasionally, there will be those who are blinded by money. Liu Chan often misses the shot but shoots the unfortunate teammate to death.
"Trash! Order the rear troops to stop retreating and surround the little Liu Chan!" The general was furious, pointing at Liu Chan who was rushing left and right in the military formation, as if he was in a deserted land, and shouted.
A young man standing next to him, who was strong and strong and had a fierce face, said anxiously: "No, General! The spies have come to report that Guan Yu's army is less than ten miles away from our army. If we don't leave, it will be too late! What he wants to do is to keep us here." Stay!"
"Bastard! The enemy's army is no more than a small boy. He rode into our formation alone and you asked me to withdraw?!" The general said with a stern tone, "It won't be too late to withdraw after Liu Chan is captured."
"General!" The young man wanted to say more, but was interrupted sharply by the general.
"Ding Feng! You are no more than a general, and it is not your turn to issue orders here. Don't think that having achieved a few military merits and being appreciated by the army general means you have no military discipline!"
After saying that, the general suddenly raised his eyebrows again: "Oh~ Could it be that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and are you afraid of that kid Liu Chan?"
Ding Feng clenched his fists tightly and almost shattered his teeth. He was at a young age, how could he withstand such excitement?
Even though he knew clearly that this birdman was jealous of his being praised by Lu Xun for his knowledge and deliberately tricked him, Ding Feng still cupped his fists and said, "General, lead the troops and retreat first. I will attack Liu Chan myself!"
After saying that, he galloped towards Liu Chan, who was killing everyone in the military formation.
"Liu Chan, don't be arrogant! Ding Feng from Lujiang is here!" Ding Feng came around to Liu Chan and stabbed him with his spear.
"Well done!"
Liu Chan flexibly lay down on the horse. After letting go of the thrust, the spear pole swiped as the two horses crossed each other, and hit Ding Feng's abdomen heavily.
Ding Feng grunted and was swept off his horse in just one round.
Liu Chan tugged on the reins, causing the horse to rise up. He took advantage of the situation and stabbed Ding Feng on the ground.
Although Ding Feng was still shocked after falling off his horse, he rolled like a lazy donkey and narrowly avoided the fatal blow. However, the leather jacket on his head was knocked off and his hair became disheveled.
"Boy, you are very skilled. Is your name Ding Feng?" Liu Chan said with a smile, obviously still not using his full strength.
Although Ding Feng was knocked off his horse in just one round, he showed no fear.
"That's Ding Feng!" Ding Feng who replied was secretly shocked. When he got closer, he realized that Liu Chan looked smaller than himself.
Liu Chan beat the horse and ran out, stabbing two more Wu soldiers to death. He waited for the horse to pick up the horse and killed them again.
Ding Feng stood upright with his gun on the ground, looking for an opportunity to stab Liu Chan off his horse.
However, when Liu Chan approached, Ding Feng, who had already calculated the timing, suddenly found that Liu Chan's horse speed increased by another gear, and he suddenly slowed down by half a beat.
Snapped!
Ding Feng narrowly blocked Liu Chan's blow, but the gun in his hand was knocked away. Ding Feng, who was sitting on the ground, pulled out a short knife from his waist, stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but he still didn't run away.
When Liu Chan saw this, he couldn't help but secretly praise him, this guy is a man.
Returning for the third time, Liu Chan deliberately held back his hand. Ding Feng barely managed to dodge the attack again, so he tried to fight back with the short sword in his hand.
Unexpectedly, Liu Chan, who had thrust his spear into the air, raised and shook his hands, and slapped Ding Feng hard on the back with a phoenix head, causing him to lose his balance immediately.
Liu Chan pulled the reins and the black horse turned sharply. He bent down and fished it out with his long arm...
"Come here!" He actually grabbed Ding Feng by the collar of his armor with one hand!
Ding Fengren, who had no more weapons in his hands, struggled in mid-air: "Put me down!"
It's just that he had nowhere to draw on, and the horse was jolting, so he couldn't pose a threat to Liu Chan for a while.
Liu Chan sneered and said, "Be honest, maybe I can spare your life."
"oh--!"
Boom boom boom!
Seeing that Liu Chan actually captured the local general alive in the enemy's formation, people from all over the city tower cheered in unison, beating war drums to increase momentum for Liu Chan, who was showing off his might.
"I'm talking about Li Junhou, this... how the hell do you learn this?" Hu Li pointed at Liu Chan, who was like a tiger among sheep, with a bitter look on his face.
Li Er poked him in the stomach with his gun and scolded him with a smile: "Are you trying to learn how to use a hammer? Are you looking for death? Let's take a look at this, but we don't want to start learning..."
Hu Li nodded repeatedly, deeply convinced...
"Trash, they are all a bunch of trash!" The enemy general was filled with hatred, but he refused to move even half a step forward, "Strong on the outside but weak on the inside, useless!"
"General, the general is in trouble!" Suddenly a messenger came on horseback and shouted, "Guan Yu has led his army from the northwest!"
"What?!" The general's expression changed, "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
Having said that, he didn't care what happened to his soldiers, so he fled first.
When Liu Chan saw that the enemy troops were starting to turn around and flee, he knew that his second uncle must have arrived, so he immediately raised his spear and waved it three times.
"kill--!"
Li Er roared and rushed over with 39 cavalry behind him, ready to join the battle group.
Only part of the infantry team under the city was left to guard the city gate, while the others tried their best to maintain their formation and rush over.
At the same time, hundreds of cavalrymen rushed in from the northwest of Jiangling. Two large flags danced in the wind, and the words "Guan" and "Liu" were written on them...
