Chapter 1283 Encounter
"Kill!!"
Although Sun Ce was a little stunned in the face of the Jingzhou reinforcements waiting in front of him. But at this moment, his morale is like a rainbow, which is a good opportunity to take advantage of the victory and expand the results of the battle. Therefore, Sun Ce, who has always been arrogant, did not stop at all. Instead, he wanted to use this momentum to completely destroy the fighting spirit of Jingzhou's soldiers.
Unfortunately, this time, he was wrong. Moreover, it is very wrong.
The army in front of him is not like the army he usually sees. In the face of the overwhelming charge of 3,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry, their strict army did not mean any loosening. It can even be seen that some horse-riding generals mixed in the military array waved to him slightly, and the meaning of provocation was self-evident.
Sun Ce was suddenly burned by his fierce anger. He roared forward and vowed to pick off the horses for those who dared to flirt with his tiger beard in Jiangdong. However, just about 300 steps away from the enemy, his hot body seemed to be wiped out by cold water - behind the solid shield, there were countless cold arrows shining!
"Impossible, right?" Sun Ce was a little suspicious that there were still many defeated soldiers in Jingzhou in front of him. Do these people want to shoot their robes all at once?!
But as soon as this idea rose, the ruthless reality shattered the fluke in Sun Ce's heart. The arrows in the phalanx were like a rainstorm, with a sharp wind, and fell fiercely on the way forward from the army! The overwhelming arrows almost covered the sun in the sky, and Sun Ce only felt that the clear sky dimmed. The only thought in my heart is: Is this Jingzhou army crazy? How many arrows are so wasted?!
But the reality was too late for Sun Ce to think about it. Instead of retreating, he rushed towards the phalanx. Because he knows that the arrows shot like this can only be avoided by moving forward, and there is only one way to retreat!
Fortunately, the Jiangdong knight behind him also knew this. Maybe they don't know, but they believe in Sun Ce. They are all veterans who have been fighting with Sun Ce for many years and have a mythical superstition about Sun Ce's invincible battle. They are determined, vicious, and don't care about life and death, and their own and others don't care. The only thing I care about is the figure of the master in front of me.
Unfortunately, this time their will did not sublimate their bodies. The wild rain of arrows fell in an instant, and many rushing cavalry rolled down from the horse, with at least three crossbows inserted in their bodies, and then they were trampled into a pool of meat mud by the subsequent cavalry. After a rain of arrows, Sun Ce, who stopped fluctuating the spear in his hand, suddenly looked back and couldn't believe his eyes!
The 3,000 knights who followed him closely before could keep up with less than 2,000 people, and there were only a few dozen people around him! The first round of arrow rain in front of the army was completely concentrated, and 3,000 cavalry were cut into two sections with the death of bows and arrows! Sun Ce has never seen such a precise dense crossbow killing - which is not the same as the Jingzhou army in his impression!
He instantly thought that although at least 5,000 crossbows were fired this time, the results of no less than 1,000 people were not a waste of indiscriminate use of arrows, but a global tactical prelimination! The cavalry's charge has always been the sharpness of the battle, but after this round of arrow rain, the rear horse must be frightened and will pause the charge for at least half a moment. But once the offensive on the battlefield hesitates, it will bring completely unpredictable consequences!
5,000 arrows in exchange for the reversal of morale, such tactics are exquisite, which can only be obtained by years of killing and condensing! - The army in front of him is by no means an ordinary reinforcement, and is likely to be the elite of Ma Chao, the king of Yong or Cao Cao Cao, the king of Wei!
"Who is ahead, report your name quickly!" Sun Ce raised his spear and roared, and his turbulent body immediately took up the bravery of Jiang Dong's children behind him.
But Ma Chao was unmoved at all. He stared at the situation on the court and continued to order coldly: "Change guns in the first two rows in front of you. Let's see if Sun Ce dares to go forward!"
No one responded, and the arrow rain still kept shooting. Sun Ce felt a kind of insult of contempt. He suddenly turned around and shouted at dozens of guards around him, "Do you dare to charge with me?"
"Why don't you dare!" Dozens of relatives replied with emotion.
Sun Ce laughed proudly and stepped forward again, but when he saw that it was only 50 steps away from the phalanx, he was about to crack: a more powerful gun suddenly flew in front of him! Moreover, what's more shameless is that the front soldiers also untied the iron thisburra from their waist and threw them fiercely before rejecting the horse gun, forming a jungle on the ground that is difficult to enter.
Sun Ce waved his spear to provoke a throwing gun, and he was inexplicably angry: Who is this subordinate and what kind of tactics?! Why is every ring so calm and every step so precise! Before the war, their cold fighting atmosphere like a fighting machine has already made them anxious and angry!
Sun Ce is not a fool, let alone a reckless fool. Seeing that the opportunity had been lost, he gritted his teeth and cried back and shouted, "Withdraw!" After saying that, he immediately fled from the battlefield with a pony, and many Jiangdong soldiers were not enjoined. But Sun Ce is really a natural commander. When he rushed in front of the generals, he deliberately shouted: "Those who do not follow the military order will be killed without mercy!"
Soon, the soldiers and horses from Jiangdong who came from afar saw Sun Ce. Although he was a little puzzled about this military order, Sun Ce's prestige in the army was at its best, and no one questioned it for a moment. Almost in an instant, the originally menacing army formed a turning point at the 500-step point of Ma Chao. Those Jiangdong children looked at the battle array in front of them with arrogance, confusion or astonishment, and then turned away!
"King Yong, order to pursue!" Huo Jun rushed to Ma Chao's side, hugged his fist and begged for orders, "If you don't take advantage of the victory to pursue it, really..." He suddenly stopped here, because he realized that it was the Nanyang elite under Ma Chao who created such a miracle of defeating Sun Ce's army without casualties. Although the king of Yong in front of him is about the same age as him, his battle experience is 100 times better than him, and his reputation as the god of war is beyond doubt!
Sure enough, Ma Chao said a word, and Huo Jun was more sure of his speculation. Ma Chao looked at Sun Ce's flying figure, without the previous disdainful contempt, but a trace of solemnity: "The first encounter between the two armies is not the time of life and death, and Sun Ce's retreat is so decisive and straightforward. Although the military array is slightly chaotic, the morale has not fallen. Moreover, the situation ahead is unknown. Sun Ce still has more than 100,000 troops in hand. It is not a good strategy to pursue him rashly. Or collect the defeated soldiers and converge with Liu Bei of the Weijiang River.
After saying this, Ma Chao was no longer in charge of the military array. Those aftercare matters will naturally be replaced by others. He just looked at Pang Tong with a smiling face, with a vague regret in his heart: this encounter was really just an encounter. But it was this encounter that made Sun Ce see his Ma family-style battle. At present, although there are small wins, there are more losses. A genius like Sun Ce will definitely treat it with a hundred times more carefully after he returns with shame. In this way, if you spend several years of energy to create a technological advantage across this era, you will lose a little suddenness - this is another sense that the gains outweigh the losses.
"Pang Tong, what is the difference between the victory and defeat in the North-South War?"
"Of course, you will still win," Pang Tong still did not change his previous judgment, but this time with a bit of gloating: "However, winning may be more troublesome..."
"Well," Ma Chao nodded blankly. After allowing the smile on Pang Tong's face to bloom, he looked very serious and said, "It seems that we have to rely more on Liu Bei's Zhuge Liang this time. I can't say, I want to agree to Huang Lao's request to marry A Chou to Zhuge Liang..."
The smile on Pound's face was immediately replaced by a trace of anger. He turned to Ma Chao fiercely and shouted, "Ma Chao, are you stiring me?"
"Yes," Ma Chao pulled out the seven-star knife at the bottom of his boot and turned around, successfully grasping the initiative of the topic: "After many years, I found a rule that the conspiracy is not terrible. The terrible thing is that those who are obviously easy to be recognized by the opponent, but the other party still has to jump in are the most terrible. I don't care whether you fall in love with Ah Chou or not, but it won't hurt me if I can use her to force you. Saying this, Ma Chao smiled, touched Pang Tong's face, and said with a smile, "What's more, I'm not going to kill Ah Chou, right?"
"Good!" Pang Tong gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will help you set a plan, but you also have to promise me a condition."
"say."
"You are not allowed to call Ah Chou in the future. This is not what you should call."
Ma Chao was stunned, but looking at the terrible and lovely teenager in front of him, he suddenly smiled and said, "What do you think of the name 'Yueying'?"
In the Han Dynasty, women's names were generally extremely confidential. Generally, it is not until the time of marriage that after the betrothal gift is sent in the south, the process of 'name-inscription' is carried out to know the woman's boudoir name. And if Ma Chao says Huang Yueying's full name, it is only possible for the two families to make friends.
Pang Tong was immediately shocked and angry, but since Liu Xie was completely defeated by Ma Chao, he felt as if he had no ability to deal with Ma Chao, leaving only the sadness of being played by Ma Chao in the palm of his hand. But in anger, he felt a kind of closeness that he had never experienced before, and he didn't know how to speak now.
However, at this time, Ma Chao's expression has returned to solemnity and said to Pang Tong, "Okay, I promise you. However, don't be careless. The premise of this condition is that you have to succeed... Behind the guy Sun Ce, there is another Zhou Yu who is not easy to deal with.
