Chapter 140 Ziyi Battles Bo Fu
At the same time, Sun Ce also sent a messenger to report to Jiangdu, asking Sun Ben to quickly send follow-up troops to support, and at the same time, he asked Qiao Rui stationed in Liyang to move quickly, directly Go down the river and meet at Guangling.
Suddenly, Sun Ce heard a noise outside and Song Qian walked in.
"Lord, Xuzhou Army reinforcements have arrived."
"What!?"
Sun Ce stood up suddenly, with surprise on his face: "How could it be so fast?"
He thought that his group had descended from the sky like magic soldiers. According to Sun Ce's information, the vanguard of the Xuzhou Army was the fastest. We have only arrived at Gaoyou. We will have to arrive at Guangling the day after tomorrow at the earliest. How could it be so fast?
“Let’s go!”
Sun Ce asked his attendants to put on his armor again, and then led Song Qian and others out.
“Where is the vanguard of the Xuzhou Army?”
After Sun Ce mounted his horse, he asked Song Qian.
Song Qian took Sun Ce's black fine iron spear and handed it to Sun Ce. He replied: "It's at the east gate, but I can't see clearly through the fire barrier. But the morale on the other side is very high, and they cheer continuously. , It should be impossible to do anything false.”
Sun Ce nodded and rode away.
Song Qian quickly got on his horse and followed.
By the time Sun Ce arrived at the front line, the fire barrier had gradually become smaller.
Through the fire, Sun Ce saw a high-spirited man on the opposite side, riding a horse, looking over here.
After seeing Sun Ce, the general seemed to smile, and he took out his strong bow. He seemed to pause for a moment after raising it, and a meteor shot out from the string, and in an instant he was in front of Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was immediately shocked. He sidestepped to let the arrow come. He only heard a scream behind him. It turned out that the soldier following Sun Ce failed to dodge, and he was hit in the middle of the forehead, and the force penetrated his helmet.
The soldier immediately fell off his horse, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Sun Ce was shocked and suddenly became furious: "What a good thief, how dare you plot against Nai Gong!"
The person opposite was none other than Tai Shi Ci.
Hearing this, he laughed loudly: "If you shoot in battle, why is it a plot? You are a kid with a yellow mouth, and you are talking nonsense. That's all, I am afraid that you will cry, and I will give you three points."
< br>When Sun Ce heard this, he was even more furious. He actually ignored the fire barrier in front of him which had become much smaller. He clamped the horse's belly and went straight for Taishi Ci.
Song Qian and others were shocked and hurried to follow.
Taishici raised his arm and stopped the cavalry behind him: "I don't need your help, I will capture him myself. You just stand by and watch me capture the thief."
Taishi Ci's move showed, firstly, the confidence and dignity of a top military general, and secondly, he acted according to the opportunity.
At this moment, time is on Sun Ce's side, but Sun Ce has obviously forgotten this.
As long as you hold back Sun Ce, you are holding back the entire Sun family army. This will undoubtedly buy a lot of time for the follow-up support of the Xuzhou Army.
If we can capture it in one fight, we can immediately turn defeat into victory, and even capture Guangling City directly.
At that time, I will have achieved the first success of this march south and the miraculous achievement of capturing the enemy general at the same time.
Based on these three points, Taishi Ci felt that it didn't matter if he let the other party shoot an arrow.
Sun Ce raised the black fine iron spear high and attacked Taishi Ci's face.
Taishici was unhurried, and the spear in his hand drew an arc at the far corner, hitting the opponent's spear tip at the end.
Both sides were shocked by each other's strength.
“This guy has so much strength.”
"How can this young brat have such strange strength?"
Of course Sun Ce did not expect that this despicable coward who stabbed others in the back could have such strength, and Taishi Ci also did not expect that Sun Ce, a yellow-tongued kid, had such strength. So big.
Both parties unanimously put away their contempt.
Taishici directly opened fire with full force, opening and closing widely. The spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake, hiding murderous intent and waiting for the opportunity to move.
Sun Ce, on the other hand, was content and undaunted, attacking with attack. The black iron spear turned into a dragon and turned the river upside down.
The two sides had only been fighting for less than ten seconds, but the spear tips had already collided several times. This shows that the two men's marksmanship was equally good, and they were looking for the same opportunities.
Seeing this scene, the hundreds of warriors around were dazzled and frightened. I just feel that with my own ability, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive under the hands of these two people.
As the fighting time went by, the younger Sun Ce actually took the initiative to move forward and wanted to fight hand-to-hand. He was obviously more confident in his own strength and endurance.
A flash of surprise flashed across Tai Shici's face, and then he sneered, deliberately letting the opponent get closer, and at the most critical distance, he shot the opponent directly in the heart.
For a moment, the Xuzhou Military Office erupted in applause, but Sun Ce's Military Office was completely silent. They all stared nervously at Sun Ce's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Sun Ce had anticipated this and deliberately exposed the flaw.
When Taishi Ci's spear came out like a dragon, he was so brave and skilled that he just dodged sideways and let the spear stick under his arm. Then he clamped his arms and trapped the opponent's spear.
This set of movements was so smooth that if there was even the slightest mistake, Sun Ce would have either been shot to death or seriously injured.
But now, Sun Ce had the upper hand with his strength and clamped the opponent's spear.
“Okay!”
Now it was Sun Cejun's turn to shout loudly, and the evildoer even mocked the Xuzhou military formation.
However, due to Taishi Ci's force in drawing the gun, Sun Ce could only hold the gun with his right hand and stabbed Taishi Ci's throat in the air.
Tai Shici was also so bold that he refused to dodge when he saw Sun Ce's sharp spear point piercing his throat.
The Xuzhou army was suddenly silent and everyone was nervous. In their eyes, Taishi Ci seemed to be waiting to die.
Unexpectedly, when Sun Ce's spear was delivered to Taishi Ci, he suddenly tilted his head back, reached out with his right hand, pinched the body of the spear behind the tip with great precision, and then took it to him. .
"The general is mighty!"
The Xuzhou army formation burst out with a shocking shout, and their morale suddenly rose. They felt that Taishi Ci was extraordinary in bravery and bravery. With such a divine general leading him, there was nothing to be afraid of.
In this way, the weapons of both sides fell into the control of the other side, and the two actually stood in a stalemate on their horses, competing for strength.
The more Taishi Ci and Sun Ce competed, the more they were surprised by each other's strength.
At this time, Sun Ce completely lost the anger and contempt he had when he was shot by an arrow. He was completely conquered by Taishi Ci's martial arts and strength, and he had the idea of admiration.
At this time, Taishi Ci no longer regarded Sun Ce as a child with a yellow mouth. This boy's strength was almost catching up with his own. If he was careless, he would be defeated. How could he dare to despise him?
Inadvertently, the two of them have changed their perceptions of each other and developed a sense of sympathy for each other.
"Young man surnamed Sun, do you dare to let go?"
"Old Taishi, if you dare, I will let you go once, and you can let go first."
< br>The two of them not only fought with each other with their hands, but also with their mouths.
Both Taishi Ci and Sun Ce's faces turned red, but they still had nothing to do against each other.
The mounts under the two people's crotches kept tapping their hooves on the spot, obviously unable to bear the strength of their masters.
Suddenly, their mounts rolled over and fell at the same time, causing a sudden panic around them.
“Don’t move!”
“No one is allowed to come up!”
Taishi Ci and Sun Ce shouted loudly at the same time, and stood up at the same time. They even clamped down on each other's weapons and refused to let go.
After yelling, the two of them actually threw away their weapons at the same time, pulled out the short blades from their waists, and rushed towards each other.
The two of them had the same idea, and at the same time they wanted to fight hand-to-hand and hold each other hostage.
Whenever a person loses his spear late, he will immediately be at a disadvantage.
The short blades of both sides met each other several times, but they could never break through the opponent's defense.
At this time, both Sun Ce's army and Xuzhou's army were stunned and dazzled, feeling that this battle was like a god coming down to earth.
The two sides were going back and forth, and the battle was going on with high intensity.
Taishici and Sun Ce were obviously wearing iron armor, but they were dodging, parrying and blocking like normal people. Their movements were quick and precise, and they were so strong and hard that they made everyone around them feel like they were in a dream.
How can you believe it if you haven’t seen it with your own eyes?
However, Taishi Ci and Sun Ce also knew that their strength was declining rapidly.
Both sides also noticed that the other party's movements began to slow down, defending more and attacking less. They were both conserving energy and wanting to strike later.
What a cunning boy. What a treacherous old man.
Both parties guessed from the other's eyes that the other must be slandering themselves, but they had no energy to argue with the other.
This fierce battle lasted for half an hour.
Both Taishi Ci and Sun Ce were already sweating profusely and panting.
Just when the two were about to show off their strength and show off their strength, a shout came from afar.
"Bo Fu!"
At this moment, an old man came galloping from a distance, shouting Sun Ce's name with concern in his voice.
At the same time, a large number of horse hooves sounded from the east city gate, and a group of carriages galloped in. On the first carriage, there was a strong man wearing black armor, holding the shaft of the carriage.
As soon as the carriage stopped, he jumped out of the carriage.
The heavy weight caused the ground to shake with dust.
But this big man didn't care and shouted to the people at the door: "Where is Taishi Ziyi? Where is Liu Ziyang?"
Such an arrogant person is the current Xuzhou Governor Liu Envoy Pan Zhang and Pan Wengui were close confidants of Jun's eldest son Liu Feng.
It was not impossible to give up the position of vanguard to Taishi Ziyi. After all, the other party was a captain and commanded the cavalry.
But his own Rushan camp is the real elite, the one that determines the outcome.
Now that I have arrived, of course I have to take over the main battlefield.
"Wen Gui stays here."
Liu Ye was very busy. While organizing his soldiers to build a defense line, he also paid attention to the battle situation of Taishi Ci in front.
Hearing Pan Zhang's cry, he quickly turned around the city gate.
"You came just in time, so you can quickly lead the people to retake the county."
After seeing Liu Ye himself, Pan Zhang was a little polite, patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Mr. Ziyang, this time It's easy! You can treat it with peace of mind."
Anyway, the other party is a scribe who is highly regarded by Liu Bei and his son, and he is very resourceful. If he offends such a person, he may set a trap for himself. But it’s a huge loss.
Liu Ye was overjoyed, and then asked: "Wen Gui, when will we arrive later?"
Pan Zhang naturally answered truthfully: "I have a carriage to send you, so the one who comes is regarded as It’s fast. However, all the subsequent ministries can only come on the road. There are only a few dozen vehicles in total, all of which are transported by large ships. They are originally used to transport baggage.”
"After the young master heard that you had captured Guangling, he ordered Lieutenant Taishi to lead the cavalry as the first formation, and I led the Rushan camp as the second formation in carriages. The third formation after that should be Colonel Zilong's. It’s time to start.”
Liu Ye nodded and said to Pan Zhang, “This man is Li Nong, and he is the son of the Li family. Let him lead the way.”
After finishing speaking. , and told Li Nong: "Li Nong, take Pan Sima to take a side road to attack the county government."
Li Nong naturally agreed, but Pan Zhang asked garrulously: "Why do you need to take a detour? Mr. Ziyang looks down on people based on their position. I will only take the high road. Mr. Ziyang just sit back and watch me defeat the enemy."
Liu Ye shook his head: "I have no intention of looking down on Sima. , but Taishi Duwei was fighting with the opponent's general at the main road, so he asked Sima to make a surprise attack in order to break the deadlock in one fell swoop."
Pan Zhang suddenly realized and wanted to step forward, but gave up in the end.
No matter what, Taishi Ci is the real pioneer, and Liu Ye also arranged tasks for himself.
If you don’t listen, then you are disobeying military orders.
During the conversation between Pan Zhang and Liu Ye, the soldiers of Rushan Camp had already got off the carriage, drank some water, and finished donning their armor, showing their elite nature.
Pan Zhang couldn't bear his temper. When he saw the city wall outside the city, he had already started to put on armor, so he got off the car wearing full armor.
"Young men, follow me!"
Pan Zhang took out his long and short weapons from the carriage, hung the short one around his waist, held a long knife, shouted at the soldiers behind him, turned around and followed Li Nong Go forward.
The armored soldiers formed four teams and followed slowly. They moved one by one, like a mountain moving, causing dust to fly high.
The Li brothers were trembling as they watched. How had they ever seen such a scene before?
The two people could not help but shout in a low voice: "The mountain, the mountain is moving."
The veteran who came was none other than Huang Gai. When he rushed forward, he was blocked by Song Qian: "Bo Fu won't let us get close, and if he comes forward now and triggers a melee, it may not be beneficial to Bo Fu."
Huang Gai originally wanted to scold Song Qian for stopping him, but after hearing what the other party said, his anger dissipated.
It is indeed as the other party said, if he is allowed to rush into the field at this time, regardless of the victory or defeat, Sun Cejun's reputation will be bad.
"What should we do? The two wings are ready. Let's wait for Bo Fu to give the order to besiege the east gate."
Huang Gai was a little anxious. He and Cheng Pu were responsible for the two wings respectively, and it was too late. There was no signal for a general attack in the middle, so he came to the middle to have a look in person.
Unexpectedly, Sun Ce and Taishi Ci fought fiercely, and the entire war came to a standstill.
"It doesn't matter, you two wings can take action, I'm here to watch, you can rest assured."
Song Qian shook his head, and then called for another rider to go to Cheng Puna Give him the order so that he can let go and attack.
Huang Gai looked at the field again. Sun Ce and Taishi Ci's offense and defense had slowed down, but their level had not dropped at all. The swords were deadly. If they made a mistake, they might be defeated by the opponent.
“Okay, then I’ll leave it to Jing Xun to get here and Bo Fu.”
Song Qian, whose courtesy name was Jingxun, had followed Sun Ce very early and became a close general. At this time, he could replace Sun Ce in making the decision in the middle.
So Huang Gai turned around and left, returning to his own front.
But when he was halfway with his soldiers, he was surprised and bumped into the soldiers who came to see him.
Seeing the other party sweating profusely and looking panicked gave Huang Gai a very bad premonition.
“What happened.”
Hearing Huang Gai's voice, the soldier was overjoyed: "Colonel Huang, please return to the formation quickly. A group of armored soldiers are coming from the opposite side. They are extremely brave and charge into the formation. No one can stop us. Our formation is about to be unable to hold up." ”
“What?”
Huang Gai just felt like he was talking in his sleep.
Just now, were they waiting for the order to attack? They just went to the middle, and their subordinates were about to collapse?
“Nonsense!”
Huang Gai couldn't help but scolded loudly, clamped his horse's belly, and galloped towards his position.
After turning two corners, I saw a group of big men in black armor wielding knives to kill in the front position.
The soldiers of the Li family tribe and the Xuzhou faction of Guangling County, who had been beaten to pieces by the Sun family army, also had high morale and followed the black-armored iron warriors to attack all the way.
"This, this is an iron warrior?"
Huang Gai gasped.
There were hundreds of big men in iron armor in front of them, arranged in several rows, marching in formation, like a gable, pressing towards them.
Sun Ce's soldiers, who only wore leather armor and held wooden shields, were obviously unable to resist the opponent and retreated step by step after being suppressed.
The troops who followed Sun Ce to Guangling this time totaled more than 4,000 people. Including the county soldiers from Guangling, there were more than 6,000 people in total. I originally thought they were sure of success, but now I feel something is wrong.
Of the four thousand people in Sun Ce's army, they were arranged to go to several key points such as the county government, the treasury, and the granary. Each accounted for 200 people. Plus dozens of wounded, this was a shortage of nearly 700 people.
Sun Ce took away a thousand and three men from the middle road, and a thousand men from each side of the flanks. In addition, more than 3,000 powerful county soldiers and vassal troops were also divided equally among the three roads.
It is said that Huang Gai had a total of 2,000 people on his side, and only a thousand on the other side, two against one, and his side was the winner in terms of quality. No matter what, it shouldn't have been like this.
Although the anger surged in his heart, Huang Gai still forced himself to calm down and observed the battlefield situation.
The entire front is not long, only twenty steps in total.
It is precisely because of this that the opponent's armored soldiers have a geographical advantage.
Just a row of thirty people can completely fill the front line.
Sun Cejun, on his side, wanted to use long-range firepower to focus fire on the armored soldiers, but found that it was useless if he was far away, and the shot could not penetrate the armor. When he was closer, the opponent's shooters would strike first.
Sun Jian has always been Sun Ce's hero, Yuan Shu's favorite, and his equipment is naturally very sophisticated.
It is equipped with full-body leather armor and a strong bow, but as long as it is not iron armor, it cannot shoot against the opposite iron armor.
Huang Gai's troops were okay. Although they were forced to retreat, they still had high morale. However, the powerful tribes and soldiers from Guangling County who were assigned to them have shown obvious wavering.
Huang Gai immediately made a decision and immediately gathered his armored officers and provided them with warriors with strong bows and crossbows to cover them. At the same time, he personally led the cavalry to prepare for a countercharge.
The attached Haoqiang troops and Guangling County soldiers were pushed aside, while the Sun Army retreated skillfully and at the same time made way for the passage.
Twenty of Huang Gai's horsemen launched a swift and fierce counterattack towards Pan Zhang's Rushan camp in a wall-mounted manner.
