Chapter 7 The Tiger of Jiangdong

"Heavy infantry come forward! Stand up your shield!"

"Boom!" The huge shield slammed into the ground, forming a thick barrier.

"Little shield, pay attention to the bow and arrow!"

"The spearmen are in position!"

"The crossbowman checks the arrows!"

"Ten steps forward to the left!"

Order after order was issued from the Chinese army, and the cavalry were shuttled back and forth. The swords and guns were flashing with cold light, and the war horses were neighing. Sun Jian's army slowly adjusted its formation in an orderly manner, like a ferocious beast staring closely at its prey.

Tiger of Jiangdong? Humph, bluff.

Hua Xiong looked at the stern battle formation in front of him and said coldly.

"Hua Xiong is here, Sun Jian come up quickly and die!"

When Sun Jian heard this, he galloped to the front of the battle formation and said with a smile: "You are a common man who helps the tyrants to do evil, but you dare to talk nonsense in front of the battle formation. If you dismount your horse and surrender now, I, Sun Jian, will spare your life!"

"Looking for death!" Hua Xiong shouted with a gloomy face. He rushed over on horseback, raised his long knife, and took advantage of the situation to strike Sun Jian's right shoulder.

Sun Jian rushed forward without fear. When the two were about ten steps apart, Sun Jian fiercely pulled out the ancient ingot knife hanging on the left side. The ancient ingot knife seemed to turn into a flash of light and slashed at Hua Xiong's neck.

The two horses crossed each other, and they saw Sun Jian split Hua Xiong's long knife. Pulling the reins, the horse turned sharply, and Sun Jian swung the ancient ingot knife in his hand to chop Hua Xiong's back.

There was a sound of "Qiang", but it was Hua Xiong who blocked Sun Jian's blade by blocking his long sword back. Then Hua Xiong turned his horse's head and killed Sun Jian again.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Dong dong dong!"

The two armies beat the drums in unison to boost the momentum.

In the blink of an eye, Sun Jian and Hua Xiong fought for more than thirty rounds.

"General, let me help you!"

A horseman ran out of the army formation on the opposite side. It turned out that Hu Zhen, the deputy general, saw that Hua Xiong could not attack for a long time and was on a par with Sun Jian. He was afraid that the general would make a mistake, so he came to help.

"You're so brave, thief! I'll meet you!"

You Hua Xiong has people under your command, and I, Sun Jianjun, am not a vegetarian either. Cheng Pu didn't even think about it, he galloped forward and pierced Hu Zhen's heart with a spear.

Hu Zhen originally wanted to help Hua Xiong capture Sun Jian, but did not want to get burned. After fighting with Cheng Pu for ten rounds, he was stabbed in the throat by Cheng Pu and fell off his horse to death.

"We must win! We must win!" Sun Jian's soldiers saw that Cheng Pu had neatly killed the enemy thief, and they immediately waved their flags and shouted.

Incompetent bungler.

Hua Xiong was fighting hard, and when he heard Sun Jianjun's roar, he knew that Hu Zhen was either captured or dead, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

He forced Sun Jian away with one blow, and saw Cheng Puti's gun flying towards him from the corner of his eye.

A Sun Jian almost killed me, why come?

Hua Xiong suddenly felt like he was dead. He didn't remember the heroic words he had promised Dong Zhuo, so he hurriedly fled.

Sun Jian was about to give chase when he saw that a cavalry group of Dong Zhuo's army had already begun to charge. Knowing that it was not motivated by emotion, he turned around and returned to his own formation.

"Whoosh"

The crossbowmen of both armies took the lead in launching their attack.

Because the front army mainly used shield troops, with large shields and small shields for defense, Sun Jian's army suffered very few casualties and maintained its formation and advanced slowly. However, the charging cavalry of Dong Zhuo's army fell off their horses for a while, and several small gaps appeared in the formation.

"Li Su, thank you very much this time." Hua Xiong gasped and said with cupped hands.

"We are both serving the Prime Minister, why should General Hua Xiong be so polite?" Li Su chuckled, "Our morale is slightly lower, but our army has twice the number of Sun Jian. Later, as long as the general leads another cavalry to penetrate the enemy

Army, we will win this battle!"

Hua Xiong said happily: "You'll see what happens to me later. The Xiliang cavalry under my command, except for Ma Teng's Feiyu cavalry, have never met an opponent. How can Jiangdong's weak horses stop me? I'll capture them alive."

Sun Jian will carefully calculate the account just now."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Although the cavalry is used as the front army, its defensive power is lower, so the losses in the early stage are much greater. But there is no way to kill people in a battle? And the speed of the cavalry is not just boasted.

Seeing that his cavalry had rushed in front of Sun Jianjun, Hua Xiong had a bloodthirsty smile on his lips, as if he had seen Sun Jianjun fall into pieces under the impact of the cavalry, and collapsed thousands of miles away.

"The archers' short range shooting is changed to intensive long range shooting."

The arrow rain moved forward from the intersection of the two armies. The rushing cavalry created a small vacuum zone due to the denser arrow rain, and a gap appeared in the front army.

"Heavy infantry strengthen shields! Throw spears! Pikemen come forward!"

Sun Jian couldn't tell what Hua Xiong was thinking. He smiled coldly and issued a series of orders.

Ji Shu was dazzled by what he saw on the sidelines, feeling the breathtaking momentum for the first time on a real battlefield.

Life is fleeting.

No one knows whether he will be the one who dies next moment? Human life is just like a wave.

Ji Shu's mind went blank, leaving only inexplicable shock.

Dong Zhuo's army came like a tide, but Sun Jian's military formation made Ji Shu feel as stable as Mount Tai.

In fact, this is exactly the case. Dong Zhuojun's front army did not shake Sun Jian's front army except leaving a bloody flower.

However, as the follow-up troops charged, the two armies finally started fighting, and Sun Jian's army's casualties began to rise sharply.

"Father, Hua Xiong has started to charge with about three to four thousand elite cavalry. He wants to drill through us!" A young voice suddenly said.

"Oh? Then what do you think we should do?"

"Eat him!" the young man said firmly.

Ji Shuxun heard that the boy was about 2 years older than Ji Shu. He was wearing a white helmet and silver armor, holding a spear, and wearing a red cloak. At first glance, he looked handsome and resolute. Upon closer inspection, his appearance was very similar to that of Sun Jian. Ji Shu looked very similar to Sun Jian.

It is speculated that this is Sun Ce, the eldest son of Sun Jian.

"Bo Fu, tell me how to eat him?" Sun Jian showed no emotion or anger as he stared at the battlefield.

Sun Ce chuckled and said: "Father, I saw your left wing coming forward when you formed the formation, so I knew your idea. Why do you need to test me? Ce'er, please lead the Tiger Roar Battalion to attack."

In fact, before the war started, Sun Jian saw that Hua Xiong's army had nearly half of the cavalry, and knew that Hua Xiong planned to defeat him quickly and intimidate the princes. I have to say that this was indeed a good idea. Once Sun Jian was defeated in one battle,

Even if the army is wiped out, the princes will immediately stop moving forward. After all, the princes each have their own thoughts, and no one wants to kill all his men first.

It is said that Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry, Ma Teng's Feiyu cavalry and Ding Yuan's Bingzhou cavalry are the best cavalry in the world, but am I, Sun Jian, so easy to chew bones? I'm not afraid of breaking your teeth!

"Slick boy," Sun Jian said cheerfully, "Okay! Since you already know your father's plan, I leave it to you. Don't let Hua Xiong go!"

"Take your orders!" Sun Ce said excitedly, clasping his fists.

Perhaps it was Ji Shu who stared for a long time, which caught Sun Ce's attention. He looked back at Ji Shu, smiled slightly, then mounted his horse and left.

No matter how thick the shield wall is, it can't stop the elite Xiliang cavalry! Hua Xiong excitedly waved his long sword.

"Impact!"

At this time, Hua Xiong was like an arrow, leading Xiliang elites to tear a hole in the middle, and the hole was getting bigger and bigger. Hua Xiong was charging with high spirits, directly attacking Sun Jian's central army, but he did not notice the attack of Sun Jian's army behind him.

A cavalry force also shot out from the left wing.

Just because Hua Xiong didn't see it, it doesn't mean that Li Su couldn't see it.

Only Sun Jian's infantry on the left wing began to charge fiercely, and then a cavalry force of 5,000 people rushed out and charged towards the left wing of Dong Zhuo's army. It was like a giant pair of scissors, trying to cut off the entire battlefield.

Li Su was a little numb. Once he let this cavalry charge over and join Sun Jian's army on the right, there was no doubt that Hua Xiong, who had torn his mouth open, would instead plunge into someone else's pocket and become a lone army - being

The lone army surrounded.

Li Su anxiously ordered his rear troops to enter the battlefield to block Sun Jian's cavalry, while hoping that Hua Xiong would discover the problem early.

In fact, Hua Xiong had already discovered that there was a problem. He felt that the impact of his army was getting weaker and weaker, as if he had entered a quagmire.

No one knows better than him what it means to be a cavalryman who has lost his mobility.

Stopping his horse, Hua Xiong began to observe the battlefield. He was surprised to find that Sun Jianjun was actually countercharging!

Someone used cavalry to attack his rear army from the left wing, but the subsequent cavalry could not rush over, which caused the impact of his cavalry to become smaller and smaller. Once Sun Jian's army was allowed to penetrate his rear army, he would soon become

A turtle in a urn.

This scare was so heartbreaking that Hua Xiong hurriedly led his men to turn around and rush back.

"It seems that Dong Zhuo's army also has many capable men!" Sun Jian sighed, "The enemy army is twice as many as ours, otherwise even if he joins the rear army now, he will be unable to save the day. Beat the drums, the army attacks!

"

······

"Report! Great victory! Great victory!" A soldier quickly ran into the commander's tent.

"Sun Jian just arrived at Hulao Pass and achieved a great victory?" Yuan Shu asked in surprise, "Tell me quickly."

"Dong Zhuo appointed Hua Xiong as general. Three days ago, Hua Xiong led 50,000 soldiers and horses out of the border to fight with General Sun Jian. Sun Jian's troops killed 15,000 enemies, injuring 4,000 themselves, and beheaded Hua Xiong's deputy general Hu Zhen.

Now Hua Xiong is staying in seclusion and dare not go out to fight."

Yuan Shu remained silent.

The subordinate officer looked at Yuan Shu's face and said in an ear: "Sun Jian is a fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. If he breaks through Luoyang and kills Dong Zhuo, he will get rid of the wolf and get the tiger. If the lord, the governor of the army, does not allocate food to him, Sun Jian's army will definitely be defeated."

"Is this the Tiger of Kodong?"
