Chapter 40: Breaking the White Tiger in World War I(1/2)

"kill!"

On the vast battlefield, the two armies collided fiercely.

Yan Baihu looked from afar.

Sun Ce formed a square formation with 10,000 infantry, and as the main frontal force, he fought with his own 10,000 infantry.

However, Sun Cejun soon revealed his decline.

"He is a new recruit after all, so there is really nothing to worry about." Yan Baihu grinned and said contemptuously.

He began to observe the two wings and saw that Sun Ce had separated four cavalry groups and took turns charging at the flanks of his own army.

Every impact of the cavalry is to harvest the enemy at the edge. They will turn around and leave after only a slight contact, never going deep.

This kind of tactics allowed the cavalry to cause extremely limited damage, but it maintained high-speed movement.

They came softly and walked softly, like the god of death on the battlefield, bit by bit, they burned fear into the hearts of the officers and soldiers of Yan Baihu Army.

It was precisely because of this sickle that seemed to be hanging over the head of Yan Baihu's army that Sun Ce's infantry phalanx gradually stabilized its position, otherwise it would have been retreating steadily by now.

"Brother, let me lead the cavalry to attack. As long as the cavalry on either side is wiped out, Sun Cejun will be vulnerable." Yan Baihu's younger brother Yan Xing took the initiative to step forward to ask for help. The unbearable condition of Sun Cejun's infantry made him completely unwilling to attack Sun Cejun.

Put it in your eyes.

Yan Baihu rolled his eyes at Yan Xing. If Sun Ce had been so easy to deal with, Liu Yao wouldn't have lost so miserably, and he wouldn't have had to seek an alliance with Wang Lang.

Looking at Sun Ce's cavalry on both wings, there were about 8,000 to 10,000 people. He was a little unsure of how many troops and horses Sun Ce had dispatched, and how many ambushes he had secretly set up. He did not want to follow Liu Yao's footsteps.

"Have the scouts not noticed any ambush around yet?" Yan Baihu frowned tightly.

"The scout reported that everything is normal, and no ambush was found by Sun Ce." Yan Xing let out a long breath and said in a rough voice, "Brother, are you overthinking? Sun Ce may not have an ambush at all."

Yan Baihu stared at the battle ahead and said harshly.

"Impossible! Sun Ce's son relied on conspiracy and trickery to defeat Liu Yao along the way."

"Now he only has a patchwork army. You have seen it. What combat effectiveness can such an army have?"

"If it weren't for his two wings of cavalry to contain him, we might have overwhelmed his front army by now."

"Let the scouts continue to investigate. Our main force cannot move until the ambush is discovered."

Yan Xing reluctantly accepted the order.

However, it had been half an hour since the battle started, and Sun Ce's ambush was still not found, and Yan Baihu's face gradually turned pale.

Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Taishi Ci, and Xu Sheng. Before this battle, except for Taishi Ci, no one else had heard of them.

Just now I heard reports from my subordinates that Gan Ning was a water thief, and Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng were just two ordinary people who had only been in the army for half a year.

However, just these few people had already killed more than a dozen of their generals in just half an hour after the war started, causing a lot of chaos on both wings.

Yan Baihu felt that his heart was bleeding.

He seemed to see four sharp knives slowly cutting his flesh one by one.

"This can't go on like this!" Yan Xing's face turned dark, and he clasped his fists and said, "Brother, let me lead 5,000 cavalry to annihilate them one by one."

Why doesn’t Yan Baihu know this?

Yan Baihu's army has changed from an advantage to a disadvantage.

The chaos on both wings made Yan Baihu Army's infantry unable to resist. At this time, Sun Ce pressed all the central army forward. As a result, Yan Baihu Army's infantry phalanx began to show signs of retreat.

Should we retreat first and wait for Wang Lang to arrive before making further plans?

Yan Baihu was hesitant. Retreating from the first battle would naturally be a loss of face and would be detrimental to morale.

But if the fight continues like this, Sun Ce may not be able to defeat him. Once there is a retreat, it is not a matter of face, but life and death.

Wait, Yan Baihu suddenly realized something deep down in his heart that he was unwilling to admit. Although Sun Ce couldn't defeat him and Wang Lang together, what about a decisive battle with him alone?

Could it be that since he has more troops than me now, he doesn't bother to use tricks?

A mouthful of blood welled up in his chest.

Shuzi!

How dare you look down on me, Yan Baihu, like this!

Thinking of this, Yan Baihu was so angry that he forgot all about preserving his strength.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashed fiercely, and said to Yan Xing: "Fight, cooperate with the troops on both wings, and severely defeat Sun Ce's cavalry."

Yan Xing saw that his brother finally listened to his opinion, raised his gun and mounted his horse, and said excitedly: "Brother, watch me cut off the heads of Gan Ning and others to see you."

After saying that, Yan Xing gave an order and rolled forward with 5,000 cavalry behind him.

······

"My lord will order the cavalry on the left wing to join forces and defeat the enemy cavalry."

Watching Zhou Tai's men and horses slowly close up, further away, a cavalry rushed from the enemy formation. Gan Ning licked his dry lips and shouted: "His uncle's wait is here! Brothers, follow me.

Destroy the enemy!"

Although the soldiers fought for an hour, they still responded to Gan Ning in high spirits.

"Must win!"

"Must win!"

Gan Ning launched the charge first without waiting for Zhou Tai's 2,000 cavalry to join up.

The horses were neighing and galloping, and the belief in victory never wavered.

The enemy has 5,000 cavalry, but he only has 3,000.

But Gan Ning did not feel that he had underestimated his opponent. Sun Ce's cavalry was different from the 6,000 new soldiers in the infantry phalanx. They were all veterans who had gone through wars.

What's more, what he is commanding at this moment is the most elite cavalry of Sun Ce's army - the Tiger Roar Camp.

If Huxiao Camp was not directly under Sun Ce and only appointed a temporary commander before the war, Gan Ning really wanted to take him under his command. He was convinced that Huxiao Camp was undoubtedly stronger than his Jinfan Army.

The bravest soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were selected to form the army. After each battle, they were given priority to receive additional troops. Equipped with the best war horses and the most sophisticated armor and stomach weapons, the soldiers of the Tiger Roar Camp lived up to Sun Ce's expectations. They were brave and fearless and regarded death as home.

He is indeed the ace of Jiangdong! Compared to a scholar like Ji Shu, Gan Ning felt it more strongly. Leading this army to fight, Gan Ning even felt excited.

Therefore, Gan Ning was very sure that there might be many enemies in Huxiao camp, but today, here, Yan Baihu's cavalry was not worthy at all.

Looking at the oncoming enemy troops, Gan Ning smiled coldly.

These cavalrymen galloping and dancing on the battlefield are Sun Ce's real trump card. They have been waiting.

The infantry waiting for Yan Baihu gradually lost the strength to escape.

Waiting for Yan Baihu's cavalry to pounce on their mouths.

It’s just a predetermined prey, what’s there to worry about?

Zhou Tai? Let him follow behind and pick up a few fish that slipped through the net.

"kill!"

As Gan Ning expected, he was killed as soon as he came into contact with the enemy.

Worse than imagined.

Looking at the chaotic enemy army, Gan Ning smiled contemptuously. If there were only such cavalry, I could kill even 10,000 people.

At this time, Gan Ning saw an enemy general rushing forward from the corner of his eye, slashing and killing many of his own soldiers, which was quite a martial act.

"Little thief! Uncle Gan is here to meet you!"

Just like he had killed several generals before, Gan Ning raised his sword and cut off the enemy general's head without much effort.

"General Yan is dead?"

"General Yan Xing is dead!"

"The lord's brother was killed by Gan Ning!"

The enemy troops quickly broke into chaos. Then, under the impact of the Tiger Roar Camp, the chaos quickly turned into a rout.

Gan Ning was stunned. His emotions even killed a big shot!

He secretly smacked his tongue, too bad!

I can't get enough energy at all.

"General Gan, the lord general ordered us to work with Zhou Tai to penetrate the enemy's infantry phalanx and leave behind Yan Baihu's former military headquarters." Not long after the pursuit, Xu Tu caught up with Gan Ning on horseback.

Conveyed Sun Ce's general order.

Gan Ning was stunned, pondered for a while, and said: "No wonder the lord asked us to force out Yan Baihu's cavalry first. It turned out to be this idea. So Tai Shici and Xu Sheng went straight to Yan Baihu."

Xu Tu nodded and said, "My lord ordered them to capture Yan Baihu alive."

Gan Ning snorted and said dissatisfied: "I have been busy for a long time, but the biggest credit is left to them."

After getting along for a long time, Xu Tu also knew that what Gan Ning said was written all over his face, and he liked to show off his temper, but in fact he didn't really mind in his heart.

Xu Tu smiled and comforted: "My lord didn't know which way Yan Baihu's cavalry would attack first. If they were looking for Tai Shici and the others, the capture of Yan Baihu would definitely be left to us. We will capture it this time
To be continued...
