I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 246 The Wu army without Emperor Sun is the elite army!

Despite Zhu Yi's young age, this guy's record in history is solid.

When the Wu army attacked Fancheng, he proposed a plan to break through the outer city of Fancheng. Later, he fought Wenqin again on the eastern front, conquering Wenqin's seven fortresses, and later defeated Zhuge Dan.

Because of the story part, the middle and later stages progressed very quickly.

In fact, a rising star like Zhu Yi is not only powerful in charging into battle, but also extremely courageous and strategic.

For ordinary people, let alone taking 10,000 people to fight, I am afraid that taking 1,000 people to go on an outing will quickly lead to chaos.

When the Wu army was afraid of the Wei army, he was able to decisively lead the Wu army to retreat to the high ground, which demonstrated his ability to lead troops.

After entering the high ground, the Wu army immediately formed a strict formation, with infantry at the front, archers at the back, and elite troops on both wings.

He personally fought for the Wu soldiers in front.

Soon, Wang Jinhu's thousand cavalry seemed to arrive at the bottom of the slope.

Not only did it not slow down, it actually improved.

The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded like thunder, and a thousand iron cavalrymen holding long spears galloped up and charged towards the flank of the Wu army.

The momentum seemed to flatten the entire slope.

The faces of the Wu Army soldiers showed signs of panic, and some even couldn't help shouting.

"Fire the arrow!" Zhu Yi shouted loudly and waved the flag himself.

In panic, the Wu army fired arrows at the Wei army. Suddenly, arrows rained down on the Wei army's cavalry.

In an instant, three or four of the Wei army fell from their horses. The impact did not stop, and in the blink of an eye, they were only ten meters away from the Wu army.

Wu Jun's military formation was immediately distorted by the terrifying momentum, and the soldiers in front staggered around.

Zhu Yi was on the flank in person, and he remained motionless.

When the soldiers who were paralyzed by fear saw this, they hurriedly got up and stood still, holding a spear in their hand.

The Wei cavalry jumped up, and the first batch of cavalry charged over, and were immediately stabbed by the dense array of spears and turned their horses upside down.

After five or six cavalrymen fell to the ground, the cavalrymen behind saw that the Wu army's formation did not collapse, so they retreated in a roundabout way.

After this resistance, Wu Jun saw that Wei Jun's cavalry was not incompetent, and their morale immediately improved.

Wang Jinhu rested for a while, then charged again, but still couldn't break it, so he stopped attacking.

The two sides faced off on this slope.

Wang Jinhu's task was to pretend to be the main force and scare Sun Quan away. If Sun Quan did not retreat, he would wait for an opportunity to take action.

At this time, he was entangled here, and his main force could not escape quickly to Hefei City.

Fortunately, Wang Ling had a second card.

When Zhang Ying fought to the end, Yang Hong's three thousand cavalry rushed to the gate of Hefei like lightning.

When Zhu Yi got the information, his whole body went numb.

But immediately, the red-eyed Zhu Yi got on his horse and began to order people to form a defensive formation on the left, and then mobilized the center to make a deep change.

The top brass of the Wu army were generally afraid of the Wei cavalry.

At that time, Sun Quan led the Jiangdong all-star lineup and an army of 100,000 to attack Hefei, but was killed several times by Zhang Liao.

Completely ignoring the main force of the Wu army.

Sun Quan withdrew his troops, and his main force of 100,000 was defeated by Zhang Liao who came out of the city again.

Sun Quan himself was almost captured, but his famous generals escaped by diving into the water.

That battle directly threw Jiangdong into an endless shadow.

Wang Ling was also sure that the Wu army was afraid of the iron hoof of the Wei army. He wanted the Wu army to use surprise troops to determine the outcome in one fell swoop when their morale was low at the foot of Hefei City.

He wanted to recreate Sun Quan's embarrassing escape scene again, and he even planned to capture Sun Quan alive.

However, human calculations are not as good as God's calculations, and Wang Ling failed to calculate accurately. The battlefield is also changing rapidly.

For example, the biggest variable in this battle was that Sun Quan did not withdraw his troops when he learned that Wang Jinhu was coming, but instead withdrew himself first.

This is completely based on the lessons learned from the retreat during the second Battle of Hefei.

That was the time he was defeated by Zhang Liao.

What happened that time?

That time Sun Quan wanted to retreat, but the main force withdrew first, but the army command center was still under Hefei City.

What do you mean?

The army has withdrawn, but the emperor and all the senior generals have not yet withdrawn.

The brains of the army were thrown under the city of Hefei.

This magical operation confused Zhang Liao at the time.

Zhang Liao looked left and right: What are you looking at! Come on!

So there was that classic battle.

This time Sun Quan ran away first and ran to the boat first.

Just such a detail, Wu's most deceitful military commander temporarily left the army, so Wu Jun actually showed his own momentum!

After occupying the city, although the Wei army was still fighting to the death, the morale of the Wu army had been completely boosted.

The news that the military flag was planted at the top of Hefei City quickly spread throughout the army.

The army that stretched for ten miles suddenly realized that Hefei City was not indestructible!

When the news reached Sun Quan, Sun Quan said to a group of ministers, "Okay, okay! Although the city of Hefei is strong and the Wei army is powerful, no matter what, between one hundred thousand and ten thousand in the city, the advantage is mine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scout suddenly rushed to the shore and shouted: "Report! A few miles northwest, Wei cavalry has been found. The number of cavalry is at least two thousand! They are rapidly attacking our army!"

The smile on Sun Quan's face froze instantly, and he made a sound like a duck quacking in his throat.

"Gah...this is impossible!" His eyes were so wide that they almost bulged out.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a faint rumble from the shore ahead.

Yang Hong's three thousand cavalry were spread out on the plain outside Hefei City, like a rolling torrent, flowing with brilliant luster in the evening glow.

"Tight defense!" Zhu Yi rode a horse and galloped among the troops. "Don't be anxious, His Majesty the Emperor is with us!"

Sun Quan: Hurry! Set sail quickly!

The Wu army's victory over Hefei City greatly boosted their morale. Under Zhu Yi's command, officers at all levels quickly changed their formations.

A large formation that is several miles across is also several miles deep. The Wu army's war drums were like thunder, and they rose from the ground.

The shouts were like ocean waves, rising and falling outside the city of Hefei, as if they were about to disperse the clouds in the sky.

Yang Hong's three thousand cavalry were still flowing slowly at first, but when they approached a few hundred meters, they began to accelerate.

The war horses galloped wildly in an instant, and dense iron hooves crushed down from the ground. The whole city of Hefei seemed to be trembling.

Just as the Wei army's cavalry was charging wildly, the Wu army's formation made an obvious buzz.

A black cloud rose from the military formation and pressed towards the Wei cavalry.

It was like a rainstorm of arrows, instantly impacting the torrent of Wei army's cavalry.

The sharp arrows hit the armor, making numerous "ding-ding-ding" sounds.

The war horse was hit by an arrow and collapsed, sliding on the ground.

"Long live Wei! Kill!"

"Long live Wei! Kill! Kill..."

The sound of the charge shook the heaven and the earth, and the momentum seemed to split mountains and seas.

When they met, the Wei army's cavalry attacked the Wu army's formation. A group of cavalry flew down from their horses, and their horses also fell to the ground.

The huge impact directly opened up Wu Jun's front defense.

The cavalry from behind arrived in a torrent, quickly expanding their results and tearing a large bloody hole in the Wu army's formation.

Countless Wu troops were trampled into pulp.

If it were Zhuge Liang's Han army here, the Wei cavalry could only charge to a bloody pulp and then take a roundabout route to find an opportunity.

At this time, the Wei army actually penetrated the three layers of Wu army's defense in one breath.

but!

Under this impact, the Wei army's cavalry also collapsed one after another.

The Wu army's spears and halberds are as dense as a forest. Even though the army's coordination is much worse than that of the Han army, after all, the military formation is here and the morale is here.

By the time they penetrated the third level, the momentum of the Wei army's cavalry had obviously weakened.

Hundreds of cavalrymen behind them had been killed in the battle, and there were also many who were carrying them.

Yang Hong is not Zhang Liao.

There is an insurmountable gap between ordinary generals and famous generals.

Otherwise, how could there be a saying that "three armies are easy to obtain, but one general is difficult to find"?

If Zhang Wenyuan were still there, if Wu Jun came to the tenth floor today, he would be able to penetrate it.

After the third level, Yang Hong's own war horse had been injured, including himself, and his movements had obviously slowed down.

Yang Hong gritted his teeth and led the Wei army to start a circuitous route, sweeping a huge arc in the Wu army's long line, and finally managed to break out.

The Wu army was killed in the formation, leaving a ferocious blood mark, and their morale was also knocked down a bit, but it was not yet a collapse.

So how did the famous ancient Chinese generals lead the cavalry to fight against an infantry formation that was dozens of times larger than their own?

Cavalry cuts quickly!

For example, during the Battle of the Founding of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Aguda's confidant, commanded three thousand Jin cavalry to charge two hundred thousand Liao troops.

Cutting back and forth against the Liao army, penetrating the Liao army's formation nine times!

The 200,000 Liao army was defeated and collapsed.

Yang Hong is obviously still far away from becoming a famous general. Three thousand Wei troops failed to cut through 80,000 Wu troops.

It didn't even break down.

And Yang Hong's own cavalry has lost as many as 800 people.

At this time, Yang Hong didn't dare to fight because it was getting dark.

Yang Hong quickly evacuated the battlefield.

In fact, Wu Jun did not collapse in time, but it was not far away from collapse.

Many people have started crying and shouting to go back.

Even Zhu Yi felt that something was wrong. I was afraid that the army would be responsible for this today.

If the army is told to be here, and he escapes back, he will take the blame.

But when Zhu Yi learned the news that the Wei army's cavalry had retreated, he was a little confused. He repeatedly confirmed that the Wei army had really withdrawn from the battlefield, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Sun Quan had already ordered people to sail, but when he learned about the retreat of the Wei army, Sun Quan immediately said: "Who asked you to sail! Our army defeated the bandit army, and I will take control of Hefei tomorrow!"

Unable to defeat the Wu army in one fell swoop, Yang Hong sent someone to deliver a message to Wang Ling before dark.

Early in the morning on March 15th, Wang Ling, who had led Shouchun's main army southward, received a letter from Yang Hong.

At the same time, he also received a letter from Wang Jinhu.

He was shocked.

Can't defeat both sides?

What a hell!

Didn't Sun Quan get so scared and flee when he heard the reinforcements were coming?

Wang Ling broke into a cold sweat, but fortunately he made third-hand preparations, gathering an army of 30,000 in Shouchun and heading south.

According to this situation, if Sun Quan really establishes a foothold in Hefei, then he, Wang Ling, may not be able to escape the blame.

It's strange, why is Sun Quan so brave this time?

Also on March 15th, Li Heng, who was far away in Chongqing, received news: Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin had sent troops north to attack Xiangyang and Jiangxia.

He smiled happily.

"Pass my military order, Zong Yu takes the vanguard and breaks Xiling!"

"Here!"

Li Heng stood up and said to everyone present: "Assemble the three armies, follow me to Jiangling and take Jingzhou!"
