Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 51 51. Defeat
Tan Xiong was extremely nervous, while Feng Xi on the opposite side was very casual, holding the spear in one hand, as if he was out for a picnic.

"You like to shoot arrows from the dark, are you a famous archer in Jiangdong?"

When Feng Xi saw the other side coming out, he continued to talk trash and suppress the other side's morale.

"Don't go too far, evil general! I am not changing my name, I am a subordinate of General Sun, Tan Xiong!"

Tan Xiong's shout restored some of the morale of Wu Jun.

"Why are you yelling so loudly? Are you afraid that they won't know who you are when they collect your body?"

Feng Xi continued to mock, and this contemptuous attitude immediately angered Tan Xiong. He squeezed the horse's belly to make it go faster, and taking advantage of the horse's momentum, he rushed straight at Feng Xi's head with his sword.

Seeing Tan Xiong rushing towards him with a knife in his hand like a wild bull, Feng Xi seemed to be frightened silly. He only slowly picked up the gun when Tan Xiong got close to him.

Tan Xiong was overjoyed. Although the enemy general was shouting happily, it seemed that his kung fu was just average. Not only could he not save his life, he might even be able to get the credit of killing the general.

"Dang! Whoosh~Crack"

Tan Xiong's sword came at him with a mighty force like a mountain falling down on his head. Feng Xi was not in a hurry, but just blocked it lightly. Tan Xiong felt a huge recoil force on the sword in his hand, and then he could not control it and flew out directly. After spinning a few times in the air, the blade sank into the ground with a click.

"I……"

Tan Xiong stared blankly at his empty hands, speechless for a moment. He looked up at Feng Xi, who was smiling across from him, and just as he was about to say something, a flash of silver light flashed in the air, and the words Tan Xiong wanted to say were blocked in his throat by Feng Xi's bright silver gun, and disappeared into his chest along with his last breath.

"Kuagua...General Feng is so powerful!"

The Han army in the rear couldn't help but cheer loudly when they saw Feng Xi kill Tan Xiong in one move without even moving. When the Wu army on the opposite side saw this scene, their morale, which had been slightly rising, fell back instantly.

"Waste! Such a waste! He was killed in one round!"

Sun Huan couldn't help cursing Tan Xiong in his heart. He didn't have the ability to go on the field, so why shoot hidden arrows. It would be fine if you shot the enemy general and made achievements, but the two arrows were useless and only hurt the morale. He went on the field himself and was killed in one blow. Isn't this just to discourage his own side?
Xie Jing, who was fighting with Zhang Nan with all his might, saw clearly how Tan Xiong was stabbed to death in an instant. He was horrified. The martial arts of this last general were absolutely astounding. Even if he faced him, his fate would probably not be much better than Tan Xiong's.

But it would be bad if Xie Jing was distracted and was explaining things in his mind. Xie Jing had to go all out against Zhang Nan to ensure that he would not die. Now that he was distracted, it was clear that he did not take Zhang Nan seriously.

"Puff...Gu...Ugh...Bang"

Xie Jing stared blankly at the tip of the gun that pierced his heart, and the blood dyed the tassel of Zhang Nan's red tasseled spear even more red.

Xie Jing's hands fell weakly, and his spear also fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"puff!"

Zhang Nan didn't have time to deal with Xie Jing. He simply used both arms to lift Xie Jing into the air. He shook his red tasseled spear to wipe off the blood on the tip, and rode over to help Fu Rong.

Fu Rong and Li Yi were fighting fiercely with their double guns. One was as heavy as a thousand-year-old rock, and the other was as hard to find as a dragon emerging from water. For a while, neither side could do anything to the other.

When Fu Zhun saw Zhang Nan pointing his spear at Xie Jing, he couldn't help but cheer up and fight with Li Yi with all his strength. He didn't try to capture Li Yi, but just wanted to delay him here so that he and Zhang Nan could capture him later.

Li Yi could only complain bitterly. Originally, the opponent's double guns were elusive, and he had only the ability to defend himself. Now that Xie Jing was dead, how could he fight two people alone? In addition, there was a dark horse warrior who was obviously stronger than the two men in the distance, staring at him covetously.

"All troops, move forward! Save Li Yi!"

Seeing this, Sun Huan could only grit his teeth and order his troops to advance and disrupt the fight.

"Tsk, count yourself lucky. I will definitely kill you next time."

When Fu Zhun saw the enemy soldiers rushing up, he had no choice but to let Li Yi go and ride back to the formation.

"whoosh"

But an arrow rang out from the Han army, and Li Yi was shot in the arm. He could only throw himself on his horse and return to the battle array in pain. "This arrow is just the interest from before! Don't forget that you still owe me one arrow!"

Feng Xi hung the Shenbi crossbow back on his saddle. Although the Shenbi crossbow had a complex structure and was easily damaged on a complex battlefield, its advantages of rapid attack and strong penetration could make up for this shortcoming.

"kill!"

Feng Xi waved his spear, and the flag bearer behind him also waved his flag. Feng Xi's soldiers immediately advanced towards Sun Huan's army in square formations.

"What kind of battle formation is this! The Shu army is so elite!"

Where had Sun Huan ever seen Feng Xi's army, which had been carefully trained and had terrifying organizational capabilities in this era?

Each square formation of the Han army was composed of sword and shield soldiers in the front, followed by spear soldiers, interlaced like a fish scale formation, with crossbowmen and archers in the middle constantly shooting arrows.

More than a hundred Wu soldiers were shot dead by the terrifying rain of arrows, and countless others were injured.

"It's a pity that even after several months, only less than 500 arrows were made. If I could replace all of them with divine crossbows, this first round of arrow rain would be enough to kill at least a thousand people in Sun Huan's army."

Feng Xi shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful. Many soldiers were still shooting with ordinary long and short bows, which were not as fast or powerful as the divine arm crossbow, so the damage caused was not that great.

Braving two rounds of arrow rain, Sun Huan's army finally reached Feng Xi's army, but soon the Wu army soldiers were dumbfounded. In front of them were shields like mountains, swords reflecting light, and spears shining coldly. Wasn't it like courting death to charge into this formation so foolishly?
Although Sun Huan's army also had archers shooting arrows, the morale of Guan Yu's surrendered soldiers was extremely low, so they only shot two rounds symbolically, and it was unclear where they were shooting.

"I know that you are the Jingzhou army under your command! We are here to kill Wu Gou and avenge General Guan! If you are a brave man, take up your weapons and kill Wu Gou with me! If you are worried, put down your weapons and squat aside, we will not make it difficult for you; if you continue to fight with our army with weapons, you will be no different from Wu Gou, and you will die!"

In the middle of the battle, Feng Xi took out a large iron loudspeaker that he had specially asked someone to make for him. The sound was earth-shaking, drowning out the noise on the battlefield.

Feng Xi's words actually moved many soldiers. Some of them turned their guns around and rushed into the formation of their comrades together with the Han army; others simply threw their weapons aside and squatted there without moving.

"Asshole! Have you forgotten that your family is in Jingzhou? Wait! If you turn against us in battle, your entire family will be killed!"

Sun Huan was so angry that he didn't care about being elegant anymore and started to curse. However, many soldiers were really worried by Sun Huan's scolding and could only continue to fight against the Han army under the command of the Wu army.

However, at this moment, the morale of the Wu army was completely lost, and they had no advantage in numbers. Sun Huan had no choice but to lead a few hundred of his own guards to retreat back to the camp.

"Damn it, the Shu army is so despicable! Let each unit count their losses, and record all those who surrendered or defected on the battlefield! After returning to Jingzhou, their entire families will be exterminated!"

Sun Huan lost his temper in the camp, and Li Yi and other generals remained silent. After Sun Huan finished speaking, Li Yi asked:

"General Sun, how do we fight the enemy now?"

Sun Huan calmed down and thought for a moment. He knew that he was no longer able to fight the enemy. After the battle during the day, he only had less than 3,000 people left, and the enemy's losses were negligible. If he fought another round, he would just wait for death.

"The Shu army is powerful. The only solution now is to retreat. We should retreat to the Yichang area and join forces with General Han to fight against the Shu army."

Sun Huan looked at the generals and made a decision. To be fair, this decision was quite wise. In the timeline of the novel, Sun Huan retreated to Yiling City, relying on the strong city to attract part of the attention of the Han army, so that the Han army had no time to worry about Lu Xun, and finally helped Lu Xun set a fire to ignite the curtain call of the Battle of Yiling.

Coincidentally, in the novel, Wu Ban and Zhang Nan were in charge of the siege of Yiling City where Sun Huan was, and Feng Xi also came later. After Lu Xun burned the camps, Sun Huan and the Wu army attacked from the front and back, and successfully killed Feng Xi and Zhang Nan.

"But General Sun, if the enemy finds out what we are planning and chases us, we will suffer heavy losses, and I'm afraid only one out of ten will survive..."

A deputy general was quite worried.

"Don't worry, I have a clever plan to confuse the Shu army... hehe."

Sun Huan sneered twice, with a gleam in his eyes.
