Chapter 134 Justice Four vs One
"General Xu!"

"The general is here!"

"I will assign all the cavalry to you. You must hold back the enemy's rear main force for more than three hours. Do you understand?"

"I will obey your orders!"

After receiving the military order, Xu Rong immediately mounted his horse and charged out with more than 2,000 cavalrymen.

As for Xun You, he used the Shesheng Camp to lead the battle and mobilized all his troops to launch a decisive battle.

Meanwhile, Wang Jing had just breached the coalition camp in Baoyu Mountain, dozens of miles east of Liang County. His Hongming Knife was soaked in blood, and the blood had not yet dried on the blade. He gave the order: "Light a fire, and burn all the food and grass here. Don't leave a single grain of corn for the enemy!"

Three thousand men secretly moved south, traveling light all the way, and successfully bypassed the main force of the coalition forces and attacked the camp.

The defenders were caught off guard and the camp was breached in an instant.

Wang Jing did not hesitate and chose to burn Sun Jian's food supplies, cutting off his food supply.

Even if tens of thousands of troops are good at fighting, once they are cut off from food supplies, they will all become weaklings and be slaughtered in a few days.

Even if Sun Jian could transport more food and grass from the rear, it would be too late. If people don't eat, they will be so hungry that their limbs will become weak after three days. Can they wait for ten days or half a month for you to gather food and grass?
Combat with cold weapons is completely different from combat with hot weapons. After entering the era of guns and cannons, even if a soldier is short of food and clothing, as long as he can still breathe, he will still have the strength to pull the trigger.

A soldier who uses cold weapons to fight, even if his fighting spirit is as strong as steel, will still feel dizzy and dizzy after going hungry for a few meals. At that time, let alone killing the enemy, being able to stand up and walk a few steps wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms would be considered a natural talent.

Therefore, in ancient battles, food and fodder had to be sent ahead before troops moved!

Soon, flames shot up into the sky from the coalition camp, heat waves were everywhere, and the aroma of burning food filled the mountains and fields.

Yuan Shu, who saw the camp being set on fire from afar, was almost mad with rage, and shouted angrily: "Who is willing to take back the camp for me and put out the fire?"

"The general will go where he wishes!"

Under Yuan Shu's command, Captains Zhang Xun and Liu Xun came out together. They each had two thousand Danyang soldiers. They were all well-trained elite infantrymen with strong combat capabilities known throughout the world.

The two had been upset that Sun Jian had overshadowed them before, and now they wanted to seize the opportunity to perform well in front of Yuan Shu in order to gain promotion.

"Okay, you two are both very loyal and brave. I will wait here for you two generals to report back the victory."

Liu Xun and Zhang Xun were overjoyed when they heard this, and they immediately assembled their troops and lined up for battle. As a result, when they walked outside the camp, they saw the Bingzhou armored battle flag with black characters on a red background.

On the fluttering flag, there was an iron-painted silver hook, straight yet sharp, like the Chinese character "King" made up of four swords intertwined together, which scared them out of their wits!

"Could the person who came be Qi Hou Wang Jing?"

Just by seeing Wang Jing's battle flag, Zhang Xun was already frightened to the point of turning purple before he even met the real person.

Liu Xun was briefly frightened, then his expression became ferocious. He shouted, "Why should we be afraid of him? We all have two arms and one head. No matter how strong Wang Jing is, can he have three heads and six arms? When you and I join forces, even if we cannot win, we can hold him back here. When the army surrounds him, Wang Jing will surely die!"

Liu Xun, who had always been eager for success and fame, now regarded Wang Jing and the Bingzhou soldiers as his prey.

"As long as we capture and kill Wang Jing, you and I will surely become famous throughout the world in one battle!"

"How can we miss such a good opportunity?"

Zhang Xun was persuaded. He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, deciding to seek wealth and honor at the risk of his life: "You are right. How can I refuse such a God-given merit? I will do as you say!"

Zhang Xun and Liu Xun had been under Yuan Shu's command for a long time. Apart from Sun Jian, they had never seen a true master. Therefore, they had only heard of Wang Jing's reputation but had never seen him. Therefore, they had the illusion that they had a chance to counterattack.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that they are leading the elite troops from Danyang.

It should be noted that the Danyang soldiers are the best in the south of the Yangtze River and are rare elite infantry in the world.

In this hellhole of a place called Danyang, although it covers an area of ​​thousands of miles, it is actually full of rugged mountains and the natural environment is extremely harsh.

This directly led to the local residents becoming very tough, often privately mining copper and smelting weapons, and forming tightly organized armed groups based on clans. They often used armed confrontation and took advantage of the geographical location to resist the exploitation of the government.

In addition, the people of Danyang also fought with the neighboring Shanyue tribe. The people were so tough and brave that they dared to fight.

The death squad under Li Ling of the Western Han Dynasty were elite soldiers from Danyang. They fought against 80,000 elite cavalry of the Huns with only 5,000 people. When no reinforcements arrived, they fought desperately. In the end, only 400 people were left and retreated into the interior. The commander Li Ling was forced to surrender, and the deputy commander Han Yannian died in the battle.

With the powerful national strength and brave soldiers of the Xiongnu at that time, 5,000 Danyang soldiers were able to frighten the Chanyu and make him almost retreat. Finally, they dared to attack only after they learned that Li Ling had no help. This shows how good the Danyang soldiers were at fighting.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Tao Qian, a native of Danyang County and an old warlord in Xuzhou, was able to fight against Cao Cao for many years with a group of rubbish and third-rate generals under his command, just because he had an elite group of Danyang soldiers.

Outside the coalition camp, three thousand Bingzhou soldiers were armed with sharp weapons and lined up to meet the enemy.

If an ordinary army encountered such a mighty and majestic posture, their morale would have been shaken and they would have suffered a crushing defeat.

However, the Danyang soldiers under Liu Xun and Zhang Xun held swords and shields, standing still and confronting the Bingzhou soldiers head-on.

"interesting."

Wang Jing looked at the two infantry troops in front of him and couldn't help but praise them out loud in his heart: "As expected of the world-famous Danyang soldiers, it's a pity that the commanders of such an elite division are two useless people."

Being called a good-for-nothing, Liu Xun was furious. He pointed his knife at Wang Jing and shouted, "Wang Yuanxu, stop being so arrogant!"

"Spear."

Wang Jing raised his right hand, and immediately a personal soldier handed him a short spear.

After taking the spear, Wang Jing silently used his profound skills and locked his mind directly on Liu Xun. Then he exerted force from his waist, his spine like a bow, and his fascia like strings. The surging and violent power was transmitted from his feet to his right arm and wrist.

Then, Wang Jing raised his arm and threw the ball.

The short spear turned into a flying rainbow, tearing through the air and making a sharp whistling sound, like a meteor hitting the moon, instantly crossing a distance of a hundred feet and heading straight for Liu Xun's face.

"My life is over!"

Liu Xun opened his dead fish eyes, his face turned pale with fear, and waved his knife to block.

But Wang Jing was strong enough to move mountains and his martial arts were unparalleled. How could a third-rate general like him be able to block the short spear that he threw with such great force?

The short spear smashed the weapon in Liu Xun's hand, pierced through the bright silver-red crucian carp armor on his body, and shot him off his horse, nailing him to the ground like a dead fish.

"How...how is it possible..."

Liu Xun had blood in his mouth, and there were even fragments of his internal organs mixed in the blood.

He still had an expression of disbelief on his face. The two of them were no less than 400 steps apart, which should have been a safe distance. Even if he was shot with a bow and arrow, he was confident that he could block or dodge it.

What the hell is a throwable spear?

Such arm strength and such accuracy are simply inhuman!

Liu Xun lay on the ground, his raised hand finally falling down powerlessly, and he died with his eyes open.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

Wang Jing displayed his prowess and killed the enemy general in seconds on the battlefield. The soldiers of Bingzhou were immediately encouraged and their morale rose. Their murderous spirit soared to the sky and their military strength increased dramatically.

"All troops, move forward and kill!"

With such a good opportunity, Wang Jing, who was already familiar with the military situation and tactics, knew that he should launch a decisive battle at this time. While his soldiers were in a brave state, he would surely be able to kill all enemies on the battlefield.

How could Wang Jing miss such an opportunity? He immediately ordered an attack.

"kill!"

Three thousand soldiers, swords clashing, monkeys howling in the sky, they are united as one, their attack is so fierce, like a landslide, unstoppable.

Boom~
In the wilderness, the two armies, like giant beasts, began to fight each other fiercely.

Behind the void, the weapons intertwined into the shape of a tiger, roaring in all directions and looking down on the world.

The long swords and iron halberds in the hands of the Bingzhou soldiers turned into the claws of the tiger. Every time they were swung, they brought up large pieces of enemy flesh and blood, causing terrible bloody storms.

"Even though the commander died in battle, can you still fight to the death?"

On the battlefield, Wang Jing held a knife and a sword in each hand, Hongming in his hand and Chunjun at his fingertips. He moved freely among the surging crowd as if he was strolling in a garden.

The knife is Hongming.

The sword is pure Jun.

The two divine weapons were used together to kill at this moment. The Hongming Sword was as bright as the scorching sun, destroying the army and killing the generals with ease.

The Chunjun sword is as bright as the moon, illuminating the army and inspiring their fighting spirit.

One is destruction, the other is order, two completely different forces, but at this moment they are controlled by the same person, and he uses them as easily as his fingers and arms, harmoniously and uniformly, becoming an unstoppable force.

It is like a surging trend, the torrent of history; those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish.

Faced with the sharpness of Wang Jing's sword, the Danyang soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but remained tenacious and unyielding, which was far beyond Wang Jing's expectations.

With his ability to observe qi, he saw that the enemy army was still able to maintain their high morale and their fighting spirit was unwavering.

"They were able to hold out for so long under my attack without collapsing. Such fighting spirit is truly incredible. No wonder the Danyang soldiers are so powerful that they can shock the world."

The Danyang soldiers, armed with swords and shields, are good at close combat in complex terrain.

However, Wang Jing deliberately chose an open area and ordered the Bingzhou soldiers to meet the enemy with spears.

An inch longer is an inch stronger. Shield defense was not very effective when facing dense halberd thrusts. In addition, Wang Jing personally launched the attacks, and the Danyang soldiers soon suffered countless casualties and suffered heavy casualties.

But even so, they still fought to the death. Their rock-hard fighting will moved Wang Jing.

Who wouldn't want such an excellent soldier?

Wang Jing did not deny that he was indeed a little envious.

However, the prerequisite for recruiting surrenders and traitors is still to become the victorious side in the war.

Therefore, Wang Jing did not hold back at all. He was wearing precious armor, a golden crown on his head, and a red fire cloud cloak fluttering in the wind behind him.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Wang Jing's cultivation is earth-shattering. He is a master in the world. He can choose one of the three great ways to the sky: refining essence, refining qi, and refining spirit. If he can cultivate it to some extent, he will be able to dominate the state.

Even if one is gifted by nature, being able to master two of the three skills, namely martial arts, Taoism and sacred words, is already a rare exception.

Wang Jing possesses the extraordinary skill of "Three Body Technique", which he transformed into artificial intelligence using computer language. Now he has activated the multi-core function, practicing many skills at the same time and integrating them with each other, achieving the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

If one cultivates and integrates the three elements of essence, energy and spirit, one will be able to transcend the mundane and shocking people throughout history.

Wang Jing was seen charging into the crowd alone, slashing with swords and knives without stopping, and he carved out a bloody path through the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

To capture a thief, one must first capture the leader. If one wants to subdue the Danyang soldiers in front of him, he must first defeat their leader.

"Protect the Captain!"

Zhang Xun's personal guards raised their shields and wanted to surround and kill Wang Jing, but as soon as they rushed forward, they were chopped back by Wang Jing's famous sword Chunjun.

Faced with the incomparably brave Wang Jing, these small soldiers were no match at all. In the blink of an eye, they were killed by Wang Jing as if he was in an empty space.

In just a few breaths, Wang Jing's famous sword Chunjun was already on Zhang Xun's neck: "Surrender, or die."

Zhang Xun saw that the situation was hopeless, and he had no intention of dying for Yuan Shu, so after sensing the murderous intent and determination in Wang Jing's eyes, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Qi, spare my life. I am willing to surrender!"

With Zhang Xun taking the lead, the rest of the Danyang soldiers also surrendered.

Wang Jing also rescued Hua Xiong and Wang Fang, two unlucky captives. Although they were seriously injured, they were fortunately not in danger of their lives.

"My lord, we are ashamed."

Hua Xiong was wrapped in bandages and knelt in front of Wang Jing with a look of humiliation on his face. He was captured alive when two of them fought against one. If this matter were told to others, Hua Xiong would feel ashamed.

"Get up! Victory and defeat are common in the military. If you know shame and then become brave, you are still a hero."

Wang Jing did not blame him too much. Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong, even forced Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu to retreat. Hua Xiong and Wang Fang did not die in the battle directly, so it can be said that their ancestral graves are full of praise.

After ordering Hua Xiong and Wang Fang to escort back to the rear to recuperate, Wang Jing focused his attention on the current battle situation.

Although the battle was won, the 3,000 soldiers suffered heavy losses. As for the Danyang soldiers who had just surrendered, their morale was somewhat unstable, and the Northern Army's generals were afraid that they would not be able to command them.

On the other hand, Sun Jian had just assembled an army of 40,000, and it was estimated that they would attack soon. Wang Jing could only entrust the important task to Zhang Xun and let him continue to lead the thousands of surrendered Danyang soldiers to cooperate in the battle.

"Zhang Xun."

"The general is here!"

"Yuan Shu is ambitious and Sun Jian is reckless. Neither of them is a wise leader. Are you willing to fight the enemy with me, or surrender and then rebel again, becoming a laughing stock of the world?"

"I am willing to die for Marquis Qi."

Zhang Xun was helpless. He was in a difficult situation and could only follow Wang Jing till the end.

In fact, he was a pure military general. He had always admired Wang Jing in his heart and had no objection to joining the Northern Army.

After all, many of the generals under Wang Jing's command came from humble backgrounds, but now they hold high positions based on their abilities. People like Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, who are only in their twenties, have already become generals or even provincial governors, holding high positions of power and influence.

Obviously, there is a future only if you follow a lord like this!

"Don't worry, I won't deliberately let you guys carry out a mission that will get you killed. Since you have joined the Northern Army, you are one of us."

Wang Jing's attitude towards the Danyang soldiers is completely different from that towards the Xiliang soldiers. After giving them a beating, it is time to give them some sweet treats to win their hearts.

After thinking for a while, Wang Jing made a promise to Zhang Xun and his Danyang soldiers: "Now the food and grass of the Sun-Yuan coalition have been burned by me, and their retreat is cut off. As long as we hold on for half a day and let the army surround us, you will have done a great deed."

Not only did it analyze the situation, it also gave hope and promise.

Neither Zhang Xun nor the Danyang soldiers had ever thought of working for Yuan Shu, so they naturally surrendered to Wang Jing sincerely at this moment.

"Array up!"

Zhang Xun was encouraged, and the Danyang soldiers under his command also regained their morale and began to line up on the right side of the Bingzhou soldiers.

Wang Jing also ordered the Bingzhou soldiers to form a battle formation with their backs against Baoyu Mountain, ready to fight against Sun Jian and Yuan Shu.

Tens of thousands of allied soldiers came from all over the mountains and plains, and quickly arrived at the battlefield by forced march, and Sun Jian himself still went to the front line in person, wanting to strangle the invading enemy in one fell swoop.

But when Sun Jian saw the thick smoke billowing in the camp, his mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

Cheng Pu and Han Dang were also shocked and extremely panicked: "Has the camp really been breached? And with such a big fire, I'm afraid our army's food and grass have been burned."

If the food and fodder for an army of 50,000 were burned, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Ah, looking at the smoke, I'm afraid all the food and grass have been burned to ashes by the fire."

Sun Jian pressed the hilt of the knife, and his heart seemed to be bleeding.

The last time they were defeated by Xu Rong was because Yuan Shu cut off their food supplies, which turned a good situation into a disastrous defeat.

Although Yuan Shu was not causing any trouble now, the situation was even worse than the last time he fought with Xu Rong.

The army’s food supplies were burned to ashes. How can we fight this war?
"Sun Jian!"

Yuan Shu came over with a sullen face to question him, calling him by his name without any courtesy: "Didn't you say that we would win this battle? Why did someone sneak into our camp? Now that our army's retreat has been cut off, you and I will both die without a burial place!"

Before Sun Jian could even open his mouth, Sun Ce started to curse, holding his sword and glaring at Yuan Shu in indignation: "Is this my father's responsibility? Aren't the troops guarding the camp yours?"

"You little brat, you have no right to speak here!"

After this misfortune, Yuan Shu was now furious.

You know, in order to raise the food, military pay, weapons, armor and other supplies needed for the 50,000-man army, he had tried his best and involved a lot of Yuan family connections.

It is true that the Yuan family of Runan is deeply rooted, but money and food do not come from the wind. To destroy the food supply of 50,000 troops in one go is not just cutting flesh, it is cutting off limbs!
What's worse is that if the 50,000 troops that were recruited with great difficulty were to be destroyed, even the Yuan family of Runan, which had three generations of officials, could not afford a few losses of this magnitude.

Yuan Shu was not the eldest son of the Yuan family. What he was doing now had made many elders in the family who stood on Yuan Ji's side dissatisfied.

If he can't produce any more impressive results, how can the family continue to bet on him and support him in achieving success?

"Well, now is not the time for us to start quarrels and fight among ourselves!"

Seeing that the coalition was about to fall apart, Sun Jian had to stand up and looked at Yuan Shu sincerely: "General, at this critical moment of life and death, we must work together, otherwise we will lose our composure and be defeated by the enemy."
