Chapter 913: Li Dian meets the enemy, Xiahou's plan

"Shoot the arrow!"

"There are ambushers! Form formation and raise shields!"

"The infantry wears armor and guards the periphery, the shield soldiers protect the crossbowmen, and form a formation to fight back!"

Under Li Dian's command, Cao's army quickly stabilized the formation and formed a formation to defend. Li Dian was not in a hurry, because although the opponent's attack was sudden, the effect of the attack was not obvious. The only advantage that could be said was the terrain, which occupied favorable terrain on the hillside.

"The infantry advances ten steps forward! The shield soldiers and crossbow soldiers follow up!"

"volley!"

"The infantry advances ten steps forward, and the shield soldiers and crossbow soldiers follow!"

Li Dian steadily took advantage of the defensive advantages of heavy infantry, and pushed the hillside bit by bit, slowly forcing the enemy down. Half an hour later, Li Dian occupied the hill, and the enemy had been forced to the other side of the hill. However, the enemy did not retreat, but retreated for a distance and began to re-form the formation!

After thinking about it for a moment, Li Dian immediately understood the other party’s plan: “Retreat, go back below the hillside!”

Seeing that Cao's army did not continue to pursue, the troops who came to attack had to press forward again. They originally planned to lure Li Dian to pursue him forward, and then use the long-range weapons they had just set up to destroy Li Dian's heavy infantry, but who knew that Li Dian was not fooled at all.

After retreating to the bottom of the hillside, Li Dian immediately adjusted his direction and it was a very tricky thing to arrange long-range strike troops in the wild. It would be fine if Li Dian was not prepared, but it would be too stupid to be bombarded if he was prepared.

Seeing that Li Dian was not deceived, the sneak attacker had to use infantry to keep pestering Li Dian. Both sides were killing time in the arrows coming and going.

Li Dian knew that the other party was waiting for his heavy infantry to consume his physical strength, and then they would arrange long-range troops. The enemy was bullying Li Dian without cavalry and corresponding long-range troops. In order to solve this dilemma, Li Dian needed to find a suitable terrain and use the terrain to offset the enemy's long-range advantages.

When the sun sets west, Li Dian was lucky enough to find a suitable terrain, use the high ground on both sides to control the valley entrance where the formation can be set up, and then stalk the camp in this not very deep valley. If the enemy wants to capture the high ground on both sides, they need to meet the heavy infantry in person by hand. With a limited number of long-range weapons, it is difficult to cause major damage to the scattered heavy infantry.

In order to prevent enemy fire attacks, Li Dian cut off all the trees in the highlands and valleys and built a fairly strong camp.

....................................................

Xiahou Dun, who received the Li Dian battle report, immediately found the place where he was fighting on the map, about one hundred miles northeast of Shucheng Fortress. This shows that Sun Ce's mobilization should have started the day before yesterday. It is false to say that Sun Ce's attack strength has increased in the past two days.

There is a saying in the art of war: if you can show it, you cannot show it, and if you cannot show it, you can.

Sun Ce increased his attack to hide the fact that some of his troops had been pulled away, but Sun Ce also brought a harm while increasing the attack strength, that is, to increase the attack intensity with the decrease in the number of people, obviously it requires the soldiers to put in more physical strength. Therefore, Sun Ce's soldiers must be very tired now!

Xiahou Dun felt that his opportunity was here!

However, for the sake of safety, Xiahou Dun carefully sent a reconnaissance cavalry to infiltrate the surrounding area while the night was dark. At the same time, he also inquired about the situation from the intelligence personnel in the surrounding cities.

Soon, the intelligence from all parties was summarized. Xiahou Dun valued the most the food transportation situation in Shu County. The troops could be hidden, but the food could not be hidden. The other was the information of Yiren. As long as Yiren paid for it, he could buy any information. Moreover, Yiren's information was quite accurate and timely.

Judging from all the information, the troops on the battlefield around Shucheng Fortress have not increased. In other words, the 50,000 infantry who went to ambush Li Dian was drawn from Sun Ce's troops. In other words, Sun Ce has only 50,000 infantry in his hands, while Xiahou Dun has 50,000 infantry and 30,000 militia in Shucheng Fortress.

The fighter plane appeared!

In the middle of the night, Xiahou Dun opened the city gate and took advantage of the night to move towards Sun Ce's camp. However, Sun Ce was very careful and arranged a large number of light and dark whistle cavalry around. Xiahou Dun's troops were discovered before they could approach Sun Ce's camp. Then both sides fought randomly.

Seeing that the other party was ready, Xiahou Dun retreated in time. However, in the early morning, Xiahou Dun's troops once again went out of the city to attack, but were still discovered. Xiahou Dun still returned in vain.

At dawn, Sun Ce actually continued to attack despite the night of tossing last night. Xiahou Dun was overjoyed! This time, your son Sun Ce finally fell into the trap!

It turned out that Xiahou Dun had no intention of attacking Sun Ce last night, but was just to harass him. The purpose was to let Sun Ce's army rest. Although Xiahou Dun thought that Sun Ce's division of troops was a good opportunity to attack, if Xiahou Dun went out of the city to attack Sun Ce's camp, Sun Ce would be willing to take care of Xiahou Dun, although Xiahou Dun had a slight advantage in military strength, he might not be able to achieve any good results.

Xiahou Dun's plan was to attack Sun Ce unexpectedly today when Sun Ce was sieging the city and use field battles to completely defeat Sun Ce. The only risk Xiahou Dun needs to take is probably whether relying on militias can withstand Sun Jian's attack.

Perhaps the militia was very strong, or perhaps it was because Sun Ce's troops did not rest well last night, which led to a decline in combat effectiveness. Anyway, Sun Ce had been in war for about an hour, but he still did not make any progress!

At this time, Xiahou Dun saw that the time was ripe, so he decisively ordered to start a counterattack!

"boom!"

"Dongdong..."

As the city gate opened, the rapid war drums resounded through the sky like thunder!

"Kill!"

The surging enemy troops rushed out of the open city gate and rushed towards the already exhausted troops under the city wall!

"Not good! Order to retreat!"

"Don't be chaotic, keep the formation, fight and retreat!"

"Don't be confused. If you are confused, you will die. If you want to survive, keep the formation!! Keep the formation!"

The troops of both sides were immediately tangled together. Xiahou Dun decisively led the troops to rush towards Sun Ce's banner. The pretending troops along the way really fled in all directions. It turned out that these were elite troops disguised by Yi Ren and the baggage soldiers!

"Clash! Kill Sun Ce and behead him and be appointed as the marquis!"

"Kill!"

When he saw Sun Ce's army revealing his true face, Cao's morale suddenly rose sharply and he rushed towards Sun Ce's central army flag even more violently.

Seeing Xiahou Dun coming in a fierce manner, Sun Ce had to order the central army to fight and go slowly backwards. The movement of the flag of the coach made the troops in front feel even more panicked. Fortunately, these were all elite troops, and Cheng Pu was in front of him. At first, he was caught off guard by Cao's army, but although he was defeated, he could still slowly stand backwards.

Both sides chased and fled, and soon retreated five or six miles away. Xiahou Dun saw that Sun Ce's banner was already in sight, and immediately divided his troops and surrounded him one by one on the left and one by one, trying to completely surround Sun Ce!

At this moment, Xiahou Dun suddenly felt the ground under his feet tremble. Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment, and then looked to the east in horror. However, the battlefield was very chaotic at this time, and the sound of killing was very noisy. Xiahou Dun could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a black shadow moving in the east, but he didn't know what was going on.

But soon Xiahou Dun understood what that was! Cavalry!!

Xiahou Dun immediately knew that he had been trapped!

"Retreat, retreat! The whole army returns to the city! Hurry!" Xiahou Dun shouted loudly with his eyes bursting!

But, it's too late!

The rumbling cavalry seemed to descend from the sky, completely splitting the chasing Cao army from the side. Cheng Pu also commanded the infantry with a huge morale to start fighting back, and the cavalry were divided into several teams, interspersing back and forth in the Cao army formation like plowing the ground until the Cao army formation was completely split!

At this time, Xiahou Dun also knew that it was impossible to withdraw his mind. Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth and rushed towards Sun Ce's flag with his own soldiers. Or if he could kill Sun Ce at this time, he could slightly offset his fault for his decision-making mistakes.

Seeing that Xiahou Dun's flag did not retreat but advanced, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel happy. He immediately commanded the central army beside him to change the formation and turn the original circular formation into a square formation, with spearmen in front and crossbows behind.

"Prepare the volley! Let it go!"

"Arrow rain!"

"Arc Lan!"

"Reinstall, free shooting! Free shooting!"

The dense rain of arrows and skills poured down towards Xiahou Dun's guards. Xiahou Dun was shocked to find that the enemy's attack was very lethal, and Sun Ce was indeed a powerful general! But at this time, you can't hesitate. No matter what the result is, you can only rush forward and retreat and die faster!

"Kill! Kill Sun Ce!"

"kill!"

"The gunman is ready, hold a gun! Punch forward!"

"kill!"

"Caval the gun, retreat in the front team, advance in the back team, and stab in the left!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Xiahou Dun's heart was bleeding as he watched his guards fall down one by one, but it was useless to think about this at this time. The spear in Xiahou Dun's hand was like a phantom, roaring through the air, taking away life, but no matter how brave he was, he could not change the fact that his soldiers were constantly dying.

"Concentrate on shooting enemy generals!"

The continuous rain of arrows flew towards Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Dun had to give up the offensive and return to defense.

"Blade Rain!"

Sun Ce had arrived in front of the formation for some time. Seeing Xiahou Dun busy fighting left and right, he threw a general up without hesitation.

Xiahou Dun was shocked, his spear turned sharply, and turned into an oath and greeted the huge dark red sword shadow.

"boom!"

Xiahou Dun's war horse was unable to bear the pressure, and his legs bent, and he suddenly lay on the ground. Xiahou Dun couldn't breathe, his chest was in severe pain, and his movements couldn't help but froze.

However, the time around will not stop. In just a moment, Xiahou Dun's body was flooded with arrows!

Then, another huge sword shadow broke through the air!

"The enemy general is dead, surrender to avoid death!"

"Xiahou Dun is dead! We are victorious!"
Chapter completed!
