290 Fighting Sun Jian
These thousand personal guards have been following Zhao Fei for a long time, many of them are the Yellow Turban soldiers who have followed Zhao Fei from Guangzong County.
All of them have started a family, and all single people have been married by Zhao Fei.
Over the years, most of them, children, have been able to make soy sauce, of course there is no soy sauce in this era.
Without the last step, Zhao Fei definitely didn't want them to be in such a situation of fighting to the death.
In so many battles before, very few of the thousands of personal guards were killed or injured because the opponent was very weak.
But the opponents faced this time, the Overlord Knight's force will not be weaker than them.
These people are Zhao Fei's true direct descendants, and everyone's loyalty is 100. Many of them, including their wives and children, are known to Zhao Fei. Many of their marriages are even hosted by Zhao Fei himself.
Some of them are not very literate, and even Zhao Fei helped him pick up the child's name.
Zhao Fei is selfish, a bit cold-blooded, but also has feelings.
If he is for his own safety, he will not be able to give up these thousand personal guards, but he will definitely be able to do it with all his heart.
But now it is just an interceptor of the Overlord Cavalry, and it is not a time to fight to the death.
If it were not necessary, Zhao Fei secretly decided in his heart that he would not send them to fight.
As for the other serial cavalry, Shanyue Army and Danyang Army, to be honest, Zhao Fei did not have much contact with them, so there was not much emotion.
In addition to the serial cavalry, many of the Shanyue Army who were highly loyal were transferred to the personal guards of various generals and became the Tiger Guards.
Those who are still in the Shanyue Army are still in good loyalty, but they have not reached the full value of 100. If you lose a little more, Zhao Fei will compensate him well after the battle, but he will not feel too sad.
As for the cavalry, they have loyalty, but because there is no requirement for force, they are all ordinary Jiangdong children with more than a dozen military forces. They can be quickly replenished after losses. The time for the army is still short, and Zhao Fei's feelings for them are not too deep.
In this way, Zhao Fei chose to consume a series of cavalry compared to the one thousand personal guards.
A few days later, the flag of battle was waving.
Sun Jian had already received the news that Liyang County was captured. When the messenger came, Zhao Fei deliberately did not send his soldiers to block the road from Jiangning County to Hushu County, otherwise Sun Jian would not have received the news so quickly.
Sun Jian had no last chance to be lucky. He knew that there was not much food and could not be delayed, so he immediately summoned all the troops and prepared to leave.
After Zhao Fei got the movement in the city, he immediately gathered all the troops.
A big war is inevitable, but no matter what the result is, unless Zhao Fei's entire army is wiped out, Sun Jian will definitely withdraw his troops to Huainan County after this battle.
"Brother Yisheng is really a young talent. He turned the situation around in just a few tricks, which made me very impressed," Sun Jian said to Zhao Fei with a little admiration and emotion after the two armies lined up.
When Zhao Fei heard Sun Jian, he thought that he had drunk and talked with Sun Jian in Xiliang before. Although he was just a county magistrate at that time, Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian both valued him very much and did not neglect him because of the size of their official position. They were both heroes and had the ability to be wise and tolerant.
It's only a few years now, but my former comrades and colleagues have drawn their swords to each other. This fate is really unpredictable.
Zhao Fei sighed a little in his heart and said, "The General Wentai is brave and powerful, and his power is not inferior to that of that time. General Wentai is so heroic, but he is inferior to Yuan Highway. It's a pity."
Zhao Fei was still full of bad water, so he didn't forget to apply some eye drops to Sun Jian at this time.
Sun Jian felt a little angry when he heard this. He knew what Zhao Fei meant, and he had the idea of being independent in his heart. However, he could only think about this kind of thing secretly, and it was absolutely impossible to say it on the surface.
Once Yuan Shu finds out, there will inevitably be a gap in his heart.
At this time, the land in the world is basically in charge. If Sun Jian wants to be independent, it will be difficult to find a place to settle down.
Sun Jian's face gradually became colder. He originally wanted to seek some friendship and see if Zhao Fei could see whether he could let him go because of his past feelings, and then he would not interfere with the river.
It was just that Zhao Fei's instigation that he did not have any old feelings for Sun Jian in his heart.
Humph, I attacked Jiangdong while my troops were scattered and empty. Now I have spent a lot of effort to gain the upper hand. Now I want to get acquainted. Why didn’t I think I was a colleague before, so I had the nerve to attack?
Of course, Zhao Fei just muttered these words in his heart and would not say them explicitly.
At present, in addition to the 40,000 troops under his command, Zhao Fei, the 20,000 troops originally stationed in Jiangcheng County, also arrived outside Jiangning County under the command of Wang Meng and Yi Feng to prevent the troops in Jiangning County from coming out to pick up Sun Jian.
Sun Jian’s army in Hushu County is 30,000, and Zhao Fei’s 40,000 are Danyang soldiers with low loyalty, and they do not have much advantage.
"I think it's very difficult for Brother Yisheng to stop my 30,000 troops. At that time, there will be heavy losses. Brother Yisheng still has major issues to do, and Jiangdong still needs to be suppressed everywhere. If the loss of troops is too large, it will be very unfavorable for Brother Yisheng," Sun Jian persuaded loudly, obviously he didn't want to fight to the end with Zhao Fei, because it was meaningless. He asked himself that it would be impossible to defeat Zhao Fei completely. Even if he could win a big game, Zhao Fei was injured and Sun Jian had no source of food, so he could only withdraw his troops.
Although these 50,000 troops are not all Sun Jian's direct line, the Sun family's troops are all among them. Once the losses are too large, even if Yuan Shu replenishes his troops afterwards, it will be completely different. This loyalty is not so easy to cultivate, and those soldiers are all Yuan Shu's troops.
Zhao Fei smiled faintly. Sun Jian's hot temper of Jiangdong Tiger changed a lot. He did not immediately lead the way, and his character grew a lot.
Zhao Fei slowly looked away, but smiled inexplicably and said to Sun Jian: "What the General of Wentai is saying makes sense, please."
After Zhao Fei finished speaking, he waved his hand and made a way out in the middle of the line in the originally neat queue.
Sun Jian's face stagnated. He didn't expect Zhao Fei to play cards so unreasonably. He originally thought it would take a lot of eloquence and even made some promises to let Zhao Fei go, but he didn't expect that Zhao Fei agreed immediately after just mentioned it.
Has your eloquence become so good?
Sun Jian absolutely did not believe that Zhao Fei was so busy and mobilized many troops to integrate the army. He let it go just because of his words. There must be something strange about it.
But at this time, Sun Jian hesitated for a while, but still didn't expect Zhao Fei to have any idea.
Do you want to cut off the people behind me when most of the people on my side pass?
When Sun Jian thought of Zhou Yu's words, he couldn't help but think of this kind of thought in his mind.
Sun Jian turned his head and looked at Zhou Yu, and found that he nodded thoughtfully.
It seems that this is the reason. Sun Jian felt a little relieved. As long as he understood Zhao Fei’s purpose, it would be easier.
"Haha, then Sun thanks brother Yisheng," Sun Jian said with a seemingly heartily laughing.
Next, Sun Jian arranged infantry to go ahead, and the entire army passed through the middle of Zhao Fei's army in an orderly manner.
Zhao Fei asked the teams on both sides to split quickly, and he didn't want the atmosphere to be too tense.
Zhao Fei didn't want to fight Sun Jian in full swing. His target was only three thousand overlord cavalry, and the infantry could all be let go.
As Guo Jia expected, Sun Jian arranged for Sun Ce to take three thousand overlords to ride at the end after guessing that Zhao Fei might cut off a small part of the rear army.
In fact, Sun Jian was not wrong. The Overlord Cavalry was a cavalry. Even if Zhao Fei wanted to join the encirclement, it would be difficult for him to withstand the impact of the cavalry.
Sun Jian’s mistake was that he underestimated Zhao Fei’s determination to wipe out the Overlord Cavalry.
Even Guo Jia didn't expect Zhao Fei to be so thoughtful. He originally thought that Zhao Fei would leave at most 10,000 invaders from Sun Jian!
Guo Jia couldn't guess it, and it was even more impossible for Zhou Yu, who had not reached the peak at this time.
Zhou Yu just subconsciously felt something was wrong, but he just didn't know what was wrong. He was silent on the side. Sun Jian's arrangement was not wrong at all. What was wrong?
Zhou Yu had thought that Zhao Fei would join forces to attack the Overlord Cavalry. He and Sun Jian and Sun Ce had thought about it, but they didn't think that Zhao Fei would spend an extremely huge price to deal with the Overlord Cavalry.
Even if you eliminate the 27,000 infantrymen outside the Overlord Cavalry and only release the Overlord Cavalry, Zhao Fei's casualties will be much smaller than if you only deal with the Overlord Cavalry.
It was precisely because they didn't know Zhao Fei's determination that Zhao Fei was fighting the Overlord Knight's attention.
Every move of Sun Jian is extremely in line with Zhao Fei's wishes.
Time passed slowly, and more than 27,000 soldiers passed through Zhao Fei's encirclement, leaving only the last three thousand overlords.
Sun Jian felt a secretly relieved, and then he was full of doubts. How could Zhao Fei let it go so easily?
Zhao Fei could feel the depressing state of Sun Jian's 30,000 troops, and when all the infantry passed, he felt relieved.
Zhao Fei smiled in his heart. This is the time when people are most relaxed and unprepared.
"Action!" Zhao Fei shouted coldly.
With Zhao Fei's order, the soldiers who were originally scattered on both sides quickly surrounded him.
Ten thousand Shanyue troops were outside, forming a tight formation, aiming all the weapons in their hands at more than 20,000 enemy infantry that had passed.
Behind the Shanyue Army are the archers formed by the Danyang Army, all of which are drawn with bows.
These Danyang soldiers let them kill the enemy in close combat, and may suffer more casualties, but they will be defeated due to their low loyalty.
But when Zhao Fei was pulling a bow and shooting arrows in the distance, he believed that they could still do it well.
What's more, these Danyang soldiers are led by Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci has a general with the Fiery Fire Arrow. This shooting technique is not bad, only a little worse than Huang Zhong. It should be comparable to the archery skills of people like Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and Xiahou Yuan.
A thousand cavalry chains were all arranged in a group, and ten cavalry were a small team, connected by iron chains, with a total of one hundred teams.
They are all wearing heavy armor, and horses are protected by iron armor in key parts. They can be said to be a steel monster. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Piaotian. Literature registered members recommend this work. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
