    The three armies had passed through the valley previously guarded by Wenpin two days ago. When they arrived here, the Jiangdong Army was only two to three hundred miles away from Jiangxia City. However, at this time, Jiangxia City had lost its last line of defense and was no longer in danger.  Defending, Jiangdong's army would sweep the plains, attack the city within a few days, and form an encirclement with Gan Ning's troops who had landed at Xiakou.

    Zhou Yu was riding on a horse, holding a mountain-shaped geographical map in his hand, and said to Sun Ce: "Brother, according to our current marching speed, we will definitely be able to reach Jiangxia in less than four days." [bsp; Sun Ce's body swayed with the horse's body.  , was silently looking at the spreading clouds at the end of the world, when he heard Zhou Yu's voice, Sun Ce frowned slightly: "Four more days? Isn't there only two or three hundred miles to go?"

    Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Brother, if you say this, you are not considerate of the soldiers. In this expedition to Jingzhou, each infantryman carries at least forty kilograms of equipment and supplies. Running forty to sixty miles a day is exhausting."  Although Long is carrying cavalry, we have few horses, so we need to cherish the horse power. We usually lead the horses while marching, and only mount the horses to charge in war. In this way, the marching speed is naturally the same as that of infantry. Fortunately, there are no more mountains and rivers in front of us.  , otherwise we won¡¯t be able to reach Jiangxia in four days.¡±

    "If I had known better, I would have gone up the river and landed from Xiakou with Xingba." Sun Ce muttered. "Although Wenpin surrendered in the end, we were blocked for nearly half a month. If it weren't for Zibu and Zigang,  These two are experts in internal affairs, and this food and grass supply is really a problem."

    Zhou Yu rolled up the map and said: "The water march can only take a few days. There have been continuous spring rains in the past few days and the river has surged. It is very inconvenient to sail against the current. If you are not careful, you may be washed back to the Lujiang River." Zhou Yu seemed to smile.  He looked at Sun Ce with a non-smile and said, "Besides, my brother doesn't have so many ships."

    "After all, my family is still weak." Sun Ce sighed, and then said a little worriedly: "I don't know why, I can't calm down these days. Although I can't say what's wrong, I always feel that marching at this speed is helpful.  It¡¯s inappropriate.¡±

    Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick. My brother's worries are not unreasonable."

    "My general orders the front army to abandon their excess baggage and advance at full speed. After the rear army has packed up its baggage, it can reorganize and move forward." Sun Ce ordered, "Starting today, the front army will march day and night. They must arrive at Jiangxia City and set up camp the day after tomorrow.  , military punishment for those who fall behind!"

    Zhou Yu turned his horse and was about to go down to deliver the order, but he saw Cheng Pu riding towards the front army. Cheng Pu had been taking Sun Ce's place in the main formation of the central army in the past few days, suppressing the three armies. If there was no urgent military situation, he would not dare to leave without permission.  .

    "My lord!" Cheng Pu's expression changed slightly, "There are people marching nearby, and it should be a large number of cavalry as expected."

    "Cavalry?" Sun Ce frowned, "How did General Cheng know?"

    Cheng Pu inserted the iron-spine snake spear in his hand into the ground, handed the gun barrel to Sun Ce and said, "My lord, stick up and listen."

    Sun Ce put his ear close to listen. To be honest, he heard nothing and could only look at Cheng Pu blankly.  Cheng Pu said anxiously: "This sound is definitely not the sound that the thousands of horses under Zilong's tent can make. What is coming is a cavalry battle formation, a cavalry battle formation!"

    "Cavalry battle formation!" Sun Ce was shocked when he heard this and shouted: "Ming Feng Dy, Ming Feng Dy, the three armies are on alert, ready to fight!" Sun Ce was no longer so calm when he saw Zhou Yu. The cavalry battle formation in Jingzhou could only be  Zhang Xiu of Xiangyang and the Xiliang cavalry under his tent.

    One sword after another flew into the sky with a sharp whistle. Three consecutive swords showed the urgency of the military situation. The powerful horn sounded immediately, and the mountain forest armor set up a shield wall in front.  An arrow was clasped on the bowstring, and all the foot soldiers pointed their spear points diagonally, forming the strongest defensive formation.  After the previous battle in Lujiang, Sun Ce had already seen that his infantry formation was too rigid and lacked variables. The formation formed this time was carefully researched by Zhou Yu and others, and unpredictable changes were the key to victory.  Sun Ce clenched his fists tightly, his hands full of cold sweat, because at this time, the vibrations under his feet became more and more obvious, and faint smoke and dust also rose on the horizon.

    The black wolf flag was raised amidst the thunderous sound of iron hoofs, and the Xiliang cavalry, which was rarely matched in the world, finally stepped onto the battlefield of the late Han Dynasty again.  Sun Ce pursed his lips tightly. This was the second time he saw this wolf flag.  In the battle of Lujiang, he buried nearly ten thousand brothers under this wolf flag. What about this time?

    Ling Tong and Xu Sheng stood behind Sun Ce on horseback, while the other generals held their own positions and were ready to meet the enemy.  The oncoming cavalry did not charge directly, but reined in their horses.  The smoke and dust dispersed, and the world-famous Xiliang Cavalry finally revealed their true colors. The majestic and tall solid-colored horses were a full horse head taller than the horses of the Wind Fire Cavalry. Their chests were as broad as a wall, and their four hooves  Strong and strong, he can easily crush obstacles in front of him into mud.  Instead of??They are war horses, rather they are war bears. In front of them, the war horses of the Windfire Cavalry are just donkeys.

    There are two black war horses standing under the wolf flag. The warrior-like man is wearing dark light armor. The whole figure is as if cast together with the war horses under his crotch. His long black hair is flying in the wind, and his cheeks are like knives and axes.  Like a split, sharp edges and corners.  On the horse behind him was a middle-aged scribe with a slight smile. Although he was smiling, his snake-like eyes shone with a deceitful light.

    "Is this His Highness the Marquis of Wu coming?" the warrior on the black horse asked, "I am Zhangxiu of Xiliang, along with his military advisor Jia Xu, who came here to pay my respects!"

    "General Zhang, you're welcome. The King of Spears in the North and the poisonous warrior in the world are names that are enough to alarm the world. I heard that General Zhang has surrendered to Liu Jingsheng's account and is stationed in Xiangyang to serve as his northern vassal. It seems that the general's trip is to  Are you going to compete with me?"

    "Yes, Liu Biao ordered me to intercept the prince, so I led the troops to attack thousands of miles away. The men did not take off their armor and the horses did not unsaddle. A few days ago, I heard that Wenpin had surrendered to the prince, so I do not overestimate my ability and am willing to drag him here.  Stay with the Lord as he moves forward!"

    "General Zhang is really magnanimous!" Sun Ce praised. "After passing the valley guarded by Wenpin, I thought Jiangxia was already in my possession, but unexpectedly I met the general here. I underestimated the speed of the general's cavalry and the battle.  My determination was indeed a miscalculation."

    "You are so complimentary, and I am really ashamed of myself." Zhang Xiu raised his hands on horseback, "I have a question, and I hope you can give me some advice. I wonder how willing you are to fight with me against the enemy?"

    Sun Ce was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does General Zhang mean?"

    "If the monarch leads his troops back to Lujiang, the hostility can be turned into friendship without damaging the harmony between the two families."

    "Hahahaha." Sun Ce looked up to the sky and laughed. "I deliberately avoided the general's sharp edge, but it was impossible for me to retreat. The harmony between Liu Biao and I ended when my father was killed in Yanshan Mountain under Xiangyang City.  When you die, there will be nothing left of you!¡±

    Zhang Xiu said with a serious face: "It is really unfortunate that General Wentai died. The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. As a man, we are in the world. How can we not avenge our hatred? Since the prince is unwilling to retreat, then I have no choice but to sacrifice my life."  I offended you by accompanying a gentleman."

    Sun Ce smiled and said: "If you can defeat the enemy, why bother to kill more? I have long heard that the general learned from Tong Yuan, the Penglai spear god Sanren, and he has a tiger-headed golden spear that is amazing. I have admired it for a long time. Since we are lucky enough to meet today, how can we not ask for some advice?  ?¡±

    Zhang Xiu was secretly shocked. Although his master Tong Yuan was a master of spear skills, few people knew his reputation.  Zhang Xiu lifted up the war gun hanging on the saddle, held it horizontally in front of him, raised his left palm, and cupped his right hand into a fist: "Your Majesty, please!"

    Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed Sun Ce's arm armor, leaned down and said, "Brother, think twice!"

    Sun Ce had no expression on his face, pushed Zhou Yu's hand away, bowed respectfully, and said: "Please!"

    Sun Ce clamped his mount, picked up the Panlong Tiger Head Spear and slowly stepped out of the formation. As the two of them came out of the formation, unspeakable pressure slowly spread in front of the formation.
