As the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose. After resisting Hua Xiong's attacks for more than twenty rounds, Zu Mao finally ran out of energy. There was a flaw in his moves, and half of his shoulder was chopped off by Hua Xiong. As Zu Mao shouted "Ah¡ª¡ª", his right arm that was still holding the weapon was hacked away with dripping blood. Zu Mao, who was almost fainting from the pain, immediately turned his horse around with the consciousness of survival. Prepare to escape. But how could Hua Xiong let his military exploits escape like this? He took off a bow from the saddle, stretched the bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed at Zu Mao, who was lying on the horse and running for his life in a hurry. One arrow hit his heart. Zu Mao was spitting with a trace of unwillingness. Blood was carried down the horse's back. After Zu Mao was killed, the remaining Sun Jian army immediately became confused and could no longer resist the Xiliang army's attack. In just a few minutes, the Xiliang army broke through the defense line and chased the retreating large army. The victory or defeat of both sides on the battlefield has been very obvious. Sun Jian's army has been completely routed. Except for a few troops that still retain their organizational structure and retain their combat effectiveness, most of the remaining troops can no longer find generals. The generals do not know the troops and are operating in complete chaos. A group, let alone organized to kill the enemy. The Xiliang army, on the other hand, was full of momentum, and they all pursued with all their strength. No one was willing to give up the opportunity to beat the drowned dog and gain military exploits. Although the escaping Sun Jianjun soldiers wished that their parents had two legs and ran with all their strength, many people continued to fall behind, and because hundreds of thousands of people were fleeing to one place at the same time, the road ahead was already crowded. All kinds of cries and curses could be heard. Some people even waved their butcher knives at their comrades in order to get a chance to escape, seeing that the situation was about to get out of control. Sun Jian stood up in time. I saw Sun Jian riding on his horse and shouting: "All soldiers obey the order and use me as the boundary. Those behind me will be organized by General Huang Gai and Cheng Pu to retreat in an orderly manner. Once anyone disrupts the order of retreat, he will be killed without mercy! Anyone behind me will be killed without mercy!" The former, all follow me and turn back to face the enemy. If anyone is afraid of death and runs away, he will be killed without mercy!" Following Sun Jian's order, he killed several soldiers who did not obey the order on the spot. The situation was finally under control, especially after seeing the lord Sun Jian return to meet the enemy in person. The morale of the army, which had almost dropped to zero, was slightly improved. There were not many soldiers who were ordered to return to meet the enemy. Complain. After all, the high-ranking lords take the lead. No matter how greedy and fearful they are as small soldiers, they can't justify it. So Sun Jian organized soldiers on the spot, and with the help of Han Dang, they formed a temporary organization. He promised them that after today, all soldiers who participated in the war would receive generous rewards. If anyone unfortunately died in battle, as long as Sun Jian was not dead, , his family can receive generous pensions, with such various incentives. This temporarily formed force also has a combat effectiveness of 60 to 70% of its usual level. When Sun Jian saw Hua Xiong coming with his men, he already had a premonition that Zu Mao, who was in charge of cutting off the rear, was probably in trouble. But there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart. He asked Hua Xiong: "Where is General Zu? What did you do to him?" Hua Xiong looked at Sun Jian's disheveled appearance, coupled with the anxious expression on his face. , suddenly burst into laughter with pride. Being able to force a world-famous prince to such an extent, it¡¯s no wonder that he got carried away. With a wave of his hand, he asked the guards around him to carry out a body with a broken arm, and said to Looking at Sun Jian, he said, "Are you asking this man? Sorry, swords and arrows are blind on the battlefield. Originally, I wanted to invite him to our army as a guest, but he didn't appreciate it, so I had to kill him." . General Sun, I believe you are also a man who knows the current affairs. Today you have been defeated. Even if you can escape with your life, it is hard to say that the soldiers under your command will be able to survive at best. That's all. And you have led the army for so many years, and I believe you have made a lot of enemies. Do you think those people will let you and your family go if you lose the protection of the army? And my prime minister has always thought that you are a rare person? As long as you are willing to join the Xiliang Army, it will not only ensure the safety of your whole family, but also provide you with endless glory and wealth, allowing you to honor your ancestors. For the sake of your family, you should also think about the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under your command. Do you really want to resist and bury these subordinates who have been with you for many years with your own hands? " Seeing Hua Xiong really do it? He carried out Zu Mao's body and shamelessly surrendered himself in public. What was even more despicable was that he finally tried to alienate himself from his subordinates. This was unbearable! I saw Sun Jian looking at Zu Mao's body and shouting in a sad voice: "Old thief, return the life of General Zu! Dong Zhuo, the old thief, is acting against the will. God is angry and people are resenting you. Sooner or later, you will be punished by God. Even if my family is ruined and my family is destroyed, I, Sun Jian, will not fight with him." In the past, the King of Chu's eight thousand soldiers were able to conquer the world. Today, we have hundreds of thousands of brothers. If we surrender, won't we be ashamed of our elders in Jiangdong? Brothers, avenge my ancestors, come on!? The most important skill of a qualified leader is to confuse people. Although what Hua Xiong said before was very good, it not only greatly damaged the morale of Sun Jianjun, but even made many people feel war-weary and wanted to surrender. But he was far from a hero like Sun Jian. With just a few words, Sun Jian aroused the pride in the hearts of his soldiers, re-energized their morale, and followed Sun Jian into the army without fear of death. enemy. Soldiers faced soldiers, generals faced each other. As the two armies collided, Sun Jian and Hua Xiong fought together again. Due to the heavy blood debt between the two this time, their battle became more intense, especially Sun Jian. It was a desperate attack like a violent storm. He would rather hurt himself than add a few wounds to Hua Xiong's body. And Hua Xiong didn't have the slightest fear in the face of Sun Jian's offensive that would hurt both sides. Their Xiliang army had been fighting foreigners all year round and had long been accustomed to the ferocity of foreigners. This small scene now could not make him panic at all. But now they are at an advantage, and it is not a wise choice to die with the enemy. Therefore, when facing Sun Jian's offensive, he has to try his best to parry. However, once Sun Jian reveals a flaw, he will immediately seize the opportunity and switch to defense. Attack and give Sun Jian a heavy blow. When the battle started for more than ten rounds, both of them were already stained with blood, some from the enemy and some from their own, which showed how brutal the battle was. However, even so, the two of them were still entangled together like wild beasts. This At that time, they all gave up commanding the troops under their command and concentrated on dealing with the enemy in front of them. At the same time, they also gave up their skills and engaged in the most savage and violent confrontation like wild bulls. The two of them just shouted to kill and drowned out the surroundings. With the voices of hundreds of thousands of people, it is no exaggeration to describe this scene as dark and dark. However, although Sun Jian, as the general, was able to fight equally well with Hua Xiong, the army under his command could not. Although Sun Jian's previous encouragement boosted morale, it was still far from enough compared to the overwhelming Xiliang army. , plus the numbers were not as good as the enemy, so even with Han Dang's command, they were still unable to hold on under the rapid attack of the Xiliang Army, and they soon showed signs of defeat. As the Xiliang Army attacked, Sun Jian's army became more and more difficult to resist. It didn't take long before rout finally occurred in some places. The entire defense line began to collapse, while the enemy penetrated through the torn defense line and went around to the back. Trying to surround them all and annihilate them here. Seeing this situation, Han Dang could no longer remain calm. If the enemy bypassed him and attacked from both sides, the exhausted soldiers would definitely not be able to withstand the enemy's attack. The ending of destruction! The situation at this time was no longer under his control. He later placed his hope on his lord Sun Jian, hoping that he could turn the tide. However, Sun Jian was currently fighting with Hua Xiong inextricably and could not escape at all, let alone observe. The surrounding situation dictates the battle. Looking at the gradually collapsing defense line and Sun Jian who couldn't get away, Han Dang gritted his teeth and rushed towards Sun Jian and Hua Xiong's battle group. He said to Sun Jian: "My lord, my subordinates have not commanded well. The enemy has broken through our army's line." The defense line is outflanking our army in an attempt to encircle our army. The situation is extremely critical. Please go back and take charge of the overall situation. Leave this place to me!" I heard Han Dang say that their defense line was breached so quickly. How could they have done so long ago? Sun Jian, who was preparing, was still shocked, and was almost attacked by Hua Xiong. At this time, Sun Jian, who was worried about the situation of the battle, did not care too much. He parried Hua Xiong's attack with his sword, jumped out of the battle group, and said to Han Dang: "Then you Be careful!" Although Sun Jian also knew that Han Dang was no match for Hua Xiong, he could only do this at this time. He only hoped that Hua Xiong, who had been injured during the fight with him, was not strong enough to fight him in a short time. Defeat Han Dang. When Hua Xiong over there saw Han Dang joining the battle group, he was shocked at first. He thought the enemy was coming for reinforcements again, but soon after hearing Han Dang's words, he felt relieved and even said something. Unexplainable joy: It seems that Sun Jianjun is almost at the end of his rope. As long as he works harder, this Jiangdong tiger will become a stepping stone for him to become world-famous. Of course he refused to let Sun Jian leave easily at this time. As long as he could be held back, Sun Jian's army would be leaderless and could only wait to be slaughtered. So he immediately stepped up his attack on Sun Jian and at the same time called on other generals around him to come over. Help him hold Han Dang back. Although there are no other outstanding generals in the Xiliang army except Hua Xiong, a group of people can still hold one person down, and Sun Jian was not able to get away under Hua Xiong's dense offensive. Because he was preoccupied with the battle at this time and could not fully respond to the enemy, he was already at a disadvantage when dealing with Hua Xiong alone and could only defend passively.
