Yan Xing’s mission does not seem complicated. He harassed Yuan Tan at night and cut off the contact between Lu Qian and Yuan Tan during the day. There are no more requirements. In Guo Jia’s words, you can do it yourself.

This tactic gives Yan Xing an unprecedented degree of freedom. A thousand rigorous training but has been overwhelmed by Yi Cong's cavalry. He waits for merit every day but never waits for the opportunity to make merit. The knight who screams with a sobbing armor, new weapons, and a luxurious configuration of one war horse and one horse prepared for each person. After Sun Ce was besieged by heavy troops, he became a new surprise soldier, wandering on the battlefield, waiting for a chance to shine.

It is not difficult to cut off the contact between Lu Qian and Yuan Tan. Lu Qian only had more than a hundred cavalry, and even if he sent all these people out, he could not pass through Yan Xing's defense line. Yan Xing sent a team of light cavalry who was good at riding and shooting to chase Lu Qian's messenger and ran away with his head, causing heavy casualties. The rest could only wait patiently.

So Yan Xing naturally sent some cavalry to monitor the ambush position of the Yuan army that was close to the point. Xie Guanglong and others attacked the camp. When the Yuan army counterattacked, Yan Xing received the news and then gathered troops to come. But he was still a step slower. The Yuan army soldiers were far less strong than they thought. When he heard Yan Xing's horn and saw more cavalry coming, the strong crossbow captain jumped on the war horse and ran away.

Seeing the moving battle flag from afar, Yan Xing sighed secretly, blew the trumpet again, and ordered the rushing formation to block the killing. One thousand cavalry slowed down, changed from a sagittal formation to a Yanxing formation. As Yan Xing adjusted the direction, he followed the defeated Yuan soldiers.

One thousand cavalrymen covered and killed five thousand defeated infantrymen. Even though most of them were powerful crossbowmen, it was still not difficult to describe them. Without formation cover, without sword and shield hands, and spearmen protection, it was difficult to exert their true power. Seeing that their companions were running, few crossbowmen had the courage to stop and try to counterattack. However, many people felt that crossbows and arrows affected their escape, and threw away their crossbows and arrow bags and went into battle lightly.

Most of these knights from Guanzhong. When they saw this scene, they cursed without freedom, and were full of the superiority of the Guansai people.

"Kanto'er is cowardly and has indeed become famous."

"No wonder Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops were killed by Dong Zhuo, and it turned out that they were all like this."

Ma Chao was not mentally prepared for Yuan's rapid defeat. He had not even finished a charge, so why did these people retreat? The limit distance of the war horse's full speed charge was five or six hundred steps, barely enough for him to charge back and forth. If a charge could not defeat the opponent, they had to withdraw from the battlefield, widen the distance, and wait for the next opportunity. Otherwise, the war horse would be exhausted and would easily lose speed and become a target for infantry siege.

It was precisely because he was worried that he would not be able to complete the task that Ma Chao decided to ask Yan Xing for help. If he had known that these Yuan soldiers were so careless, why would he give this opportunity to Yan Xing and owe him a favor for nothing?

"It's all my fault. I overestimated these Guandongs and let Yan Ming pick up the cheap ones." Ma Chao turned over and dismounted, lifted up his armor, took off his pants, took out the prepared cloth and medicine, cut his thighs with a slap, and slowly pulled out the arrow that shot through his thighs. Blood gushed out, and the pain was heart and lungs. Ma Chao gritted his teeth and didn't say a word. It was not that it didn't hurt, but that he couldn't cry out for pain and lost face. He pulled out the arrow and threw it aside. The guard quickly applied the wound medicine on the wound, and then wrapped it tightly with the cloth.

Ma Chao was sweating in the pain, but he let out a long breath, secretly glad. The blood was bright red, and there was no poison on the arrow. Although his pants were stained with blood, the area was limited and there was no dizziness at the moment, which meant that there was not much blood loss. Although his thighs were painful, his strength did not decrease, he could still fight on a horse. This was the greatest luck. A battle with more than 100,000 troops on both sides could not be encountered casually. If he was absent due to injuries at the beginning, it would be too weak.

Sun Ce rushed over. Although Ma Chao quickly put his legs armor in his hand and immediately put down his legs armor, the arrows on the legs armor could not hide them from Sun Ce's eyes.

"Injured?"

"Small injury, it's not a problem." Ma Chao deliberately patted his leg armor hard. "This armor is solid and has not been shot through."

Sun Ce glanced and saw the broken arrow on the ground beside him, and his mouth was tilted. Ma Chao was anxious and rushed to Sun Ce with one step, pulling Sun Ce's arm tightly. "General, I'm really fine. I didn't hurt my bones and it doesn't affect riding. Don't take it to heart."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. "Okay, you have a statistic for yourself, don't force it. Have you counted the casualties?"

"Ling Ming is counting." Ma Chao felt uneasy. Although the specific numbers have not yet come out, there will be no fewer casualties. The messengers around him were shot to death. The messengers and flag-holding soldiers are the most important roles in the army, second only to the main general, so they are all around the main general and are protected by the personal guard camp. They are shot to death, which means that the personal guards have suffered a lot of casualties, and there are loopholes in the protection. Ma Chao himself was also hit two arrows, but he has sperm armor on the outside and golden silk brocade armor inside, so he is not seriously injured. The thigh is so severely injured because the golden silk brocade armor only protects the chest and abdomen and cannot protect the thighs.

Sun Ce turned his head and looked at it, feeling very distressed. Although Xie Guanglong came up with the idea of ​​attack, although these knights had very good equipment and combat power, and Ma Chao's command ability was impeccable, the lethality of the powerful crossbow was still too great. At a rough look, at least thirty knights were missing, and the ones who suffered were still indifferent. If Xie Guanglong had not come up with a sneak attack, the casualties would have increased exponentially.

The three-stone crossbow and the four-stone crossbow have too strong close-range lethality. It is almost a god block to kill gods, and a Buddha block to kill Buddhas. No wonder the Han army was able to defeat the Huns to move westward.

The sound of a trumpet sounded again in the distance. Sun Ce followed the sound of a trumpet and looked south. He saw a knight running towards him and only strangled his mount when he came in front of him.

"General, Yuan Tan has led the infantry and cavalry of the personal guards out of the camp. Captain Yan has led the personal guards to meet him."

Sun Ce was surprised and happy. Yuan Tan left the camp? This was a good opportunity to behead. "How many people are there?"

"There are five thousand infantry and cavalrymen, and the number of cavalry is not large, about a thousand."

"I understand, let Master Yan entangle him first, and I will come soon."

"Here." The knight turned his horse's head and rushed away. Sun Ce immediately ordered the knights to get on the horse. Those who were seriously injured stayed, and those who were slightly injured were quick to bandage it. Ma Chao was afraid that Sun Ce would not take him, so he turned over to the horse first. "General, I will take the lead for you."

Sun Ce glared at him and jumped onto the horse. Ma Chao was anxious and begged repeatedly. Sun Ce was both angry and funny, so he had to nod and agree. Ma Chao was very happy and called Pang De loudly. Pang De rushed over, and Ma Chao winked at Pang De. Pang De thought he was in a hurry to know the casualties, so he immediately reported the numbers.

"General, twenty-five people were killed, eleven people seriously injured, and three people slightly injured."

Sun Ce took a breath of air conditioning, it hurt very much. He lost thirty-six people in one battle, which was too cruel. Ma Chao said anxiously: "General, this is how it is to rush to the battlefield. If you have the pretense, the casualties will be much smaller."

Sun Ce glared at his eyes and shouted: "What are you talking about? Where can I get the pretentiousness without money? Kill Yuan Tan for me, strip his underwear, and copy his family's fortune."
