Chapter 170: Sun Ce's Luck
"General Yang, how can this be possible!"
Seeing the movement of the chariots, Yuan Shao could no longer hold back this time. Yang Lin didn't care about the front army that was fighting with Xu Huang at all, and it was obvious that he intended to kill both sides together.
“Those who achieve great things don’t get hung up on small details!”
Yang Lin's casual words left Yuan Shao speechless, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Yang Lin also ignored Yuan Shao. A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. In Yang Lin's eyes, necessary sacrifices were nothing.
Yang Lin didn't care about Yuan Shao's reaction, he just jumped on his horse and returned to the center of the long snake formation. Although the chariots were fierce, they were no longer able to kill the front army. He had to cooperate with the White Horse Volunteers to deliver a thundering blow, so that Guo Hao could be nailed to death on this cruel battlefield.
Looking at Yang Lin's receding back, Yuan Shao felt a lump in his throat.
The key point is, Yang Lin, you should have told me earlier. If you had told me earlier, I would have replaced them with soldiers from other princes. They would die anyway. You have lost all my fortune in this one move!
Yuan Shao trembled as he suppressed his dissatisfaction. He also knew that if he had not placed his own assets in the front army, this battle might not have been able to proceed.
It's just that he was too heartbroken. This was all his family fortune. It had nothing to do with the Yuan family. It was all the fortune he had accumulated bit by bit.
With the destructive power of the chariot, as long as it continues to crash along its current trajectory, there will be basically no chance of any soldiers being left alive.
After all, after being run over by two cows, three horses, and a chariot carrying people, he was lucky not to be turned into meat paste.
Still want to live?
Do you think everyone is a pervert whose internal energy leaves the body?
Yang Lin continued to give orders.
"The cavalry will attack and escort the chariots!"
Zhang He, who had been patient for a long time, brought his White Horse Volunteers to escort the chariots on both wings. This tactic of chariot and cavalry coordination was perfect, and it perfectly solved the hidden danger that the chariots would be killed by cavalry shooting from the flanks.
They even took into account the suppression of the left and right wings. After all, the hastily dispersed soldiers would not be crushed by the chariots, but the crushing of the cavalry was also something that ordinary people could not stop.
The difficulty of coordinated operations between chariots and cavalry was extremely high, which is why chariots were later swept into the dustbin of history. The reason is very simple.
Perfection usually means an extremely high degree of difficulty and extremely demanding configuration requirements. In the event of a tank rushing around recklessly, it will not distinguish between friend and foe. If one fails to control it well, before killing the enemy, it will kill its own people first.
As for chariots , as we all know, no matter how the technology improves, they cannot escape the constraints of wheels.
Once the chariots picked up speed, if they bumped into the ground or tripped, their original direction might change, and the cavalry fighting with them might be killed on the spot.
Speaking of which, Flying Bears are quite suitable for wheelless chariots. Their gravity control is comparable to the magnetic levitation effect, and magnetic levitation chariots are not impossible.
The perfect tactic of chariot and cavalry coordination requires too much, which leads to this unsolvable tactic being shelved.
However, the existence of the White Horse Volunteers perfectly solved part of the problem. The speed at which the chariots soared was almost the same as their usual speed. Even if the chariots got out of control, they could avoid it with their graceful speed, which perfectly solved a major difficulty in the coordinated tactics of chariots and cavalry.
The destructive impact of the chariots and the high speed and flexibility of the Baima Yicong combined their advantages and actually resulted in a situation where the advantages were fully magnified. The infantry battlefield on the front was almost sentenced to death.
"Xu Gongming! Let's stop together and work together to destroy the terrain!" Guan Yu shouted loudly in the direction of Xu Huang.
He originally thought that Yuan Shao was a hero, but now it seems that he is just a shitty hero who does not take human life seriously and can even cruelly abandon his own soldiers. Guan Yu wished he could chop off Yuan Shao's head and feed it to the dogs.
Except for Ji Ling, the other generals had more or less been informed by their lords that they were going to rebel. After hearing Guan Yu's words, they did not refute, but started to prepare for the legion attack together with Guan Yu.
They didn't want to die either, but the beast Yuan Shao actually wanted to sacrifice them all together. He was simply not a son of heaven.
Ji Ling followed silently. His lord was Yuan Shu, and he was unwilling to die for Yuan Shao.
Xu Huang already had a psychological trauma towards Guan Yu, and he was also very anxious when he saw the chariots coming at him aggressively, so he subconsciously followed Guan Yu's advice.
Soon, several huge legion attacks slashed towards the direction of the chariot's charge. Zhang He sneered and mobilized the clouds to block the legion's attack, but in the end a part of the power was released on the earth. The originally flat and wide battlefield instantly became full of gullies.
The chariot had no way to avoid the unstoppable attack and could only continue speeding at high speed.
Guan Yu and others did not dare to stop at all. Just looking at the might of the charging chariots made them scared to death, so how could they dare to be negligent?
The legion launched an attack recklessly. Although most of it was blocked by Zhang He's mobilization of cloud energy, the chariots and the terrain directly surrounding the melee battlefield were mostly destroyed.
The moment the chariot sped over the ravine, most of the chariots were in trouble. The oxen and horses pulling the chariot sprained their feet due to the complex terrain and fell heavily to the ground.
The powerful impact brought by the sudden movement and then stopping caused the chariot without a safety belt to fly out directly. By the time the frame was smashed to the ground, the soldiers on the battlefield could no longer tell who was who.
The destruction of the leading chariot led to a large-scale chain of car accidents in the chariot corps. Once a car accident between chariots occurred, all the soldiers on the chariots were killed instantly. Even some of the White Horse Volunteers were swept up and killed on the spot. This shows the horror of car accidents.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhang He quickly led his White Horse Volunteers to make a beautiful arc, avoiding the front battlefield and going around to the left wing.
However, a chariot is still a chariot, even if Guan Yu and others responded very promptly.
After all, there were chariots that survived. No matter how strong or talented the soldiers who blocked the chariots were, they were all knocked away and crushed, with blood splattering everywhere. In addition, any living creature caught in the process basically could not escape death.
"What a terrible impact!" Xu Huang and others looked palely at the chariot that was stopped by the soldiers at the cost of their lives.
Only a few hundred tanks survived and rushed into the crowd, but the carnage they caused was unparalleled.
In just one minute, no less than three thousand soldiers died, all of them were killed by the chariots or even the residual power.
The efficient killing efficiency made the soldiers on both sides lose their will to fight, and the soldiers in Yuan Shao's army were particularly devastated. They couldn't believe that they were betrayed by their lord.
"I am ready to fight to the death, why did you rebel, lord?"
The collapsed soldiers of Yuan Shao simply gave up resistance under the leadership of their respective generals. Exhausted and physically exhausted, they completely lost the will to fight.
More than 10,000 surrendered soldiers successfully tied down Xu Huang's vanguard, and Xu Huang's vanguard had almost lost its will to fight.
The chariot that seemed like a natural disaster made them dazed and stunned, unable to react at all.
"Go straight to Huanglong!"
Yang Lin's long snake formation emphasized marching speed. Although the collapse of the chariot caught Yang Lin off guard, the surrendered soldiers also achieved the same goal. They successfully slowed down Xu Huang's central army.
Even if Xu Huang started killing prisoners, he would not be able to reorganize his army for a while, so the threat to him was not very big.
…
Yang Lin's behavior completely angered Liu Bei and others. Yang Lin was simply exchanging the lives of their subordinates for victory.
"Yuan Benchu, you are looking for death! Yuan Zhi, act quickly!"
Liu Bei shouted loudly, then drew out his double-edged sword and rushed towards Yuan Shao. His two sworn brothers were still in the front army.
Xu Shu turned his hand to signal the sky, and then followed Liu Bei to kill Yuan Shao.
"Get started!"
Liu Bei's action was like lighting an explosive barrel. Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Gongsun Zan also shouted at the same time.
Sun Jian, Xu Chu and Gongsun Zan tacitly attacked Gao Chong. Even if they couldn't defeat Gao Chong, they had to stop him. Anyway, Yuan Shao could never defeat Liu Bei.
Cao Cao also drew out his sword and rushed towards the guards. After all, he had a lot of internal energy, so he could still defeat the soldiers.
On the other side, Liu Dai, knowing that he was not strong enough in fighting, ran over with his weapon to hold Ju Su hostage.
Poor Liu Dai had no outstanding civil officials under his command, and he had no idea what would happen if he rashly approached a Wen Chou.
Ju Shou merely mobilized his surging mental power and directly knocked Liu Dai over. Judging from the extent of his mental damage, he would be a vegetable even if he was revived.
Tian Feng anxiously stood in front of Yuan Shao, intending to use his mental power to knock Liu Bei down.
How could Xu Shu standing by give him this opportunity? The two men's mental powers collided in the air, and blood gushed out of both of their seven orifices. They could only collapse on the ground.
"Gao Chong, save me!" Yuan Shao cried out in pain. He was hit on the thigh by Liu Bei's sword. He had never suffered such an injury before.
Gao Chong was anxious, but he could not break through the joint suppression of Sun Jian and the other two.
Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan are fine, even if they join forces he can defeat them in twenty moves.
What really stopped him from moving forward was Xu Chu who was standing in front of him. He had never seen such a strong guy in his life. He was more than eight feet tall, with a waist that was ten times bigger than his waist. Just standing in front of him, he felt like there was a wall blocking him.
If he played steadily and cautiously under normal circumstances, he was confident that he could defeat Xu Chu in just two or three hundred moves, but he didn't have the time now.
Xu Chu took advantage of Gao Chong's distraction and used every move to cost Gao Chong's life. It was obvious that he was bullying Gao Chong because he had no time.
"Get out of my way!" Gao Chong went crazy when he saw that Yuan Shao was in increasing danger .
Gao Chong took Xu Chu's sword attack head-on and wielded the gilded tiger-head spear to hit Xu Chu hard, causing Xu Chu to fly out of the command platform and no one knew where he fell.
Afterwards, Gao Chong took a heavy blow from Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan, and then rushed straight to Yuan Shao and defeated Liu Bei.
Yuan Shao's guards also seized the opportunity, gathered around Yuan Shao and tightly protected him in the center.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Liu Bei and his companions just slipped away with a glance. Gao Chong, concerned about Xu Chu who had fallen to an unknown place, did not dare to leave Yuan Shao's vicinity and could only watch Liu Bei and his companions slip away.
Yuan Shao wanted to let Gao Chong chase him out, but seeing the blood flowing from the wounds on Gao Chong's body, he could only give up in hatred.
He didn't expect that Cao Cao would actually rebel, but when he agreed to Guo Tu's suggestion, he actually already had some guesses in his heart, but he just wasn't willing to face it.
Chen Dao and Cao Hong in the camp saw the signal and knew the time had come, and they immediately started to act. In addition to Chunyu Qiong, Yuan Shao also left some small leaders who needed to be dealt with.
Just as Xun You's spiritual talent was failing, Chunyu Qiong remembered Sun Ce, the guy who had fought with Ma Chao.
Chunyu Qiong knew that he could not defeat Sun Ce, so he ran away and planned to report the news to Yuan Shao.
He was just an internal Qi gang, so even if Sun Ce asked him to use both hands and feet, he would not be a match for him.
Sun Ce scratched his neck somewhat unhappily. This was the aftereffect of being beaten by Dian Wei. His body had obviously recovered long ago, but he still couldn't help scratching his neck.
"Gongjin, what should we do next ?" Sun Ce turned to ask his external brain without any intention of thinking.
"Take over the camp. Although the leader is wise and brave, the general has a huge advantage. Even if we lose again, we can make a comeback." Zhou Yu was full of regret.
In this life, Yuan Shao never had a smooth sailing in big scenes from beginning to end. Even Zhou Yu, who was arrogant and thought that everyone in the world was a fool, couldn't help but praise Yuan Shao's wisdom and bravery.
Since Yuan was born, why was Guo born?
The gap is too big. Yuan Shao has aristocratic families behind him, but the aristocratic families can unite for a short period of time. Can they unite for a long time?
But Guo Hao is different. Guo Hao can afford to lose, but Yuan Shao cannot.
Or it could be said that it was not Yuan Shao who could not afford to lose, but the aristocratic families who could not afford to lose.
If they lose this battle, the aristocratic families will inevitably turn to Guo Hao. Dependence on the strongest is almost the only rule for the survival of the aristocratic families.
They would not risk their own family business for others, and now the aristocratic families are in a difficult situation.
They have invested too much in the coalition forces. Once they fail, let alone anything else, the current head of the family will definitely abdicate. A head of the family who cannot lead the family forward will not be recognized.
"Let's go, hundreds of thousands of troops are not that easy to take over!"
Sun Ce scratched his neck and followed Zhou Yu's steps. He had experience in recruiting people. Wherever he went to fight, there would be people to surrender. He had rich experience in this regard.
"Gongjin, you are wrong. It's not difficult at all!"
Sure enough, before Sun Ce had walked out of the camp for a quarter of an hour, several young generals came to pay their respects to Sun Ce and expressed their willingness to serve him as their lord.
"Hahahaha, Gongjin, see, I told you it's not difficult at all!" Sun Ce laughed and patted Zhou Yu's shoulder.
He was very familiar with this process. After he went through all these steps, there were enough people to take over the camp. To be honest, he himself didn't understand why.
Zhou Yu glanced up at the sky vaguely. He guessed the reason, but he was too lazy to explain it to Sun Ce.
As for Sun Ce, he just needs to be his mascot. Other high-level matters can be left to Zhou Gongjin.
Nanhua and Zuo Ci couldn't help but sigh when they saw Zhou Yu's hidden look. Smart people are scary. They didn't do anything, but their whereabouts were guessed by others.
"What should we do? Zhou Gongjin seems to know something. Should we inform him?"
Nanhua said with some distress that he took Li Yuanba to Hulao Pass to eat and drink, and then he sensed that Zuo Ci was nearby and came over to meet him.
"There's no need to be careful not to alert the enemy. I underestimated Yu Ji. The backup plan I left on my apprentice was removed long ago. But fortunately I found Yu Ji's target." Zuo Ci shook his head and looked in the direction of Sun Ce.
On the other side, Yu Ji and others who were mixed in with the allied soldiers were a little depressed. They had obviously pushed Sun Ce's luck to the limit. Logically speaking, Sun Ce should have started to have bad luck a long time ago. How come this guy Sun Ce could still recruit followers every day?
"Could it be that this guy's luck is infinite?" Zuo Ci's apprentice was a little crazy. He felt like he might have been on a pirate ship.
"I don't know. This period of good fortune will eventually come to an end. I guess today is the final deadline. With so many soldiers eating it, he will be in bad luck even if he is the son of heaven and earth!" Yu Ji was very calm. He had plenty of time to waste with Sun Ce.
Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Ce all have good luck, so in comparison he can only cause trouble for Sun Ce.
Guan Yu was by Liu Bei's side, so even if he brought Nanhua and Zuo Ci along, they would still not be enough to defeat Guan Yu alone.
For divine cultivators, especially those like Guan Yu who are capable of the finishing touch, killing immortals like them is like a piece of cake.
As for Cao Cao, it was even more outrageous. He had a brave general like Xu Chu guarding the door for him. Yu Ji had never seen such an extravagant person.
All in all, Sun Ce was the only soft persimmon. Even so, Yu Ji had gathered a large number of immortals to help him, for fear that Sun Ce would explode and turn the tables.
After Sun Ce really accepted the entire camp of the coalition forces, his luck finally reached its limit. More than 700,000 soldiers were all under his control. Even a lucky guy like Sun Ce couldn't help but fall into a trough.
"It should be coming!" Zhou Yu thought with his eyes narrowed, and secretly began to prepare for the legion's attack.
"Sun Bofu, it's time to pay back your debt!" Yu Ji appeared with a group of people, smiling.
Then Zhou Yu, without saying anything, directly sent eighteen legions to attack the group of people who suddenly appeared.
"Who are these people? What are you doing, Gongjin?" Sun Ce said with a cute look on his face. He thought Yu Ji and the others were also here to join him.
"Bofu, have you been particularly lucky recently, better than before?" Zhou Yu asked calmly.
"Yes, look at the army we just recovered. I didn't have so many people before!" Sun Ce said happily. He was also a man who commanded millions of soldiers.
"Just kill them!" Zhou Yu gave up arguing with Sun Ce and warned seriously.
Sun Ce scratched his neck, not quite understanding, but he believed in Zhou Yu unconditionally. He quickly entered combat mode and looked vigilantly in the direction of Yu Ji and others.
Zhou Yu had felt something was wrong a long time ago. He had noticed it when Sun Ce was lucky in the past. He secretly read a lot of classics and taught himself some miscellaneous knowledge such as physiognomy. Naturally, he understood the twists and turns of it.
Although Zhou Yu didn't know who had evil intentions, he was very sure that his opponent was definitely an immortal.
If the temptation of a million strong soldiers had not been too great, he would have found someone to solve Sun Ce's problem long ago.
