The Battle of Sanshiwan was not a battle that was carefully planned by both sides for a long time, but a battle derived from the changes in the weather. Although both sides planned and deduced as much as possible, there were still many mistakes. After all, no one was the demonized Pig Brother, and everything was completely decided.

If Zhang Chen said that if he did not receive the temptation from Xiahou Dun, but led his troops to disturb the periphery, he would not be able to chase Xiahou Dun, nor would he not be able to chase him, he would not be able to be defeated or killed. But the problem is that when his mind gets hot, not everyone can make the most correct actions clearly...

Similarly, Zhang Liao also made mistakes. He miscalculated the impact of the water flow on the war horses. After getting into the Yingshui River, he realized that the speed of crossing the river was not as fast as originally thought!

Zhang Liao himself is familiar with the earth. He can even calculate how many miles he can run and how much strength the war horse can still be left. However, Zhang Liao may not have much deep understanding of the river, so when crossing the river, mistakes are inevitable.

Xiahou Dun also made a mistake in this regard. Xiahou’s biggest problem was that he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the cavalry and horses. Even though he had already measured it according to high standards and strict requirements, when the soldiers fought against each other, his subordinates were still a little worse, resulting in Zhang Chen almost knocking down the flag under the impact of Zhang Chen’s decisive death!

Although the final result was that Xiahou Dun won the bet, his life was hanging on the line! If the flag was shaken and the morale of the entire army was frustrated, it would be irreversible! And in the battle on the south bank of the Yingshui River, Xiahou soldiers were gradually oppressed by Zhang Liao's troops, giving up a lot of territory...

Although both sides have some problems, both sides still have confidence and feel that they are still the ones who won the battle at the end.

After all, it is impossible to make no mistakes in a war. The competition is just about who is more wrong and who is less.

Now, Zhang Liao, who was standing on the south bank of Yingshui, showed his martial arts, still shocked Xiahou Dun, who was rushing to the sky, and even looked at his flag with lingering fear. If the one who had attacked his troops before was replaced by such a general, it would probably be...

Xiahou Dun was familiar with the battlefield in Yingchuan, so he naturally chose the places he chose. You can see the entire Yingshui River from a high place. The discharged formations are also arranged according to the river bank. At the same time, there is also the semi-finished horse pit dug yesterday, which creates an approximately gourd-shaped shape on the south bank of Yingshui. The node between the two sides is the waist of the gourd.

Xiahou Dun's evaluation of the cavalry and horses was already above the point, but when he really saw Zhang Liao's subordinates attacking, the combat effectiveness he showed still made Xiahou Dun feel extremely heavy pressure.

Pure riders such as Cavalry and Horse can even cooperate with their comrades in a short distance and start to hit in turn! If they hit the front, they will pull the flanks as much as possible to give out subtle space. Then there will be the next row. Even if there are only two or three cavalrymen, they can still attack like a cavalry that has formed a battle formation, which makes Xiahou Dun's infantry line twist and crooked. If it weren't for the limited contact surface, they would have been defeated long ago.

"Luckily, fortunately... It's a pity, it's a pity..." Xiahou Dun couldn't help but murmur.

Fortunately, the sky gave a heavy rain pitifully, making the mountains, rivers and rivers called their own help, successfully blocking these cavalry and horses here, forming a local advantage. Otherwise, if they really encountered these cavalry and horses in the wilderness as usual, Xiahou Dun could even imagine how tragic it would be!

Of course, there is also a pity that it is still raining. After a few rounds of bows and arrows in the early stages, both the cavalry and the archers basically lost their long-range strike ability, which also reduced a lot of lethality. But then again, if it weren't for the rain, they wouldn't be able to block these cavalry, so it can only be said that there is nothing in the world that has the best of both worlds.

Seeing Zhang Liao and his men and women oppressing his soldiers' front, Xiahou Dun said in a deep voice: "Attack Jin! Mingduo! Adjust the left wing to advance forward and attack sideways!"

It is naturally impossible to beat the drum on rainy days. There was no waterproof plastic drum surface in the Han Dynasty. The leather relaxed after water inlet and lost its elasticity. If it hit hard, it would naturally have only one end. However, in addition to the six drums, namely thunder drum, spiritual drum, road drum, urin drum, urin drum, and Jin drum, there are four golds, namely hut, bracelet, urin drum, and zhun drum, which can also be used as instructions.

The flag is not unusable, but it is basically half of it was scrapped on rainy days. After all, the flag cannot be shaken open, and it is not easy to identify in the rain and fog.

At this moment, the sound of violent collisions and shouts of killing continued. Behind Zhang Liao, there were also Hussar soldiers, one after another, following Zhang Liao's footsteps and collided into the infantry formation of Xiahou soldiers!

Even the fallen cavalry, as long as they were still breathing, struggled to turn over in the mud and water. No matter whether there were weapons on their hands or wounds on their bodies, they still rushed forward!

Under the cavalry, there is no one who sells his face to survive!

The strong and strong male aura cultivated from the battles of the south and north is like refined steel, tough and tough!

Countless arms were waving, and everyone in their vision seemed to be desperately trying to use the weapons in their hands to defeat the lives of the same kind on the other side. Even though they had never seen them before, had never had any intersections, and there was never hatred...

As a sharp knife, Zhang Liao rushed in the front line. Under the spear, blood splattered everywhere. Even the Xiahou sword and shield hands, wearing heavy armor, could not stop Zhang Liao's breaking, and fell one after another under Zhang Liao's spear!

The soldiers under Xiahou Dun were not the county garrisons who were temporarily transferred, but followed Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun to conquer Xuzhou in the east and defeated Yuan Shu in the south. They also exuded blood and resisted tightly in front of the powerful cavalry and horses! However, the gap between the soldiers was still relatively obvious. Although Xiahou Dun tried his best to deploy the soldiers, he still gradually showed a decadent state. Moreover, with Zhang Liao's further oppression, the gap in the entire Xiahou Dun battle formation appeared, and it was constantly expanding...

Zhang Liao bounced up against the ground like a python flying into the air from the ground. He bypassed the shield of the sword and shield hand and directly sank into the shoulder blade of a Xiahou infantry. For a moment, bones and blood splattered!

Zhang Liao was about to draw the gun, but I don’t know if it was because the muzzle was stuck on the broken bone, or because there was too much blood and rain on the barrel of his gun, or the Xiahou soldier grabbed Zhang Liao’s gun handle before his death, but he really couldn’t pull it at this moment!

When they saw Zhang Liao's flaws, Xiahou soldiers who were exposed to their flaws, they also howled and rushed up. For a moment, they didn't know how many spears, and a few swords were chopped on Zhang Liao's head!

Seeing that Zhang Liao couldn't get it back for a moment, he did not fight to the gun handle. Instead, he grabbed it with his backhand and pulled out a short iron halberd from behind his shoulder. The sharp crescent moon easily broke through the rain and fog, like lightning, and twisted several long spears and short swords, along with a head and a broken limb, flying high in the bloody rain!

According to some later generations, Zhang Liao's main weapon was a long spear, and his secondary weapon had three. In addition to the two short iron halberds inserted diagonally on his shoulders, there were also swords that were refined and refined at the waist, plus the elite armor, which could be said to be really inhumane!

Zhang Liao took advantage of the gap and kicked over the body of the Xiahou soldier who was still holding his spear until his death, and then shot and halberds, and immediately swept out a huge gap!

For a time, more Zhang Liao's subordinates climbed to the south bank, oppressing Xiahou Dun's formation almost collapsed!

『Reinforcements! Reinforcements are here!』

As the saying goes, blessings come unparalleled, but misfortunes never come alone. Just when Zhang Liao and others wanted to expand their results and break through the interception of Xiahou soldiers, unexpected changes were like oncoming ice and snow. Even Zhang Liao himself suffered a heavy blow in morale and psychological state!

Xiahou Dun's reinforcements actually arrived here in time from Yangdi...

For Xiahou soldiers, it was naturally like a shot of stimulant, shouting wildly, and then they seemed to have reinstated their strength. They launched a fierce attack on Zhang Liao and others who had already stood on the south bank, as if they were about to push Zhang Liao and others back into the Yingshui River!

Return?

How could it be possible to return it?!

However, facing the new force coming from Yangdi, Zhang Liao became a little tricky. On rainy days, supply and fire were all very difficult, and even the physical strength of the war horses and soldiers was consumed more and more than usual. Now if the attack fails and is forced to retreat, it is not only a problem of losing troops and losing generals, but also affecting the morale of the entire army!

But the problem is that if you don’t retreat, you may face more serious consequences. After all, for so long since the beginning, even Zhang Liao himself was a little breathing and exhausted, and the general soldiers might be even more serious. If you are surrounded by the newly joined Cao army...

If you advance, you cannot advance, you cannot retreat, and you cannot retreat, and Zhang Liao was completely trapped in a passive state.

In comparison, Xiahou Dun seemed to have taken a reassurance pill, and seemed much more calm. He even began to withdraw some of the exhausted soldiers in the front according to batches, replaced them with newly arrived Yangdi soldiers, and continued to oppress Zhang Liao and others.

"This battle will definitely win!"

Xiahou Dun even issued a declaration of victory in advance.

For Xiahou Dun, even for the entire Cao Cao's foundation, it is of great significance to win this battle. It not only actually kills and kills the cavalry, but also psychologically establishes a belief that it is not invincible for ordinary Cao soldiers. This will undoubtedly be a great help to future confrontations.

This is also the reason why Xiahou Dun would rather take risks than seek a chance to confront Zhang Liao head-on. Judging from the current situation, Xiahou Dun's choice is undoubtedly correct, and he is about to get a sweet result. This naturally made Xiahou Dun feel that so many days of planning and efforts were not in vain, and he was very comforted.

Yingshui no longer looks like a river, but more like the water of the yellow spring that devours life. The place where Sanshiwan is less than a hundred steps wide is like the bloody mouth of the demon Zhang Da, with flesh and blood limbs everywhere. Some corpses are stuck in a row by weapons and armor, and more corpses float down the Yingshui, dyeing all the old long sections from Sanshiwan to the downstream, like a bloody wound suddenly spreading down the earth.

It was precisely because of the corpses and bloodstains downstream that the Cao army soldiers who came from Yangdi were reminded that these Cao army did not care about any arrays and formations. They rushed here and happened to block Zhang Liao's hope of breaking through the Xiahou array.

Both sides started a tug-of-war on the south bank of Yingshui. The original horse pit was almost filled with corpses, and countless feet were trampled in the mud and water. The drizzle could not wash away the yellow mud stained by the soldiers on both sides. Instead, it made the two sides unified to a certain extent. No one could tell the other side's face, but knew that if the clay man on the opposite side was not allowed to lie down, the next one would be himself lying in the mud and water...

The spear in Zhang Liao's hand was like a monster python, pricking up and down, slashing left and right. Almost no Xiahou soldier could withstand a turn in front of him, but not all Hussar soldiers had superb martial arts like Zhang Liao. After both physical strength and endurance were reduced below the red line, even if they had excellent armor and sharp swords on their bodies, they would still be pierced by the spear, chopped over by the sword, and then trampled into the mud and water, and merged with the earth.

Every soldier faced death directly. What was flying in front of him was the opponent's weapons stained with mud and blood. What was floating in the air was not only rain and fog, but also flesh and blood. What was trampling on him was not only the opponent's corpse, but also his comrades in the previous moment and the next moment.

The Xiahou soldiers in front of Zhang Liao were becoming more and more dense, more fierce, and more irrational. These guys were like puppets who had lost consciousness, or human-shaped beasts with only animal desires. They were more like gamblers who had red eyes on the gambling table, cutting off their own lives and even holding their arms and betting them on the table. They rushed up wildly, desperately, even if they died one by one, they still pounced up one by one!

This almost suicidal interception finally slowed down Zhang Liao and others' breakthrough pace, and even was suppressed in some places and gradually began to shrink inward...

The reinforcements coming from Yangdi seemed to have stuck several patches on the water bag that had gradually exposed the gap in Xiahou Dun, curbing the impact of Zhang Liao and others, and then converting the pressure back to Zhang Liao.

At this moment, the casualties of soldiers under Zhang Liao suddenly increased dramatically!

『Follow me! Go west! Go west!

Zhang Liao roared hard, and then led his men to the west with difficulty.

To the east are the Yangdi soldiers coming, so there is only one direction left to the west!

Xiahou Dun naturally understood this, so while he asked the Yangdi soldiers to cut off Zhang Liao's subsequent troops to cross the river, he also desperately sent soldiers to intercept them, trying to trap Zhang Liao on the south bank, and then slap them bit by bit, and finally eat them!
