Using infantry to tear apart the defense and using cavalry to raid are common tactics for infantry and cavalry cooperation. Since it is cooperation, it cannot only look at the combat effectiveness of infantry or cavalry, but also depends on whether they cooperate tacitly. Only when the infantry is strong enough to tear apart the defense line quickly, and the cavalry can seize the opportunity and break into the formation as soon as possible, can the impact of the cavalry be greatly exerted.

Without formation protection, the infantry fighting alone cannot resist the impact of the cavalry. Whether it is a spear or a sword slash, condescending knights have obvious advantages, and even no need for the speed of the war horse, unless the war horse completely loses its speed.

The best way to deal with cavalry impact is of course a strong bow and hard crossbow, coupled with shields and spears to protect it. This requires formation of a formation, and formation requires space and time. Jiang Qi was in front of him, and there was a position for fighting. There were people and weapons everywhere, and there was no space at all. The time for formation was originally longer than usual, and Sun Ce's attack was particularly fast, so the time for him to leave was far less than that.

This is also the reason why Zhang Kai spared no effort to block Chen Dao and Zhang Fei. From the breakthrough of his position, Sun Ce had the obligation to buy time for Jiang Qi to set up a formation. But he obviously overestimated his ability. In front of Zhang Fei and Chen Dao, the time he could get was really limited.

The two horses intersected, Zhang Fei took the lead, and a spear swung Zhang Kai's long sword and pierced Zhang Kai's body.

Zhang Kai flew up from the horse's back, flew more than ten steps away like a cloud and fog, hitting a knight. The two fell to the ground together, and were then trampled on by the war horse and screamed to death.

Zhang Fei succeeded with one blow, and was full of energy. He danced with both hands and picked several cavalry in one breath, breaking through the blockade of Zhang Kai and the knights of his personal guards like the wind, and appeared in front of Jiang Qi for fifty steps.

At this time, Jiang Qi's personal guard camp had just arrived at the position and had not had time to line up.

Looking at the scattered infantry formation, Zhang Fei knew that the opportunity was rare, so he shouted loudly: "Zhang Fei is here, who dares to fight?" With a roar, he drove in and stabbed the spear continuously, killing two opponents who rushed up to try to intercept, and shaking their spears, and lifting them away one by one.

Zhang Fei's voice was very loud and his combat power was amazing, which shocked Jiang Qi's personal guard camp. Many people felt chill and their feet were unnaturally slowed down a little. Even Jiang Qi, who was fifty steps away, was startled by him and asked his left and right: "Who is Zhang Fei, who is so brave?"

The personal guard Qin Hong cursed. "General, I recognize this person. He is Liu Bei's subordinate. He just surrendered to Sun Ce with Liu Bei. He must have come to kill the general and seek credit from Sun Ce. The despicable man is the most shameless."

Jiang Qi also remembered that Liu Bei had two warriors around him, one named Guan Yu and the other named Zhang Fei. When he saw him today, he was indeed well-known. Unfortunately, he became Sun Ce's subordinate. He wanted to break his battle formation and might even take his life. Seeing Zhang Fei rushing in, killing more than ten people in one breath, and in the blink of an eye, he was a little panicked.

"Stop him!"

"Yes!" The personal guard Qin Hong replied loudly, rode his horse forward, and rushed towards Zhang Fei with his spear. "Traitor, come and die!"

Zhang Fei looked up and was furious. After Liu Bei changed the sect several times, the most taboo thing he was to be called a traitor. Without saying a word, he kicked the war horse hard and met Qin Hong. The two spears intersected. Zhang Fei knocked away Qin Hong's spear and stabbed Qin Hong with the momentum.

Although Chen Dao and others were not as powerful as Zhang Fei, their lethality was not weak at all. They rode their horses and quickly approached Jiang Qi. Although Jiang Qi's personal guards charged forward at all costs, they still could not stop their assault. They watched them kill to Jiang Qi, and dozens of knights rushed up were all dismissed, with heavy casualties.

The situation changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Qi was facing a life-and-death crisis. He wanted to hold on for a while, but his personal guards did not have such courage. If Jiang Qi died, they would all have to behead them according to military law. They ignored Jiang Qi's opposition and snatched the reins from Jiang Qi's hand and turned around and ran away. Fortunately, they reacted in time. Just a moment later, Zhang Fei killed Jiang Qi and stabbed him with a spear. The tip of the spear was only two feet away from Jiang Qi's back heart.

Opportunities were fleeting. Seeing that Jiang Qi was in danger, the knights of the personal guards rushed up desperately, and the swords and spears were falling down, and greeted Zhang Fei. While kicking the war horses hard and maintaining speed, Zhang Fei waved the spear and stabbed left and right, killing several people one after another, but he could no longer keep up with Jiang Qi. Under the protection of several knights, Jiang Qi rushed to the back camp in panic. Zhang Fei was so angry that he rode his horse and wanted to chase him. Chen Dao rushed to his side and shouted: "Zhang Yide, keep the speed and pursue him in a detour!"

Zhang Fei woke up in shock, temporarily abandoned Jiang Qi, rushed forward side by side with Chen Dao, quickly broke through the blockade of Jiang Qi's personal guard camp, circled around, accelerated, and chased Jiang Qi. Jiang Qi's personal guard knights were not many, and most of them were killed in the formation. The rest were mainly infantrymen. Although they tried their best to chase, they could not keep up with Bai Lishi's speed and screamed in a hurry.

"God go quickly, general go quickly!"

Hearing the screams behind him and the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, Jiang Qi turned around and saw that Zhang Fei and others had already killed their formation and rushed over again. He couldn't help but sigh. The difference was a slight mistake and a thousand miles of loss. I finally failed to seize this opportunity. The initiative has been lost and it is inevitable that I will defeat him. Now I can only hope that Yuan Tan can arrive in time and turn the tide.

"Beat the drum, raise the two rabbit flags, and ask for help!" Jiang Qi ordered while galloping.

The drummer beside him quickly beat the small drum, the flag bearer raised the double rabbit flag, and asked the back army for help.

The sound of war drums sounded, and Xin Pi, who was commanding the Min Ji in the back formation to prepare breakfast, turned around and saw it, and was shocked. He knew that there was a battle ahead, which was expected, but he did not expect that the winner would be decided so quickly. Not only did the opponent's more than a hundred cavalry break into the formation, but he also chased Jiang Qi without even a chance to turn around. How could this happen? Are these cavalry fighting power so strong? Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong may not be able to do it. Or was it because Jiang Qi made a mistake in command and was afraid before the battle?

Xinpi burst into cold sweat. While running towards the central army and taking over Jiang Qi's command, he ordered people to ask Yuan Tan for help. Jiang Qi was about to collapse and asked Yuan Tan to come and support as soon as possible to stabilize the situation.

The knight ran away.

On the hillside, Sun Ce raised his eyebrows, raised his hand, blocked his forehead, and looked at the horizon.

Under the rising sun, there was a faint creek of smoke and dust on the horizon. A knight rushed along the official road, bypassed Jiang Qi's position, rushed to the hillside, raised the colorful flag in his hand, and danced hard.

Sun Ce smiled and said, "Yuan Tan is here."

Liu Bei also stood up, narrowed his eyes, looked at the distance, and looked at Zhang Fei and others who were chasing Jiang Qi. "General, since Yuan Tan has arrived, the troops are disparity, let's break through. Jiang Qi has been defeated by the general and has no time to take care of himself. Now it is a good opportunity to break through. If it is too late, it will be too late."

Sun Ce turned to look at Liu Bei and couldn't help laughing. "Do you have only one thought in your mind, always thinking about running away? Such a good opportunity, I spent the middle of the night waiting for you. You let me break through?"

Liu Bei blushed and said embarrassedly: "General... are waiting for Yuan Tan?"
