Chapter 608

This time, Sun Quan had eighty thousand soldiers, including Le Jin, claiming to have one hundred and twenty thousand.

He was quite confident in defeating Liu Bei,

"Three against one and I can't win? How is that possible?"

Sun Quan gritted his teeth; this round-faced general Xing Daorong, he must kill him!

Zhuge Jin cupped his hands,

"My lord, don't get into a verbal dispute with them; just use regular troops to defeat them!"

Sun Quan nodded,

"Good! Send the troops according to the original plan!"

"Woo~roo~"

War drums suddenly sounded, and horns blared.

Sun Quan's army marched with neat steps toward Liu Bei's army!

"Kill!"

The three of Liu Bei turned their horses back to the army formation,

The soldiers began to prepare to meet the enemy,

Wei Yan led six thousand troops against Le Jin's twenty thousand!

Taishi Ci also led six thousand troops to face the Lujiang elite led by Chen Wu and Dong Xi,

Liu Bei, Chen Dao, and others led nine thousand men to deal with Sun Quan's thirty thousand center army!

Sun Quan also had ten thousand soldiers guarding him.

Both sides first exchanged a few waves of arrow rain,

Arrows fell like rain,

The sky seemed to be covered by arrows, a black mass.

Both sides had many soldiers hit by arrows, screaming and wailing,

Liu Bei's three-shot crossbows were naturally superior to Sun Quan's, causing twice the casualties on the other side!

The horn on Sun Quan's side sounded more urgently, and the soldiers in the front row held shields and charged toward this side regardless of their lives.

Soon, both sides engaged in close combat, colliding head-on!

The soldiers' shouts,

The intense sound of weapons clashing,

War horses neighing!

The screams of dying soldiers were intertwined,

Both sides seemed to have entered a life-and-death struggle from the beginning; there could only be one winner on this battlefield, and the losing side would only suffer a crushing defeat!

Sun Quan looked at the scene of the fighting ahead, feeling the elite nature of Liu Bei's soldiers and the excellence of their armor and weapons,

"Our army is three times his, yet we are still fighting to a draw..."

Zhang Zhao, Zhuge Jin, and other strategists also frowned, but thought in their hearts,

"This is the vast majority of our Jiangdong's combat power, and Liu Bei only brought twenty-five thousand troops. He still has hundreds of thousands of troops; how can our army block him?"

Sun Quan seemed to notice the thoughts of these people and laughed,

"As long as our army defeats Liu Bei in this battle, his prestige will be damaged, and the warlords who do not submit to him will crusade against him together; Liu Bei will surely fail!"

The battlefield gradually fell into a stalemate. Although Liu Bei's soldiers were brave, fighting one against three was very difficult to win.

Everything was developing in the direction of Sun Quan's expectations: consuming Liu Bei's strength, slowly nibbling away, so that even if Liu Bei didn't suffer a crushing defeat, he could only run away with his cavalry.

Defeating Liu Bei would greatly increase his prestige, and no one in Yangzhou would dare to question him again.

Sun Quan was still imagining the future.

Suddenly, on the side of the battlefield,

The sound of hooves like dense drums suddenly sounded,

Sun Quan looked and saw three cavalry units, each about a thousand men, bypassing the battlefield and charging toward his center army!

"Three thousand men want to impact my ten-thousand-strong center army? Is this Liu Bei's killing move?"

"Order Sun Shao, Pan Zhang, and Ma Zhong to meet them!"

"Yes!"

Soon,

Six thousand soldiers on Sun Quan's side met them!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Liu Bei's cavalry quickly took the crossbows from their backs and fired all three bolts,

Sun Quan's soldiers were caught off guard and were shot down in large numbers, creating several gaps.

The hooves shook urgently, and the horns sounded urgently,

Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Zhang Liao's three cavalry units formed a wedge formation and plunged into the gaps!

With a boom,

Sun Quan's soldiers' entire formation seemed to be shaken,

These three cavalry units were exceptionally elite, charging all the way with full impact!

Zhang Fei roared, his Serpent Spear flying up and down; wherever he passed, people and horses flipped, and no one was his enemy.

Pan Zhang went up to block, but was beaten until he vomited blood by Zhang Fei in a few moves; fortunately, his guards protected him with their lives!

Ma Zhong was hidden in the army, nocked an arrow, and fired at Zhang Fei!

This guy was cunning and known as the terminator of great generals,

Historically, he set an ambush to capture Guan Yu and also injured Huang Zhong with a hidden arrow; his archery was also excellent.

Zhang Fei was enjoying the slaughter and had good hearing; hearing the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, he hurriedly leaned to the side,

The arrow did not hit a vital spot but struck Zhang Fei's shoulder!
