This is not the first time Zhang Liao used the chevaux de frise. Last time, in Jiangling City, Xuzhou, he used it once when he resisted the 130,000 troops led by Zhou Yu in attacking the city with 10,000 men.

The quality of the long spears he asked for from Gu Rubing last time was uneven, and they were all temporarily put together by Gu Rubing. Even so, Zhang Liao still relied on these long spears to block the opponent's strongest cavalry offensive, and finally successfully waited for Zhang He's support. He was also promoted to a famous general in that battle.

This time, he got more than 300 fine iron long spears that Sun Jian had collected with great effort, and then he found such a place that was suitable for using the chevaux de frise. Although he cut off his retreat, when did Zhang Liao, a general who fought to the death, leave himself a way out?

This was the case last time in Jiangling City, and this time in Tiger Leaping Gorge, and it will be the same next time no matter where it is.

The first batch of cavalry responsible for the charge arrived in an instant. Zhang Liao and his men did not light torches at all. The moonlight was just blocked by the mountain behind Tiger Leaping Gorge. Only the narrow corridor leading to Tiger Leaping Gorge could be seen clearly under the moonlight.

Zhang Liao had everything, including the right time, right place, and right people.

Therefore, when they rushed into the mountain stream and finally saw the three rows of halberd-lit horse-barrier formations by the light of the torches in their hands, they had no time to stop. The five leading men ran straight into the long halberds, which directly pierced the men and horses, and hung on the long halberds like candied haws.

The tough long halberds were bent by the weight of the men and horses, and the bodies fell down. Before they fell completely, the second wave of five cavalrymen had arrived, and they still ended up with one man and one horse dead.

It was not until the sixth wave of cavalry that they finally realized something was wrong. They had already rushed in with five teams of 25 people, but there was no sound of fighting inside, which made them feel afraid.

But the seventh row of cavalry followed closely behind them, not far behind them. If they stopped now, they would definitely be rushed over by their teammates. Even if the seventh row also noticed the abnormality and stopped, what about the ones behind them, and the ones behind them? How could they know?

So they could only rush forward.

After all ten rows of cavalry were killed, the soldiers who had been guarding the center of the semicircle quickly retreated and replaced them with other soldiers who were still in good physical condition, and continued to form a formation of chevaux de frise.

Finally, after the seventeenth row of cavalry rushed in like a drop of water sinking into the sea, Lu Xun stopped the cavalry that continued to charge.

He looked at the mountain stream with some doubts. It seemed that there was really a tiger in the Tiger Leaping Gorge, waiting for them inside, and this narrow corridor was also the bloody mouth of the tiger.

In war, people are not afraid of death, but the speed of death is too fast. Moreover, these 85 people are all good fighters under Lu Xun. It can be said that these 85 people are more important to Lu Xun than 850 people. He originally wanted to use their high combat power to break through Zhang Liao's conspiracy, but now it seems that he underestimated Zhang Liao.

"Fire rockets! Since they don't come out, force them out!"

Lu Xun soon noticed that since the other party wanted to fight with them by relying on the terrain of Tiger Leaping Gorge, he would not do as Zhang Liao wished. If you don't come out, I will set fire to force you out.

Just when the archer prepared the rocket with oil and was about to fire it into the mountain stream, he was stopped by the kite.

"General, there is a big river in Tiger Leaping Gorge, which runs throughout the Tiger Leaping Gorge. I am afraid that fire attack will not work."

Lu Xun was a little confused by the sudden news. Could it be that Zhang Liao really took advantage of the time, place and people? He could only fill this Tiger Leaping Gorge with his life?

There was no other way, Lu Xun could only change the charge situation, he couldn't wait, this kind of war that affected the whole body, time is life, even if it means taking human lives, Zhang Liao and others must be piled up here to die!

Under Lu Xun's command, countless soldiers began to rush in, without any other reason, just because the conditions given by Lu Xun were too luxurious.

Those who died in the battle, the bounty was one ingot, those who killed the enemy, the bounty was ten ingots, those who killed five or more people, the bounty was fifty ingots, and the title of a hundred households, those who killed more than ten people, the bounty was one hundred ingots, and the title of a thousand households!

This scale of reward can be said to be as high as it can be. You know, the annual salary of these cavalrymen is only two taels of silver, one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and one ingot of gold is ten taels, that is, one hundred taels of silver. If they want to earn this one hundred taels of silver, it will take them fifty years.

But now, you only need to die on the battlefield to get it, and the killer can get more, which also makes all of them rush into the Tiger Leaping Gorge at this moment.

All the money that Shi Xie had accumulated over the years had now been moved to Jiangdong. Jiangdong, which was originally poor, had now become extremely rich. Apart from other things, the countless jades that Shi Xie had obtained in Jiaozhi County were enough for them to use for several years.

Lu Xun's order ignited the fighting spirit of the soldiers like a raging fire. Their eyes flashed with the desire for gold and silver and the pursuit of fame. Under such encouragement, even when facing Zhang Liao's seemingly insurmountable barricade, they rushed up without hesitation.

Zhang Liao stood at the forefront behind the barricade. Once the barricade was broken, he would be the first to face the enemy.

His eyes were extremely cold at this moment. Although the opponent's combat power was not enough for his subordinates to trigger his commander's skills, in this narrow mountain stream, the opponent's not-so-great numerical advantage could not be fully utilized.

The power of the chevaux-de-frise formation lies in its ability to limit the enemy's mobility to the maximum extent, making it impossible for the enemy to exert its impact. Moreover, the toughness of the long spear also makes the chevaux-de-frise formation stronger.

As Lu Xun's soldiers continued to pour into the mountain stream, the soldiers in the Tiger Leaping Gorge also began their counterattack. They used the cover of the chevaux-de-frise formation to accurately strike the enemy with bows and spears. Every time the spear was thrust out, it was accompanied by the enemy's screams and the neighing of the warhorse.

Such a battle lasted for half an hour, and the mountain stream was filled with the smell of blood and the sound of metal colliding.

Although Lu Xun's men were fearless, they died too quickly. In half an hour, more than 3,000 people had been thrown in, but there was no feedback. Their losses were extremely heavy.

Lu Xun stood at the edge of the entrance of the mountain stream. He squinted his eyes and looked inside. He watched his soldiers fall one after another. His heart was filled with helplessness and anger. He couldn't see clearly where the shadow covered the place. He could only see some flashing cold light.

That must be the defense line organized by Zhang Liao. The battle has reached a critical moment. If Zhang Liao's defense line cannot be broken quickly, then the morale will plummet and the result of this battle will be irreversible. So he could only continue to give orders and continue to rush inside, but at this moment, the fear of death has exceeded the soldiers' desire for money. Now, the only ones who took the initiative to attack were the refugees who migrated to join the army. They needed money too much, so they were willing to exchange their lives for money.

In the Tiger Leaping Gorge, the hundreds of long spears have now all been replaced by a wave of people, because more than half of the first wave of hundreds of people have been killed or injured at this moment, and the remaining ones are also injured, most of them have broken tiger mouths. They must replace people, otherwise the horse-blocking formation will soon be broken.

After another thousand men were deployed, it was still like a drop of water falling into the sea, with no reaction. Lu Xun could no longer bear it.

"Shoot the arrows, shoot the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge into a hedgehog! Also, call in the catapults, destroy the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge!"

At this moment, Lu Xun could no longer care about Sun Quan's order to capture Zhang Liao alive. His men suffered too much loss. If he could not capture Zhang Liao, Sun Jian would probably blame him. Therefore, he would defeat Zhang Liao at all costs, even if he killed him and disobeyed Sun Quan's order.

A cavalry of ten people left Tiger Leaping Gorge and rushed towards Wujun County City without looking back. They had mobilized catapults before, which were stored outside Wujun County City. It only took half an hour to transport them there. This could be said to be a huge job. It was just a trip of catapults, without life-threatening, and it could leave a good impression on Lu Xun in the end. This kind of job was the most popular.

They were a group of ten people, and they took the small road just to save time and leave a better impression on Lu Xun, but when they arrived at the county city, they were all stunned.

Therefore, at this moment, the county city of Wujun actually launched a war quietly!

A cavalry unit of more than 10,000 people was actually attacking the county city of Wujun at this moment, and what shocked them most was that their young master Sun Quan did not take the county city with high walls, but chose to go out of the city and fight with the cavalry of more than 10,000 people.

Sun Quan was standing on the city wall, looking at the battlefield under the city, his eyes full of confidence.

At first, Sun Quan thought that Zhang Liao had killed Lu Xun and his cavalry and came all the way to the county city, but after seeing the 10,000 soldiers and horses, Sun Quan was relieved and ordered his army to attack immediately to fight this group of wandering soldiers and braves who didn't know where they came from.

However, after two rounds of close combat between the two armies, when the ten-man team just saw this scene, Sun Quan found that his idea was absolutely wrong. These were not vagrant soldiers, but a group of well-trained regular soldiers. Moreover, the leading general of the other side was extremely brave. In just a quarter of an hour, he had killed two first-class generals under his command.

You know, these two first-class generals were sent by Sun Jian to protect Sun Quan. They must not be too weak, but they were killed one after another by the unfamiliar general within a quarter of an hour.

Sun Quan had to send his own soldiers into the battlefield as well. That was a special army that belonged to Sun Quan alone. Although there were only 100 people, their combat power was extremely high, even better than the tiger soldiers under the chariot. Since it was a special army awakened by Sun Quan, Sun Jian naturally handed over the right of command to Sun Quan.

This army of only 100 people is called Bai Lingwei. This should be the only special army that has the basic attributes of a peak second-rate general at the beginning of awakening. Other special army types do not have such high basic attributes.

However, with high attributes, there are also great disadvantages. Just like its name, Bai Lingwei, the upper limit of the number of people is 100, but the growth attribute of this 100-man army is ridiculously high. Just give them enough time, they can even become a team of all first-rate generals.

At that time, a team of 100 first-rate generals of special arms will follow you. Just think about how powerful it will be.

After Bai Lingwei joined the battlefield, it immediately turned into a sharp blade on the battlefield, and quickly divided a clear gap on the battlefield.

This 100-man cavalry was too powerful. They faced the cavalry led by Xu Rong just like Xu Rong faced Sun Quan's cavalry now. Xu Rong's men could slaughter Sun Quan's men, but this 100-winged guard could slaughter Xu Rong's men. The two sides formed a delicate balance.

Xu Rong soon discovered the existence of this special army. A team of 100 people, rushing around in such a large battlefield, was really hard not to attract attention. In addition, their fighting style was too fierce. They chose to cut off the cavalry army representing the river like a halberd.

The halberd across the river was the 100-winged guard killing through the entire battlefield.

"These should be soldiers like Yunchang's Qinglong School Swordsman and Yide's Yanyun Eighteen Riders. We can't let them continue to kill like this. I'll go and meet them!"

Xu Rong's eyes were sharp, and at the same time he was very grateful. Fortunately, the other side had only 100 people, and it was far from being a decisive role in the battlefield.

Even so, Xu Rong decided to personally stop this cavalry of 100 people and stop them from continuing to kill like this, otherwise the advantage they had worked so hard to build up a quarter of an hour ago would disappear.

Holding a spear, Xu Rong began to chase and kill this cavalry of 100 people throughout the battlefield. Even if Xu Rong faced this 100 people, he did not dare to be careless at all. This 100 people united together, definitely had the strength to slaughter first-class generals. Even Xu Rong, who was a quasi-famous general, could easily capsize in the ditch if he was not careful.

Behind Xu Rong, there were two first-class generals following closely. They were first-class generals who were promoted when they followed Xu Rong to fight Goguryeo. Now they can be regarded as independent. Among all the people, only the three of them have combat power above the first-class generals.

Even if they were second-rate generals, they would have to give up when they encountered special troops of the Bailing Guard level. They were no match for them at all. Below the first-rate generals, the individual combat power of special troops was higher than that of generals of the same level, and above the first-rate generals, the combat power of ordinary generals would surpass that of special troops.

Therefore, only the three of them started to hunt down the Bailing Guards.

Before joining the battlefield, the Bailing Guards received an order from Sun Quan, asking them to protect their names no matter what, and to take their lives as the most important at the critical moment.

The Bailing Guards also thoroughly implemented Sun Quan's order, fighting and running on the battlefield.
