Sun Ce's command and dispatch were very fast, and various troops quickly formed a square formation to deal with Lu Bu's raid.

From the defeat of Ling Tong's entire army, Sun Ce knew that the cavalry led by Lu Bu was very powerful. However, there was no cavalry unit in Eastern Wu that could fight against Liu Jun. The cavalry that Ling Tong had just taken out was already the only cavalry unit that Sun Ce could take. But he couldn't do anything to Lu Bu or Liu's cavalry.

In terms of cavalry, no matter how much Eastern Wu has, it is inferior to Liu Jun.

The cavalry accumulated with hard work is a scumbag with only five combat power. Sun Ce felt so painful that he almost bleeded! All his previous efforts were in vain.

But this strengthened Sun Ce's belief in organizing a powerful cavalry. If there were no powerful cavalry, the Eastern Wu would talk about protecting the Eastern Wu and entering the Central Plains in the future. Sun Ce didn't want to be worse than Liu Jun all the time.

This goal is a long way to go. If the Eastern Wu wants to compete with Liu's army in the cavalry, unless the Eastern Wu itself has a horse-producing land. Otherwise, horses alone can make Sun Ce lose all his family's fortune.

Sun Ce has not fought with the Liu army's cavalry. He had seen the power of the Liu army's elite cavalry when he was in Xuzhou and Jingzhou. After returning to Eastern Wu, he thought of a set of infantry formations that specifically restrained the Liu army's cavalry.

This phalanx is composed of multiple troops, both in defense, attack and long-range strike. In addition to the poor mobility, Sun Ce has practiced himself, but has not been promoted throughout the army. After all, when Sun Ce wanted to promote, he was poisoned and unconscious.

Now Sun Ce's phalanx has ushered in the first head-on confrontation with Liu's cavalry.

"Lu Bu, it's great to test my achievements by you, a peerless military man, in the future." Sun Ce thought silently in his heart.

Lu Bu ran all the way and suddenly discovered Sun Ce's banner. He suddenly had the idea of ​​killing Sun Ce with his own hands. With Lu Bu's personal ability and the help of Red Rabbit Horse, it was not a big problem to take Sun Ce's head.

But when Lu Bu was about to speed up, he found that many strange enemy formations appeared not far away in front of him, slowly approaching him.

"What the hell is this?" Lu Bu observed carefully.

As Lu Bu stopped advancing, Liu's cavalry also pulled the horses to stop.

What Lu Bu saw in his sight was a lot of shields, long spears and spears. But those shields were small shields, not the kind commonly used by infantrymen, but more like shields used by Liu's cavalry to protect themselves.

The weapon Changge was the most common long weapon used by infantry before the Qin and Han Dynasties. However, with the emergence of various formations, the weakness of Changge appeared. After continuous improvement and more lethal spears and guns appeared, the weapon Ge was gradually eliminated.

Of course, in this era, there are still weapons like Ge. However, after so many years of discovery, the army today is rarely used.

After careful consideration, Sun Ce simply used a spear to block the Liu army's cavalry, which seemed to be useless. Especially among the elite cavalry of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, Xiliang iron cavalry, and war horses, they all had leather armor or iron armor on their bodies. Only Liu Yu was so luxurious, putting protective armor on his war horses.

When infantry faced cavalry, they were born with fear. Even if they could use spears, they just stabbed them subconsciously, and wanted to kill the Liu army cavalry in the raid, with a very low success rate.

The weapon like Ke Ge is different. In addition to being able to chop, it can also be cut. Sun Ce takes advantage of the special nature of the weapon like Ge.

Here we can know that the purpose of Sun Ce using this weapon for infantry. Sun Ce was to use long spears to cut off the horse legs of Liu's cavalry's war horses!

The war horse can be covered with armor, but the horse's legs cannot be protected. If the war horse's legs are injured, no matter how powerful the war horse is, it will not be able to run.

Killing the enemy is to break the horse's legs first. This trick is really insidious. However, from a tactical point of view, this is the best way for infantry to deal with cavalry.

When Sun Ce designed this attack method, he was very confused. If he could defeat Liu Jun's cavalry and seize Liu Jun's war horses, then there would be many more horses in Dongwu. The war horse with broken legs would not last long.

You can't have both fish and bear's paws. Sun Ce can only settle for the second best.

Of course, in addition to weapons, the Sun Ce square formation has various functions.

However, whether it can work depends on this actual combat.

Sun Ce personally stepped forward to command.

After carefully observing the posture of Dongwu, Lu Bu only felt that the square formation was a bit strange.

However, even if it is strange, Lu Bu is not afraid. He has the reputation of being the number one military general in the world, and no matter how powerful the square formation is, it cannot do anything to him. This is his confidence. Even if Lu Bu has never seen the square formation in front of him.

"Lu Bu!" Sun Ce said loudly after the square formation: "I thought of a formation in my spare time, which is powerful. Everyone in the world says that you are the number one general in the world, and I wonder if you dare to break this formation!?"

When Lu Bu saw Sun Ce's face, he thought that Sun Ce had indeed woken up, and then laughed and said, "Little Overlord Sun Ce, that's it! You and I are people in martial arts. Isn't it a joke to learn that corrupt scholars are focused on the way of formations? If you have the courage, fight with me!"

Well, Lu Bu offended all the wise men in the world with one sentence. No wise men would get angry or dissatisfied with Lu Bu when he heard Lu Bu's words. It was not because Lu Bu said it was right, but because he couldn't afford to offend him! Lu Bu's most powerful force in the world, and who is not afraid of being killed by Lu Bu's Fang Tian Huaji. You must know that there are so many wise and high-ranking officials in the Shenwu court, but Cao Cao has the confidence and strength to make things difficult for Lu Bu.

Sun Ce really wanted to fight Lu Bu alone, but the situation did not allow it. His current body cannot withstand fierce battles.

"Haha, I am the lord of a country, and every word and action is related to the people. Wouldn't I directly reduce my identity when fighting with you? If I want to take action, call Liu Yu over! If not, don't waste any more slap. I set up this formation. If you want to rescue Jianye, please break the formation. Otherwise, I can wait for this time. Your defenders in Jianye City can't last long." Sun Ce is no longer the same as before. He was not stimulated by Lu Bu, but instead stimulated Lu Bu with words.

Lu Bu sank when he heard this. The Eastern Wu's attack on Jianye did not stop because of Lu Bu's arrival, but only divided a group of troops to block Lu Bu. The square formation arranged by Sun Ce was on Lu Bu's route. Even if Jianye City is now in a high morale and constantly blocking the Eastern Wu's attack. Lu Bu believes that the longer it drags on, the more the military strength of Jianye City will probably not be able to stop it.

Lu Bu looked carefully at the square formation arranged by Sun Ce, and there were all kinds of troops, but he couldn't tell what was particularly powerful. However, since Sun Ce dared to set up a square formation and let Lu Bu attack, he must have planned it.

Lu Bu kept pondering in his heart: Sun Ce had a conspiracy, and if the entire army rushed into the square, he would definitely be hit by his plan.

"Hmph! Sun Ce, let me see how much weight your square formation has! You are waiting for the next time, and I will come!" Lu Bu decided to break the formation himself.

The Liu army's cavalry had no objection, and they immediately gathered together and waited for Lu Bu.
Chapter completed!
