At the end of March of the second year of Jian'an, the long-stalemate situation in Huainan finally changed.

Due to the long-term shortage of food and grass supply, many local gentry still care about the Han Dynasty, and the morale of the Yuan army was depressed. Around Shouchun City, there were several cities and camps surrendering to the Han army. Even inside Shouchun City, there were undercurrents, and some forces were even ready to launch a mutiny and rebel against Yuan Shu.

As a result, the forces of both sides increased and decreased. The defense circle surrounding Shouchun suddenly showed huge loopholes. Among them, the surrender of the army of General Liu Xun was the most critical, and an important camp he guarded fell into the hands of the Han army. The gates in the southwest of Shouchun suddenly opened.

Feng Yu and Sun Jian seized the opportunity and entered Shouchun in a gap. Ji Ling, the commander of the Yuan army, was forced to urgently transfer about 20,000 Yuan troops from each battalion to intercept the Han army in the field. This led to the largest field battle in the entire battle.

To the west of Shouchun City, between rivers and lakes, a field about two miles wide, with flags, swords and guns all over the mountains. Looking deep, it is boundless. The Han army and Ji Ling's army meet head-on here.

In such a battlefield environment, the two armies have no thoughts to imagine except for head-on duels. Moreover, the cavalry seems to be unable to play their advantages in this battlefield with limited space.

The Han army was composed of Feng Yu's army and Sun Jian's army. However, there were no soldiers in Zhao Yun's army. All the soldiers of the Han army knew that the infantry of Zhao Yun's army were "cooperating" with the Yuan army to surrender and guard several important cities and camps in the rear.

However, the cavalry of the legion and Zhao Yun themselves did not know where to go, and they had not been seen for two days.

Amid the whimpering horns and the sound of the dong-dong war drums, eight battle elephants, surrounded by hundreds of Jiaozhou vine armored soldiers, moved forward slowly.

The Jiaozhou Army learned from the lessons from the last battle of attacking Hefei and wore armors connected by thick bamboos for these elephants. After spending a cold Huainan winter, these elephants became lively from sluggishness in this spring season.

The two wings are Feng Yu's army's long spear formation, as well as Jing Yi infantry and some Sun Ce army. Following behind are a large number of crossbowmen. Thirty-four giant ape warriors are mixed in the long spear formation.

Ji Ling held the reins and squinted his eyes to look at the strange armor in the opponent's military formation--the war elephant covered with bamboo armor, and dozens of extremely tall war soldiers. The war soldiers seemed not normal humans in terms of their figures and postures!

He ordered coldly: "Give orders, after the two armies join forces, all the heavy crossbows will gather to shoot the battle elephants and the giant soldiers."

Feng Yu was also behind the formation, observing the formation of the two armies. The system mission panel jumped into his sight again:

[Task: Decisive Battle, Mission Content: Defeat the current main force of Yuan Shu Army, capture or kill Ji Ling, the commander of Yuan Shu Army alive. Mission reward: Cheetah Training Institute Construction Card x1, General Chen will reduce the blue card x1, General Chen will reduce the purple card x1]

The two armies were getting closer and closer, and the front row of the Han army's spear formation began to fall into dense gun forests, and the other infantry formations also stood up at the front. The Yuan army also built a wall of oars and shields at the front of the army formation. The crossbowmen on both sides opened their bows and strings, and the rain of arrows fell on the heads of the two armies.

Far away from the shield wall, the soldiers holding the shield raised their shields above their heads to block the sharp arrows and strong arrows that were shot. The spearmen in the rear row tried desperately to shake the gun rod, trying to use the gun rod to hit the arrows, and use friction to slow down the speed and power of the arrows.

The whole world was filled with crackling sounds, which were the sound of arrows shooting into wooden shields. It was not too late to mix with the screams and howls of the arrowheads.

Eight battle elephants walking forward were covered with arrows, like eight huge hedgehogs. However, under the cover of bamboo armor that was nearly inch thick, no arrows entered the flesh.

There were three soldiers on each battle elephant, one was a steering elephant, and the other two were war soldiers. At this time, the war soldiers were also using powerful crossbows and shooting at the opponent's military formation from a high point.

Those giant ape warriors were also the targets of "care" by enemy crossbowmen, but they were heavily armored, so it was difficult for the arrows to penetrate their armor, even if they were shot into them.

The soldiers in the front row of the two armies finally confronted each other, and the shouts of killing suddenly soared into the sky. The two sides stabbed and slashed with various weapons across the shield wall.

A violent sound of "bang" was heard. The battle elephant rushed through Yuan Jun's oar and shield wall. The Yuan Jun soldiers holding the shield were instantly hit by the ground. The huge elephant foot stepped on the oar and shield, and the soldiers pressed under the shield turned into meat pie.

The soldiers on the battle elephant stabbed down with their spears to prevent enemy soldiers from approaching the battle elephant. The battle elephant continued to rush forward, and Yuan's army avoided them in fear.

A Yuan army soldier holding a heavy spear stabbed the war elephant hard. The heavy spear pierced through the thick bamboo armor, but the force was exhausted and could no longer enter the slightest. At the same time, a dog-legged war knife had stabbed into his left rib. Jiaozhou vine armored soldiers followed the war elephant into the gap in Yuan army.

The battle elephant who was stabbed snorted in pain and accelerated to rush forward. Several Yuan soldiers who could not dodge were rushed to the ground again.

Feng Yujun's spear square formation faced the wall of the oar shield and could not break through for a while. The giant ape warriors used their special long-handled warriors to stab the oar shield for several inches, and then they picked it up with force. The big shield suddenly flew out. More than a dozen spears and spear blades followed and pierced into Yuan Bing's body behind...

The Jiaozhou soldiers of the Han army and Feng Yu's spear formation broke into the Yuan army formation one after another. They stabbed the war elephants and the spear forests in a dense manner, and the swords of the giant ape soldiers. The Yuan army formation was shaking like a collapsed dam. The Han army soldiers behind continued to rush towards the gaps.

Ji Ling, who was supervising the battle behind the Yuan army, saw that it was not good. His defeat had already appeared. He knew that a complete defeat would be a matter of a moment. He secretly said: "Thirty-six strategies are the best strategy. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave."

Without issuing a military order to retreat, Ji Ling quietly turned his horse's head and fled back with hundreds of personal guards. Then the cavalry troops who were secretly ordered to evacuate behind the formation.

It is not unreasonable for him to do this. When the battle reaches this state, ordering a retreat can only be a complete defeat in advance. Not only can it not reduce the losses of soldiers in the front army, but the cavalry in the rear may not even be unable to escape.

Even so, after a moment, some soldiers in the Yuan army who were fighting desperately in front of him gradually discovered that the commander had fled. They began to flee one after another. Coupled with the fierce attack of the Han army, the Yuan army quickly evolved into a complete defeat.

Under Feng Yu's systematic viewing scene, Yuan's soldiers were like sheep chased by lions, running around in chaos on the wilderness between rivers and lakes. Running in the front was Ji Ling and his personal guards, followed by two or three thousand cavalrymen.

Ji Ling ran for dozens of miles and had just run out of the wasteland limited by the lake and rivers, thinking that he had escaped from the time of birth. Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses came from the sky.
