Chapter 2739 It's a pity the commander-in-chief isn't Sun Quan!

Just as the soldiers clashed in front of both sides, the catapults in Wang Yue's army suddenly launched a large number of stones.

The stones fell one by one, instantly cutting Le Jin and Li Dian's 5-strong army in two, leaving them unable to defend both ends.

When 50,000 troops and 100,000 troops were fighting, it was impossible to send all of them down. Only the first few thousand fought each other, and the rest kept taking their place.

Now, Li Dian's army has been cut in two. The 1 soldiers at the front are barely able to maintain the line, while the main force behind them is of no help at all.

Moreover, the catapults struck the archers' positions, and without the archers' support, the losses were greater.

Therefore, in less than an hour, Li Dian's 50,000 troops had been reduced to less than 40,000, while the Yangzhou army had lost less than 5,000, and these were mostly from Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao's armies!

This casualty ratio was unacceptable to Li Dian, so he secretly communicated with Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao launched the attack ahead of schedule.

So, while the two sides were locked in a stalemate, taking advantage of the lull in the catapults to throw stones, 1000 men suddenly charged out from the ranks of the Wei soldiers and broke through the Yangzhou soldiers' defenses.

The weapons of the Yangzhou soldiers could not harm them at all, yet they easily took the lives of the Yangzhou soldiers.

Zhou Tai and other generals who were originally from Eastern Wu stood with Wang Yue on the high platform and witnessed the reappearance of the heavy infantry that had defeated them last time, which cast a shadow over their hearts again.

Zhou Tai, in particular, seeing that the soldiers being killed were still from their Eastern Wu, hurriedly said to Wang Yue, "Governor! You should retreat. Zhang Liao is clearly after you. It's too dangerous for you to stay here."

Wang Yue glanced at Zhou Tai but ignored him completely. Instead, he said to Guan Hu beside him, "Pass the word! Under my command, we would rather die in battle than retreat a single step!"
If I am killed in battle, you shall attack the local area until the enemy is defeated!

Reassure the soldiers, if any of you die in battle, His Majesty the Emperor of Han will surely take care of your wives and children!

Generals Guan Ping and Zhang Bao are currently on the flank; we are certain to win this battle!

"Today is the day for bestowing titles and appointing generals!"

When Guan Hu heard Wang Yue's firm words, he originally wanted to dissuade him, but when he met Wang Yue's eyes, he could only keep his words of advice to himself. Then, he angrily ordered the messenger to loudly convey the message.

With Guan Hu and the messenger shouting, the soldiers in the Yangzhou army camp responded in unison.
"Must win!"

"kill!"

The Yangzhou soldiers never expected that their commander, Wang Yue, would be so determined to die. Among them, the soldiers from the Anti-Bandit Guard Department who had been drunk with Wang Yue were almost all red-eyed.

You should know that the reason they have been living a good life for the past two years, and no longer having to hide in the mountain stronghold like before, is entirely because of Wang Yue and Guan Yinping.

But now, in this great battle, Wang Yue is prepared to die, and they don't want him to die!
After all, there are many policies that change frequently these days. If Wang Yue dies, who can guarantee that their welfare policies will continue in the future?

As the 30,000 soldiers of the Anti-Bandit Guard were filled with murderous intent, the other Jiangdong soldiers were also affected, and their morale improved. In particular, they saw one soldier from the Anti-Bandit Guard, in order to block Zhang Liao's heavy infantry, pile heavily on top of the heavy infantry like a human pyramid, completely ignoring the cuts and blows from the other heavy infantry behind him, determined to stop them even at the cost of his life.

This fearless fighting caused heavy casualties among the heavily armored soldiers and restored the courage of the terrified soldiers in Jiangdong.

Although they dared not confront these heavily armored infantrymen head-on like the soldiers of the Anti-Bandit School Guard, they dared to help push over the fallen soldiers after they fell, preventing them from getting up.

Zhang Liao's heavy armored soldiers were far too few; a thousand men were like a small boat among an army of nearly 10.

When no one dares to stop them, they can easily storm through.

But when someone tries their best to stop them, at most three or five of them will be pinned to the ground and unable to get up.

Although the soldiers selected by Zhang Liao were all very strong, the armor of the heavy infantry was already very heavy, and with so many soldiers desperately pressing down on them, they simply couldn't resist.

Zhang Liao's heavily armored soldiers dwindled in number, and his heart bled with despair. However, the fact that Wang Yue's banner had not only not moved backward but had now moved forward further strengthened the morale of his troops.

Because last time in Hefei, Sun Quan and Wang Yue were standing at roughly the same distance apart.

But now this distance seems like an insurmountable chasm, making it impossible for him to reach this place.

That's exactly right. Last time, they only had a hard time at the beginning. As they got closer and Sun Quan started to run away, Zhang Liao was just chasing after them with the heavily armored soldiers, carrying their heavy armor. It wasn't a big deal at all.

But the Yangzhou soldiers this time are not afraid of death at all. Even he, a military general, is getting tired of killing people, let alone the ordinary soldiers.

So, when Zhang Liao was still more than a hundred paces away from Wang Yue, the enraged soldiers of the bandit school guards pushed the catapult and rammed it heavily into Zhang Liao, this fierce general.

If it were Zhang Liao at his peak, he could have chopped down that massive wooden catapult with a single stroke. But after fighting for so long, Zhang Liao's strength was starting to wane.

In addition, the catapults made by Wang Yue were made of relatively thick wood and inlaid with iron bars in order to launch the projectiles further.

Therefore, although Zhang Liao's sword cut through the iron bar, it also became embedded in the wood. When he tried to pull it out, the other soldiers suddenly pounced over and pinned him down.

After one appeared, a second one immediately followed, and in no time there were dozens, piling up like a human pyramid, completely overwhelming Zhang Liao.

The other heavy infantrymen rushed forward to help Zhang Liao when they saw him being pushed down, but before they could get close, they were heavily pressed down by the other soldiers of the bandit-suppressing command because they hadn't been able to keep attacking.

At this point, all of Zhang Liao's more than a thousand heavily armored Wei warriors, along with Zhang Liao himself, had fallen.

At this moment, Wang Yue was less than a hundred paces away from Zhang Liao, which shows how terrifying the heavy infantry were!
