Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

Large numbers of Yellow Turban soldiers have begun to come ashore and flee back to their homeland on the east bank of the Xun River.

Although there were pursuers behind them.

But if you're lucky, you might not be caught by the pursuers.

But things are different now; the river channel has been blocked, and the only way to get ashore is to go upstream or downstream and find another place to land.

When Sun Jian led five hundred cavalrymen and charged to the east bank, he was stunned by the scene of fighting on the opposite bank.

Where did this army come from?

How did you suddenly appear here?

Sun Jian was full of question marks.

Sun Jian's gaze followed the opposite bank, landing on the battle flag of the army on the other side.

high?

麴？

There seems to be a character "曹" (Cao) in the background.

"Cao Cao, the Cavalry Commandant?" A name flashed through Sun Jian's mind.

Of course, Sun Jian had never met Cao Cao. He learned from Zhu Jun that Cao Cao had been appointed as Cavalry Commandant and led troops to Yingchuan.

Of course, these were not the most important things to Sun Jian.

Most importantly, Sun Jian saw Bo Cai.

At this time, Bo Cai was commanding the Yellow Turban Army to attack the Han army on the west bank of the Xun River.

However, in Sun Jian's view, the Yellow Turban army had already begun a large-scale rout.

Failure is only a matter of time.

Upon seeing Bo Cai, Sun Jian immediately became anxious.

What were they chasing relentlessly all the way from Changshe for?

It's all for the sake of achieving complete victory in one battle, utterly defeating Bo Cai, or even killing him outright.

The battle to quell the rebellion has just begun, and whoever can achieve the greatest merit will be the one to win the grand prize.

Bo Cai is the leader of the largest band of bandits in the Eastern Theater Command.

Taking down Bo Cai is a feat worthy of a noble title.

But if they painstakingly defeat Bo Cai at Changshe, only to have someone else take him down, they would not only lose their primary achievement, but also their greatest achievement.

So Sun Jian panicked.

"Han, go and inform the Left and Right Generals immediately that Bo Cai has fled to the Xun River."

"But an army is currently fighting against Bocai."

Sun Jian looked at the Vanguard and Trapped Camp on the opposite bank and said, "Bo Cai is about to be defeated and is very likely to be captured by the enemy. Tell the two generals to come quickly and not delay on the way."

Upon hearing this, Han Dang, the deputy general behind Sun Jian, immediately turned his horse around and galloped away in the direction behind him.

Just as Sun Jian discovered Gao Shun and Qu Yi.

Cao Cao also discovered Sun Jian on the other side of the river.

"Brother, look! It looks like an army is coming."

Cao Ren, riding alongside Cao Cao, pointed in the direction of Sun Jian.

Cao Cao, on horseback, raised his hand to shade his eyes and squinted at the viewer.

At a distance of about a hundred meters, although the faces were not clearly visible, the cavalry's banner was still discernible.

The fluttering red battle flag is embroidered with a large character 'Sun'.

"Sun?"

Cao Cao squinted and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered someone.

"It should be Sun Jian, the military advisor under Zhu Jun."

"Has Zhu Jun's army caught up?" Cao Ren asked, raising his eyebrows.

Cao Cao immediately nodded. It was clear that Sun Jian had brought the vanguard, while Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song's main army should be behind them.

"No, we have to get them to hurry."

Cao Cao then looked at Cao Ren and said, "You stay here and command, I'll go and take a look."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he spurred his horse and headed out of the woods, heading straight in the direction that Gao Shun and Qu Yi had pointed.

"General Gao, General Qu," Cao Cao said, pointing towards the east bank of the Xun River as he approached the two men.

"The vanguard of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song has arrived, which means that the main army is not far behind."

"Their target must be Bocai!"

"If we want to achieve complete success, we must capture Bo Cai before Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun do," Cao Cao said.

Gao Shun and Qu Yi looked in the direction Cao Cao was pointing and indeed saw the cavalry led by Sun Jian.

At this time, Sun Jian had not yet made a move on the east bank.

Gao Shun and Qu Yi exchanged a glance.

Then the two of them nodded together.

"Then we'll leave this to General Cao. We'll each lead a detachment and surround Bo Cai below, preventing him from escaping."

"Alright!" Cao Cao nodded in agreement, "You two generals can go ahead, I'll take care of things here."

After they finished speaking, Gao Shun and Qu Yi didn't waste any more words.

They directly summoned the 1,600 people who had been idle until now.

Each led eight hundred men.

These 1,600 people were divided into 800 battalions.

This is the true vanguard and the elite troops.

Each of the eight hundred vanguard soldiers carried a halberd and a powerful crossbow on their backs.

Qu Yi, holding a large halberd, walked at the very front.

On the other side, the Eight Hundred Vanguard Battalion soldiers were fully clad in iron armor, each holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

Gao Shun was dressed in the same outfit.

The two men led their respective 800 men around the main battlefield and then attacked the river from the left and right flanks, heading straight for Bo Caide's left and right rear.

Sun Jian, who was standing on the east bank, also saw this scene and deduced the intentions of the two men.

This is clearly an attempt to steal credit.

We must deal with Bo Cai before their main force arrives.

No, we can't just sit there and wait for death.

Sun Jian gritted his teeth and made a tough decision.

"The entire army dismounted and fought."

Anxious Sun Jian let out a loud roar.

Below is a river, which warhorses simply cannot cross.

Only a battle fought from the ground would work.

At Sun Jian's command, the five hundred cavalrymen dismounted and charged into the river with their spears.

In an instant, all the roads to the left, right, and behind Bo Caide were blocked.

However, Bo Cai, caught in the chaos of battle, did not notice this.

He was still directing his troops to charge the battlefield on the main riverbed.

............

It is several miles away from the Xun River.

After Han Dang led several riders for several miles, they encountered Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun coming towards them.

"Generals, my master Sima has sent me to inform you."

"At this time, Bo Cai's army had already crossed the Xun River."

"However, an army appeared from somewhere on the west bank of the Xun River and blocked Bo Cai's landing route. They are currently fighting Bo Cai's army."

"My lord Sima said that he requests the two generals to go to provide support as soon as possible, otherwise things may change if we are delayed."

Neither Huangfu Song nor Zhu Jun were fools.

The two understood the meaning behind those words immediately.

What does "delayed accountability leads to complications" mean?

The Han soldiers who appeared from somewhere on the other side of the river were clearly trying to steal the credit.

In the Battle of Changshe, they first defeated Bo Cai, which allowed Bo Cai to escape to this place.

This credit should have belonged to them.

But what if Bo is captured by someone else?

Then the credit will have nothing to do with them.

The credit for this must go to someone else; their contribution will fall to someone else later.

As for whose troops this is...

Although Sun Jian said he didn't see clearly, the two estimated that there was a greater than 90% chance that it was Duan Yu's troops.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who were riding on horseback, exchanged a glance.

He then ordered the entire army to rush to the Xun River as quickly as possible.
