Lou Gui was furious and ordered the Chinese army to continue the attack.

The soldiers of Nanyang County organized an offensive again, built a pontoon bridge under the cover of the arrow array, and forcibly broke through.

The arrows rained down, and even Sun Ce was so pressed that he couldn't raise his head, so he could only hide behind the cart, listening to the cart being shot by the dense arrows like rain hitting plantains, and the sound was like a layer of hair. This is especially true on the ground, where the arrows are as dense as fluffy grass and cannot find a foothold.

Sun Ce roughly estimated that there were at least two thousand archers on the other side of the river, and there were many strong crossbows among them. According to the usual ratio of crossbowmen, there were at least 10,000 people on the other side of the river, far more than his estimate, and he couldn't help but get nervous. If Cao Cao attacked at any cost, his losses would be very large, and he might even collapse on all fronts.

Cao Cao is crazy, would rather lose Wancheng than my life? is also said that he and He Jin not only go out of the same family, but also have a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and other relationships are also good, but he married He Jin's daughter-in-law Yin, and also adopted He Jin's grandson He Yan.

Sun Ce hid behind the cart, muttering to himself while waiting for the counterattack to begin. Deng Zhan was tied up like a zongzi, and he was supposed to be sent to the Chinese army, because the arrow rain was too dense, and he could only hide behind the cart for the time being.

"It's not Cao Cao who is in command on the other side, it's Lou Zibo."

"Uncle Lou?" Sun Ce felt that the name was familiar, but he was not too impressed. However, he was still very surprised to learn that it was not Cao Cao on the other side. How could there be someone in Wancheng besides Cao Cao who could command an army of 10,000 to fight? "Where is Cao Cao?"

Deng Zhan closed his mouth tightly and didn't say a word. Sun Ce didn't ask again, and called a righteous servant to ask him to send the news to the Chinese army, tell Zhou Yu, and then chatted with Deng Zhan. "Are you from the Xinye Deng family?"

Deng Zhan still didn't speak, and in the dark, he couldn't see his face.

"Do you know someone named Deng Ai?"

"Deng Ai?" Deng Zhan thought for a while and shook his head. "I haven't heard of it."

It seems that either she hasn't given birth yet, or she's still breastfeeding. Sun Ce thought secretly. He has become accustomed to the fact that many celebrities are still in kindergarten or elementary school. There's no way, I was born too early, the Three Kingdoms era has just kicked off, and many people who shine later have either not met it, or they haven't stepped on the stage yet, or they haven't even been born yet.

Suddenly, there was a drum sound, and the opposing arrow array stopped firing, and the foot soldiers began to charge. Sun Ce jumped up, took the lead, and slashed with his sword. Although his figure was not as burly as Dian Wei, he was still taller than ordinary soldiers, and even in Yizhong, whose average height was beyond that of ordinary people, he was very conspicuous. Compared with Dian Wei's rage, Sun Ce's long knife is as fast as the wind, fast and fast, and it must be a key point when he strikes, and the efficiency of killing people is very high.

Under the cover of Dian Wei and a group of righteous servants, Sun Ce rushed back and forth, invincible, and repelled the attacks of Nanyang soldiers again and again.

Without Deng Zhan, who was strong in martial arts, to take the lead, although the Nanyang County soldiers were on the offensive, they were unable to break through, and several attacks did not make any substantial progress except for throwing hundreds of corpses. But Sun Ce was also very cautious, he defended with all his might, but he refused to cross the river one step, even if Lou Gui deliberately showed weakness and exposed flaws, he refused to take the initiative to attack.

The strong attack was fruitless, and the show of weakness failed, Lou Gui was so anxious that he jumped like thunder, and in a hurry, even He Xian was scolded by him a few ugly words, and his face turned pale with anger, but he didn't dare to fight back. There was no news from the He family soon after he left the village, and no matter how he contacted him, the gate of the manor was not opened again. Lou Gui blamed him for not contributing to the He family, and he couldn't say it because he was bitter.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Lou Gui hesitated, once it was dawn, his troop deployment would be exposed, and it was not too late to withdraw at this time, but he was unwilling to give up. 10,000 people can't capture Sun Ce's camp of 4,000 people, how can he see people in the future, especially how to go back to see Cao Cao?

After much muttering, Lou Gyu decided to make one last attempt.

For a while, the drums beat again, earth-shattering.

——

Five miles away, Cao Cao sat on the hillside, quietly watching the battlefield in the distance.

The sound of war drums was clearly audible, but more than an hour of fierce attacks still failed to win, he knew that Lou Gui had no hope, and now it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he could only fight the trapped beast.

"Sun Bofu, you are really cautious." Cao Cao chuckled softly: "It's just too young." ”

There were two corpses lying not far behind Cao Cao, which had been half-cooled by the night wind, and the blood had also coagulated, and the two pairs of eyes were wide open, but they had lost their lustre. They still had a few arrows on them, but the fatal wound was the throat, which was cut open with a knife, and half of their bodies were soaked with blood gushing out.

If Sun Ce or Zhou Yu were here, they must know these two people. This is the messenger they sent to Yuan Shu's camp to deliver the letter.

Cao Ang wrapped his arms tightly, walked to Cao Cao's side, and half-knelt on the ground. "Father, when are we going to wait?"

"Zixiu, listen." Cao Cao put a finger to his lips and pointed to the battlefield in the distance. "What do you hear?"

Cao Ang listened. "The drums of war, and ...... Shouting to kill? ”

"What's the difference between this drum and the previous one?"

Cao Ang listened carefully again. "Nope."

"Listen carefully."

At this time, Cao Anmin came over and said softly: "Uncle, I feel that this drum is a little impetuous, and I am not as confident as I was at the beginning. Uncle, am I right? ”

Cao Ang lowered his head in shame.

Cao Cao laughed silently. "An Min, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, this is just a saying in the art of war, not the same every time. Lou Zibo used the night as a cover, but in fact, those drummers didn't know the situation in front of the battle, they were just ordered to beat the drums. With his drumming skills, it is unlikely that he can deliver so much news in the drums. Otherwise, the master would not have to study Wen Wang Cao for three months. ”

Cao Anmin laughed twice. Cao Cao patted Cao Ang's face and flicked Cao Anmin's head again. "Boy, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing. I am your father and uncle, not your monarch, and you don't need to find out my heart and cater to my ideas. If you put your mind to this, you will not learn the true art of war. ”

"Whoa." Cao Ang and Cao Anmin agreed in unison.

"All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted. This is especially true with soldiers. Only by knowing the other side can you be undefeated. Knowing the other side is not only to know how many men and horses the other party has, how much grain and grass there is, where they are stationed, where they are coming from, and where they are going, but also to know who the generals are and what habits they have in using soldiers. It will be the master of an army, and it is as important as the human brain. If he is a fool, he must not be afraid even if he has a million soldiers. If he is a smart man, we cannot take it lightly. Why can't Lou Zibo attack for a long time? It's because he doesn't know what kind of person Sun Bofu is. ”

"Uncle, what kind of person is Sun Bofu?"

"Sun Bofu is an extremely cautious person, since he dares to lead the troops to attack the He family's manor alone, he must have the ability to protect himself." Cao Cao raised his head and looked into the distance. "Therefore, our target should not be Sun Bofu, but Yuan Highway. Hehe, Sun Bofu is also worried about this. It's just that he is one step less, and he didn't expect that I would stop his messenger here, waiting for Yuan Highway to enter. ”
