Zhang Fei wisely gave up rushing into battle and did not become a ghost under the sword of a thousand troops, but he was not safe because of this.

As soon as he passed in front of Sun Ce, he heard an ominous roar. He was also considered to have been in battle for a long time, and when he heard this familiar voice, he shouted without thinking: "Raise the shield—" shouted as he took off the riding shield from the saddle and covered the top of his head.

The horsemen were so frightened that they didn't care about attacking their opponents, and they raised their shields to protect themselves. In terms of their experience in fighting the Han army, the bow and crossbow were undoubtedly the most lethal weapons, and as long as they heard this familiar voice, they would be uneasy from the bottom of their hearts. Whether they are wearing leather armor or unprotected horses, they are the favorite targets of the bow and crossbow.

Before the words fell, a dense rain of arrows flew, and dozens of knights fell from their horses.

Zhang Fei, who rushed to the front, received key attention, and the sound of "poof" was endless, and he was hit by dozens of arrows in a moment. Fortunately, his armor was solid, and although he was shot like a hedgehog and injured, it was not fatal. But his mount did not have such good luck, and was killed on the spot, fell to the ground, and threw Zhang Fei far away.

Zhang Fei was caught off guard, his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen, and he was dizzy.

"Kill—" Guo Jun raised the long knife in his hand and shouted.

The soldiers of the personal guard battalion poured out from the large camp behind Sun Ce, pulling the crossbow machine as they ran, shooting a dense rain of arrows. They had already been ordered to ambush in the camp, and the two thousand crossbows were wound and loaded with arrows, and at this moment, they really made a splash and put down Zhang Fei, who was rushing to the front.

Taking advantage of Zhang Fei's fall to the ground, the Zahu cavalry suffered heavy losses, and the formation was in chaos, Guo Jun led the 4,000 personal guard battalion to outflank both ends, protecting Sun Ce at the same time, and also intercepting the Zahu cavalry, the sword and shield hands, and the spearmen were in the front line, and the crossbowmen followed closely behind, shooting continuously. The personal guard battalion is second only to the elite of the volunteer battalion, and the training standard is far higher than that of ordinary soldiers, although the personal quality is not as strong as the volunteer battalion, and the various formation changes are not inferior. 4,000 people attacked, set up formations, and quickly formed a battle formation.

By the time Zhang Fei got up from the ground, there was already a dense position in front of him, and nearly a thousand soldiers were waiting for him. The crossbows were still shooting, the arrows were galloping, and the sound of breaking the wind made him unable to raise his head, and there were continuous screams behind him. When he looked back, he trembled with distress. Zahu cavalry suffered heavy losses, and at least more than 200 people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and the rest were also in a mess, completely disorganized, and bumped into each other, which was simply a living arrow target.

"Alas, what's going on Zilong, don't command it, wait to be beaten?!"

Zhang Fei slapped his thigh and blurted out. The words came out, and then he remembered that Zhao Yun had been away for several months, and now the person commanding these cavalry was himself, so angry that he slapped his head, stood up, and was just about to give a loud order, a horse rushed to him, and the knight on the horse flew off his horse, reached out to lift Zhang Fei, and put him on the horse's back.

"Yide, let's go!"

Zhang Fei's head was dizzy, but he still recognized Guan Yu, and his heart was settled. "Brother Yun, let's go together."

"You go first, I'll break back!" Guan Yu held a spear in his left hand and pulled out a Qiyao knife in his right hand, Danfeng's eyes were glaring, and he was majestic.

Zhang Fei didn't dare to say any more, so he turned his horse and rushed to the knight, roaring in a loud voice with his characteristic, barely reorganizing these stunned cavalrymen. But they suffered heavy losses, almost half of them were killed or wounded. What's even worse is that Guo Jun and Chen Zhi have already surrounded them with 5,000 foot cavalry, and it is extremely difficult to kill them back to the city.

Guan Yu secretly complained. At this point, he knew that he had fallen for Sun Ce's plan. He and Zhang Fei may be able to kill them, but few of these miscellaneous horsemen will leave alive. Liu Bei has two elite forces in his hands, one is four thousand Danyang soldiers, and the other is these more than 1,000 miscellaneous horses, especially the miscellaneous horses, which are very important to Liu Bei. There was a shortage of horses in the south, and cavalry was very precious, and in the event of a loss it was difficult to replenish it.

"Sun Ce'er, it's extremely hateful." Guan Yu's face was flushed with anger and he gritted his teeth. A pair of phoenix eyes continuously scanned the battlefield, looking for a good opportunity to break through the formation.

But the other party's formation was very tight, completely different from the Yellow Turban Army they had seen before, and there were almost no obvious flaws to be found. There doesn't seem to be a better way than to break through. But even in anger, Guan Yu knew that it was not a good choice to break through. The opponent's long halberd and big shield, strong bow and hard crossbow, obviously came prepared. Without enough space to accelerate, these knights lose their advantage, not even as good as ordinary foot soldiers.

What to do? Guan Yu was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat, and his face was flushed.

Sun Ce looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from a distance, and secretly sighed. In the end, he is still young, and he hasn't eaten enough after defeat. There are many kinds of refining of a famous general, one is the origin of family learning, not only can learn theory, but also practice step by step, and you can avoid detours. For example, Huangfu Song, such as his Sun Ce. They may have the opportunity to read military books and learn theories, but they do not have much practice, and they must continue to accumulate lessons and lessons in the battle formation and grow step by step. That's when you need a little luck, don't die before you become famous.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei obviously belong to the latter, they have strong personal ability, but they lack experience in commanding troops, so they can only accumulate slowly. Prior to this, their opponents were mainly the Yellow Turban Army, and the experience they could gain was limited, and it was normal for them to suddenly encounter him, the second generation of the general who opened the plug-in, and it was normal to be bored.

On heads-up, he has no certainty of victory, and when it comes to fighting in formation, he can second any of the three Liu Bei brothers, even if they go together, he is not afraid. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made an appointment with Guan Yu.

Only by knowing the other can we survive a hundred battles.

"Bonghyo, do you think there's a chance to play big?" Sun Ce was relaxed. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all surrounded, and the tricks he had prepared had not been used up yet, so of course he was qualified to be easy.

"It depends on Liu Bei's heart, whether life is important, or Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are important." Guo Jia is more relaxed. "General, with what you know about Liu Bei, what will he do?"

Sun Ce turned his head and looked at Xiao County. He knew that Liu Bei was standing there, and he was probably not in a good mood. But what Liu Bei would do, he really couldn't guess. Liu Bei's image of romance is very different from the historical image, and he is still very young, so he may not be the refined image in the history books. But one thing is certain, Liu Bei will never fight to the death.

"I want to ...... He must have begged for peace. Save your life first, and then figure it out. ”

"If he sues for peace, what is the general going to do with them?"

Sun Ce turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and after thinking about it carefully, there was really no good way. He knew that Liu Bei would not be willing to be subordinate, even if he surrendered, sooner or later he would choose another high branch, and maybe he would back. But if Liu Bei surrenders, it is not appropriate to kill him. The killing of prisoners was ominous, which was very detrimental to his reputation, and others did not dare to surrender to him in the future, and only one after another fierce battles greeted him.

"General, don't hesitate, attack." Guo Jia said faintly: "Kill them directly on the battle array, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to prevent future troubles." ”

Sun Ce pondered for a long time and nodded.
