Twenty drummers beat the cowhide drum, and the majestic sound of war drums overwhelmed all the sounds at once, and spread throughout the battlefield.

Huang Zhong, Deng Zhan, and Dong Yu received the order, and they all responded by beating drums and quickly killed.

The blood crow battle flag waved, the front army of Huang Zhong's department advanced two hundred steps, dozens of Wugang cars were pushed to the front of the formation, turned the direction, connected from end to end, crossbowmen were in place, and a thousand sword shield hands and spearmen passed through the gap in Wugang's workshop, took position in front of Wugang's car, clenched the weapons in their hands, and half-squatted in front of Wugang's car, like a tiger crouching and about to pounce, staring at the Duan Xuan soldiers on the opposite side.

Duan Xuan sat on the back of the horse, pushed away the battle flag corners that pounced on his face from time to time with his hands, squinted his eyes, and looked at Huang Zhong's battle formation opposite.

He knew the blood crow, outside Licheng, he had seen this battle flag, and he also knew what Huang Zhong was good at. Right in front of him, Huang Zhong shot Yang Quan and more than a dozen knights, his archery skills were accurate, he was a rare fierce general, even if he met Lu Bu, he had the strength to fight.

But now that the two armies are fighting, not a competition between the two, Duan Xuan and Huang Zhong are separated by more than three hundred steps, and he doesn't have to worry about Huang Zhong's archery. What he was puzzled about was the Wugang car in front of Huang Zhong's formation. He knew the power of Wu Gangche, and in front of Xu Rong, Zhang Liao had repeatedly stated. Although the relationship was bad, Duan Xuan believed what Zhang Liao said. It is true that Zhang Liao is a native of Bingzhou, and it is not false that he has a bad record of betraying the master, and it is possible to deliberately harm him, but Zhang Liao is not a cowardly person, he said that the power of Wugangche is amazing, and it should not be wrong.

Why was Fan Chou able to quickly break through Sun Ce's front army position? Could it be that the Wugang car is really useless, or although it is powerful, it cannot last? This kind of thing is not uncommon, everything has a degree, and shooting fast often means that it can't last.

But he didn't think that Sun Ce was this kind of person, but felt that Fan Chou's fool might have been fooled. Xu Rong did not immediately agree to Fan Chou's request, but waited for a while before giving the order, most likely with this in mind. With Xu Rong's experience in using soldiers, he must be more reliable than Fan Chou.

Xu Rong killed so many people, there shouldn't be any collusion with Sun Ce, right? But why did he take the initiative to give up Wuguandao and cut off contact with Chang'an? After the two massacres of the city, it was impossible for the Xiliang people to gain the support of the Nanyang people, so they could only rely on force, and if they wanted to rely on force, they had to unite around Xu Rong, otherwise they would soon be defeated by Sun Ce.

Xu Rong should have had the idea, right? Duan Xuan pondered Xu Rong's thoughts and ordered to stop advancing. Xu Rong's order to him was to contain Huang Zhong, not to break Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong pressed up, even if his task was completed, there was no need to take the initiative to find trouble. Before the truth is known, the most important thing is to preserve strength, there are soldiers in hand, no matter who can do anything to him.

Only Fan Chou, that fool, would obey Xu Rongyan. Even if this battle is won, his descendants will also suffer heavy losses, and it will be difficult to recover their strength in the short term. Sun Ce suddenly mobilized so many men and horses, maybe he was encircling him, hoping that he could hold on.

Just when Duan Xuan was guessing wildly, Dong Yu had already rushed out, cutting off Fan Chou's retreat at once.

At the pre-war meeting, Dong Yu received an order to deceive and defeat Fan Chou, so that Fan Chou could quickly break through his position and face the Chinese army directly, and the Chinese army would carry out the real blocking mission. Dong Yu accepted the order, but he was not convinced. Speaking of which, he is also an old general under Sun Ce, as early as when Sun Ce formed his own people, he was Huang Zhong's personal guard. Recommended by Huang Zhong, he became a lieutenant and led an army alone, and his rapid promotion once made many people envious.

However, his good fortune seemed to end here, and in the next few battles, he failed to make a decent contribution, and even did not get the opportunity to attack. This time, it was easy to become a former army, but he was asked to defeat by fraud, and to be honest, he was a little unhappy. If you are not happy, you will not be happy, it is not okay to disobey military orders, Dong Yu has been holding his breath, wanting to prove himself.

Sun Ce said that compared to defeating the opponent, the requirements for fraud are higher, and if you are not careful, it will evolve into real defeat. Among the various departments, your subordinates have the most students in the martial arts hall, this is not only a test for you, but also a test for them, see if they can combine the art of war taught by Yin Saijiu with practice, so that the whole army can be like an arm and a finger, run as expected, defeat without panic, retreat without chaos, and can make a comeback at any time. If you can do that, you have unlimited room to rise.

Dong Yu felt justified and accepted the task. Facts have proved that the quality of the students of the Martial Arts Hall is good, they have perfectly realized the tactics of deception, it seems that they are fighting very badly, and they are losing and retreating, but in fact, they are orderly and the losses are very small. Not only was the morale not bruised, but it became more vigorous, and everyone was holding back the fire in their bellies, waiting to slaughter the Xiliang soldiers, avenge the township party in Nanxiang and Shunyang, and justify their own name.

Now's your chance.

After withdrawing from their positions, they rested for a while, drank a bowl of steaming beef soup, replenished their arrows, adjusted their weapons, and were now in high spirits and full of fighting spirit. As soon as he gave the order, he rushed out of the battle formation and rushed straight behind Fan Chou.

"Quick! Fast! Dong Yu held the war knife and shouted repeatedly.

The guard battalion wearing heavy armor and holding a thousand troops followed closely, shouting and killing, thousands of troops were raised, the cold light flashed, and several Xiliang soldiers who were left behind were cut to the ground, and they didn't even have a chance to fight back.

The servant led the ox and pulled the Wugang car to rush into the position. Before Wu Gang's car could stop, the crossbowmen on the car pulled the crossbow machine and shot a rain of arrows, knocking down more than a dozen knights who had turned their horses' heads and were about to rush to the ground. The arrow roared out, instantly piercing the body of the knight and the war horse, the knight screamed and fell to the ground, the war horse screamed, rushed forward more than a dozen steps, fell to the ground, and the huge body almost hit the Wugang car.

"Get on the arrow! Get on the arrow! The crossbowman roared as he impulsed another powerful crossbow forward and pulled the crossbow again. The upper archer grabbed an arrow, skillfully filled the arrow slot, the winder pedaled the arm with his feet, and the hands wearing cowhide gloves pulled the bowstring, roared, the whole body was forced, the body was almost vacated, and the crossbow machine "snapped" and smoothly entered the position.

Dong Yu led 2,000 people and 200 Wugang cars. Because he wanted to be defeated, Dong Yu did not put all the Wugang cars in front of the battle, and half of them were left behind. In addition to the dozens of Wugang cars that were overturned by the Xiliang soldiers, he now had more than one hundred and thirty vehicles, which suddenly outflanked from both wings, quickly cutting off Fan Chou's retreat, and forming a circle formation between Fan Chou and Wang Fang.

Sixty or seventy Wugang vehicles fired three times in a row, knocking down more than 100 people.

Fan Chou heard the exclamation, looked back, and couldn't help but be surprised. He wanted to stop and counterattack, but then gave up again, and ordered the herald to blow the trumpet and ask Xu Rong for help, while he accelerated his speed to get out of the range of Wu Gang's car and rushed to the forward position, striving to break through Sun Ce's Chinese army as quickly as possible. As for Dong Yu, the general of the defeated army, let Wang Fang deal with it. Once the retreat, other soldiers will mistakenly think that they have lost because of the unknown situation, and in the blink of an eye, it may affect their morale and form a rout. Moreover, the cavalry charge is also advantageous for advancing and retreating, and if it loses speed, the cavalry will lose its greatest advantage and become the key target of the crossbowmen.

People can have heavy armor, but war horses do not, and in the face of Wugang chariots, which are known for their intensive shooting, war horses are obviously inferior to foot soldiers.

The situation was changing rapidly, and Fan Chou couldn't think too much, so he rushed through Dong Yu's position with his personal guard horse, entered the battlefield, and disappeared into the rolling crowd.
