Bo Gu Pi Dong.

The two armies faced each other, and the drums of war beat slowly and lowly, one after the other. The north wind blew tighter and tighter, and the people were chilled. The big war is imminent, and the soldiers on both sides are making final preparations, and no one dares to take it lightly.

Guo Jia sat on the newly built command platform, shaking a feather fan in one hand and a chess piece in the other, looking at Gu Hui with a smile.

"Let me?"

Gu Hui's face was pale, and his sideburns were wet. He smiled bitterly and said, "Sacrificial wine, I admit defeat." I don't have the same state of mind as you, and I still have the heart to play chess at this time. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Guo Jia put the chess pieces back and threw them in the chess box. "General Sun is not here, do you think we can't win?"

Gu Hui didn't say anything, but his eyes had already revealed his worry. Sun Ce led the cavalry to Qu County to reinforce the Elk family, but Liu He did not go to Chest County, but met them head-on. After receiving the news of the scouts, Guo Jia immediately changed the route of his march and set up a large camp at Bogupi, avoiding the danger of being assaulted by cavalry in the wilderness. Despite this, the situation is still not optimistic, Liu He's troops exceeded their imagination, not only nearly 4,000 cavalry, but also more than 20,000 foot soldiers, the total strength is more than twice as much as theirs, and reinforcements are still coming in a steady stream, and in two days it has increased by four or five thousand.

Gu Wei knew that these recruits were elite, from the beginning of the recruitment, he participated in the whole process, and knew how much effort Sun Ce had put into this recruit, and the battle of Shaobi not long ago also proved that these foot soldiers were worthy of the title of soldiers, but after all, they had just been formed, and the troops were far from enough, so he didn't know whether they could block Liu He's attack at all.

Guo Jia pulled him to play chess, and before he reached the middle game, he was defeated.

"Don't worry about the sacrificial wine?"

"It's useless to worry, but it's useless to worry, so it's better not to worry." Guo Jia put down the feather fan, tucked it in his sleeve, stared at the chess game for a while, and then picked up the chess box and exchanged it. "You and I will change the son, I'll see if I can get this game back."

Gu Hui glanced at Guo Jia, his lips moved, and the words that wanted to curse came to his mouth and swallowed back. Is this person wise and foolish or heartless, it's all at this time, and he still wants to play chess? He got up and walked to the command podium, leaning on the railing to look down at the array. More than 16,000 soldiers were in place, in an orderly manner, and it looked like a game of chess, only more balanced. In front of each small array, there was a chariot formation composed of baggage carts, and spearmen and sword and shield bearers sat behind the carts, some of them were closing their eyes to recuperate, and some were eating. Some of the crossbowmen adjusted the bowstring, and some moved their bodies, and they all looked relaxed. The cavalry under the command stand on the ground, saving horsepower, and only get on their horses when giving orders.

Looking at this quiet position, Gu Hui suddenly felt strange. How can a recruit who has been formed for less than half a year be so calm?

"Sacrificial wine, was the last Shaobi ambush fierce?" Gu Hui turned to look at Guo Jia and asked.

Guo Jia glanced up at him. "Aren't you in the camp, and you're still asking me?"

Gu Hui was a little embarrassed. The last time the ambush battle in Shaobi was a night battle, he didn't participate, he was just surprised when he heard the result, and he didn't think about it deeply, after all, the opponent was just some bandits, and it was not enough to win. But this time it was different, this time they had to face a regular army led by Liu He, and there were nearly 4,000 cavalry. If the soldiers are really confident and have the winning ticket in their hands, then of course it is great, but I am afraid that they are ignorant and fearless, and if the fight really starts for a while, the situation is not good, and they may be in chaos.

False self-confidence is more likely to collapse.

"Don't worry, although these soldiers are new soldiers, half of the tun commanders and Dubo are veterans, and the military marquis and above are all experienced soldiers, they know how to dispatch, we just wait and see. Play chess, play chess. ”

Gu Hui thought about it, knowing that it was useless for him to think too much, so he also sat back and re-observed the chess game.

Liu He held the reins of his horse, used his eyesight, and looked at the opposite position. He was still stationed in Bogupi not long ago, and he knew the terrain here, Suishui on the north side and Bogupi on the south side, which was a dead battle with water on three sides, except for the east side that could launch an attack, the other three sides could not attack.

The Chinese army was too far away, and he couldn't see whether there was Sun Ce's battle flag, he could only see the battle flag in the front. There were two battle flags in the front battle, he knew one of them, it was the battle flag of the captain Dong Xi under Sun Ce, and the other only knew the captain's surname Lu, who it was, he didn't know, it seemed to be a new one, and there was no such captain not long ago.

Could it be the new reinforcements?

Liu He felt a little uneasy in his heart. He kicked the horse's belly lightly and came to Chun Yuqiong. "General Chunyu, wait for you to make meritorious service."

Chun Yuqiong laughed and patted her chest nonchalantly. "Don't worry, general, compared with twice the number of troops, I am just employing people, and I will gnaw down this first formation. The future is terrifying, and we old decay are not dry meals. ”

Liu He smiled. "The general laughed, you are in the spring and autumn, who dares to say that you are old? Those of us juniors had the opportunity to watch the general command the battle, and we were fortunate to have three lives. Sun Ce committed suicide and formed such a death formation, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Sun Ce can be captured alive, Xuzhou Mu will not be enough to reward the general, and he will ask the general to take care of him at that time. ”

Chun Yuqiong is in a good mood. Sun Ce stood in battle with his back, and the cavalry had no place to play, so he could only copy from the back to prevent Sun Ce from wading into the water to escape, and the task of the main attack on the front fell on the foot soldiers. He had the foresight to give up the command of 1,000 Hu cavalry in exchange for 10,000 foot soldiers, and his strength was second only to the main general Liu He. If this battle can be won in the first battle, there will be no more people who will say that he has the credit for robbing Wen Chou.

"Please general, sweep the battle for me." Chun Yuqiong arched his hand, polite and confident.

Liu He saluted again and retreated to the Chinese army's main array. Halfway through, he glanced back at the position in the distance, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It was so easy to block Sun Ce, he always felt a little unreal.

The drums of war sounded, and Chun Yuqiong was ready to attack. Under the protection of 1,000 spearmen, sword and shield men, 2,000 crossbowmen slowly stepped forward, preparing to line up and carry out long-range strikes to cover the strong attack of the foot soldiers.

Lu Su heard the sound of war drums, kicked the horse's belly, came to the front of the formation, stood in front of everyone, took off his bow, mounted a hammering arrow, and quietly watched the enemy army getting closer and closer. When the opponent entered the land of an arrow, stopped advancing, and began to stand in formation, he raised his bow over the top, slowly lowered it, pulled the bow suddenly, and let go of the string.

The sound of the arrow left the string and let out a piercing roar, attracting the attention of countless people. Several sword and shield hands facing Lu Su clenched their shields and shrunk their bodies behind the shields, waiting for the muffled sound of the shields being shot. They are not worried, at a distance of seventy paces, it is easy to shoot, but it is difficult to shoot through the shield, as long as they dodge well, there is no danger to their lives at all, and it is even impossible to be injured.

The roar got closer and closer, and the arrow leaped seventy paces, and with a "bang", it shot through the shield. Sawdust flew, and the soldier behind the shield was shot before he could react, his front chest entered, and the back heart came out, he snorted, fell on his back, blood spilled from his mouth and nose, his eyes quickly dimmed, and he soon stopped breathing. The eyes were wide open, and they did not bare at death.

Looking at the shield that was pierced by an arrow and the companion who fell to the ground, the sword and shield bearers and spearmen next to them gasped in unison.

Seventy paces away, an arrow breaks the shield, how strong is this man's bow?

Lu Su put away his bow, looked at the strong crossbow captain who was about to give the order to attack, and smiled slightly. Although he was more than a hundred steps away, the strong crossbow captain still felt Lu Su's killing intent, and subconsciously took a step back, hiding behind the guard, and a cold sweat came out of his body.
