Sun Ce felt reasonable. But it is not difficult to judge Tai Shici's goal, what is difficult is time.

Zu Lang's news was sent three days ago, when Tai Shi Ci had already left Tongguan Mountain, and now it is likely that he has reached the other side of the river. Three hundred elites, it may not be useful to fight in formation, but it is more than enough to steal the camp. Set fire in the dark night and take advantage of the chaos to enter, with the martial arts of Tai Shi Ci, there are really not many people who can stop him. The large battalion on the opposite side has limited strength, and Sun Jing is not a veteran general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, so he may not be able to control the situation if he is suddenly attacked.

Sun Ce looked up at the outside of the tent, it was dim, and it was about to get dark.

What to do? Sun Ce's brows furrowed.

"I have already asked people to cross the river and remind Sun Jun to be vigilant, so as not to be taken advantage of by Tai Shi Ci, but I am worried that Tai Shi Ci is not alone, and there are other people who are planning him, but we have not received the news yet. If that's the case, Sun Jun will be dangerous. ”

Sun Ce turned around and went out of the tent, looked up at the sky, and found that the sky was not as dark as he imagined, only to the west of the camp was Hucheng Mountain, the mountain blocked the sun, the camp fell into darkness, but the sky was very bright, and there was still a while before the real darkness.

"Zhongkang, Yi Cong Battalion assembles and prepares to cross the river. Send someone to inform Gan Ning and Ling Cao and ask them to prepare for the night crossing. ”

Xu Chu answered and turned around to arrange. At the sound of an order, the servants came out of their tents and lined up in front of the tent. Yu flipped out and looked at this posture. "General, do you want to go to the rescue in person?"

"The most dangerous thing is tonight, Tai Shi Ci is brave and cunning, I have to do it. In case Tai Shi Ci attacks, I can still block it, and even if the situation is not right, I can save my uncle. ”

"Then I'll accompany the general."

Sun Ce looked at Yu Chuan and agreed. "Fengxiao stayed in the camp, and you crossed the river with me."

Without any words, Sun Ce did a good job of dividing the labor, Guo Jia and Pang Tong stayed in the camp, and he crossed the river with Yu. Considering the danger of crossing at night, Gan Ning and Ling Cao did not come back after crossing the river, Guo Jia not only had to guard against Guo Yi and others from rushing to camp, but also had to pay attention to whether there were any boats venturing into Guling Lake at any time. Whether it's delivering food or picking people up, this is not what Sun Ce wants to see. He was short on time, and it was a waste to spend an extra day.

Although he acted quickly, it was still dark when Sun Ce boarded the ship. The surface of the river was dark and dreary, only the sound of the water could be heard, and the soldiers rowed hard, and Ling Cao stood at the bow of the boat with a torch, his eyes widened, trying to distinguish the terrain. There are rocks in the river, and once they hit the rocks, they may sink the ship and fall into the water, and then be washed away by the turbulent river, and whether they can survive can only depend on their character.

Sun Ce's heart rose to his throat. It's false to say that he is not afraid, manpower is sometimes poor, and if he really wants to fall into the river, even Gan Ning will not be able to protect it, not to mention that his water nature is not as good as Gan Ning. Swimming is fine under normal circumstances, but in this case it is not at all certain.

Fortunately, Ling Cao often travels to and from the other side of the river these days, and with the faint black shadow, he has reached the other side of the river without danger. Seeing that he was about to land, there was a sudden scream in front, and the helmsman at the stern of the boat in front of him turned over and fell into the water, and the waves were gone, and the boat lost control, and was washed away by the river, and turned sideways, and the tail hit the stones, making a dull loud noise, and the soldiers on the boat immediately screamed.

In a few moments, another ship sailed by, and although the captain in charge shouted loudly and tried to slow down, it could not stop in time, and crashed into the middle of the ship in front of it, and the boat shook, and several more people fell overboard. After stopping its advance, the warship could not withstand the impact of the river and could not suppress its deviation. The two waiters each instructed their men to adjust the posture of the boat, and the soldiers paddled hard, but they still couldn't suppress the situation, and people kept falling into the water.

The darkness amplified the fear, the chaos was rapidly expanding, Ling Cao shouted repeatedly, but he still couldn't control the situation.

Sun Ce's scalp was numb, and he was really afraid of something. His heart was beating faster and faster like a war drum, and streams of blood rushed to his head, and his temples were pounding. He listened attentively, and before he could tell what it was, Yu Fu suddenly shouted: "Don't argue, don't argue, there is a crossbowman on the other side." The sword and shield hand holds the shield to cover, and the bow shooter comes forward to suppress, don't panic. ”

Before the sound fell, an arrow broke through the wind, Yu turned over and lowered his side, and the arrow shot at his crown, and fell into the river with the crown.

Sun Ce suddenly realized. He knew what those strange noises were, someone was firing arrows on the shore, and the helmsman of the boat in front of him should have been killed by a hidden arrow, and then fell into the water. It was the first ship, and this ship was across the river and could not dock, and the ships behind it would be affected.

The other party is a master, not only good archery, but also very accurate timing.

Tai Shi Ci!

No wonder people keep falling into the water, it was all Tai Shi Ci who used archery. He is a sharpshooter, with a hundred shots at fifty paces, a torch lit on the ship, and everyone on board is his live target, but anyone who has the opportunity to control the situation will become his target.

That's the power of a sniper. Sun Ce has been using this tactic, and of course he knows the lethality of this tactic. If they follow the rhythm of the other party, they will not have a chance to fight back before the opponent's arrows are finished, and more people and boats will be crowded together, and the boat may capsize.

It is imperative to disrupt the rhythm of the other side and attract firepower.

Sun Ce gritted his teeth, patted Yu Turn's shoulder, motioned him to step back, walked to the bow of the boat, raised a torch, illuminated his face, and raised his voice: "Is it Tai Shici on the other side?" Sun Ce is here. ”

There was a dead silence on the opposite shore, and after a while, a dense rain of arrows shot over, Xu Chu raised his shield in time to protect Sun Ce's front, and Guo Wu and Xie Guanglong protected the two wings. There was a sharp sound in Tintin Dangdang, and at least twenty or thirty arrows were fired at the shield, and sparks flew in all directions.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Ling Cao beat the war drums, and under the guidance of the war drums, the two boats in front of him regained their composure and straightened the rudder again. Sensing their attempt, the rain of arrows dispersed again and fired at the waiters and helmsmen on both ships. But the soldiers on the ship were prepared, and the sword and shield bearers stood at the bow of the ship, and formed a shield wall with their shields to block the arrows of the warriors behind them, and the crossbowmen began to return fire, and the sound of strings and breaking wind was incessant.

Yu Chuan reminded behind Sun Ce: "General, this can't be done, since there are people on the other side, they won't let us land smoothly." ”

Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. "Don't worry, Gan Ning knows how to do it."

Yu turned around and saw that several boats behind him had turned off their torches and were heading down the river. He was so close that he could faintly see a shadow that was difficult for anyone on the shore to notice. But at this time, Gan Ning's courage is really big enough.

Sun Ce stood at the bow of the ship, holding a shield in one hand and a torch in the other, showing his presence and attracting the attention of the other side. Xie Kuan and Deng Xin knelt on the bow of the boat with one leg, holding a crossbow in their hands, ready to shoot, the boat was getting closer and closer to the riverbank, Xie Kuan and Deng Xin pulled the crossbow machine almost at the same time, and the two crossbow arrows galloped away and disappeared into the darkness.
