Just as they were about to approach the pontoon bridge, a drum suddenly sounded in Huang Zhong's camp, followed by dozens of drums in unison, and the drums were earth-shattering and made people's eardrums hurt. In the blink of an eye, a piercing roar sounded, and hundreds of arrows leaped out of the camp and swooped down on the enemy approaching the pontoon.

The moment they heard the sound of the drums, the Nanyang soldiers who were about to attack subconsciously stopped and raised the shields in their hands, but they were still a beat slower, the arrow rain was dense and urgent, and several county soldiers who were a little slower fell to the ground with arrows and let out a miserable scream, which suddenly broke the calm, causing a lot of panic, and there were some flaws in the formation that originally covered each other.

"Kill—" A figure leaped out from behind the cart, raised his knife and shouted, striding and running.

"Kill-" More than 100 people responded in unison, rushed out of the battle formation, stepped on the pontoon bridge, like a tiger descending the mountain, and rushed to the Nanyang soldiers who were defending in formation.

The soldiers of Nanyang County, who were doing a tentative attack, had just been attacked by a rain of arrows and injured several people, and it was when they were so nervous that their legs were weak, when they suddenly saw the opponent rushing towards them, they were in a mess for a while, some got up to fight, some wanted to form a formation, and some turned around and wanted to run, Qu Junhou, who was in charge of the command, shouted to stop it, and opened his eyes wide to check the situation, but his reaction was too slow, and before he could make a decision, the two sides had already contacted.

The high and low are immediate.

The soldiers of Huang Zhong's army, who were the first to rush into the battle formation of Nanyang County, did not like to fight, they swung their swords and cut down several opponents who stood in front of them, and then took a big stride and rushed towards the crossbowmen behind them. Because their companions had already rushed to the front, the crossbowmen did not shoot, but only held their bows and arrows, ready to shoot at any time, and suddenly saw someone approaching, and they raised their bows one after another, but did not shoot.

In the darkness of the night, they could not distinguish between the approaching figures and friend and foe, and it was not until the distance between the two sides was shortened to twenty paces that the strong crossbow commander realized that the situation was not good, and gave the order to shoot.

"Whoosh!" The arrow is off the string, and it is coming in an instant.

The soldiers who charged into battle had already prepared, their reinforced shields in front of them, and several people covered each other, bowing their heads and running wildly. The arrows hit the shield with a thud. After a dense rain of arrows, the sound on the shield stopped, and the dense formation suddenly dispersed, rushing towards the crossbowmen who were loading their arrows and preparing for a second wave of attacks.

After only three shots, the crossbowmen of the county soldiers who were counter-assaulted fired only one shot, and were forced to face the enemy who wielded their swords. The crossbowman's task is to attack from a distance, and once he is close to the opponent, he is almost powerless to fight back, and dozens of people are cut off in the blink of an eye. The foot soldiers scattered and rushed into the crowd, slashing and killing indiscriminately, and a few of them quickly rushed forward and rushed in front of the strong crossbow captain.

Wen Ping, who was watching the battle, secretly screamed badly, and immediately ordered the foot soldiers to step forward to reinforce the crossbowmen. The opponent's target is not the tentative attack of the sword and shield bearers at all, but these crossbowmen. He commanded a thousand troops, with only 300 crossbowmen, and if he was badly damaged, he would lose his long-range attack capability in the next battle.

With the sound of drums, the soldiers of Nanyang County, who were ready to respond, immediately stepped forward. The soldiers who were chasing the crossbowmen saw it, shouted, turned around and ran.

"Withdraw! Remove! ”

The soldiers of Nanyang County were in hot pursuit, but they were hindered by the crossbowmen who were staggered and killed, and they took a step slower, and watched their opponents retreat to the river, and after retreating along the pontoon bridge, they overturned the pontoon bridge with their hands, and some even dragged away the wooden planks of the pontoon bridge. The soldiers of Nanyang County shouted angrily and chased after each other, trying to recapture the pontoon bridge.

At this moment, the roar of arrows sounded again in the opposite car formation, and a more dense rain of arrows galloped forward, and the formation of the Nanyang County soldiers who chased to the river was not strict enough, and they were immediately hit head-on, and dozens of people fell to the ground with arrows.

"Formation! Formation! Wen Ping was so anxious that he yelled loudly, the herald passed the order out, and the drums sounded, but the Nanyang soldiers were still in chaos. They had been stunned by the successive attacks, and they couldn't even hear the shouts of Qu Junhou beside them, let alone the sound of war drums a hundred paces away. By the time they reacted, half of them had already fallen under the rain of arrows, and the rest couldn't hold on any longer, regardless of Qu Junhou's stopping, they turned around and ran.

"Knock knock! Knock knock! The drums in the camp began again, the dense rain of arrows stopped, and the camp returned to silence, leaving only the wounded soldiers of Nanyang County on the other side of the river to let out a scream.

That is, the kung fu of a meal, Huang Zhong fought a successful counterattack, killing and injuring more than 200 Nanyang County soldiers, and even destroyed most of the crossbowmen under Wen Ping's command, but the price he paid was negligible and negligible.

Wen Ping was shocked, and cold sweat was dripping. Although he was young, he had experienced a lot of war. I have seen the Yellow Turban Army, I have also seen the Northern Army of the imperial court to quell the rebellion, and I have even witnessed Sun Jian's troops twice. There is no doubt that Sun Jian's troops have the strongest combat effectiveness, not only far surpassing the Yellow Turban Army, but also stronger than the Northern Army led by Zhu Jun, but he has a feeling that the opponent in the pitch-black camp opposite is no less than Sun Jian's troops.

Could it be that I am not facing Sun Ce's right wing, but Sun Ce's Chinese army?

Wen Ping did not dare to delay, and immediately sent a herald to report to Lou Gui. The opponent was strong, and more than half of my crossbowmen suffered casualties, so it was difficult to organize an effective attack in a short period of time, let alone break through the opponent's camp.

Lou Gui received the news, although he was a little surprised, but he was not worried. He sent Wen Ping to attack was originally a temptation, but now that the goal has been achieved, what is it for him to lose two or three hundred people, and try out the position of Sun Ce's main force, this price is too worthwhile. He immediately ordered Wen Ping on the left to keep attacking and contain the opponent, and Zong Cheng on the right to form a formation to defend and protect the right flank of the Chinese army, and then ordered a thousand Chinese troops to attack Sun Ce's Chinese army.

Before going to war, Lou Gui had already inquired very clearly, Sun Ce claimed to have 4,000 people, but the strongest combat effectiveness was only more than 1,000 people left by Sun Jian. Since these people are opposite Wenpin, then Sun Ce's Chinese army has nothing to fear, he not only has a sufficient advantage in troops, but also concentrates several troops with the best equipment and the strongest combat effectiveness, and should be able to forcibly break through Sun Ce's defense line.

His only enemy is time. Once dawn, Yuan Shu knew that Sun Ce was under attack, and he would definitely rush to support. He had to end the fight before dawn or give up.

"He Jun, it's time for you to send a message to the tribes in the manor, and order them to attack Sun Ce with me."

He Xian bowed his hand and bowed. "Obey Lou Jun's order." After saying that, he turned his horse's head, and under the escort of several tribes, he left Lou Gui's battle formation and ran to the southeast corner of the manor. The trilogue raised the torch and shook it vigorously, and after a short time, the torch was also lit up on the top of the watchtower of the manor, and he reacted.

Immediately afterwards, the gate of the manor was opened with a bang, the suspension bridge was lowered, and hundreds of people rushed across the suspension bridge to kill the stone throwing machine position, and hundreds more turned north and killed Sun Ce's Chinese army along the moat river.

"Kill Sun Ce, reward a thousand gold-"
