The rain of arrows that rushed to the sky seemed to be a swarm, but in fact it was orderly.

The strong bow has a fast rate of fire, a large number, the best range is sixty to eighty steps, four hundred people can shoot four or five hundred arrows in one breath, there is no dead angle on the twenty-step mountain road, and the bow is strong enough, unless you are wearing fish scale armor, ordinary armor can not be completely blocked, even if you don't die, you will be injured.

The hard crossbow has a fast rate of fire and a small number, with an optimal range of 120 to 160 steps, and a hit rate of more than 70% within 100 steps. Among the first group of people who rushed down, two military marquis and four Dubo were the key targets, and four people were shot down at the first time, and the remaining two were also shot by continuous arrows so that they couldn't raise their heads, and could only shoot behind heavy shields, not daring to show their heads. The captain and captain are also in the target, and people are constantly being hit by arrows.

Although the county soldiers who rushed down the mountain were quite numerous and their fighting spirit was also very high, this high fighting spirit was not because of strength, but because of stupidity. In the face of the dense rain of arrows, the people who rushed to the front could not cover each other because the formation was not strict enough, many people fell to the ground with arrows, and the people behind could not figure out the situation.

Originally, there was still a bit of a charge, but now it doesn't even have that appearance anymore, and it has become a live target.

They are also shooting arrows, but the range is not as far as the other party, the accuracy is not as high as the other party, and they cannot aim accurately when running, and the lethality is far from the same. A few strong crossbowmen were given priority attention and were quickly eliminated, and the archers were completely reduced to ornamentation due to lack of range.

A few sword and shield men reacted relatively quickly, raised their shields in time, rushed through the arrow array, and rushed across the wooden bridge over the Yougao River. However, in the face of the strong formation of sword and shield men and spearmen, they did not have the courage to attack, and instinctively leaned together, wanting to flee back. But the retreat was cut off, and they had no way to escape, so they could only cower in the corner of the battlefield.

In just a few words, dozens of people fell on the opposite hillside, blocking the mountain road tightly, and the rest of the people stood outside the range, huddled together, but no one dared to step forward easily. Several people in front of the formation hesitated and argued, some wanted to flee back, some wanted to surrender, just when they hesitated, two soldiers came out of the ranks, one left and one right, flanked the past, raised their swords in their hands, cut down a few people, and the rest of the souls scattered, threw their weapons, and knelt down to surrender.

Calm returned to the valley, quieter than before the battle. The position here was as usual, the sword and shield men tied the prisoners with ropes around their waists, and the crossbowmen replenished their arrows or changed their bowstrings, in an orderly manner, but the opposite position was dead silent, and the previous noise had been blown away by the spring breeze.

The wind is not cold, but the heart is cold.

Shen Zhi was surprised. A glimpse of the whole leopard showed that the combat effectiveness of Sun Ce's department far exceeded his imagination. He had always had reservations about the authenticity of Shen You commanding the army to defeat Xu Gong instead of Sun Ce, but seeing this scene, he knew that it should be true. If you change to yourself, it is not a problem to command such an elite to defeat twice the number of Wu Junjun soldiers.

Shen Zhi looked at Sheng Xian. Sheng Xian opened his mouth, his eyes straightened, and he was completely stupid. Even if he has a limited understanding of military affairs, after all, he has been a Taishou and has seen the drills of the county soldiers, compared with these elites in front of him, those people are no different from children's games. It took Sheng Xian a long time to come back to his senses, secretly glanced at Shen Zhi, and invariably showed a wry smile.

The battle on Mount Xiajia also ended quickly. Guo Yi didn't expect Sun Ce to appear here at all, only arranged some guards, and in the face of Dong Xi, who was bent on making meritorious contributions, they had no resistance, and soon abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Dong Xi was very unpleasant, complaining that these people were too unbeaten, surrendered too quickly, and his warm-up was not over yet.

The wooden bridge over the Demon Gao River was demolished, and the soldiers cut down trees from the slopes on both sides and erected a barracks, three in front and back, one end of which stretched to the valley and the other side to Guling Lake, cutting off the only land route from Guling to the outside world.

The situation was abruptly reversed, and the impregnable Guling became a cage from which there was nowhere to escape.

Sun Ce sat on the boulder, maintaining his previous posture, motionless, as if he had not heard it.

——

As night fell, the banks of the Yougao River were lit with fires, and both sides maintained a high degree of vigilance. The lower part of the mountain prevents the opponent from breaking through, and the lower part of the mountain prevents the opponent from attacking. The two sides were so close that no one dared to be careless.

In the distance, the head of Guling City is also flickering with firelight, and it is heavily guarded, and even if you are a few hundred steps away, you can feel the panic in the city.

Sheng Xian crouched on the desk, holding a pen in one hand and pulling his hair in the other. He had already soaked the ink several times, but he hadn't written a word. He has done a lot of articles, but today is the first time I have written this article, and I don't know how to put pen to paper.

Shen Zhi sat in the tent, looking through the tent door and looking at Guling City in the distance. He also knew that Sheng Xian's article was difficult to do, so he didn't dare to disturb him, let alone help. This is Sheng Xian's own hurdle, and he can only step by himself. He was more concerned with the war.

If Sheng Xian's article can satisfy Sun Ce within three days, he will go to Wucheng to take up his post. Near Wucheng are Shimen Mountain and Baihu Mountain, and his opponents are Yan Baihu and others. He was originally very confident, Yan Baihu had some ability, and he knew it very well. Even if Yan Baihu didn't give him face, he could defeat Yan Baihu with dignity. But after seeing today's battle, he felt that he was thinking too optimistically.

Defeating Yan Baihu is not an achievement, and whether he can play well is the question. If you want to get ahead under Sun Ce, you can't just defeat Yan Baihu, at most, you can only be a captain, and you can't even mix with a captain, let alone take charge like Shen You.

was already a wrong step, if you don't redouble your efforts, how can you catch up with Shen You.

This brief encounter was a learning opportunity. Although the battle during the day lasted for a short time, and after being beaten with a stick, Guo Yi did not attack again, but it revealed a lot of information, and there were too many skills worth pondering. The only problem is that the time is too short, just like a master duel, and before the onlookers can see clearly, the winner is already decided.

"How do you do this article?" Sheng Xian slapped the pen on the case, anxious. "I won't do it!"

Shen Zhi woke up in shock and looked at Sheng Xian, his heart full of sympathy. He had known Sheng Xian for several years, and it was the first time he had seen Sheng Xian so embarrassed, even more embarrassed than when he was locked up by Xu Gong. However, he knew in his heart that Sheng Xian was completely forced by the situation, and he was actually not convinced. If it was him, he would not surrender to Sun Ce at all, and the Sheng family and their husband and wife together had nearly a hundred people, the price was too heavy, and Sheng Xian couldn't afford it, so he could only bow to Sun Ce.

He didn't doubt that Sun Ce would do this. Guo Yi and others' behavior of blocking Sun Ce's entry angered Sun Ce, and Sun Ce wanted to kill people. Sheng Xian's article is done well, and there is still a chance to live, Guo Yi, Wang Sheng and others don't even have a chance to make a fuss, and they will definitely die, especially Wang Sheng.

He didn't understand why Wang Sheng would do this.

"Ah Weng, you said that Wang Boming (Wang Sheng) has such a good relationship with the Sun family, why should he oppose General Sun?"

Sheng Xian glanced at Shen Zhi, and was very unhappy with Shen Zhi's attitude. He was silent for a moment. "Birds and beasts are different. Sun's father and son slaughtered celebrities and bullied the world, Wang Rui and Zhang Zhi were innocently killed, and the three Zhou brothers died one after another. ”

"I heard that General Sun's seizure of land and property was to solve the land annexation and reduce the number of displaced people, and he ......"

"The land of the family is not all taken by cunning, so why should it be given to him?" Sheng Xian said angrily: "Your Shen family is willing to hand over their land for nothing?" ”

Shen Zhi looked at Sheng Xian, and waited for a while before saying softly: "Ah Weng may have heard it wrong, General Sun didn't ask us to make friends in vain, he was just exchanging." ”

Sheng Xian was stunned.
