These vanguard troops brought by Sun Ce are all veterans who have followed him for two or three years under his command, and they can be regarded as the elite of the elite.

Although he was ambushed by Yuan Yao, there was some demoralization collapse, but under Sun Ce's call, he quickly calmed down.

After all, this ambush was different from the last time in Danyang County, the last time the army was closer, it was in the form of a phalanx to pursue Yuan Yao, and the personnel were closer when they were ambushed.

This time, however, the road was narrow, the ranks were relatively long, and it was only the higher part of the ranks that lost command and the morale of the army collapsed.

In the middle and rear of the ranks, most of the soldiers were still in a state of confusion, and as long as there were generals to guide them quickly, they could still quickly restore the morale of the army.

Sun Ce was the backbone of these people, and under Sun Ce's raised arms and shouted, those people soon regained their composure, and then Sun Ce guided these people and began to retreat to the rear.

Yuan Yao's soldiers and horses quickly rushed out from both sides, but with Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's men in charge of interception, it was not so easy for them to pursue them.

After all, some of the soldiers and horses who ambushed Sun Ce this time were also remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, and the combat experience of these people was not so rich, and in the face of Sun Ce's army, there were still some disadvantages.

Fortunately, relying on the command of Tai Shici and others, these people can be suppressed steadily.

Yuan Yao, who was on the hillside, did not need to risk his life and personally led people to charge.

He only had to wait a little longer, until the shouts and killings from both sides of the road gradually stopped, and then slowly and leisurely descended from the hillside to the road to check the situation on the battlefield.

Liu Ye followed Yuan Yao's side and muttered slowly.

"These newcomers' archery skills don't seem to be very good, just a few rounds of arrow shooting, not many people hit."

"Yes, these people are the remnants of some Yellow Turban Army, where can they have the opportunity to practice archery, it's good to be able to shoot like this."

Yuan Yao glanced at Liu Ye and said.

"That's right, if you want to shoot a bow and arrow, it's impossible without a few years of practice."

"It would be nice to have crossbow arrows, just pull a few triggers and shoot arrows with enough force. You don't need to practice much, you can become a master of archery. ”

Liu Ye muttered again.

"Crossbow arrows, no. You can only shoot one at a time, and if you have a repeater, it will be more useful. ”

"Repeater?"

Liu Ye was startled, as if it was the first time he heard this kind of thing, and he suddenly became interested.

"Master, what is a repeater?"

"Huh? Don't you know? ”

Yuan Yao was stunned, Liu Ye in history was the person who proposed the thunderbolt for Cao Wei, and he should know very well about these mechanical instruments.

And Yuan Yao can also understand from the usual communication with Liu Ye that this guy is very interested in these weapons and tools, and often studies these things in the army.

I didn't even know about the repeater.

However, Yuan Yao thought about it carefully, this repeater was invented by Zhuge Liang, and it is estimated that Zhuge Liang was still a teenage hairy child at this time, where could he invent a repeater.

So Liu Ye and they don't know what this thing is, and they can understand it.

It's just that after seeing that Liu Ye was very curious about the matter of the repeater, Yuan Yao also explained to him by the way.

"The repeater is a bow that can be fired continuously, and it can fire about ten arrows at a time!"

"Ten arrows! Master, is there really such a thing? ”

Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed a look of horror on his face.

It was as if he had heard something he couldn't believe, let alone ten arrows, even two arrows fired at the same time, and he had never seen it.

Yuan Yao smiled bitterly, revealing an unfathomable look.

"It's true, if you're interested, I can tell you the principle, you can study it yourself, if you don't want to study it, I guess, you should wait another twenty or thirty years to be able to see it."

Yuan Yao didn't even want to tell Liu Ye, let alone firing ten arrows in a row, even a crossbow with fifty arrows in a row, but what he said now was too appalling, and he was really worried that Liu Ye would think he was bragging.

However, the reason why he told Liu Ye about this was because Liu Ye himself was interested in these things, and if he had some ideas to understand, maybe he would be able to study a little more and study this Zhuge repeater decades in advance.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if Liu Ye can't study the Zhuge Repeater, as long as he can control some skills, when the real Zhuge Repeater comes out in the future, it will be easier for Liu Ye to disassemble and imitate.

After hearing Yuan Yao say this, Liu Ye suddenly showed surprise on his face.

"Please also ask the master to solve the doubts of the apprentice."

"Okay, when this battle is over, I'll draw a sketch with you, and tell you the principle of the repeater when the time comes, as for whether you can make it, it's up to you."

"Okay, good, great, Master, as long as you can tell me the principle, I will definitely make it for you."

In addition to being excited, Liu Ye had completely forgotten about other things, and was already thinking about what the so-called repeater looked like.

By the time Yuan Yao returned to the battlefield, the battle here was basically over.

Only a few remnants remained, and they were still resisting.

This is also because Yuan Yao has explained before that if he can keep a live mouth, he will try to keep a live mouth.

Therefore, when facing some remnants, they will basically not be wiped out, as long as they choose to surrender, Tai Shici and others will try their best to accept the surrender.

This is why the battle has been stalemate, and it has not completely ended.

However, after entering the end, the battle did not need to be personally commanded by Tai Shi Ci, and when he saw Yuan Yao coming, he hurriedly came over to report the situation to Yuan Yao.

"Ziyi, how's the battle going? Have you caught that Sun Ce? ”

Yuan Yao is most concerned about Sun Ce, if he can catch Sun Ce, the entire Jiangdong can be calmed, and if the Jiangdong matter is resolved earlier, he will have his hands free to wrestle with Cao Cao, Lu Bu and others.

Hearing Yuan Yao ask about Sun Ce, Tai Shici's face turned red and he was a little embarrassed.

"Childe, Ziyi is incompetent, let that Sun Ce run away."

"Ran away?!"

Yuan Yao frowned, then relaxed.

"Ran away, ran away, anyway, I didn't expect to be able to catch him in this big battle, if it was so easy to catch him, he wouldn't be worthy of being called Jiangdong Xiaobawang."

"What about the casualties of the two armies?"

After learning about Sun Ce's affairs, Yuan Yao quickly talked about the casualties of the soldiers.

For this question, Tai Shici was quite confident and began to answer for Yuan Yao.
