Sun Ce climbed up the steps and looked down at the battlefield on the railing. The sun rose in the east, and the bright sunlight shone on the battlefield, shining on the armor of the soldiers of the two armies lined up. On the weapons, the cold light flashed and murderous intent. The Jiangdong Army was neat and the formation was neat, like a knife cutting and axe cutting, which was unbreakable, adding three points of confidence. In comparison, the Liaodong Army on the opposite side was much inferior. Not only was the equipment inferior, the formation was not intact, but the spirit was also a little weak. It was obviously people stacked with people, and the positions were covered, but there was no confidence in winning.

Sun Ce was very satisfied. Yesterday's battle had a significant impact on the morale of both sides. The Liaodong army was underdeveloped and was suppressed by its own side.

"What's the change?" Sun Ce raised his hand, blocked the direct sunlight, squinted his eyes and looked closely, but failed to do so. Half of Gongsun Du's position was hidden in the shadow of the mountain, and it was not clear.

"The formation is very thick." Sun Shangxiang said: "I have also dug a lot of trenches from the bottom of the mountain to the beach. Gongsun Du has to defend it." She raised her head and looked at the mountains on the south side. "There are also heavy troops on the ridge."

Sun Ce knew that Sun Shangxiang had good eyes and was unmatched in shooting skills, so he was not surprised. He looked back and saw Lu Xun and Zhu Ran placing yards of soldiers on the model that was urgently made. Sun Yi was also helping. It seemed that they had already learned about the battlefield situation with the assistance of Sun Shangxiang.

"What strategy do you have to defeat the enemy?"

Sun Shangxiang raised his head, looked at Sun Ce in surprise, and said seriously: "Every step by step, attack hard, crush the opponent step by step. Not only do you have to break their positions, but you also have to crush their will. Gongsun Du's main force is here. If you win this battle, Liaodong can be safe."

Sun Ce touched Sun Shangxiang's head intimately. "Is it Bo Yan's suggestion, or your own idea?"

"All of them." Sun Shangxiang smiled and said, "The heroes have similar views."

Sun Ce laughed in silence, held Sun Shangxiang's shoulder, and returned to his seat. The model was ready, and placed it in front of him, and looked down at the entire battlefield. Sun Ce turned around and looked at it. On the hillside on the right, Shen You were setting up a formation. He was the protagonist in the next few days. Whether the battle situation can make progress depends entirely on whether he can make a breakthrough.

This is a comprehensive test of Shen You's ability. When Ling Cao was trapped in the city and there were no famous generals under his command, only Yan Baihu and others, what he could rely on was his command ability, the training level and fighting will of the Jiangdong Army. If he won and won beautifully, he, the governor of Qingzhou, could hold his position and become a representative of the Jiangdong Division. If he could not, he could only abdicate and give way to the wise, such as Xu Kun, Zhu Huan, or Dong Xi.

Sun Ce withdrew his gaze, picked up the teacup on the desk, took a sip, closed his eyes to rest.

Shen You walked up the hillside, glanced at the Liaodong army opposite, and let out a sigh.

"Are all departments in place?"

"It's almost done." Pang Tong stood beside Shen You with his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Don't be anxious. We have enough time. We would rather be slower and more stable than be hasty."

Shen You laughed and turned to look at Pang Tong. "Shi Yuan's words are exactly what I want, we don't lack time."

Pang Tong smiled slightly, and it was in his heart. He and Shen You both knew the significance of this battle. It was not only Shen You who was jealous of others, but also him. As Sun Ce’s initial military strategy, he was independent before he was young and formed his own military strategy group. There were not only one or two people who complained about the military strategy. Although the last Qingzhou war defeated Yan Liang, it also defeated Zhang Yun, and the criticism never stopped. This time, he was attacked by Gongsun Du and could not lift the siege of Dashi City. The criticism was even louder. Even Sun Ce could not completely suppress it, so he gave them a chance to prove himself.

Sun Ce personally took the battle on the first day, forcibly defeating Gongsun Du's first line of defense, beheading more than 3,000, which shocked the morale of the Liaodong Army and also set a benchmark for the Jiangdong Army. They not only wanted to win, but also won so that people could say nothing about it, so that they could prove that they could afford the title of trustworthy, not just their confidants.

The sound of war drums came from the left side of the hillside, and Yan Baihu was already in place. Shen You and Pang Tong looked at the right side of the hillside at the same time. On a high ground opposite, a battle flag was fluttering, looking a little lonely. However, when he saw this battle flag, Shen You and Pang Tong breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, exchanged a look, and showed a knowing smile.

"Prepare to attack." Shen You pulled out his battle knife and pointed forward, full of energy.

"Yeah." The messenger replied loudly, shaking the flag vigorously. The rhythm of the war drum changed and became rapid. The infantry held a shield and rushed out of the position and walked towards the opposite hillside. The crossbowman pulled out the strong bow and crossbow, and launched suppression and shooting at the Liaodong Army position on the opposite side, providing cover for the infantry that broke the formation.

The Liaodong Army also began to shoot together, throwing waves of arrows over. Some of the crossbowmen who counterattacked the Jiangdong Army, and some of them shot towards the approaching Jiangdong Army infantry. They had the terrain and had the advantage of military strength, so the Jiangdong Army infantry could not raise their heads and could only rely on the terrain and move forward patiently. Some of the crossbowmen also went down the hillside and provided cover for the infantry as much as possible, but the terrain and number of people had no advantage, and the help they could provide was very limited. The attack was at a stalemate from the beginning.

Fortunately, before the war, Shen You were sober about this and asked the troops not to be anxious, be patient, fight little by little, and not to expect a battle that was unstoppable. At this moment, these soldiers were blocked from attacking, and there was no rush. Qu Junhou opened his eyes wide, observed the situation carefully, and found a series of rapid orders, directing his robes to squeeze forward step by step. The crossbowmen controlled the rhythm, shot as accurately as possible, and saved arrows. They stayed away from their own formation, each carrying a hundred arrows, and after using them, they could only send someone to send them again, which was very troublesome.

The two sides fought little by little, fighting with one arrow and one arrow. Slowly, the well-trained advantages of the Jiangdong Army emerged. The infantry seized the gaps in the shooting of the Liaodong Army, squeezed forward again and again, and established positions. The crossbowmen followed up and shot under the cover of the infantry. They used exquisite crossbows, which had a long range, high accuracy, and had a much higher hit rate than the Liaodong Army. When shooting in pairs, the Liaodong Army could hardly gain any advantage. Some people kept getting caught and fell down, but their strength was obvious, and they had not yet shown a defeat.

On the hillsides on the north and south sides, Yan Baihu and Li Huai led their soldiers also climbed up step by step.

After half a day of fighting between the two sides, Shen You sent Liuqu soldiers to advance in the finished shape, and swallowed the Liaodong Army's position step by step. The Jiangdong Army was not in a hurry to win, and paid great attention to protecting itself. In addition, the armor was excellent. Except for a few soldiers who were extremely lucky and shot by the opponent, no one else encountered much trouble. The casualties were controlled very well and could count them with both hands. In contrast, the Liaodong Army was a little embarrassed, with nearly a hundred people being shot and injured.

Seeing that the Jiangdong Army was about to touch it, the side was unable to take advantage of the attack and could only be eaten by the opponent little by little, Gongsun An, the Liaodong Army guard general, could not hold back and ordered several infantrymen to rush out of the formation, and use the help of the slope to kill the opponent's hateful crossbowmen. The opponent was already away from the formation. Although his combat power was strong and his armor was also excellent, he had a small number of people after all, and his support was limited, so he had a great chance of winning. If he could kill them and steal their armor and weapons, it would be a rare spoil.

The soldiers of the Liaodong Army had been furious for a long time. When they heard the order to attack, they quickly rushed out of the formation, held up their swords and spears, and rushed down the hillside, killing at the Jiangdong Army soldiers who were less than a hundred steps away.

Hearing the sound of Liaodong sergeant drums changed, the soldiers of Jiangdong immediately responded. In the unit of the song, the infantry formed a semicircle and supported each other, protecting some of the archers behind them. The archers raised their hands and specifically picked the most brave Liaodong soldiers who looked the most brave. Within thirty steps, they almost shot every shot. The soldiers of Liaodong soldiers were not well-deserved and could not resist the close-range shooting. They had to hold a shield to protect their face, chest and abdomen. However, in this way, they could not see clearly under their feet. They subconsciously slowed down and the charge was interrupted.

The two armies confronted each other, and shouted and shouted together. The Liaodong Army had the advantage of military strength and surrounded the Jiangdong Army on all sides. The Jiangdong Army cooperated with each other and fought hard without retreating. In melee combat, the crossbowman did not have much effect and drew out his combat sword to assist the infantry in combat.

Seeing that the Liaodong Army took the initiative to attack, Shen You immediately sent more soldiers to reinforce and launch a full-scale attack. The drums were as fast as a wave. Thousands of Jiangdong Army surrounded from three sides, and shouted to kill the sky. When they saw that something was wrong, Gongsun An was a little panicked and did not dare to neglect. He immediately ordered a retreat, intending to withdraw the soldiers and defend the positions on the top of the slope.

Hearing the sound of gold, the soldiers of the Liaodong Army retreated from the battle circle and returned to their positions.

On the slope on the south side, a team of Liaodong soldiers threw away their armor, dragged their spears and knives, and even threw their shields, but ran fast, surpassing several teams of companions along the way, and ran back to the formation first. Gongsun An was so angry that he was furious that he ordered his guard to come forward to stop it. The five guards, Wen Ling, pulled out the swords from his waist, and grabbed the formation. They were about to shout loudly, but saw a soldier rushing in front of him suddenly shortened his body, dragging the spear behind him half a circle, and smashing the helmet of a guard in the middle. With a crisp sound, the guards saw the guards' eyes, and the sky was spinning. The soldier strode, circled around the guards, threw out the spear in his hand, and grabbed the swords from his guards' hands, and chopped off the two guards from the left and right to the ground with two squeaks.

At the same time, his companions also rushed forward, killed the remaining two personal guards, quickly formed a small formation, and rushed towards the central army.

The spear roared, and Gongsun An, who was commanding, had not yet reacted. The personal guards on the side saw that the situation was not good, flew over and knocked him down, barely avoiding the misfortune of the spear running through the spear. The central army was in chaos, and the team of soldiers who retreated first flew in and rushed in. They killed several people in an instant, and rushed to Gongsun An with great force. Gongsun An felt a look of face, knew something was wrong, and shouted loudly: "Whose subordinate are you?"

The young soldier who rushed to the front smiled slightly. "I am under the command of Shen Jun, the governor of Qingzhou, and Zhou Tai of Jiujiang." With a wave of his long sword, he cut off Gongsun An's head with one knife.
