Since his debut with Liu Bei, Zhang Fei has fought many battles, but he has no record of making any achievements, but has accumulated a lot of experience. He felt the ground shaking and the sound of horse hooves became more and more urgent. He knew that his opponent was back and might have to take his life. Without saying a word, he rolled to the side.

At this time, there is no difference between leaping up as a hero and seeking death. Facing a knight who is riding a horse and rushing, even if he is brave, he will be penetrated by a spear.

With a "bang", Zhang Fei's head hit the tree on the side of the road. Venus appeared in front of him and almost fainted on the spot. Mi Fang stabbed the sky with a spear, and she was secretly sorry. She was about to pluck a horse and repair it. When Yu Guang saw several feathered arrows flying over, he turned around and was looking for death. He gritted his teeth, kicked the war horse hard, and rushed towards Liu Bei.

"Swoosh!" Two sharp roars, two feather arrows flew past Mi Fang's ears, and an arrow shot on Mi Fang's breastplate. Mi Fang was furious and jumped into the horse and raised his spear, killing Liu Bei. Liu Bei was shocked, threw away his bow, pulled out the long knife from his waist, and slashed it out with one knife.

The swords and spears intersect, "When--" the metal clashed, the spear deviated, slid from Liu Bei's ribs, rubbed against the iron armor, and scraped out a row of sparks. Although it could not penetrate, the impact force still made Liu Bei unable to bear it. He screamed in pain and turned over and fell off the horse. Mi Fang rode his horse and danced with his spear, picked two people in a row, and broke through. More than thirty scouts rode their horses and followed closely behind, and slashed several people, rushing for more than a hundred steps, strangled the mount, turned around, and accelerated the rush again. The remaining dozen people had already taken the arrows again, aimed at Liu Bei and others who had been dispersed in formation, and shot in a row. They screamed several times in succession, and some people were caught in the arrow.

These people are either the elites in the Mi family's ranks, or the six-county knights brought by Qin Mu from Guanzhong. They are all superb riding skills and extraordinary martial arts. Otherwise, they would not be Sun Ce's personal guards and become scouts. They are well equipped, well-trained, and often cooperate with each other. They charge and cover, and cooperate with tacit understanding. They knocked down Liu Bei and Zhang Fei in two rounds. The more than thirty knights they brought were beaten to pieces by them and suffered heavy losses.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Bei did not care about the severe pain in his waist and ribs. He rolled on the spot, picked up a shield, protected him, rushed to Zhang Fei, grabbed his collar, dragged him into the canal beside him, and escaped the impact of Mi Fang and others. Mi Fang secretly complained that it was a pity that he wanted to take off the horse and kill these two people and cut off Liu Bei's head. However, more people were rushing out of the city gate and dared not fight. The command headquarters shot crossbow arrows and left.

Liu Bei squatted in the canal and shrank into a ball. He heard the shield being shot by arrows, and he couldn't even raise his head. It was not until he heard Guan Yu's shouting that he realized that he had saved his life, threw the shield aside, and stood up with Zhang Fei.

"Xuande, are you injured?" Guan Yu was shocked when he saw two arrows inserted into Liu Bei's thighs and hurriedly called the doctor.

Liu Bei waved his hand. "It's okay, it's a skin and flesh." He moved his hand and touched the muscles in his waist again, causing him to sweat coldly. He gritted his teeth and lifted Zhang Fei up. Someone reached out to pull Zhang Fei up and pulled Liu Bei up again. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei was covered in mud and in a mess, but what made him even more embarrassed was that looking around, the corpses on the ground were all his subordinates, and there was no enemy.

Less than ten of the more than 30 guards survived, and everyone was injured. They surrounded them and looked at Liu Bei with guilt. It was not that they were not trying their best, but the gap in strength was too big, and they were crushed by the other party without even the chance to fight back.

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and beat his chest and stamped his feet. "Sun Ce bullied me too much!" Before he finished speaking, tears burst out from his eyes.

Guan Yu's face looked ugly. If he hadn't been hit by Sun Ce's trick, the Miscellaneous Hu cavalry would have lost all the losses, how could it have made mere thirty or fifty cavalry so arrogant? Yanzhou has a large population, and it is not difficult to replenish infantry, but the knights are not that easy. Almost all the war horses are controlled by the powerful families, and those people look down on Liu Bei at all. Bao Xin, the only one who is willing to support him, died in battle.

"Xuande, let's go to Junyi and compete with Sun Ce for a while, and wash away the previous shame."

Liu Bei grabbed Guan Yu's arm. "Chang Yun, forget it. We are not strong enough now and are not Sun Ce's opponents. Let's be patient for a while, and wait until I gain a foothold in Dongjun and settle accounts with Sun Ce."

Guan Yu clenched his fists and his teeth clattered.

——

Sun Ce was vaguely uneasy.

Cao Ren was too stubborn. The crossbowman lost more than half of his losses, and he refused to retreat. The longer the crossbowman fired before the battle, the more arrows they consumed. They shot not arrows, but money. Three thousand crossbowmans shot three thousand arrows at a time, and tens of thousands of arrows could be shot in a meal, which was a severe test for logistics supply. If there were no arrows at this time, Chen's three thousand powerful crossbowman would become spectators.

It seems that it is no longer realistic to completely destroy the arrow formation on the opposite side, and the soldiers can only force the soldiers to break through in the rain of arrows. However, in this way, the losses may exceed 30%. This is not only a few hundred lives, but also money. Everyone in the personal guard camp is piled up with money.

The palm of your hand is flesh, and the back of your hand is flesh, and it hurts no matter where you cut it.

Cao Ren, wait, and I will search your house when I turn around. Leave a piece of tiles for you, and my surname is not Sun.

Sun Ce gritted his teeth and was about to order Guo Ting to launch an attack. A knight rushed from a distance and sent a military report to Guo Jia. Guo Jia glanced at him, took the military newspaper, and went up to the command platform.

"General, Liu Bei is in Kuragaki City."

Sun Ce turned around and found the location of Cangyuan City on the map, blurted out a swear word. King Chen saw it and said nothing. Cangyuan City was in Fengqiu, and Zhu Yan was confined to prejudice and resources and failed to discover this hidden danger. If Sun Ce had not insisted on it hard, this suspicion would have been let go and it would have been a turning point in the battle situation in the end.

"General, although Liu Bei's position is eastward, his most likely target is Cao Bao and Xu Yan, but he may also target us."

Sun Ce turned to look at Guo Jia, his eyes narrowed. He understood Guo Jia's meaning. Guo Jia had never been interested in respecting the court. He was more concerned about taking down Jingzhou and then expanding to Yangzhou and Yizhou. It is estimated that he is planning to make suggestions now and ask him to give up supporting Zhu Yan. Compared with the relatively old-fashioned Zhang Hong, he has no bottom line and is very realistic.

Guo Jia blinked, didn't say anything, and laughed.

Sun Ce knew what he wanted to say, and he also knew what he knew what he wanted to say.

Sun Ce rubbed his fingers and repeatedly weighed the current situation. It would take at least two days to find out Liu Bei's position, adjust the deployment of troops, and take precautions. No one could say what the situation would be like in two days. If he stopped the attack now, there would be sufficient reasons, and Zhu Yan had nothing to say. It would not be saved from the poison, the bitter chief, and the Black Mountain Army would most likely turn against each other. Before Zhu Yan controlled Hanoi, the king's journey to the west was basically just empty words, and it was likely to end in vain.

The emperor is still in Chang'an and controlled by Wang Yun and Cao Cao. Yuan Shao is in Hebei and he is in the southeast. The three sides have their own advantages. He has nothing to be afraid of. As long as he is well planned and he is given several years of accumulation, he still has the opportunity to kill Yuan Shao.

But in this way, the war will be delayed longer, the casualties will be greater, and tens of millions of people will die in despair. Even if he established the Sun dynasty, it will still be a mess full of holes, not much better than the Western Jin Dynasty of the Sima family.

More importantly, after waiting for so long, all the previous efforts were wasted.

This is unbearable! Sun Ce's mouth twitched, his eyes were full of murderous aura. "Fengjia, is there any...a way to fight quickly?"

Guo Jia smiled even brighter. "Without, it's very risky."
