Although the hillside is not very high, it is more than twenty feet long. Sun Ce is condescending, and with the help of the firelight distribution in the camp, Jiang Qi's military distribution can be clearly seen.

Zhang Nan came first, but he was anxious and did not bring equipment such as supplies. All he could rely on was the shields and spears that the soldiers carried with him. Because their opponents were on the hillside, they naturally chose to set up a formation facing the hillside, with the shield player in front, the spear player behind, and the crossbow player behind. Because Sun Ce had not responded, after dark, they did not make any adjustments, but lit a bonfire between the formations to facilitate action.

Little did they know that these bonfires were convenient for them, but also for Sun Ce, and pointed out the direction for him to choose the attack route. The piles of bonfires were simply guiding lights, and they kept waving to Sun Ce.

So Bai Lishi came.

With Chen Dao as the forward, Bai Lishi accelerated through the gap between the small square formations and quickly entered the formation.

The sword and shield hand, the spearman and the crossbowman are indeed the best formation to block the knight's rushing forward, but that only refers to the front. If an attack is launched from the side or behind, it is almost fatal. The square formation is closely coordinated and it is difficult to turn around. The crossbowman's melee ability is extremely weak, and he cannot stop the running horses and sharp spears, swords, and spearman with melee ability. The sword and shield hand is separated from the other side, with a whip that is too long, so he can only watch the crossbowman being massacred.

It is difficult for a large number of knights to be in a consistent manner, nor can they quickly pass the space between the small arrays, but the Bailishi, with only one hundred people, can. Since their establishment, they have been receiving the most stringent training. Both riding and fighting abilities are better than ordinary knights. At this moment, they are facing infantrymen who are rushing to travel long distances and exhausted physically and mentally, and they can hardly feel any resistance, galloping and killing wantonly.

The sound of horse hooves gathered into a thunderbolt, rolling past, quickly killing Zhang Nan's position, emerged from the formation, reorganized the formation, and then entered Jiao Tun's position. Behind them, Zhang Nan's subordinates were still in shock and were in chaos. Zhang Nan, who rushed back to the position, was so angry that he broke the brilliance. While shouting orders to beat drums and reorganized the formation, he ordered his personal guards to kill the people who were in chaos. The personal guards drew out their battle swords and killed more than a dozen soldiers who shouted the most fiercely, before barely controlling the situation.

Even so, Zhang Nan still took a breath of air. The position was full of corpses and blood. Six hundred crossbowmen suffered heavy losses, with at least one-third of the casualties, and they were all frightened and anxious, and they had no intention of fighting at any time.

Zhang Nan repeatedly called in a row to block the gap. He was afraid that the cavalry would come back and could no longer limit the defense direction to the hillside, so he could only arrange the array on all sides. However, in this way, the formation would inevitably be thin.

Sun Ce on the hillside could see clearly, raised his hand, and waved it lightly at Zhang Fei who was impatient.

Zhang Fei shouted loudly: "Follow me!" He rode his horse and led his subordinates through the space between the two square formations and killed down the mountain. They came in secluded, not even the war drums were high, and the torches were not raised. They were discovered after being discovered after being attacked by the cavalry. Before he could come back to his senses, the crossbowman was severely injured again. He shot dozens of arrows in an eager manner, but they were sparse and had no lethality. Zhang Fei rode his horse and raised his spear, knocking several spears and fighting horses successively tore a gap in the formation, which was not strictly enforced, and entered the formation. Two hundred shangmen held their shields and entered them one after another, easily breaking through the blockade, spreading out from all sides, slashing and killing Zhang Nan's subordinates, and they all fell to the ground.

This is what Jiang Qi saw.

In the darkness, people cannot see clearly, but anyone can feel the difference in morale between the two sides. The morale of the infantry and knights captured was like a rainbow, rushing left and right, as if entering a no-man. Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu's subordinates were killed and retreated step by step, and the formation was in chaos. Many people had lost their fighting spirit and fled everywhere. Although Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu kept screaming and blocking the guard camp everywhere, they still could not control the situation and were about to collapse.

Jiang Qi did not dare to be negligent, and immediately ordered the two armies of the central army to beat drums and prepare for battle. At the same time, he ordered Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu to retreat to both wings and not to attack the central army's positions, otherwise he would be killed. Hearing the sound of war drums, Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu were ashamed of amnesty, and they all sent orders to their subordinates and retreated in sequence with Qu.

Sun Ce stood on the hillside and watched the formation gradually change down the slope. Zhang Nan and Jiao Tu's chaotic positions gradually retreated to the wings, revealing the strict central army formation, and secretly praised himself. Jiang Qi was not in chaos in the battle and could still control the situation at this time. He was indeed capable. No wonder Yuan Shao arranged for him to station in Liyang. The opportunity was fleeting. If he delayed it, Jiang Qi would order the crossbowmen to shoot volleys, Chen Dao and Zhang Fei would suffer heavy damage.

He raised his hand, signaled to whistle the Jin, and ordered Chen Dao and Zhang Fei to retreat.

With a command, he raised a torch on the front to illuminate the retreating road for the infantry and cavalry who were rushing to the formation.

Chen Dao raised his spear, shouted loudly, and returned from the gap on the right side with Bai Lishi. Zhang Fei was so angry that he delayed for a while. It was not until Jiang Qi ordered the crossbowmen to shoot in a volley and a rain of arrows poured down, and he had to withdraw his position. Because of his delay, dozens of infantrymen were shot by arrows, even he himself was shot by one. He came to Sun Ce, turned over and dismounted, and raised his bloody spear.

"How? I killed thirteen people alone, and all of them killed more than one hundred, and it is likely to be two hundred. This horse is mine, right?"

Sun Ce nodded with a smile. "Yi De is brave and has a reputation. I keep my word, this horse belongs to you."

Zhang Fei was proud and was about to whisper a few more words, but Liu Bei stopped him. Zhang Fei was puzzled and said loudly: "Then I will thank the general. Xuande, you will ride this horse when you march tomorrow, and don't borrow it from others."

Zhang Fei said while glanced at Sun Ce, looking proud. Sun Ce just smiled but didn't say anything. Liu Bei was ashamed of himself, and was embarrassed to scold Zhang Fei in front of Sun Ce, so he had to pull Zhang Fei aside and whisper: "Yide, don't you even understand the orders? Why didn't you retreat in time and dozens of people died in vain."

Zhang Fei felt bored and said indignantly: "It's just a few soldiers, why bother to care so much? When fighting, there are no ones who will never die. I have very few casualties this time."

"You have few casualties this time, not because you fought well, but because he commanded well." Liu Bei stood on the slope and saw clearly. Seeing Zhang Feiming being stubborn, he had to say: "If you return after hearing the gold, you would have had fewer casualties. Yide, this song is the elite I picked out from thousands of prisoners in the East County. It is our full strength. If one dies, one will be less. Even if you have the opportunity to supplement it in the future, it will be difficult to find such a person."
