Fenqiu City, the west bank of Yingshui River.

"Quick! Quick!" Dong Xi used a sword to hit the shield and shouted loudly: "You guys usually scream more fiercely than the other. They are really messy and are as messy as ducks, which will embarrass me. Hurry! The general will arrive soon, delaying the general's affairs, and you want you to look good."

Dong Xi shouted and cursed, turning his head to observe the situation. There was smoke and dust on both sides of the Ying River, and the knights on both sides had to rush on the way. However, there were official roads on the east bank of the Ying River, and the road conditions were much better. There were only some small roads on the west bank, and some were a little round, and they did not go straight along the Ying River. From the map, it was a three or five miles more road. According to the people of Linying, this road leads to Xibugen and Xiangcheng. When you go to Yingyang, you usually don’t go to the west bank, either take a boat or take the official road on the east bank.

But Dong Xi still shouted and scolded, urging the soldiers to hurry up and set up the formation. He led the infantry. If the formation had not been set up, the Huns would rush in front of him. Not only would they not be able to complete the tasks assigned by Sun Ce, but his subordinates would also suffer significant losses, and the people of Linying who built bridges behind him would also suffer heavy casualties.

Once such a thing happens, his face will be lost, and there is only one way left: die on the battlefield and apologize for death. Sun Ce just praised him, and made such a big mistake. Does he still have the face to live?

Under Dong Xi's merciless urging, the soldiers were like crazy. In the unit, three of them pulled the cart in front, two of them pushed the cart in the back, running with all their might, faster than the scalper pulling cart. The road was not very flat, and the cart was clanging and the weapons and shields on it collided. Shi Chang and four crossbowmen were running on the side of the car with weapons in their hands, ready to take the fight at any time. When they were about to arrive at the predetermined position, Shi Chang raised their hands and shouted.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

The five soldiers pulling the cart shouted in unison and forced their speed down. The three in front pushed their backs against the car wall, pushed their feet hard, and shoveled the soil and grass chips on the heels. With their full cooperation, the cart parked steadily in the predetermined position and quickly tied the iron chain with the cart that was already in place.

"Go up!" Shi shouted, jumped onto the cart with the crossbowman, lifted up the roof cover, fixed it with wooden sticks, and formed a one-person-high wooden shield with the side wall. Three spearmen lined up between the two armies, and two sword and shield soldiers stood behind the car, ready to be replaced at any time, or provide assistance, transporting arrows to the crossbowman and bandaging the injured. Of course, if anyone wants to escape, they are the supervisor team.

One person is afraid to fight, ten people are shamed, and it is necessary to supervise each other and encourage each other.

The soldiers were busy setting up formations, and the civil servants were not idle either. They set up a floating bridge under Chunyu Chong's command. They were not as well-trained as the soldiers and were much slower. Seeing that the knights were approaching and the floating bridge had not been set up, Chunyu Chong was so anxious that he was sweating. Although Dong Xi did not scold the civil servants, he knew in his heart that Dong Xi was really anxious and the situation was indeed dangerous. If Hu Qi rushed over, I wonder how many people would die, especially the unarmed civil servants.

But time was too tight. When Sun Ce arrived by the river, the floating bridge still couldn't be set up in time. Sun Ce had to jump off his horse and wait by the river. Chunyu Chong rode the boat to the east bank, met Sun Ce, and apologized repeatedly. Although Sun Ce was anxious, he still comforted Chunyu Chong and talked to him.

"I heard that you and Chunyu Zhongjian are of the same clan?"

"Yes, I'm his son."

"Is there anyone else in his family? How is life?"

"There is no one anymore, and his family has moved to Yecheng long ago. After my uncle was killed, I lost a stable source of income and could only rely on relatives and friends to support me. I lived a difficult life. I wrote a letter to ask if my family's land and house were still there and I wanted to come back to live."

"Let them come back and arrange something to do when the time comes. If you are rich and powerful, you will not dare to say anything. Food and clothing will not be a problem."

"Thank you, General." Chunyu Chong was surprised and happy and thanked him repeatedly.

At this time, the Huns also rushed to the other side. However, Dong Xi had already established a formation, and more than two thousand infantrymen formed a round formation, and more infantrymen were landing on the shore, and the formation became thicker and thicker. Seeing this, Gibei did not take the initiative to attack, but just sent some knights to the front of the formation to guerrillas and maintain pressure. His mission was to entangle Sun Ce, not to attack these infantrymen. Since Sun Ce had not crossed the river, he was happy to wait for the labor.

But Dong Xi did not miss this opportunity. He ordered the crossbowmen to be on guard and issued a reward order, shooting one Hun, rewarding one thousand yuan. Shooting three Huns and upgrading one level.

The crossbowmen with outstanding shooting skills immediately became energetic, especially those who hold six stone crossbows and use sniper as their main mission. They are different from ordinary crossbowmen. Even in chaos, they do not target ordinary soldiers, and mainly shoot the opponent's generals. They are divided into different levels based on the shooting level and the number of enemies killed. Each level has five levels, and the difference between the two levels varies from three to five hundred coins per month. If they have outstanding shooting skills and become a Class A slasher, they can enjoy the same treatment as the Duwei. If they are a Class A slasher, the treatment is comparable to that of two thousand stones, and they are the same as that of a partial general.

Not everyone has the opportunity to become a general, but as long as they are skilled, they can still enjoy the treatment and glory of a general. However, upgrading is not easy, and they have to be evaluated every month. If they fail to meet the requirements, they will be demoted. In contrast, the conditions for shooting three Huns to upgrade to one level is too generous.

The shooters were fully focused, skillfully adjusting the bowstrings, looking at the mountain, aiming at the knights who were shooting in front of the formation, capturing their movement patterns, and waiting for the best shooting opportunity.

Seeing that the Han army soldiers were hiding behind the cart and there was no movement, the Huns relaxed their vigilance and got closer and closer to the circular formation. Their bow-riding range was only sixty or seventy steps, and it was meaningless to be too far away. With their riding skills, they could even rush directly to the cart, only a few feet away from the spear protruding the cart, and mentally attacking their opponents.

A knight took the lead in making an attempt and rushed to the front of the formation. Just as the horse's chest was about to touch the tip of the spear, he suddenly slowed down and turned, and at the same time pulled the bow in his hand to prepare to shoot the spearman between the two cars.

But he failed to get what he wanted. A strong arrow roared out, almost instantly piercing through his body. It was too close to him, and the iron armor on his body failed to play any protective role. The power on the arrow was so strong that it took him away from the horse's back and landed on the ground. After struggling for a few times, it stopped moving, and blood gushed out.

Before the Huns could react, several more shooters fired one after another, one after another, and the Huns were shot and fell to the ground one after another, with a hit rate of up to 70%. In a moment, more than a dozen Huns were shot and killed, and none of them were spared. Several arrows even flew over more than two hundred steps and shot in front of Qubei.

Gebei was shocked and quickly ordered to retreat.

As soon as the horn retreated sounded, the Huns were frustrated, but the soldiers of Dong Xi's troops were cheering and mixed with insults. Sun Ce heard it on the east bank, looked up and smiled, "I didn't expect that Dong Yuan Dynasty would steal the title."

Chunyu Chong echoed a few words and suddenly felt aroused in his heart. "General, is the killing of Hu still effective?"
