"Ah!" A scream rang out from the opposite side, and someone was shot.

Yu Fan was very surprised. Jiang'an was pitch black and could not see the target at all. These two shooters were able to hit the target based on the arrows shot by the other party. This was too exaggerated.

"They are professional." Sun Ce turned his head and said to Yu Fan: "Practice shooting skills for more than two hours a day, and the other time is also used to conduct related training. Listening to sound and shooting is one of the events, but the hit rate is limited. At present, the only two of them can reach more than 50% of the entire battalion."

Yu looked at Sun Ce, then looked at Guo Wu in front of him, remembering the last time Sun Ce asked Guo Wu to fight him. "If I guess correctly, Guo Ziwei's spear is only stronger than the general, right? The general has to deal with a lot of military affairs, but he is practicing martial arts except on duty."

Sun Ce smiled. "That's right. To be honest, he is not as good as me. In practice, I'm slightly inferior. But it's enough to deal with you."

Yu Fan curled his lips, speechless.

The ship was getting closer and closer to the shore, and the arrow rain became denser and denser. Sun Ce's shield was hit by several arrows one after another, which made his arm numb. Judging from the force of the arrow, there were several arrows that were particularly heavy. Sun Ce became more and more convinced that Taishi Ci was on the opposite side, but he didn't know why he didn't agree.

The three ships advanced in unison, and the archers kept fighting back under the cover of the shield. Both sides were getting closer, from thirty to twenty steps, from twenty to ten steps, and from twenty to ten steps, the other side was constantly hit by arrows. At such a close distance, a strong crossbow could break the shield, and ordinary wooden shield could no longer play a protective role. Yi Chenggong took advantage of the steel round shield in the hands of the camp. If it was daytime, Yi Chenggong would go into the water and forcefully attacked. It was night, and the tide was rising, and the water flowed turbulently, and no one dared to go into the water easily. Sun Ce was unwilling to let them sacrifice unnecessary, but just ordered continued shooting and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

With the fire, Sun Ce could already vaguely see several shadows, one of whom was half a head taller than the person next to him. He had a bow in his hand, but no shooting, nor did he stand alone with the others, looking a little lonely.

The sound of war drums sounded in the direction of the camp, and countless torches were lit up, illuminating half of the sky. The figures on the shore became more and more visible, not many, only twenty or thirty people. Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the sound of war drums and torches, the camp had not yet been attacked and there were not many enemies, and the thing he was most worried about had not yet happened.

After a while, the sound of a gong calling the police sounded on the north side, and there was a vague shouting and scolding in Ganning's strong Bashu accent, getting closer and closer. The man turned his head and looked, and a whistle, the rain of arrows on the shore stopped, and the chaotic footsteps sounded, and soon disappeared into the night.

Gan Ning led more than 30 people to chase after him, shouting and scolding, and the bell on the knife ring rang.

Sun Ce shouted loudly: "Xingba, don't chase the enemy."

Gan Ning responded unwillingly, stopped his steps, led his subordinates to the shore, held a torch and illuminated the shore, and guided the boat to lower the springboard. Sun Ce got on the shore, and his feet stood on the solid ground, and his heart hanging in the air finally fell back to its original place. Although he encountered some setbacks, he avoided greater losses. If he did not take the risk of ferrying at night today, something would happen to be almost 100% tonight.

"Carrange the battlefield and see who the opponent is."

——

Taishici kicked the horse, and more than a dozen soldiers followed behind, running silently. They did not light a torch, followed the sound of horse hooves and footsteps. A large number of enemies were still behind and might chase after him at any time. At this time, there was no difference between lighting a torch and dying.

The battle was insignificant, it was originally just an accidental encounter, both sides suffered casualties, and neither side took advantage. However, the strength of Sun Ce's troops made them very uneasy. They crossed the river at night and encountered another attack, and they could quickly stabilize the situation and launch a counterattack in an orderly manner. This calmness made them very uneasy. They were all elites from Tongguanshan. They fought fiercely with Zulang for many days under the leadership of Taishi Ci, and they selected the best from the best, and were confident that they could fight with any equal number of opponents. Unexpectedly, they were at a disadvantage when they fought with Sun Ce for the first time, and were still under the conditions of taking advantage of the time and place.

He walked out for several miles with his head shut and heard that no one was chasing him, Taishi Ci walked into a hidden place, turned over and dismounted, ordered people to light a torch, count the number of people, and checked the injuries one by one. He had brought a total of thirty people, and there were still eighteen people left, including seven of them slightly injured, and two were seriously injured. He could still support him while escaping. As soon as he stopped, the two seriously injured fell down.

Taishici didn't say a word, took off his bag on his horse's back, took out tools and medicines, and treated them with his own hands.

The others were not idle either, drawing arrows, applying medicine, and bandaging for their slightly injured companions. After doing this, they surrounded Taishici and looked at Taishici silently, with the atmosphere very depressing.

Taishici looked at them and suddenly laughed: "Have anyone seen Sun Ce?"

The soldiers nodded. They all saw Sun Ce. The moment the torch lighted up, and when Sun Ce reported himself to his house, they all saw it, and almost everyone shot arrows, but they failed to hurt Sun Ce.

"What you meet today is the most elite Yicongying under Sun Ce's command. Yicongying has two commanders, one is Xu Chu and the other is Dian Wei, who is the most famous Ranger in the Central Plains. Dian Wei can lift the flag, and Xu Chu drags his ox tail in the upside down..."

A soldier who was slightly injured suddenly interrupted and said, "General, are you talking about Xu Chu from the Xu family of Pei State?"

"You know?"

"I've heard of him," the soldier said, "I was originally part of the Yellow Turbans of Runan, but later came to Jiangnan."

"It's him."

The soldier said "Oh" and suddenly realized. After a while, he smiled and said, "No wonder those people are so capable. It turns out that Xu Chu is here too."

"That's right, today you are not only facing Xu Chu, but also four or five hundred Yicong camp around Sun Ce. He does nothing except war. Looking at the world, it is difficult to find an opponent of the same strength. If you meet such an opponent today, you can still achieve such a record, which shows that you have made significant progress during this period and are already one of the best scholars in the world. What's wrong with you?"

The soldiers looked at each other, pushing me, pushing you, laughing loudly. It is indeed a very lucky thing to be able to fight against the elites in the world, but they are not wiped out and come back alive.

"General, will you still fight tomorrow?"

Taishi Ci frowned. "Continue to reconnaissance tomorrow and wait for General Yan to meet up." Taishi Ci changed his voice and said, "When I go back to the camp later, each person will have a bucket of wine and a pound of meat, have a good sleep after eating, and find another opportunity to fight with Sun Ce tomorrow. Be energetic, don't let other brothers look down on you, as if you have lost the battle."

When the soldiers heard that there was wine and meat, they were immediately excited. Even those who were seriously injured opened their eyes and shouted at the top of their voices. Taishici did not ride a horse, so he asked a seriously injured soldier to get on the horse, carried another one on his back, and walked towards Tianzhu Mountain.

The soldiers recovered their calmness and were energetic, and followed Taishi Ci to move forward.
