As soon as Que Yi's formation moved, Sun Ce also moved.

He kept staring at Tuo Yi, paying attention to Tuo Yi's every move, waiting for the opportunity to have a fatal blow.

Tuo Yi was very cautious. He had seen the power of the crossbow chariot. After the crossbow chariot was sent to the battlefield, he hid in the shooting dead corner, used the camp bar as a cover, and deployed numerous shields. The remaining Xiliang infantry were in front of him. The front of the position was replaced by a thousand shield hands, spearmen, three hundred crossbow chariots, a row of 100 people, and a total of thirteen rows, filling the positions between the two armies, blocking his possibility of forcibly assaulting.

Even if his Yi Cong Camp is strong, there is no good way to deal with such dense formations. A hard attack will inevitably cause a large number of casualties.

If you want to break through such a position, the most ideal way seems to be to clear the periphery and launch an attack behind Tuo Yi.

He did this, but this was just a false appearance he wanted to let Qu Yi see. He was waiting for the fermentation of factors that were unfavorable to Qu Yi. The bows and crossbows in this era were compound bows, and the glue used was animal glue. One of the biggest weaknesses of animal glue was that it was afraid of water. If it was soaked in water, the adhesion would decrease, and the bow strength would be severely weakened, and it would even crack directly when the bow was drawn.

When tactical deduction was conducted before the war, this was the key point that the military strategists repeatedly emphasized. They also asked Xie Kuan, who was most experienced in crossbows, and conducted experiments to understand the tendency of the bow force to decline over time after the crossbows were soaked in water. The results concluded that after twelve hours of water, the bow force dropped by at least 50%, or even higher.

If the bow power drops by 50%, the strong crossbow becomes an ordinary bow, and the strong crossbowman in Jizhou becomes disabled.

The only surprise was that Lu Su attacked too quickly and fiercely, and he completed the tactical goal in half the night, forcing Tuo Yi to retreat in advance. However, this could not affect the overall situation. Just let the crossbow chariot shoot a few more rounds, and the arrows were well prepared, enough to completely destroy Tuo Yi's position.

As expected, after two rounds of shooting, Qu Yi's originally dense position was abandoned. Qu Yi had no choice but to retreat in a hurry.

But Sun Ce did not intend to let him go. He prepared for so long and fought hard for another day and midnight. He finally broke up with Tuo Yi, so how could he let him escape? Such an experienced general attracted a lot of experience from a battle. This time, unexpectedly, there would be no such good thing next time.

Taking advantage of your illness, I will kill you! Kill the No. 1 Hebei general in the last battle. What else can shock the world more than this?

Sun Ce led Guo Wu and others to jump onto the war horse, bypassed the camp on the right, and ran towards Que Yi's right front. After being ravaged by a crossbow, the position was full of arrows and corpses. Not to mention war horses, even infantry had to pass carefully. He didn't have the time to walk slowly. As early as when the crossbow came forward and shot, he retreated out of Que Yi's sight and waited for the opportunity to attack.

Now the opportunity is here.

The infantry position was destroyed, and Qu Yi retreated rapidly under the cover of dozens of Xiliang infantry left. There was chaos around. Several soldiers from several camps were leaving the camp. Some had almost retreated, while others had just begun to retreat. The soldiers were panicked and crowded, and no one was on duty at the camp gate. Qu Yi saw it in his eyes, and his morale was chaotic, and his tactical cover was useless. Although he had thousands of people, he was no different from walking alone. Only the dozens of people around him could rely on. Once Sun Ce caught up, he would definitely die.

When he thought of Sun Ce, Que subconsciously glanced behind him. Behind him was a chaotic battlefield, and Sun Ce should not be so easy to pass, right? Just as Que comforted himself, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves in front of him, getting closer and closer. Que didn't know whether it was a friend or an enemy, but was surprised and suspicious. Sun Ce rushed out of the darkness, danced the overlord to kill, and killed two people in a row. He rushed to Que and shouted.

"Qu Yi, die!"

Tuo Yi opened his eyes wide and watched Sun Ce reach the horse and rush out of the darkness. The Overlord Killing drew a cold light and quickly enlarged in his eyes. He was completely disappointed, opened his arms, and a desolate smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It’s a pity that I’m so close to Runan, but I still haven’t returned to my hometown.

As the coldness entered the body, the Bawangsha easily pierced the breastplate, pierced into Que's body, picked him up, and let him freeze his body. Que's hands tightly grasped the iron handle of the Bawangsha painted the phoenix of the Fire Phoenix, looking at Sun Ce's eyes that were close at hand, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"General Sun..." Kuo Yi was provoked by Sun Ce in the air, but his eyes became brighter, exuding a strange look. "Please...you do."

Sun Ce blinked his eyes, not understanding why Qu Yi asked him at this time, and what he wanted to ask him for. However, the bird is about to die, and the song is sad. When a person is about to die, his words are good. Since he has succeeded, it is okay to listen.

"explain!"

"Buried me...you..." Every time Tuo Yi said a word, a stream of blood gushed out of his mouth. He stared at Sun Ce tightly, struggled, his face twisted, his lips twitching, trying to express his wish, but the blood gushed out continuously, and he could not spit out the word.

Sun Ce understood and nodded. "Okay, I will bury you in Runan."

"Thank you very much." Kuo Yi smiled relievedly, let go of his hand, fell back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, dyeing his face red.

——

Xun Yan stood with his hands behind his back, stood in front of the tent, looking at the stars in the sky, his heart tightened.

The ground was muddy. Although there were hay and there were too many people coming and going, they quickly trampled into pieces. The rain was too heavy in the afternoon, and the ditch next to the tent was too late. The entire camp was soaked in water. Although the time was short, it still had a significant impact.

He stood aside with a depressed expression. Zhang He bowed to Xun Yan repeatedly and almost knelt on the ground. Since the dusk, he has been pestering Xun Yan and asking him to send troops to pick up Que Yi. Xun Yan has been unwilling to agree. He insisted that Huang Wan's subordinates were panicked and forced to guard the camp. He would definitely disperse after leaving the camp. Not only could he not save Que Yi, but he would also trap himself in.

Even if Kuo Yi is still defeated, what are the uses of these military soldiers?

Xun Yan comforted Zhang He and said that Qu Yi might not be able to defeat Sun Ce, but there was no problem with him withdrawing. Instead of risking out of the camp to reinforce, we might as well guard the camp and wait for him to come back. Zhang He originally agreed reluctantly, but in the middle of the night, he fled back to the camp and reported the situation of the battle. Zhang He became anxious again and asked Xun Yan to send troops to help.

After listening to the report of Guibei, Xun Yan felt sad. He estimated that when he arrived at Guiyi, he would encounter a fierce battle, but he did not expect that the outcome would be decided so quickly. Tuo Yi's central army was severely damaged, and more than half of the Hun cavalry led by Guibei lost, Yin Kai's entire army was wiped out, and Min Jian had no news yet, so it might be a little bit of good fortune. In less than a day, Tuo Yi was not only defeated, but also suffered a complete defeat.

Who can be his opponent with Sun Ce so strong? Can Yuan Shao do it if Coach Yi is defeated?

"General..."

Xun Yan raised his hand and interrupted Zhang He. "Jun Yi, compared to General Tuo's life and death, there is a more important task now. Jun Yi cannot do it."

Zhang He twitched his cheeks, but he still asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

"Tell the lord the battle situation in Yingchuan. If I guess well, Sun Ce will be forced to come up soon. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave tomorrow."

"I can leave now. Will the general send someone to pick up General Kuo?"
