Hearing the sound of trumpets coming from the front, Xu Rong stood up suddenly and frowned.

Fan Chou just said that everything went well, but in a blink of an eye, he asked for help again, which was a bit abnormal. Although accidents often occur on the battlefield, accidents also vary in size and weight, and some accidents may be fatal.

Xu Rong looked into the distance and saw Heng Huan's battle flag between Fan Chou and Wang Fang. The battle flag flew around. He couldn't see it clearly. He could vaguely see it was a black bird, which was definitely not a wild beast like a wolf bear commonly used by the generals of Xiliang.

This is Sun Ce's subordinate.

Xu Rong's heart skipped a beat. This battle flag was a bit like Dong Yu's troops who had been defeated by Fan Chou before. Why is he back?

Xu Rong did not dare to be negligent and immediately sent a messenger to the front of the formation to check the situation. The sound of the horns and flags can convey simple signals, and the detailed content depends on the communications' eyes and ears. The messenger rushed away. Xu Rong took his hands behind his back and forth for a few steps. When he saw the bamboo slips written on the table, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

Could it be that there is God's will in the dark? I already know that this battle will definitely be defeated, so I have to write down the process of this battle?

Xu Rong was stunned for a moment, shook his head again, throwing this strange feeling out of his mind. Fierce battles are in full swing, and this idea is not enough, not to mention that I still have a chance to win or lose, but Sun Ce is about to be broken through to the central army. No matter how strong his military governs the army, once the central army is broken through, the victory or defeat is a foregone conclusion.

Despite this, Xu Rong's heart was still throbbing, and his always calm state of mind showed irresistible fluctuations.

In front of the formation, Deng Zhan led his troops to attack Fan Chou's flank.

At the same time, the Wu Gang chariot, who had been silent for a long time, began to roar again, shooting waves of arrows at the soldiers of Xiliang who were close to him.

This time, we used not a single arrow, but bundles of bundles of iron arrows. The range was not very long, at best, only thirty or fifty steps, which was worse than ordinary bows, but they were dense and extremely penetrating. The soldiers of Xiliang were caught off guard and were shot to the ground one after another. Even the soldiers wearing iron armor were not spared. Many of them were shot through their bodies and killed on the spot.

The soldiers of Xiliang who were fighting fiercely were severely injured and were stunned and hid, but there were people everywhere on the battlefield, and there was a place to hide.

For a moment, screams burst into tears, as if responding to the roar of Wugang's car, setting off the majesty of Wugang's car.

In the middle army, Sun Ce patted the railing of the platform and asked Guan Nan beside him. "Hugh, I'll ask you a question."

Guan Nan was stunned when he watched the chaos of Xiliang soldiers. He was watching the battle in the Central Army and saw that the Xiliang soldiers were attacking the Central Army positions. Although they had not been able to break through for a long time, the offensive was fierce. Fan Chou came up with his personal guard camp. He was worried that the Central Army would not be able to resist and was assaulted by Fan Chou in one fell swoop. He was extremely nervous and had a lot of opinions about the flashy Wu Gangche. Suddenly, he saw that Wu Gangche had a large number of injuries, and he was confused all of a sudden and did not notice what Sun Ce said.

It was not until Sun Ce asked the second time that he suddenly woke up.

"General, what are you...what do you want to ask?"

"Confucianism says that the six arts of gentlemen, archery and imperial carriage are all among them. If you drive so well, can you study archery?"

"It's very limited to knowing about fur, mainly because I don't have the chance to learn."

"Then why do you have time to learn to drive?"

Guan Nan showed an embarrassing look. "That...that was ordered by the late emperor, and he had to learn it, otherwise he would not have."

Sun Ce suddenly realized. He knew that Emperor Ling of Han had made many tricks in the palace, and driving a donkey cart himself was one of them. Guan Nan had been a man of the law, maybe he learned it at that time. He did not ask about driving anymore. "Do you know under what circumstances, the efficiency of crossbows has the highest utilization rate?"

"What does the general want to say?"

"Well, let's put it simply, is it more affordable for heavy arrows or light arrows?"

Guan Nan didn't say anything. Seeing the killing effect of Wu Gang's car, he already knew the answer. Of course, heavy arrows can better exert the power of crossbows, but he believed that what Sun Ce wanted was not such a simple answer. He also believed that Sun Ce was not showing off. He was not a fool, so how could he not see that Sun Ce was guiding him all the time and had high expectations for him.

If Sun Ce's expectations were met, a mere senior analysis would never be the end of his career.

Guan Nan thought about it for a while, but still said honestly: "This... has not been studied and I dare not make random guesses."

"Know what you know, but don't know what you don't know." Sun Ce was very satisfied with Guan Nan's answer. "Don't be anxious. If you have the opportunity to go to the baggage camp, you will know."

"Here."

While the two of them were talking, most of the Xiliang soldiers who had been pressing against the Central Army had been destroyed by the close-range shooting of Wu Gang's chariot. The situation reversed instantly. The Xiliang soldiers who were still in a rainbow just now collapsed quickly. Fan Chou rushed to the front of the formation and cut down more than a dozen defeated soldiers in succession, but still failed to reverse the situation. Countless people turned around and fled. Fan Chou and his personal guards were hit by the reverse impact of the defeated soldiers. Not only could they not move forward, but they even became extremely difficult to turn around.

Fan Chou also became nervous. He had been fighting for many years and knew the weaknesses of the Xiliang soldiers. It was easy to fight with the wind and could be called elite troops, but once the situation was unfavorable and he encountered a tough bone, he was very likely to be defeated. The famous generals of Xiliang emerged in many places, with tens of thousands of troops, and they were unable to quell the Qiang Rebellion. In the end, Duan Yi led more than 10,000 elite troops to quell the Qiang Rebellion. This is the best example.

At this moment, the defeat suddenly happened without any mental preparation, which caught him off guard and fell into trouble without any time to react. It was impossible to control his subordinates, let alone organize an attack. Fan Chou was anxious and ordered to blow the trumpets for help. The trumpets were heard tightly, and the trumpets were heard to the central army.

The central army responded and ordered Wang Fang's troops to squeeze forward, defeat Dong Yu's troops, and support Fan Chou.

But Fan Chou failed to wait for Wang Fang. Deng Zhan led 4,000 soldiers to enter from both wings and quickly controlled the situation. The defeated soldiers rushed to Dong Yu's formation, and saw that Wang Fang's troops were just two or three hundred steps away, but they had no hope of escaping. They were ruthlessly shot by Wu Gang's car and fell to the ground one after another. The formation was in a mess and could not stop Deng Zhan at all.

Deng Zhan led the personal guards to enter like the wind and rushed to Fan Chou in one breath. A thousand troops flashed, and Fan Chou and his men and horses were cut into two pieces. Blood splashed, and the steaming internal organs surged out and flowed all over the ground. Fan Chou opened his eyes wide and looked at half of his body. The spirit in his eyes quickly dissipated and turned into nothingness.

The sound of war drums that killed the generals suddenly sounded, and the personal guards beside Deng Zhan stepped forward and pulled Fan Chou's battle flag and threw it on the ground. The soldiers under his command were very excited, and they rushed in bravely while shouting loudly.

"Break! Break! Break!"

The Xiliang soldiers were shocked by the lethality of the Thousand Army. Facing Deng Zhan and his personal guards, they seemed to see a ghost. Some turned around and ran away, while others collapsed on the ground, like sieve.
