Chapter 51

Zhang Yi was indeed on guard against Sun Ce's assassination, so when he turned around, he took down his bow and kept an eye on his back.

After running out of the shooting range, he didn't hear the sound of the bow and arrow shooting, so he hung the bow on the horse with confidence.

"This Sun Ce looks like a gentleman."

And Sun Ce is here.

"I disdain to hurt someone behind the back, not to mention that this person is somewhat similar to Ziyi."

Everyone is silent, Ziyi is Tai Shici.At the beginning, Sun Ce and Tai Shici fought in Shenting, and they were evenly matched, and they cherished each other.

However, even though Sun Ce admired Zhang Yi very much, he led troops to attack Zhang Yi's camp the next day.

Zhang Yi received the news as early as Sun Ce's move, and immediately organized his soldiers to stand in formation, place their horses, place their shields, set up their spears, and adjust their bows and arrows.

Sun Ce arrived outside Zhang Yi's camp, looked at the defense of Zhang Yi's camp, and couldn't help admiring: "This Zhang Yi is really capable. If I didn't know that most of his soldiers were soldiers, I might have been bluffed by him."

The three veterans behind Sun Ce came out and said to him, "My lord, let me attack for a while. If the opponent's defense is not good, my lord will press on with the army."

"Alright!" Sun Ce nodded, "But the three generals must be careful not to be injured by Liu Ya."

"My lord, don't worry!"

These three veterans are Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han Dang who followed Sun Jian back then.They are also people who have been fighting for a long time. They have seen all kinds of opponents, and they don't take Zhang Yi to heart.

Three veteran generals led troops to attack the camp, so Zhang Yi naturally had to give them a good reception.He waved the command flag continuously and directed the archers to change direction. After the three teams entered the shooting range, he began to give the order: "One, shoot with all your strength!"

One is an angle of about 45 degrees, which is the way Zhang Yi set the angle for archers.Except one is the second and third, the second is the angle of about thirty degrees, and the third is the position of about sixty degrees.

The reason for this setting is that an angle of 45 degrees is most commonly used, and an angle of [-] degrees is used at least.

In addition to the angle setting, there is also the strength setting. Full strength is to draw the bow fully, half strength is to draw half of the bow, and in addition, there is most half, which is to draw the bow seven to eight minutes full.

These six settings and nine changes can handle most of the combat situations of archers.

Despite Zhang Yi's order, more than 1000 arrows poured over Han Dang's team at once.

When Han Dang saw countless arrows shooting at the same time, he broke into a cold sweat.He quickly raised his shield and weapon, blocking with his shield and dialing his weapon at the same time.

Han Dang successfully blocked the arrow and he was not hit.But the soldiers behind him were not so lucky. Although those soldiers also had shields and weapons, they did not have the armor Han Dang had, nor were they as skilled in martial arts as Han Dang.

You must know that a set of armor is worth more than ten guan, and Sun Ce has tens of thousands of soldiers, and if they are all armored, there will be hundreds of thousands of guan, which is almost the annual tax of the entire big man.Sun Ce couldn't afford it at all, and it was very laborious for him to support these soldiers, let alone armor.

Now it is Yuan Shao's army that wears the most armor. Only the wealthy Yuan family can support a lot of armor.

Although Han Dang is an old minister of the Sun family, he has a foreign surname after all. If Sun Ce issued armor, he would give priority to his own Sun family, such as his uncle Sun Jing, and several brothers Sun Ben, Sun Yi, Sun Fu, Sun Hao, Sun He et al.

After this round of arrows went down, Han Dang's subordinates suffered at least a hundred casualties.Han Dang didn't stop. He knew that if he stopped at this time, he would be waiting for death, so he immediately shouted and continued to charge forward.

"One, shoot with all your strength!"

Zhang Yi continued to direct the archers to shoot Han Dang's troops. It would be better to cut off one of Han's fingers than to injure five of them.

There was a rain of arrows, but Han Dang still resisted. This time, he didn't look behind, but stared at the front. He wanted to break through the enemy's formation and kill Zhang Yi who was commanding the enemy on the high slope. Solve the hatred in my heart!
"Both of you, most of your strength!"

While giving the order, Zhang Yi checked the command flag, held the bow in his hand, and aimed at Han Dang with the arrow full.

"shooting!"

Zhang Yidang shot the arrow first, Han Dang only noticed the rain of arrows on his head, but did not see Zhang Yi's cold arrow.When he raised the shield, he saw the cold arrow from the corner of his vision, and immediately knocked it with the ring knife, and missed the arrow, not letting the arrow hit his chest.

But Han Dang was still hit by an arrow. The arrow hit his lower abdomen, penetrated two layers of armor, and sank three inches.Because of the pain, Han Dang's shield was not well protected, and he was hit by three arrows in both arms.

"General!"

Han Dang's soldiers immediately rushed up to protect Han Dang, "Hurry up, take the general back."

Han Dang was injured, and his subordinates lost their spirit, so they had to retreat.When Han Dang retreated, the pressure on Huang Gai and Cheng Pu increased. When Zhang Yi commanded the archer to change direction and gave him a round of arrow rain, his energy was lost immediately.

Sun Ce watched from a distance, knowing that he couldn't get anything cheap, so he had to order: "Withdraw the troops!"

Sun Ce retreated, and Zhang Yi did not pursue him. It is inappropriate for him to have too many wars with Sun Ce now.Just let people clean up the battlefield, and captured nearly 1000 wounded soldiers of Sun Ce.

Sun Ce temporarily withdrew his troops, then sent out scouts to survey the terrain to see if he could find a way to mobilize Zhang Yi.He finally figured it out. Zhang Yi was very good at defense, commanding all the troops to advance and retreat in an orderly manner, but he didn't know what would happen if he started to move.

However, just when he was thinking of ways to defeat Zhang Yi, he suddenly received a military report from Zhou Yu.Liu Biao of Jingzhou sent his nephew Liu Qing to invade Yuzhang County. Zhou Yu was afraid that the governor of Yuzhang would surrender to Liu Qing, so he urged Sun Ce to capture Yuzhang first and then attack Jiujiang.

After Sun Ce received the military report, he had no choice but to look at Zhang Yi's military camp bitterly. This was the first time he had suffered a loss and could not pay it back.

But there is no way. Compared with Jiujiang County, which is difficult to chew, Yuzhang County, which is easy to chew, is more important.He ordered Zhou Yu to gather the counties in Lujiang as soon as possible, and to guard against Zhang Yi's possible counterattack, and then led his troops to retreat.

Sun Ce withdrew his troops?Zhang Yi was also confused. He never thought that Sun Ce would give up so easily.Although Sun Ce's loss was serious, it was still within the tolerable range!
But when the scouts reported back, Sun Ce retreated.It wasn't until half a month later that news came that Sun Ce had occupied Yuzhang, that Zhang Yi believed it.

Only then did he feel how inconvenient it was to not be informed, and he wasted half a month here.

This also made Zhang Yi determined that he must build an intelligence network well, otherwise he would be too passive.Zhang Yi got Chen Gong's resourcefulness, and he can be said to be the smartest group of people in the world.

But Chen Gong's resourcefulness also has weaknesses, that is, he is cautious and does not do things he is not sure of, so he lost to Cao Cao.
