Xu Chu held a half-human-high shield, half-squatting on the ground, motionless.

The dense arrows were endless, and the big shield rattled. Although the big shield is very thick, and the outer layer is also inlaid with a layer of iron armor, it still can't completely block the close-range shot of the strong crossbow, and when the opponent's crossbowman is within thirty steps, the big shield has been continuously shot through the powerful crossbow arrows, and the arrow even shot through Xu Chu's arm armor.

But Xu Chu still didn't move, just let himself hide better, and hide his body half larger than ordinary people behind the shield as much as possible. The back of his shoulder had been scratched several times by the arrow, but he had heavy armor and was not hit head-on, except for a few scratches, it was fine.

He's waiting. Sun Ce gave them the task of dragging these pawns and not letting them leave. Carrying 5,000 men with 400 men, and 5,000 men armed with a large number of strong crossbows, this was not an easy task even for the Yicong battalion. But whether it was Xu Chu, Dian Wei, or other righteous servants, they didn't say a word, and they calmly took over the task without any accidents.

The righteous cavalry is the sharpest spear under Sun Ce, and the righteous battalion is the strongest shield and sword under Sun Ce, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is deservedly the strongest. Long before Sun Ce had the righteous servant rider, they were Sun Ce's nirvana. It's just been a bit quiet lately. Watching the righteous servants make meritorious contributions one after another, invincible, although they didn't say anything, everyone held their breath, waiting for an opportunity to prove their worth again.

Now, that opportunity is in front of us. Despite the fact that several of the righteous servants were ill-prepared and were shot by strong crossbows, they gritted their teeth and silently cut off the shaft of the arrow, and tied the wound with the prepared cloth. At this time, they can't pull out the arrow, first, they don't have time, and second, a lot of bleeding will make them lose their combat effectiveness, so they can only cut off the arrow shaft that is too long, so as not to affect the battle later.

The distance of the assault should be less than ten paces. After ten steps, the speed drops, so they have to wait a little longer until the other person gets closer.

But the other party was obviously aware of their intentions, and after thirty paces, they stopped advancing, intending to inflict heavy damage on them with their crossbows, and then let the sword and shield bearers and spearmen come forward to attack. The battle situation was stalemate for a while, but it was also in Xu Chu's arms. The battlefield on the west side has long since subsided, but Sun Ce has not returned, thinking that he has encountered new troubles. But it doesn't matter, no matter how long he delays, the righteous camp has the confidence to hold on until he returns.

At this time, Dian Wei, who was more than a hundred steps behind, shouted. "Zhongkang, southeast."

Xu Chu turned his head and glanced at the southeast direction. There is smoke and dust in the southeast direction, the smoke and dust are very narrow, and they are not too big, it looks like there should be cavalry approaching, but the number is not too much, only one or two hundred horses. Xu Chu glanced farther away and immediately concluded that these people were coming from the south side of them. It may be Sun Ce, or it may be Yuan Jun's reinforcements.

He immediately looked at the Yuan army's position on the opposite side, and found that the Yuan army's position was being adjusted, some of the crossbowmen were moving to the south side, and the arrow array directly opposite had become a little thinner. Xu Chu quickly made a decision, he raised his hand and made a gesture to Dian Wei.

Dian Wei nodded vigorously and gave the order to attack. The two hundred Wu Mengying rebels with shields immediately stood up, formed a dense shield array, and began to rush forward. Seeing this scene, Captain Yuan Junqiang immediately ordered some of the crossbowmen to change their targets and block the Dian Wei Department. Dian Wei was about one hundred and fifty paces away from them, and he couldn't kill without a strong crossbow.

The pressure on the Wuwei Battalion was suddenly much less, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Chu suddenly got up and charged forward with a big shield in one hand, and the Wuwei Battalion immediately followed. The special shield is twice as heavy as the ordinary shield, not everyone has Xu Chu's divine power, and can be raised with one hand, most shield players must use the shield in both hands to advance, and their safety can only be handed over to their companions, but they cooperate very tacitly, forming a shield array in the assault, and providing maximum protection ability.

Xu Chu rushed to the front, under the greatest pressure, and the big shield had been shot to a thousand holes, and it was nailed with dense arrows, like a dense thatch. Xu Chu raised a shield in his left hand, held a thousand troops in his right hand, took a big stride, and quickly killed the bow and crossbow position of the Yuan army on the opposite side.

The Yuan army was adjusting the formation, some of the crossbowmen were transferred to the south side of the formation, and some of the crossbowmen were shooting at the Dian Wei department, and the number of people dealing with Xu Chu's department was greatly reduced, and several changes occurred at the same time, and the originally strict formation was somewhat loosened. Facing Xu Chu and the others who were rapidly approaching, they were all a little panicked.

Thirty steps, just a breath or two, the crossbowmen had just finished shooting a round of arrows, and Xu Chu and the others rushed in front of them. Xu Chuhu roared, picked up the big shield in his hand, and smashed it at the sword and shield hands guarding the formation and the spear that reached out of the shield array.

"Uh-" The big shield collided with the spear first, the spearman's palm was in sharp pain, his arms were numb, and he involuntarily took a step back. The power of the big shield continued unabated, and then collided with the shield of the sword and shield hand, making a deafening loud noise, and the shield hand who was in the back of it was like being hit by a bison, his chest was stuffy, his eyes were dark, and even people flew up with shields.

Xu Chu flew in, the thousand army broke the counterattack, a sword and shield hand and a spearman on the right side were killed, the thousand army broke half a circle, the spearman on the left side was cut in two, and the thousand army broke the remaining momentum, and split on the shoulder of the sword and shield hand. The sword and shield hand could not bear it and threw himself forward.

Xu Chu threw the big shield, held the thousand troops in both hands, shouted in a low voice, took three steps forward, and then cut three more people.

Wu Wei Yingyi followed, burst into the formation, and then spread out to the two wings, and the thousand troops waved like wheels, slashing one crossbowman after another. The crossbowmen's melee combat ability was almost zero, and they had no power to fight back in the face of these lions and angry tigers, and in the blink of an eye, they were killed and wounded, and the formation was in chaos, and many people began to flee.

The pressure on Dian Wei, who was charging, was greatly reduced, and he quickened his pace, and also rushed into the Yuan army's formation.

Although the Yuan army was outnumbered, ten times larger than the Yicong battalion, the real threat to the Yicong battalion was the 3,000 strong crossbows, and once they were suddenly in front of them, they were not the opponents of these 400 Yicong at all. Under the heavy blows of Xu Chu and Dian Chu, the spearmen, sword and shield hands who tried to step forward to block were defeated and retreated, and they couldn't resist at all, and the strong crossbowmen were also seriously injured, and the formation was disturbed.

Yuan Tan, who rode his horse and galloped wildly, hoping that the strong crossbowman could block Sun Ce, saw it from afar and secretly complained bitterly. He glanced back and saw that Sun Ce and the others were getting closer and closer, so he didn't have time to think about it, turned his horse's head, and continued to gallop eastward.

After a while, Sun Ce and others chased after him, and saw that Xu Chu and Dian Wei were killing the Quartet, chasing Yuan Jun with his head and running away, he reined in his mount and shouted loudly: "Zhongkang, Zigu, don't be like these wastes, hurry up and get on the horse and follow me to chase Yuan Tan." Before the words fell, he shook the reins of the horse and chased Yuan Tan again.

Xu Chu sent a signal for Yi Cong, who was guarding the horses, to lead the horses over. The righteous servants abandoned their opponents one after another, jumped on their horses, and followed Sun Ce to the east. When they walked away, Sergeant Yuan came back to his senses and looked at each other, shocked and shocked.

"Who are these people?" Questions were raised. "How do you look like a mad tiger?"

"I don't know."

After a while, someone said timidly: "I know the leader, he seems to be Xu Chu, the ranger of Peiguo." ”

The soldier who questioned him frowned, horrified. "The one who dragged the cow upside down?"

"That's right, it's him."

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then stroked his forehead and sighed. "My God, Lao Tzu is really fateful, he actually walked in front of Xu Zhongkang and survived."
