Overlord!

Chapter 3 For generals who don’t know mandarin duck formations, it’s useless to read military books

Seeing the water bandits, Lu Fan was excited, and the urgent problem of insufficient food and grass was solved!

Just as he was about to ask, the words stopped suddenly.You can't directly ask them whether there is food and grass in the camp in public. Isn't that directly exposing the lack of food and grass in the army to all the recruits who have taken refuge?

At this time, Lu Fan was even more certain that this must be the fact that the general was looking for water thieves in the name of a lady.

After all, the soldiers would not think too much about asking the female relatives, and having female relatives means having spare food.

He thought he had seen through the truth of the matter, so he laughed excitedly and asked the water bandit, "Are there any female relatives in your camp?"

But he didn't expect the excitement of this moment to leave a deep impression on the soldiers.

Countless people looked at each other in blank dismay. Unexpectedly, Lu Sima, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who usually looks upright, would be so enthusiastic and excited when he mentioned ladies.

Frightened by Lu Fan's smile, the three water bandits shivered and quickly replied: "Yes, yes. There is a woman we snatched and kept in the camp."

There are beauties!
Sun Ce's eyes lit up, he stood up from the Hu bed, raised his long knife in his hand, and shouted to the guards beside him: "Board the boat! Go to the water thief camp to rescue the lady! In today's battle, those who make the first move will personally Reward the two beauties!"

Although the matter of time travel was not satisfactory, it was not without benefits.That is the weak otaku in the previous life. Now he not only has a perfect skin, but also has a body that can be called the best in the world.

Sun Ce really had reason to believe that if the water thieves were generally small bean sprouts like Douer, he could kill them indiscriminately.

The first batch of three small boats can only accommodate 15 people. It may be very dangerous to face a large number of water thieves, but everyone still signed up enthusiastically.

It doesn't matter whether you are a lady or not, the key is that everyone wants to eliminate harm for the people and wipe out water thieves.

Soldiers scrambled to be the first, and the ships were soon overwhelmed.

They came from all directions to seek refuge with Sun Ce, didn't they just want to follow him to get rich and have a family and a career?

So a group of soldiers with glowing eyes waited eagerly on the boat, and left a passage for him to wait for him to board.

Sun Ce held a long sword in his hand and stepped onto the bow with one stride. Chen Wuze followed with Sun Ce's long spear in his left hand and his war bow in his right hand.

There are six out of thirty military weapons, and the bow is the first; there are eight out of ten martial arts, and the bow is the first.

In any dynasty, the mention of a fierce general means that he has extraordinary physical strength, can draw a hard bow, and is easy to bow a horse.

The brave soldiers who were able to grab onto the boat and follow Sun Ce may not have complete armor, but they all brought a pair of good bows and arrows.

All of them are ambitious and smug, intending to show their skills, and rush to the battlefield with the boat.

It's just that Sun Ce vaguely felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, and it took him a long time to remember, and asked Cheng Zi beside him, "By the way, did you ask what the name of the water bandit leader is?"

Cheng Zi was the son of Cheng Pu and one of Sun Ce's personal guards. He had extraordinary physical strength and courage.He was born in Youzhou. He is the best young general in the army who is good at double belts and two swords, and gallops left and right. He wears a set of two armors. In addition to a long halberd and a short knife, he has two full pots of arrows hanging on his waist. A strong bow.

These equipments are all equipped on war horses, and now they are taken off and carried on his back, distracting him too much energy.So he said casually: "I didn't ask too much. They are all a bunch of chickens and dogs. They can be killed easily, so why ask for names."

"It makes sense." Sun Ce nodded.

A generation of military god Li Shimin once said to Yu Chigong: "I hold the bow and arrow, and the public holds the lance to accompany me. Although there are millions of people, I am nothing!" military situation.

I have the physique of a domineering king, if I still fear the hundreds of water thieves in the district, then it is too hopeless.

If you encounter water bandits, you will be shot to death with one arrow.

The three small boats sailed in the lake for about two quarters of an hour, and finally found the water village in the direction pointed by the water thief.

The water village was built on a small island full of weeds, with wooden walls and simple camp gates, which looked quite like a military camp.But the variegated clothes hanging on the wall of the camp destroyed the chill atmosphere of the environment.In particular, there are women's skirts and short jackets among the clothes, which clearly shows that the military discipline here needs to be strengthened.

Chen Wu was beside Sun Ce, and said to Sun Ce: "General, the water bandits have found us. A dozen ships have already left the camp and are encircling us."

Sun Ce stood at the bow of the boat with a knife in his hand, and said very calmly, "Take out your bows and arrows, and wait for these water thieves to approach."

There were a total of 15 people on the three ships. Except for the three soldiers who supported the oars, the remaining 12 people could bend their bows and shoot arrows.

There were more than 40 water bandits, and they showed off their power from a distance, asking: "Who dares to come to Chaohu to act wild? Those who know how to do it should be arrested quickly and hand over their belongings."

There was no place to hide on the lake, and these water bandits were convinced that there were only three small boats within a few miles, so they surrounded them carelessly.

Sun Ce tilted his head slightly, and said to Cheng Zi, "They want property, you give them a big treasure."

Cheng Zi laughed and got up, stretched out his ape arms, took out an arrow, bent his bow like a full moon, the next moment the arrow was fired, and flew towards the water bandits roaring.

"Ah!" A shrill scream came from among the water bandits.

"Zhuzi, how dare you stab someone in the back!"

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot 'em."

Enraged, the water bandits fought back desperately with red eyes.

The next moment, everyone on both sides saw Sun Ce standing at the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back, with a calm demeanor, completely ignoring the arrows.

More than a dozen arrows were shot, most of them scattered into the water, and only one was nailed to the boat by luck, causing no damage at all.

This scene instantly inspired the soldiers of the Sun family to the extreme, and the soldiers opened their chests and shouted: "The general is mighty!"

The morale of the water thieves plummeted, after all, this was too much of a blow to the morale of the army.The other party looked down upon them so contemptuously that they completely treated them as a bunch of trash, standing where they were and letting them shoot, they couldn't even hit them!
This was a matter of course, Cheng Zi was holding a strong military bow that could shoot a hundred paces through leather armor.At this distance, Cheng Zi could shoot the water bandits to death, but the arrows used by the water bandits to fight back with hunting bows and soft bows obviously did not have enough range, and their accuracy was extremely poor.

Sun Ce had figured this out a long time ago, so... this time he succeeded in pretending to be it!

The two sides were walking towards each other, approaching at an extremely fast speed. Before the pirates had time to recover their morale, the distance between the two sides was less than twenty steps, and they could see each other's faces clearly. Sun Ce suddenly raised his strong bow at his feet, Leading strings like a full moon, he roared: "Second and third sons, follow me to shoot Xiaoxiao."

More than a dozen arrows shot at close range with extremely high accuracy, killing five water thieves in an instant.Especially in the fastest boat, there were five people in total, one person was shot dead by Sun Ce, one person was shot dead by Cheng Zi, and another person was shot dead by random arrows from all the soldiers. A water bandit who got off was frightened and screamed hysterically on the boat.

The rest of the water bandits shouted and cursed: "These scoundrels are attacking and shooting arrows again!"

"Ah! I'm so angry, these rascals have no martial virtue."

"No, big brother, they seem to be wearing armor and pockets, they are the Han army!"

The two sides approached, and the arrows flew across.But the ones who fell were all water bandits. Although they had a large number of people, they only had more than a dozen soft bows and hunting bows. They were barely enough to shoot prey, but it was completely foolish to shoot through an army protected by heavy armor. .

However, the arrows shot by the officers and men of the Sun family were sure to fall. The group of water bandits were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, and only a few of them were wearing leather armor. They were unarmed, and their ability to resist arrows was extremely weak.

After only a moment of fighting, 14 of the mob were killed, and the morale of the bandits collapsed. The remaining 20 people jumped into the water crying to avoid the flying arrows.

The result of the battle terrified the water bandits watching in the water fortress. They dispatched more than a dozen boats, but they were easily pierced by the other three small boats.Those who come are all a group of killing gods, right?

A group of water thieves were in a hurry to close the camp gate. Sun Ce stood at the bow of the boat, raised his long lance with his right arm, and threw it vigorously. The long lance roared in the air like an off-string crossbow spear. A leader was pierced through the chest and nailed to the ground.This terrifying scene frightened the water thieves around him to immediately scatter with their heads in their hands, fleeing with their lives.

The soldiers of the Sun family also cheered together, and Chen Wu praised: "The general is superb! This throw hits the crowd, horrifying all the enemies."

Sun Ce put his hands behind his back, grasping the long knife, with a calm expression on his face.If you just look closely, you can find that his face is flushed and he is a little guilty.He would never admit that he actually wanted to shoot the person in the front.This gun... is a bit too big!

The boat docked, and eleven soldiers followed Sun Ce off the boat and entered the water village.The other three went back by punting to capture the water bandits who fell into the water. They would watch the water bandits with sharp knives and row the boat to the shore to pick up other Sun family soldiers to come to support them.

Although there are only eleven subordinates, Sun Ce is very calm. They didn't even have a single wound in the battle just now. If the water thief is at this level, the soldiers of the Sun family can invincible the enemy. The halberd and spear followed Sun Ce swaggeringly into the water thief camp.

At this moment, the water thief leader had gathered hundreds of water pirates, and they rushed out of the water village.Seeing that Sun Ce and others were in a tight formation, with bright swords and guns, he shouted: "Tiege, if you know my name, you dare to come here to provoke me."

Sun Ce drew his bow and shot, and said with a smile, "What is your last name, you have to ask your mother."

But a scene that surprised all the Sun family soldiers appeared. The lightning-like arrow of his general was actually blocked by an unknown water thief leader. At the very moment, the water thief leader grabbed the shield of the soldiers beside him. , stood in front of him.

But Sun Ce shot with a strong bow, the arrow pierced through the oar shield, and the arrow pierced through.This scene made the other party's eyes crack open, and at the same time, he immediately dodged sideways, and Shishi grazed his chest armor, leaving a sharp and piercing sound.

Sun Ce's former ease and joy, and disdain for Xiaoxiao all dissipated at this moment, and his expression became solemn and solemn.

If you fail to shoot the leader of the other party, you will have to face the siege of hundreds of water bandits after you have waited for 12 people.Unexpectedly, this small water village is actually Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there are still people who can block the arrow that will kill him.

"Since you can block my arrow, I'm interested in hearing your name."

"Arrogance!" The water bandit leader roared: "Remember, Zheng Bao is the one who killed you!"

Zheng Bao?

Sun Ce frowned, this is not someone who is in danger.If it is not handled well this time, things will be very difficult.

Faced with the siege of hundreds of bandits, Sun Ce just felt a little troublesome.

But the name Zheng Bao made Sun Ce feel a little tricky.This person is not well-known in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but he is a hero in the official history. The history records that he is brave and courageous, with outstanding talents and military strength.

It may be difficult to have an intuitive impression just by saying this.Give him a reference, and you will know how tricky he is.

The governor of Soochow Wu, Lu Su, the top strategist who first proposed the Soochow version of "Longzhong Dui", was not optimistic about Sun Quan at first, and planned to defect to Zheng Bao under Liu Ye's suggestion.He has already buried his grandmother, packed his surname Li and is ready to leave.As a result, Zhou Yu snatched Lu Su's mother to Wu Jun first, and Lu Su had to go to Wu Jun to meet Zhou Yu.Only then was Zhou Yu forced to stay, and strongly recommended it to Sun Quan, so that Sun Quan could use it to become a king.

It can be said that without the accidental event of the death of Lu Su's grandmother, Lu Su, a top talent, would have nothing to do with Soochow, and would have been surrendered to Zheng Bao's account early on.

Of course, it can't be said that Lu Su's vision is wrong. After all, everyone can see what level Sun Quan is.I am Lu Su, and I don't look down on Sun Quan.

That is to say, in the eyes of Lu Su, Liu Ye and others, this Zheng Bao is stronger than Sun Quan in talent, courage, and courage, and he is a very powerful prince.The combination of him and Lu Su is almost equivalent to Zhang Xiu plus Jia Xu.

However, the people in the Jianghuai area are unruly, resolute and decisive, and they regard death as home, and the war is expensive and deceitful, which makes Sun Ce a headache.Huaisi's elite soldiers came from here.

Zheng Bao led hundreds of water bandits to besiege, and after the bloody battle, even if the soldiers of the Sun family were brave and good at fighting, they would inevitably suffer some damage.

In particular, Sun Ce noticed that Zheng Bao was still wearing a set of iron armor, and the water bandits also had knives and guns in their hands, not rebel weapons such as bamboo poles and hoes.

This shows that Zheng Baoying is building armor and weapons in an organized way.It is even possible that this water bandit has already undergone preliminary training and understands formation and military discipline.

Facing the water thieves rushing up, Sun Ce encouraged the soldiers to set up the formation while boosting their morale and shouting loudly, "Tiege, do you know our formation?"

Zheng Bao replied disdainfully: "What kind of weird formation dare to call it an army formation?"

"I'll let all of you remember it today. If you don't know the mandarin duck formation, it's useless to read military books!"

That's right, what Sun Ce arranged was the mandarin duck formation that was most suitable for the water network in the south of the Yangtze River and the hilly terrain.

Although Sun Ce's sentence has the meaning of deterrent and exaggerated, it is not without reason.As the most famous military formation in Zhuxia, there is basically no man who can't put it on in later generations.

Although Sun Ce didn't have a wolf's whisk in his hand, the effect of the long halberd was similar. Chen Wu held the sword and shield in front, Cheng Zi held the long halberd behind, followed by two soldiers holding spears, but at the end In the mandarin duck formation, there were originally soldiers with guns or guns, but Sun Ce didn't have guns, so he replaced him with an archer.

The formation of mandarin ducks is symmetrical from left to right, and the arrangement of the other team is exactly the same as this one.Sun Ce stood at the end of the formation with the extra soldier holding a bow and arrow, strengthening the long-range firepower of the army formation.

This formation can be seen by the world at a glance. It is a typical mandarin duck formation, which is exactly the same as the modern special forces indoor tactical formation.

But it's a pity that Zheng Bao doesn't know such a classic formation in this era.

So after Zheng Bao cursed angrily, he took the lead and led all the water thieves to attack.
