The Shenpai Central Army collapsed, but the battle did not end, but instead became more intense and cruel.

Huangshui came from the west along the southern foot of Chuzhang Mountain, turned at the southern end of Qihujian, and then moved south. Shen Pei's eldest son Shen Ying led 5,000 people to set up a formation at the southern end of Qihujian, blocking Qihujian and protecting Shen Pei's rear path. However, the right front of the formation was Lu Su's position. Shen Pei was worried that Lu Su would come down from Chuzhang Mountain and assist Sun Ce in launching an attack, so he arranged his second son Shen Jun here. In addition, the left rear of the formation was very close to Lu Zhao's position, and Shen Pei arranged for the descendant of Zi Shenhua to set up a formation here.

As for the front of the formation, Shen Cheng had enough confidence. Apart from Shen Rong and the 500 Death Warriors, he did not arrange the most powerful generals. He believed that the long-range strike power composed of 4,000 powerful crossbowmen was enough to make Yi Sun Ce give up his attempt to attack head-on. Especially when he saw Sun Ce preparing for war with a horizontal formation, he was even more sure of this.

Shen Jun and Shen Hua thought so too, so they didn't expect Sun Ce to break through from the front, and they succeeded in one blow. When Shen Pei realized the danger and transferred reinforcements from both wings, they also responded, but they saw the chaotic central army having no choice. First, they were more than 200 steps away from the central army, and they were already outside the range of the powerful crossbows, and they could not carry out long-range reinforcements; second, the Jiangdong Army's crossbow cart extended and attacked, with amazing momentum, especially Shen Jun, the right wing of the central army covered and attacked by the crossbow cart was right in front of him, with a messy body, which made people frightened.

Of course, the most important thing is that Sun Ce's attack speed is too fast. Before they came up with a countermeasure, Sun Ce had already broken the interception of Shen Pei Central Army.

Seeing Sun Ce's battle flag appear on the ground, Shen Pei's big flag disappeared, Shen Jun and Shen Hua were in a hurry. They didn't know whether Shen Pei was alive or dead, whether they should counterattack or retreat, and they didn't even know who to ask for instructions from. Shen Pei was strong, and even Yuan Shao had to give in to three points. His nephew was even more submissive in front of him, and never dared to disobey. Shen Jun and others were used to everything being decided by Shen Pei. When Shen Pei suddenly disappeared, they were a little confused.

This is the case with the children of the Shen family, and other generals are not much better. The sound of war drums inquiring for a while was heard, but they could not convey any meaningful information.

Sun Ce stood on the ground, looking at the Jizhou army in chaos, secretly rejoiced. All of this was expected by Guo Jia. Guo Jia not only saw the weakness of the Jizhou army, but also had a deep grasp of Shen Pei. He concluded that once Shen Pei lost his position, the Jizhou army would be in chaos, just like a giant with developed limbs and simple minds, with only brute force but no way to exert it.

Sun Ce took advantage of this rare opportunity to adjust his formation again.

Wuwei Camp and Wu Mengying formed two round formations around the earthen hill. Qianjun Break tried hard to kill Shen Pei's personal guards one by one in front of the formation. At the same time, the yellow ox wearing iron armor pulled a crossbow cart to the earthen hill. The two crossbow carts were walking side by side, and the crossbow cart could not be launched for the time being, but they could provide cover for the strong archers. The driver led the yellow ox and ran as fast as possible, and rushed to the surrounding earthen hill. The rear of the cart was outward and the yellow ox was inward, and fifty crossbow carts formed a second round formation.

As the crossbow chariot arrived at Tugang, Feng Kai and Jiang Qin also changed the formation and gradually filled it into the circular formation.

It sounds simple, but it is extremely troublesome to do. Even if the Jiangdong Army is well-trained, it still takes a lot of time. If it weren't for the Jizhou Army's leaderless group, it would be hard to say whether they could complete the formation change. If the opponent was Tuo Yi, Sun Ce would never dare to think about it.

Seeing that the three-level round formation was completed, Sun Ce also let go of the last bit of worry. According to the simplest mathematical knowledge, the diameter of the circle doubled and the area tripled, and the round formation is the best formation for defense. If the round formation is completed, not to mention that Shen Pei has been captured, even if Shen Pei is given another chance to command the battle, he will not be able to conquer this round formation.

Infantry guards the shield, crossbow chariots, and strong archers shoot with all their strength, splashing the rain of arrows all over the sky, and the crossbow chariots go far, and attacking enemies a hundred steps away without distinction. Strong archers are close to each other and shoot at enemies within a hundred steps. The shooters led by the Xie brothers and Deng Xin hold strong arches and crossbows, and specifically picking worthy targets to shoot. Different people perform their duties, orderly, busy without chaos.

At the same time, Sun Ce ordered people to tie Shen Pei up and hang it on the flagpole. In order to prevent Shen Pei from waking up, he bit his tongue and committed suicide again, and even blocked his mouth with cloth. Seeing Shen Pei, the generals of Jizhou Army ordered the powerful crossbowmen to be careful not to shoot Shen Pei. If Shen Pei was not dead but was shot to death by them, no one could bear the responsibility.

The powerful crossbowman threw himself into a rat and was afraid of weapons. Sun Ce's pressure was greatly reduced, and he could finally watch the battle calmly. The weather was too strong, and even though he was wearing a single-layer battle robe made of Yue cloth, the battle still made him sweat all over. Not only was his clothes soaked in sweat, but he even had a lot of sweat in his boots.

This kind of weather is really not suitable for fighting. Kill Yuan Shao as soon as possible and I will go back to Gepi to escape the summer heat.

While complaining, Sun Ce watched the position and looked for the location of the Shen family's children. So far, he has only completed the first step of the entire tactic: beheading, which is still some distance away from truly destroying the 20,000 Jizhou troops.

Looking around, there are soldiers of Jizhou soldiers around, densely packed and crowded, and the flags are dazzling. It is really not easy to find Shen Jun. Fortunately, there are many first-class Sagittarius around Sun Ce. Sagittarius usually have extraordinary vision and are good at discovering targets in a chaotic environment. With their help, Sun Ce determined the locations of Shen Jun and Shen Hua.

Then he saw Shen Rong again.

Sun Ce was very surprised. When he was rushing to the battlefield, he saw Shen Rong and also saw Shen Rong avoiding the side in time, but he didn't expect Shen Rong to survive. He thought that under that situation, even if Shen Rong was not killed, he would be trampled to death by someone or horse. But now it seems that although Shen Rong's face was covered in blood, he couldn't stand up straight and needed support, he had no worries about life, and was talking to Shen Hua.

It's really a good man who doesn't live long and has a disaster for three thousand years. Since that's the case, I'll kill him again to see how good his luck is. He was captured and just escaped from death. His courage would probably be broken long ago, and it would never be possible to muster up the courage to fight. The frightened bird can act as a target of attack. But this guy is a bit far away, and even a first-class archer like Xie Kuan and Deng Xin may not be sure to hit it. It would not be easy if the infantry attacked with a hundred people in the middle.

Just as Sun Ce was considering whether to go into battle in person, Guo Wu suddenly stretched out his hand. When Sun Ce saw that Ma Chao and Bai Lishi were riding from the west, circled around a distance, and were heading towards Shenrong and Shenhua brothers.

Sun Ce smiled with his palms. Brother Ma hadn't been satisfied with killing, so he came to grab the merit again.

Almost at the same time, a long [Update Fast] horn sounded in the distance. When Sun Ce looked over, he saw that smoke and dust rolling on the horizon in the distance, rushing straight into the sky, which was the characteristic of the cavalry's rapid approaching.
