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

"Arrogant!" the water bandit leader yelled: "Remember, the one who killed you is Zheng Bao!"

Zheng Bao?

Sun Ce frowned, this was not an unknown person. If he didn't handle it well this time, things would be very difficult.

Faced with the siege of hundreds of bandits, Sun Ce only felt that he was in a little trouble.

But the name Zheng Bao makes Sun Ce feel a bit tricky. This person is not famous in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but he is a hero in official history. History records that he was brave, courageous, and outstanding in talent and force.

Maybe just by saying this, it is difficult to have an intuitive impression. If you give it a reference, you will know how difficult it is.

Lu Su, the governor of Soochow and the top strategic advisor who first proposed Soochow's version of "Longzhong Dui", was not optimistic about Sun Quan at first. At Liu Ye's suggestion, he planned to defect to Zheng Bao. He had already buried his grandmother and packed up his surname.

Li was about to leave. However, Zhou Yu snatched Lu Su's mother to Wu County first, and Lu Su had to go to Wu County to see Zhou Yu. Only then was Zhou Yu forcefully staying and recommending her to Sun Quan so that Sun Quan could use her to become a king.

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

Of course, it cannot be said that Lu Su has bad vision. After all, it is obvious to everyone how good Sun Quan is. With an army of 100,000, he was repeatedly defeated by the generals of Wei State. He is Lu Su, and he does not look down on Sun Quan.

That is to say, in the eyes of Lu Su, Liu Ye and others, Zheng Bao is more talented, brave, and courageous than Sun Quan. He is a very powerful and powerful prince. The combination of him and Lu Su is almost equivalent to Zhang Xiujia

Shang Jia Xu.

However, the people in the Jianghuai area were impetuous, resolute, and looked down upon death. They fought with great dignity and deceit, which gave Sun Ce a headache. The elite soldiers of Huaisi came from here.

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

In particular, Sun Ce noticed that Zheng Bao was wearing a set of iron armor, and the water bandits also had swords and guns in their hands, instead of rebel weapons such as bamboo poles and hoes.

This shows that Zheng Bao's camp is making armors and weapons in an organized manner. It is even possible that this water bandit has already undergone preliminary training and understands formations and military discipline.

Facing the water thieves rushing up from the waves, Sun Ce directed his soldiers to form formations while boosting their morale. With great courage, he shouted: "Thieves, do you know our army's formation?"

Zheng Bao replied disdainfully: "What kind of weird formation dares to be called a military formation?"

"I'll let all of you remember it today. If a general doesn't know the Yuanyang Formation, it will be in vain to read military books!"

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

Although Sun Ce's words were meant to shock and exaggerate, they are not unreasonable. As the most famous military formation in Zhuxia, there is basically no man in later generations who can't show off.

Although Sun Ce did not have a wolf sword in his hand, the effect of the halberd was similar. Chen Wu held the sword and shield in front, Cheng Zi held the halberd behind, and behind him were two soldiers holding spears, but at the end

, the Yuanyang Formation originally consisted of soldiers armed with palladium or fire blunderbuss, but Sun Ce did not have fire blunderbuss, so he replaced them with archers.

The Yuanyang Formation was symmetrical on the left and right, and the other team had the same layout as this one. Sun Ce stood at the end of the formation with the extra soldier holding a bow and arrow to strengthen the long-range firepower of the formation.

Later generations will be able to tell at a glance that this formation is a typical mandarin duck formation, exactly the same as the indoor tactical formation of modern special forces.

But it is a pity that Zheng Bao does not recognize 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.
