Chapter 272 Jizhou Shuanglu
In the early days of the Central Plains, I was competing for the throne, and I was writing for Rongxuan. ----------Tang Wei Zheng's "Recounting Huai (Coming Out of Seclusion)"
It is said that Jackie Chan aimed at the flagpole in the distance and fired the first arrow at an extremely fast speed. It can be said that it is an easy task. 300 steps distance. Met almost no drop. It hit the flagpole.
Taishi Ci, only then did he know that Jackie Chan was also a master. It is better to be ambitious. The flagpole in the distance is thinner at the top and thicker at the bottom. The top of the flagpole is a thin horizontal beam. At such a distance, people with poor eyesight cannot even see. Taishi Ci holds the bow on his left hand. He pointed at the ruins of the flagpole with his mobile phone and said loudly: "Everyone, take a look. All I see is the crossbar on the top of the flagpole."
The people behind Chen Long and Tai Shici listened. They all set up tents to watch. It took him a long time to make a sound of exclamation. The crossbar is as small as the halberd branch used by Lu Bu when he shot his halberd at the gate.
Taishi Ci also used extremely fast techniques to guide the bow and load the arrow. The arrow flew out like a meteor, the arrow was raised high, crossed a wonderful parabola, and fell far away to the top of the flagpole. Taishi Ci's eyes were almost splitting as he stared at the tail end of the arrow and murmured to himself: "Ruyizi, don't let me down!"
The arrow flew like a meteor, and with a bang, it was nailed to the crossbar at the top of the flagpole. The crowd behind them roared with a roar, Taishi Ci raised his divine bow high, full of ambition, Chen Long laughed and said: "I am not as good as Ziyi's divine arrow! Brothers, when you are tired of sparring, come and drink with me tonight!" My treat!" The crowd behind them cheered again, which seemed to be louder than the previous cheers.
Chen Long and Tai Shici led the crowd back to Huang County. The small school field on the outskirts of the city returned to its former peace, with only two feather arrows nailed to the flagpole remaining. In a blur, a few human heads suddenly appeared in the jungle on the edge of the small school ground, followed by horses. One of the men in plainclothes turned around and asked the people behind him: "How far is it from Huang County?"
"It's only thirty miles from here to Huang County." A thin man replied. He took out a map in his arms and looked at it carefully. He pointed at the map and continued: "This small school ground has a road leading to the city gate. If It only takes half an hour for the cavalry to arrive at the county seat of Huang County."
The big man nodded slowly, scanned the surrounding environment again, and then led his men back and disappeared into the woods. The entire forest returned to calm, as if no one had ever been there.
The next morning, with the morning fog still lingering, the sound of branches snapping could be heard in the woods. Birds flew up in fright. There seemed to be many people walking in the woods. Gradually, a few heads emerged from the woods. After glancing at no one around, they quickly alerted the surroundings of the school grounds. More and more soldiers came out of the woods. This time, they were all in neat military uniforms, and then more and more soldiers came out of the woods. Many horses gathered in the small school field, with thousands of people in total. After lining up neatly, it can be seen that the archers, spearmen, and cavalry are all in complete order, just like an integrated unit.
At the end of the group, two tall horses emerged from the woods. There were two generals sitting on it, followed by a group of guards, all wearing bright helmets. They were majestic and dignified in appearance. The two generals looked quite similar. One was holding a steel gun, and the other was holding a shining steel knife.
Two horses passed by the soldiers who were lined up, and just walked under the flagpole. One of them raised his head and glanced at the flagpole, and suddenly said in surprise: "Brother, look? Who shot this?"
The general who was called the elder brother also raised his head to watch, with a look of surprise on his face: "I didn't expect that there are such masters of archery in this small Huang County. Brother, we can't take it lightly."
The general who was called his younger brother thought for a while and said: "I remember that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I heard that a man named Taishi Ci appeared from Huang County. This man had been to Jizhou and was very good at shooting. Could it be that this Taishi Ci Is Ci still in Huang County?"
The elder brother nodded slightly and said: "In short, you and I have to be careful when we attack Huang County this time. If we catch Tai Shici, we will immediately escort him back to Jizhou and hand him over to the lord." The younger brother nodded in agreement.
This pair of brother generals are Yuan Shao's generals. The elder brother's name is Lu Kuang, and the younger brother's name is Lu Xiang. They are collectively known as the Shuanglu of Jizhou. Both of them are famous for their bravery. According to official history, they first surrendered to Yuan Shao, then to Yuan Shang, then to Yuan Tan, and finally surrendered to Cao Cao. The two of them accompanied Yan Liang on this expedition and were appointed as the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the left-wing army. After crossing the Yellow River, Yan Liang heard that the troops in Huang County were weak and that the guard Zong Bao was unknown. He decided to divide his forces and sent two brothers, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, with five thousand troops to attack Huang County in an attempt to capture this important seaside town. , came under his command in one fell swoop, and first blocked Kong Rong's escape from the sea to Liaodong.
Until the troops of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang arrived at the small school field thirty miles away from Huang County, the defenders in Huang County still knew nothing about the surprise attack. When Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang reached the flagpole, they suddenly found two feathered arrows and realized that the former archery hero Tai Shi Ci was still there. What the two brothers didn't know was that one of the feathered arrows was the masterpiece of Chen Long, the Marquis of Nanxiang, the Shepherd of Liangzhou and the great hero of the time.
At this time, Chen Long and Tai Shici were still asleep due to the drinking party last night. No one knew that Yuan Shaojun's war had quietly reached the doorstep of his house. Last night, Chen Long and Taishi Ci rested in Chen Long's inn after drinking.
Lu Kuang once again sent out reconnaissance troops in plain clothes to sneak to the gate of Huang County to observe the defense situation. In the morning in Huang County, the defense was really sparse. The city gate had just been opened. A few soldiers guarding the city gate lazily opened the city gate, lowered the suspension bridge, and let the soldiers in charge of cleaning clear the road at the city gate. Farmers who deliver food to the city, and slaves who go out to take out dirt and garbage come and go. The atmosphere is completely the same as before, it is just a normal and peaceful day.
Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang received the reconnaissance information, waved their flags, and the army divided into two groups and headed straight for the county seat of Huang County. The thirty-mile journey passed in an instant. The cavalry was in front and began to accelerate with all its strength. The soldiers at the head of Huang County City suddenly heard the loud sound of horse hooves on the horizon, and they all looked at the smoke and dust in the distance in astonishment, feeling at a loss what to do. By the time the soldiers on the city reacted, Yuan Shao's cavalry had already rushed forward. The defenders were too late to pull the suspension bridge to close the city gate. The cavalry of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang had already entered the city gate with their iron hooves, stepping on the suspension bridge. By the time the soldiers on the city gate tried to pull up the suspension bridge urgently, the rope had long been cut off by Yuan Shaojun, and at least several hundred cavalrymen had already entered the west gate. There were only a few hundred soldiers at the west gate, fighting with hundreds of cavalry from the capital, desperately trying to close the gate again. The two parties started a fierce fight at the city gate. There were soldiers both inside and outside the city, and blood and flesh were everywhere for a while.
The cavalry who reported the news had already hurried to Zongbao Mansion. Zong Bao was cozying up to his concubine when he suddenly heard the news like a thunderbolt from the blue. He shouted to summon all the county officials, put on his helmet and armor, and ordered his men to gather soldiers at other gates and all go to the west gate. Get all.
For a time, soldiers and horses were mobilized, and with the continuous shouting of killing at the west city gate, the entire Huangxian County was boiling. The sound of horse hooves rumbled non-stop through the streets, and the sound of horns was heard everywhere. Chen Long woke up from his sleep and held down the frightened Zhen Mi next to him. Just as Lu Chang ran from outside to the door to report: "My lord, something serious has happened. I don't know whose troops have invaded the west gate."
Chen Long stood up, put on his shirt and pants as quickly as possible, went out and ordered: "Go and call Master Li and the others to protect the mistress and not leave this inn." Lu Chang left in a hurry.
Jackie Chan slapped open the door next door, and shouted: "Ziyi! You can't afford it! Huang County is going to be turned upside down!" Taishi Ci was half-wearing his pants when Chen Long suddenly and violently pushed him out of the room. He was so frightened that he quickly opened the door and almost fell to the ground. When he saw clearly that it was Chen Long, he rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Long, what is going on outside?"
At this time, Master Li had led the troops protecting the mistress to the door of Chen Long's room. Chen Long ordered thirty special forces members and asked Taishi Ci: "Ziyi! The matter is urgent. Take me immediately to replenish weapons and horses." "Taishici understood and immediately led more than thirty people to Huang County's weapons depot.
At this time, Zong Bao had already led hundreds of people to the west city gate. The city gate had been trampled to pieces by Yuan Shao's cavalry who entered. More and more Jizhou cavalry entered the city gate, and the following spearmen and archers also appeared on the horizon. . As long as the army pours in, this small Huang County will naturally be at hand.
Zong Bao wielded a long sword and fought with the troops who entered first. He was almost exhausted. Without the protective advantage of the city wall, Zong Bao's soldiers appeared vulnerable, revealing their lack of training on weekdays and being far inferior to Yuan Shao's elite soldiers. Since there was insufficient training, they had no choice but to trade their lives on the battlefield. The soldiers around Zong Bao gradually died. In a blink of an eye, Zong Bao was also shot with an arrow, and severe pain came from his shoulder.
Zong Bao looked around in despair, thinking that he was going to die here. Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind: "Don't hurt my lord!" Zong Bao looked back and saw that it was Tai Shi Ci leading more than 30 riders from behind. Zong Bao was overjoyed and was about to return to his horse and run away when he suddenly felt a pain in his waist. He lowered his head and saw that his body had been chopped into two pieces by a machete. The last thing he saw was his lower body.
Taishi Ci came to fight Zong Bao with a pair of iron halberds. Suddenly he saw Zong Bao being swung into two pieces from behind by a general. When blood spattered everywhere, he calmed down and rushed out to fight with the general who killed Zong Bao. Fighting in one place.
After Taishi Ci, naturally Chen Long was included. Chen Long observed the situation and saw that the cavalry continued to pour into the city gate. The balance of power was becoming increasingly unfavorable. He had to pull up the suspension bridge to prevent the army from entering easily. Then he repositioned archers at the top of the city to destroy the cavalry entering the city. .
Chen Long jumped off his horse, paused his feet, and easily flew up to the top of the city to look down. He saw that under the iron hooves of the cavalry, the ropes of the suspension bridge were broken on one side. Chen Long already had a steel gun in his hand, gritted his teeth, and flew towards the cavalry that kept coming on the suspension bridge.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
