"Zu Jing is dead, quickly open the city and surrender!"
Throughout the day, such shouts could be heard all around Guangxin City.
Although the knights were shouting from a stone's throw away, and the sound was blurry when it was transmitted, the soldiers guarding the city had listened more and could fully understand what they said.
There were 20,000 enemy troops outside the city, but the city lord didn't even dare to open the door. Even the stupidest soldier knew that what the other party said might be true.
Captain Cangwu, who trained the soldiers, was really dead.
So what about the eight thousand elite soldiers who went with him?
Panic has spread among the soldiers.
In the morning, the news of Qu Jing's death was still shouted. In the afternoon, Cao Jun added the shouts of "Army Sima King Hu is dead".
Wang Hu was second only to Ou Jing in Cangwu's army. When they heard that he was also dead, many soldiers couldn't wait any longer and stood at the top of the city with suspicion.
Originally, this situation might have been alleviated if Wu Ju came out to say a few words to comfort the soldiers. After all, this was only the second day after the enemy troops came to the city.
But Wu Ju himself was like an ant on a hot pot, walking around the city, how could he think of comforting others.
Jian Yong looked at the fat man who couldn't hold his breath, sighed and said: "General, the truth of the matter is still unknown. Maybe the district captain has captured Fengyang at this moment, but the messenger was intercepted by the other party and could not deliver the message? The bandit army might just be a powerful force on the outside, trying to persuade us to surrender before we run out of food!"
Wu Ju's eyes were about to light up, then dimmed and he said, "Cao's army has not yet laid siege to the city, how is it possible that not even a single messenger can come?"
"this……"
Jian Yong was still wondering why Cao's army didn't besiege the city yesterday, but today he suddenly thought of the reason. The main force of Cao's army was really cunning and made such a gesture deliberately.
Now it seems that Cao Jun probably really expected that his retreat would be blocked, so he made such a virtual and real arrangement.
Jian Yong looked up to the sky and sighed, finally getting in touch with Wu Ju, Liu Bei's old friend, but he didn't expect that Wu Ju himself was about to collapse and could not save Liu Bei.
The two of them looked at the cavalry running under the city, silently, and were thinking of countermeasures. Suddenly, a man climbed onto the tower and said loudly: "Yes or no, just go and see. You don't have to worry so much. I'm willing to go down to the city." Go north and go to Fengyang to see the situation!"
The two turned around and saw this man with white armor and silver spear. He was very handsome. Jian Yong was overjoyed and said: "Zilong, it's the right time for you to go!"
It turned out that this was Zhao Yun who escorted Mi Zhen and Adou into Guangxin City.
Pang Tong was killed and Yi Ji disappeared. Zhao Yun and Mi Fang could only bring their women and children into the city. As the commander of Liu Bei's bodyguard, Zhao Yun had the duty to protect the young master. In this strange city, he did not dare to leave his post without permission, but just now he Hearing the soldiers who were changing shifts going down to the city say that there were soldiers shouting outside the city, they knew something was going on, so they went upstairs to take a look.
Wu Ju knew that Zhao Yun was capable, but Zhao Yun always kept a low profile. He didn't know how strong Zhao Yun was, so he hesitated and said: "The general is going to the city at this time, fearing that there will be more misfortune than good."
When Zhao Yun heard this, he did not feel dissatisfied. He was about to entrust his wife and young master to Jian Yong when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside the city.
"Zujing's head has arrived, let's connect!"
All the defenders on the city wall looked out and saw a white-bearded general in plain armor pointing his bow and arrow at them.
Even though they were far away from an arrow, they could still see that the bow and arrow in the old general's hand were not ordinary, and were much larger than ordinary bows and arrows.
"I'm afraid it's not...a two-stone bow?"
After all, Wu Ju was a military general and he knew what he was doing, so he shouted in surprise.
Zhao Yun also frowned and stared.
"Connect your ears!"
The veteran shouted again, loosened the tight bow string in his hand, and an arrow came straight towards the city.
When the arrow came out, everyone saw two bloody ears tied to the arrow.
According to the distance of an arrow, it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to shoot arrows over, but the old general's arrows are far superior to others. He went straight up the city wall with two ears and rushed towards Wu Ju.
Wu Ju was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged and fell to the ground. Jian Yong did not have such good eyesight. He only thought of hiding when the arrow was approaching, but it was already too late.
The arrow grazed Wu Ju's arm and went straight to Jian Yong's chest.
At the last moment, Zhao Yun raised his foot and accurately kicked out the extremely fast arrow.
Jian Yong's heart was beating so hard that he sat down on the ground, his face as white as paper, and he was stroking his chest and was speechless for a long time.
After the arrow hit the ground, it rolled a few more times, and the ears were also stained with dust.
The soldiers were so frightened that they stayed away, as if the arrow was a savage beast and did not dare to approach.
Only Zhao Yun was not afraid. He frowned and was about to pick it up, but he heard the voice of a veteran outside the city sounding like Hong Zhongdalu again.
"Nose-picking!"
Hearing this shout, Zhao Yun, who had always had a good temper, was also angry. The old general outside the city also went too far. He said that it was a skull joint, but he actually sent the organs from the head over one by one?
Before he could react, there was another "swish" sound, and another arrow shot up the tower with a man in the nose.
Fortunately, this time Wu Ju and Jian Yong both fell to the ground and did not get up. No one was hit. The arrow fell on the city wall and stopped.
Zhao Yun quickly grabbed the female wall and looked outside. The old general actually put an arrow on his bow again.
This is a two-stone strong bow that ordinary people cannot draw at one time. The old general actually pulled it twice in a short period of time and wanted to pull it a third time.
Zhao Yun understood the difficulty better than others. He couldn't help shouting: "Who in the city has such ability, how can he become a thief?"
The veteran general on the opposite side laughed and said: "General Beifu was ordered by the emperor to escort Jiaozhou Mu to take office in Jiaozhou. Why don't you open the city to welcome him?"
When Wu Ju heard the words "Jiaozhou Mu", he was very angry and wanted to talk to the veteran general. Jian Yong also mustered up the courage to go to the wall, but saw Zhao Yun take a few steps and grab a bow from a soldier at the top of the city. Come.
This bow was not a strong bow, it was just an ordinary soldier's bow. Zhao Yun did not dislike it. He took a long arrow from the quiver on the soldier's back and put it on the bow.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yun bent his bow to the sky, fully drew the bowstring in an instant, and pointed the arrow straight at the old general.
The old general laughed loudly: "Does your bow, which has no stone in it, also want to shoot over my head, Huang Zhong?"
The so-called "one arrow" refers to the distance that the bows and arrows most commonly used by soldiers can shoot. The cavalry who had been shouting for a day and being shot by the city guards had long figured out this distance.
What answered him was Zhao Yun's released right hand.
The feathered arrow shot out in response, shot down from the towering city wall, and headed straight for the gate facing Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong laughed at first, but later he couldn't stop laughing because the arrow still had momentum after traveling half the distance.
Huang Zhong is a master of archery, and it is easy to see that this arrow can really hit him.
Huang Zhong couldn't help but laugh. Seeing the arrow approaching the door, he had no choice but to lower his body and dodge.
The arrow grazed his lying back and went a long way before stopping.
The defenders at the top of the city had never seen anyone shoot ordinary bows and arrows to such a long distance, and they suddenly became excited.
Jian Yong happened to come to the female wall. He knew how to confuse people's hearts and quickly shouted: "General Zhao is good at archery!"
Wu Ju understood and shouted: "General Zhao is good at archery!"
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers also shouted, and their morale, which was low at first sight, was about to be cheered up again by Zhao Yun's arrow.
At this moment, Huang Zhong's angry voice came again.
"Wuna boy, connect!"
Everyone looked at the sound and saw Huang Zhong getting up from his horse and throwing away the bow in his hand.
They were all wondering, what was the old general doing because he was old and fatuous? He was shouting for help but lost his bow.
Only Zhao Yun felt faintly uneasy, which was the aura of a top military commander he felt from the other party.
