Chapter 4 Fourteen, the reunion of the deceased
Tai Shi Ci was a little caught off guard by Sun Ce's sudden attack.
Earlier, he had also gone to the city to check, and in the enemy camp outside the city, the soldiers were all lazy, and there was no excitement about the battle. But only an hour has passed, and they seem to have changed their faces, and they are all energetic and high-spirited.
Hu Lin knew that this battle was only afraid that he would be defeated. But he still made a final suggestion to Tai Shi Ci - to delay time and wait for reinforcements from other counties and Shanyue.
Tai Shici also knew that this was the only way at the moment, and in addition to this, he had to abandon the city and flee.
After secretly sending people out from the city gate with his back to the enemy camp, Tai Shici led his army to the head of the city.
The low walls of the county town were not enough to resist for a long time.
The first is the difficulty of landing the city, the city wall is only a few people high, it is simply the world of archers, and the arrows shot by Sun Cejun completely crushed the men and horses on his side and did not dare to raise their heads. And although his side is condescending, he has no choice but to lack weapons, and if he uses it like the enemy, it will be exhausted in half an hour.
Just when Tai Shici was a little troubled, Hu Lin lowered his body and whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, Tai Shici couldn't believe it, but when he saw Hu Lin's resolute eyes, he had to make up his mind.
"Sun Ce! General Tai Shi Ci has something to say. Hu Lin shouted loudly with all his might.
Sun Cejun's archers gradually stopped firing, and the troops who ascended the city also withdrew.
"Tai Shici, what do you have to say!" Sun Ce led his horse out of battle and shouted at the city.
"Sun Bofu! I admit that if we fight like this, our army will definitely be defeated. β
"Then why don't you surrender yet!"
"If you still have the arrogance of the Sun family, you will fight alone with me! If you can overcome me, I will bring you down! β
"Heh, hahahaha, you think I'll say yes?"
"Humph! If you are afraid, continue to let your subordinates die like this, and I will fight to the last man!" β
"Good! Say this, and I'll meet you! With that, Sun Ce took the spear handed by the sergeant and drove his horse to the city.
"It was at this time that the general quickly shot Sun Ce to death!" Hu Lin pointed to Sun Ce under the city and said to Tai Shici.
"Whoosh!" An arrow came down from the city and stuck right in front of Sun Ce's horse.
Sun Ce glanced down, and suddenly laughed again, "Taishi Ziyi, just this arrow at you, I have more admiration for you!" β
Hu Lin glared at Tai Shi Ci with a little anger, because he knew Tai Shi Ci's archery skills very well, and he would never shoot at such a close distance.
Sun Ce could naturally see it, because the landing point of the arrow just now was almost next to the place where his horse's hooves stepped on the ground. How could a person with such accurate archery skills fail to shoot, it is conceivable that he deliberately let it go.
Just when Sun Ce was secretly admiring in his heart, the city gate slowly opened, and Tai Shici and Hu Lin walked out with their horses.
"You two want to fight me together?" Sun Ce raised his gun and pointed it at the two of them and asked.
"Humph! Am I too Shi Ci to bully the few with the many? I can defeat you alone! After speaking, Tai Shici shouted loudly and rushed over with his horse.
Although Hu Lin had expected that the martial arts of the two sides were comparable, he didn't expect that the two of them would have the same tactics.
Tai Shi Ci also used a spear, and at this time he and Sun Ce were already entangled together. Their moves are all fierce and domineering, and unlike ordinary generals with fancy moves, this style of play is completely about putting power first.
Neither of them dodged once, but simply used their weapons to block the opponent while looking for an opportunity to launch their next attack.
After about fifty fights, Tai Shici once again reflexively shot and stabbed Sun Ce with his back to him.
When Sun Ce heard the rapid wind of gunfire behind him, he immediately took off his stirrups and jumped into the stirrups.
It's just that the direction he jumped in was not far away from Tai Shici's weapon, but turned around in the air to meet it.
Tai Shi Ci secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good and wanted to withdraw the gun, but it was too late.
Sun Ce's left hand had already grasped the barrel of the gun, and at the same time, he pushed and grabbed it under his armpit. At the same time, his right hand stabbed the spear into Tai Shici's left shoulder.
To Sun Ce's surprise, Tai Shi Ci was able to maintain his sanity in the face of such a close blow. He did the same, took off his stirrups and jumped up, and clamped Sun Ce's spear under his armpit.
From Tai Shici's first shot to the two of them carrying each other's weapons to the ground, it was only a moment's work, and some people didn't have time to react to what was going on.
But Hu Lin and Zhou Yu saw everything clearly. They all sweated for their coach just now, because if there was only a slight deviation, then there would only be two corpses left in the field.
At this time, the two of them were secretly surprised in their hearts, and it was just the same thing: "This guy on the other side is so powerful!" β
Of course, the two who were fighting hard did not know what their subordinates were thinking, and for now, they only focused on each other.
"Click!"
"Click!"
The two guns were broken together, and Sun Ce and Tai Shici seemed to have a tacit understanding, so they directly threw away the broken guns and scuffled with each other with their bare hands.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.
"Stinky boy, why are you laughing?" Cheng Pu slowly led the horse to Zhou Yu's side, but didn't look at him, just stared at the two people in the field and asked.
"Cheng Gong, didn't you notice that Bo Fu was in a very good mood at this time?" Zhou Yu asked lazily.
"Humph! Like a child fighting, what is there to rejoice in him! "Cheng Pu's bad temper has begun.
"Bo Fu is happy to meet an opponent of equal strength. If I'm right, he's got a liking for him. β
Zhou Yu's judgment was not wrong, because Sun Ce at this time, like Tai Shici opposite, had an excited smile on his face......
ββββββββββββββ
Xuzhou, a suburb of Xiaopei.
This is the village that Cao Cao plundered when he attacked Xuzhou, and now it is deserted, and the courtyards are overgrown with weeds and a depressed scene.
Guo Lan stood in front of an abandoned house, and on the steps under the eaves, a man with a hearty smile sit.
"When did you come back, Yu Qing." Guo Lan looked at the plaque under the eaves, which was already a little tilted, and asked.
"Two months ago, I had already returned to the main hall, and when I learned that you were in Xuzhou, I suggested to the five sages to come and help you."
The person who spoke was Xi Yan's other apprentice, Long Wei. It has been several years since he left the main hall, and the innocent face at the beginning has become cynical.
"Speaking of which, I do have something to ask for your help with. The little mandarin duck has been taken into custody because of the poisoning......"
"You want me to save her?"
"No, you just need to get her out of suspicion."
"Let Diao Chan know that there is another person who uses poison, and Xiao Yuanyu was misunderstood by her."
"That's it?"
"That's enough."
"Alas! Yunxiao, when can you change this temper that doesn't like to laugh. β
Guo Lan was not in the mood to joke with him, so she pretended not to hear.
Seeing that he ignored him, Long Yi had no choice but to look up at the sky in a daze.
"Well, I've made a note of what you said. If there is nothing else, can you make it convenient for Long to sleep for a while? Long Yu stopped looking at Guo Lan angrily, and lay on the steps by himself and pretended to snore.
"In the future, if you want to see me, go to the wine shop in the city to find me."
Guo Lan was only thinking about Ling Yuan in his heart, and he didn't notice it at all, and Long Yu's body gradually began to tremble.
β¦β¦
The footsteps gradually faded away, and Long Wei slowly turned around.
At this time, he was sweating profusely, his arms around him, and he sat on the steps in pain, his body shaking.
With a trembling hand, he slowly pulled out a small paper bag from his waist, carefully opened it, and swallowed all the powder inside. Then, he untied the water bag hanging from his waist and took a few big sips before he was relieved a little.
It was something he didn't want anyone to seeβphantom pain.
Back then, he was poisoned by his master, and although he was cured by Jiuxian, he left sequelae, that is, from time to time, he would imagine that he was still suffering from burning poison, and then he really felt that he was in severe pain like fire.
At first, this feeling occurred about once every two months, but after a few years, Long Yi gradually noticed that the interval between the attacks of severe pain was getting shorter and shorter. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he came back to Jiuxian Lao for help.
And there was no cure for this strange disease that caused physical and mental suffering, so as a last resort, Jiuxian Lao gave him some medicine that could temporarily resist the pain.
After taking this medicine, he would feel light, pain-free, and very comfortable, but Jiuxian Elder repeatedly told him not to take more.
But every time the pain hits, the burning sensation that makes life worse than death will destroy the dragon and lose his mind.
So he used the excuse that it was inconvenient to come to Xuzhou, so he brought a lot of this medicine at one time.
In fact, another reason why Long Wei returned to the main hall was that Ling Yuan told him through the unique channel of the poison envoy that Xi Yan had officially become Li Wei's wife.
After years of hard searching, in the end, the result was changed, and Long Yi's heart suddenly arrived very empty and tired.
He just wanted to go back to where he had lived and take a break.
But as soon as he returned to the Northern Headquarters, he heard about Mo Yue and Meng Qing.
Due to the news being locked down in Jingzhou, the news of Weiyun's death has not yet been known. But even so, the death of the two night marshals can be called a heavy blow to the Northern General Hall.
In this case, he had no choice but to accept the order of the five sages and set off to Xuzhou.
With the help of the Night Blade members scattered throughout the village, Long Yi finally contacted Guo Lan. So, according to the current situation, the two drew up a new plan to deal with Lu Bu and help Ling Yuan.
It's just that Guo Lan didn't know Long Wei's embarrassment at this time - the medicine used to suppress pain was about to run out.
If you lose the help of medicine, once the pain attacks, then Long Yi will be like a baby, with no ability to fight back, and can only be slaughtered.
The person who uses poison is trapped by the pain of poison, and it is a pain that no longer exists, whenever Long Yi thinks of this, he can only smile and sigh bitterly......
