Chapter 63: One Arrow Shocks the Enemy
There is too much work at the end of the year, and the update is delayed, and the busy time will always pass, and it will not be a eunuch......
Early the next morning, Shana began to gather her soldiers early, Shamoke was obviously not at ease to let Shana go by herself, leaving only a few men and horses to guard Dazhai, and set off for Hanshou with 20,000 barbarian soldiers.
Last night I told Shana that I would use a stratagem to fight the Wu army, but I didn't tell her what my plan was, only that she would see her then. She pretended not to care, but I knew she was curious. No, before she had reached half an hour, she asked me: "Zhuge Song, didn't you say that you had a plan to defeat the Wu army?" It's almost Hanshou, why don't you say a word? Could it be that he is pretending to have a plan in front of me, but in fact, his stomach is empty, right? β
I smiled and said to her, "Princess, don't worry, isn't this Hanshou yet?" I promise that Hanshou will be long, and in less than a stick of incense, Wu Jun will flee in the wilderness. β
Shana pursed her lips: "You just talk big!" After that, he ignored me and urged the horse to go to the front army to investigate the enemy's situation.
Along the way, my 500 people were very safe in the middle of the barbarian army, and Shana left, and along the way, there was a conversation with Shamoko. Shamoko told me that she was only interested in letting me marry his sister, but I didn't dare to refuse, and I couldn't agree, but I only said that Shana hated me so much now, and even if I wanted to, she wouldn't agree. Seeing that I agreed, Shamoke promised that when the Wu army was repulsed, he would definitely facilitate my marriage with Shana. As the so-called snake beating with a stick, I was politely refused, but when I got to Shamoke, he took it seriously, I couldn't smile bitterly, so I had to be silent, so as not to say too many mistakes and get myself into any trouble.
When the former army reported that they had seen Hanshou County, Wu Jun saw that my army had retreated into the camp and did not dare to come out, Shamo Ke laughed and said: "I didn't expect Wu Jun to be so timid, he would only bully more with less, and when he saw my soldier arrive, he was scared into a turtle with a shrunken head." After saying that, he ordered to speed up the advance, and chop the Wu army that was shrinking in the village into meat sauce as soon as possible.
I hurriedly stopped him and said to him, "Slow down, the king doesn't know, last night I promised Shana to kill the Wu army with only my 500 troops, can you ask the king to stay here and cheer for me, and see how I can kill the enemy?" β
"Just five hundred?" Shamoko looked at me from head to toe as if he were meeting me for the first time, and couldn't help laughing: "Just you? Want to take 500 people to break the 3,000 Wu army? β
I thought to myself, "Why are these two brothers and sisters like this?" Look down on people. However, I didn't dare to mention to Shamoko about cleaning up his mess under Hanshou City like Shana, and now my five hundred soldiers are excellent, but in his Chinese army they are no different from a small boat in the sea, surrounded by his cronies and generals, if I make a fool of him in front of so many people, he will kill me in a fit of anger and drink, but I have nowhere to shout injustice! β
Thinking of this, I took a detour to Shamoke in another way: "King, since ancient times, beauties love heroes, your sister is so good, how can ordinary methods make her fall in love?" If I can kill 3,000 Wu troops with only 500 men, I can show that I am extraordinary, so that Shana will like me. There is a king behind me to press the formation, even if there is a case at that time, it is just that I am a little ugly, how about the king himself when the time comes? β
Shamoko laughed again when he heard me use this reason, and gladly agreed, restrained the troops from advancing, and only released guard posts in four directions as I suggested, so as not to have hidden Wu troops nearby.
I continued to advance with 500 personal soldiers through the barbarian Chinese army, and soon saw the city of Hanshou and the Wu army camp that had occupied a favorable position. Shana's front army also had 3,000 men, and when she saw me, she couldn't wait to say, "Why are you here?" If I don't show up again, I'm going to go directly into the camp of the Wu army and cut off Pan Zhang's head! β
I smiled and comforted her, "Don't be busy, princess, just watch me." After speaking, he approached Wuzhai with five hundred personal soldiers. Leave Shana behind to cheer me on.
When Wu Jun saw that I was approaching with people, he closed the camp tightly, and opened his bow and arrows one by one, and when I got closer, he would fire arrows in unison. At the beginning, Lu Bu shot a halberd at Yuanmen to save Liu Bei, with a range of one hundred and fifty steps, and still shot the halberd with one arrow. Pan Zhang definitely didn't have this ability, but if the Wu army's soldiers fired arrows without considering the accuracy, I estimated that 150 steps would be the limit, so I ordered the soldiers to stop about 200 steps away from Wu Zhai.
To be honest, I don't know which one is Pan Zhang, but thinking that the forty-year-old Wu general standing at the gate of the village and commanding must be him, he dismounted, took off the longbow I had prepared from his back, took only one arrow from the quiver, and walked towards Wu Zhai alone.
Behind him, there was a sound of brushing: "General be careful!" I gestured backwards for none of them to move, and took another thirty steps forward.
When Wu Jun saw me coming alone, they were all shocked. Only then did I stand still and shouted at Wu Zhaili: "Which one is General Pan Zhangpan?" Sure enough, the Wu general I identified before was Pan Zhang, and he replied loudly: "I am!" You are Wuling Taishou Zhuge Song! β
I didn't expect him to know me, but it's relieved to think about it. When I went to Jiangdong with Kong Ming to join Wu Pocao, I lived in Wu for a while, although there were many generals in the Wu army, and I was around Kong Ming, so it was difficult to know a few, but I was a new face in Jiangdong, and it was too simple for the generals of the Wu army to know who I was.
Thinking of this, I said to him seriously: "Wrong! Under is General Pingxi, leading Wuling to guard Zhuge Song! What is your official position? β
Pan Zhang was clearly irritated by my attitude. His current military position in Wuzhong is definitely not as high as mine, let alone him, although LΓΌ Meng has been faintly the second person in the Wu army after Lu Su after Zhou Yu's death, but Sun Quan also named LΓΌ Meng's position is completely incomparable to my General Pingxi.
I only heard him say angrily: "You are a yellow-mouthed child, you only got a high position by luck by relying on the calculation of Liu Zhang by betraying the alliance, and you dare to be so rampant!" β
I deliberately got angry with him and said to him: "General Pingxi naturally has the truth of General Pingxi, and a little person like you will not be able to reach my position even if he dies." If you don't accept it, you will come out and fight me! I pointed to the five hundred soldiers behind me with my finger, and said to Pan Zhang very arrogantly: "Just the five hundred elites behind me, don't need the help of the barbarian soldiers, let your three thousand people go out, if you can't beat you, I will retreat thirty miles when I see you in the future!" β
Pan Zhang's face turned red with anger from me, and he drew his sword and was about to order the gate to be opened. At this time, the two lieutenants beside him stopped him and whispered something to him. Pan Zhang broke free from them, pointed his sword at me and shouted at me, "Who in the whole world doesn't know that you are the least trustworthy now?" You have 20,000 brutes behind, but you tricked me into going out to fight you, I'm not that stupid! If you have the ability, you will beat me! I'm only 3,000 people, and you won't be able to get in if you fight for a month! β
I saw that Pan Zhang was so angry with me that I couldn't do it, and my heart was secretly refreshed. In fact, I don't really have so much confidence in my five hundred personal soldiers, the reason why I say this is that I want to finally probe the bottom of Pan Zhang, if Pan Zhang is angry for a while, it probably means that he is really a three-gunner, and his three thousand people here dare to fight Hanshou on my territory unhurriedly. But if he refuses to come out, and he doesn't have the slightest intention of withdrawing his troops and running away, then it will be more certain of my previous speculation about Lu Meng, and my next action will be logical.
When I was in Nanjun before, I used to train with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun picked up Kong Ming and me under the Seven Star Altar, and the method of another arrow to break the sails of the Wu army made me admire. For this reason, I asked him for advice on how to practice this shocking stunt.
Zhao Yun told me that the reason why he has today's ability is also because he studied hard when he was in Hebei. If you want to have a superb archery, super arm strength, a good attitude is very important, archery is the most important focus on concentration and self-confidence, if the arrow is still shot out of worry about not shooting, then this arrow is nine times out of ten will not be shot, such as he shot the sail of the Wu army, if you have been thinking when you shoot if an arrow misses, you will be laughed at by the Wu army, and the reputation accumulated before will be lost, then it will definitely not be able to shoot the sail.
He looked at my arm and told me very honestly that my conditions were very average, and that if I wanted to become an archer, I would have to work harder. Not only arm strength needs to be trained, but concentration and self-confidence also need to be improved by long-term archery practice. Concentration is a feeling, self-confidence is accumulated by shooting more and more accurately, if you usually hit every shot, then to the actual combat, there will be confidence, in the actual combat, this confidence will be stronger and stronger, naturally more and more accurate.
I understand that this is a matter of hard work and a virtuous circle, and I have practiced hard for a while. Unfortunately, my foundation is too poor, and although I learned posture and the like very quickly at first, the accuracy and distance are like a quarrelsome couple, and I can't coordinate them anyway. Later, Liu Bei raised troops into Sichuan, and the matter of practicing archery was stopped.
I wrapped a piece of white paper that I had already written full of words around the body of the arrow, and took out a small piece of rope to tie the white paper before putting the arrow on the bow, relying on the basic skills I had practiced before, and shouted to Pan Zhang as I walked forward: "Before, Lu Feng shot a halberd one hundred and fifty steps away, and now I also shoot an arrow!" β
After walking another twenty steps, and coming to a position about one hundred and fifty steps away from Wu Zhai, I stood still, opened my bow and aimed at the thigh-thick wooden pillar on the left side of Wu Junzhai's door, concentrated my concentration to the limit, and felt that it was almost enough, so I let go of my hand.
I saw my arrow, flying towards the Wu army's walled gate, but the arrow flew halfway, I secretly said badly, the arrow was obviously a lot crooked, and the arrow that wanted to shoot the wooden pillar on the left side of the walled gate was obviously deviated to the right. I thought to myself that this is ugly, Lu Fengxian shot a halberd with an arrow in one hundred and fifty steps, and I was so good that I didn't even hit a thigh-thick wooden pillar with an arrow!
Unexpectedly, this arrow was more and more biased, and it was directly biased towards a deputy general next to Pan Zhang, who probably saw me wrapping paper on the arrow before, and thought that I was going to shoot the wooden pillar, so he was caught off guard, so he could only subconsciously bow his head, and the arrow actually hit the hat and helmet at once.
I was dumbfounded, and I secretly screamed ashamed. There was an earth-shattering cheer behind him, and even the brute soldiers in the distance were thunderous with joy. I took advantage of the situation and shouted at Pan Zhang: "The first time we met, I only shot the deputy general, gave you face, read what I wrote in the letter, don't make mistakes!" With that, he turned around and walked back, ignoring Pan Zhang, who looked horrified.
