Chapter 182: Blessing, great life, great creation
Wang Sheng was surprised, by the light of the sky, suddenly saw a large group of people and horses rushing to the west, for a while I couldn't figure out which side of the team, so I had to make an appointment to garrison here, waiting for orders from above,
After a while, this team disappeared into the shadows west of the camp, Wang Sheng couldn't be sure whether this team was his own horse, so he sent a few scouts over to follow and inspect,
The scouts followed for more than two miles, and heard the order from the front team: "Follow, follow, retreat to Pingdingshan." ”
Listening to the accent that he was not from Jingzhou, a few scouts were taken aback, and hurriedly fled back to report Wang Sheng,
When Wang Sheng heard this, he hurriedly led the team to catch up,
It turned out that the subordinates of Xu Sheng, the Wu soldier in front, had about five or six thousand men and horses.
When the two men and horses were fighting at the front and back doors of the camp, Xu Sheng, as the general reserve of Wu soldiers, never dared to move, and according to Zhou Yu's prior instructions, he was stationed in a tent behind the bushes in the northeast corner of the camp.
A few days ago, when the two armies were fighting, Xu Sheng was stabbed off his horse by Yuan Ying on the horse, but fortunately, Zhou Tai and more than a dozen Wu soldiers desperately rescued him, and he picked up a life.
At that time, I consciously kept sticky in the crotch, thinking that I was being a eunuch, and I was very frightened.
After escaping back to the camp, when I opened my crotch to check, I found that it was a dart on the root of my thigh.
Because of the armor crotch cover, this dart is not very bad, only a hole was drilled into the thigh, and blood flowed out, and the bleeding had stopped at this time.
So in the future battles, this injury did not affect Xu Sheng to lead the troops into battle.
On that day, when Zhou Yu handed over the command of the battlefield to Ding Feng and returned to the camp to allocate men and horses, he called Xu Sheng to him and ordered: "Order you to take a reserve of 5,000 men and horses and station them in the most hidden place of the camp. ”
Xu Sheng received the order and was stationed there, and at the beginning of today's battle, Xu Sheng was anxiously waiting for Zhou Yu's order, but Zhou Yu never sent someone over to mobilize his men.
Hearing the sound of killing at the front door and back door, when Xu Sheng came out to look, he saw that the front and back of the camp were full of fire, shining like a white sun.
After waiting for a while, I saw Wu soldiers and Jingzhou soldiers scurrying around each other, chasing and fighting, Xu Sheng couldn't figure out the situation on the battlefield, and didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to order the soldiers to hide in place and wait for Zhou Yu's order.
However, after waiting for less than an hour, the fire in the whole camp gradually weakened, and the sound of killing gradually disappeared, but the sound of chaotic footsteps came and went.
According to the situation, Xu Sheng knew that Wu Bing was finished, and estimated that Zhou Yu either escaped or died in battle, and the order could not wait, so he prepared to escape.
Xu Sheng estimated that since his own soldiers and horses had failed, the camp must have been surrounded by Jingzhou soldiers before and after.
When Xu Sheng was thinking, he suddenly saw the direction of the original Chinese army's big tent, and there were several fires in several places, and the surrounding area was bright.
In the firelight, Xu Sheng saw a group of men and horses coming from the north gate, and a team of Jingzhou soldiers from the direction of the south gate.
When Xu Sheng saw it, he knew that this was Liu Cong, and said secretly in his heart: "Isn't this a God-given opportunity, the enemy army is in the light, I am in the dark, and the distance between the two is an arrow, if you use a dark arrow to shoot the enemy general, hehe, the situation of this war will be reversed immediately,
I have 5,000 general reserves here, and they are unscathed at this time, well, just these 5,000 men and horses are enough to defeat the Jingzhou soldiers. ”
Thinking of this, Xu Sheng trembled excitedly, and thought while trembling: "The time for meritorious service has come, if I, Xu Sheng, shoot Liu Cong and turn the tide of the battle, I will save the fate of Eastern Wu, and from then on, well, I Xu Sheng, well, the lord will not worship me as an ancestor." ”
Thinking of this, Xu Sheng began to estimate the distance between the two, he knew that the two were a stone's throw apart, and he was not sure to shoot the enemy's commander, "You must get closer, the closer you get, the more sure you are." ”
Xu Sheng thought excitedly, turned around and whispered: "One hundred crossbowmen, come over and move closer to me." "A hundred crossbowmen came up,
Xu Sheng ordered: "Leave sixty people behind, just prepare to meet here, and when you see the Jingzhou soldiers chasing after you, just shoot them with arrows and cover the retreat of the forwards." ”
After Xu Sheng finished speaking, he took forty crossbowmen to bend down and move forward, and touched more than twenty meters in front of him, and there was a bush in front of him, Xu Sheng ordered to leave thirty crossbowmen in ambush, and then, he tiptoed forward with ten elite crossbowmen, ready to shoot Liu Cong, the general of the white horse,
Xu Sheng's position at this time happened to be in a straight line with Liu Cong's fire, and what Liu Cong left Xu Sheng was the dark side of the figure.
The distance was only about twenty steps, and Xu Sheng saw it and begged secretly: "God bless, I hope I have made a great achievement." ”
Xu Sheng prayed like this, and then ordered the ten crossbowmen in a low voice: "Ready, aim." ”
Ten crossbowmen bent their bows and arrows at the same time, pulled a half-squatting posture, and aimed their arrows at Liu Cong.
Xu Sheng instructed again: "After the first arrow is fired, immediately set up an arrow and prepare to shoot again." ”
Many things can't be done, most of them are not good on the spot, the reason is that they should be fully prepared and rigorous.
If you are too well prepared, you will create psychological pressure on yourself, and the greater the pressure, the more it will cause abnormal operation.
These ten Wu soldiers crossbowmen, because they were too well prepared, Xu Sheng was too demanding, and they knew that the prey they shot was the commander-in-chief of the enemy, and they knew how important it was to shoot the commander-in-chief of the enemy, so they made a mistake and failed to kill Liu Cong with an arrow.
At that time, with Xu Sheng's low order, ten sharp arrows flew over Liu Cong at the same time,
This sharp arrow flew fast and accurately, advancing with the sound of the wind, and it was shot at Liu Cong's body, if it was shot at this moment, Liu Cong's right half of his body would look good.
However, it's not just Liu Cong's fate, it's Wu Bing's inaccurate arrows, and whether Liu Cong has any premonition, I don't know, anyway, just when the ten arrows were about to pierce Liu Cong's right body, Liu Cong actually jumped off the horse, squatted down, and said something to Wei Yan by the light of the fire.
I only heard a few screams from Liu Cong's personal soldiers on the left side of the White Horse Snow King, and when Liu Cong hurriedly turned his face to look, four of his personal soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the other personal soldiers shouted at the same time: "There are assassins and assassins." While shouting, he came over to guard Liu Cong,
When Liu Cong saw it, his mind was excited, and he knew that he was careless, so he immediately ordered: "Get out of here and talk in the dark." After that, he rushed to the dark place first, and then hidden, and while observing around, he secretly shouted: "Danger, I am in the light, and the enemy soldiers are in the dark, isn't this looking for death, fortunately, my life is in the sky, how can the dark arrow be claimed." ”182
