Chapter Twenty-Six: The City Gate Shoots
Tai Shici planned to go out of the city and reinforce the soldiers guarding the sheep and horse wall, but when he went down to the city gate, he was stopped, saying that it was taken by the state and was in a vicious battle, and the city gate must not be opened in order to prevent accidents. Tai Shi Ci was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "That's like abandoning the guards outside the city, if there is no support from the city, how can the sheep and horse walls be guarded?!" β
Kong Rong doesn't know how to fight at all, but he is very good at winning people's hearts, and the military law is strict, and the guards resolutely obey his orders and dare not disobey them at all. Tai Shici was forced to go to the county government to plead with Kong Rong, and once again offered to lend him the military power temporarily. Tai Shi Ci was forced to run back again, and he pleaded with Yi and other officials who actually commanded the defense of the city, but although these officials did not have a lotus tongue like Kong Rong, if they wanted to perfunctory the white body of a foreign county, it was still completely possible.
After all, the prime minister refused to let go, what right did they have to lend troops to Tai Shici?
Sure enough, the fighting stopped and fought until the evening, and the officers and soldiers outside the city suffered heavy casualties, so Kong Rong commanded remotely in the county office, and ordered to quietly open the city gate, abandon the sheep and horse wall, and bring in all the soldiers who were still alive. For a whole day, Tai Shici didn't fight the battle, and as for Shixun, he wouldn't fight if you gave him a chance.
After dark, Kong Rong convened all the officials to discuss, with a bitter face, and said: "The thief is very powerful, if the rescue does not come, the city will be broken sooner or later, what can I do?" Tai Shici also mixed in with the meeting, but he looked left and right, and saw that the people attending the meeting, including Shi Yi is Ziyu, Liu Xiang, Liu Kongci, Liu Yixun, Zuo Jingzuo Chengzu, etc., were all civil officials and scribes, and there was no one who had commanded the war in the front line seriously.
Shi Xun was side by side with him, standing behind Shi Yi, quietly stabbed him, and asked in a low voice: "With today's situation, Ziyi, how many days do you guess the city can be defended?" Tai Shi Ci frowned and said hatefully: "If it is commanded by a certain person, the sheep and horse wall will not have to be abandoned for twenty days...... The sergeants fought quite bravely, but unfortunately the unscrupulous generals ruled, and if this continues, within a month, the city will fall! β
Yeshun listened, and almost didn't sit on the ground. Yesterday, I heard Tai Shi Ci say that he could guard until the Yellow Turban Thief retreated, he was quite proud, he didn't risk in vain, and today I heard Tai Shi Ci change his tone, and couldn't help but secretly scream: "Bitter, bitter, do you want to be martyred for Kong Rong, an idiot who has no ability and refuses to let go of power?!" Hurriedly asked Tai Shici: "What can I do?" β
When they heard that they were discussing with Kong Rong, they had to send someone to break through the siege and ask for reinforcements elsewhere. Some people mentioned Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao, some people mentioned Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, and some people mentioned Fenwu General Gongsun Zhan, but they were too far away and couldn't be in a hurry. At this time, Tai Shici stood up and came up with an idea: "The Yellow Turban Thief was chased by the Plains and Dongjun before he rushed back to Beihai, and he must be afraid of the soldiers and horses in the two places, so he can send people to the other side for help." β
Shi Yi nodded again and again and said, "Dongjun is too far away, you can go to the plains to ask Liu Xuande to send troops to help." Kong Rong frowned and asked him: "Yu and Liu Bei are not old acquaintances, and he is just a Wufuer, are you willing to come to the rescue?" β
Shi Xun remembered that Kong Rong's relief of the siege this time was Liu Bei's credit, so he pounced and said: "Liu Xuande is in the plains, and the Yellow Turban is as deep as the sea. This is also called 'cold lips and teeth'. I expect Liu Xuande to be not as timid as Jiao Zhijun, and the reputation of the mansion is all over the Kanto, how can he not come to the rescue? β
I believe that the sentence "Fu Zun and Xian are all over the Kanto" made Kong Rong listen very well, so he nodded again and again and said: "Hongfu is a great talent, what he said is very true." Then he went to the audience: "Who shall go to the plains for help?" β
Shi Yi and the others stared at each other with big eyes, and no one dared to talk to each other anymore. Just kidding, Wang Xiu and Wang Xiao, who were the first to ask for help, ran out of the city before the siege, and they were quite safe, but now that Duchang City has been besieged by Tuantuan, who has the courage to go out of the city with this civil official? Besides, even if one of them eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, or is rushed up by some "loyalty" stinky fart for a while, and gets carried away, then he must have the ability to get out, and it is estimated that before he crosses the moat, he will be shot into a porcupine by the enemy's arrows.
At the moment, there is only, and only Tai Shici can take the initiative to stand up and ask for help. Kong Rong was still hesitating, and said: "Outside the city, there are millions of yellow scarves, although Yu knows that his son is righteous and brave, but it is difficult to break through this siege?" Tai Shi Ci patted his chest: "When Tai Shi Ci was in exile, his mother was helpless at home, and he was taken care of by the prince of the mansion, so he came to help him for hundreds of miles. It's a pity that although I have to enter the city, I can't report it...... "I plan to repay your favor, but your soldiers won't give it to me, and the city gate won't open, so I'm still here alone?"
Then he said: "Duchang is in danger, and the only way to relieve the siege is to go to the plains for help." If Tzu can no longer be done, the world will regard Tzu as an unrighteous person, and it will also hurt the wisdom of the king. May the prince of the palace not be suspicious, he can write a letter quickly, and Yunci will go out of the city for help. β
Kong Rong was still not very relieved: "Can Ziyi really get out?" Tai Shi Ci smiled slightly: "Although the yellow turbans are numerous, there are not many people who can fight, and there is no discipline, there is no department, Ci has a clever plan to confuse the enemy, at most three days, he will be able to kill out of the city." β
After all, at the moment of life and death, no matter how hypocritical Kong Rong was, he couldn't help persuade Shi Yi, Shi Xun and others, and finally he had to agree, write a letter asking for help, and asked Tai Shici: "How many soldiers and horses do you have to follow?" Tai Shici said: "It is difficult to get out of the city when there are many people, so I only ask for good riders to ride with each other." Shi Xun hurriedly stood up and raised his hand: "Count me in!" He said in his heart that if history was changed, Tai Shi Ci had not brought the rescuers back, Duchang City would be breached, and he would really "lose his wife and break the army" when he came back this time, anyway, he made up his mind until the siege of the city was lifted, and he would never leave Tai Shi Meng's brother again!
In the end, Kong Rong had no choice but to let Shi Xun and a soldier named Zhai Yu follow Tai Shici's actions.
Tai Shi Ci first asked Shi Xun to untie his pair of stirrups, and found a blacksmith in the city to copy two sets overnight, equip himself and Zhai Yu's mounts, and then rest for the night. In the early morning of the next day, he asked Shixun and Zhai Yu to each hold a target, and he held a bow and arrow in his hand, shouted the order to open the city gate and gallop out.
At this time, the defenders outside the city had all withdrawn into the city, and the Yellow Turban Army had not yet reacted, and was still camped two arrows away from the moat, which meant that there was a buffer zone of more than 100 steps between the moat and the Yellow Turban barracks. However, the enemy was guarding and observing the city gate at all times, and as soon as the city gate was opened, the flags were immediately sounded and waved, and many men wrapped in yellow scarves and holding sharp blades in their hands got up from the ground in a hurry (originally they were just lying on the ground wrapped in blankets).
Shi Xun trembled a little, but fortunately, he thought that Tai Shi Ci was by his side, so he barely restrained the urge to turn around and run. According to Tai Shici's instructions, after he and Zhai Yu left the city, they rode their horses left and right, each seventy or eighty steps away from the city gate, inserted the target in their hands on the edge of the trench, and then turned around and left. Without waiting for those Yellow Turban troops to line up, Tai Shici suddenly rode out of the city gate, hung a pot of feather arrows on the left and right on his waist, first opened the bow and an arrow on the left, hit the left target, and then twisted his waist, opened the bow and arrow on the right, and then hit the right target.
Originally, the Yellow Turban Thieves estimated that because of the limited food, even the soldiers could only eat half full, so in order to save physical strength, coupled with poor organizational strength, they did not start attacking the city until near noon. This time, because of Tai Shici's performance, the big guy got up before he completely woke up, so since he got up, he attacked the city in advance, and since the siege was in advance, he should have called it a short end - from the time of the battle to the end of the day, he filled in several trenches, approached the city wall twice, shot dozens of defenders, and left hundreds of corpses on his side.
After Tai Shici returned to the city, he looked for a place to rest with the city, although he looked for people to inquire about the situation of the battle from time to time, but he never took the first step in the city. Shixun asked him why, and he said: "If I go to the city and see the fierce battle, I can't help but help, but at most I can kill a few more thieves, and it will not help the overall situation after all." If I don't do anything, I will be looked down upon, and if I do my part, I will be alerted to the thieves, and it will be difficult for me to get out of the city. With the combat strength of the thief army, it will be difficult to break the city for at least ten days, so Hongsuke is relaxed. β
It's Xunxin who said it's all this, where can I be relieved of anything. But forget it, just believe Tai Shici's judgment, after all, he is a general, and he is just a broken urge, so it's better not to interfere with the professional's plan.
Waiting for the next morning, Tai Shi Ci took Shi Xun and Zhai Yu out to perform again, this time let them insert the targets ten steps away, it was already nearly a hundred steps, Tai Shi Ci's arrows were not empty, and they hit one by one again. When he returned to the city, he smiled and said to Shixun, "Hongfu has noticed that the thief army that got up today is less than half of yesterday's. "It's Xun Xin who said that my liver trembles, where can I still have the leisure to observe the enemy's movements...... Wait, it turns out that Tai Shici's strategy is......
On the third day, when the light of day had just dawned, Tai Shi Cizha stopped, and it seemed that he was planning to go out of the city to perform again, and it was Xun and Zhai Yu who were on both sides of him, waiting for the city gate to open. Tai Shi Ci said to Shi Xun: "I expect that today, the thieves will definitely lose their vigilance, and I can break out of the siege quickly." But I am afraid that there are still vigilant people who will stop it, and it is impossible that there is no danger. Hongsuke is better off staying in the city. β
Shi Xun shook his head again and again: "Where Ziyi goes, where he goes, he still has to worry about Ziyi." Tai Shi Ci nodded with satisfaction: "Hongfu is really bold, but unfortunately his martial arts are not good, and when the siege is solved here, Ci will teach you well." β
Sure enough, as Tai Shici expected, the city gate "galala" opened left and right, and from a distance, I saw that the yellow turban thieves were still lying on the ground, and only some guards were still patrolling. Tai Shici turned his head to look at Xun and Zhai Yu beside him, and said softly: "It's the right time!" So the two of them stopped taking their bows in their hands, followed Tai Shici, whipped their horses, and galloped out of the city.
The three of them stepped through a trench that had just been filled, and rushed straight through a place where the thieves' camp was scarce and the garrison was relatively negligent. Sure enough, the Yellow Turban thieves first decided that they would continue to show their bow skills, and most of them continued to lie high, and then saw the three horsemen galloping to the front, and before they had time to take their weapons, they all rolled and fled, and almost no one dared to stop them.
It wasn't until nearly half of the siege circle was more than a mile thick that a few thieves on horseback finally reacted, relying on the large number of people on their side, rushing from the side, trying to delay the movement of the three men. Tai Shici was unceremoniously, stepped on the horse with both feet, stood up, opened the bow left and right, and shot several people in a row. Shi Xun followed him, and praised in his heart: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a general, stepping on a galloping horse, I can also maintain more than 20 seconds and a half minutes, he is nearly five minutes at this station, and he is not afraid of bumps, without losing his head, this leg strength and waist strength are against God!" β
was thinking wildly, not far away there was the sound of horses' hooves, turned to look, and saw a familiar figure galloping out of the chaos, firing a bow and arrows, shooting directly at Tai Shici's face. A good Tai Shi Ci, only slightly turned his head, dodged the arrow, and then turned around and returned with an arrow.
Seeing this, Shi Xun was shocked, instinctively waved his horsewhip, and slapped the buttocks of the mount under Tai Shi Ci's crotch fiercely!

Zhai Yu, a passing NPC who rushed out of Duchang City with Tai Shici and Shi Xun, was originally a fan of **, and when I said that I wanted to find a public face, he came up. Well, originally this guy planned to throw it away after using it once, in that case, let's find a chance to let him play again after hundreds of thousands of words. The first one to get in randomly, how much do you have to give some benefits, don't you?
