Starting from Jiangcheng County, if you go down the Yangtze River from the Yangtze River, you can reach Wu County in less than 100 miles, and the first stop is Dantu County.

Dantu County is one of the thirteen county towns of Wu County.

It is also the largest port in the north of Wu County, because it is close to the Yangtze River, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going on the wharf.

The reason why Wu County can develop has a great relationship with the Yangtze River, and Dantu is also because of the Yangtze River, which has brought a lot of economic prosperity to the entire Wu County.

Because of this, Dantu County has also become several more important county towns in Wu County, and Sun Ce's garrison here is slightly more than other county seats.

In the entire thirteen counties of Wu County, Sun Ce left a standing army of one or two hundred, or even three or four hundred people, in these counties, which could control the county seat and maintain law and order in the county seat, so as to prevent the turmoil of the young people and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

Other places may not need to garrison, but Wu County is different, and even the whole of Yangzhou is different.

Because Yangzhou is located in a remote area, there is still a certain distance from the Central Plains, although here hundreds of years ago, there were Wu and Yue countries, but because of the mountainous terrain, there are still many Shanyue people.

What are Shanyue people?

Shanyue is the collective name of the bandit armed group distributed in the mountainous areas of Sun and Wu counties in the late Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, at the beginning of the Yellow Turban, the world was in turmoil, and there were many local separatist forces such as Pan Lin, Peng Qi, Peng Shi, Fei Zhan, Zu Lang, Yan Baihu, Jin Qi, Mao Gan, Huang Chao, etc., because of social turmoil, or did not accept the king's rent and occupied the mountain as the king, which was collectively called Shanyue.

The word "Yamagoe" is also often used in conjunction with "bandits" and "mountain people". Its production mode is mainly agriculture, growing grains, and because of "copper and iron from the mountains", it often "casts its own armor". They were scattered in large numbers, lived in small clusters, were good at practicing martial arts, and relied on mountain dangers to form armed groups, whose leaders had many titles such as "handsome", "big handsome", "zongshuai", and so on, and were in a semi-independent state for the central feudal power.

Looking at the history books, you can also roughly understand that all kinds of uprisings and thieves mostly appear in Yangzhou, the main reason is that the mountains in this area are steep and the jungle is dense, which can not only accommodate millions of male soldiers, but also rely on the terrain and be self-sufficient, which is completely a paradise.

These people of Shanyue do not live in the county seat, but they do not interact with the people in the county at all.

They would often appear near the county seat, disturbing the lives of the people in the county, and attacking the towns from time to time, bringing great trouble to the imperial court.

Because of this, the counties and counties in Yangzhou have prepared their own township warriors all year round to prevent turmoil.

And Dantu County, because it is a relatively important county seat, there are naturally fewer soldiers and horses stationed here.

There were more than 1,000 people.

They are all soldiers and horses recruited by Sun Ce in Wu County, and they have a lot of experience in the army, so they can be regarded as relatively elite troops under Sun Ce.

When Yuan Yao appeared at the port outside Dantu County with dozens of warships, the news had already been received here in advance.

After all, after Zheng Bao led people to Jiangcheng County suddenly, martial law was already imposed on the entire Yangtze River waterway.

Many merchants were affected, and the county order of Dantu County soon dispatched soldiers and horses to be stationed on both sides of the Yangtze River port, often patrolling, and once they sensed that something was wrong, they would implement the action of blockading the port.

In this era, it was easy to blockade the port, and if the port was directly closed with a lock, the ships outside could not enter the port, so they could only get on and off the ships through the inconvenient riverbank.

The shallow water on the river bank made it impossible for ships to dock, and even small boats could only be used up and down, which greatly slowed down the time for warships to dock and enter the land.

In Dantu County, there are also a lot of soldiers, once they find that something is wrong, they can immediately react and intercept the enemy before they get off the ship.

However, although this method was good, Yuan Yao's ship had already sensed that something was wrong.

Yuan Yao was above the first battlefield, and from a distance, he saw the port sluice in the distance, and several soldiers blew the horn to close the port wharf.

A few soldiers hurriedly climbed to the mouth of the river, ready to close the sluice.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao immediately beckoned and shouted at Tai Shici.

"Ziyi, these people have been prepared for a long time, please shoot those people who are responsible for closing the port first."

The ship was still sailing on the river, two or three hundred steps away from the port, at this distance, the ship had to sail over, and then wait for Yuan Yao's men and horses to get off the ship and land, but I was afraid that the sluice had already been closed.

Where can Yuan Yao's men and horses enter the waterways of Dantu County?

Therefore, the only way is to kill these people while they have not closed the sluice.

And there is only one way to do this, using long-range arrows to shoot these people first.

It's just that if you want to shoot those people from such a distance, you need someone who shoots an arrow, who has extremely high archery skills, and not only that, but you also need to have enough strength, otherwise the arrows you shoot out can't shoot that far.

And by Yuan Yao's side, there happens to be such a person.

Tai Shi Ci!

Tai Shi Ci has a pair of ape arms and is very good at shooting.

In history, Tai Shi Ci's archery skills are extremely good, if there is a ranking of archery in the late Han Dynasty, then Lu Bu is the first, and only Tai Shi Ci dares to disagree.

Tai Shici's archery skills can be compared with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's archery skills are naturally recognized as powerful, and there are famous stories of Yuanmen halberd shooting that have been passed down through the ages.

The difficulty of shooting halberds can be imagined.

It is enough to prove that Lu Bu's archery skills are superb.

And Tai Shi Ci also has stories handed down.

According to records, once Tai Shi Ci followed Sun Ce to crusade against the bandits and attacked the side of the bandit city tower. Among the thieves, there was a man with a loud voice, holding a wooden pillar in his hand, standing on the tower and shouting insults to Sun Ce. Since the tower was built on a hill, it was too high from the ground for everyone to do anything about him.

Seeing this, Tai Shi Ci drew his bow and shot it, and the arrow flew away, directly piercing his wrist, nailing the thief's hand firmly to the wooden pillar, and letting out a bad breath for Sun Ce.

It can be seen that Tai Shici's archery is not only accurate, but also very powerful.

When Cao Cao heard of Tai Shici's prestige, he wrote to him in the hope that he would return.

In this matter, Yuan Yao naturally knows that the reason why he values Tai Shi Ci so much is because of this reason, this kind of ability, it is the Three Kingdoms version of 98K.

Where to fight, who else can compare with the generals in this world?

If it weren't for the shame of releasing dark arrows to hurt people in this era, Tai Shici would be the number one fierce general in Yuan Yao's heart!

Although it is not shameful to put dark arrows on the battlefield, but if he asks Tai Shi Ci to shoot a few arrows and kill a soldier, Tai Shi Ci will not refuse.

After receiving Yuan Yao's order, he quickly took action.
