Chapter 114: All-Out Counterattack (1)
With the longbow in hand, Jiang Qi gently flicked the bowstring twice, these days he was busy with the method of lean painting halberds, and the bow technique was a little rusty, all said that martial arts were like sailing against the current, and now holding the bow arm, Jiang Qi felt this way.
"I'm afraid it's difficult for the master to be so far away!" Looking curiously at the dense enemy troops under the city, Jiang Cheng finally looked at the reckless man in the lead and reminded carefully.
"Cheng'er, how is your archery technique now" Putting away the hearts of snooping Sun and Erren, Jiang Qi handed the white feather fan in his hand to Jiang Cheng beside him and asked.
"Back to the master, the apprentice can now use a stone hard bow to take eighty steps to hit the target, master, I heard my father say that the master changed to a three-stone bow when you were six years old, the apprentice is really ashamed" was asked about martial arts, and Jiang Cheng, who was honest, couldn't help but blush.
"Cheng'er, don't be presumptuous, as a person who practices martial arts, the most important thing is to have self-confidence, if you even look down on yourself, how can your martial arts improve, there is nothing else to practice with archery, but you are familiar with it, and the arm strength of the bow and arrow is not the reason for examining archery, you should know that the first arrow in the army, you are too historian to use a three-stone bow" Looking at the apprentice's dejected appearance, Jiang Qi did not blame, and then patted his shoulder and encouraged.
"The apprentice remembers, and in the future, the apprentice will open a bow by a thousand more every day" Although Jiang Cheng was a little stupid, he was a solid eye, and immediately said.
"Yes, diligence can make up for clumsiness, today I will let you see the martial arts of the teacher, and take arrows to γγγγ" Jiang Qi was very happy about the apprentice's sensibility, and then asked for an arrow.
"Nuo γγγγ" Jiang Cheng didn't dare to stay when he heard the command, and even took the quiver in the hands of his own soldiers.
In the past, when Jiang Qi practiced archery, he was only sure of the target within one hundred and fifty steps, and he lost his hand when he fought with the Huns last time, and it was also that mistake that allowed the Marquis of Xubu Bone to escape, and now it is a matter of dignity, Jiang Qi also had to pay attention to it, and selected arrows again and again, and only found a Mitsubishi heavy arrow in a moment.
"Brother, is it inappropriate to be at such a long distance" Just as Jiang Qi was choosing the arrow, Zhou Yu, who had just chatted with the wonderful one, also came up and asked.
"Yes, the little thief of the Junhou District will let my father cook" Sun Ce, who had already thought that the victory was in his hands, also stepped forward and said with a child's face.
"Hahahaγγγ really?" Although Jiang Qi didn't take the bet to heart from the beginning, he was now despised by the child, and he had to win.
Locking on the target, Jiang Qi put away Fang Cai's cynicism, and immediately put his foot on the wall, and when he was condescending, he was on the bow with an arrow, and he was about to kill with one blow.
As Jiang Qi's momentum changed, even if the wind and the sun were beautiful at the moment, the people around Jiang Qi couldn't feel the warmth of the sun at all, as if the air between heaven and earth also stopped between Jiang Qi's murderous aura.
When the air at the head of Meiyang City became bleak, the neck of the happy enemy general who was shouting under the city was inexplicably cold, but although he felt the murderous aura, it was too late, and before he could react, his mouth that was open because of shouting had already passed through a thing quickly, and then he fell off his horse with wide eyes in disbelief.
"Open the γγγγ arrow" Watching the enemy general fall off his horse, Sun Ce's mouth grew incredulously, he couldn't believe that someone could hit the population with one arrow from a hundred and eighty steps away.
"This person's mouth is too dirty, when there is this report, Dian Wei beat the drum on the public platform and went out of the city to defeat the enemy army" After shooting an arrow, Jiang Qi sighed in his heart, originally he wanted to shoot people's eyebrows, but he didn't think about it and missed again, but now that he saw Sun Ce surprised, he could only make a mistake and not sweep his prestige.
"The general is mighty, the general is mighty, γγγγγ is yes, just as Jiang Qi thought, although the arrow feathers he shot were slightly off, but the effect was incomparably good, and when he put away his bow and arrows, the soldiers who saw this scene at the head of the city all slapped their weapons and shouted excitedly.
"Knock knock, knock knockγγγ" As the soldiers cheered, the huge cowhide war drums on the city met as Dian Wei threw off his arms.
Listening to the sound of the thick war drums, Sun Jian, who couldn't wait for a long time, immediately tightened the reins of his horse, and ordered when he pulled out the big knife at his waist: "Open the city gateγγγ Erlang, General Qilin is watching us at the head of the city, let the world see the bravery of our Jiangdong Erlang today, and kill γγγγ."
"Killing γγγγγ" will be the soul of a soldier, let alone a fierce general, even if Sun Jian's order is very ordinary, but when the quaint city gate was opened, hundreds of cavalry behind him rushed out like a tiger opening the gate.
Will be like a tiger, a horse like a dragon, when the city tower splashed thick smoke and dust when the slaughter began, these days, Han Zhijun has been accustomed to the retreat of the Han army, today most of them think that they come out but bask in the sun, they can go back to the errand, but that thought they would encounter something sudden, and now the leading general is still lying on the ground and glaring angrily, and in a blink of an eye, the untidy military formation will be chaotic.
A ride of the dust, when crossing the moat, Sun Jian raised the big knife has been waved, Sun Jian held in his hand the ancient ingot knife is a family heirloom, although it is a short weapon, but the power is not a small loss, cutting gold and breaking stones that is not a problem at all, with the handover of the two armies, I saw two people in leather armor being cut in half under the knife.
Jiang Qi had heard of Sun Jian's bravery before, but it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, as Sun Jian exerted his might, cutting melons and chopping vegetables, and defeated the enemy in a blink of an eye, Jiang Qi even wondered if he was Sun Jian's opponent at his peak.
"Mingjin Withdraws Troopsγγγγ "From the beginning to the end of the battle, in the face of Sun Jian's sudden attack, the enemy army did not organize an effective counterattack at all, and the whole battle was only a stick of incense before and after.
"Bell bell γγγγ" to advance with a drum and retreat with gold, this is the unified order of the Han army, although Sun Jian still feels that it is not enjoyable, but he does not dare to disobey the military order like a mountain, and immediately wiped his forehead with blood and hit the horse back.
"Why doesn't my brother chase, the enemy army has already retreated, just send another team of cavalry, when it is all annihilated" After seeing Ming Jin, the pursuit of cavalry stopped, Zhou Yu asked with some puzzlement.
"The enemy army is 100,000 people, what does it mean to annihilate 3,000 men and horses, and don't force the poor, this method of using troops is also" Zhou Yu said Jiang Qi didn't know, but since he knew that the other party had ambush soldiers, why should he be greedy for some men and horses, and even if he returned.
"Junhou γγγ strategy is defeated, no matter how Junhou archery pierces Yang in a hundred steps, just if you can shoot an amazing bow and arrow, the strategy is not as good as what if" Seeing Jiang Qi retract his gaze and explain, Sun Ce did not forget to admit defeat immediately.
"No matter how good the martial arts are, it's just a hundred enemies, don't you Jiangdong disciples all admire Xiang Yu? Since you admit defeat, then go back and study for three years to be an enemy! Seeing Sun Ce's free and easy Jiang Qi liked it very much, even if he felt Sun Ce's danger, he still suggested that he cherish talents in and out.
"I am willing to gamble and lose, and I will no longer suppress the literature and promote martial arts, and in the future, I will learn from the prince and the marquis to go to the horse to settle the world, and get off the horse to assist the society, and now I have to be persuaded by the prince and the marquis, and I will be grateful in my heart" Sun Ce is not a stupid person, how can he not hear the good intentions in Jiang Qi's words, and he should even guarantee it.
"Brother Bing Shu Yu has copied it, if Brother Sun is willing to learn, Yu will send you some" Listening to Sun Ce's words, Zhou Yu glanced at him again and proposed.
"For the literati, the book is fate, today Brother Yu actually wants to give it, Ce is grateful, since we are all brothers, it is better to become brothers before the battlefield, and it is good to serve the court together in the future" In the face of Zhou Yu's kindness, Sun Ce liked this person of the same age even more, and then asked.
"Brother Sun has great ambitions, although Yu is not as good as him, but since the elder brother proposes, the younger brother does not dare to disobey" Perhaps under the influence of Jiang Qi and a few sworn brothers, Zhou Yu also has the idea of marrying Jin Lan with Haojie, and now Sun Ce is proposing, but Zhou Yu is inexplicably happy, and then he will accept it.
"Can the prince witness for my brother" I didn't think that Zhou Yu was so painful, Sun Ce said excitedly.
"Hahahaγγγ I am very happy to see you like-minded Qi, so Qi is welcome" Looking at the sympathy of the two little children, Jiang Qi laughed and agreed, but if someone who knew him heard this laughter, he would definitely see a little bitterness.
Soon, as Jiang Qi agreed, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were not hypocritical, and immediately found three arrow feathers and inserted them on the wall, knelt down to each other, and formed a friendship of eight worships.
Watching Sun Ce and Zhou Yu tie up, the people who watched the ceremony had a faint bitterness in their hearts, and Jiang Cheng, who was eager to speak, finally slowly lowered his head in disappointment.
For the loss of his apprentice, Jiang Qi saw it in his eyes and hurt in his heart, if he started a friendship, Zhou Yu and Jiang Cheng could be regarded as having lived together for two years, and practicing martial arts together could be regarded as a good friendship, but this was the case, just when Zhou Yu had just married Sun Ce, he didn't even look at his 'friend', so how could he not disappoint Jiang Cheng.
Of course, although Jiang Cheng is a little disappointed, Jiang Qi is not easy to accuse, after all, the matter of righteousness is your love and my will, if you don't regard each other as brothers, what if you are righteous, right now Jiang Qi just patted the apprentice's lowered head to look at comfort.
"Junhou, the enemy army has retreated, and the last general has come to give orders" When Jiang Qi was not worth being an apprentice, a strong smell of blood made him lift his spirits.
"How are the casualties γγγ" Jiang Qi casually looked at the three blood-stained people who had just returned from the battle, and when he put aside his troubles, he immediately asked with concern.
"Ten people were killed in the battle, and more than 30 people were injured in different levels, but compared to nearly 1,000 people killed, this casualty is negligible," Sun Jian said with a little excitement.
"Very good, Brother Gongtai has worked hard, immediately make every effort to rescue the injured, just Benhou saw that they are all brave people, don't die of illness senselessly" Jiang Qi bowed his head slightly to express his appreciation, and then said.
"What should γγγ prince do next, if the general's estimate is good, most of the enemy army will attack in an hour at the latest," Sun Jian agreed, and immediately asked again.
"It doesn't matter, today's battle to show the might of our army, for now we just need to hold the city. If the enemy army invades the public platform, this gate may be attacked, and Ben Hou will hand it over to you now and add another 2,000 soldiers to defend it," Jiang Qi ordered after agreeing with Sun Jian's point of view.
"Rest assured, the last general will not let a little man climb the city towerγγγγ" Sun Jian naturally led the order with confidence just after winning a game.
"In this way, Ben Hou will leave first" Jiang Qi naturally believed in Sun Jian's ability, and then prepared to leave.
"Send the prince and the marquis γγγγ" Although he didn't understand why Jiang Qi suddenly came to fight and had to leave, Sun Jian didn't dare to get to the bottom of it, and immediately sent him off.
With Sun Jian and his soldiers in the city saluting and saying goodbye, Jiang Qi slowly descended from the horse road, and just as he paced, he ordered again: "Order the other three gates to send two thousand soldiers to guard, General Yuan Peng will bring five thousand to dispatch in the center, and in addition, the whole army will immediately bury the pot and make rice, and return to the camp to rest after an hourγγγγγ
