Chapter 893: Wronged
The herald took the order, and Song Jiang arranged for his subordinates to collect the corpse covered by Chao, and only waited for the battle to end, and then made a high-end coffin for its burial.
When the soldiers collected the corpses, Guan Sheng and other leaders who had not yet fought began to whisper about the origin of this strange arrow.
Some people analyzed that this arrow was originally one of the random arrows, but the blind cat met the dead mouse, and Brother Chao Gai's luck was too bad, so he was blinded by this arrow.
Some people also say that this arrow is by no means one of the random arrows, the reason is that this place is still three hundred steps away from Nandaying, and it is impossible for ordinary bows and arrows and ordinary archers to shoot so far, and there must be a sharpshooter in Zengtou City.
This statement is also not convincing, because Zengtou City is also quite famous on the ground in Shandong, no matter how far or near, people have a top master Shi Wengong here, who is the second apprentice of Zhou Dong who drove out of the wall, and his martial arts are not under Lu Junyi. But I've never heard of any archers in Zengtou City.
Marksmen like Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun must be famous all over the world, they can shoot arrows at such a far target at night, and hit with one arrow, how can such a marksman be unknown?
In short, there are different opinions, and no one can convince anyone, but it's a pity that Hua Rong, an expert in bows and arrows, is not here, and can't give the most authoritative conclusion.
The leader here was talking about the archers, and a few soldiers in the distance were collecting the corpses under the light of torches, and the poisonous arrows nailed to the cheeks were naturally about to be removed, and a soldier carefully tore a piece of the corner of his clothes, trying to wrap the shaft of the arrow, as if he was worried that the shaft of the arrow was highly poisonous.
At the moment when he was about to wrap the shaft of the arrow, he found that there were three words engraved on the shaft of the arrow, so he shouted: "Lord Song Zhai, there are three words on this shaft, the small one is illiterate, but guess that this is the name of the person who shoots the arrow." ”
"What?" Song Jiang was shocked when he heard this, and said that it would be difficult to have a name on the shaft of this arrow.
It stands to reason that it is a good thing that there is a name on the shaft, because it can be used to determine who the murderer is, so that he can be caught and killed in front of Chaogai's grave, so as to comfort the spirit of the king of the tower.
Song Jiang didn't think so, he originally thought that this was a random arrow, who knows which one of the more than 10,000 soldiers in Zengtou City shot it? I don't know, there is nowhere to find it, as long as he wins this big victory, even if he avenges Chao Gai, he can calmly ascend to the throne with Chao Gai's last words.
But the name engraved on this arrow is different, the name on the shaft of the arrow shows that this person is extremely confident in his archery skills, if not, what is the purpose of carving the name? Let those who have not been shot pick up and laugh at it?
The archery skill is extremely high, which can indirectly prove that this person's martial arts are also extremely high, such a character, is it said that he can be caught if he catches, and he can be killed if he says he kills?
First of all, he can't capture or kill this person, so he can only rely on a brother like Li Kui to take action for him, but Li Kui has already been arrested, Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu have also been arrested, and who else is loyal to my Song Zhai master? Moreover, once the non-descendant leader on Liangshan has robbed him, if someone mentions Chao Gai's last words, won't this Liangshan's first golden chair be hanging again?
Although he was worried when he heard the news, he could not help but ask what was engraved on the shaft of the arrow, and since the sergeants were illiterate, he needed to send a literate person to take a look, and as for himself, he did not dare to come closer to the torch, lest a second arrow be fired and take his life.
Thinking of this, he said to Chai Jin: "Brother Chai Jin, you are literate, you go over and see what that name is." ”
Chai Jin has always respected Song Jiang's character, and he also understands Song Jiang's performance just now, in that case, he should protect the lieutenant first, so when he heard Song Jiang ask him to go over to read the words, he went very happily, and looked at the torches in the hands of the soldiers, and said, "Shi Wengong!"
The three words engraved on the shaft of the arrow are none other than Shi Wengong.
Shi Wengong actually has such superb archery skills, why hasn't anyone on the rivers and lakes mentioned it?
They didn't know that if Shi Wengong hadn't been forced by Hu Yanzhuo's chain of horses, he wouldn't have shot an arrow, and after this arrow, it would be difficult to conceal his archery skills, and the enemy would also think that he was good at night shooting, if this matter spread, he might not be able to use a bow and arrow to ensure victory when he encountered a strong enemy in the future.
Shi Wengong's purpose in shooting this arrow was very clear, on the one hand, it was to demoralize the soldiers of Liangshan, and on the other hand, it would take some time for his soldiers and horses to withdraw to the Zhongda Battalion and Zengtou City, where the Zhongda Battalion was located. Shooting Chao Gai to death, the attack on Liangshan is bound to be suspended for a period of time, and with this period of evacuation, the casualties of the soldiers of Zengtou City will be minimized.
It was only said that after Chai Jin reported that the name on the arrow shaft was Shi Wengong, the leaders of Liangshan exploded, and many people began to be afraid, sure enough, it was Shi Wengong, this guy shot a good arrow! Be careful in the next battle, don't die like Chao Gai and don't know how to die.
Of course, more people are clamoring to capture Shi Wengong alive to avenge Chao Gai.
"Kill Shi Wengong!"
"Capture Shi Wengong alive!"
Such a slogan was shouted so loudly that even Shi Wengong and Su Ding, who had retreated to the Zhongda camp, could hear it.
Su Ding asked very strangely: "Brother Shi, who did you shoot to death just now? Provoke the people of Liangshan to hate you so much, isn't it Chao Gai who was shot by you?"
Shi Wengong smiled mysteriously and said, "Those who come to offend me in Zengtou City deserve to die, what does it make if it is Chao Gai or not." ”
He didn't brag about this, if it weren't for the timely deployment of shield bearers by the Liangshan Central Army, he would really shoot a few more leaders of Liangshan.
Su Ding couldn't ask an answer, so he simply stopped talking about this matter, and instead said: "I really didn't expect that Liangshan's soldiers and horses have developed like this, and there must be a hundred and eighty thousand soldiers on all four sides, right?
Shi Wengong smiled faintly and said, "It's just a group of rabble, don't worry." ”
At this time, Zeng Rong's order had already been issued, and the soldiers of Zengtou City in the three large camps in the east, west and north had already withdrawn to the Zhongda camp, leaving Liangshan with empty villages on all sides.
Over there, Song Jiang was trying his best to think about how to let his people catch Shi Wengong, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a way, and when he was worried, the five tiger generals from the east, west, and north all sent heralds, saying that the camps they attacked had been taken.
"Keep fighting!" Song Jiang replied, "They hide in Zengtou City, let's enter Zengtou City to fight, even if they go to heaven and earth, we will kill him without leaving a piece of armor." Tell your Lord that they will lead the men into ......."
The heralds returned, and after a short time, the remaining three waves of Liangshan troops beat the war drums of the attack, and the officers and men of all units flocked to the Zhongda camp in Zengtou City like a tide.
