Chapter 482: Plotting to Pacify Jiangdong (11)
At this moment, the county town of Wangu is full of mottled battle scars due to the defense of Shanyue bandits. Lu Su, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai, who didn't know that they had been targeted by Qin Xu, were frowning at this moment as they looked at the group of soldiers outside the city who were almost surrounding the small city they were in.
Originally, the county seat of Wangu was just to resist the thieves of the mountain and build a wooden city according to the advantages of the wide land in front of the mountain, and then it was expanded and strengthened several times, and the waste wood was removed to replace the stone as the base, so it has the current scale. And the city was originally equipped with at least 3,000 soldiers to cope with the mutation. But now the first crop of grain and grass has been harvested, and it is being transported to the hinterland of Yuzhang where the Shanyue people dare not enter lightly, and it coincides with Sun Ce's gathering of the soldiers of the whole county to compete with Lu Bu for the ownership of Yangzhou. Therefore, at this time, in the county town of Wangu, there are actually less than 1,000 troops.
But for these more than 1,000 soldiers, what they have to face now is the Qingzhou soldiers who only have 5,000 soldiers in the front army, how to fight with a force of ten to one? Therefore, in the face of Cao Xing's siege but not attack, blindly preparing for war under the city, and the contempt in his words, even Zhou Tai, who has the most generous temperament, can't help it.
"Don't be annoyed, there must be an ulterior motive for coming to the soldiers, don't be careless, go on the road. Watch me shoot him with an arrow, and the right to relieve your hatred! "Jiang Qin's bow technique has been taught by masters, and he is proud of it, although he doesn't know why Cao Xing, who is obviously ten times his own, will besiege Wangu City and not attack it, but Jiang Qin still has no reduced fighting spirit, and seeing that Zhou Tai is excited to go out of the city and fight to the death, he hurriedly stopped and said.
"Good!" Although Zhou Tai was fierce, he was not impulsive, and as soon as Jiang Qin said it, he spat at the city fiercely, and pointed to Cao Xing, who was standing in front of the city and was also carrying a giant bow, and said: "Gong Yi took the head of the thief with one arrow." After the war, I will invite you to drink! ”
"It's decided!" Jiang Qin calmed down, smiled at Zhou Tai, and took his bow and arrows sideways. Contemptuously glanced at Cao Xing, who was sitting on the horse and seemed to be unconscious, Fu Lin's heart was in his heart, and he shot at Cao Xing with a reflexive arrow, and the corners of Jiang Qin's mouth also became larger and larger as he watched the arrow take off his hand and hit Cao Xing.
"I can't help myself!" But in the next moment, something happened that made Jiang Qin a little incomprehensible. Seeing that Cao Xing, who seemed to be about to become the soul of his Jiang someone's arrow in the next moment, actually after a light snort, at an incomprehensible speed, after Jiang Qin shot the first arrow, he completed the action of picking up the bow and pulling the arrow and pulling the string and releasing the arrow in an instant, and the same wolf tooth eagle feather arrow even came first. At a distance of no more than twenty zhang, it hit from the bottom and collided with the arrow shot by Jiang Qin, almost hearing and seeing, only a sharp and thin collision was heard. In the midfield of the two armies, the collision of two arrows actually burst out of the spark.
"Huh? This...... How can it be? This sudden change in the scene made Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, who didn't even know martial arts, see the gap between the two. Jiang Qin's archery skills are certainly clever, but don't forget that Cao Xing is a "powerful" figure like Xiahoudun who can make people like Xiahoudun deflated with bows and arrows in history. As far as archery is concerned, even Lu Bu, a master who can shoot halberds at the gate, also praises Cao Xing, since the Shengong Battalion was disbanded and included in the Linzi City Defense Army, he was directly stationed in Xiapi as the deputy commander of the Qingzhou Army, and actually presided over a number of affairs. Cao Xing, who can enter the eyes of characters like Lu Bu, is really not afraid of anyone in archery! Jiang Qin chose this way to vent his anger for Zhou Tai, and he should also have this "blow".
"It's time for so-and-so!" Cao Xuan seemed to anticipate the expressions of Lu Su and the others on the city wall, and stroked the dark giant bow in his hand. With a smile on his lips, he pulled out three arrows from the quiver behind his back, raised his bow in front of the people with such a big grin, leaned back and lay on the horse's back, raised the giant bow horizontally, and aimed it at the three people on the city wall without any scruples.
"Oh no, flash mob!" At first, when he saw Cao Xuan lying on horseback, he didn't know what he was going to do, but when he saw Cao Xing's actions, Zhou Tai was the first to react, and immediately reached out to pull Jiang Qin and Lu Su away. But no matter how fast Zhou Tai is, he will never be able to compare with the arrows in Cao Xing's hands. Just when Zhou Tai just issued a warning, the three arrows in Cao Xing's hand had already finished and flew like meteors, and when Zhou Tai wanted to block it, it was too late.
"I'm dying!" Zhou Tai was struggling to pull Lu Su and Jiang Qin behind him, and when he saw the arrows shot by Cao Xing, he arrived in front of him, which was the last thought in Zhou Tai's heart after closing his eyes.
"Heck...... Haha...... "The sharp pain struck, but it was not the expected pain of the sharp blade piercing the chest, Zhou Tai just took a few steps back and hit Jiang Qin's body, not to mention the blood on Zhou's body, and there was not even a white spot left on the armor. Zhou Taizheng, who was puzzled, hesitated, but suddenly heard bursts of laughter from the five thousand Qingzhou soldiers under the city, and carefully looked at the three arrows shot by Cao Xing who fell on the ground in front of him, but only saw three bare arrow shafts, which were actually broken arrows.
"Thieves are hateful!" Seeing that this was the case, Zhou Tai did not feel the feeling of the rest of his life, but seemed to be on fire in his eyes. This feeling of being teased is even more uncomfortable than killing yourself. Zhou Tai, who was about to erupt fire in his eyes, immediately rushed down the city wall with his knife and chopped the laughing people in the city's soldiers into pulp to relieve his hatred.
"Stay at peace, the enemy will be a radical tactic. And it seems that the soldiers are several times larger than mine, but they besiege this small county town without attacking, there must be something else to ask for! We just need to stick to it, and we must not act rashly. Seeing that Jiang Qin couldn't hold Zhou Tai several times, Lu Su said with a straight face: "Moreover, the county seat of Wangu is only fifty miles away from Yuzhang, Gongjin will definitely not sit idly by and watch us in trouble, and there will definitely be some action, and the lord has also heard that he is coming north, so no matter what the other party wants, what we have to do is to wait for help according to the city!" Youping, don't be brave for a while! ”
"This ...... Hum! And let it be arrogant for a while. "It's good that Lu Su, who is the Cheng of Wangu County, is a kind person, and he is not proud of his family on weekdays, nor does he despise martial artists as a literati, so he is quite respected by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, although Zhou Tai is still on fire now, and he can barely listen to Lu Su's words. He glanced at Jiang Qin and said hatefully.
"Listen to the soldiers in the city!" It was easy for Lu Su to persuade Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to temporarily extinguish the idea of going out of the city with Cao Xing, but suddenly heard the Qingzhou soldiers led by Cao Xuan outside the city After a slight commotion, more than a dozen loud-voiced sergeants shouted in front of the battle: "The rebel Sun family, raise troops in vain." Disturbing the state and county, poisoning the living beings, causing the resurgence of the war and the suffering of the people. Today, there is a special guard of the imperial court. The general of Zhengdong led the Xuzhou assassin history, and the Hou Qin of Wuting was ordered to march south, hang the people and cut down the crime, so as to deter the subordinate. Sun Ce was restrained when he heard this, and Zhou Yu was at a loss when he heard it, this small county of Wangu, the city of Puer, should have been fought to capture Er, but General Qin suffered from the suffering of the army and the people in the city. Lang Er and others were also deceived by the Sun family, and it was not their intention to fight. Linhuai Lusu, Jiujiang Zhoutai, Shouchun Jiang Qin, are also the world's heroes. Therefore, it is a special life. If you still resist stubbornly, the day the city is broken, the people will suffer, and you will be guilty of it! ”
"Fart! Fart! Fart! "Jiang Qin Zhoutai was originally born as a thief. The most is to believe in righteousness first, listening to the words shouted by the Qingzhou soldiers, there is a lot of contempt for Sun Ce, when even if his face is red, Zhou Tai is so angry that he slashed the nine-ring broadsword in his hand on the wooden pillar on the top floor of the city wall, staring at Cao Xing, who was looking upwards with a good look. It was as if it had to be swallowed alive to be happy.
"The enemy wants us to mess up! Gongyi, Youping, don't be fooled! Lu Su is not like Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai who only listen to the words of the general text and openly despise the Sun family, as a wise and honest Zhou Yu is not much weak, but his temperament is honest Lu Su, but he heard the other meaning in these words. But if you hear it, you hear it. Lu Su was unmoved. Although Lu Bu has been spurned by the world since before, and now he is gradually praised by the people because of the stability of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, for Lu Su, this cannot be a reason to summon himself immediately. What's more, now each is its master, and no one can say how much water is in these words. And Qin Xu's name, Lu Su has long heard of it, whether it is the legend of the beginning, the weirdness of the sudden rise, what can make Lu Su remember it in his heart, but it is the legend that when someone Qin is in danger, he often uses strange dangers, and every time it is always beyond everyone's expectations, even this time Sun Ce attacked Fuguan with the momentum of victory, but in the end it was still in vain. Let Lu Su have no idea what kind of "conspiracy" Qin Xu, who has not yet appeared, to be honest, he has no bottom in his heart. Therefore, at this moment, even if the text is sincere and the good words are said to the sky, it is difficult for Lu Su to relax his vigilance and try his best to stabilize the emotions of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai.
Qin Xu actually didn't think that he would achieve his goal with just a few words. The intention of this is more to make the hearts of the few defenders in the county town of Wangu become chaotic because of the lack of reinforcements for a long time, and it is best to let Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai "break free" from the constraints of Lu Su and provoke them out of the city, then they can send Dian Wei, the "big killer" who has never shot before, to find an opportunity to take a cold shot and capture these two people in one fell swoop. Of course, it is best to be able to surrender on the spot and the two who are still unwilling at the moment, even if they can't surrender, they can also give the Sun army a big blow, and they can count it in one fell swoop!
I have to say that Qin Xu's manipulation of people's hearts, although he is not as good as Cao Cao and Liu Bei and other heroes of the time, with the aura of pig's feet, but because of the evaluation of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai in the historical records 1,800 years later, Qin Xu can often prescribe the right medicine at critical moments.
Jiang Qin Zhou Tai is different from Lu Su, who is good friends with Zhou Yu and has great kindness to Sun Ce, the two are born as thieves, although they have good character and strong combat power, but they are still because of their background, plus Jiang Qin's yellow hair and blue eyes, Zhou Tai's appearance is vicious, and they are not very good at Sun Ce's eyes, but the two of them have been aiming to make some names in this Sun Clan's military situation since they took refuge in Sun Ce. Now that he has been insulted like this, he is in an extremely unfavorable situation, and he has been waiting for Yuzhang's reinforcements from fifty miles away for a long time, in this case, it is not easy to maintain a fighting heart, where can Lu Su be persuaded with a few words?
"Mr. Zijing is polite, but now our army is outnumbered, the situation is dangerous, the main army is nowhere to be found, and the reinforcements of the Zhou army have been delayed. It's better to ask Mr. Zijing to lead the troops to sit in the town, and watch my two brothers go to do a fight with that guy first! The speaker was Jiang Qin, who was still persuading Zhou Taimo to be impulsive just now, which shows how excited these two brothers have been now.
"This ......" was just Lu Su's stunned effort, but Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai didn't wait for an answer, turned their heads and went down the city wall. In this case, even if Lu Su is forced to stay, it is estimated that it will have no effect, and in the end, he can only take a deep look at the empty official road in the direction of Yuzhang, and the dense Qingzhou soldiers under the city at this moment, and he doesn't know what he thinks, only a sigh.
