Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 675

Not only in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but also in the official history of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Generally speaking, the generals are called "skilled bows and horses." However, when describing Taishi Ci's shooting skills, a large description is used. How did Tai Shici break through the besieged city in Beihai, and his arrows were all shot.

Before Li Shu rebelled, he deliberately used an excuse to distract Cheng Pu, Tai Shici and others. Therefore, when the two of them reacted, they had less than 3,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, while Li Shu had 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city. The battle of the city has always been the only way for the siege party to have more troops, and it is rare to attack a strong garrison with a small number of troops.

After some discussions between Tai Shici and Cheng Pu, most of them were stationed outside the city under the leadership of Cheng Pu, while he himself took the only one hundred riders to provoke outside the city of Shu County.

When the rebels in Shu County saw Taishici so bold, they were naturally furious, and they shot volleys at Taishici, but Taishici avoided them one by one. Holding the longbow in his hand, they shot sharply. Four or five people fell, and his eyesight was quick and he was able to take arrows with his hands, so although there were many archers in the city, he still couldn't help but Tai Shi Ci.

Tai Shici rode out of the camp for several consecutive days. As long as he saw someone who dared to show his head on the top of the city, he would shoot without saying anything. In the past three days, he has shot down more than 40 people. Therefore, the Lujiang rebels can be described as " "Talking about the history's discoloration", did not dare to show up.

Tai Shici took more than a hundred riders around the city walls of Shu County for a while, but no one dared to show up under the curse, so he had to swear, and then led more than a hundred horses back to the camp.

"Huh!" Tai Shici took off his helmet, bursting into the camp with a stubborn heat on his head.

"Ziyi, what's wrong?"

Sitting on the main seat was a veteran with black and white beard and hair, and an iron-backed snake spear beside him. He was one of the four generals who had followed Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, with the word Demou.

"General Cheng, the rebels in this city are really brave!"

Tai Shi Ci sat down with his helmet in his arms and said coldly: "A certain cavalry leader surrounded the city and shouted, but no one in the city dared to raise his head. Finally, one person showed his head and was shot to death by an arrow. The rest became The tortoise shrank its head."

"It's a pity that our army is not strong enough, otherwise it would be to attack the city directly!" Tai Shici believed in himself: "A certain is willing to go first to capture and kill Li Shugou."

Cheng Pu smiled and said: "The son is high-spirited, this is a good thing, but don't worry, a certain person has already sent someone to inform the lord, presumably the reinforcements will arrive soon."

Lujiang County is located in Jiangbei, and the news is not as convenient as Wu Jun in the middle, so it has no knowledge of Shanyue's rebellion and Sun Yi's killing.

Tai Shici's face was slightly dim: "Bo Fu Gong...Oh!"

If Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's most important general in Jiangdong, then Tai Shi Ci must be closely behind Zhou Yu. Sun Ce and Tai Shi Ci can be described as a typical example of monarchs and ministers. The two do not know each other. They are both ministers and friends. After hearing that Sun Ce passed away, Tai Shici remained silent for a long time.

Cheng Pu said comfortingly: "Zi Yi, Bo Fu has passed away. The most important thing right now is to protect the Jiangdong foundation he left behind."

Tai Shici nodded, clenched his fist and said, "Well, I caught Li Shugou thief, and someone would use his head to pay tribute to Uncle Fu Gong."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, Cheng Pu and Tai Shici turned their heads to look, and a dusty Jiangdong army scout rushed in.

"Subordinate Zhang Feng, see the old general of the process and the captain of Taishi."

Cheng Pu asked, "Why are you here? Could it be that my Jiangdong reinforcements have arrived?"

"Yes, General Cheng, General Zhou rushed from Chaisang to Wuxian with troops. He has been appointed by the lord to be the chief governor. Starry night led the army to assist Lujiang. The subordinate is Xiaowei Xu's scout, who came here to inform."

Tai Shi Ci was overjoyed upon hearing the words: "General Zhou, no! How many soldiers and horses did Governor Zhou bring?"

"The governor has led a total of 22,000 soldiers, with 3,000 soldiers and horses led by Xiaowei Xu as the vanguard. Now he has crossed the Yangtze River and reached the north bank, and he will be there within half an hour."

Cheng Pu and Tai Shici looked at each other, and both were full of joy.

"Ziyi, get out of the camp to meet Wen Xiang, haha."

Tai Shici ordered Scout Zhang Feng to go down and rest, and then walked out behind Cheng Pu, looking out together.

After a while, thousands of Jiangdong troops came in gallop, carrying a "Xu" flag. Although the number of this military horse is not large, the array is as usual during the march, and almost no one is left behind. It is obviously a team. The well-versed soldiers, both physical strength and will, are quite tough.

To measure the combat effectiveness of a unit, it is not only necessary to look at battles, but also to march. If an army marches well, it can still maintain an array after a long rush march. It is naturally a good soldier, but after a rush march, it will drag and slow down, and it is naturally a straggler.

For example, in the early Song Dynasty, Emperor Emperor Song was determined to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun. The Song army’s infantry set a record for the rapid march of the ancient army. They travelled 1,200 miles in six days, with an average speed of two hundred miles a day, and they reached After that, he spent eight consecutive days of siege operations, which shows the elite of the Song Army infantry.

On the other hand, in the late Ming Dynasty, the Eight Banners of Jurchen entered the Invaders and Xuan Da, and Lu Xiangsheng was appointed as a superintendent, summoning all the troops from the nine sides to assist. Only one-half or even a quarter of the remaining troops were left behind because of the rapid march, and they did not arrive until two or three days later. Some people simply became deserters. It was natural wishful thinking that such an army would win the battle. .

"The last general Xu Sheng, see the old general of the process, the captain of Taishi!"

When the reinforcements came, it was Xu Sheng who rode out.

"Hahaha, Wen has always come at the right time, hurry into the camp."

Tai Shici stepped forward and hugged Xu Sheng, Cheng Pu also smiled.

Xu Sheng arranged for three thousand soldiers and horses under his command to be stationed in the camp, and followed Tai Shici to the army camp.

As soon as he sat down, Cheng Pu couldn't wait to say: "Wen Xiang, where did the Zhoudu Supervisor arrive, and how long will it take to arrive?"

Xu Sheng thought about it, and replied: "The Zhoudu army is following our army. At this moment, they have probably reached the north bank of the Yangtze River. As long as Jiang Lang will be able to cope, no accidents, within a day or two, 19,000 troops will be able to reach Shu. Under the county seat."

Jiang Langjiang was Jiang Qin. He and Zhou Tai were both water pirates who were rampant between the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River. Later, when Sun Ce crossed the river and attacked Liu You, he came and ran. Jiang Qin was proficient in water warfare command, so he was appointed as General Hengjiang Zhonglang by Sun Ce, and he was called General Jiang Lang in the army.

"Okay!" Cheng Pu smiled: "In this way, my 25,000 army will gather under the city of Shu County, and the city will be broken!"

"That's right, Brother Ziyi." Xu Sheng suddenly remembered Zhou Yu's request, looked at Tai Shici, and said: "After Zhou Dudu Zeng ordered a certain man here, he sent a sentry to search Lujiang County to find out whether there was Cao Jun's trace. , But there are few detectives in a certain army, so you have to trouble Brother Ziyi to help."

South of the Yangtze River, there are no war horses, and can only be traded from the north. Therefore, the army is mostly infantry and navy, while the cavalry force is basically zero. Only the northern Taishi Ci has more than a hundred horses, which is extremely precious.

Tai Shici said boldly: "It's easy to say, a certain will send out the detective."
