Taishi Ci’s Three Arrows Fix the Heart of the River

Author: Yang's Liangjiazi

Taishi Ci’s Three Arrows Fix the Heart of the River

Taishi Ci was so excited that he personally deployed his army in formation in front of Dongtiao Pavilion. More than two thousand soldiers lined up on the bank of Lushui River, which was also majestic and spectacular. It immediately attracted the attention of the enemy defenders.

Wang Ke personally led his troops to garrison at the Pavilion in the middle of the river, and the defense was extremely tight. The two armies faced each other across the river, and they could be said to be facing each other from a distance.

There is abundant precipitation in the south of the Yangtze River, and even this small Dongtiao water is dozens of feet wide.

Taishi Ci strode forward and roared: "Sun Lang helps the people in danger, and his kindness lies with the people. It is the general trend to wipe out Jiangdong. You have raised an army to rebel for your own selfish desires. In the face of the great trend, you are like a mantis holding a chariot. Why don't you surrender early?"

If the army sets foot in the center of the river, all those who resist will be crushed!"

What is the great momentum?

The majestic momentum is the majestic and majestic army of more than 2,000 soldiers standing behind Taishi Ci!

The rebel tribes on the other side of the river were frightened when they saw this large-scale counter-rebellion force. They were a bunch of mud-legged people and had no idea what was going on. They were suddenly dragged onto the battlefield to fight against the elite state army.

Some people are confused.

Not to mention ordinary people who understand why they are fighting, it is already the best for them not to have any doubts.

Wang Ke took a step forward, pointed at Tai Shici and cursed: "Sun Ce's minions, why don't you get out of Wu County! There are heroes like me in Jiangdong..."

Before Wang Ke finished cursing, Taishi Ci had already shot an arrow. The arrow penetrated Wang Ke's palm like a wave. The arrow did not lose its force and pinned Wang Ke's palm firmly to the flagpole behind him.

This arrow immediately caused everyone on our side to raise their arms and cheer, and the enemy general and flags were all messed up by this arrow!

Wang Ke screamed and held his blood-soaked palm, while his guests rushed forward in panic to rescue him.

At this time, Taishi Ci fired two more arrows, one of which nailed one person to death, and shot two of the tribesmen who came to rescue him to death on the shore.

Bu Qu, who came to the rescue from the other side, was instantly frightened and fled the place on both hands and feet, hurriedly retreating. Only the two corpses left in place were particularly desolate, and Wang Ke, who fell with the flag, held his palms and wailed.

Extremely desolate.

Sun Ce was stunned to see what a miraculous shooting this was. He shouted excitedly: "Color! The general's three arrows determine the country, and the strong man's long song breaks the enemy's barrier!"

Taishi Ci was so excited that he waved his hand proudly and shouted to the soldiers of the three armies: "Get ashore by boat."

He personally held a bow and arrows, stood in front of the boat, and encouraged the whole army: "If I, Taishi Ci, cannot clear the heart of the river and quell the rebels, it will be like a river that will never return! All the soldiers in the army will attack with me!"

Chen Wu, riding a horse, saw this scene next to Sun Ce and was deeply shocked and impressed by Taishi Ci's heroic spirit.

"General, Taishi Ziyi is so heroic that he can be said to be a powerful army. When the enemy troops line up to defend, they will destroy them head-on. With strong bows, heavy arrows and thunder, all enemy troops are invincible. He is truly a fierce general, one of the most powerful in the world.

There is no such person!"

Sun Ce had to admit that his vision was really shallow.

How dare you look down upon the heroes of the world and the most important art of archery in the Central Plains for five thousand years.

There is really someone among the fierce generals in this world who can shoot a three-stone strong bow and shoot an arrow that can pierce a Yang with a hundred steps!

Taishi Ci stood alone on the boat, and with his powerful bow and arrows, he shot six or seven powerful tribesmen who tried to guard the stall.

Especially those powerful guests who spoke up to give orders were shot dead among the three armies as soon as they gave orders.

Every time Taishi Ci shot, the soldiers behind him cheered and cheered, and their morale was as high as a rainbow.

However, a group of enemy troops who had never undergone strict training could withstand such a blow. They saw the guest leading the troops shot and killed in front of their eyes, and no one was supervising them. The cunning ones immediately fled back, while the timid ones were frightened.

The souls were frightened and dispersed one after another.

Taishi Ci personally jumped on the bank of the river, raised his spear and shouted: "The whole army is covering up and killing! With one go, we will defeat the enemy!"

After speaking, he personally rushed in front of the three armies, and rushed towards the densely packed military formation of powerful troops.

Jiang Qin looked at Taishi Ci rushing into the formation alone. Wherever the blade touched, he was invincible and the enemy's formation collapsed. He was shocked and said: "Taishi Ziyi is indeed worthy of being a heroic and martyr. Today's battle will be magnificent!"

Sun Ce is also very energetic, this guy is still as tiger as ever!

He once dared to attack Sun Ce's most elite black armor cavalry alone, but now he dares to attack thousands of enemy troops alone.

The difference is that when he was under Liu Yao, there was no one behind him. Under Sun Ce, he commanded a large number of elite soldiers!

He was so powerful that the three armies were strong and powerful. He mobilized the morale of both sides with one person. The enemy army was invincible, and his own soldiers took the opportunity to cover up the enemy. The enemy could not even stand at the stall, and was directly defeated by a square formation. They retreated several times.

Ten steps!

The defeat of a phalanx is not a decisive change in a battle.

When the two armies are fighting, even the dominant side may be driven back because of the bravery of a certain enemy general.

On a vast battlefield with inconvenient communication, this small disturbance is not even enough to affect the overall situation.

But in the battle at Dongtiaoting, the opponent's phalanx was defeated, which directly affected the outcome of the entire war.

Because the location of this phalanx is so important! It is the key place for the decisive battle on the beach. If you occupy this place, you will have an advantageous location.

They were overwhelmed by Taishi Ci and were directly defeated. They retreated dozens of steps, giving up the most important geographical location of the stall to Taishi Ci's troops and giving Taishi Ci a foothold for his army.

Subsequent armies can land ashore in a steady stream and violently attack the enemy's lines in waves.

There is really a huge gap in the bravery of the soldiers on both sides.

One side is the elite of the state army and has been on the battlefield for many years. The other side is just a tribe that was hurriedly pulled out of the mud. They have been digging the ground to grow food. In their dreams, they could not imagine that there would be such a bloody and tragic scene in the world.

.

They tried their best to support the two formations, but finally could not withstand the third fierce attack from Taishi Ci's troops. Their morale collapsed and they fled one after another.

Sun Ce, who was watching the battle, shouted: "Cai! Ziyi conquered such a dangerous place in one battle. What else can stop me on the plains of Wu County?"

As Sun Ce said, the terrain in Wu County is flat, and there are very few key areas that can be used for defense.

The army attacked in five directions, and it only took three days to crush the defenders in Wucheng County one by one. They marched all the way with overwhelming momentum, recaptured every township and pavilion, and surrounded the rebellious powerful people in Zou's Wubao.

Han Yan, the magistrate of Wucheng County, followed Sun Ce in person and cautiously reported: "General, the person who rebelled this time is Zou. His money and copper are all from the old clan of the county. He has thousands of guests. He is a thief and has entered the chaos."

Officials govern. However, guests are never given corvee services before or after them. If county officials come to visit, they will hide themselves and be turned away by soldiers with sticks."

Thousands of guests!

This number was enough to attract even Sun Ce's attention. No wonder they dared to rebel.

What is this concept? Liang Xing, one of the generals in Guanzhong, once joined forces with Ma Chao to fight against Cao Cao. In the Battle of Weinan, he was the vanguard and led more than 5,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Xu Huang. His power also robbed more than 5,000 families.

.

With these more than 5,000 families, Liang Xing's most glorious moment was when he teamed up with Zhang Heng, Duan Xuan and other generals to defeat Li Jue's stubborn defense of Huangbaicheng, cut off Li Jue's head, and passed the news to the capital.

Li Jue was a person Sun Ce looked down on. But many people praised him endlessly. For example, the servant Liu Ai was the biggest tout, and even believed that Li Jue's military ability surpassed that of Sun Ce's father Sun Jian.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce glanced at Han Yan. Liang Xing, a strong general in Guanzhong, was completely defeated by Zheng Hun, a county magistrate, and was beaten to a pulp.

Compared with this, Han Yan, the county magistrate, is undoubtedly far behind!

Facing the rebellion of Zou and Qian, he was even beaten and had no choice but to defend the city. It was only when Sun Ce's army was overwhelming that he defeated the besieging army and he was saved.

However, Sun Ce did not reprimand him. After all, he could not force every county magistrate to be comparable to Zheng Hun, a capable minister with a long history.

If he can defend the city firmly and have his heart devoted to the county government instead of collaborating with powerful people, he is already worthy of being recruited into his army.

Before entering Wucheng County, Sun Ce thought that the entire Wucheng County had rebelled. Unexpectedly, in the hinterland of the rebellion, there was actually such a county king who was loyal to him.

Sun Ce put his hands behind his hands and looked at the mighty Wubao standing in the distance, and asked: "How many households are there in Wucheng County? Why are there more than 2,000 rebels captured by my army alone?"

This is the only number of soldiers captured on the battlefield!

Adding in the soldiers who were beheaded, killed, and fled, the scale would have to be doubled, and the number would have to exceed 5,000.

Earlier, there was an urgent military intelligence report saying that Zou Ta, Qian Tong and others each had thousands or tens of thousands of people, and they were gathering everywhere, but Sun Ce still didn't believe it.

But now, looking at the rebels gathered in Wubao in front of him and the impressive scale of this figure, Sun Ce really believed it.

And once you believe this situation, another problem comes before you.

How many households are there in Wucheng County?

The number of young men who rebelled alone exceeds 10,000. Adding in the young men of Han Yan who defended the city and the common people who were not involved in the war, there are more than 10,000 households!

But Han Yan, the king of Wucheng County, only serves as the county magistrate!

Moreover, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty granted Sun Ce's father the title of Marquis of Wucheng, he was definitely not the Marquis of Wanhu.

So Sun Ce had to look at Han Yan seriously. How many households are there in Wucheng County?

Why did two powerful families launch a rebellion, and the population size significantly exceeded the registered size.

If a dozen powerful families launched a rebellion, would Wucheng County alone have to mobilize an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people?

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Han Yan's forehead. Sun Lang's army attacking Wubao from the front was fierce and fierce, shouting for a fierce battle. Even if the powerful troops were guarding Wubao, they were like a lonely boat in the stormy sea, which could capsize at any time.

This forced Han Yan to think seriously. Facing Sun Lang's butcher knife and fighting openly and secretly with Sun Lang in the future, can the powerful men really have the upper hand?

After thinking quickly for a moment, he made a decision. The concealment of the population had been exposed to Sun Lang's own eyes, and there was no way to hide it.

He lowered his head and admitted frankly: "General, there are indeed a large number of hidden households among the powerful tribes. A county has a registered population of several thousand households, but there are tens of thousands of people living in the mountains and mountains within a county."

Sun Ce couldn't help but look sideways, this was too ironic.
