The morale of the army was very low.

Han Xuan saw this, not only because Jiangdong's army was powerful, but also because this was Changsha. There was probably no place in the world where people were as awe-inspiring to the Sun family as the people in Changsha.

Not only the soldiers, Han Xuan also had no fear in his heart.

Since Sun Ce sent troops to Jiangdong, he has been invincible. In just one year, he defeated the princes of Jiangdong. In the Battle of Jiangxia, the entire Jingzhou Army lost half of its troops.

Who can not be afraid?

But Han Xuan was not willing to surrender just because of a little fear and leave his fate to Jiang Dongjun's disposal.

For this reason, Han Xuan would take his two commanders Huang Zhong and Han Hao to patrol the city defense every day to prevent some bad rumors from being spread among the soldiers and affecting morale.

At noon that day, he received a report from the soldiers that another 3,000 Jiangdong troops had entered Ji Shu's camp. Han Xuan was still wondering why Ji Shu was besieging him but not attacking, but when he heard the news, he suddenly realized.

The army that Qianqing arrived earlier was not yet a troop, Ji Shu has been waiting for the follow-up army!

I originally thought that Sun Ce personally led the navy to attack Hanjin Port, and he must have wanted to take Xiangyang directly. But then I heard that something happened again in Xinye, and the lord hurriedly mobilized the army to Xinye to rescue. But now it seems that Jingnan is the only one

Jiangdong Army’s goal!

As soon as he thought about this, Han Xuan couldn't sit still anymore, and ran to the top of the city to inspect it himself.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you are shocked. A team of 3,000 people walks out of Ji Shu's military camp and heads straight for Changsha City.

This immediately caused a panic on the top of the city. Under Han Xuan's order, the soldiers walked up to the top of the city one after another to prepare for battle. Fortunately, Jiangdong Army did not seem to have any intention of attacking the city immediately, and just stopped five or six hundred steps away.

place to watch.

I saw a group of people walking out of the enemy army and climbing up a nearby hill. Among them was a man who looked like a scholar.

Han Xuan's heart moved. He expected that this was Sun Ce's military advisor Ji Shu, the commander in chief of this expedition to Changsha. He hurriedly asked the person next to him.

"Han Sheng, can you shoot that man?"

The man in question was a burly middle-aged man with a sharp look in his eyes, a neat beard and a mature and steady aura about him. This man was Huang Zhong, Han Xuan's most trusted subordinate.

.

Two years ago, Huang Zhong took his frail and sick son around to seek medical treatment. As a result, Huang Zhong's son died of serious illness after arriving in Changsha. Seeing Huang Zhong's amazing archery skills, Han Xuan recruited him under his command, and Huang Zhong also

Han Xuan has never been disappointed.

"Young general, give it a try."

Huang Zhong nodded and took out the unicorn bow he always carried with him.

This bow is made of fine mulberry wood, rhinoceros horn, and tiger sinew. It cannot be pulled open without the strength of a thousand pounds. Huang Zhong is the only one in Jingnan who can use this bow. Han Xuan even doubts that the entire Jingzhou can use this bow.

There is only this one person.

At a distance of 500 steps, a person is like a small dot and can only vaguely see an outline.

As the long arrow was cocked, Huang Zhong's eyes became particularly focused, and the bowstring gradually stretched into a full moon.

Bang!

The moment Huang Zhong let go of his hand, everyone around him could feel the bow string hitting the air, forming a brief but fierce strong wind, whistling past their faces.

The long arrow turned into a shooting star, and the distance of 500 steps was reached in an instant.

The sound of the arrow tearing through the air was sharp and harsh, but it only lasted for a short moment.

Bang!

A moment later there was the sound of a long arrow piercing the shield.

However, there was no sound of the shield being broken at the top of the Changsha city. Everyone just saw Huang Zhong shoot out an arrow. There was chaos on the other side, and the shield soldiers stepped forward to block their sight. After a while, the shield soldiers retreated to the rear in a panic, protecting someone.

From this, everyone knew that it had been shot.

"good!"

Although I don't know what the result will be, this undoubtedly gave Jiangdong's army a disincentive. The dull atmosphere on the top of the city changed, and the soldiers cheered.

Han Xuan was overjoyed and patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder and praised him.

"Han Sheng is a great shooter. I think that Ji Shu would be frightened even if he didn't die. I will hold a small banquet in the mansion tonight to celebrate Han Sheng's success!"

Celebrating?

Huang Zhong didn't react at once. He didn't know the result of this arrow yet, and the battle wasn't over yet. Why was he celebrating?

Huang Zhong quickly declined, but Han Xuan was determined to publicize the matter in order to boost the morale of the army, so no matter what Huang Zhong said, he could not shirk it.

······

That night, Han Xuan indeed held a banquet in the prefect's mansion to celebrate his achievements. Except for one camp commander from each gate who stayed behind, all the other officers and generals above the camp were invited to the banquet.

At this time, there was a general sitting alone on the tower of the north gate in a daze. This was Wei Yan, the commander under Huang Zhong.

Wei Yan has a powerful figure and cannot be said to be handsome, but his ordinary face reveals a sense of perseverance, and he is very dull and taciturn.

At this time, Wei Yan was only in his early twenties. He could be said to have a bright future if he could achieve this position of command, but he was not very popular in the eyes of everyone.

As for the reason, for example, tonight he refused many times and made excuses not to attend Han Xuan's celebration party.

Outside the city, insects chirped and frogs croaked, the trees cast shadows, the moon hung high, and there was no one in silence.

When the lanterns were first lit up in the city, it was bustling, full of laughter and lively.

However, Wei Yan would rather hide at the top of the city and enjoy the night breeze than go drinking and having fun with them. In the eyes of everyone, Wei Yan was a lone wolf. If it weren't for his extraordinary strength, everyone would really not want to pay attention to him.

"Why are you hiding here and not drinking with them?"

A jug was placed on the wall in front of Wei Yan. Wei Yan turned around and saw that it was his superior Huang Zhong. However, he did not show any special respect for Huang Zhong. He just grabbed the jug and took a sip.

"I like quietness, and it's very good here. I'm not used to places that are too busy."

"The other generals always complain that you don't drink with them, saying that you are not a brother enough."

You should also take a look at the atmosphere occasionally.

Huang Zhong smiled bitterly, he was very optimistic about Wei Yan.

It can be said that except for bow and arrow, Wei Yan is as good as him in other abilities, but Wei Yan's character...

After sighing, Huang Zhong felt that he needed to give Wei Yan more attention.

Unexpectedly, after Wei Yan heard Huang Zhong's words, he looked at Huang Zhong strangely and said.

"Wine is good when you drink it with brothers. Do they think they can become brothers after drinking a glass of wine?"

"If you don't drink with him, you won't be brothers! Why should I act with such a hypocritical person?"

Unable to defeat him!

Huang Zhong shook his head. He was someone who had been here before, and although some social interactions were fake, they were still of some use.

"If you continue like this, it will affect your future future."

Wei Yan turned his head to look at the night scene outside the city, and said after a long silence.
