Chapter 675 (1/2)
Not only the romance of the Three Kingdoms, but also the official history of the annals of the Three Kingdoms recorded that the general was ”skillful in bow and horse”. When describing Tai Shici's archery skills, he used a large description to describe how taishici broke through the encirclement of Beihai City, and there was no empty arrow.
Before Li Shu raised his troops to revolt, he deliberately used an excuse to separate Cheng Pu and Tai Shici from each other. Therefore, when the two men reacted, they had less than 3000 soldiers and horses in their hands, while Li Shu had 5000 troops in the city. The siege of the city has always been a battle with more forces than the siege side, and few of them attack the fortified city with a small number of troops.
After a discussion with Cheng Pu, most of the soldiers under the command of Cheng PU were stationed outside the city. He himself took only a hundred horses to challenge him outside the city of Shuxian.
When the rebels in Shu County saw that Tai Shici was so bold, they naturally became angry and fired at him one after another. As a result, Tai Shici avoided one by one. Holding the long bow in his hand, he shot down 45 people in a row. Moreover, he was quick-sighted and able to receive arrows with his hands. Therefore, although there were many archers in the city, he could not help him.
Tai Shici left the camp on his own for several days. Whenever he saw anyone who dared to show up on the top of the city, he would shoot without saying a word. In the past three days, more than 40 people had been shot down by him. Therefore, the Lujiang rebels were ”pale at Taishi” and did not dare to show up.
Tai Shici took more than 100 riders around the walls of Shuxian County for a while. However, no one dared to show up again. He had to swear and then led more than 100 riders back to the camp.
”Hoo!” Tai Shici took off his helmet and rushed into the camp with the heat from his head.
”Ziyi, what's the matter?”
Sitting on the throne is an old general with black and white hair, with an iron ridged snake spear beside him. He is one of Sun Jian's four generals, Cheng Pu, whose name is demou.
”General Cheng, these rebels in the city are really cowardly!”
Tai Shici sat down with his helmet in his arms and said coldly, ”a certain cavalry led around the city yelling and scolding, but no one in the city dared to raise his head. It was not easy for someone to show his head and was shot dead by an arrow. The rest of the people turned into a turtle with a shrinking head.”
”It is a pity that our army is short of troops, otherwise we will attack the city directly!” Tai Shici believed from the channel: ”a wish for the first Deng, capture and kill Li Shu dog thief.”
Cheng Pu smiles: ”Ziyi is high spirited, which is a good thing, but don't worry. Someone has sent someone to inform the Lord. It's sure that the reinforcements will arrive soon.”
Lujiang County is located in the north of the Yangtze River. The news is not as convenient as that of Wujun in the middle. Therefore, he did not know about the rebellion of Shanyue and the killing of Sun Yi.
Tai Shici's face was slightly dim: ”Bo Fu Gong... Alas!”
If Zhou Yu is the Jiangdong general sun CE attaches great importance to, then taishici must be closely behind Zhou Yu. Sun CE and Tai Shici can be described as a typical example of the relationship between monarchs and ministers. They are both monarchs and ministers as well as friends. After hearing that sun CE died of illness, Tai Shici was silent for a long time.
Cheng Pu comforted him by saying, ”Ziyi, Duke Bofu has passed away. The most important thing now is to protect the Jiangdong foundation left by him.”
Tai Shici nodded, clenched his fist and said, ”well, if we catch Li Shu, we must use his head to commemorate Bo Fu Gong.”
At this time, a sound of foot steps sounded. Cheng Pu and Tai Shici turned their heads and looked. A dusty Jiangdong army scout rushed in.
”My subordinate Zhang Feng, see the old general of the process and Taishi Xiaowei.”
Cheng Pu asked, ”what are you doing here? Is it that our Jiangdong reinforcements have arrived?”
