Chapter 494
Tai Shici's horse was shot straight in the crotch, he neighed in pain, and he stood up. Fortunately, Tai Shici's riding skills were superb, and he was seen with his legs tightly clamping the horse's belly, his arms around the horse's neck, and his body firmly fixed on the saddle Even though the mount jumped violently again and again, it failed to throw him off the horse.

Just as Tai Shici was trying to subdue the mount, the arrows from the opposite side hit him like a gust of wind and rain, and the mount hit several more arrows in a row, and fell down with a bang.

Tai Shici's reaction was quick, and before his mount fell down, he swiftly threw himself to the side, and when he landed, he rolled to avoid the random arrows.Although he looked quite embarrassed, he was unharmed.

In contrast, left and right riders were not as lucky as Tai Shici. Among the 18 riders, two were hit by arrows and died on the spot. Several others were either severely injured or lost their horses, and more than one third lost their horses. combat power.

Han Guang and dozens of cronies under his command are all Qin and Hu Bing of Liangzhou. Compassionate to ride.

Tai Shici jumped up from the ground, and hurriedly glanced around. These riders were either villagers from Qingzhou, or they were well-raised athletes. Seeing the heavy casualties of the riders, Tai Shici was so angry that his eyes were tearing apart. He took off the The horned bow on the back took the arrow into the string, opened like a full moon, and shot towards Han Guang in the distance with hatred.

Han Guang knew Tai Shici's charitable shooting, and he was prepared for him, but Tai Shici's arrows were extremely sharp, beyond Han Guang's expectation, and he almost couldn't dodge. into the chest of a sent Qiang man.

Tai Shici saw that he missed the blow, and wanted to shoot again. At this time, the cavalry on the side hurriedly persuaded him: "Captain, now the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. If we waste it, it will be bad for ourselves. It is better to retreat for now." Without waiting for Tai Shici's response, he gave up his mount on his own, helped Tai Shici onto the horse, and he rode the same horse with another person.

Tai Shici was not a reckless and ignorant person, he gave Han Guang a bitter look, and pulled his horse away.

How could Han Guang allow Tai Shici to escape from him, and immediately pursued and killed Tai Shici.

Tai Shici didn't just run away, because that meant completely exposing his back to the enemy and allowing him to be slaughtered.

In particular, Han Guang and the others rode either Liangzhou big horses or Qiang breed horses, and they ran extremely fast.However, Tai Shici and his congregation rode mostly Guandong horses, the gap between the two was obvious, and they couldn't get rid of Han Guang and others at all.

It was Tai Shici who held the bow and arrow behind the palace, fought and retreated with the cavalry, circled from time to time, and even turned around to fight back. The two sides fought from the foot of Mount Lu to a distance from the camp.

After a fierce battle all the way, at this time the eighteen servants around Tai Shici were all dead, and only two remained.Tai Shici himself was not seriously injured, although he was hit by several arrows, fortunately his armor was excellent and strong, and he only suffered some flesh wounds.

As soon as the camp discovered that Tai Shici was being chased by the enemy, he immediately galloped out more than a hundred horsemen to rescue him, and hundreds of infantry followed behind.

Seeing Tai Shici attacking him aggressively after gathering reinforcements, Han Guang couldn't help but snorted coldly, turned around decisively and turned back.

Han Guang and the others were quick, Tai Shici would only be left with ashes even if he pursued desperately, and in the end he could only watch helplessly as the opponent fled.

On the way back, Tai Shici saw that all the cavalry died in battle without exception, all had no heads, obviously cut off by Han Guang as spoils of war.

The arrival of Tai Shici was not a trivial matter. Han Guang asked Ma Zhou to guard the camp and went to the Panshui camp in person to report the military situation to Liu Jing.

When Liu Jing learned that Han Guang met Tai Shici suddenly and almost captured him, he was surprised at first, then he exclaimed that it was a pity, clapped his hands and sighed: "Tai Shici is a famous general in Jiangdong, who has always been relied on by Sun Quan. Generals Zhang, this is the only person who can make me feel a little bit afraid, the others are nothing to discuss. Sun Ben and Sun Fu are only used as relatives, so that’s nothing. If Gongfu can capture and kill Tai Shici, Yuzhang can do it with his backhand."

Han Guang was also very regretful in his heart, but having said that, he had tried his best to attack Tai Shici with several times his troops, but he failed to take him down, and instead he shot and killed several athletes.

After listening to Han Guang's narration, Liu Jing said with emotion: "Tai Shici has always had a reputation for bravery. Back then, he saved Beihai, fought against Sun Ce, entered and exited the battlefield, and no one could control him. It really is not for nothing."

Liu Jing asked again: "Did Gongfu find out how many soldiers Tai Shici brought?"

Han Guang replied: "According to the news from Tanqi, Tai Shici's army strength is around three to four thousand, and at most it will not exceed 4000."

Liu Jingjing nodded, which was consistent with the number of troops controlled by Tai Shici.Now that Tai Shici has taken the bait, it's up to Sun Ben next.

At night, Tai Shici dispatched several dead soldiers to cross Liu Jing's defense line from multiple directions, and only one of them managed to enter Chaisang.

Xu Sheng received the visitors in person, and heard that Taishi Ci personally led thousands of troops to the south of Lushan Mountain to help. His heart was finally relieved because of the internal and external isolation of Chaisang for the past few days.

Liu Jing claimed that there were [-] people, even if they were split in half, there would be [-] troops. Tai Shici alone was obviously not enough insurance. Xu Sheng asked, "Has Sun Yuzhang sent reinforcements?"

As the magistrate of Chaisang County, Xu Sheng should have called Sun Ben, the prefect of Yuzhang, "the lord of the government". ".

The visitor replied: "Sun Yuzhang has sent [-] reinforcements, and they will arrive soon."

When Xu Sheng heard that Sun Ben only sent [-] reinforcements, he couldn't hide his disappointment on his face, but it was understandable for Sun Ben to do so. He always had to keep enough troops in case something happened.

Then Xu Sheng asked a few more questions, and then wrote a letter in his own hand, asking someone to bring it back to Tai Shici.

Not to mention how Tai Shici read the letter.

The next day, Han Guang rode more than a thousand people on foot to show off his power in front of Taishici's camp.

Although Tai Shici wished to eat his flesh and drink his blood, he suppressed his anger and raised the card of avoiding the battle, ignoring Han Guang's provocation.

Tai Shici knew very well in his heart that Han Guang had more than the few people in front of him, the reason why he only brought a thousand people to challenge was to lure him out of the camp, how could Tai Shici be fooled.

What's more, Tai Shici's task is to support Chaisang and prevent Chaisang from being captured by Liu Jing. Liu Jing has not yet attacked Chaisang, so he should stand still. Only when Liu Jing falls into the quagmire of Chaisang and cannot extricate himself can he really make a move when.At that time, Sun Quan's reinforcements must have arrived. By then, the encirclement will be on three sides and the waterways will attack simultaneously. Even if they cannot wipe out the Jingzhou army, it will be enough to repel them.

A few days later, Sun Ben's [-] reinforcements arrived at Taishici's camp. Taishici did not move rashly because of the doubled number of troops, and he still couldn't get out of the wall.

A few days later, the moat was leveled, all the equipment was ready, and the siege battle was imminent.
