Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Qu'a is a city on the edge of the Yangtze River system. The sailors trained by Wenpin are gathered near here.

In addition to Wenpin, there are Cao Hong and Li Dian, and more than 5000 sailors disguised as water thieves.

Their training ground is not here. Since the sailors are to be trained secretly, of course the more remote the better.

It's just that Wenpin received an urgent letter from Chen Yang, asking him to capture Qu'a and then take Kuaiji, even Wu Jun would not let it go.

This order must be a bit difficult, but it is not impossible to complete. They have made enough preparations.

"Zhongye, so far, we have rehabilitated more than 5000 refugees who lost their families due to floods and had to become bandits in the end."

Li Dian stepped forward from the rear of the army and said, "When will we capture Qu'a?"

That heavy rain caused the water volume of the river in the entire water area to rise, flooding many villages.

People who survived the flood naturally became refugees. In order to survive, they had to go to various cities to ask for help, and the only way out was to be bandits.

Wenpin and the others took advantage of this opportunity to recruit some refugees for their own use as soon as possible, and also strengthened the team by the way.

The current level of the river has decreased compared to the previous two days, but the current is still extremely fast.

"Zilian, is our ship ready?" Wenpin said.

"Everything is ready, but with our current strength, can we really capture Qu'a?" Cao Hong was still not very confident, and felt that Chen Yang's idea was a bit crazy.

"I believe in the general, since he asked us to attack, we will be able to attack. In addition, we only need to attack and plunder, and we don't need to defend the city."

Wenpin said again: "As soon as the Sun's reinforcements come, we should retreat immediately. There must be no mistakes. Our next place is Kuaiji!"

"Mancheng, you pick out some soldiers, disguise themselves as refugees, hide your weapons, and sneak into the city with those refugees, and do it at midnight tonight. After they succeed inside, light a torch on the tower to remind them."

He quickly made arrangements according to Chen Yang's instructions.

"Yes!"

Li Dian nodded.

After a while, some soldiers blended into the refugees with hidden weapons.

Officials in the city can't allow the refugees to make trouble outside, let alone watch the refugees starve to death, they resettle them as much as possible.

Regardless of whether they were real or fake refugees, they were all taken to the resettlement sites in the city at this moment.

Wen hired them, led the remaining soldiers, and waited outside the city, and it was night before they knew it.

Near midnight, they all appeared outside the city gate, and the whole city is very quiet now.

"Fire light, Zhongye, look quickly, there is a fire light on it."

Cao Hong pointed to the tower ahead, and he said excitedly.

"The plan has succeeded, let's get in!"

Wenpin gave an order, and all the sailors around him raised their weapons and rushed towards the city gate.

As soon as they approached, the originally closed city gate suddenly opened, and the soldiers inside had already started to move, killing the defenders.

"Enemy attack..."

The enemy finally reacted, and various warning voices sounded in the city, but it was too late.

Li Dian led people to kill on the city tower, and Wenpin and Cao Hong joined the sailors pretending to be refugees.

The soldiers guarding the city had just woken up from their sleep, and before they realized what had happened, they were dead.

After fighting for almost half an hour, the remaining defenders finally came to their senses, and the whole army gathered to stand in front of Wenpin and others.

Among the soldiers, a tall general walked out.

"Kill them all!" the general shouted.

Seeing that their general had finally arrived, the soldiers felt relieved, and their morale, which had been almost reduced, returned.

The general raised a big bow, bent the bow and set an arrow, drew it in a full circle, and aimed it in Cao Hong's direction and shot it out.

Whoosh!

There was a sharp piercing sound, and the sharp arrow came to Cao Hong's side in the blink of an eye.

Cao Hong swung his saber to block, and the arrow was sent flying by him.

He also glanced at the other party, and said angrily: "How dare you stab someone in the back, today I will kill you first!"

After all, he raised his knife and rushed towards the opponent.

However, before Cao Hong got close, the general pulled out another long arrow. His ability was so strong that he didn't even need to aim, the arrow had already locked Cao Hong.

With an urgent and fierce arrow, it struck Cao Hong again.

clang!

Cao Hong once again raised his knife to block the arrow tip, and he was also shocked to take two steps back.

"What a strong arrow!" Cao Hong exclaimed.

"Zi Lian, I'll help you!"

Li Dian picked up a steel crossbow and buckled it down, and the arrows came even more urgently.

The general's face changed slightly, and he dodged the crossbow arrow sideways.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the crossbow arrows, only to see that the body of a soldier behind him had been pierced by the crossbow arrows, and there was even a man behind the soldier who was also pierced into the chest by the arrow.

"What a strong crossbow!"

The general also praised, but when he was about to bend his bow and shoot, the men holding crossbow arrows in Cao's army counterattacked instantly, and the arrows from Liannu quickly harvested heads.

Cao Hong had already set his sights on the general, raised his knife and rushed to his side, and chopped it down with one blow.

Li Dian also put away his crossbow and followed Cao Hong with his halberd in hand.

No matter how good the general was at shooting, it was too late to bend his bow and set his arrows to resist.

With his right hand, he waved the bow frame to block Cao Hong's blade. This big bow was still made of pure iron, extremely hard and heavy, and he couldn't pull it apart without a certain amount of arm strength.

At the same time, he sideways dodged Li Dian's halberd, and drew out a sharp arrow with his left hand to stab Li Dian.

Even in close combat, his weapon is a bow and arrow, which can be used for long-range or close combat.

Cao Hong and Li Dian attacked the general, but the two sides still fought evenly.

Wenpin commanded his own sailors to fight back against Qu'a's defenders, but failed to participate in the battle between the three of them.

The more he fought, the more Cao Hong felt that the opponent was powerful, and he admired him very much in his heart.

"Who the hell are you? Under Cao Hong's sword, I never kill unknown people."

Cao Hong pierced through the opponent's defense with a single knife, and shouted: "I never thought that Sun Ce's subordinates would have a capable person like you. This time I have seen it."

"Hmph! You have to remember, the person who killed you today, Tai Shici!" The man shouted angrily.

At that time, Liu Yao, the guardian of Tai Shici, was defeated and fled to Yuzhang, fled to Wuhu, then stationed in Jing County, and finally surrendered to Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce left Jiangdong and went north to attack Lu'an, he sent Tai Shici to garrison Qu'e.

Qu'a was also the place where Tai Shici and Sun Ce met for the first time, so Tai Shici fought fiercely with the little overlord. After the fight, the two cherished each other.

Although Tai Shici was formidable, facing the pincer attack of Cao Hong and Li Dian, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"General, I will help you!"

Among the guarding soldiers, a lieutenant rushed out and was about to break into the fight between the three of them.

"Zhao Fan, be careful!"

Tai Shici suddenly shouted.
