Chapter 1212 Sun Ce's Assassination
A pure white horse leaped out of the grass, beating its four hooves on the cobbled river beach, making a rapid drumbeat like a battle drum.The knight on horseback didn't seem to be fast enough, he held the rein with one hand, and patted the horse's buttocks heavily with the other hand.The steed raised its head and neighed, speeding up a bit.In the river forest on the left side, several gray-white-winged birds fluttered, flapped their wings and circled several times, and flew towards the north.

At this time, it was already April, and Meng Xia's weather was everywhere in Jiangdong.The land of Dantu is adjacent to the Yangtze River, with lush forests and lush water and grass. Animals that survived the winter are all active. It is a good place for hunting.

The knight suddenly saw a deer shadow jumping in front of the left, he immediately tightened the reins to slow down the speed of the mount, then clamped the horse's belly tightly with both feet, took off the bow and arrow from his shoulder, and quickly put on a Green bamboo arrows.

But before the knight pulled the bowstring round, he stared fiercely, held the left arm of the bow and turned it lightly, and re-pointed the arrow at a small hill on the right.Three people appeared on the hillside. They came on foot, wearing shoulderless leather armor, holding a pair of wooden bows in their hands, and a ring knife pinned to their waists with a ring of mountain vines.

"Who is here?" the knight shouted, maintaining a full bow posture, and his mount stopped obediently, hoping to obtain a more stable shooting posture for his master.Those three people looked quite panicked, they looked at each other, finally a man who was a little older in the grade took a step forward, knelt and cupped his fists and said: "My lord, we are Han Dang Han Xiaowei's subordinates, Hunting deer here for army rations."

"Oh..." The knight drew a long voice, slightly lowered the bow and arrow in his hand, and then asked again: "Since you are hunting deer, why are you wearing armor?"

"This place is close to Sheyang, and Chen Deng's soldiers often come out to collect firewood, so Captain Han told us to wear armor when we go out, just in case of accidents."

The relationship between the Sun family in Jiangdong and the Cao family in Yanzhou seems to have been good. A few days ago, Cao Zhang, the son of Cao Cao, married the daughter of Sun Ben of the Sun family, and Sun Ce is now recommended by Cao Cao as the rebellious general and Wuhou.But at this moment, the knight on the white horse—that is, Sun Ce, was very satisfied with their answers.

He even glanced around the three of them: "Han Dang has always been rigorous in governing the army and meticulous in every detail. Now that I see it, it's really good-then what did you gain today?"

Hearing this question, the expressions of the three of them became a little more relaxed.The leader got up and scratched his head, and said shamelessly: "It's a pity that I was unlucky, and I haven't hunted anything big so far."

"You can't be impatient when hunting. If you move, the prey will also move. Who can strike first..." Before the word "person" could be said, the bamboo arrow in Sun Ce's hand suddenly shot out, piercing the forehead of the leading man in an instant, and the man stared at him. His eyes widened, and he fell to the ground immediately.

The remaining two hurriedly picked up their wooden bows and shot towards Sun Ce.It's a pity that Sun Ce was faster than them. He took the arrow from the quiver, set the bow, and shot it all in one go.However, the sacrifice of the two companions finally bought enough time for the third person, and with a flick of the bowstring, the sharp arrow flew straight towards Sun Ce.Sun Ce didn't have time to dodge, so he swung the hard bow in front of his body and pushed the arrow away.

"Who the hell are you?" Sun Ce shouted on the horse. His expression was not so much anger as excitement. It was a kind of bloodthirsty excitement, like a tiger seeing a weak prey.

"Dog thief! Do you still remember Xu Gong who was hanged by you?" The third man yelled, while nodding the second arrow.Sun Ce was a little surprised when he heard this name: "Are you his disciples?"

"That's right! Today I'm going to avenge my lord!" The man shot another arrow.It's a pity that the arrow was still in vain, and was easily dismissed by Sun Ce.His reaction speed and arm strength were astonishing, and this wooden bow, which was only a few stones in length, could not pose a threat to him at all.

"That old thing has also raised a few obedient dead soldiers."

Sun Ce licked his lips, showing bloodthirsty excitement, but his smile suddenly froze.His right ear caught a slight vibration of the bowstring. This sound did not come from the front, but from the dense forest beside him.Sun Ce dismounted without hesitation.At the same time, a sharp arrow pierced through the air and shot directly through the horse's head.Before the horse could even whine, it fell to the ground.Sun Ce avoided the heavy body of the horse, and quickly lowered his body.

The bow and arrow that shot through the horse's head was two feet three inches long, with a thick shaft and a layer of dark gray paint.Sun Ce knew that the size of a large bow capable of firing such arrows was at least twenty shi, and one person could not operate it. When shooting an arrow, the bow must be fixed in advance, and then the bowstring must be tightened slowly—in other words, he and Xu Gong The meeting of the doormen was not accidental, but a premeditated ambush.Death traps have been set up by unknown enemies around here, just waiting for him to come in.At this time, I don't know how many big bows have been aimed at this small area.

Four more big arrows flew out from the forest, sealing Sun Ce's escape direction tightly.With a diving leap, Sun Ce managed to avoid this fierce killing move with the help of the huge body of the horse, but he was also forced to an open area with no cover.

At this moment, he heard a slight metallic clang sounding in his direction from the woods.Seeing that Sun Ce was on the verge of death, the man in front of him couldn't help showing a crazy look on his face: "Sun Ce, today is your death day!"

Sun Ce smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth. Looking at the man who was not afraid of death, he pulled out the ring-sword at his waist, stepped forward, squatted and slashed, and the crazy expression on the man's face froze on his face.Looking down, only Sun Ce's eyes were still bloodthirsty, looking at his already torn chest and abdomen, and all the viscera and lungs flowed out.

"No, it's impossible..." The man didn't close his eyes before he died. He looked back at the place in the distance, wondering why there was no bow and crossbow shot there.

"Don't wait, those dead soldiers have already been killed by my men." Sun Ce bared his teeth, more like a tiger after foraging: "Also, don't pretend to be General Han Dang's trilogy, his soldiers , who never wore armor..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were successive screams in the grass in the distance.Zhou Yu was dressed in brocade clothes, holding a bloody head, and walked towards Sun Ce with a gloomy expression: "Bo Fu, it is too dangerous for you to use your body as bait this time. I said..."

Sun Ce quickly waved his hand, and Zhou Yu taught him not once or twice.Every time it is the principle of being a commander-in-chief and a rich man not sitting in danger, Sun Ce's ears can hear the cocoon.At this time, the ground trembled slightly, and the sound of countless horseshoes came from a distance, as if a large group of people were approaching, "General Sun!" and "My Lord!" shouted one after another.

Sun Ce looked at the soldiers and horses who were late coming, and then at Zhou Yu's soldiers who were slowly gathering around, all carrying the heads of dead soldiers, shook his head and said, "Zhongmou never catches up with the best time to do things. Not even this time..."

As soon as he said this, Sun Ce was shocked.He suddenly turned his head and looked at the forest on the right that he had been ignoring all this time, a wordless killing momentum suddenly surged there, and the heavy pressure instantly paralyzed Sun Ce's body: "No, they still have backup! ..."

This time the enemy made an attack, choosing the moment when Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were most relaxed.A crossbow arrow shot out from the woods quickly, passed directly through Sun Ce's right cheek, knocked away a few molars, then pierced into the mouth, and pierced hard into the other side, causing blood to splatter all over.

Sun Ce let out a scream and swayed a few times, revealing a bigger flaw.At this moment, the second crossbow arrow flew out from another angle, and Zhou Yu, who was beside Sun Ce, was shocked and jumped on Sun Ce.The crossbow pierced hard into Zhou Yu's shoulder blades, and the force caused both of them to fly back a few steps.

"Dog thief! Death!!" The soldiers and horses coming from a distance suddenly saw such a change, and Sun Quan, the leader, was furious, and immediately rushed into the forest with his soldiers and horses.

As for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who fell to the ground, their faces were pale with blood dripping from the corners of their mouths.And the last sentence Sun Ce passed out was murmured to the sky: "Da Qiao, you really predicted this disaster. Not getting you in this life is really the regret of my life, Sun Ce!"
