The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 710 709 Archer

Pound won the battle in front of Jiameng Pass beautifully and wonderfully. The morale of the Han army was high, which also gave Pound's name some influence in the Sichuan army.

However, Pang De did not leave, but continued to call for battle before the pass, and called Zhang Fei to fight.

Zhang Fei saw with his own eyes how powerful Pang De was at Jiameng Pass, but after seeing Pound and Li Yan wrestling for several rounds, it didn't drag him down at all, and instead made Pound more and more courageous as he fought. .

However, Zhang Fei felt a little uncomfortable because of yesterday's battle, and his arms couldn't exert any strength at all. If he tried to fight, he might be defeated by Pound.

At this critical moment, Zhang Fei accepted Huang Quan's suggestion and prepared to resort to outsmarting.

Zhang Fei did not give any response to Pound's provocation. He simply ignored what was going on outside the window and forbade anyone to fight. If you want to get close to Jiameng Pass, then the archers stationed on the wall of Jiameng Pass will give the enemy a taste of counterattack.

Li Yan was injured and was rescued by Peng Tuo. Zhang Fei hurried down the city wall and saw Li Yan whose abdomen was bleeding profusely. "

At this time, Li Yan had already been helped off the horse by Peng Tuo, and he lay flat on the ground at the gate of the city. Peng Tuo pressed his hands on Li Yan's injured abdomen, trying to stop Li Yan from donating blood, but The blood donation was like spring water, gushing out continuously, and Peng Tuo's hands were covered with scarlet blood.

Zhang Fei came over, saw Li Yan's injury, and asked with concern: "General Li, I made you suffer!"

Li Yan said: "My lord, there is no need to worry too much. The general just suffered a little skin trauma, and he will be fine after a few days of recuperation. However, the general still wants to thank the lord. At the critical moment, he sent Captain Peng to rescue me. Otherwise, I will be fine." He has already died under Pound's knife."

"Don't say such things, there is no such thing as death, you are just careless, and we all underestimated Pound's ability. We never thought that there would be such a powerful person under Ma Chao's men. I have already let Someone went to call the military doctor, and Peng Tuo will send you back to rest soon, so you can recuperate well, as for this side, you don't have to worry about it."

Li Yan sighed softly, and said: "The last general is ashamed of the lord, and wanted to take Pound's head and present it to the lord, but he didn't want to be inferior to others, and instead be hurt by Pang De, and the lord was so worried... ..."

Zhang Fei calmed down Li Yan's emotions again, and asked Peng Tuo and the soldiers to send Li Yan back to rest, and let the military doctor treat Li Yan's injuries properly.

After Li Yan was carried away, all Zhang Fei could hear were the yelling and cursing of the Han army outside the city, one after another. He noticed that some of the soldiers under his command had a kind of anger on their faces, and they rushed out to fight the enemy. The urge to fight to the death.

Zhang Fei suddenly turned around and said to a soldier who was following him: "Your archery skills are good. Today I will let you show me your skills and shoot a book of arrows for the enemy."

The soldier standing behind Zhang Fei was none other than Zhang Ni. This was a young man Zhang Fei accidentally found in the army, and he was very good at archery. Because his surname was the same as Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei took this man Take him by his side and serve as his personal soldier.

Zhang Fei asked someone to bring pen and ink, wrote a letter himself, and asked Zhang Ni to tie it to the hair clipper and shoot it into the enemy camp.

Zhang Ni held the arrow book and was about to leave when Zhang Fei suddenly grabbed him again and told him, "Pang De is the loudest outside. Our army has just been defeated for a while, and the enemy's arrogance is high. This arrow must be shot!" Let the enemy know that there is no one in our army."

"I understand!" Zhang Ni nodded, took the arrow book, and went directly to the tower.

On the city wall, the soldiers were at war, each soldier's eyes were full of anger, glaring at the enemy in front of the pass.

Zhang Ni came to the city wall and took down a big bow from behind his back. His eyes were like meteors and his hands were like ape's arms. As soon as the bowstring was pulled away, the arrow with the letter rested on the bowstring. With a sound, the arrow pierced the sky, left the string, and shot directly at Pound who was showing off his might outside the city.

At this moment, because Pang De won a battle just now, he was very happy in his heart. He thought that there would be a master in the Sichuan army to fight, but he didn't expect that the one who came out to fight was a mediocre person. If he didn't break out suddenly One person messed up his situation, Li Yan had already died under his knife, and his head had already been chopped off.

The soldiers behind Pound were still shouting. Pound rode on a tall horse and kept pacing on the spot. He was in a good mood and kept watching every move on the wall of Jiameng Pass.When he saw a person coming to the city wall, he drew his bow and arrow and shot an arrow past him, but he didn't care at all.

The range of the bows and crossbows used in the general army is only seventy or eighty steps. Even if there is an archer who can shoot a hundred steps, it is absolutely impossible for the arrow to hit him.You know, the position where he is standing is a hundred steps away from the city wall of Jiameng Pass, about 120 steps away, far beyond the range of bows and arrows, and this is also a relatively safe area.

Therefore, Pound didn't care about the arrow that the man shot, because the arrow would definitely not fly to him, and would fall to the ground at most in eighty or ninety steps.

However, that arrow was far beyond Pound's imagination. It was as fast as lightning, extremely fast, and had sufficient stamina. When it was eighty steps away from the city wall, it still did not show the disadvantage of being at the end of its strength. Continue to fly towards the front.

Pound frowned, his eyes were fixed on the flying arrow, he estimated the range of the arrow, and he said in his heart: "Ninety steps...one hundred steps..."

God!

When the arrow reached a hundred steps away from the city wall of Jiameng Pass, Pang De actually exclaimed in his heart. In his eyes, the arrow still had no sign of decadence, and it kept moving forward. Jump up, only twenty steps away from where he was.

Pound's eyes widened, and he kept staring closely at the arrow. He wanted to see how far the arrow could shoot.

When the arrow reached 110 steps away, Pound's whole expression became tense, and he tightened the big knife in his hand, making him aware of an approaching danger, and the arrow was still heading towards the arrow. He rushed forward without any sign of weakening, and the sharp arrow pointed directly at Pound's face.

Oops!

It wasn't until this moment that Pound realized that the arrow was aimed at him at all, and the arrow flew towards Pound's face with the sound of piercing through the air.

Seeing that Pound was about to be shot by the arrow, suddenly a cold light flashed in front of Pound, and the big knife held tightly in Pound's hand directly split the arrow into two pieces, and instantly fell to the ground.

Before Pound could be happy, a cold light appeared in his eyes again. What he never imagined in his dreams was that behind the arrow he had just split into two pieces, there was an arrow that was different from the arrow just now. He kept his balance all the time and moved on a parallel line, making him mistakenly think that only one arrow was coming.

The speed of the second arrow was a little faster than the first arrow, and its strength was much stronger. At this time, the sword in Pound's hand could no longer be retracted. The fierce force made him unable to dodge, he could only watch the arrow fly towards him.

"Tuk!"

The arrow directly hit the iron helmet on top of Pound's head, and the helmet on the helmet was shot off by an arrow, but the arrow was solid and horizontal on Pound's helmet, and when the huge force hit, he was shocked. Pound's head was also dizzy for a while, and he almost fell off the horse.

Pang De looked at the city wall of Jiameng Pass in shock, but he could no longer find the archer just now. This man had superb archery skills and extraordinary arm strength, and the range of the big bow he used was left behind by Pound. was deeply impressed.

However, what surprised Pound was that this person could have shot himself to death with an arrow, but he didn't. Why?
At this time, Pound's subordinates came over suddenly, pointed at Pound's helmet and said, "General, there is a letter on your head!"

Pound immediately took off his helmet, and at the same time rode his horse back ten or twenty steps. Only now did he feel that the position he was standing in was not very safe.Thinking back to the thrilling scene just now, he still has some lingering fears. It turns out that there is such a sharp archer in the Sichuan army.

Pound took off the letter on the helmet, thinking that the man didn't shoot him to death, was it because of this letter?
On the letter was Ma Chao's personal letter, Pound immediately understood what he had said without saying a word, and he stopped calling for battle before the pass, and directly withdrew his troops back to the camp, lest the enemy's side change their minds. The sharp archer secretly released a cold arrow, and his life was in danger.

Pang De returned to the camp with the letter and handed it to Ma Chao himself.

After Ma Chao opened the letter and read it, his brows frowned, not knowing that Zhang Fei was going to mess with the upper class.

Because, Zhang Fei said in the letter that he wanted to invite Ma Chao to meet, and only the two of them would meet. They were not allowed to bring any entourage. The time and place were all determined by Ma Chao. He wanted to discuss important matters with Ma Chao.As for the major event, Zhang Fei didn't say, and Ma Chao couldn't possibly know, but Zhang Fei's letter was very respectful, saying that it was related to Ma Chao's future, and hoped that Ma Chao would consider it carefully.

Ma Chao thought about it, and finally only came up with one idea, that is, could it be that Zhang Fei was afraid of him and wanted to surrender to him?But after thinking about it, I felt something was wrong.Because Pang De told Ma Chao everything he encountered before the pass today, including the matter of the sharp archer.As a result, Ma Chao felt that the matter was very strange, and he really wanted to find out what Zhang Fei's purpose in meeting him was.

So, after much deliberation, Ma Chao finally agreed to Zhang Fei's request, and immediately wrote a reply letter, agreeing to meet at Jiameng next night.
