Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 22 One capture of Zhou Cang (thanks to book friend 1367149085 for the reward)
The archer draws the bow to the full, the arrow is shining coldly, just waiting for an order, and all the arrows can be fired.

"Let go!" Li Song waved his raised hand down and ordered softly. The archer let go of the bowstring, and the arrows that left the string drew arcs, like a rainstorm, and shot fiercely at the enemy.

The arrow fell through the body of the sentinel, pierced into the soil, pierced the door, the roof, and shot into the house through the window, and the archer continued to shoot with his bow and arrow.

"Yuan Shao, what's the matter?" Zhou Cang, who was resting in a wooden house, listened to the movement outside the house, and asked Pei Yuanshao who had quickly closed the door after he came in.

Through the gap in the door, Zhou Cang could still see the feather arrows whistling outside, so he knew that he was attacked by someone, but he didn't know who attacked him.

"Brother! We were ambushed by the officers and soldiers! Now there are arrows flying around everywhere outside, and the brothers are hiding in the house and dare not go out." Pei Yuanshao gasped.

"It's okay! Wait until the officer's arrows are finished shooting, and then go out and kill him without leaving a piece of armor." Zhou Cang, who had fought against the imperial court, naturally knew that the arrows that the army could carry were limited.

"Hmph! Then I must kill him to my heart's content." Pei Yuanshao said angrily.

"After the arrows are shot, get ready to charge!" Li Song said to Li Yuanba, Pei Yuanqing, Xiang Yu and others around him as he watched the bow and arrows were about to be shot.

"Yes!" Everyone responded and went down to get ready.

After the rain of arrows stopped, the shield players were in front, the spearmen were in the back, and a small number of light cavalry were on the flanks, charging towards the front in array.

The yellow turban thief who heard the whistling outside the house stopped, rushed out from inside immediately, and the two sides immediately fought together, one was a well-trained army, and the other was a battle-hardened yellow turban army.

The knife slashed across the body, blood spattered, the spear pierced into the body, pulled out, boiling hot blood spurted out, one person in front fell, and the one behind went up to fill the gap.

"My lord! This group of thieves has rich fighting experience, and they won't be able to deal with them in a while! Our loss is not small!" Pei Yuanqing, who was in blood-stained shirt, came to Li Song and said.

"Yuanqing! You also understand the ideal of capturing the thief first and capturing the king. As long as the leader of the thief is captured, these thieves will be self-defeating." Li Song turned to Pei Yuanqing and said.

"It's the lord! But which one is the thief?" Pei Yuanqing asked.

How do I know who is the leader of the Yellow Turban Army? Li Song slandered, but he said: "You have to observe this matter yourself. As long as you observe carefully, you will be able to find out who is the leader of the bandits. If they see that the situation is not good, they must It will break through, and the leader of the bandits will be in it."

"Also! You have to focus on the direction to Hanoi County. The bandit chief wants to break through, so he will definitely break out in this direction."

"Yes! I know how to do it!" Pei Yuanqing cupped his hands, turned and left.

On the other side, after Pei Yuanshao cut down a soldier, he retreated to Zhou Cang and said, "Brother! These officers and soldiers are different from what we have encountered in the past. They are hard stubble. If this continues, we will have to explain here sooner or later."

"Brother! Tell me what to do now!"

"It's indeed different from the ostentatious people we met before. Looking at their equipment, we can tell that they must be the elite of the state capital."

"The plan for now! It is to organize people and break through quickly. Maybe there is still a glimmer of life. Yuan Shao, you go pick some good players and break out in the direction of Hanoi County."

"If we can't break through, we have to confess here. As long as we leave Bingzhou and return to Woniu Mountain, we will be safe then." Zhou Cang said, cutting down a soldier who had come over with his knife.

"Okay! I'll go right away!" Pei Yuanshao replied, kicking a soldier rushing over in front of him, turning around and slashing a soldier who was behind him to the ground with a backhand, with blood splattered all over his body, he didn't care much , directly ran away to gather the manpower.

Soon Pei Yuanshao assembled a good team to protect Zhou Cang and head towards Hanoi County. This scene was naturally seen by Pei Yuanqing. Pei Yuanqing came to Li Yuanba and said, "Yuanba, come with me to capture the thief leader."

Li Yuanba smashed a yellow scarf soldier into the air with a hammer, and said with a grin, "Good!" He followed behind Pei Yuanqing, and chased Zhou Cang and others.

"Stop thieves!" Pei Yuanqing yelled, raised his hammer and killed Zhou Cang and the others.

"Not good! Brother! They're catching up!" Pei Yuanshao said in a panic when he looked back when he heard the shout.

"What are you panicking about? It's just a kid who came here! Look, I scared you." Zhou Cang chopped down a soldier in front, turned around and scolded Pei Yuanshao.

While speaking, Pei Yuanqing and Li Yuanba came in front of them, and Pei Yuanqing said: "Bold thief, put down your weapon quickly, and capture him without a fight!"

Pei Yuanshao pointed to Pei Yuanqing and Li Yuanba and said, "Little brat! If you want to catch your grandfather, first ask me about the knife in my hand, whether he will agree or not."

"Come on! Chop him into pieces!" He waved to the men beside him.

After Pei Yuanshao's subordinates got his order, they shouted and rushed forward. Li Yuanba took a step forward, waved the sledgehammer in his hand, and smashed the rushing ones to the ground one by one.

Seeing that his subordinates were vulnerable, Pei Yuanshao raised his saber angrily, and rushed up. When he came up, Li Yuanba slammed the saber at him.

"Yuanba, keep alive!" Pei Yuanqing shouted hastily.

When the knife and hammer collided, Li Yuanba did not move at all, but Pei Yuanshao was sent flying out by the shock. With Pei Yuanshao's low-level ability, he was naturally no match for such a strong general like Li Yuanba.

Pei Yuanshao fell heavily to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and before he could leave any last words, he swallowed his last breath unwillingly and left this world.

"Didn't I tell you to keep alive! Why did you beat him to death?" Pei Yuanqing stepped forward and grabbed Li Yuanba's hand, complaining a little.

"Oh! You didn't say it earlier, you didn't stop him for a while, and you beat him to death." Li Yuanba said with a smile.

"That! This must be kept alive, otherwise it will not be easy to explain to the master." Pei Yuanqing had nothing to do with Li Yuanba, so he had to tell him to be careful this time.

"Don't worry! Look at me!" After Li Yuanba finished speaking, he raised a hammer and threw it at Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang forced back the officers and soldiers in front of him. Hearing the whistling sound behind him, he turned around and saw that a hammer had come to him, and there was no way to avoid it.

With a bang, the sledgehammer fell to the ground. Zhou Cang fell to the ground a few steps after being smashed, and before he could get up, the spear was pressed against his throat, making him dare not resist at all. Zhou Cang was captured alive by the surrounding soldiers.

"Put him down and wait for disposal!" Pei Yuanqing stepped forward, picked up the sledgehammer on the ground, threw it to Li Yuanba, and said to the soldiers.
