Big Joe, Little Joe loves me

Chapter 293
Head of Guyang city.

As usual, Zhao Shu led a team to patrol above the female wall.

When they reached the gate tower, there was a sudden exclamation.

"someone is coming!"

Zhao Shu hurriedly looked around, only to see a man and a horse running from a distance below the city.

I saw that man riding a bay red horse, holding a long bow like a full moon, facing the city gate!
What does he want to do?
Zhao Shu was startled, and secretly drew a distance, at least 300 meters, such a long distance, riding a horse and shooting arrows?

"Whoosh!" Feathered arrow pierced the sky!
Zhao Shu's heart was beating wildly, the feathered arrow was as fast as a gust of wind, it almost flew past his head!
"Damn it, come here, shoot this thief for me!"

Zhao Shu was furious. He had never been so cowardly. He immediately ordered the guards at the top of the city to draw their bows and set arrows.

A small school said: "General Zhao, the enemy is too far away, and our bows and arrows don't have enough range!"

After Zhao Shu heard the words, he was even more angry, and said angrily: "A bunch of trash, bring bows and arrows, this general will shoot and kill this thief himself!"

As soon as the words fell, someone came up and handed the bow and arrow.

Zhao Shu draws his bow and nocks his arrows, looking fiercely at a man and a horse outside the city.

However, after aiming just now, Zhao Shu couldn't help but secretly estimated the distance. Could he hit it at such a long distance?
Zhao Shu didn't know what to do, but the arrow was on the string, so he had to shoot.

Everyone around is watching, don't lose face!

Zhao Shu shot out an arrow, and with all his strength, the feathered arrow pierced through the air, and the enemy did not dodge or avoid it!
"Okay, hit!"

Zhao Shu laughed out loud, but smiled, and the smile suddenly froze on his face.

When the feathered arrow shot straight past, the other party grabbed it casually, and the palm of his hand easily grabbed the feathered arrow in the air!

This was more than that, the other party grabbed the feathered arrow, opened the bow and set the arrow again, pulled the bowstring full, and shot out with a burst of arrows!

"Whoosh!" There was a sound of piercing through the air!

Sensing the breath of death, Zhao Shu quickly crouched down in fright, but was a little slower.

Feathered arrows flew towards Zhao Shu's helmet with one arrow!

Staring at the helmet pierced by an arrow in front of him, Zhao Shu sat down on the ground with lingering fear, and the surrounding soldiers were frightened, and many people gasped for it.

When Zhao Shu stood up again, one person and one rider outside the city had disappeared, as if they had never appeared before.

"General Zhao, there is something on the arrow!"

A small school spoke up.

Zhao Shu, with disheveled hair, looked back quickly, and saw a slender cylindrical object tied to the tail of the feather arrow nailed to the gate tower.

Zhao Shu said in a deep voice, "Take it off quickly!"

"Here!" Someone immediately pulled out the arrow and handed it to Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu removed the unknown object, opened it, and found a note inside.

The note was covered with small, delicate characters the size of a fly, and some of the handwriting even showed signs of wet ink.

This was just written!

Zhao Shu silently read the contents of the note, his face changed again and again, and his eyes flickered.

"General Zhao, what is written on it?"

Someone asked curiously.

Zhao Shu clenched his fists and said with a smile, "Tonight is the time to defeat the enemy!"

Everyone didn't understand, so Zhao Shu didn't explain too much, picked up the helmet, pulled out the feather arrow, and left the city gate with the guards in a hurry.

When Zhao Shu handed the note to Cheng Lian, the latter remained silent for a long while before asking: "Did you see clearly that the archer is really Tai Shici?"

Zhao Shu said seriously: "At that time, the distance was too far, and the last general didn't see the appearance of the archer clearly, but the archer who was able to shoot an arrow up the tower outside the range of our archers, looked at the generals under Liu Gan, Apart from that Tai Shici, the general can't think of another person!"

Cheng Lian nodded, turned to look at Wei Yue, and asked, "What do you think of this matter?"

At this time, Wei Yue also read the note, thought for a moment, and said: "As far as I know, Tai Shici was indeed Liu Yao's old department before. It makes sense, but the letter said that Liu Yao was murdered by Liu Gan, I doubt it."

Zhao Shu said: "General Wei's words are wrong. Who is the person who directly benefited from Liu Yao's death? It was Liu Gan! Once Liu Yao died, Liu Gan became the governor of Yangzhou at the age of a mere weak crown. Do you dare to say that there is no trick in it? I Look at Liu Yao's eight achievements are the victims of Liu Gan!"

Wei Yue shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Even if Liu Yao really died at the hands of Liu Gan, why didn't Tai Shici take revenge sooner or later, but why did he choose to take revenge at this time? In my opinion, there is definitely a fraud here!"

Zhao Shu snorted coldly and said, "So what if there is fraud? Liu Gan has only 3 people under his command. After the 3 people are divided into four parts, no more than 8000 soldiers will die in each place. Our army has [-] elite soldiers. With twenty thousand against eight thousand, is there any reason for invincibility?"

After a pause, he turned to Cheng Lian and said: "General Cheng, you and I both know that Gu Yang cannot be guarded for a long time, before Liu Gan's army arrives, this is a heaven-sent opportunity to defeat the enemy, once missed, the opportunity will never come again! "

Wei Yue said sternly: "Having said that, I still think it's inappropriate. Is Liu Gan the kind of person who is easy to deal with? It is the best policy to stick to it and wait for Marquis Wen's reinforcements!"

The two generals were arguing endlessly, Cheng Lian was silent, he was also struggling in his heart, and it was a strong struggle.

If Tai Shici really wants to avenge Liu Yao, then this time will undoubtedly be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, if Tai Shici's revenge is false and it is true to ask the king to enter the urn, then the consequences will be unimaginable.

How is it good?

Thinking about it, Cheng Lian's eyes suddenly fixed, and a bold idea gradually took shape in his mind.

"You don't have to say any more, this matter has already been decided!"

The corner of Cheng Lian's mouth raised slightly, and he blurted out.

As soon as this remark came out, Wei Yue and Zhao Shu couldn't help but glance at each other, neither of them knew what kind of medicine was sold in Cheng Lian's gourd.

That night, at three o'clock.

The east gate of Guyang City was wide open, and groups of heavily armed soldiers, armed with swords and torches, poured out of the gate like a tide.

With the illumination of the blazing flames, one can vaguely see that among the soldiers pouring out of Guyang City, the leading general is Cheng Lian!

"Quick, quicker!"

Sitting high on his horse, Cheng Lian commanded the team, and they poured out of the city gate in an orderly manner.

Among the hustle and bustle of the crowd, Wei Yue rode out, came to Cheng Lian, and said: "Old Cheng, I always feel that something is wrong. Liu Gan is by no means an ordinary person. I heard that the combat power of the Shenji Battalion is even more brave than the three armies. Although the army is twice as large as the enemy's, most of them are recruits, so if you really fight hard, you may not be able to get cheap!"

Zhao Shu was right next to Cheng Lian. Before Cheng Lian could speak, Zhao Shu said quickly, "General Wei, why bother to exalt others' morale and destroy his own prestige? In this battle, our army of 7000 defeated an army of [-]. Turning the strength of the palm, our army will retreat as long as the enemy army is destroyed, no matter how powerful the Shenji Battalion is, it is impossible to take care of the four sects at the same time, right?"

Wei Yue frowned and said, "Although that's the case, I still think Tai Shi Ci's matter is too strange!"

Cheng Lian said displeasedly: "Don't say too much, I've made up my mind. Regardless of whether Tai Shici surrendered tonight or not, the 7000-strong army outside the city would have been determined!"

"But old-fashioned..." Wei Yue still wanted to speak.

Cheng Lian waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, there must be a general in the city, you don't have to go to the night raid, you are in charge of defending the city tonight, if there is any accident, it will be dealt with by military law!"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Lian followed the army and rode away, leaving Wei Yue anxiously behind.
