C14 Shift from Danger to Safety
There was an idiom called "Ji Chang learned how to shoot".
Ji Chang wanted to learn shooting techniques, so he became the apprentice of a godly archer. His master asked him to first treat lice as the size of wheels, so that he could train his eyesight.
All godly archers had amazing eyesight.
Taishi Ci's eyes were cold and his gaze was locked onto the Head of the Yellow Ribbon Bastard tightly.
"Good scoundrel, you've hurt me with your hidden arrow, take one of my arrows!"
What kind of person was Taishi Ci? In the entire Han Dynasty, there were very few Archer s who were on par with him, but they were almost shot secretly by a nameless guard, so naturally, they were unable to contain their anger.
The long spear was hung on the victory hook, Taishi Ci picked up his three stone bow, drew his bow and aimed at the head of the Yellow Ribbon Bastard.
Seeing that Taishi Ci was aiming at him, Yellow Ribbon Bastard Head suddenly felt a sense of incomparable danger, as if his entire body was locked down and unable to escape.
"Whiz!"
This arrow came fast! The arrow pierced through the air and flew towards his throat. He had some skill in archery, so he barely managed to twist his body and escaped Taishi Ci's arrow. However, the arrow shot into his shoulder.
"Ugh!"
The power behind this arrow was heavy, it drilled through the Yellow Ribbon Bastard Head's shoulder blade, and a sharp pain immediately struck him. He groaned in pain. He bit his lower lip and staggered a few steps.
Ta ta ta ta!
After the arrow was shot, Taishi Ci did not hold back at all. He immediately changed his spear and urged his horse forward. The sound of the horse's hooves was very powerful.
The head of the Yellow Ribbon Bastard raised his head and saw a gigantic black shadow approaching him. It was Taishi Ci, who had become one with his men. The tip of his long spear quickly enlarged and filled his eyes.
"Ah!
Pfft!
The long spear pierced into Taishi Ci's chest. Taishi Ci held the long spear with both of his hands and used all his strength to lift him up in the air. The war horse under him could not help but let out a long hiss as he stood up.
"Die!"
Taishi Ci roared, he used his full strength, and like splitting heaven and earth, he forcefully lashed down the Yellow Ribbon Bastard Head's body, as if he was dancing on a windmill. Under the huge power of the men, the Head of the Yellow Ribbon Bastard's body was like a thin piece of paper, splitting apart with a "chi" sound.
"Huh?"
"Marshal..." "Dead!"
When the remaining Yellow Ribbon Bastard saw this scene, they could not believe it. On the other hand, Xiao Yan and the two hundred private soldiers had their morale boosted.
"As a man should be." Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"Zhongce wants to help Hsiang Yuh?" Hsu Shen, who was on the side, spoke up.
"Although this person is brave, he can be a valiant general. Zhongce's body is frail, and he doesn't know martial arts. He can only learn military skills and be a commander."
Although Hsu Shen's family was very impressed by Taishi Ci's bravery, but of course, they couldn't let their cheap disciple charge forward to kill them.
"Master Xu wishes to teach me military tactics?" Xiao Yan said in surprise. Although Hsu Shen mainly studied scriptures, the scholars in Han Dynasty were always people who had both civil and martial skills. They could control the army and settle the citizens when they dismounted from their horses.
For example, one of the three centurions who had pacified the imperial court. Loo Zhi, Lu Ziqian, was a great scholar. Bai General Ma, Gongsuen Zan, and Liu Bei, the formidable Liu Bei, had both been his disciples before.
Hsu Shen was also well versed in military strategy, but now that he was old and weak, he was afraid that he would have to fight to the death with Xiao Yan, Liu Tie, and the other thugs.
Hsu Shen was very satisfied with the fact that Xiao Yan risked his life to protect him. It seemed that although this disciple was a bit sly, he was very respectful to his teacher.
Taishi Ci raised his gun and shouted, "Surround all these thieves and don't let even one of them get away!"
"Here!"
The two hundred private soldiers answered in unison. They split into two groups and surrounded the remaining bandits from both sides.
"Throw away your weapons and kneel down!"
The thirty odd Archer s brandished their bows and aimed their arrows at the thieves, while in front of the Archer, there were two teams of Longspear. They raised their spears horizontally, berating them loudly.
Originally, there were more than 20 people who attacked Xiao Yan's group along the way. After a series of battles, especially with Taishi Ci's death, only 6 thieves were surrounded. They were surrounded by pikes and bows, and there was no way out.
It was funny that the people killed by the two hundred private soldiers were not as many as Taishi Ci. After all, they were inexperienced newbies. Today was the first battle, so it would be much better in the future.
"Why aren't you surrendering? Do you want to die under my blade?" Seeing that the Yellow Ribbon Bastard was still stubbornly resisting, Xiao Yan could not help but shout.
"What should we do?"
"How about we surrender? I don't want to die …"
The remaining six bandits discussed in low voices and came to a conclusion. Ding! Ding! Ding! Their weapons were thrown to the ground. The six of them kneeled on the ground.
"We are willing to surrender, and our benefactor will not harm me."
Xiao Yan let out a sigh of relief and shouted, "Take them back to the house and take these bodies and weapons with you."
He glanced at the Wu steelers lying on the ground. These guards were loyal to the death of Xiao Yan and his men. Men were the backbone of the family, especially in ancient times. When a man died, a family would often collapse.
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then said: "The family of the dead Ding Man is willing to give their family ten stones of rice, free of taxes!"
"I, Xiao Yan, will definitely not treat those who have sacrificed for my Duke Mansion unfairly. I will definitely take good care of their families."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the two hundred private soldiers were touched. There was no nationalism these days, so when Wuhu entered China, many of the Chinese were actually soldiers under the Wuhu regime.
And since Xiao Yan was being treated so well as a soldier who died in battle, these private soldiers were naturally grateful and were willing to die for Xiao Yan.
"Time to return to the residence!"
The two hundred private soldiers started to sweep the battlefield, bringing along Yellow Ribbon Bastard's blade and the dead Strong Servant's corpse, digging a huge hole and burying the dead Yellow Ribbon Bastard. Then, carrying the six dejected Capture of the, they returned to Longevity Yang Duke.
The cold wind blew, lightening the stench of blood. After another round of snow, all traces of the battle, whether blood or the smell of blood, would be eliminated.
As for the corpses of the Yellow Ribbon Bastard s, they would become nutrients for the earth.
Returning to the Duke Mansion, Xiao Yan immediately ordered for the six Capture of the s to be separated and locked up. At the same time, he strictly ordered the private soldiers who were participating in the battle today to not divulge any information.
"This bunch of Yellow Ribbon Bastard disciples are really bold!"
Taishi Ci said coldly, "Looks like Duke's eyes are burning. I'm afraid they really want to start a riot."
"Yes, I didn't expect them to be so rampant. Let's go and interrogate them first."
Taishi Ci accompanied Xiao Yan and went to protect him. The two of them headed to the room where the Yellow Ribbon Bastard was locked up.
