Chapter 218: Yin to Yin
ambush!
Hundreds of enemy troops emerged among the reeds on the north bank of the Ji River without warning, each holding a strong bow and a hard crossbow.
"The scout clearly rewarded him. He had not discovered the enemy situation within a radius of more than ten miles. Why did so many enemy soldiers suddenly appear between the river beaches?"
The pottery was shocked and swept up the river quickly. He soon found that more than ten fishing boats seemed to be hidden in the reeds.
Tao Shang's sword eyebrows condensed and suddenly realized.
Although he was guarding against Cao Cao's fraud, he sent a large number of scouts to reconnaise the movements within a radius of dozens of miles to ensure that Cao Cao had no ambush.
But he did not expect that the hundreds of crossbowmen ruled by Guan Yu were pretending to be fishermen and distributed scattered on the Ji River, so they did not arouse the scouts' suspicion in advance.
When the pottery merchant met with Cao Cao, the fishing boats gathered quietly at the river beach. The crossbowmen hid on the way he had to go back, using the reeds as a cover, and suddenly attacked when he passed by.
"It's so silly. It turns out that I'm waiting for me here. Let's go and speed up!" When Tao Shang saw the ambush appear, he shouted loudly and rode his horse and ran wildly.
Lian Po and other seven hundred guards also rushed up, trying to speed up the enemy's ambush circle.
"Boundist, shoot me arrows, aim at the little thief, shoot him to death, Cao Sikong is rewarded with great rewards—" Almost at the same time, Guan Yu's big sword on the reeds waved and issued a killing order with a sneer.
Whoosh swish swish swish!
The rain of arrows like locusts rose into the sky and roared overwhelmingly.
The incident happened suddenly. Even though the pottery reacted quickly, it would be faster than the speed of the arrow. Before he could run a few steps, sharp arrows all over the sky had already shot wildly.
At this point, the pottery had no choice but to lie on the horse's back as much as possible. While riding the horse, he ran wildly while desperately tweaking the sword in his hand to resist the incoming arrow.
Ying Bulianpo and a group of personal soldiers followed closely behind, dancing weapons to protect themselves, and when they were separated, they also had to block arrows for the pottery merchants.
Lian Po and Ying Bu both had military power values above 90, which was the highest in the world. With their agility in reaction, it was naturally difficult for the arrows to break their defenses and hurt them.
However, Guan Yu had a clear goal, and most of the sharp arrows attacked the pottery merchant.
The arrows were thrown behind by war horses, and were blocked by the pottery himself, Ying Bu and Lian Po, but there were still several sharp arrows that penetrated the defense and shot at the pottery.
Puff!
Two arrows shot the pottery on the shoulder and legs.
Although the two sharp arrows were shot, they failed to hurt the vital points. The Taoist merchant could only endure the pain and continued to ride his horse.
After several rounds of arrows from the enemy, Tao Shang and his soldiers were about to rush out of the range of the crossbow.
At this time, Guan Yu could no longer sit still, so he personally snatched a hard bow, bent his bow and arrow, and aimed at the back of the Tao merchant.
"Tao thief, we will use this arrow to end the new and old hatreds!"
Guan Yu's eyes widened, he growled, loosened his fingers, and the sharp arrow broke through the air and took the pottery.
One arrow hid among the arrows, avoiding the pottery's arrow, and hitting the pottery's back.
"Ah——" Tao Shang groaned, and felt a severe pain coming from his back. He lay on the horse's back, his body shook violently, and he almost fell down.
"Lord!" Lian Po was startled and rushed to reach the horse and support Tao merchant.
Ying Bu also moved his horse to approach. Seeing that a pottery merchant was shot in the back, blood was already soaked out. He was frightened and shouted: "Lord, you are hit by the arrow in your vest!"
"I can't die yet. Don't talk nonsense first, go back to the camp before talking..." Tao Shang's face was pale, his voice was trembling, but he still forced himself to endure the severe pain and continued to move his horse away.
The vest was shot in a critical moment, and the pottery merchant was able to support it. Ying Bu and others were all impressed by the will of the pottery merchant and were eager to protect the pottery merchant and continue to retreat.
"Tao Shang, I am so angry that I am hit by this arrow in my heart. Even if you don't have to on the spot, you will be seriously injured. I think you can live for a few days." Guan Yu's face was full of revenge sneer on his red face. He threw the bow and subconsciously remembered to stroke his beard again.
What he touched was empty, and then he remembered that his beautiful beard had long been destroyed by the pottery.
When I thought of this painful experience, Guan Yu must have hated him so much that his teeth were itchy, but today he did not, but instead sneered again.
The pottery merchant running wildly on the horse's back, but there was a hint of anger in his blood-stained eyes.
It was not because of the pain in the body, but because of this ambush.
"I invited me to meet, but set up an ambush on my way back. I didn't want to lose my reputation, but also wanted to murder me. I was really a ** and a archway. Humph, I won't be in vain for this arrow..."
Tao Shang turned around and swept towards Guan Yu, looked at Guan Yu's smug expression, his eyes turned a few times, and he had an idea, and a mysterious sneer quietly raised the corner of his mouth.
Then, he screamed in pain, his body shook violently again, and he was almost about to fall off his horse.
"Lord." Lian Po and other soldiers were even more panicked.
But Guan Yu, who had gone away, smiled even more proudly when he saw the tragic situation of the pottery merchant.
The pottery ran all the way by the escort of a crowd, and finally retreated to the camp several miles away.
In the camp, all the counselors and generals waiting in the camp were shocked when they heard that the Tao merchant was injured and rushed to the tent.
The Taoist merchant who was carried onto the bed looked sick and gave a weak order to hold the soldiers away, leaving only Chen Ping, Fan Kuai, a few of his confidants, as well as his wife, Mulan.
"Husband, your injury..." Mulan was so distressed that she had tears in her eyes. Seeing that Tao Shang was also injured by arrows on his back, she was so panicked that she lost her sense of duty.
Tao Shang held her hand and forced a smile, "It's okay, your husband, I'm very lucky. I can't die. Why don't you go to summon Bian Que quickly, otherwise I will really die."
Mulan finally recovered and rushed to call Bian Que to call him.
After a while, Bian Que hurried over with the medicine box.
When the miraculous doctor entered the account and saw that the pottery merchant was also shot in the vest, his face, which had always been light and his confident heart, could not help but change his color slightly.
You should know that the vest is one of the key points. Even if you are shot by an arrow, it will be extremely difficult to save even if you don’t die on the spot.
After all, Bian Que was a miracle doctor. He quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, and began to treat the pottery merchant.
When he carefully untied the potter's armor with the help of Mulan, his originally frowning brows couldn't help but feel relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that the pottery not only wore an armor outside, but also an inner armor inside. It was this pair of armor that offset Guan Yu's powerful arrow, so that he would not be shot through his heart on the spot.
After removing his armor, Bian Que carefully examined the wound for the pottery before he dared to draw arrows for the pottery.
After pulling out sharp arrows, cleaning the wounds, applying medicine to bandage them, Bian Que finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is your husband's injury serious?" Mulan asked impatiently.
Bian Que smiled faintly, "Madam, don't worry, lord, he wore two layers of armor, offsetting most of the arrow's strength. The arrow was not shot deep and failed to hurt the heart. With the healing medicine I prepared, it will not take long to heal."
Mulan breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Ping, Fan Kuai and others in the tent also relaxed their tense nerves.
Mulan gently pinched the potter's arm and complained: "Husband, it turns out that your injury is not serious. Why did you pretend to be seriously injured? I was scared to death just now."
"Just in front of so many people, I have to do it for my husband..."
Tao Shang sighed with a wry smile, and then changed his tone, revealing a bit of weirdness, "If you don't pretend to be a little bit like, how can you fool Cao Cao and avenge me for this arrow?"
Let Cao Cao be fooled.
Mulan's pretty face was stunned and she fell into confusion for a moment. With her wisdom, it was naturally difficult to guess the intention of the Taoist merchant.
Chen Ping smiled knowingly, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Master, you react quickly enough. As soon as you hit an arrow, you thought of giving Cao Cao a trick."
Since the Tao merchant had said that he was deliberately pretending to be seriously injured, with Chen Ping's wisdom, he naturally understood the Tao merchant's mystery in an instant.
"Nothing can be hidden from you, the drunkard's eyes..." Tao Shang sighed with a smile.
When they had a conversation between them, not only Mulan, but also Fan Kuai was confused. He scratched the back of his head and said with a silly look on his face: "Lord, what are you saying to this drunkard? Tell us openly that you can't do it, don't bully me, Lao Fan and my wife are brainless."
"Bah, you stupid bull, you have no brains, what are you doing to get me?" Mulan glared at him.
Fan Kuai was stunned and confused for a moment. Then he realized that he had said the wrong thing without any restraint. He was embarrassed to stick out his tongue, lowered his head and scratched the back of his head.
"Husband, I understand. You deliberately pretended to be seriously injured so that the thief Cao thought our army was in turmoil, and then he took the initiative to launch a fierce attack on us. Then we can catch him off guard, right?" Mulan was still a little wise, and finally turned around.
"I am worthy of being my wife, smart." Tao Shang laughed and took advantage of the situation and touched Mulan's buttocks hard.
With outsiders present, Tao Shang dared to be so presumptuous. Mulanton blushed and glared at him fiercely.
Chen Ping and others were all over the place, and they quickly coughed a few times, pretending that they didn't see anything.
Fan Kuaize finally realized it suddenly, slapped his thighs, and shouted excitedly: "Lord, Lao Fan, I finally understand, you are so sinister."
"Ahem, Fan Dawei, are you scolding me or praising me?" Tao Shang also glared at him.
Fan Kuai was stunned and hurriedly laughed: "Of course I am praising my lord. You are so smart, and you are really quick to react."
Everyone in the tent was made funny by Fan Kuai.
"It turns out that when the lord was shot by Guan Yu, he had already thought of using the trick. The lord's ability to adapt to the situation is really admirable..."
Lian Po admired him, but said, "But I heard that Cao Cao is a man who is deceitful and suspicious in his life. I am afraid that the lord just pretends to be seriously injured may not be able to lure Cao Cao into the trap."
"The old general Lian reminded that Cao Cao had suspicious illness, and it was not enough to just pretend to be seriously injured." Tao Shang nodded, "In addition to pretending to be seriously injured, you must have other tricks to make Cao Cao believe it."
As he said that, Tao Shang looked at Chen Ping with his eyes. His eyes were obviously asking him to come up with another plan.
Chen Ping took a sip of wine, closed his eyes and rested for a moment. When he opened his eyes, a trace of weirdness appeared in his eyes, "Lord, have you forgotten, we still have a card available in our hands." Mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
