Chapter 101 Zhang Wu's three arrows stop the pursuers
Zhou Ping did not expect this situation now, and Xu Chu and the others also did not expect it.
Although Zhou Ping had Xu Chu and Zhang Wu, as well as thirty knights and ten guards, Sun Ce had two to three hundred soldiers, and there were so many generals following him. He would definitely not be able to gain favor in a real fight.
I also blame my bad luck. Others met Sun Ce alone, but the Sun Ce I met brought so many soldiers and horses. If he could be like Xu Gong's three guests and only met Sun Ce, how could he have met Sun Ce alone?
Xu Chu and Zhang Wu might be able to kill him on the spot.
Now we just have to see if we can hide it. If he knows his identity, then don't even think about running away.
Sun Ce, like Zhou Ping, is now twenty-one years old. He is young and vigorous. He has won successive battles and driven away Liu Yao. He also issued orders and collected more than 20,000 soldiers. Now there are more than 40,000 soldiers in the army.
, it is the time when ambition is satisfied.
He saw Zhou Ping's group. Except for one person who only carried a wine gourd and no weapons, the others were all carrying weapons. One person was even carrying a bow and arrow. He knew at a glance that they were not ordinary people, so he stopped to ask.
.
If it were an ordinary knight with weapons, there would generally not be so many people accompanying him, and it seemed that the man with the wine gourd hanging on his waist might be the leader of these people, and those people were all tribesmen or guards.
Sun Ce could not imagine who would have such status in Jiangdong. People from ordinary aristocratic families might be followed by dozens of people, but they would not be accompanied by dozens of people armed with weapons.
Especially when these people saw their soldiers and horses, although they forced smiles on their faces, there was a hint of panic in their expressions.
"Where do you come from?"
Sun Ce listened to Zhou Ping's words and knew from his accent that he was not from Jiangdong.
"Coming from Yuzhou."
Zhou Ping had a smile on his face, lowered his head slightly, and answered respectfully.
"Where are we going?" Sun Ce asked seriously.
"Go to Wanling." Zhou Ping replied.
"What happened?"
Without thinking, Zhou Ping immediately replied: "My uncle at home had an enmity with others and avoided living here. Now that the enmity has been resolved, we are ready to welcome him back home, because... there are many thieves on the road, so... I brought more people with me on the road."
Protect each other.”
Sun Ce was dubious and looked at the tall Xu Chu.
"Hehehe..." Xu Chu chuckled.
He knew that he couldn't take action now. Even if he could escape, Zhou Wen'an would not be able to escape, so he had to endure it first.
Sun Ce looked at the people carefully and saw that their expressions were gradually relaxing, thinking that these might be thieves who were usually hired as guards by the son of a rich family with a wine gourd hanging from his waist.
If a thief suddenly encounters an officer or soldier, he will indeed become nervous.
"What's your name?"
Sun Ce inspected everyone carefully and then asked Zhou Ping.
"Zhao Yun, courtesy name Zilong."
Zhou Ping quickly raised his hand and answered quickly, without any hesitation. He had already thought of a response in his mind.
If you even hesitate to answer your own name, you will definitely be suspected by Sun Ce.
Anyway, Sun Ce didn't know Zhao Yun, and he had never heard of Zhao Yun, so it would be fine to borrow his name.
"Where is the person you want to pick up? What's his name?"
"Zhao Guang."
"General, let's go."
Cheng Pu said next to him that although these people were suspicious, there were only dozens of them and they should just be thieves.
"You go first."
Sun Ce waved his hand and asked Zhou Ping and others to leave first.
"Thank you, General."
Zhou Ping smiled again, cupped his hands and thanked him, then urged his horse forward.
Sun Ce only paid attention to Zhou Ping and Xu Chu at first, but now he noticed the naked horse that Zhang Wu was riding.
He wondered in his heart, it seemed that the man with the wine gourd was the leader, but why was the horse of the guard carrying the bow and arrow better than the leader's horse.
Moreover, that horse seems to be a rare BMW.
Sun Ce stopped his horse and didn't move. He looked back at those people, but saw that after they left, they all suddenly slapped their horses and ran wildly.
"General, is something wrong?"
Zhou Yu asked. Although he had doubts in his heart, he couldn't think of anything wrong.
"The man carrying the bow and arrow seems to be riding a horse."
When Huang Gai heard this, he suddenly said anxiously: "General, that seems to be the red rabbit horse that Lu Bu rides. I saw it in Luoyang with General Polu."
"I've seen it too." Cheng Pu and Han Dang said in unison.
"Why do they have Lu Bu's red rabbit horse? Are they from Liu Xuande of Xuzhou?"
Sun Ce became increasingly suspicious of the origins of these people.
Lu Bu died in Xuzhou, and his red rabbit horse was most likely used by Liu Bei's people. If it is confirmed that the red horse is a red rabbit horse, it also means that they are Liu Bei's people.
"General, I have heard that there is a counselor named Zhou Wen'an in Liu Bei's army. He always wears a wine gourd hanging around his waist. The person just now is probably Zhou Wen'an."
Someone behind Sun Ce said something.
"Chase."
Sun Ce now doesn't care whether they are Liu Bei's people, or whether the man with the wine gourd is Zhou Wen'an, he will know it after he catches them first.
After receiving the order, the generals immediately turned their horses' heads. Han Dang and Chen Wudang ran out first, chasing after Zhou Ping and others.
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others followed Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, leading their troops to pursue him.
"Sir, they are coming."
Zhou Ping and the others had only run less than a mile when they saw soldiers and horses chasing after them, and a guard shouted.
"They may know our identities, let's go."
Zhou Ping said, lapping his horse and speeding up.
They had dozens of horses, and running together would slow down a lot. Han, Dang, Chen and Wu were the first to catch up, but they ran a little faster. They gradually caught up to about a hundred paces apart, and there were ten more behind them.
Several cavalrymen followed closely.
Zhang Wu looked back and shouted to Zhou Ping: "Young master, you go first, I will stop them."
After shouting, he stopped the red rabbit horse, quickly drew his long bow from behind, drew an arrow and put it on the bow string, aiming at Han Dang who was chasing him.
Zhou Ping heard Zhang Wu's shout and reined in his horse a little. He then thought that Zhang Wu was riding a red rabbit horse, which could run much faster than ordinary horses. He was also good at archery, so it was just right for him to stop the pursuers.
Otherwise, if Sun Ce's men catch up, no one will be able to escape.
"Ziwei, you have to be careful not to let the enemy get close to you."
As long as they can keep a distance, Sun Ce and the others can't do anything to Zhang Wu.
After Zhou Ping shouted, he slapped his horse hard, speeding up, and at the same time shouted to Xu Chu and others behind him: "Let's go first, Ziwei will follow."
Xu Chu and others also knew that Zhang Wu was very good at bow shooting, and they were even more envious of the red rabbit horse he rode. Knowing that he could catch up, they didn't say anything and continued to rush forward with Zhou Ping.
Protecting Zhou Wen'an is the most important thing now.
Han Dang was chasing after him when he suddenly saw a man stopping his horse in front of him. The horse stood in the middle of the road. The man was sitting on the red rabbit horse and aimed at him with an arrow.
He was taken aback and hurriedly reined in his horse. Just as he reined in his horse, the horse took advantage of the momentum and continued to run forward without stopping immediately.
I saw the man on the horse about seventy or eighty paces away from the opposite side loosening his grip and shooting an arrow from his bowstring.
Han Dang wanted to dodge, but he just had an idea in his mind and before he could take action, there was a "pop" sound and the arrow hit him between the eyebrows.
He didn't even have time to scream, and immediately fell off his horse.
Zhang Wu did not hesitate. After shooting an arrow, he quickly drew his arrow and nocked his bow, aiming at Chen Wu.
Chen Wu was originally running with Han Dang on horseback. When he saw the men on horseback in front of him raising their bows and taking aim, he was shocked. He didn't expect that these people would dare to stop and stop them.
Like Han Dang, he immediately reined in his horse. Before he could rein in his horse, he saw Han next to him hit an arrow from his horse.
At this time, he saw the man on the opposite side shooting an arrow again. Chen Wu was so frightened that he immediately fell down on his horse. As soon as he fell down, he only heard a "chirp" sound and the arrow flew past his head.
Although Chen Wu dodged Zhang Wu's second arrow, the cavalry chasing after him were hit by the arrow, and one of them immediately fell off his horse.
Just as this man fell off his horse, Zhang Wu fired a third arrow, and another cavalryman was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse.
Three people were shot off their horses in succession. At this moment, they all stopped their horses and lay down on their backs, not daring to move.
I secretly glanced ahead, only to find that the man had already galloped away, just like a red cloud flying forward.
