A pure white horse leaped out of the grass, its hooves tapping on the pebbled river beach, making a rapid beat like the beating of a war drum.
The knight on the horse seemed not to be fast enough.
He held the reins with one hand and slapped the horse's butt hard with the other hand.
The horse raised its head and neighed, speeding up a bit.
Several birds with gray-white wings fluttered in the river forest on the left, flapping their wings and circling several times, flying towards the north.
It was already April, and Meng Xia's atmosphere was already everywhere in Jiangdong.
Dantu's land is adjacent to the Yangtze River, with lush forests and abundant water and grass.
The animals that are lucky enough to survive the winter are all active, making it a good place for hunting.
The knight suddenly saw the shadow of a deer leaping over in front of him on the left.
He immediately tightened the reins and slowed down the horse.
Then he clamped the horse's belly tightly with both feet, took off the bow and arrow from his shoulder, and put one neatly on it.
Green bamboo arrows.
But before the knight could round the bow string, his eyes flashed suddenly, he held the bow's left arm and turned it slightly, re-aiming the arrow at a hillside on the right.
Three people appeared on the hillside.
They came on foot, wearing shoulderless leather armor.
They each held a wooden bow in their hands, and had a ring-shaped knife on their waist with a circle of mountain vines.
"Who is it?"
the knight shouted, maintaining a full bow posture, and his mount obediently stopped in order to obtain a more stable shooting posture for the master.
The three people looked quite panicked and looked at each other.
Finally, an older man took a courageous step forward, knelt down and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, we are subordinates of Colonel Han Dang.
Hunting deer here to provide food for the army.”
"Oh" the knight drawled, lowering the bow and arrow in his hand slightly, and then asked: "Why are you wearing armor if you are hunting deer?"
"This place is close to Sheyang, and Chen Deng's sergeants often come out to collect firewood, so Lieutenant Han told us to wear armor when going out to prevent accidents."
The relationship between the Sun family in Jiangdong and the Cao family in Yanzhou seems to be good.
Not long ago, Cao Zhang, Cao Cao's son, married the daughter of Sun Bi, and Sun Ce is now recommended by Cao Cao as a rebel general and Wuhou.
But at this time, the knight on the white horse, Sun Ce, was very satisfied with their answer.
He even glanced at the three of them: "Han Dang has always been rigorous in running the army and meticulous in every detail.
Now that I have seen it, it is indeed good.
So what have you gained today?"
Upon hearing this question, the expressions of the three of them relaxed a little.
The leader stood up, scratched his head, and said shyly: "It's a pity that we are unlucky and haven't hunted anything big yet."
"Don't be impatient when hunting.
If you move, the prey will also move.
Who can strike first?"
Before the word "human" was uttered, the bamboo arrow in Sun Ce's hand suddenly shot out and instantly penetrated the forehead of the leading man.
The man's eyes widened. eyes, immediately fell to the ground.
The remaining two men hurriedly picked up their wooden bows and shot at Sun Ce.
Unfortunately, Sun Ce was faster than them.
He took the arrow from the quiver, nocked the bow, and shot it all in one go.
Before the second man's arrow could be shot, his forehead was firmly pinned by a flying cluster.
However, the sacrifice of the two companions finally bought enough time for the third man.
The bowstring vibrated and the sharp arrow flew straight towards Sun Ce.
Sun Ce didn't have time to dodge, so he moved the hard bow in front of him and pushed the arrow away.
"Who are you?"
Sun Ce shouted on the horse.

His expression was more excited than angry.
It was a kind of bloodthirsty excitement, like a tiger seeing a weak prey.
"Thief, do you still remember Xu Gong who was hanged by you?"
the third man yelled as he set the second arrow.
When Sun Ce heard this name, he was slightly surprised: "You are his disciples."
"Yes, today I will avenge my lord."
The man shot another arrow.
Unfortunately, this arrow was still in vain and was easily deflected by Sun Ce.
His reaction speed and arm strength were quite astonishing, and this wooden bow weighing only a few stones could not pose a threat to him at all.
"That old guy has raised a few obedient dead soldiers."
Sun Ce licked his lips, showing bloodthirsty excitement, but his smile suddenly froze.
His right ear caught a subtle vibration of a bow string.
The sound did not come from the front, but from the dense forest beside him.
Sun Ce did not hesitate and instantly dismounted from his horse.
At the same time, a sharp arrow struck through the air and shot directly through the horse's head.
The horses fell to the ground before they even whined.
Sun Ce avoided the horse's heavy body and quickly lowered his body.
The bow and arrow that pierced the horse's head was two feet three inches long, with a thick shaft and a layer of dark gray paint.
Sun Ce knew that a large bow capable of shooting such arrows must be at least twenty stone in size.
It cannot be operated by one person.
When shooting arrows, the bow must be fixed in advance and then the bowstring must be slowly tightened.
In other words, what he and Xu Gong's disciples did was The encounter was not an accident, but a premeditated ambush.
Death traps have been set up around here by unknown enemies, just waiting for him to come in.
At this time, an unknown number of large bows were already aimed at this small area.
Four more big arrows flew out from the forest, blocking Sun Ce's hiding direction.
Sun Ce made a leap, and with the help of the horse's huge body, he barely avoided this sharp killing move, but was forced to an open area without cover.
At this moment, he heard a slight metallic clang in the forest, facing his direction.
When the man in front of him saw that Sun Ce was already on the verge of death, he couldn't help but show a crazy look on his face: "Sun Ce, today is the day you die."
Sun Ce chuckled softly, looking at the man who was charging at him without fear of death.
He pulled out the ring-headed knife from his waist, took a step forward, and slashed with a diagonal squat.
The crazy look on the man's face froze.
Looking down, Sun Ce's still bloodthirsty eyes were all he could see, looking at his chest and abdomen that had been torn open, with all his organs and contents flowing out.
"No, this is impossible."
The man didn't close his eyes until he died.
He looked back at the place in the distance, wondering why there was no crossbow fired there.
"No need to wait, those dead soldiers have been killed by my men."
Sun Ce bared his teeth, more like a tiger after foraging: "Also, don't pretend to be General Han's subordinates, his soldiers , who never wear armor.”
As soon as he finished speaking, screams of agony rang out from the grass in the distance.
Zhou Yu was dressed in brocade clothes, carrying a human head that was still dripping with blood, and walked towards Sun Ce with a gloomy expression: "Bo Fu, it is too dangerous for you to use your body as a bait this time.
I told you" Sun Ce quickly waved his hand, Zhou Yu had taught him a lesson not once or twice.
Every time, Sun Ce could hear the truth about being a general and having a rich man not to sit in danger.
It was at this time that the ground trembled slightly, and the sound of countless rapid horse hooves could be heard in the distance, as if a large group of people were approaching, and the calls of "General Sun" and "Lord" kept coming and going.
Sun Ce looked at the troops and horses that had been arriving for a long time, and then at the Zhou Yu soldiers who were slowly gathering around, all carrying the heads of the dead soldiers.
He shook his head and said, "Zhongmou always fails to do things at the best time.
Even this time is no exception.”

As soon as he said this, Sun Ce was shocked.
He suddenly turned back and looked at the woods on the right that he had been ignoring.
A silent killing force suddenly surged there.
The heavy pressure instantly paralyzed Sun Ce's body: "No, they still have a back-up plan."
This time the enemy took action at a time when Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were most relaxed.
A crossbow arrow shot out from the woods and passed directly through Sun Ce's right cheek, knocking away several molars, and then pierced into the mouth and pierced the other side hard, causing blood to spray everywhere.
Sun Ce let out a scream and swayed a few times, revealing even bigger flaws.
At this time, the second crossbow arrow flew out from another angle.
Zhou Yu beside Sun Ce was shocked and flew towards Sun Ce.
The crossbow arrow penetrated Zhou Yu's shoulder blade hard, and the strong force caused both of them to fly back a few steps.
"A dog thief deserves death."
The soldiers and horses coming from a distance suddenly saw such a change.
The leader, Sun Quan, was furious and rushed into the woods with his soldiers and horses.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu fell to the ground, with blood overflowing from the corners of their mouths and pale faces.
The last words Sun Ce said after he fainted were to murmur to the sky: "Da Qiao, you really predicted this disaster.
Not being able to get you in this life is really a lifelong regret for me, Sun Ce":
