Chapter 2478 An arrow of revenge
It was also considered that Zhang Tongming should not have been defeated. As soon as he shrank his neck, the arrow was almost as lightning-like as lightning. It was impartial and just shot the red tassel on his helmet.
If Zhang Tong did not lower his head, the arrow would hit his temple. Although Zhang Tong's helmet was strong enough, the power of the arrow was very terrifying, and it shot through the piece of copper tube with the red tassel.
If this arrow hit the head, Zhang Tong might have died.
The arrow suddenly attacked, which shocked Zhang Tong's personal soldiers to the point of being ashamed, and immediately formed a circle to protect Zhang Tong.
Looking at the arrows on the ground and the falling red tassels, Zhang Tong was also shocked and sweated. The arrow was so sharp that he almost died.
He looked at the top of the city in a daze. There must be an arrow distance from here. It is logical that this place should be safe, but he did not expect that there was a master of arrows hidden in the Shu army. Not only could he shoot arrows at a normal distance, but his shooting skills were so superb. It was the luckiest thing in his life that he could pick up this life today.
When Zhang Tong was lamenting that he was lucky and destined, he quickly withdrew from this dangerous area. Since the opponent's master could shoot this arrow, if he failed to succeed in one strike, he could also shoot another arrow. It is really hard to say whether he was so lucky with the next arrow.
It’s better to run away quickly, leaving here to have a chance to escape.
Huo Yi failed to hit the attack and couldn't help but feel very upset. Logically speaking, his arrow had already shot quite accurately, but unfortunately he was avoided by Zhang Tong.
Huo Yi did not make another arrow. After all, there would be only one phone call like this. Once Zhang Tong and the Wei Bing around him noticed it, even if Huo Yi shot another arrow, the possibility of hitting became slim.
Zhang Tong retreated for more than a hundred steps. After confirming that the position was extremely safe, he calmed down and looked at the head of Wei County in a little embarrassed manner. He saw a general in the city holding a bow in his left hand and looking at him with a provocative look.
Although Zhang Tong didn't know him, from the previous information, Zhang Tong knew that Huo Yi was superb in archery skills, so he must be Huo Yi, the prefect of Jianning.
Zhang Tong held the arrow in his hand and pointed at the top of the city, as if telling Huo Yi that I have recorded this revenge of the arrow. It is not a gentleman to not avenge this revenge, so wait and see!
Huo Yi looked at Zhang Tong's angry look and couldn't help but smile. Although this arrow did not shoot him to death, it was enough to scare him half to death. In fact, Huo Yi was not sure of shooting this arrow. If he could shoot Zhang Tong or even shoot him to death, of course it would be better, but if he didn't shoot, there would be no regrets.
The arrow was impartial and shot to Zhang Tong's helmet, which caused the Shu army on the city to be cheered and applauded Huo Yi's wonderful arrow.
You should know that Huo Yi's arrow was shot outside the range of ordinary bows and arrows. Such a long distance is even more difficult than a hundred steps through Yang. Huo Yi used not ordinary bows and arrows. Ordinary bows and arrows really couldn't shoot so far. He used the three-stone strong bow that ordinary people struggle to pull. At such a very long distance, not only should we consider the arc of the parabola, but also the influence of wind speed and direction. It is really very, very difficult to hit one arrow.
Although this arrow did not achieve the goal Huo Yi thought, being able to shoot down Zhang Tong's helmet was of great benefit to boosting the morale of the Shu army. Are the soldiers of the Shu army still cheering there for this arrow? The crowd was excited and excited. It seems that his arrow was really shot in time!
Huo Yi has great confidence in sticking to Wei County. The previous governors spared no effort in the construction of Wei County's city defense in the Nanzhong. After decades of accumulation, Wei County's city has been built to perfection. With a tall city, a wide moat, excellent defensive equipment, sufficient food and grass, plus ten thousand fully armed and high morale defenders, Huo Yi was naturally full of confidence. No matter how many troops the Wei army came, the storage allowed them to come with excitement and return in a defeat.
What's more, the Shu army was not fighting alone. Although the Shu army was difficult to draw out to rescue Nanzhong for a while, Huo Yi had already reached an agreement with Meng Li, and both sides advanced and retreated together to fight against the Wei army together.
Huo Yi really has no exact number of how many barbarian troops can Meng Li mobilize to fight. These barbarian tribes in the southern center are scattered all over the place. Although Huo Yi has been the prefect of Jianning for several years, he still cannot figure out how many people there are.
But this is not important. What is important is that the Meng family promised to take action. With the deep strength of the Meng family's management of Nanzhong for decades, it would not be surprising that Huo Yi would have gathered a 100,000 army.
In order to invite this great god, Huo Yi really spent no effort. In addition to visiting him in person, Huo Yi also awarded the position of prefect of Xinggu to the Meng family. At the same time, he promised to give the Meng family two more counties after the matter was completed, which was a very expensive price.
But Huo Yi knew that as long as he could be protected to the south and prevent the Wei army from entering Shu from the south, it would be worth it.
Although Huo Yi's power could not be able to sever the county and give up land to the barbarians, the matter was urgently followed. If Huo Yi could not win over the Meng family to send troops to support him, then with the current power of the Shu army in Nanzhong, it would be difficult for him to stop the fierce Wei army. Once Wei County is lost, let alone the three counties in Nanzhong, I am afraid that the seven counties in Nanzhong will fall into the hands of the Wei army and cannot even be saved.
The general is not in the outside world's orders. The situation in the south is so critical, and the Meng family's attitude is very obvious. If there is no benefit in not seeing a rabbit or showing off the eagle, Huo Yi would not agree to the big sky Meng Li.
That's why Huo Yi took the initiative to agree to the promise of sending troops to the Meng family for help. Originally, this matter required to be asked by the court, but in this situation, I sent someone to Chengdu to submit a memorial, and when the memorial arrived in Chengdu, the daylily might be cold.
The military situation is urgent, so Huo Yi can only make a decision on his own. Of course, he will send someone to report to the court afterwards and make a clear explanation.
At this point, Huo Yi was naturally open and honest. Even if he ceded the territory of the three counties, it was entirely out of war needs and there was no selfishness in it. Huo Yi Sleeping asked himself that he had a clear conscience.
As for what the court thinks, Huo Yi can't control it. As long as he can protect Nanzhong and not fall into the hands of the Wei army, even if the court wants to hold him accountable in the future, Huo Yi will be willing to bear it with all his strength.
