Chapter 191: The Man of the Archery Path
An army can be a million divisions, Jiang Ming led dozens of cavalry to rush into the barbarian camp, and those who stood in the way were all picked up by his halberd, Nuergon is a martial arts master who is more important than hegemony at the peak of the eighth stage, but it is completely inferior to Jiang Ming in terms of speed, as Jiang Ming entered the barbarian camp, Nuergon decisively gave up the pursuit, and took a pair of soldiers to carry out other arrangements. The barbarian barracks were not unarmed, and compared to the foggy stone henge, which had no practical effect, the barbarian camp was the real danger.
Jiang Ming led the cavalry into the enemy camp gradually, after killing dozens of barbarians alone, he clearly realized that there seemed to be something abnormal, there were no pursuers behind, even though Nurgon knew that he would cause great damage to the barbarians, but he did not continue to chase and kill, and the rationing of military strength in this barracks was not ordinary.
If it is on weekdays, no matter which side of the military camp is, there should be a large number of soldiers gathered, and the number of people guarding the military camp should far exceed the people sent out.
However, what made Jiang Ming extremely puzzled was that in this clearing between the mountains and forests, the main force of the barbarian army camp should be here, but why has no general come to stop it until now? According to reason, there are a total of three barbarian commanders sent here, and they are all extremely warlike barbarian generals, as well as the ranger Liu Yuxin mentioned in the vulture news, and Wu Guipeng, a disciple of the Arrow King, who seems to have deliberately failed to show up.
Just as Jiang Ming stopped the soldiers and horses, and wanted to check the situation of the military camp, he saw a person and a horse walking slowly opposite, Jiang Ming naturally didn't know it, but that person was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the barbarians were generally clothes and pants sewn from animal skins and linen, so it was not difficult to guess the identity of this person. However, it was normal for him to come to round up with soldiers and horses, but he was alone, and even those fleeing barbarians did not want to help him, which made Jiang Ming extremely puzzled.
Jiang Ming reminded the cavalry to pay attention to the defense of the four directions, and walked up to meet the person who came, and the Jue Jiangma under him walked slowly, and Jiang Ming's eyes also met the man.
"Is it Wu Guipeng?"
Jiang Ming shouted, the man stopped, raised his head, looked at Jiang Ming and smiled: "Yes, I am, I don't seem to be so famous, right?"
Jiang Ming had a sneer in his eyes, and said, "Wu Guipeng's name is indeed not that famous, but Your Excellency's master is extremely famous in Zhu Tianye, of course, if you were not a disciple of the Arrow King, I would have rushed to kill it by now." ”
"Oh, really? Thank you very much. Wu Guipeng waved his hand indifferently and said, "Actually, I don't like to do things in the name of the master, even if I am walking outside, I have already passed the age of showing off these things, I prefer you to call my name directly, just like just now." Of course, I also believe that in the near future, my name will also be as resounding as Master Zhu Tianye, and it will start today. ”
Jiang Ming said: "You are an ambitious person, but don't use it in the wrong place, how famous is the disciple of the Arrow King, I am afraid that it can scare half a person to death if you say it, this hat on your head will not make you lose face, and on the contrary, if you don't have this identity, you will not be able to stay in this barbarian barracks." I believe that when you hear this, you will secretly rejoice, it is your master's name that allows you to hold an important position in the army in this military camp safely, otherwise, from the moment you enter this military camp, your life will be targeted by many powerful people. ”
Wu Guipeng smiled indifferently and said, "Do you want to provoke me with these words? It's really a clumsy radical, but what disappoints you is that I don't seem to be stupid, although you are right, I still want to say that your enemy today is me." What you have to face is also my arrow. ”
Seeing Wu Guipeng take out the longbow and feather arrows from the horse, Jiang Ming's brows tightened slightly, but he was not too frightened, after all, even if the real arrow king came here, he might not be able to compare to Chu Hong in pure archery, but he had personally experienced Chu Hong's seven empty arrows.
Jiang Ming sneered: "Don't you think you can shoot me like this? ”
Wu Guipeng said: "I heard that your Eight Commanders of Wohua Mountain are extremely surprised, is there such a thing?"
Jiang Ming said: "You take out your bow and arrow to ask, it's a bit like persecution, but I will still tell you that the archery skills of the Eight Commanders of Wohua Mountain are much better than yours, and if you encounter him head-on to compete in archery, you may be shot directly." ”
Wu Guipeng didn't react to Jiang Ming's provocation, his expression was very indifferent, and he said: "It's an honor to hear you say this, it just so happens that my target this time is the Eight Commanders of Wohua Mountain, and it is not my idea to help the barbarians defeat Wohua Mountain, I just want to kill him." You may ask why, after all, I don't know your Eight Commanders, and I don't have the opportunity to settle grudges, but as a disciple of the Arrow King, I want to kill a mountain bandit who has no reputation, which is a very strange thing, but ah, I am just jealous. I've heard that his arrows can hurt the powerful, so I wanted to try it. ”
Strange reason!
Jiang Ming's eyebrows were slightly raised, and sure enough, there was no investigation by the dark vulture, Chu Hong was their target, since this was the case, otherwise it would be the most correct choice for him to appear and become the target of the public.
Wu Guipeng pulled the bowstring and said, "I have said everything that should be said, and I originally wanted to say two words if I didn't say it, but I guess that the steward of this barbarian barbarian camp should be about to arrive, and if I continue to talk nonsense with you, I am afraid that he will doubt me, which is not conducive to my plan." ”
Jiang Ming was shocked, and sneered: "It seems that you don't really serve the barbarians, and you really want to use the army of tens of thousands of people to achieve your goals, it is really a bit bold and reckless, it can be seen that your identity as a disciple of the Arrow King is really useful." The people who came should be the barbarian commanders, right? The six barbarian commanders, or the fourteen barbarian commanders? Or are they all here?"
Wu Guipeng said: "I don't know about these, there should be a three-barbarian commander among the people who are not enough, and that warlike butcher should be happy to fight with you." I forgot to remind you that he is a fanatical subordinate of Gan Yaliu, the commander of the Ten Barbarians, and you Wohua Mountain killed Gan Yaliu, this is to take revenge. ”
Jiang Ming shrugged his shoulders indifferently, put the halberd in front of him, and said, "These are not what I want to consider, the strings in your hand are spread so far, you should shoot that arrow, right?"
Wu Guipeng smiled indifferently and said, "Isn't this waiting for you to finish speaking? After all, it is the best sentence, so I have to make you feel at ease." Suddenly, the arrow in Wu Guipeng's hand broke through the void and shot towards Jiang Ming's head, and then his body quickly ran in the other direction, and when he stepped into the sixth step, it was only a few seconds to shoot another arrow, but his arrow must have three arrows flying out.
Jiang Ming used a possessive dodge, and the first flying arrow actually shot directly into Jiang Ming's back, and the arrow passed through the chests of two people in a row, and both of them fell to the ground in unison, and it was almost impossible to see which arrow hit first. Jiang Ming was angry when he saw that the two of his men were dead, and he actually stood directly in front of Wu Guipeng's arrows, and used the Fang Yuan halberd to swing twice horizontally in succession, shooting down the remaining two arrows.
"It's not bad, your eighth-stage position seems to be more stable than that of ordinary martial artists, maybe you will step into the ninth-stage before me in the future. Wu Guipeng glanced at Jiang Ming with a provocative look, and then pulled the bowstring again.
Jiang Ming stubbornly blocked Wu Guipeng's two arrows, and two moves full of the power of eight lead shook his hand holding the Fang Yuan halberd numbly, although his arrows were not as good as Chu Hong's seven empty arrows, but they were still extraordinarily domineering, every blow was an absolute killing opportunity, and it was not easier than fighting directly with other martial arts masters. Fire extinguished
As the saying goes, there is no trace of arrows, and the reason why archery can be independent of weapons and martial arts is that the bow and arrow can greatly shorten the distance with the enemy, and can be completely suppressed in the face of close martial artists. Just like Chu Hong's Seven Empty Arrows, it is very easy to establish meritorious service in that kind of battle, while the two armies are fighting, shooting and killing the enemy general from hundreds of meters away is not just talking, and Chu Hong You can increase the effective range to a terrifying distance of one thousand meters, which is enough to see that his archery skills far surpass others.
And Wu Guipeng's archery skills are also extremely outstanding, at least except for Chu Hong, no one can compare with him in archery, or the nine-stage Cambrian guard will be able to chase high, but there is also the result of the suppression of the martial arts realm, Meng Lang, Sun Huan, Qiong Leshuang, Xu Cong, their archery skills are not as good as this person.
Wu Guipeng shot a few arrows again, but Jiang Ming didn't want to dodge anymore, his own cavalry behind him, they didn't have the strength to block Wu Guipeng's arrows, he planned to challenge his limit, if Wu Guipeng could shoot a hundred arrows, he would catch a hundred arrows, if he couldn't catch it, he would be injured. However, he has not suffered many injuries in the past year, and he does not think that he will lose all his combat effectiveness in the injured state, as long as he still has the strength to wield the halberd, he will be able to fight.
The fourth arrow was split, the fifth arrow was blocked, and the sixth, seventh, and eighth arrows only made Jiang Ming's hand holding the halberd a little numb, but it did not achieve a stronger advantage. Then the ninth arrow Jiang Ming did not block in time, and the cavalry behind him was accidentally injured, and the tenth arrow was also extremely fast, passing through his hemp robe, and those cavalrymen would have been shot dead again, but Jiang Ming caught the arrow in time. Grabbing an arrow with his bare hands, two red blood grooves were pierced from his palm, and he threw the arrow to the ground at random, and shouted: "The whole army moves closer to my right, scatters their positions, and raises their shields. ”
Jiang Ming's cavalry integrated the formation, but Wu Guipeng looked at Jiang Ming with some surprise, he didn't send any more arrows, and took out an arrow from the horse's back again, but these arrows were different from the previous arrows, just like Chu Hong's previous exploration, these arrows were all semi-iron arrows, which were faster and sharper than those old bamboo arrows.
Wu Guipeng shouted: "Are you protecting your own men? It is really admirable, but also has to make people feel stupid, and still dare to be so careless in the face of my arrows, it really makes my face nowhere to rest." But since you've already passed ten arrows, it means that you've passed my test, and I'm going to show my true archery skills to face you. ”
Jiang Ming snorted coldly, did not speak, he was nervous at this time, staring at the half-iron arrow in Wu Guipeng's hand, there is no doubt that he has some fears, Chu Hong has already revealed the judgment criteria of archers before, ordinary archers will use bamboo arrows and wooden arrows, and some of them will choose hard-poplar bows and old bamboo arrows that are more than ten years old, and better ones are iron tire bows and semi-iron arrows, and then if you can control iron arrows, you also need stronger arm strength and archery skills. In terms of archery alone, Wu Guipeng is already a good archer.
Wu Guipeng said: "I heard that Chu Hong, the eighth commander of Wohua Mountain, also uses an iron tire bow, and the arrows that are often used are iron arrows, which seem to be heavier and sharper than my arrows. It's just that the real archer doesn't rely on these to determine the level of archery, but more importantly, the ability of the archer. ”
Jiang Ming sneered: "Are you sure that your archery skills can beat Chu Hong? I guess that your master, the famous Arrow King, should use not iron arrows but arrows made of extraordinary metal, right? However, you haven't touched the Seven Empty Arrows yet, so why do you say that you will definitely be able to defeat Chu Hong? Naturally, you can't comment on your archery skills, but this cheek is despised, and the disciple of the Arrow King is nothing more than that. ”
"Less nonsense!" Wu Guipeng was angry for the first time today, he had been disguising his expression, and finally revealed his original anger under Jiang Ming's provocation, at this moment, he shot three arrows in a row, the iron arrow was ruthless, and his archery skills were no longer reserved.
Jiang Ming felt a kind of fear from the arrow, if the first ten arrows would hurt him, then the current arrows would very likely kill him, he had no time to pay attention to the cavalry behind him, and shouted "Zhanshi" in his mouth, and suddenly the speed of the arrow slowed down by a few points, but it still made Jiang Ming feel a pressure that was about to pierce his face. His halberd went up, and a halberd cut off a half-iron arrow, and then dodged the second arrow when he turned around, but the third arrow had already come to his eyes, Jiang Ming had to raise the halberd sideways to resist, and at this moment he took three steps back, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Such a great archery, impeccable in strength and speed, but it's still too weak, you shouldn't be able to shoot iron arrows all the time, right? ”
Jiang Ming shouted, and then rushed straight towards Wu Guipeng, the two were more than fifty meters apart, this is not far away, but it can become the absolute advantage of the archer's refusal, generally within this distance, the archer is the absolute attacking side, and the other side can only passively take the move.
Wu Guipeng sneered: "What can you do? This distance is carefully set aside by me, even the Ninth Rank Martial Arts Grandmaster will inevitably be restrained by me, even if your speed is fast, it is impossible to get close to me in a few seconds, you can only serve as my arrow target." ”
"Really?" Jiang Ming's face was expressionless, and at this time, the mountain wind actually howled wildly, blowing Jiang Ming's robe to the sound of hunting, his expression was cold, and his lips seemed to set off a strange angle.
"Half moon, Busheng Lotus!"
As the pronunciation of the five characters fell, Jiang Ming's figure suddenly seemed to disappear in place, and even the shadow under the sunlight was not noticed, this speed had exceeded the realm of the eighth stage, and he appeared within five meters of Wu Guipeng in the next moment, stabbing out the halberd like a ghost.
Wu Guipeng was greatly surprised, even if he could be a top archer, his ear power and eyesight were far beyond ordinary people, but he didn't see Jiang Ming's movements clearly, until the halberd was stabbed, he felt great danger, the martial artist in front of him would not show mercy because he was a disciple of the Arrow King, and his shot was a killing move.
Jiang Ming's martial arts alone take the way of killing, the Void Trick is independent of the pole to break, the principle of the Void Break, the thorn of the domineering can break all things, and the half-moon step is a quick killing move, can face the siege of many people, once killed more than a dozen people in front of the Yuheng Tower in the Hou Feng Palace, which surprised the veteran Ning Yuanshan; the ten-foot halberd is a killer move within the range, invincible in the field, and it also belongs to the domineering martial arts.
As soon as Jiang Ming made this move, he relied on his more and more mastery of the freewheeling occupation to lock all of Wu Guipeng's escape routes, as long as the Fang Yuan halberd came to him one meter around, he would have nothing to hide. But just when he thought he was about to succeed, he suddenly felt the murderous aura on his side, but it was too late to retreat, and the golden iron rod spared no effort to smash into his halberd, blocking this student and forcing Jiang Ming to take more than ten steps back, and finally the five internal organs were shocked, and he was already injured a lot.
But he saw that the person who came was a burly man, with a height similar to that of Meng Lang, with a fierce face, and he was afraid of it.
"It seems that this is the commander of the three barbarians, this strength is really a bit terrifying. Jiang Ming covered his chest and rubbed it, obviously a little surprised that the barbarian army could form the soldiers into such a form, the barbarian soldiers at this moment seemed to be a real army, but as soon as the three barbarian commanders came, this meant that Jiang Ming would face two hegemonic martial arts masters at the same time, as well as a high-level archer with fast archery skills, this pressure can be imagined.
When Jin Han, the commander of the three barbarians, came, he ignored Jiang Ming, and came straight to Wu Guipeng, and said, "Wu Shaoxia, I'm a little late, don't blame me, the two rats over there have restrained me for a little longer." ”
Wu Guipeng immediately reacted from the previous shock and said, "Commander Jin Han is serious, after all, you are the supreme commander of this military camp, and I feel flattered to treat me like this." ”
Jin Han disagreed, and said: "This is as it should be, Wu Shaoxia was personally invited by the Barbarian Emperor to help in the war, if something goes wrong with you, I can't afford to be guilty, we still need Wu Shaoxia's help." ”
Wu Guipeng's face changed suddenly, but he still smiled: "That's natural, the deal we made is there, even if I am a disciple of the Arrow King, I will not break the contract without permission." Commander Jin Han should deal with the person in front of him quickly. ”
Jin Han said: "It may be that he can't deal with it, and his reinforcements are also coming." ”
