Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Divine Crossbow Shows Its Might
"Father, Shuying City is the foundation of my Bai family, with you in charge, my third uncle and I are also at ease. The matter of loyalty to the country in the Eastern Song Dynasty is with me. ”
"Big brother, Bai Qing is not what it used to be, you don't have to worry. Besides, if something happens, then the portal in the backyard can only be opened. ”
It's time to leave, Bai Li, Bai Qing inevitably said goodbye. After a short reunion, we set out on the road north again.
Now south of Shenyu Pass, the walled cities have been restored to the control of the Bai family, and the Xiao Bai guards have been sent to various places to guard. Coupled with Bai Qing's previous divine power and deterrence, it should be no problem.
Before the trip, Bai Qing followed his father Bai Rong, and Sanbo Baili had some deployments and plans. The three of them agreed that although the Bianjing City side did not know what the reason was, it did not attach great importance to the border pass.
However, according to the combat power of the Divine Crossbow Battalion trained by Bai Li, a precise strike within a range of ten miles should be enough to subdue those disobedient walled cities at the border pass and deter the neighboring countries that are about to move. The soldiers are divided into two ways, and the four of them are directly smashing Huanglong. Go to the scouts to find out what kind of Longtan tiger's den is in Bianjing, the eastern capital!
"Third uncle, I have discussed with my three friends, the three of them will go to Nabianjing City first, and I will accompany you to one or two cities. ”
Although Bai Qing is full of confidence in Bai Li's divine crossbow camp, if he adds himself to show a little divine might. Then the process of subduing the north of Shenyuguan should be smoother.
Bai Li also understood the reason, so he gladly accepted the proposal. Besides, this also saves the crossbow camp some legs and feet.
Northwest, the Konza River Basin. The water and grass of the Kashiqin prairie are abundant, and the meadows are connected to the sky. This steppe that straddles the two countries is home to a long-established tribe, Nanu.
It is rumored that the Nanu people, both men and women, are born warriors, and adults and children are superb in riding and archery. But there is only one point, so that the clan has not been able to grow, often a little improvement, the surrounding forces will work together to suppress it.
In the Eastern Song Dynasty, there was a writer "Fan Wenzhong" who traveled to northern Xinjiang, and in the "Beiguan Ce" to the emperor, the evaluation of Nanu was "an unrighteous barbarian, mercenary." ”
There is a town guarding this place in Northern Xia, and there is a sentence that summarizes "the thieves are impermanent, and the thieves are only Nanu". It's about thieves, I'm not sure which race, but when it comes to thieves, it's only Nanu!
The prairie where the Nanu live spans both countries, and both countries have the same assessment of them. It can be seen that its reputation is really not very good. However, the cavalry combat strength of the clan was favored by both sides.
Therefore, the friction between the two countries here is often that today the Northern Xia bribed the Nanu cavalry to sneak attack the Eastern Song Dynasty walled city, and tomorrow the same group of cavalry will carry the gold and silver given by the Eastern Song Dynasty to attack the Northern Xia.
However, this time, Northern Xia did give the Nanu a large sum of gold and silver. But it was not for them to contribute, but for them not to be silent when the Northern Xia army passed through the Kashiqin steppe and entered the territory of the Eastern Song Dynasty.
The Eastern Song Dynasty, Tanyuan City, as the main city facing the strong neighbor Northern Xia, has high walls and strong walls! It has always been the most important fortress on the northwest border of the Eastern Song Dynasty.
However, on the city wall at this time, the Eastern Song Dynasty military flag no longer exists, and the hunting exhibition has long been replaced by the Northern Xia battle flag! Only in the middle of the city tower, there is still a silver wolf flag.
Ten miles, ordinary people can't reach such a distance, except for more than 200 people here. Of course, the four of Bai Qing are already very human, and Bai Li has also been opened.
And the two hundred god crossbow battalions took out the cylinder with the thickness of the arm from the animal skin bag on his waist and skillfully mounted it on the divine arm bow. The distance between the crystals in the adjustment cylinder is clearly visible ten miles away!
"Silver Wolf Banner. Hehe, I'm really going to meet so soon, Li Yuanjue!"
Seeing the silver wolf pattern representing the prince of Northern Xia, Bai Qing said lightly.
"Uncle San, how to act, please decide!"
Bai Li knew that Bai Qing had a plan, so he took off the Divine Arm Bow on his back. He made a simple and clear gesture to the Divine Crossbow Battalion. Then he walked to the front alone, pulled out one of the feathered arrows from his backpack and put it into the arrow slot, and easily pulled out the full bow. The left hand holds the crossbow, and the right hand caresses the bracket.
In an instant, "Bell!"
With Bai Qing's eyesight, he could barely keep up with this black shadow. I saw that the scissor head evenly cut through the air, providing a vacuum pipe for the tightly connected arrow body to pass through.
The arrow then bent the bowstring straight as soon as it was bent, and there was no change of direction as it crossed the vacuum pipe.
The six feathers at the end of the feather fly at high speed and remain in a backward state, only when the speed is reduced to a certain point, they will quickly spin with the entire feather arrow.
"Da!
The black arrow shot the silver wolf flagpole and nailed it to the rear city tower, one foot into the wall, and the tail feathers did not tremble at all!
Witnessing the divine power of the Divine Arm Bow for the first time, watching the silver wolf banner fall from the city tower, Bai Qing's heart was extremely happy!
Bai Li just smiled slightly, as if he took it for granted. The Divine Arm Bow was once again behind his back and retreated to one side, and the Divine Crossbow Battalion quickly set up a formation, with a row of forty people and five rows of alternate forwards.
Bai Qing looked at it again, and there was no flag fluttering on the city tower. No longer paying attention to the chaos on the castle tower, he turned and walked towards Bai Li.
"Third Uncle, you and all the divine crossbow camps are waiting here, and I will go to meet the prince of Northern Xia. ”
With that, he walked towards Tanyuan City.
Li Yuanjue climbed the city tower and looked in the direction of the feather arrows inserted in the wall. To his surprise, the wall of this pond was clear, and there was a prairie in front of it, and there was no hiding place for the archers at all, but it was indeed empty after repeated looks.
Confused, Li Yuanjue squatted down, picked up the broken sawdust, and looked at the tail of the arrow nailed to the wall. Northern Xia is good at riding and shooting, and the crown prince Li Yuanjue is of course also an expert. At this time, he was very interested in such an attack power. I wanted to see the material of the arrow, so I pulled out my saber and slashed it.
"Bell!"
The expected scene of the arrow being broken by the knife did not appear, but the hand that carelessly waved the knife was numb! I was shocked, and when I looked closely, the arrow body was cut out of a deep gap, but it was not broken! You must know that this prince's saber is a treasure knife made of meteoric iron, and the iron is as sharp as clay!
Li Yuanjue was a little stunned, it was obviously wooden, but it was as hard as a stone! After a lot of effort, he took off the feather arrow and was about to call the quartermaster. Suddenly, the hairs rise, and the alarm is suddenly born!
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you still remember me, boy?"
Li Yuanjue turned around abruptly and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
On top of the strong stack sat a young man with a gray cloth short-shirt and trousers, and his hair was tied in a random knot and tied on the top of his head. Scanning all over his body, he didn't have anything on his head. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, with a smile on his face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was staring at himself.
"You are?"
The prince of Northern Xia only felt that his face was kind, but he didn't think about it for a while. But after all, he was a crown prince, and he quickly regained the courage of the superior.
"Who broke into my Beixia City?!
"Northern Xia City, it seems that your memory as His Royal Highness the Prince of Northern Xia is very bad. ”
Bai Qing fell from the wall battlement, and said as he walked slowly towards Li Yuanjue.
"I'm in Tanyuan City in the Eastern Song Dynasty, and the prince remembers wrongly. I don't even know me, the savior, and I'm afraid Beixia will die. ”
"It doesn't matter who you are, and it doesn't matter how you got to this tower. Just by virtue of your rebellious words, I will let you have a life to come and not to return!"
As he spoke, Li Yuanjue took a step back and shouted: "Come on!"
Twenty or thirty sword and axe men immediately poured into the aisle in front of the city tower, and suddenly the cold light shone on their clothes, and the anger was surging to the sky! The soldiers of Northern Xia stared vigilantly at the unarmed gray-clothed boy while pricking up their ears and waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince's order.
"My name is Bai Qing, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have an impression?"
Bai Qing was going to give it another chance.
"Slow!Bai Qing?!Are you Bai Qing?!Bai Qing, the son of Bai Rong, Marquis of Shuying?!"
Bai Qing nodded, and before he could speak, Li Yuanjue grabbed him and looked him up and down.
"No, I saw you die with my own eyes, right in my father's court!How can you still be alive?!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took a step back again, his face full of surprise!
This time it was Bai Qing's turn to glare: "I'm dead, in the Northern Xia Royal Court?!"
"Not only Bai Qing, but also Bai Qing's father, General Mu An, was captured alive by the national teacher. Three of them killed themselves in the court of my father, the Emperor. Who are you? Don't try to confuse this king! Take it down for me!"
As soon as the knife and axe man heard the order, he hurriedly stepped forward, but the aisle of the city wall was narrow and only allowed for a single person, so he lined up in a neat row. At this moment, Bai Qing smiled slightly, raised his hand and made a gesture.
The next moment, "Bell bell bell!"
A neat row of leather helmets were nailed to the wall, and the same feathered arrows penetrated the wall a foot!
Li Yuanjue was also uncomfortable, the red jade at the top of the silver helmet was shot, and the red tassel was nailed to the wall behind him!
"Bai Qing for my father Bai Rong, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bring a message to the Emperor of Northern Xia. Regardless of the Bai family, the land of the Eastern Song Dynasty cannot tolerate other countries. ”
Seeing Li Yuanjue standing on the spot, Bai Qing walked up to him and raised his hand to straighten the silver helmet for him.
"Now, with your soldiers, how did you come and how you go back, I will keep you safe! Otherwise, I can do not leave a single one!"
After Bai Qing finished speaking, he looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince without blinking.
At this time, Li Yuanjue was struggling in his heart, and he was worried about the kindness of the Bai family. But he was born in the emperor's family, and he is the crown prince. Strong enemies are around, like walking on thin ice.
This time, the national teacher destroyed the Bai family, and the domestic crowd was excited to fight countless times. He was also carried to the battlefield. Now that he has not lost any troops, he will return to the DPRK directly, and he must be in the name of fearing war.
"No, no, I can't just do that. But Bai Qingzhi couldn't help but believe it, the feather arrow shot from nowhere was enough to shoot the person who came up. ”
Li Yuanjue's heart was inconclusive, his face changed, and his palms were pinched into cold sweat. Bai Qing saw it in his eyes, knowing that there were people in Shuying City who dared to assassinate him on the street, and the battle for the heir in Northern Xia must be very hot.
"If you're hesitant, I'll give you some determination. ”
Bai Qing didn't say anything more, got up from the battlement, and stepped out of the city. In the frightened and stunned gaze of everyone, the silver light package flew into the distance.
With a cup of tea, a huge silver plate flew from afar. Suspended in the sky above Tanyuan City, the archers of the two hundred god crossbow battalions are condescending!
"Bell!"
Bai Li took the lead with an arrow and nailed it to the giant bell of the bell tower!
Immediately, the huge bell in the center of the city began to roar! As the Yuehua silver plate carried two hundred archers around the bell tower, the bell stopped.
Li Yuanjue looked at the giant bell that was shot into a hedgehog, and finally sat down.
