Just when the eldest grandson Wuji was concentrating on observation, Li Shimin had already led a hundred soldiers from the Tang State Mansion and forty-two Gaofu soldiers who were good at archery, trotting forward, gradually exceeding the convoy.

Behind the convoy, there were one hundred and twenty people commanded by Gao Fu, and thirty corpses of ink armor were behind the palace, and the armor they used was also a broken front. With the formation of the 'square circle' in the Great Sui military system, he was escorting the carriage located on the inside. In addition, there are twenty iron horsemen in bright suits led by Li Yan, cruising on the side.

The eldest grandson Wuji pondered for a moment and began to observe the surrounding terrain again. This is a shock plain, and for some reason, no one has cultivated the fields here. To their south, there was a growing stretch of river flats, and to the east of them, a thick forest. The Chi Road next to it diverges with the Fen River here and turns to the southeast.

This also means that it is impossible for the other party to outflank the rear.

In the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, a strange color suddenly flashed, thinking that the other party's Bufu still had such a flaw-

At this moment, Li Shimin's clear voice sounded in front again.

"Stop!

The eldest grandson Wuji turned his eyes and saw that eighty steps in front of the convoy, the one hundred and forty-three people, including Li Shimin, had already stopped, each with a bow.

All of them used the projectile method, and they all pointed their bows and arrows far into the sky. Only the forty armored divisions lowered the angle of the big bow in their hands slightly.

"1,200 steps away, target enemy formation, diffuse!"

In an instant, one hundred and sixty-three arrows flew into the air. Then, in just one breath, he crossed 1,200 steps and fell into the enemy's formation.

This immediately caused dozens of screams and wails, and the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the opposite side from afar, only to see that at least more than 70 people had fallen in the enemy formation. And there are at least twenty pieces of ink armor, which are only targeted by these arrows.

And just four breaths later, the second wave of arrows has also hit,

Due to the dense enemy formation, those armor soldiers led by Li Shimin did not need to deliberately aim at all. Just open the bow and pull the arrow, and there is a seventy percent chance of hitting.

At this time, the opposite side reacted, on the one hand, the formation was scattered, and on the other hand, the archers were also organized.

In the enemy's formation, he also carried a number of bows and arrows, numbering two hundred. However, these arrows, before they approached the convoy, had fallen sparsely and in a wide range, many of which were sixty or seventy feet away from the convoy. Only a few of them reached the target, but they were all intercepted and shot down by the Gaofu soldiers in the rear, and there was no threat.

Not only are the archery skills of the two sides different, but the bows they use also reveal a huge gap in the counter-shooting.

The bandits on the opposite side are all using the Divine Arm Bow that is commonly used in the Great Sui Army today. Among them, the bow power of the auxiliary soldiers is up to three stones, and the armor division is as high as fifteen stones, and the range can reach up to 1,000 steps.

And the bows used by their Bohai Gao clan and the Tang State Mansion are also divine arms, but they are all the best in the bows. The auxiliary bow can reach five stones, and the armor bow is more than twenty stones, especially the latter, which can penetrate a steel plate three inches thick within 1,400 steps.

"The Li family in Longxi really lives up to its name. Just talk about this shooting method, the world will be the goalkeeper, I am afraid that there is no other!"

Gao Shilian couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, he found that their Bohai Gao clan's family soldiers were also elite. But these so-called 'good shooting' people are a little inferior to the ordinary parts of Tang Guogong Li Mansion.

This can be seen in the results of the battle between the two sides. After two rounds of fire, another sixty or seventy fell on the opposite side.

The enemy formation on the opposite side, although it has already dispersed as much as possible. But the armor of Tang Guofu can still have gains. Ten arrows are thrown, and three or five people can always be hit.

But Gao's family soldiers can only be two or three out of ten.

However, these 140 people, under Li Shimin's orders, have obviously slowed down the speed of firing arrows, and they are only mainly used for deterrence.

Gao Shilian knows this, the military heavy bows are all heavy and powerful, the range and lethality are very great, but for the shooter's arm muscles and lower back, it is also a heavy burden.

Therefore, a normal man in the prime of life, after reasonable training, can only open the bow at most 30 times a day without damaging the muscles and bones. And if it is a continuous rapid fire, this number will be reduced accordingly.

Of course, the elite soldiers of the Tang State Mansion and the Bohai Gao clan are naturally different from ordinary soldiers. These people all practice the body refining skills inherited by the major generals, and their bones, fascia and qi are far stronger than ordinary people. Some of those who have cultivated to a high level even have inner breath in their bodies.

But even so, these people fired their bows sixty times a day, which was almost to the limit.

Although Li Shimin is young, he is obviously a person who knows the soldiers, and he has always controlled the shooting rhythm very well.

He smiled again, and asked the eldest grandson Wuji: "How do you feel Wuji?"

"It's me who underestimated him, and I'm too reserved. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight hint of shame in his eyes. He thought to himself that the terrain of this beach was just right for these armor soldiers of the Tang Kingdom Mansion to play their marksmanship.

The slump ground here certainly made it inconvenient for the convoy to move, but the heavy ink armor on the other side was obviously more affected.

Originally, with the speed of the opposing ink armor and a distance of 1,200 paces, the archer could only shoot four times in a row at most. But in this river beach, it is enough for these armor soldiers of the Tang State Mansion to shoot more than nine times in a row!

And these 1,200 arrows can already blow the rabble on the opposite side to the point of collapse!

Sure enough, the rumors should not be believed, this second son of Tang Guogong seems to be lazy and unreliable. But when facing the enemy, he reacted quickly and dealt with it well-

Thinking of this, Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head violently and waved away these thoughts for the time being. Then he threw the horse lance in his hand on the car, turned around and went straight to the direction of Li Shimin.

"Uncle sit down, and the child will help him. ”

He noticed that the one hundred and forty armor soldiers under the command of Li Shimin had all discarded their weapons, and they had nothing with them except for a bow and sixty arrows.

And just after these few volleys, their convoy not only left the bandits in the rear far behind, but also exceeded the array of these armorers by seventy feet.

Gao Shilian looked at the back of the eldest grandson Wuji, and couldn't help laughing, his nephew certainly had some problems with arrogance. But once he realizes his mistakes, he will correct them in time, without caring about his face or anything.

At this time, Guanyin's maid also poked her head out from the rear and asked worriedly: "Uncle, do you think we can escape safely this time?"

"I'm sure I'll be safe!"

Gao Shilian's voice responded decisively: "Guanyin doesn't need to worry, we are lucky this time, this Li Jiaerlang is well versed in the art of war, and he will definitely be able to break the enemy." ”

But then he didn't know what he thought, but there was a bit of gloom in his eyes, and his expression was slightly angry.

※ ※ ※

Also in a state of annoyance, there are also Gao Lin and Luo Bing.

At this time, their formation was not only thrown away by the convoy, but they were not even far from being dispersed.

Under the blow of the arrows on the opposite side, all the departments in front of them invariably slowed down the pace of pursuit, even if the people they sent to give orders tried their best to rectify and urge. The formation gradually dispersed, and the nature of the rabble was undoubtedly exposed.

Such a situation was something they had never imagined before. More than 2,000 people pursued violently, but they couldn't even get close to the convoy.

However, considering that if they wanted to pursue their opponents, then there was no other way than to follow from the rear, and the mood of the two was slightly better.

"This time I was careless. ”

Gao Lin first examined himself, he didn't expect that the ambush place he chose would have such flaws.

At that time, he only felt that this dense forest, just between the two post stations, could be used for Tibetan soldiers, and the terrain was narrow, which was an excellent place for interception. didn't expect that this Fen River, which passed by, would give Gao Shilian and others a glimmer of life.

"But it has come to this, and it is useless to regret it. Brother Luo, I don't know how your subordinates are archery, maybe they are compared to the other side?"

Luo Bing shook his head coldly: "The Li family in Longxi has been famous for archery for generations. The family soldiers of the Tang Guofu also dominate the Kansai with their archery methods, and are known as the first generals in the world."

Although the soldiers under his command are also elite in a hundred battles, they are better at charging through formations and fighting in close quarters, rather than archery.

Even if he is good at it, it is impossible to win against the elite soldiers of Tang Guofu in the confrontation.

Gao Lin sighed, he had actually expected this result: "Then I can only bother Brother Luo and personally lead the army to attack." ”

He can only hope for the 200 border troops under Luo Bing's command now.

The current situation has reached the point where it is irretrievable unless these 200 elites come forward.

Luo Bing didn't say a word, silently put down his armor, and then carried a heavy axe and came to the phalanx composed of a group of black-armored soldiers.

When the eldest grandson Wuji rushed to Li Shimin's side, it happened that the latter was giving orders again.

"Seven hundred paces away, free scatter!"

At a distance of seven hundred paces, there is no need to use the projectile method. And the superb archery skills of the Tang Guofu armor are even more powerful at this distance.

After this rain of arrows, there were a total of more than 100 people on the opposite side, and 17 ink armors fell.

The eldest grandson Wuji saw that Li Shimin was deliberately letting the opponent approach. Although the projectile method can also damage the enemy from a distance of 1,200 miles, the accuracy is worrying, and it is difficult to accurately hit those scattered enemies.

He also stretched out his bow and arrows, and a mountain armor in the distance suddenly fell in response. The sharp three-edged iron arrow directly penetrated this civilian ink armor, stirring up a spark.

And just when the eldest grandson Wuji was about to say something, Li Shimin had already received the longbow behind his back.

"The whole team retreats, jog and follow!"

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be stunned: "This is leaving?

Of course, he had noticed that the two hundred black-clad armor soldiers in the back of the opponent were now forming a shield formation and slowly moving forward.

But although this shield array is strong and not afraid of bows and arrows, but it is slow to advance, they can still shoot for another while.

Li Shimin glanced at him, but he still replied kindly: "The camp of Longquan Yingyang Mansion is seventy-two miles away, so we don't need to take risks. ”
