Prologue Chapter 65 Ancient Secret Realm VIII The Kite Flying Archer

Huang He, who was born as a professional soldier, received his amateurish remarks, and looked at him with contempt: "Haven't you ever fought a war? Isn't a light cavalry fighting like archery? As long as you can shoot a rain of arrows, you will grind off the opponent little by little. How does this end? And that's just the beginning. The following chase is the big show! But the more than 200 tigers are in big trouble. One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted. The white-robed general of the other party is powerful, and the enemy is like a god, and the military marquis is all calculated to death by him. ”

Despised by others, although Su Wen was unhappy, he couldn't help but wonder, and asked him again: "These people are running like wearing flowers, I haven't counted them for a long time, how do you know that there are more than two hundred?"

Hearing this, Huang He simply rolled his eyes neatly. Apparently annoyed by his ignorance, I really didn't bother to discuss these idiotic issues with him. With a light snort, he pulled down his face and looked at the battle below.

The top of the cliff was too far away from the battlefield, Su Mei's eyes were not good, and he could barely distinguish a group of cavalry running around, thinking that Su Wen would give her the sights, but he always dominated the sights, completely selfless of his own hints. The most excessive thing is not only that I can't understand it, but I also ask some idiotic questions. I really couldn't bear it, so I snatched his sights with my hand, and said angrily: "I don't know if I can't see clearly?" picked up the sights and looked at them for a while, then remembered his question, his tone was a little stiff, and said: "I don't understand anything, I still have to dominate a mirror, I don't look at it? There are regulations in the military system, five people and a team, there are captains, ten people and a tithe, there are captains, there are hundreds of people in a tun, there are tun chiefs, two hundred people a song, and there are military marquis. The following four team flags, aren't there just over 200 people? Look at their banners, but they are the Tiger Army, how can the most well-equipped Royal Forbidden Army fight so badly? Oh no, the archers have been exchanged for half of it, and this is over..."

Su Wen was robbed of the sight by Su Mei, and Su Wen, who usually always let Su Mei, can only circle around Su Mei in a hurry, waiting for her to get the sight back after she finishes it.

Tang Ruirui, who didn't like killing, looked at him spinning around, dizzy, and thought to herself that you don't know about military affairs, just to watch a show, why can't you give the sights to the professionals? I couldn't help but feel sorry for Su Mei: "What else does Su Shaoxia watch? You don't understand military affairs, and you watch it in vain." ”

Su Wen often heard similar words, mostly saying that what else would you do besides fighting? Now it's even worse, I don't even understand fighting, and I am ashamed of what Su Wen said.

Tang Ruirui is a straightforward person who loves and hates clearly, and when he thinks about it, he bluntly says: "Since neither of us knows anything about fighting, why don't we find another way? It's not safe to go down from here, what if someone finds out? You have to weigh yourself first, you can't show the courage of a puppet in the battle array, don't give your life in vain!!"

I opened a wound and sprinkled you with a handful of salt. Tang Ruirui didn't know that Su Wen was just an ordinary and even somewhat humble person, who was under tremendous pressure and pain in his life, and he couldn't see any hope of reaching any happy end when he was struggling to move forward. Even if there is some hope now, the lovers are still leaving. Although he knew that Tang Ruirui didn't know how to hide his words, and he didn't have any bad intentions, the lethality of words was sometimes greater than that of knives and guns. Su Wen was ashamed and angry, and he didn't know how to refute, but he felt that his heart was like a vicious wave crashing against the reef, stirring the sky, and he couldn't grasp the direction.

Zhang Ziling noticed his abnormality and comforted him: "I'm just watching a lively scene, this battle formation and riding skills will take at least a few years to practice." Brother Su doesn't have to worry, if you are interested in war, I will help you find a book of war when you go back. ”

I sincerely asked for advice, but I was robbed by these people in turn, and my only self-confidence in life was questioned, and when I heard Zhang Ziling's relief, I felt that he was satirizing his ignorance.

On the battlefield, guns and arrows are added, and the vivid and real life dissipates instantly. Although the bow and arrow are not like a knife and axe, the torso can be shattered, and the internal organs of the stump can be thrown away. But the neat and orderly, cold mechanical slaughter also has rivers of blood and countless sufferings. The blood sparked a deep resonance in Su Wen's heart, and he suddenly had the urge to rush down to satisfy his desire to kill, at this moment, it seemed that only by wiping out life with his own hands could bring the ultimate pleasure.

I thought: just leave, and the faint idea of ending all unhappiness came to me.

At dusk, he couldn't tell whether it was the sunset or blood, and Su Wen only had blood-red earth in his eyes......

Got the high-powered sights, and Su Meizheng watched the battle with joy. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he faintly noticed that Su Wen had violent fluctuations in his emotions. I was secretly surprised, how could I feel his emotions when I didn't look at him? I secretly glanced at him from the corner of my eye, oh, this good old man actually had a straight face and sulked sometimes? I don't know what the problem is, and I feel inexplicably panicked. I wanted to ask him again, but I was afraid that I would accidentally stimulate him. Then he touched him lightly with his elbow and said cautiously, "Okay... I'm not going to snatch your mirror... Fighting is not something you learn in a day or two, you have no training, and if you don't understand, you should ask me..."

Su Mei's words fluttered lightly like a cool breeze through her heart that was about to go berserk, interrupting Su Wen's process of sliding down the dark abyss. The sweet smile that followed was like a rain sprinkled on the mountain fire, and he turned in a different direction with his heart. Su Wen calmed down for a moment, he woke up, and looked at her gratefully, the two of them just looked at each other, Su Mei's eyes were as clear as water, and she was extremely simple and pure. Su Wen felt guilty, and gradually abandoned the idea of embracing his dark side, and no longer thought about the abyss path to prove himself by force and killing. Opposing oneself is just the reality of ordinary people enjoying it. It also makes Su Wenwen white and simple, and the world can not compete with it.

Su Mei saw that his eyes were bloodshot and his face was pale, as if he was trying to suppress some emotion. Wait for him to soften down. While he is not paying attention, make a vicious appearance to everyone, and signal not to make him angry again.

After a short period of distraction, he returned to a desireless and rigid state of mind, and gradually realized in his heart. As a professional gladiator, the cold weapon war in front of him is the pinnacle of fighting technology. Witnessing the life-and-death struggle with real knives and guns splashed with flesh and blood, I recalled why I was obsessed with fighting when I was a child. Only then do we know the meaning of the existence of fighting and fighting, fighting is the most fundamental way of resistance in human life, with indomitable resistance, life can continue, the history of human beings, but also the history of human struggle. Only then did I understand what Taizu said about struggling with the sky, the joy is endless! Struggling with the earth, the joy is endless! Struggling with people, the joy is endless! I realized that killing and being killed, or fighting to the death, is my fate...

Su Wen and Su Mei glanced at each other again and smiled knowingly. Look at the battlefield in a different state of mind. Seeing that the Tiger Ben army had already withdrawn from the battlefield in an orderly manner, he secretly wondered why Huang He said that the war had just begun? Since there was a professional who was willing to provide advice, Su Wen was no longer hypocritical, and quickly expressed the doubts in his heart.

Su Mei secretly considered his language and answered his question as carefully as possible: "Light cavalry wears leather armor in battle, with horned bows, short crossbows, and arrows75, plus other items, and the horses weigh more than 200 catties. ”

Paying close attention to his expression as he spoke, his brow gradually furrowed as he began to immerse himself in his words. Only then did he continue: "Light cavalry combat is mostly based on 70-step projectiles, and it is easy not to fight in close combat. Looking at the formation and habitual playing style of these two teams, they should have been equipped cavalry. Usually train and get used to charging through the formation. The military marquis below is indeed incompetent, not to mention the tactics of light cavalry, and he does not protect the archers when he is facing the enemy. In the blink of an eye, half of the archers were replaced with spears. When the other party raises good horsepower, it will naturally catch up. Most of the spearmen carry hard bows, and long-distance flat shooting is advantageous. Although the archer is a weak-horned bow, the arrow is light and easy to shoot far. The bow is weak but good for splashing. The female pawn has a light body and does not carry long and heavy weapons, so she can naturally carry more light arrows. The battle that followed was that the archers quickly met the enemy, and turned around and left after a round of arrows. If it weren't for the fact that it was getting late, this team would probably be more than lucky, and it would be up to a few people to escape. ”

Huang He heard the reasonableness of Su Mei's analysis, and also interjected: "Most of the border cities are light horses, and Su Mei is the leader in the bow and cavalry. Female archers have a fast rate of fire and have always been the main force against monsters and thieves. On the military marquis's side, if Fang Wenqing led the team, he would never put up a dense formation. He will be divided into four teams to cover each other, and who can restrain the horsepower better with the other party, shoot a round of arrows from a distance, and pass away, which is called kite warfare. You can play casually for a whole day, and even if you don't win, you will never lose. ”

As soon as the words fell, the white-robed general had already urged the military formation, and sure enough, as Su Mei said, he abandoned the formation, and the stragglers lined up to chase after him. The two sides chased and fled, and in order to save horsepower, they slowed down their horses from time to time and fought with bows and arrows. The strength of the archers in the white-robed general's army is complete, and once they shoot at each other, it will be a rain of arrows that break the sky, and after several engagements, more than a dozen people have been killed and wounded. Seeing that there was nothing to do, the military marquis found a small dirt slope. led a team of men and horses to dismount and form a formation, obviously to break their tails to survive. This military marquis did not choose to flee for his life, which made Su Wen admired.

Huang He praised "He is a good man!" Zhang Ziling disagreed, and said: "The Guankou is not tried, and the thief is unknown, this is called a mistake, and the offender will be beheaded." The rank of the tiger is higher than that of the county lieutenant, all of them are 200 stones, and so many people have died in this battle, and this military marquis will not be humiliated by martyrdom. ”

Tang Ruirui, who had annoyed Su Wen just now and was feeling a little guilty, looked at Su Wen and saw that he was still confused, thinking of taking the opportunity to make up for it, and said to Su Wen: "The salary of the pawn of the Tiger Ben Army is equivalent to that of a county lieutenant in a city of 10,000 people. If you go back, you will be beheaded, but it is better to fight to the death and die for the country, so that you will no longer be held accountable, and your family will not be implicated. ”

Just wondering why this military marquis didn't arrange to divide his troops and escape, Su Wen suddenly realized after listening to the explanation.

The two sides fled and fought all the way, and the place where the military marquis chose to form a formation was not far from the waterfall. A few people hid their figures, and by the last light of dusk, they could see everything on the battlefield. The white-robed general whistled to gather his generals, gave up chasing and killing deserters, and formed a long snake formation, connected from end to end, and surrounded a group of people from the military marquis.

Su Mei reminded Su Wendao: "Pay attention to the archers, that is, those slender female pawns who do not carry long weapons. They carry a number of soft bows, have a lot of arrows, and are good at rapid long-distance projectiles, and this kind of circular cavalry formation is the most effective. After speaking, he said fiercely: "How did this man become a military marquis? He should leave the bow and arrows, after fighting for so long, the arrows are almost used, and the strong archers are afraid that the strings will not be able to hold on." ”

The battle turned out as expected by the Soviet Union...

The spearmen who guarded the mound stood in a circle with shields and horses as cover. Those who remained in the middle were the strongest archers, picking up the twelve strong bows and drawing their bows to prepare for battle. It's a pity that the opponent's circular cavalry formation is tight, with spear riders running in the inner circle with shields and archers running in the outer ring. With the command of the spear cavalry suddenly formed a group to press, the strong archers on the side of the military marquis could only shoot arrows to fight, although there were many casualties, but the archers who followed were raised their hands was a round of throwing, and their own side would also be damaged, not to mention that the horses did not know how to dodge, and they were injured and kept fleeing, but rushed in a chaotic formation.

The same tactic was repeated many times in a row, and the strong archers shot twenty or thirty arrows, and could no longer draw their bows. The soft bows of the female archers have a slightly inferior range and little strength. But the bow is a series of three arrows, and the projectile does not need to be accurate, and it is all covered by the rain of arrows. A group of weak bow and light cavalry gradually pressed the strong archers to the point that they could not raise their heads, and after they were defeated, the military marquis could only raise their shields to parry. Seeing that he was about to be defeated, the military marquis remembered to make a desperate bet, and mounted his horse and rushed straight at the white-robed general with a spear. The white-robed and silver-speared general reined in the outside of the battle, and said with a smile: "The courage of the horseman........" It was dark, and a few people on the top of the cliff couldn't see the battle situation clearly, judging from the sound of horses' hooves and shouting and screaming, this team of tigers was more than lucky.

Zhang Ziling sighed leisurely: "The ancients did not deceive me, and sure enough, the arrogant army will be defeated." ”

Hearing that the battle was over, Su Wen asked what he had just said: "Why would they rather die in battle than flee?"

"How can a husband be greedy for life and afraid of death, naturally for the sake of dignity and honor" Zhang Ziling slandered the military marquis, but he did not hesitate to praise the soldiers.

"Whose honor and dignity, the emperor, the family, or himself?"

Zhao Shu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said in a trembling voice: "Fart, those who retreat without permission will be killed later." Naturally, they were afraid of torture under the Code of Martial Arts. Everyone heard her voice differently, and when they looked at her, they saw that her face was red, her red lips were as delicate as ripe cherries, and her eyes were as silky as silk, and she was slightly drunk without wine. Put your hands together and pray: "This white-robed general is so handsome! Bengong likes it, and asks Cangtian to give Bengong a chance, and Bengong wants to include him in the harem." ”

A group of people were thundered down by her, and they could only look at each other....

.......

Not far below the falls, a tributary joins the river and meanders its way up. There is a swamp overgrown with artemisia grass. A group of disorganized cavalry was repairing at the edge of the swamp under the cover of a tall artemisia. The young cavalry escaped, and sat around the campfire in despair, along with a few young robes. In order to run faster, except for bows and arrows and spears, everything that could be thrown was thrown. The cavalry looked around, but it was really a rout to throw away the armor, the weight of the leather armor and helmet was not light, so naturally throw these first. In the distance, the old soldiers did not rest, dragging their tired bodies, standing barefoot in the icy river water to brush the horses and feed the grass. Some scolded the young soldiers, saying that if they didn't care for their horses, they didn't care for their lives......

The map was in the hands of the military marquis, and the defeated soldiers were afraid to avoid the lower reaches of the river, and the upper reaches of the river were a cliff that stretched for hundreds of miles, and the horses could not go up. One of the tun commanders who survived by luck and the two teams were combined, leading the brigade around the branches of the river on the grassland, hoping to find their own team around the ruins. After walking for two days, I didn't expect to touch the edge of a large swamp, and I was in a dilemma.

The grass was still green, but there were more puddles on the ground, and the artemisia had absorbed enough water, and it grew tall and tough, and the striker who had just arrived at the swamp was in an unknown situation, and fell into the horse's feet, but fortunately, the robe reacted quickly, so that no horse was injured or injured.

Artemisia grass is so long that it obscures itself as well as the view. The young cavalry could only stand on horseback and look back and forth, hoping that the marquis would be able to turn evil into good fortune with the broken robes. Although the battle formation was inexperienced, the cavalry judged according to the experience of galloping horses and grasslands when they were young, and first blocked the opponent, and then scattered to run, no matter how bad it was, half of them could run out. After watching for a while, I saw waterfowl and falcons flying, but I didn't see my colleagues.

Before dismounting, he glanced at the fire pit next door, and the female archers, who had been beautiful and lively two days ago, were now unkempt, and they were really poor women without color. A few young girls they knew were sobbing quietly around the campfire, presumably with their friends and relatives in the robes of the dead, or worried about the future. It is no wonder that they were sad to hear that they had suffered 23 casualties, and that they had eaten and lived together for many years. Young cavalrymen don't think they're crying out of fear, because on the battlefield, fear only makes people die faster. I couldn't help but sigh, but fortunately, there was no chance to engage in battle in my team, only a few wounded soldiers. The other team of spearmen did not suffer much losses, and their strength was well preserved, so they only hoped that the generals would not make mistakes again......

Huang He was armed with a compound bow, carrying a pot of arrows, and carrying a sapper shovel. As he trotted along the tributary, he suddenly spotted a series of horseshoe marks on the ground. Stooping down to look around, he made out the direction and ran along the large number of horseshoe prints, seeing a few more discarded items along the way. I saw a grain bag from a distance, and when I opened it again, I found that it was a bag of beans, and I couldn't help but scold: "These old soldiers, dare to lose their horse rations?" He bent down again and touched the hoof prints and looked at the condition of the horse manure. Decided to stop, turned around and whistled as a birdsong.

When the people behind chased after him, he pointed to the horse manure and said: "I bumped into these people again, let's say they are lost when they go around!" After speaking, he raised the pocket in his hand and shook it, and said: "These people are in a panic, and they have lost even the millet, millet and hay of the horses, and they will definitely stop to replenish the horsepower tonight." ”

Su Wen took the map and looked at the position of the sun, and said: "Look at the direction of their travel, these people should rush into the swamp, if they want to meet, dusk can catch up with them." ”
