Chapter Twenty-Six: The Seven Stone Bows
The moonlight is quiet among the mountains.
Jiang Kai was suddenly stunned during the pursuit, and fell into a state of chaos, and when he woke up slightly, he felt a splitting headache, and the heavy armor on his body comforted his body, and it was difficult to even move. hasn't reacted to where he is, maybe he just thought that he was seriously injured on the battlefield and had been pampered since he was a child, so he subconsciously snorted:
"Water ......"
Under the big pine tree, Xu Buling woke up when he saw the tied meat ticket, got up and came to the horse, and looked at Jiang Kai who was wearing a cloak:
"His Royal Highness, are you awake?"
"Hmm...... Well?! β
Jiang Kai heard the unfamiliar accent, woke up in an instant, turned over and wanted to retreat, but unfortunately his hands and feet were tied to the horse's back, but he shook weakly twice, and the armor on his body rubbed and made a 'whoosh' sound.
Jiang Kai opened his eyes, looked to the side in horror, and looked at the handsome son who was strange in front of him, and his face turned pale. He naturally recognized that this was Xu Buling, the prince of King Su who he was chasing, and hurriedly said loudly:
"Someone! Escort! β
The sound was so loud that it frightened the horses a few times.
Xu Buling raised his hand and knocked on the door of Jiang Kai's head: "What are you yelling about?" No one will come to your rescue if you cut your throat. β
Jiang Kai snorted, his mind gradually cleared up, and he also found that he was in the barren mountains and mountains, and he was still tied up, and he understood that he had been captured. Since he was a child, he still has the ability to judge the situation, and he hurriedly said:
"Xu Shizi, I don't know Mount Tai ...... under my eyes"
Xu Buling's face was grim: "Jiang Shizi, is it useful for you to say this?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Jiang Kai had already seen Xu Buling's skills and knew that there was no hope of getting out alone, but there was no fear on his face. After all, since the Zhou Dynasty, the sons of the princes have not been directly killed when they are captured, and it is meaningless to kill them except to boost the morale of the opponent, and the living are more valuable than the dead.
Knowing that he didn't have a chance to be martyred, Jiang Kai didn't talk nonsense, and said cleanly:
"Xu Shizi, I admit it, you make a condition to send it to the Qi army camp, as long as it is reasonable, my father will not shirk it."
Xu Buling nodded with satisfaction: "It's good to know each other, when you get to Luliang Mountain, you can write a letter to your father to report your safety, as for the conditions, I think about it and tell you." β
When Jiang Kai heard this, his face changed slightly: "If you take me to Luliang Mountain, it will be in the hands of the Song family, the Song family's condition must be for me to withdraw from the army, and I will never stop for me in the battle of recovering the country, won't I be able to go back in this life?" β
Xu Buling shook his head: "Not necessarily, you Northern Qi is fierce enough to destroy Da Yue, and you can still live." Or be beaten back to Mobei, and you can be sent back when the war is armistice. β
Jiang Kai's eyes were anxious: "Xu Shizi, they are all princes, don't do things so desperately, you are pushing me to death." You bring me back to Xiliang, with my identity, I can at least cut one or two cities to your Xu family, and if you give me to Chang'an, you can't exchange Mao. β
"I captured you alive on the battlefield on the battlefield, I can't hide the news, and I secretly brought you back to Xiliang, did you want to create a rebellion for the imperial court?"
"Your Xu family is like this, sooner or later you will have to rebel against ......"
"What, you still want to persuade me to surrender to Northern Qi and help you restore Northern Qi?"
ββ¦β¦β
Jiang Kai's words were choked, knowing that it was useless to say more, his face sank: "You know my identity, my father will never let go, you camp here to rest, it must be far away from the Luliang Mountain military camp." If you rush to Luliang Mountain, wait for the people who rescued me to arrive, you know what will happen to you, you let me go now, and you may escape back......"
Xu Buling spread his hand slightly: "You'd better hope that the chasing soldiers can't catch up, if I can't take you away, I will definitely slaughter you first." β
"You ......"
β¦β¦
Under the bright moonlight, Ning Qingye was wrapped in a blanket, standing beside Xu Buling, and two big men were noisy. After waiting for a long time, seeing that it was endless, he raised his hand and knocked on the hilt of a sword on Jiang Kai's head.
Jiang Kai, who was about to continue to coerce and lure, shook his head a few times, and then fell softly on the horse's back.
Xu Buling was stunned for a moment, and turned his head: "Qingye, what are you doing?" β
Ning Qingye put away the saber, tightened the blanket on his body, and said in a calm tone: "A meat ticket, what are you doing with him so much?" Words die early. β
οΌ
Xu Buling frowned and thought for a while, as if he had this statement, and chuckled: "It's the first time we meet, let's talk more." β
"The first time we met, you tied them up?"
"You and I met for the first time, didn't you tie me up too."
ββ¦β¦β
Ning Qingye was speechless, snorted softly, went back to the big tree, opened the blanket, and looked like he was waiting for Xu Buling to lean in and continue to chatter.
Xu Buling understood in his heart, how could there be a girl in the world who was fun, he didn't pay attention to Jiang Kai anymore, and walked to Qingye's side. It's just that without Jiang Kai's noise, the mountains and fields are quiet, and there is a sudden 'rustling' sound in the distance, like a snake crawling across the grass, very subtle, but it is also very abrupt in the silent and snowy night.
Xu Buling's expression changed, and without hesitation, he pulled Ning Qingye and turned over on the wind chasing horse.
Although Ning Qingye didn't see any movement, he reacted very quickly, knowing that the pursuers had arrived, he flew on the white horse, and continued to flee west with Xu Buling.
It was also at this moment that in the snow forest on the side of the mountain, there was a sharp sound of 'Sa-', and an iron arrow broke through the air. Obviously, the pursuers who touched it found that Xu Buling had escaped, and moved directly.
The pitch-black feather arrow flew by under the moonlight, the speed was unbelievable, Ning Qingye had already arrived close before he could see clearly, and Qingquan's eyes showed a little consternation.
However, this arrow must have been aimed at Xu Buling, Ning Qingye didn't even have time to shout carefully, and the sword was only half unsheathed.
Xu Buling had already taken precautions when he heard the movement, and raised his hand to slash at the source of the sound, but he never thought that the power of the arrow he shot was too amazing, and he actually hit his single knife off the wrong point.
Dingββ
The fine iron feather arrow sparked on the blade, changed its direction slightly, almost brushed against Xu Buling's cheek, poured into the large pine tree next to it, and still shot through the trunk even though it was blocked by a single knife.
With such a strong force, not only Ning Qingye, but Xu Buling was shocked into a cold sweat.
Mixed in the military since childhood, Xu Buling has a deep understanding of bows and crossbows, this kind of power is by no means an ordinary three-stone hard bow shot, and the five-stone bow does not have such great strength.
One stone and one hundred and twenty catties, it is not enough to open the bow, and you have to take a hundred steps to pass through Yang to be considered an archer.
In the contemporary army, those who can use three-stone bows are already top archers, and those who use five-stone bows are one out of ten thousand, and among the four-way generals of the Xiliang Army, only Tu Qianchu can open a five-stone bow.
And the sharpshooters on the top are even rarer than the contemporary Wu Kui. Under the account of the right prince of Northern Qi, there is a fierce general called 'Divine Arrow Yang Kuan', who can use a seven-stone bow, has a clear record, and shoots the general of Dayue Pass a mile away, and becomes famous all over the world with one arrow, and his reputation is so great that even the Xiliang Army is well known.
The strength of the Seven Stone Bow is greater than the 'Divine Arm Crossbow' opened by the two of them, and there is almost no one who can use this thing on Da Yue's side, and there is only one Yang Kuan on the Northern Qi side. In contemporary Wu Kui, there may be a few people who can pull the seven-stone bow, but it is two different things to be able to shoot after pulling it apart and pulling it apart.
Xu Buling grew up in the army since he was a child, and his archery skills did not have to be bad with fists and feet, he could pull out the seven-stone bow and shoot it, but the bow was not in his hand now.
Yang Kuan was killed half a mile away, but ordinary iron armor couldn't stop it, and the arrow Xu Buling was gone. And even if Xu Buling uses his strength to eat, it is impossible to hit Yang Kuan, who is half a mile away.
Under the huge gap in the attack distance, Xu Buling quickly rode his horse into the dense forest, and said urgently: "It's the divine arrow Yang Kuan, go ahead of me." β
Ning Qingye saw the power of the iron arrow, and already understood the strength of the opponent, she would definitely not be able to stop her, so she didn't dare to be strong, so she quickly pulled Jiang Kai's horse and ran to the front to lead the way.
Xu Buling rode the wind chasing horse upside down, sat in turn, and cautiously stared at the mountains and forests behind him with a single knife in hand.
The opponent who chased over was obviously not an ordinary cavalry, there were only three of them, except for Yang Kuan, the arrow who was the first to release the arrow, and three people showed their figures under the moonlight, one holding a scimitar body as light as a swallow, and the remaining one was sturdy, carrying a big gun, a little slower, but it was by no means a mediocre hand, and he was walking on the ground among the mountains.
It is true that the chasing horse runs fast, but it is on the plain of a horse and a flat river, and it is not easy to find a road in the rugged mountains and forests, and the size is too large to affect the flexibility, and the running is definitely not as fast as the two masters of the rivers and lakes to sprint with all their might.
Ning Qingye unsheathed his long sword, looked back, and saw that the pursuers were very fast, and said anxiously:
"Xu Buling, the road is not good and you can't get rid of it, what should I do?"
As he spoke, another arrow struck, shooting a brown wind-chasing horse carrying Jiang Kai.
Xu Buling slashed at the shaft of the arrow with all his strength, and the iron arrow deviated from the direction and drove into the ground, directly into the ground, and even the arrow feathers did not sink into the soil.
The terrain is not good, and there are archers in the dark who are ready to attack, fleeing with their backs to the pursuers, Chen Daozi is a lesson from the past.
Xu Buling saw that the situation was not good, and immediately jumped off the horse: "You find cover, just pay attention to the bow and arrows, and leave the rest to me." As he spoke, he rushed towards the two pursuers.
Ning Qingye did not hesitate, jumped off the horse with his sword, and under the cover of Xu Buling, pulled two horses to hide behind the depression of the mountain range......
