Chapter 245 Making Arrows

Li Qing looked at the cavalry of the three races that were gradually approaching, his face showed curiosity, he also wanted to try what these alien cavalry were capable of.

Seeing that the enemy was about to approach, Li Qing took off the bow and arrow on his back, Li Qing's archery skills were not proficient, which was always laughed at by Meng Ying, but unfortunately even if he had a good teacher, Li Qing still couldn't do it with a hundred shots, this point, Li Qing was also very helpless, even if he threw stones, Li Qing could ensure the accuracy, but just this archery, Li Qing had no progress.

Among the three tribes, the best at riding and archery is the Xianbei people, they use bows made of horns, using animal bones as arrows, pure archery, the Xianbei people are even stronger than the Huns.

In addition to the Xianbei people, the Ding Ling and the Qian are not good at riding and shooting, the Ding Ling people like to throw javelins, the so-called javelin, is a short spear with a length of six feet, each soldier of the Ding Ling tribe behind him, each carrying six javelins, in their hands, the power of the javelin is far greater than the bow and arrow.

The Qiang people like to use a straight knife for melee combat, and their melee combat skills are very different, which is very different from the average nomadic people, and the Qiang people also wear iron armor, and it is not known how they refined iron tools.

When the distance between the two sides was still more than two hundred meters, the Xianbei cavalry who rushed to the front had already begun to draw their bows and arrows and shoot at the Qin army.

The soldiers of the Qin army were not to be outdone, since they had a saddle, the cavalry and archery skills of the Qin army had been greatly improved, and they were not weaker than the Huns, coupled with the Qin army's standard longbow in the range and quasi-head was far stronger than the horn bow in the hands of the Xianbei cavalry, and the two sides fought at first glance, and the Xianbei cavalry fell into disadvantage.

"Whoosh"

In a round of arrow rain of the Qin army, more than a dozen of the Xianbei cavalry fell, and on the Qin army's side, only one person fell to the ground and died because he was shot in the face, and the other Qin troops, even if they were hit by arrows, relied on excellent armor, but they only suffered a little injury.

"Retreat."

Li Qing ordered the Qin army to fight and retreat, hanging the foreign cavalry from afar, the range of the Xianbei cavalry's bow and arrow was not as good as the Qin army, and they could only be beaten for a while, and they could not fight back, and the Ding Ling cavalry and the Qian cavalry were even more helpless, so they could only pat their horses and chase closely.

"Damn the Qin people."

Xianbei general Shi Cong patted the BMW under his crotch, dragged a spear, and chased after the Qin army, the arrows shot by the Qin army at him were easily dodged by him, seeing that Shi Cong was chasing closer and closer, Li Qing patted Chifeng, Chifeng understood, turned the horse's head, and rushed back against Shi Cong.

Shi Cong was overjoyed when he saw Li Qing turn around, he saw that Li Qing was the leader of the Qin army, if he could defeat Li Qing, for Shi Cong, it would really be a great achievement.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Shi Cong, Li Qing put his hand on the hilt of Tai'a Sword.

"Hahaha, the Qin people are killed."

Shi Cong let out an excited cry from his mouth, clenched his spear, and stabbed at Li Qing.

The corners of Li Qing's mouth hooked up a disdainful smile, just when the spear was about to stab Li Qing's body, Li Qing made a move, and the Tai'a sword was unsheathed, only to see a cold light flashing, Shi Cong felt a light in his hand, it turned out that the spear was cut in half by Li Qing's Tai'a sword.

"What?"

Shi Cong's eyes were full of shock, and the next moment, the two horses intersected, and the Tai'a sword in Li Qing's hand slowly slashed across Shi Cong's neck, and Shi Cong's body separated and died in Li Qing's hands.

Li Qing killed Shi Cong, and the cavalry of the Qian and Ding Ling tribes also took the opportunity to catch up, and when the Qin army saw this, they put down their bows and arrows, drew their swords to meet the enemy, and killed the cavalry of the two tribes.

"Bell"

The general of the Qiang tribe brandished a long knife and slashed at Li Qing, Li Qing waved his sword to parry, and the long knife slashed at Li Qing's Tai'a sword, and suddenly a big gap broke out, the general of the Qiang tribe wore a silver mask on his face, Li Qing couldn't see his expression clearly, but Li Qing knew that he must be very surprised at this time, but Li Qing didn't want to give him a chance to be surprised, brandished the Tai'a sword, and slashed directly at the chest of the general of the Qiang tribe.

This general of the Qiang tribe is also a good skill, and he quickly calmed down, knowing that Li Qing's sword was sharp, the general of the Qiang nationality did not dare to fight hard, so he turned over and fell off the horse directly, and after avoiding Li Qing's attack, he jumped on the war horse with the tail of the war horse, and slashed at Li Qing, who was already facing away from him.

Li Qing noticed the sound of the strong wind behind him, and hurriedly leaned over to dodge, at this moment, Chifeng suddenly raised a back kick, and kicked the butt of the war horse of the general of the Liang tribe, this kick came too suddenly, the general of the Liang tribe did not expect that there was such a strange war horse, and without defense, the war horse of the Qian tribe under his crotch was kicked over, and the general of the Qian tribe was thrown out directly, fell heavily in the chaos, and was trampled to death by the war horse of a Ding Ling cavalry who had no time to react.

After Li Qing killed the two Qiang cavalry with a sword, he turned around and saw that the Qiang general was trampled to death, and there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes, but he didn't expect this Qiang general, who seemed to be not weak, to die so dramatically under the horse of his ally.

The two sides fought together, and after fighting for about a stick of incense, only a dozen cavalry members of the three clans fled in disarray, and the rest were all killed, while the Qin army only killed five people.

Li Qing stopped the Qin army who was about to pursue and said, "Okay, it's time for us to go back to the pass." ”

After Li Qing returned to the pass with the Qin army, he immediately ordered the whole army to be on alert and prepare to resist the enemy's attack.

"General, arrows, rolling stones, wood, and fire oil are too expensive, and it is difficult to find enough to defend the city in a short time."

A small colonel of Qin Jun came to Li Qing's side and said, his eyes full of uneasiness.

Li Qing frowned, now that the arsenal of the Qin army has long been emptied, is there any craftsman in Yanmen who can make arrows, and all equipment can only rely on the supply of Shangjun, but the armament of Shangjun cannot be replenished now, and the armament that can be distributed to Yanmen is even less.

Li Qing found a disciple of the Mo family and asked him if he could make arrows.

This Mo family disciple was specially sent by Meng Yi to help Li Qing, after listening to Li Qing's request, the Mo family disciple shook his head and said: "Arrow feathers and arrow shafts are easy to find, only this arrow cluster needs a lot of copper, we don't have copper, we can't make arrows." ”

Li Qing thought for a while and said, "Didn't we collect a lot of weapons from the Loulan people? Dissolve them and make clusters of arrows, and there are many trees in Yanmen, which can be used to make arrow shafts, and I will allocate three hundred men to make ten thousand arrows in ten days. ”

When the Mo family disciple heard this, his face showed a solemn expression, but in the end, he still nodded and said, "Zheng Qiu obeys orders. ”

"Zheng Qiu, good name."

Li Qing said with a smile, he felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, there was no image in his mind.

Li Qing naturally didn't know that this Zheng Qiu was the ancestor of the Northern Sword Casting Gate in later generations, he created the northern school of sword casting, this school of thought, far-reaching influence, he relied on his unique forging technique to defeat the southern sword casting master who liked to use blood sacrifice to cast swords, and became a sect master.
