Chapter 10: One Arrow Through the Chest (I)

The sun is constantly rising, and the temperature is slowly rising. It makes people feel more and more stuffy.

Looking at the avenue to the west from the garrison official village, in the paddy fields on both sides of the road, the early rice is being filled, and the heavy ears of grain are gently swaying in the breeze.

The water is irradiated by the sun, which makes people feel extraordinarily hot, but fortunately, the people and horses lined up in the official village are not iron armor, but bamboo armor, otherwise, wait in line here, and wait for the people who are not waiting, I am afraid that a few people will be killed by the heat.

The bamboo armor worn by the soldiers was cut down from the green bamboos on the mountain, cut the bamboo into thin slices, and then boiled in lard, and every seven flakes were combined to make scale armor. According to him, some bandits in Guangxi were covered with bamboo armor made of bamboo chips boiled in lard, even if it was a 38 cover, it would be bounced off by the bamboo armor, and later, when they encountered such bandits, they simply threw them with grenades and bombarded.

Before, Ling Zheng and others proposed to forge iron armor, but they were vetoed by Li Shouhan, first, it was too late, and second, those steel Li Shouhan had other uses, where could he be willing to make armor? However, the soldiers' protective measures still had to be done, so this bamboo armor appeared. After testing, it has a good defensive effect against bows and arrows, even strong crossbows are difficult to shoot through, and it is light in weight and breathable, suitable for fighting in this subtropical region. The disadvantage is that the volume is a little larger.

Standing on the top of the city tower, Li Shouhan looked into the distance, the yellow-green paddy fields in the near distance, and the thick green mountains in the distance, all made people feel a vigorous vitality, "A qiē here belongs to me!" It will all be my help to change the direction of history, and anyone who wants to take it away will have to pay the price of his life! ”

Behind him, Zuo Tianpeng, Xu Huanshan, Wang Bao, Mo Jin, Mo Yu, Chen Tianhua and others stood solemnly on both sides with waist knives in their hands. Behind them, three soldiers stood densely packed. The dark red bamboo armor on his body and the eight-petal iron hat helmet on his head look like dark red pythons.

Shouhan made an exception today and put on the set of garrison armor left by his father, and he was wearing a big red cloak that Yan Mei'er had made overnight, which looked majestic.

A short Dian horse came galloping, and Hu Licheng on the horse ran to Shouhan panting, "My lord! The traitor has come! ”

"It's hard work! And just sit here and watch! With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Shouhan motioned for Hu Licheng to stand beside him. Hu Licheng glanced at the group of vicious men behind Shouhan, as well as the three soldiers and horses under the city tower, the corners of his mouth moved, and he stood behind Li Shouhan, standing with Zhang Yutian, Fu Bo, and those colleagues who had sworn allegiance to Li Shouhan not long ago.

"My lord, Hu has a reluctant request, and I hope your lord will agree."

"Hu Baihu, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"I thought that since I had followed the adult, I should follow the example of the adult and hand over the land to the military and civilian households for cultivation. However, the subordinates are stupid and don't know how to handle it, and they want to invite the adults, after today's affairs, send personnel to the small village to organize one or two. ”

You old fox! Ran ahead of us again! A few general flags scolded secretly in their hearts!

There was a noise in the distance, and it was obvious that a large group of people were coming.

Wearing iron armor is He Tianneng's watchman team, the three hundred ironclad soldiers he relied on to seek the position of garrison. The 300 men were armed with knives or guns, and the formation was scattered. Surrounded by He Tianlin, he came all the way.

Also riding a Dian horse was the head of the She tribe, Ngawang. He was short and stout, and his dark face had a greedy look. The five hundred Miao sword soldiers behind him carried four-foot-long Miao knives around their waists, and they swept towards the ground like a whirlwind.

"Lord He, we are, but there is, there is something to say," Ngawang's Chinese dialect was really not bad, "My son-in-law will help you sit on the throne of the garrison, and take care of the weapons in the stockade, half of which are mine!" The food is all mine! Those good-looking Han girls are mine too! The beautiful silk is mine too! And salt! ”

"That's it! As long as I sit in that position, it's easy to say! ”

Looking at the garrison tower from a distance, He Tianneng waved his hand to signal the team to stop and organize the formation. He took the reins of his horse and rode forward. Behind him, dozens of personal guards hurriedly followed.

"Squeak" There was a sound, and the gate of the official village opened, so startled that the soldiers behind He Tianneng hurriedly raised their knives in their hands, nervously guarded. Just kidding, this is someone's territory, let's come here to grab money, food, and territory.

There was a sound of footsteps, and four columns of teams ran out of the doorway neatly, accompanied by the command of the team leader, hundreds of people ran out as if they were one person.

"Hehe, this is Li Shouhan's new recruit?" He Tianlin looked at the members of the team, all of them were seven long and eight short men, tall and short, fat and thin. There was also no iron armor on the body, except for the spears in the hands of the first column, only the second column appeared to carry a bow and quiver on their backs.

"It seems that the detailed work is not true! What is not moving like a mountain, what is like the Qi family's army, such a team, such a person, no matter how strong they are, they can withstand a few rushes and kills?! ”

He Fulin was eager to try behind him, "Master, I'll lead someone to rush up and kill him!" ”

"No!" He Tianneng waved his hand to stop the impulse of his own personal captain, "Don't worry! ”

"Flutter!" More than a dozen feathered arrows shot out of Li Shouhan's ranks, digging diagonally into the dirt about seventy or eighty paces away from the group. The red arrow feathers were very obvious in the sunlight, and the trembling arrow shaft writhed its body like a dragon.

"The Li family is not simple! Do you know how to shoot your feet?! However, the bow power is only seven or eight buckets, and the range is less than ninety steps, what can I do?! He Tianneng smiled and stepped forward.

"Shouhan Xian nephew! The old man came as promised, please come out and answer! ”

"Oh, it's Uncle He!"

"On that day, you talked to the old man that you wanted to ask the old man to temporarily take over the guard, and today the old man came as promised, I don't know what to say?"

"Old fox! Obviously, you want to be this official, but I just said that I want to give it to you! My head is squeezing the door? Or was he kicked by a donkey?! Li Shouhan scolded in his heart.

"Uncle, my little nephew has long heard that my uncle is good at training, and he is famous for his ironclad soldiers. The little nephew is not talented, and he has also trained some soldiers and horses today, and I hope that the old man will give him advice or two! ”

"Spearmen! Armed! With the wave of the two small red and green flags on the city tower, the leader shouted.

"Drink!" The spearmen standing in the first column roared, holding the spears on their shoulders in a ready-to-use position, and with a neat movement, the queue suddenly opened its sharp thorns like a porcupine, waiting for the opponent's next move.

"The old man is a guest from afar, and he is an elder, and the little nephew doesn't dare to show off in front of the old man, and he hopes to give him a lesson or two." Li Shouhan began to provoke, my position has been set up, you are a guest from afar, I will not attack you.

"Hahaha! All right! You're welcome! ”

"Whoa, whoa!" With Ngawang's roar, five hundred Miao sword soldiers danced and stepped on the ground one by one.

"My lord, over there are the barbarians of the She tribe in the western mountains. It's the most powerful. The Miao knife is sharp, and the rattan armor is strong, and the soldiers are brave. In my opinion, if we are stationed in the village, it is not too late to thwart its edge first. "Hu Licheng is a little flattering,

"Hu Baihu, you just have to watch the play." Li Shouhan's words were very relaxed, as if the other party was not a group of cannibals, but a group of cute children.

Seeing that the vanguard of the barbarians was about to reach the edge of the red feather arrow, a loud suona sounded on the city tower.

"Archer prepare!"

The archers in the last three columns took out their bows and arrows from behind them, and when they were ready, pointed their arrows diagonally to the sky, silently waiting for instructions.

When the brute rushed fifty paces from the front of the formation, the officer shouted:

"First column! Put! ”

Fifty bows and arrows left their masters in the trembling of their shafts, echoing each other, shouting and drawing their perfect trajectory in the air, and finding their final destination.

"Puff, puff!" With a burst of bone-chilling sounds, nearly twenty Miao Dao soldiers who were enough to sweep away a small tribe and village were shot to the ground, screaming in pain, twisting their thick bodies, Ngawang was a little crazy, "Kill!" Kill all these Han Chinese! ”

"Whoa, whoa!" The remaining brutes roared loudly and continued to rush towards the front of the formation.

"Second column! Advance! ”

"Drink!"

"Put!"

Another rain of arrows flew by, neat, not dense, but fatal, and He Tianneng saw with his own eyes an arrow piercing the head of a Miao Dao hand.

"The third column, put!"

After three rows of bows and arrows, more than fifty Miao Dao soldiers had fallen to the ground and groaned.

"Master, what shall we do?" He Fulin was a little anxious, he didn't expect Li Shouhan's bow and arrow to shoot so neatly and so powerfully.

"Not busy, not busy, although this little thief's bow and arrow are shot neatly, the power is not great. You see, the barbarians have already rushed to the front of the battle. He Tianneng said gracefully.

I have to say that He Tianneng is still very discerning. You must know that more than 200 years later, European countries have entered the age of firearms, but there is still a proverb: the bullet is a coward, and the bayonet is a hero. More than 200 years later, the Qing army, although the hit rate of firearms is low, but it has never been afraid of foreign devils, but once it encounters the white-edged charge of foreign devils, it will collapse immediately. Even in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression more than 300 years later, the national army could not withstand the bayonets of the Japanese invaders, and Deputy Commander Lin's statement that only the troops that dared to see the red with bayonets were the main force was not false at all.

"Kill !!! Kill the Han Dog!!! ”

"Whoa!!" The Ka barbarians, shouting various slogans, rushed to the front of the Han Chinese under the leadership of Ngawang, brandishing Miao knives.

"These cowardly Han people only know how to hide far away and put a few arrows, as long as our warriors of the Ka clan rush to the front, these cowardly Han people will flee like rabbits!" Ngawang's eyes seemed to have seen the sight of his warriors rushing to the front and back of the Han people, and the cowardly Han people scattering and fleeing like rabbits. However, he met Li Shouhan......
