The reason why javelins have not developed in China is because the bows and arrows in China are developed, and the range and endurance of javelins are hard compared with bows and arrows.

But relatively speaking, the power of short and medium ranges, especially the ability to pierce armor, the javelin is more than the bow and arrow.

At this time, the horse thieves led by Geng Changqing had already rushed to within forty paces, and this distance was the best range for the javelin......

The kinetic energy of the javelin itself collided with the speed raised by the cavalry, and the power was no less than the fierce fire of a strong crossbow.

The unlucky one flew out three or four feet away from the horse with the javelin and stuck it obliquely on the Gobi......

Zhao Yizhen's intention to shoot the javelin was not to kill the enemy, but to give way to the horse thief cavalry who forced the crossbow to stop, and slow down again!

"Up!"

The moment Zhao Yizhen shot the javelin, he shouted angrily and led his soldiers to rush towards the horse thief.

The interval of twenty or thirty steps was only a few breaths in front of the well-trained Liangzhou army, and in this short time, the horse thief was no longer enough to accelerate again.

Cavalry without speed, fighting against foot soldiers, did not have a clear advantage.

In particular, Zhao Yizhen led all the pikemen, and they were well-trained, and they gathered together in twos and threes, forming a small phalanx of attackers, and stabbing at the horse thieves on horseback!

Geng Changqing has not neglected the training of the horse thieves under his command over the years, especially in the military horse farm, they can carry out orthodox military training in a grand manner, and when it comes to combat effectiveness, they are not weaker than the Tang soldiers led by Zhao Yizhen.

But they are thieves now, and the armor and equipment they usually train are stored in the military horse farm, and their bodies are simple cloth armor, and their weapons are also inferior guys.

Compared with Zhao Yizhen, who got the brand-new equipment issued by the imperial court, it is not in the grade at all.

Although the horse thieves still have a numerical advantage, they have been repeatedly injured, but they have suppressed Zhao Yizhen.

Zhang Xiaosong opened the cage by himself, and when he saw that the battle between the two sides was inseparable, he asked the soldiers guarding him to come with a crossbow. ”

As the most orthodox Confucian scholar, Zhang Xiaosong has dabbled in all six arts, and one of them also has good attainments in archery.

Unlike bows and arrows, crossbows have more tension and require a certain amount of arm strength to wind.

In terms of strength, Zhang Xiaosong is still slightly inferior to ordinary soldiers.

It was not easy to load the crossbow, Zhang Xiaosong was not in a hurry to shoot, but calmly watched the battlefield......

Zhao Yizhen killed the enemy while commanding Ruoding, and the military quality he showed made him nod his head, and there was also a person on the other side who did things like Zhao Yizhen.

Although he hid in the enemy, he did not escape the eyes of Zhang Xiaosong, a bystander.

Without thinking much about it, Zhang Xiaosong picked up the crossbow.

The characteristics of the strong bow and crossbow are different, but on the battlefield of more than 20 steps,

The essence of bows and arrows and crossbows is the same, and there is no need to consider factors such as wind power, parabola, etc., but the pursuit of flat shooting......

The bowstring is ringing!

The crossbow bolts are castrated, and they are coming in an instant.

Geng Changqing only felt a sharp murderous aura rushing towards his face, and before he could guess what the reason was, the crossbow bolt had broken through the sky and reached his forehead!

While!

At the moment of the arrow, Geng Changqing's more than ten years of career as a horse thief made this horse thief king burst out with amazing potential in his body.

Unexpectedly, when the crossbow bolt was indiscernible to the naked eye, he flashed to the side, and raised his knife to block the door!

Sharp impact of knives and arrows!

If this was a bow and arrow, Geng Changqing must have dodged the past.

It's a pity that this is a crossbow, and it's a crossbow within thirty steps!

The knife in Geng Changqing's hand flew directly, and the crossbow arrow only shifted slightly in the direction, still passing through his left eye.

Geng Changqing's consciousness dissipated instantly with the death of his left brain......

Zhang Xiaosong's arrow was the victory.

When the horse thief saw Geng Changqing killed, he shouted in panic.

Zhao Yizhen is the best at opportunism, and when she saw this, she immediately changed her formation and started an encirclement of the thieves, intending to leave the other party as much as possible.

More than 400 of the 500 horse thieves were lost, and only a few dozen fled in panic.

Zhao Yizhen ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, came to Zhang Xiaosong's side, gave a thumbs up, and said: "Mr. Xiaosong's arrow is amazing, and it has directly changed my opinion of literati. ”

Zhang Xiaosong said with a smile: "It seems that Yang Jingshu is very hurt by the general!" ”

Even in the Western Regions, Zhang Xiaosong had heard what Yang Jing had said.

Zhao Yizhen said with palpitations: "I have never seen such a brazen person in my life, what he says is the Tao, it is all on paper, and it is useless." If I meet such a boss, I will definitely give up my official position. ”

Zhang Xiaosong twisted his beard and said: "Doesn't Zhao Yizhen know that your Pei Shuai is also a scribe?" ”

Zhao Yizhen was stunned, and also remembered this stubble, patted her head and said, "It's true, Pei Shuai is too capable of fighting." Even the tiger that folded the tiger minister, he didn't walk through the ten lilies in his hands! Mr. Xiaosong didn't say, I really didn't dare to think about it......"

"Both civil and military, there is only him Pei Guogong in the world today!" Zhang Xiaosong got into the prison lane: "Let's hurry, let's go to Guzang to go to prison, I don't know if I am lucky enough to meet you Pei Shuai." ”

Zhao Yizhen said confidently: "Don't worry, Pei Shuai is the most important hero, and when he came, he specially instructed me not to treat you badly, so that you can take care of it." He'll see you, and maybe he'll rehabilitate you! Now that the thieves are gone, don't stay in the prison car, sir, and hurry with us. ”

Zhang Xiaosong shook his head and said: "Before the suspicion is cleared, I, Zhang Xiaosong, am a prisoner. The general didn't care about it, just rushed away. This trip to Guzang is full of expectations. ”

Zhao Yizhen couldn't vomit him, and he didn't close the door of the prisoner's car, so he directly ordered to go east, and conveyed the news of his success to Guazhou.

Guazhou!

Wang Xiaobai, who got the news, directly asked for Pei Min's order, found the reason for the assassination of Guazhou, and went to the Guazhou Governor's Mansion to arrest the Guazhou Governor Genghou.

When they forced their way into the Governor's Mansion, they found that the Marquis had disappeared, along with his mother.

His wife and children were all in the governor's house, and he knew nothing.

However, in just about a month, the four major governors of Hexi, one died, one absconded, one was dismissed, and one was in a state of overhead......

This incident caused a lot of sensation in Hexi, but some people keenly discovered that Hexi did not seem to have paid anything for this series of internal frictions, nor was it affected much, let alone suffered losses, the only thing that changed was the real power in Pei Min's hands, which became heavier and heavier.

Leqi, who is in Illinois, learns of the fate of his two brothers and finally discovers a sad thing.

He sees Pei Min as a strong dragon and compares himself to a snake on the ground.

I thought that the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake!

Now I understand that Pei Min is a fierce dragon crossing the river, but they are not snakes, but they are just a stone on the road.

The difference is just a kick away, that's all!
