Chapter 53: Rivalry Showdown: Pei Min's Strength
Mosley Massa didn't know that it was Pei Min who shot the arrow on the other side, but he could shoot such a powerful and clever arrow, and his status must be extraordinary.
So let the best shooter next to him secretly attack an arrow.
The bow and arrow were one of the most powerful weapons in ancient times.
As early as 30,000 years ago, prehistoric humans invented the bow and arrow. The frescoes in many caves in Spain and France depict bows and arrows, deer and bison, which testify to the fact that the ancients used bows and arrows to hunt for their livelihood.
It is said that the ancient Egyptians were the first people to use bows and arrows extensively, and other early peoples who used bows and arrows were the Assyrians, Indians, and Persians.
Therefore, the development of bows and arrows in the West has even surpassed that of the East, but the East has also written a strong mark in the history of the development of bows and arrows by virtue of its own characteristics.
It is worth mentioning that there is a sharp difference between the bow and arrow of the West and the bow and arrow of the East in terms of their ability to shoot and shoot.
The common method of drawing the bow in the West is called the Mediterranean shooting method, which is a common method of drawing the bow, which is characterized by the use of its index finger, middle finger and ring finger to hook the string side by side, and the shaft of the arrow is on the left side of the bow. This shooter is more powerful and more penetrating. It's just that this technique can only be fired once with a bow prepared in advance, and it is difficult to shoot again with an arrow in the short term.
In the East, however, the archery is done with the thumb hook and thumb rings on the thumb, and the index and middle fingers are pressed against the thumb when the string is drawn, and the shaft of the arrow is placed on the right side of the bow. Later Western scholars called it "Mongolian archery" because they first saw it, including the compound bow, through the Mongols' westward expeditions. In fact, this kind of archery technique was used by the Chinese people during the Shang Dynasty in China.
Mongolian shooting is characterized by greater accuracy and stability, and the power is relatively inferior to the former, but it is better than being able to shoot continuously and continuously.
Therefore, this Arabian arrow, under the special bow and arrow and unique shooting method, is no less powerful than the style of Xue Ne, or even more so.
The powerful arrow broke through the crowd and reached Pei Min's chest, so fast that it was difficult to argue with the naked eye.
It's just that Pei Min's martial arts cultivation has reached the realm of transformation, and in the past year, he was assassinated with a crossbow arrow and almost lost an arm, especially studied the response of the bow and arrow.
At this moment, when the crisis was at hand, Pei Min used the sword body of the Qin Emperor Sword to go up.
The arrow feather grazed the blade of the sword, flew directly into the sky with oblique stabs, and disappeared into the night sky.
Pei Min's arm trembled slightly, which showed the power of that arrow.
"First column, shoot me in that direction!" At this time, there were still 100 steps between the two sides, and Pei Min decisively gave an order.
The Shence Army is the strongest trump card under Pei Min, and their treatment is the best in the Tang Dynasty, even the Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven can't compare to it.
The equipment that the Son of Heaven Forbidden Army has, the Divine Ce Army has, and what the Son of Heaven Forbidden Army does not have, the Divine Ce Army also has.
All the soldiers of the Shence Army rode crossbows in their hands, and as soon as they heard Pei Min's shouting, the well-trained soldiers of the first horizontal column dispersed left and right at the first time, and pulled the bracket in their hands in the direction that Pei Min pointed.
The power of riding a crossbow is far inferior to that of a crossbow, but it also has the effect of chasing souls and killing people at this distance of 100 steps.
Mosley Massa reacted unhappily and pulled up his mount directly.
The pony stood upright with his hooves and used his strong body to block the crossbow arrows.
The soldiers beside him were not so lucky, and one by one they fell to the ground wailing.
Kerwin Wackerley, who was a good shooter, also shot through a crossbow arrow in the lower abdomen, and almost shot off his horse.
Mosley Massa's foal was hit by three crossbow arrows, and the force of the bolts carried the horse backwards, and it fell to the ground with a scream.
The lion king of the West was as nimble as a lion, and he had no time to care about his foal, so he rolled nimbly one by one to avoid pressing his foal on the ground, and then got on an ownerless war horse, and shouted directly: "Invincible warriors, follow in the footsteps of your king, rush ......"
He did not organize the unrest at all and went straight to attack.
In the face of this situation, the more you care about this small turmoil, the easier it is for the opponent to collapse in one fell swoop.
Speed was always the greatest reliance of the cavalry, and Mosley Massa had realized that at the moment when they were disturbed by bows and arrows, the Tang army on the opposite side had already set the main point of assault here, and a little more delay would have increased their danger.
In the current situation, being able to achieve results in the local army commander is undoubtedly the best means to turn defeat into victory.
For his martial arts, Mosley Massa is still very confident.
Coincidentally, Pei Min's thoughts are the same as those of Mosley Massa.
It was precisely because he expected the location of the local general that he specially attacked him with a crossbow.
If you are lucky, you will take away the enemy commander directly in a wave, and everything will be fine. Bad luck can also mess up the enemy phalanx and create fighters.
Seeing that the other party reacted so quickly, Pei Min had already concluded that the other party's main general was still there, and his command ability was extraordinary.
Pei Min rushed forward on his horse, looking for the enemy general, and suddenly saw a hideous beast-faced battle helmet, wrapped in a gust of wind, rushing straight towards him.
At the moment when Pei Min saw Mosley Massa, Mosley Massa also saw the familiar and unfamiliar figure.
It's the early dawn, the sky is not yet transparent, and with only the firelight, the two don't have time to see each other's appearances, but they both understand each other's identities.
They haven't been in contact for a long time, but there is no doubt that they are the most important opponents in their lives in each other's eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the person had rushed into a distance of two feet.
The two-handed long sword and poisonous dragon instantly lit Pei Min's front door.
Pei Min instantly entered the ethereal realm, in this chaotic battlefield, in this place where thousands of people were fighting, in an instant, there was no one in his eyes and mind.
Whether it's a soldier or an opponent like Mosley Massa.
Some are just the other side's swords!
A two-handed long sword!
raised his left hand slightly, and when Mosley Massa stabbed Pei Min through with a sword.
Mosley Massa found that his sword had pierced into the scabbard of Pei Min's left hand, and a cold light slashed obliquely.
Mosley Massa broke out in a cold sweat, and without any hesitation, he let go of his sword-holding hand, and the whole person lay straight on the horse's back, a cold chill drifting through his head, and a handful of hair was slashed......
Mosley Massa didn't even know if the flying hair was his own, or the flying mane of the warhorse, or both......
Mosley Massa will never forget his vigorous battle with Pei Min in Chang'an in his life.
It was the first defeat in his life, and he had been ashamed of it all these years, practicing his martial arts and swordsmanship, just waiting for one day to be able to be ashamed.
Today, Mosley Massa was shocked to find that his strength was not what it used to be, but his opponent had reached a realm that he could not trace.
Pei Min's sword showed a terrifying strength that was crushing.
