Chapter 5: The Purple Robe (Part 2)
"I heard, you're going to be the first to strike? Isn't it timid? The old fox Kang Zhongxin is still the old disrespectful virtue, and when he saw Wang Xun, he immediately began to smile again.
"Hmm!" Wang Xun nodded and responded in a low voice. "Thieves have nothing to fear. The more we wait, the worse the situation will be. So ....."
"You still need to talk about this nonsense!" Before he could speak clearly, the old fox immediately pouted and interrupted, "I told you before, that stone castle guard is probably already bought by thieves. No matter how much we wait, we won't wait for a single soldier! But at the moment, the enemy on the opposite side is no less than us, if we take the initiative to attack, there is a good chance that it will be a bad battle of equal strength! One of us dies here, but other people's reinforcements can arrive at any time! ”
"And that's not all. Wait any longer, I'm afraid that the defenders of the Stone Castle will stab us in the back!" Shaking his head, Wang Xun smiled bitterly.
"What did you say?" Shi Huaiyi happened to ride his horse again. Hearing Wang Xun's words, his eyes immediately widened.
"I mean, the guards of the Stone Castle may be carrying the protection of the Feng Changqing Metropolitan on their backs. Join forces with the thieves to hack us! Wang Xun sighed and explained in a low voice, "Anyway, he doesn't plan to mix under Feng Dadu's guards, it's better to do it more thoroughly......"
The reason is actually very simple, if you just stand still, the baggage team will lose, and the stone castle guard will definitely be held accountable by Feng Changqing. He led his brothers and robbers to kill the baggage team, and then fled to Geshuhan's side. Regardless of whether there is conclusive evidence in hand or not, it is impossible for the Anxi army to meet with the Hexi army.
What Feng Changqing can do is at most to bring the lawsuit to the court. And now Yang Guozhong is almost the one who has the final say in the court, and under his pressure, this case can only be closed in the end. When the turmoil calmed down and people gradually forgot about the matter, Yang Guozhong and Ge Shuhan discussed meritorious deeds, and the guards of the stone castle could ascend to the sky in one step.
"This, this ......" Shi Huaiyi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he stammered for a long time, but he didn't say a complete comment. In the Loulan tribe, there is no monolith between several great elders. But no matter how intriguing the elders were, they would not do anything to make the tribal warriors below kill each other. The Central Plains, a big tribe, has always been known as a state of etiquette, but when fratricidal beings kill each other, they do it so unscrupulously, as if they don't have any burden in their hearts!
"The Central Plains is huge, so things inside are complicated!" Wang Xun sighed and patted Shi Huaiyi's shoulder, and by the way, he helped the other party tidy up the shoulder deck of Mingguang Armor. This set of armor was taken off by the other party from the dead body of the Hexi Army, and it was slightly smaller on the body. But compared to the cowhide armor made by the tribes of the Western Regions, the protection is more than a little bit higher. "Good place, maybe you can't think of it in your life. Bad places, sometimes too! ”
"Hmm!" Shi Huaiyi nodded, blinking his big eyes and becoming silent. The old fox Kang Zhongxin laughed again, like some animal suddenly seeing a toddler in the wasteland, "Boy, you have enlightened. I thought you wouldn't be enlightened in your life. To be honest, it's not easy for a foolish guy like you to survive until now! ”
Wang Xun smiled and did not say anything to refute. He wasn't actually unenlightened before, but he refused to think so badly of people from the bottom of his heart. In addition, there is also a very important reason that in the subconscious of his heart, no matter what Yang Guozhong, Ge Shuhan and the stone castle guard who he didn't know did did, they were all Tang people. And the old fox and the gang behind him are out-and-out aliens!
And now, these aliens have to face a powerful enemy with him. And his people were ready to stab him in the back at any time.
He didn't know whether he should be glad or find a place to cry first.
"Say it! How are you going to fight! Seeing that Wang Xun refused to accept the offer, the old fox had no choice but to turn to the topic again. There are more people on the other side than us. And the deer barn has already begun! If we attack hard, we will definitely not take any advantage! ”
"What I'm most afraid of is that the two sides stick together, and no one can get out!" When it came to fighting, Shi Huaiyi immediately came to his senses, "So, I think it's better to fight them here." Why don't we throw away the baggage first, get on the horse and escape. Then find a chance to come back and catch them off guard! ”
For nomadic tribes, this is indeed a good choice when they are not as strong as each other. But Wang Xun's idea is diametrically opposed, "You don't have to throw away the baggage!" He paused to push the Mo knife to the ground and interrupted Shi Huaiyi's words, "I have a way to defeat them." If you can do it, you might be able to solve all the troubles in one fell swoop! ”
"What's the solution?!"
"Tell me about it!"
The eyes of the little stone and the old fox lit up at the same time, and they urged one after another!
"This Fubo crossbow can be used on horseback! I'm afraid you don't know yet! Wang Xun nodded, and from Shi Huaiyi's horse, he untied the Fubo crossbow for the Tang cavalry, pulled the trigger, and shot the crossbow arrow into the sand under his feet. Then bend your left leg and take advantage of the situation to clasp a slightly wide wooden bulge in front of the crossbow arm to your knee and push it hard. only listened to the sound of "Zheng", and the complex structure of the Fubo crossbow was actually hung by him with one hand.
The rest of the words don't need to be explained by him. The old fox and the little stone, who grew up on horseback, naturally knew how to maximize the power of the Fubo crossbow.
Immediately, the old fox and the little stone each called a few little arrows, and in front of Wang Xun, they taught the real skills of using the Fubo crossbow. Then they were ordered to hurry up and practice, ready to go into battle at any moment. (Note 1)
While everyone was familiar with the skills of using the Fubo crossbow, Kang Zhongxin, Shi Huaiyi and Wang Xun began to discuss a specific attack plan, and the advantage in weapons could make up for the lack of numbers. The enemy forces come from three tribes, and it is difficult to coordinate with each other, which increases the chances of victory by several points.
"I suggest focusing on the Red Fangs!" Glancing at the other side, Wang Xun whispered to the other two to discuss. "They don't wear armor, and they look stronger!"
Shi Huaiyi only led the team to kill, and he was not interested in how to find a breakthrough. The old fox Kang Zhongxin's eyes lit up again. "Medium!" He whispered yes, while pointing at his own disciples, "Within thirty steps, their arrows basically won't miss!" ”
"Divide the cavalry into three teams and shoot in turns. After releasing an arrow, immediately run fifty paces away to reload the bolt. Lu Yan just blocked the enemy himself, as long as they don't come out, let's not get too close! Wang Xun thought about it and continued to propose.
"But what if they chase them out?!" Shi Huaiyi's train of thought was a little unable to keep up, so he asked in a hurry.
"Ignore it, you just lead the team to distance yourself." The old fox suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a hint of murder in his eyes. "Go and say hello to all the brethren. Listen to my orders and act in a moment. Whoever dares to rush around recklessly again, no matter what merit he makes, I will kill him. Just go! ”
"Ahh Oh! Shi Huaiyi shook his heart again, agreed, and turned his horse to convey the order.
Looking at his back, the old fox couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Among the younger generation of the Loulan Department, Shi Huaiyi is undoubtedly the top figure. can be compared with the Central Plains prince Wang Xun in front of him, the gap is almost obvious. Although this Central Plains Guy is just an outcast of their imperial court, although according to the Central Plains Guy himself, in Chang'an, young people like him are almost all over the streets!
Let such a young man grow up. For the dream of the Loulan tribe to restore the country, I really don't know if it's a curse or a blessing. Suddenly, the old fox felt a faint sense of remorse in his heart. But now it is too late to regret it, and along the way, with his own generosity, tenacity and bravery, the Central Plains Warrior has won the trust of the vast majority of tribal warriors.
There was constant laughter from Shi Huaiyi's side. It made the old fox more and more distraught. Although they had just learned how to use it, no matter how much they practiced, they were still sharpening their guns, and the Loulan warriors were still excited. Galloping is the best tactic of the nomads, and since they were young, they have followed their father's hunting skills, and they have almost become a kind of survival skill to shoot arrows while riding a horse and galloping. However, because the bow arm of the riding bow is much shorter than the foot bow, and due to the limitations of the individual skills of the tribal craftsmen, the attack effect of the gallop tactic is very poor in actual combat. As long as the opponent's morale is not crushed by the feathered arrows shooting from the sky, it will basically not have the effect of loosening the enemy's position. If the other party is well-trained and well-armed, the seemingly powerful flying feathers in the sky can only scratch it.
However, the Fubo crossbow equipped with ** makes up for the lack of attack power of the riding bow very well. After obtaining the Fubo crossbow, the Loulan tribe immediately fought a battle with the nearby Hebal tribe and defeated the other party. But after all, the crossbow is not like the riding bow commonly used by the samurai, and it can be fired in bursts without stopping. In order to ensure the continuity of the attack, the Loulan warriors had to equip the Fubo crossbow with a leather rope. Rush to the vicinity of the enemy, pull the trigger, and immediately drop the Fubo crossbow. Rely on the other end of the rope tied to the saddle to ensure that the Fubo crossbow is not lost. The samurai himself quickly drew his sword in his hand, and rushed forward to fight the enemy while the enemy's formation was disrupted by the crossbow arrows.
Wang Xun's guidance solved the problem that the crossbow could not shoot continuously. After a little practice, the Loulan warriors jumped on their mounts excitedly, eager to show off their skills against the enemy. Before jumping on horseback, Shi Huaiyi finally found another opportunity, taking advantage of the old fox's lack of attention, and asked Wang Xun in a low voice, "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, what if the enemy chases him out?" The weapons are too bad, they can't always hide behind the deer and get shot! ”
"Once the enemy moves away! Now it's our business! Wang Xun smiled at him kindly and gave an incredulous answer.
