At that time, the Hou Liangzhu Department of the Sichuan Army was good at using strong crossbows, not only in northern Sichuan to inflict heavy losses on the untrustworthy Ma Army, but also under the city of Jianzhou, which also left a deep impression on the soldiers of Zhao Ying. After the fall of Hou Liangzhu, Zhao Dangshi collected his strong crossbows and obtained hundreds of them.

In the Ming Dynasty, due to the loss of skills, the crossbow was tied with several layers of wooden planks to replace the front end of the horizontal bow, and the distance between the crossbow string and the crossbow machine was shortened, so the energy storage was low, and the power was mainly exerted at close range. Hou Liangzhujun's crossbow is based on the southwest Miao people's wooden crossbow and bamboo crossbow as the template, divided into mulberry wood as the crossbow 'bow, jujube wood as the crossbow body, changed the arm to the waist open, the strength is stronger, especially within fifty steps, it can basically be said to wear copper and iron.

Guo Ruke organized the outpost in the camp, mainly with distant soldiers, including 100 Kaiyuan archers, and nearly 100 crossbowmen who operated crossbow machines. More than eighty percent of Guang Wenlu's three teams were archers, while the team behind him were all crossbowmen. The rain of arrows that swept out of his head in time was sent by the crossbowmen.

The bows and crossbows were fired one after another, and many of the Ma troops who were returning to the camp at the current impact were killed and wounded, and the already uneven horizontal line advance was delayed. But there were still horses returning to the camp within twenty paces, and at this time, as soon as the flying bear flag was raised, the few sword and shield bearers in the three teams planted the regimental card on the ground in front of them, took off the discarded guns from their backs, bid for them, and threw them crosswise.

The attack of the Ma army returning to the camp was frustrated and retreated slightly, Guo Ruke looked at the hesitant Ma army returning to the camp on the shore, and his heart was overjoyed. The five teams that were prepared were ordered to rush into the room. Most of the soldiers in the five teams were armed with long knives and spears, and Guo Ruke's intention was to take advantage of the opponent's hesitation to narrow the gap between the two sides as much as possible. Zhang Xiongfei faced the battle with his back to the water, and there was no way to maneuver, as long as he could get closer, then the mobility advantage of the horse army would be useless.

The horse army returned to the camp first couldn't figure out the reality of the Zhao camp, and then tried to attack and suffered a big loss and had no heart to fight, so the bamboo whistle in the current army formation rose again, seven or eight tall pennants pointed to the east, the horse's hooves flew, and the horse army began to move eastward.

To the east there is a relatively open flat land, but Guo Ruke how to allow him to escape easily, the original arrangement to go to the east to seize the dense forest of the second team loud noise, and continue to fly out of the forest to harass arrows, back to the camp Ma Jun to the east to see that there is something wrong, in a dilemma, some of them turned back and collided with the robe, the scene was chaotic.

Guo Ruke was the most improvised, and the organization of the horse army back to the camp was lower than he imagined, he did not hesitate, on the one hand, he ordered the archers of the first and third teams to shoot slowly forward in five steps, and on the other hand, he ordered the five teams to advance quickly. The second team still stayed in the dense forest to make a statement, and the fourth team sat in the Chinese army to block it as before.

"Woohoo Woo

The archers of the Zhao camp used the sentry arrows at the right time, and at close range, the horses of the horse army returning to the camp were shocked, and the four teams of the Chinese army in the back rowed the sky-shaking war drums and golden cymbals, and the entire outpost only seemed to have a huge momentum of thousands of troops and horses, and steadily suppressed the actual number of people who were superior to the camp.

The fighting spirit of returning to the camp was quite low, and after a few small horse teams were divided to attack in the attempt to tear the gap between Zhao Ying's team but none of them succeeded, the formation suddenly became chaotic. Among them, there was a rush to the east, Guo Ruke saw that the time had come, the banner of the Chinese army turned three times to the east, and after a while, the trumpets and drums of the dense forest in the east sounded in unison, and the two teams rushed out of the forest like a fierce tiger, cutting off the eastward path. At that time, the five teams of the Yuejin had been deceived to the front of the Huiying horse team, and the Huiying horse team was difficult to gallop and had no military orders, and it was difficult to parry the Zhao battalion commander soldiers who were advancing layer by layer with only sabers and short spears, and more than 100 people began to wade across the river desperately.

"Throw the archers into the water!" Guo Ruke reined in his head and shouted, "Shoot a round and the whole army draw swords and kill the enemy in close combat!" In less than a quarter of an hour, the order of the Ma army returning to the camp has collapsed, the brave man wins when he meets on the narrow road, and the Zhao camp who is in a sluggish state meets the Zhao camp like a wolf and a tiger, and the victory or defeat is actually already known.

Pang Jinming looked at the battle situation on the riverside, looked back at the energetic Guo Ruke, and secretly admired it. He knew that Guo Ruke was good at using soldiers, but it was not until he experienced and witnessed it with his own eyes that he deeply realized Guo Ruke's ability to judge the situation and dispatch on the spot, which was beyond his reach.

Zhao Ying pressed forward step by step, and gradually forced the back camp up and down into the clear water. In the turbulent water, the dark stone pits were densely trapped, and many of the panicked horses returning to the camp stumbled and fell, and before they could stand up, countless flying arrows fell from above, and between a few breaths, the clear clear water was filled with red, and the screams of arrows and choking water came and went.

"The Chinese military order, a member of the thief will be given two taels of money, and the first male flyer will be rewarded with ten gold!"

In the chaos, several horses shuttled back and forth, shouting the reward promised by Guo Ruke. Guang Wenlu listened to it in his ears, looked around at the left and right robes, hid his bow and arrows, and drew his sword in his hand. At this moment, the figure flashed, but it was Wan Yong who ran in front of him and said to him: "Come with me, the Luo Guan team has discovered the thief ditch and told us to help in the war!" ”

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the opportunity is fleeting, Luo Wei, as the manager, how can there be few people around him to help, Guang Wenlu knows that this must be his friendship and let himself benefit. Thinking of this, his spirits perked up, and he lifted his bow and ran with Wan Yong.

A few steps to the river, Lowe was protected by four or five soldiers and caught in the midst of the horses. The horses who returned to the camp were in disorder and trampled on each other, and the infantry of the Zhao camp took the opportunity to hook them off their horses and then killed them with sharp knives.

A fast horse came suddenly, Guang Wenlu saw it kindly, opened his bow and shot an arrow, and the feather arrow hit the horse's forehead. The horse neighed in pain, fell on its side, and the rider of the horse was turned upside down. In the oblique stab, Luo Wei jumped forward, and a few ups and downs avoided the chaotic army's collision, and when he reached the knight who was still struggling, he raised his knife and sent the sharp blade into the opponent's neck. With a few streams of blood, the knight twitched his hands and feet, but Lowe didn't care, pressed the knife into it a little more, cut it from left to right, and finally pulled it with his hand, and cut off the knight's head with a quick pull.

Wan Yong said with a smile: "The methods of the Luo Guan team are not unfamiliar! He knew that Luo Wei was a butcher who killed pigs and cattle before, so he laughed at it.

Luo Wei snorted twice, threw the head to his feet, and immediately the accompanying soldiers quickly picked up the head and wrapped it in a large cloth bag, Guang Wenlu saw that the big cloth bag was uneven, and the bottom was even more soaked in blood, and it was expected that there were no less than five or six heads inside, and he also praised: "Brother Luo...... The Luo Guan team is very skilled! ”

Luo Wei wiped the blood stains splashed on his face and said, "Not all of them were cut by me, but as long as this person loses his fighting spirit, it will be much easier to kill than that pig, cow and sheep!" Speaking of this, he turned his gaze to Chengshui and pointed to the center of the river and said, "The thief tried to wade into the water to escape, and I have already killed his horse with a flying fork and axe." ”

Guang Wenlu followed his eyes, and the center of the river in front of him was in turmoil. There were a lot of people and horses gathered there, splashing and swords and soldiers.

"Which is the thief?" Wan Yong stuck the red flag at his feet, sprayed some spit stars on his left and right hands, and pulled out his waist knife.

Luo Wei said: "The burly man with his cloak is the thief Zhang Xiongfei. This man was very powerful and desperate for survival, and although I sent seven or eight brothers to trap him in the middle of the river, I could not defeat him after several attacks. ”

Wan Yong crooked his lips and smiled: "Let me meet him." ”

Luo Wei nodded and said, "Lord Sentinel said that it is best to take it alive." ”

Wan Yong agreed, and quickly jumped into the river, which was only up to his ankles, but when he reached the center of the river, the water almost rose to his knees. Guang Wenlu sent an arrow, shooting down a soldier who was intercepting the back camp near Wan Yong's left, Wan Yong made up for it, turned back and smiled at Guang Wenlu.

But just between this smile, Zhang Xiongfei had already noticed Wan Yong. Guang Wenlu exclaimed: "Brother Wan be careful! The words fell, Wan Yong's face changed sharply, and the whole person pounced in an instant, and Zhang Xiongfei fell into the river.

The sturdy Zhang Xiongfei was like an angry black bear, and he pressed Wan Yong's head into the water, Wan Yong choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and struggled to push Zhang Xiongfei away. But Zhang Xiongfei's mountain-like body didn't move no matter how hard he tried, and Wan Yong was in a hurry and bit Zhang Xiongfei's left palm. Zhang Xiongfei roared angrily, poked his right hand, and dug out Wan Yong's left eye in just one moment.

"Brother Wan!" Guang Wenlu shouted in grief and fired two arrows at Zhang Xiongfei in succession, but the square inch was chaotic, and none of them hit. Seeing Zhang Xiongfei swinging his fist and smashing into Wan Yong's Heavenly Spirit Gai, it was only a short time younger, and the river water in Wan Yong's head was already red.

"Your uncle!"

Before Guang Wenlu could shoot again, Luo Wei roared and jumped out. Although he was in charge of the team, he was furious when he saw his brother's tragic death. By the time the guards on the left and right reacted, he had already reached the center of the river with his travels.

"Protect the team!"

The soldiers were at a loss and rushed forward. In order to ensure the cohesion of the team and reduce the rate of talent loss, Liu Xiaohong once suggested following the policy of Zhu Wenxing of the fifth generation of "slashing the team", that is, "if there is a soldier in the school, all the soldiers in the army will be killed". However, under the mediation of Chang Zeyu, it was decided to replace it with the relatively "gentle" military discipline of "if the generals have lost in battle, the soldiers of the department will be punished and demoted", so as to prevent the soldiers from escaping in fear of crime.

Although there was no beheading, the punishment was still very harsh in the eyes of the soldiers, Luo Weisheng was angry, and it was naturally difficult for the soldiers under his command to sit idly by, especially several of his own soldiers, who even sacrificed their lives and rushed into the river.

Guang Wenlu was also shocked and angry, and Luo Wei was even more worried. So far, the fierce battle on the riverside, Zhao Ying has actually suffered few casualties, and if you want to say that the biggest loss is the corner of the besieged Zhang Xiongfei in the center of the river. That Zhang Xiongfei is worthy of returning to the camp as a fierce general, even if he is at the end of the road, but at the moment of life and death, he is still useless. Luo Wei certainly has a lot of strength, but in Guang Wenlu's opinion, he is still unlucky against Zhang Xiongfei.

When Guang Wenlu, who was mixed in the crowd, jumped into the water, Luo Wei had already opened up with Zhang Xiongfei. Zhang Xiongfei, who had been fighting for a long time, did not feel slack at all, Luo Wei first knocked Zhang Xiongfei over with the power of the surprise attack, but Zhang Xiongfei took advantage of the gap between him and took the knife, flew up with a kick, and instead kicked him into the water and rode on his chest.

Luo Wei reacted quickly and held his breath in time, so as not to let the water flow into his nose and mouth and repeat the mistake of Wan Yong. He shouted angrily: "Give back my brother's life......" Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xiongfei pressed him under the water, and the words behind him turned into bubbles of "grunt", which was difficult to distinguish.

Guang Wenlu was so anxious that he immediately stopped and shot an arrow with his bow. Zhang Xiongfei was keen, and turned his head to the side, and the arrow was pressed against his scalp. Guang Wenlu sighed, and then went to the quiver to touch the arrows, but he was shocked in his heart, it turned out that after such a long battle, there was only one arrow left in his quiver.

He steadied himself, and the hand that had touched the arrow re-released, and drew his quiver. Only this last arrow remained, and reason told him not to shoot at will.

A few more steps, Luo Wei and Zhang Xiongfei, who were hugging each other not far ahead, were rolling in the river, splashing and flying, or Luo Wei was on top, or Zhang Xiongfei was on top, all of them were wet and drenched, and it was really difficult to distinguish them without looking carefully.

Perhaps it was because he found that Zhao Ying's reinforcements were coming, and in the river, Zhang Xiongfei suddenly became much braver, roaring like a bloodthirsty beast in his mouth, and firmly strangled Luo Wei's neck like a pair of iron tongs. Lowe was trapped below, not only could he breathe, but he could no longer take care of it at this time, and many rapids poured into his mouth and nose.

Guang Wenlu saw that Luo Wei's hands that slapped Zhang Xiongfei's shoulders and head gradually weakened, and he panicked, and he only saw that there were only twenty steps left, so he did not hesitate to put his hand into the quiver again and felt out the last arrow.

"I just hope I don't miss this time." He took a deep breath and concentrated, at this moment, his state of mind was surprisingly calm, and the hustle and bustle around him seemed to be a passing cloud for him. He silently counted three counts in his heart, and when he reached the last count, Zhang Xiongfei raised his body and seemed to feel out the sharp knife tied to his calf, and at this moment, Guang Wenlu's eyes widened angrily, and he shot the feather arrow out with a "tense" sound.

"Hmm......." Zhang Xiongfei was anxious to solve the entanglement Luo Wei, so he could withdraw to deal with the soldiers of the Zhao Battalion who came up one after another, but he only pulled out the sharp knife, but he didn't expect the cold arrow to come suddenly. The arrow sinked deep into his right chest, pushing him backwards. He still didn't forget Luo Wei under him, gritted his teeth and pushed the sharp knife obliquely, and at the same time as he fell, the knife was impartial, just cutting an extremely long hole along Luo Wei's thigh.

Luo Wei screamed miserably and immediately fainted in pain, but at this time, Zhao Ying's reinforcements had already caught up and carried him to the river bank. But at the next moment, Zhang Xiongfei trembled again, staggered up from the river, and only looked at the majestic body like a wall and the bloody armor and hair, which made people think that it was the manifestation of the river god.

Guang Wenlu was in a hurry, and when he touched the arrow again, he remembered that the arrow had been exhausted, and there was nothing he could do in embarrassment, and he saw that Zhang Xiongfei's body stiffened suddenly, and then he fell forward and fell into the water, splashing the waves that were high in Qiren. The waves were gone, but there was a man standing there, retracting his waist knife from its scabbard.

Zhang Xiongfei fell down this time and couldn't get up on his own, because the tendons in the joints of his legs were cut off with a knife.

"Brother Luo!" With the complete cheers from both sides of the strait, Guang Wenlu hurried up to check on Luo Wei, who was carried on the shore.

"He's fine." A soldier next to him said coldly, "But most of the veins in my right leg are injured, and it is estimated that I can heal for the rest of my life." ”

Guang Wenlu was stunned and looked at the soldier, but he felt that his eyes were not in the third team. The soldier also glanced at him, and said with a little smugness: "It's still our Haguan team's high means, and the thief ditch will be abolished with just one sword." ”

"This credit should belong to Brother Luo!" Guang Wenlu remembered the person who stood behind Zhang Xiongfei and took out the knife, and then looked at Luo Wei, who was still unconscious, and said indignantly. Suddenly, dozens of paces away on the right, there was a lot of cheering, and when I looked over, I saw Zhang Xiongfei, who was tied up with five flowers, being dragged to the ground by seven or eight soldiers, and blood and river water flowed out of a trajectory along the direction of his body dragging. Behind him, a general flocked to the soldiers, struggling with his head held high.

This is the team that robbed Luo Wei of the credit for Ha Mingyuan. If it weren't for Luo Wei to contain Zhang Xiongfei, how could Ha Mingyuan easily succeed. Now Ha Mingyuan is regarded as the hero who captured Zhang Xiongfei, but Luo Wei fell aside and ignored him. When Guang Wenlu thought of this, his anger rose from his heart, and he didn't care what etiquette he was humiliating, so he flew over to ask for an explanation.

He ran in a hurry, and when he was halfway through the road, he might as well ride on the side, and he was so frightened that he crawled away with a rolling belt, and he was able to escape the catastrophe. Peeked up, but immediately saw a knight in bright armor, glaring at him with displeasure on his face.

"Something that doesn't have long eyes!"

Before Guang Wenlu could speak, someone whipped him. The person who came out of the whip had a familiar face, and it was Jing Keqin, the outpost officer.

"The villain has seen the adult!" Guang Wenlu swallowed his mouth and was apprehensive. Just looking at Jing Keqin's attitude towards the officer before and after the saddle, he could guess the identity of the person he had collided with a little thought.

"Is it Lowe lying there?" Sitting on the horse was Guo Ruke, who heard that he had won a great victory, so he rushed to the horse. However, the first thing he noticed was not Ha Mingyuan who was hugging on the right side, but Luo Wei who was lying on the side of the Baijie mangbush on the left.

Jing Keqin nodded and said, "Yes." This person disregarded military law, left his troops and ventured into the water at the time of stalemate, and almost died in the hands of Zhang Xiongfei to disturb the hearts of our army. Fortunately, the Harbin management team rescued in time and saved the danger. He then added, "Lowe has violated the military order, and although he is not dead, he must be punished after the war, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

Guo Ruke looked at Luo Weiliang, who was unconscious, for a long time, and said: "Your people, you deal with them yourself." However, this Luo Wei personally braved the rain of arrows, but he did not lose a man, and you can use one or two as you may decide when you fall. ”

Jing Keqin heard the holy decree, nodded respectfully and said yes, turned around and scolded Guang Wenlu again: "Don't dodge yet!" ”

Guang Wenlu's face was as pale as dirt, and he shivered and hid to the side. After this experience, the sharp energy at the beginning suddenly dissipated. Listening to the conversation between the Lord Commander and the Lord Sentinel, he only felt that his heart was like a knife. On the shore, Wan Yong's corpse, whose face was blurred with flesh and blood, was also salvaged and placed not far from Luo Wei. Guang Wenlu didn't empathize with the joy on the other side, but looked at his two eldest brothers from a distance and burst into tears.

"The outpost team is in charge of Ha Mingyuan, and the bounty is ten taels, which is a great achievement." Jing Keqin stood between the soldiers and said with a smile.

The round-faced and detailed Ha Mingyuan hurriedly bowed down, and said solemnly to Guo Ruke and Jing Keqin: "Mingyuan thanks the commander and the sentinel reward." In the future, I will use this to encourage myself, I dare not slack off, I just hope to make meritorious contributions again to repay the kindness of the two adults! ”

Guo Ruke smiled and said: "You captured Zhang Xiongfei alive, the thief, and you deserve your fame!" After that, the gaze in his eyes was cold, and he was suddenly as cold as ice, "Come on, bring me my iron whip!" A few glances down, left and right, Jing Keqin personally presented the eight-pointed iron whip that had been prepared, and Ha Mingyuan and two soldiers kicked Zhang Xiongfei to his knees.

The river water continued to drip down the wet hair, and the embarrassed Zhang Xiongfei gasped, reluctantly looked up at Guo Ruke, who was standing proudly in front of him, and said astringently: "This adult, the villain has angered the adult for some reason, and he has to take the villain's life?" He never expected to be suddenly attacked by someone today, and a thousand small drums were beating in his heart, but he couldn't figure out why the other party would be so unforgiving. But the so-called death is also a clear death, so it is a question.

Guo Ruke was silent for a long time, and finally said lightly surrounded by all the sentinels: "Those who offend my Zhao camp will be punished even if they are far away." ”

"Those who offend my Zhao Ying, although they are far away, will be punished!"

"Those who offend my Zhao Ying, although they are far away, will be punished!"

The onlookers also shouted in unison, this sentence entered the ears, Zhang Xiongfei's eyes immediately dimmed, and his face was like ashes.
