Chapter 4 Twenty-four is not what it used to be
Qin Shao had completely changed his understanding of Huang Zhong's archery skills at this time.
The previous three arrows fired at the same time may just be his excellent accuracy, but the arrow he felt just now was something he had never encountered so far.
It seems to be a very random arrow, but in fact it has extremely strong force. It was not so much an arrow as a spear, even more powerful than the spear of an ordinary soldier.
Qin Shao couldn't help but look at Huang Zhong's bow again, and when he saw Huang Zhong's bowstring, he realized what a terrible opponent he was facing—that bowstring was actually made of three pieces. What is even more shocking is that the bow body of this bow is actually covered with iron in many places where the force is greater.
At this time, Huang Zhong no longer moved, he just held the bowstring and stood there like a clay sculpture.
Qin Shao didn't dare to move, because for a battle-hardened shooter, the moving target seemed to be easier to deal with.
A bee soldier was knocked between the two by the leech battalion, and there was a leech thorn stuck behind him, and the blood spurted out drew an elegant arc, just separating the sight of the two.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of arrows breaking through the wind was imperceptible in this noisy battlefield. But for Qin Shao, it was like the roar of a beast, deafening.
The arrow was shot at his left shoulder, and Qin Shao instinctively leaned his body to the right, while at the same time pushing the leech thorn in his right hand against it.
He wanted to feel the power of the arrow again, but he was surprised - he didn't touch the arrow at all, and the speed of the arrow was more than twice as fast as before!
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Qin Shao's forehead.
He had also dealt with many archers before, but Huang Zhong was the first one who dared to retain his strength in the battle of life and death.
"Oh." Unlike Qin Shao's panic, Huang Zhong behaved very calmly. He narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, as if he was sure of something.
Qin Shao didn't dare to slack off at all, staring at Huang Zhong who was observing the bowstring with all his body.
I saw him lick two fingers on the tip of his tongue, and then slowly rub a handful on the bowstring.
"Whoosh!"
"Poof!"
Suddenly, there was the sound of arrows hitting the body.
Qin Shao looked at Huang Zhong in surprise, and then, he slowly lowered his head and looked at his right leg that had been shot.
He didn't see this arrow at all!
Huang Zhong was already pushing the bow with his left hand and loosening the string with his right hand at this time, but when he pulled the bow and released the arrow, Qin Shao didn't know at all.
"The first arrow detects the enemy, the second arrow tries itself, and the third arrow seizes the opportunity." Huang Zhong slowly put down his left hand holding the bow and said with a smile.
This is the type of shooting he only uses when dealing with strong enemies. The first arrow tests the enemy's reaction, the second arrow tests the influence of your environment on the flight of the arrow, and the third arrow will seize the opportunity and will definitely hit.
At this time, Qin Shao's right leg had been pierced by an arrow, but he still stood there gritting his teeth. Because he knew very well in his heart that once he fell to the ground, he would be killed by Huang Zhong with an arrow in an instant.
"It's worthy of the 'bow of the falcon', admire!" Qin Shao's face was slightly distorted from the severe pain, but his perseverance was indeed as tenacious as the legend.
When a bee soldier saw Qin Shao being shot, he swung his knife and slashed from behind him.
"Humph!" Qin Shao didn't look back, he directly threw his right arm behind him, and the sharp leech thorn stabbed directly into the person's neck, and blood instantly flowed out of the hole in the thorn handle.
"Yi Shuai's perseverance is really surprising to Zaixia." Huang Zhong was still smiling, he didn't care about the life or death of the bee soldiers.
Although Qin Shao was not afraid of death, if he failed to stop Shen Rong, he was afraid that he would die without turning a blind eye.
So naturally, he turned his gaze to Shen Rong and Duan Xuan's side. But when he saw this, his heart instantly cooled.
……
When Qin Shao and Huang Zhong faced off, Shen Rong had gradually suppressed Duan Xuan.
Originally, Duan Xuan's use of spider silk had reached the point of perfection, but this weapon had no effect on Shen Rong.
Because the weapon used by Shen Rong is called "Snake Letter".
The snake letter is not really crooked like the serpent's long letter, and it is so named because it is used like a snake letter.
It was actually an invisible short sword, with two iron rings that fastened the snake's scabbard to the forearm, and it was completely invisible under the cover of the sleeves.
When you need to use it, simply open the palm of your hand, and the iron wrench attached to the middle finger will open the snap ring of the scabbard through the connected silk thread, and the blade inside will be thrown out.
Then, simply relax your palm, and the snap will snap into the other slot at the end of the blade again. In this way, the blade can be fixed outside the scabbard as if it were attached to the arm.
Then, simply tighten the wrench again to retract the blade into its sheath.
This weapon is simply the natural enemy of Duan Xuan's spider silk. Because Duan Xuan fought against people, he usually restricted the opponent's weapon through spider silk, or cut the opponent's body. However, in order to cooperate with the snake letter, Shen Rong specially practiced a set of extremely strange body techniques, which was the kind he taught to the bee soldiers.
At this time, Xuan felt as if he was catching a butterfly with a net, and he was always escaped by a butterfly at the last moment.
And once the battle is out of one's familiar style of play, out of one's own habits, anyone will panic because of the unknown.
Just as Qin Shao was finally shot by Huang Zhong, Duan Xuan was also stabbed by Shen Rong in the gradually chaotic battle.
In an evenly matched encounter, the loss of the coach will inevitably affect his subordinates. Many leech camps also began to lose their calm because of this sudden change, coupled with the original bloodthirsty style of the leech camp, in the end, they chose to go on a rampage regardless of life and death.
And this is exactly what the other party expects.
Both sides were also unarmoured, with one side being a melee assassin and the other being a mid-to-long-range shooter, and the result was no suspense.
With the exception of a handful of leech camps that can rush in front of the enemy, the vast majority of leech battalions have become targets for armpins and arrows.
Duan Xuan once again threw out the spider silk, and took advantage of the moment when Shen Rong retreated to dodge and move behind Qin Shao.
"Lord Yishuai, it seems that even if the night attack order is withdrawn, Xuan'er will have no life to celebrate."
"If you still have the heart to laugh, you might as well think about how to get out." Qin Shao could only smile bitterly.
"Yi Shuai, let's send the two of you on the road." Huang Zhong looked at Shen Rong, who was slowly walking to his side, turned his head and smiled at Qin Shao.
Then he drew the string with his bow again.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!" "Ding!"
This time, the person with a surprised expression was Huang Zhong. Because the arrow that he shot with extreme speed that was about to end the lives of Qin Shao and Duan Xuan was shot down.
In the direction of Changyi, about 3,000 men and horses came from afar.
"Your Excellency?" Huang Zhong stared at the general who led the troops and asked in a loud voice.
Naturally, his mind was full of doubts, because this man could shoot and intercept his arrows from such a distance.
"In Xia Huyi."
"Your Excellency...... But 'a thousand miles to take the throat'? Huang Zhong asked with interest.
"It's just a small name, I don't want anyone to know about it here, presumably Your Excellency is also a person from the night front."
"Yefeng Southern Headquarters, Huang Zhong."
"Hehe, it turned out to be the 'Eagle Falcon Bow', disrespectful." Hu Yi bowed his hand on the horse.
As one of the few marksmen in the Night Striker, their fame has long spread throughout the halls. So even though they haven't met, both sides admire each other very much.
In fact, the reason why Hu Yi came was because of Zhang Feng.
Originally, if nothing else, Qin Shao and Duan Xuan should have returned to the city a long time ago, but they had not returned for a long time.
Zhang Feng was always worried that Qin Shao would be unfavorable to Duan Xuan, but he couldn't say it in front of Qin Zhen. In desperation, he had no choice but to go to Nie Hong, after all, the only people he could trust at this time were these former night forwards.
Although Nie Hong had also heard the rumors about Zhang Feng indirectly, after all, they were no longer Ye Feng, and they didn't bother to pay attention to those disputes in the hall.
However, when Nie Hong heard that Duan Xuan might encounter an accident, he immediately sent Hu Yi to lead the army to respond.
For Duan Xuan, the attitude of the three night marshals in Qingzhou is the same. If it weren't for Duan Xuan, I'm afraid he would still be just a rebel who occupies the state and county.
As an archer, Hu Yi naturally had excellent eyesight, and he saw Qin Shao and Duan Xuan fighting with a group of unknown people from afar. And when he found out that Huang Zhong was drawing a bow, he did not hesitate to come to the rescue.
"I don't know, can Your Excellency let me take Commander Qin and the military advisor away." Hu Yi has always maintained the affection of a companion for Ye Feng.
"Hehe, if you have cornered your enemies, will you let them go?"
"I'm afraid not." As he spoke, Hu Yi turned over and dismounted.
"But I don't hit a stone with an egg either. Now that our side has the advantage in numbers, and you and the others are exhausted, if you really make a move, I am afraid that Gong Shuai will not be able to retreat with his whole body. ”
"That's true."
"In that case, why don't you save this battle for a later day? To tell the truth, I also wanted to compete with Gong Shuai in the next year. ”
Huang Zhong just wanted to say something more, but Shen Rong suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Then today, let's stop here." ”
"Hehe, thank you very much. Haven't asked yet, who are you? ”
"Yefeng Southeast Hall, the seven sages are handsome under the old seat, Shen Rong."
"Heh, I don't want to have four of the five Yefeng classes here today."
"yes, this is the first time since the Yellow Turban Rebellion." Shen Rong also felt a little embarrassed.
"Like-minded people back then, who would have expected to meet again today, it is no longer incompatible." Hu Yi said with some sadness.
"If you can agree with our righteousness, you and I may not be companions in the future."
"Just as Gong Shuai asked, if you want to agree with Ye Feng's original intention, are you two willing?"
No one answered, because the answer was obvious.
"Yi Shuai, I hope to take care of yourself, and I look forward to fighting you again." Huang Zhong rushed to Qin Shao.
"Hehe, if by then, Your Excellency is not dead, I will definitely go to the appointment." After speaking, Qin Shao endured the severe pain, rode on the horse led by Hu Yi's men, and motioned for Duan Xuan and Hu Yi to leave.
……
Seeing that the enemy's figure completely disappeared at the end of the road, Huang Zhong said to Shen Rong beside him: "Then I will leave here." If Liu Biao discovers Zaixia's whereabouts, he is afraid that Zaixia will not be able to continue to stay in Jingzhou. ”
Shen Rong didn't answer, just nodded. His gaze was still fixed on the direction in which Qin Shao and the others had disappeared.
Huang Zhong sighed and beckoned his men to walk in the opposite direction.
