Chapter 305: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas

Just as Qin Yu said, it didn't take long for the battle between Xue Xiaoxiang and Wen Wei to be offensive and defensive.

Duan Jiu's judgment was right, Wen Wei knew that he was invincible to Xue Xiaoxiang at the beginning, and he deliberately consumed her physical strength. After Xue Xiaoxiang chased after a period of hard work, his physical strength was very serious, and his shots became slower and slower. Wen Wei seized the opportunity, and continued to attack viciously with his claws, and Xue Xiaoxiang could only pant and defend passively at this time.

There was a crisp sound of "snort", Xue Xiaoxiang couldn't react, and was grabbed by Wen Wei in the chest, but fortunately, the reaction was not too late, and his body retreated in time, so he was not scratched by Wen Wei.

Even so, Xue Xiaoxiang's coat was scratched by Wen Wei's claws, revealing the white corset on his chest, and the bright red belly pocket inside was clearly visible. Xue Xiaoxiang quickly retreated, his little face was red directly to the root of his ears, his left hand was hugging his chest, and he glared angrily at Wen Wei.

"The iron-clawed bat is really not a good thing, shameless and obscene!" She glared at Wen Wei fiercely, tears appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she scolded coquettishly.

Wen Wei was like the one who was scolded was not him, he put his right paw in front of his nose and sniffed deeply, making a look of intoxication, "Tut, it's so fragrant, if I strip you naked, that taste, tsk......" He laughed obscene and weird.

"Hehe, boss, why don't you take this little girl's skin, buddies and taste the taste of the first beauty in the rivers and lakes?" Before the laughter fell, an even more obscene voice rang out.

It turned out to be the group of people who entangled the purple-faced man, and after getting rid of the last two people next to the purple-faced man, five or six people were left to continue to pester the purple-faced man, and the rest of the people surrounded Xue Xiaoxiang, and it was one of the thin old men who spoke.

"Phew! Second child, have you forgotten Lord Xu's orders? When will you be able to control your bottom half? Don't talk nonsense, take her! Wen Wei scolded in a low voice, shrunk his paws into his cloak, and ordered.

"Gotcha!" Everyone happily agreed, and rushed towards Xue Xiaoxiang one after another.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves behind several people was loud, and dozens of crossbow arrows shot at several people like lightning.

"Help!"

Seeing that Xue Xiaoxiang was about to be taken down by Wen Wen's people, Qin Forget gave the order without hesitation.

Duan Jiu and the other guards had already been prepared, and even the cavalry armor that was usually hidden in the package had already been worn on their bodies. Hearing Qin Wang's order, a group of thirty horsemen slapped their horses and killed the official road.

Before the war horse could raise its speed, Duan Jiu shouted, "Crossbow!" ”

Including him and Jin Wu, thirty-two people took out the cavalry crossbow that had been wound long ago from their backs, and pulled the trigger with a slight aim. The steady horseback allowed them to aim without pressure, and of the thirty-two crossbow arrows, about ten of them rushed towards the iron-clawed bat, and the other twenty or so rushed towards the five or six people who besieged Xue Xiaoxiang.

The crossbow is a good crossbow, the standard arm Zhang crossbow in the Great Chu Army, it was given to Zhao Jin by the Jin family last time, and it was captured by Qin Wang. The crossbow body is made of multi-layer bamboo pieces and yellow rosewood glue to make a composite bow, the bow is strong, almost a stone's strength, which can be regarded as a hard bow in the bow and arrow, and ordinary people can't pull it open.

There is a crossbow hole at the front end to hold the crossbow body so that it does not move left and right, and there is a straight groove-shaped arrow path in the middle of the wooden arm to allow the arrow to move in a straight line. Behind the wooden arm is a box, called a crossbow machine, which must be made of fine iron. The front of the box has a hook with strings, and the back of the hook is expected to be a mountain, which is used for aiming. There is a hanging knife at the bottom of the box, which is used to fire, and it is also made of fine iron.

It is extremely difficult to make such a bow and crossbow, the key is that the material of the crossbow body and crossbow machine is difficult to make, and the adjustment of Wangshan is also a big trouble. Like a stone crossbow in the hands of Duan Jiu and others, although the rate of fire cannot be compared with the bow and arrow, but the power is infinite, the armor-piercing crossbow arrow made of fine iron can break the armor in a hundred steps, and there is no armor in thirty steps to resist its shooting, which is called a real national weapon. The biggest advantage is that the bow and crossbow have low requirements for the shooter, and a recruit will become a marksman after a short period of training. And an excellent archer has to go through four or five years of training, training arm strength and accuracy, even so, a top archer can only shoot twelve or three arrows in one breath.

The crossbow arrows that were less than half a foot came suddenly and very quickly, and Wen Wei and the others were caught off guard at all. Five or six of the people who besieged Xue Xiaoxiang had low martial arts, and three people were shot dead at the moment, and the other two were shot in the thigh and the other through the right chest, and they immediately lost their combat effectiveness.

Wen Wei, who has the highest martial arts, heard the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, and the cloak behind him rolled sharply, and immediately caught most of the crossbow arrows, and his body also moved quickly to the right, hoping to dodge the remaining crossbow arrows. Even so, two crossbow arrows pierced his cloak and landed firmly on his left back, and blood quickly flowed out.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Duan Jiu and the other thirty horsemen in shock and anger, "Who are you waiting for?" Chen County catches things quickly, and avoids them quickly! "I saw that more than 30 horsemen on the opposite side were all cavalry, and they were all armoured

, Wen Wei secretly shouted in his heart, and scolded loudly, hoping to use the name of the Chen County Government to scare off the people.

Duan Jiu didn't answer, silently led his subordinates to reflexively beat the horse and left, ran back for a mile or so, and turned back to the horse's head, "Charge!" He roared, and the thirty horsemen trotted at first, and then slowly began to quicken, and when they had run a mile, the horses were at their highest speed, and they galloped towards Wen Wei.

Wen Wei's face changed greatly, and when he saw the cavalry turning the horse's head and walking back, he thought that it was the name of the Chen County Government that scared the people away, and it wasn't until the war horse turned back that he realized that the other party was just trying to distance himself and raise the speed of the horse.

By the time he understood, it was too late, the distance of one mile was an instant for the galloping war horse, and he had no way to retreat now. Wen Wei roared, did not retreat, but advanced, his body floated up, and grabbed Duan Jiu who was in the lead.

Duan Jiuren raised the saber in his hand on the horse, and slashed at Wen Wei's pair of iron claws, his arm strength and the momentum of the war horse are more than a thousand catties? The sharp saber easily severed Wen Wei's right claw, and then cut off Wen Wei's right arm along the arm.

Wen Wei howled miserably, and fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string. Even if his martial arts are high, he can't make any changes between this lightning and fire.

Duan Jiu, who was seriously injured by a knife, did not have any change in his face, and rushed straight forward. Before Wen Wei could get up, he was trampled into pulp by thirty war horses whistling by. It's a pity that he has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for half his life, but he died here.

Qin Wang, who was in the woods, carefully observed the scene of the battle, he was not a Jianghu man, and there were no masters under him who fought alone, he was looking for a possibility, a possibility of crushing those so-called Jianghu masters with his soldiers. Duan Jiu's arrangement of these columns is just right, but I have to say that it is because his side has a surprise advantage, otherwise even if Wen Wei is defeated, there is a chance to escape into the woods, then it is impossible for the cavalry to catch up with him.

Qin Forget was very attentive, he suddenly had a feeling of palpitations, and the hairs on his back stood up.

Before he had time to think about it, he pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist with a "bang", slashed it backwards without hesitation, and pinched the horse's belly with both legs at the same time, and rushed forward several feet.

"Ding!" With a soft sound, Qin Forget felt that he had slashed at a soft weapon, and there was not much vibration from the horizontal knife.

Qin Forget turned around and looked at the person who attacked him, slightly surprised, "It turned out to be you!" ”
