In his book of war, Qi Dashuai described in detail the archery skills of the Japanese Kou. Due to the scarcity of materials on Fuso Island, the Japanese did not use a variety of materials to make elaborate horn bows. In addition, they travel to and from the sea, the sea is wet, and the horn bow is damp, so it is easy to burst, so most of the bamboo and wood composite or even single bamboo bows they use. In order to ensure their power, they had to make these bows very large, some of them even six or seven feet long. Such a long bow body naturally also brings a huge pulling distance, so the arrows they use are also long. The muzzle velocity of this bow and arrow is not fast, and the range is short, but the lethality of the bow and arrow in the effective range is quite terrifying. Therefore, their tactics, in the words of Qi Dashuai, are "longbows and huge arrows, which are sent close to others, and stand in the middle".

The bows used by the Jin army outside the customs were technically better than those of the Japanese invaders, of course, one of the reasons for this was that the air outside the customs was dry, and there was no need to consider the problem of dampness in the horn bows. However, in terms of what kind of arrows to use, their choice is very similar to that of the Japanese Kou, that is, to use heavy arrows with a short range but more powerful, in the hope of killing or severely damaging their opponents with a single arrow.

Huang Zide's rebel army did not have a bird gun, so Xuan Yi proposed to adopt the Japanese style of fighting, using a hard bow with a heavy arrow, and replacing the bird gun at close range. So now the rebels are shooting all these kinds of heavy arrows.

At such a distance of less than ten paces, the lethality of heavy arrows is quite large, and those state soldiers also have no decent armor. They were wearing nothing more than the so-called mandarin duck battle jackets. It was a cotton coat, and it had no defense at all. Heavy arrows were fired, and it was easy to shoot at the first few people. When the other soldiers saw it, they all let out a roar, threw down their weapons, turned and ran.

Seeing that the enemy army had fled, Liu Jiexuan wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but when he saw the enemy's archers a hundred steps away, he sighed and gave up his intention to pursue.

Looking at the state soldiers who fled back, He Dalong also sighed. However, he immediately made another adjustment, put armor on the soldiers in the front row, and drove them up again.

"We have few good bows, and the power of heavy arrows is limited. It's not easy to shoot through armor. It's not easy to make your own stronger bow and arrow, at least, not in a few days. When Xuan Yi proposed to attack with heavy arrows at close range a few days ago, Liu Jiexuan had expressed such doubts.

"When I heard about the Tartars outside the gates, they like to shoot arrows at close range and shoot them directly at the door. There was no armor to protect it. Our mandarin duck formation was blocked by large shields in front, and the distance between the archers and the enemy behind was less than ten paces. At this distance, shooting at the façade, although it may not be possible to shoot a shot, is also a way. That's what Xuan Yi replied at that time. After that, when the archers in the Mandarin Duck Formation were training, the most important training content was to shoot a target the size of a human face at a distance of ten paces.

Therefore, He Dalong's operation naturally failed again, and he also threw several sets of armor on the position. This can also be regarded as a big gain for the rebels at this time.

He Dalong raised his head and looked at the sky, it was dark early in this mountain, and now it was not far from getting dark. It seems that unless He Chengzu finds a new way, it will be difficult for him to break through the defenses of these thieves.

……

Chang Yan has been watching the battle here for a while. Of course, no one around could feel His presence. Unlike the ghost pawn, although his grade is not high, he is also a righteous god with the canonization of the heavenly court and the imperial court, so the evil qi of the battlefield cannot threaten him. When He Dalong sent his son to explore the way, Chang Yan frowned. Because he knew that there was really a road around here that would allow them to bypass and flank Liu Jiexuan back and forth. However, since he was already here, he naturally would not let He Chengzu find that way.

"A-Ying, you go and take them for a few more turns, don't let them find that way." Chang Yan turned to the ghost beside him and said.

It is difficult for ordinary Yin Ghosts to deal with those who are in normal physical condition during the day, let alone deal with soldiers who have killed people and have a bad spirit, and it is difficult to get close. However, the ghost pawn around Chang Yan was different, he was far more powerful than ordinary Yin ghosts. He Chengzu only took seven or eight scouts, far away from the battlefield, and this is a deep mountain, which is rarely popular, and it is within the jurisdiction of Changyan, so he can get the help of his divine power, so although he can't eat all these people like those mountain ghosts in those legendary stories hundreds of years ago. But it has also been able to interfere with these people's attention to a certain extent, and considering that these people are actually not familiar with the nearby terrain, it is not difficult for Ah Ying to lead them astray. So Chang Yan, who was standing on the top of the mountain, soon saw He Chengzu with a few scouts and began to circle in several ravines in situ.

After the state soldiers were defeated and retreated again this time, He Dalong didn't have a good way for a while. You can't just take the knife yourself and fight hard, right? Of course, He Dalong has also done it many times when he personally charged and cut people with a knife, but that was when the enemy had a chance to take advantage of it, and now in this situation, He Dalong felt that even if he rushed forward with a knife, most of the time it would not necessarily have any good results.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and in the blink of an eye, the sun was already in the west. Naturally, this battle could no longer be fought, and it became difficult to continue tracking the enemy army.

Liu Jiexuan naturally wanted to transfer at night, and He Dalong also knew this. He knew that if Liu Jiexuan was allowed to get out of this overnight, it would be difficult to catch him again. And now that the morale of the army is low, in this case, let them search for the enemy again, just afraid that they will not find anything under the influence of the sun.

While arranging for a camp defense, He Dalong also sent out Ye Bu to keep an eye on Liu Jiexuan and follow him. It's a pity that some of the best scouts were taken by his son, and now they haven't returned. I don't know if the rest of me can keep up with Liu Jiexuan.

The sun soon went down, followed by a heavy fog. When this fog came together, He Dalong knew that in addition to honestly guarding the camp tonight, he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of other things.

"Fortunately, in such a fog, if Liu Jiexuan retreats overnight with people, at least half of the people will be lost on the way. And with such a big fog, they can't go fast. Maybe we'll catch up with them when it's dawn. He Dalong could only comfort himself like this at this time.

On the other side, Liu Jiexuan was retreating south with those dozens of soldiers overnight. The bright moonlight shines down brightly, illuminating everything around you very clearly......

……

"If you want to say, that mandarin duck array taught by the Taoist is really powerful, really powerful. In this battle, we were fifty against four thousand, and as a result, thirty people were wounded and one died. Kill at least a hundred of them. I also grabbed more than 20 sets of cotton armor, as well as knives and guns. Rejoice! In Shang Xiuying's barracks, Liu Jiexuan, who had just come back, laughed while stretching out his slap and patting Xuanyi's shoulder like iron.

"It's still Brother Liu. Against 4,000 people, they can still bring back all these captives. Xuan Yi took half a step back, "How about the injured brother?" Poor Dao went to see it first. ”

"Except for Brother Zhang Biao, who was too seriously injured and died on the second day, the others used the injury medicine prepared by the Taoist chief in advance, and at this time, it was all right. But it's good for the Taoist to go and take a look. Liu Jiexuan said.

Xuan Yi arched his hand towards Liu Jiexuan, and went to the wounded soldier. After only taking two steps, he suddenly heard Liu Jiexuan shouting behind him: "By the way, Dao Chief, did you use any spell to help us?" ”

Xuan Yi stopped and listened to Liu Jiexuan: "It's that fog, it's really weird." ”

Xuan Yi didn't have time to answer, but Shang Xiuying was interested, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Lao Liu, what happened to you?" Tell me about it. ”

"It's nothing, it's the day we blocked He Dalong. We stayed with him until the evening, and when it was dark, we began to withdraw, and at that time I estimated that He Dalong would definitely send some night guards to follow us. Don't want to, when we were about to withdraw, He Dalong and their side suddenly fogged up. He Dalong's camp was only about two hundred paces from the pass we were guarding, and there was a fog on their side, and there was nothing to see. On our side, the moon is so bright that it's a little dazzling. So they didn't collect the night, and of course they couldn't send it out. Sister-in-law, do you say this is interesting, just a little bit away, our side is bright and bright, and their side is foggy......"

"In the mountains, it's nothing." Shang Xiuying smiled, "I have also seen a courtyard where it rains in the east and there is no big sun in the west." However, this is also God forbid. ”

"This is not unusual, sister-in-law, you don't know, when we retreated, the fog spread out, always a hundred steps behind us, we went forward, the fog went forward, we stopped to rest, the fog stopped. That's really ...... I, Lao Liu, have never seen anything like this in my life. Liu Jiexuan said.

"This is really evil...... Shang Xiuying also said, "Dao Chief, I didn't expect your mana to be so profound......

Later, Xuan Yi tried to explain, saying that it was really not his own credit. But Liu Jiexuan just didn't believe it, and later even took out the story of Huang Zide getting lost when he broke through with him and meeting Xuanyi: "When I broke through with the king, I also encountered heavy fog at night and couldn't go, so the Taoist came." The Taoist just waved his hand, and the fog lifted, and then we walked out. If the Taoist can disperse the fog, he will definitely be able to make a big fog, right? ”

"General Liu, are you mistaken? Was there fog there that day? Xuan Yi said strangely.

"There was no fog that day, so how could we go around in circles? Well, you say, was there fog that day? Liu Jiexuan grabbed a shield hand and asked.

"It didn't seem to be foggy that day, right?" The shield-bearer shook his head.

"Oops! How do you remember things? How long ago is it that you can remember it wrong! Liu Jiexuan complained. Then he took a wolf hand and asked, "Old Five, do you remember that there was fog?" ”

"Looks like there is, right? Well, it's foggy! The wolf hand nodded.

"Well, how could I be mistaken?" Liu Jiexuan said proudly.

"I remember it was really foggy."

"But I remember that there was really no fog!"

The soldiers who had broken out with Huang Zide argued.
