Chapter 81: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"Let's compare swords!"
Changsun Sheng was starved for three days, how could he have the strength to fight with the Turkic generals?
Besides, if the donkey is stubborn, it is still a question whether he will let him ride.
But as an envoy, how could he lose face to the Great Sui? It's better to compare!
Ten years of sharpening a sword, today to try the edge!
Sword dancing, high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade, has always been an exclusive skill for upper-class people to compete and compete, and I believe that the vulgar Turkic barbarians will be defeated!
As soon as the words fell, Apo applauded loudly, "Good! If you have the courage, bring a bow!! ”
"Huh?" Changsun Sheng was slightly stunned, "What are you doing with a bow?" ”
"Compare arrows!" Apo was a little puzzled, "Didn't you ask for an arrow?" ”
Changsun Sheng's face turned dark, compared to your uncle's arrow, Lao Tzu said the sword!
Soon, a guard came to him with a horn recurve bow, the bow body was thick and solid, and it was inlaid with gold and jade, and the appearance was not gorgeous.
"This is my treasure bow, and it cannot be pulled unless it is a brave warrior!" Apo said, bending his bow and arrows, and a black shadow came out of his hand.
Fifty paces away, the rope holding the tent in place suddenly crumbled.
"The Great Khan is mighty!"
There is an endless stream of sycophants around.
With a smile on his face, Apo turned around and handed the recurve bow to Changsun Sheng, "Lend it to you!" ”
"Knock knock knock ·······"
The drums of war that have been stopped are playing again.
Changsun Sheng stood side by side with the black tiger master.
In the distance, fifty paces, one hundred paces, and one hundred and fifty paces, there were two living lambs on each side.
The requirements for archery in the army are quite high, fast, ruthless, and accurate, although it is only a simple three words, but there are very few people who can do it.
"Prepare !!"
The order was laid, and the six lambs were immediately driven around by the sergeant.
"Let's go!"
"Boom ·····"
The owner of the black tiger is a fierce general, and the moment he heard the words, three feathered arrows came out of his hand, and in the next second, three more arrows followed.
Changsun Sheng's face was a little ugly.
Have all one's goods in the window!
When Apo borrowed the bow, he felt a little strange.
When he drew the bow to the fullest, he found that this bow was indeed very powerful, but unfortunately, it was a hard bow!
The hard bow resembles a weakened version of the heavy crossbow, and the penetration is very strong!
However, it can't shoot far!
According to the material, as well as the degree of loss of beef tendons, it is estimated that the range of this horn recurve hard bow will not exceed fifty steps.
Turkic barbarians play yin!
When Changsun Sheng was full of distractions, the owner of the black tiger had already killed all the lambs.
"Win!"
"That Sui envoy hasn't even drawn out the feather arrow yet!"
"Could he be, doesn't know archery?"
All kinds of cheers and ridicule rose to the sky.
"Chirp ······"
Suddenly, several eagle chirps rang out in the air.
Above the majestic blue sky, two big black birds, spreading their wings and circling, seemed to have found their target in just a moment, and swooped down quickly.
"Protecting the Great Khan!!
Changsun Sheng shouted, bent his bow, took the arrow, and looked at the opportunity, and the feather arrow came out of his hand.
"Poof... Poof·····"
Kill two birds with one stone!!
The crowd who were stunned by the mutation looked at someone who was so powerful in a daze, and in vain, burst into a burst of cheers that were even stronger than before.
Barbarians, worship force!
·········
It was night, in the tent of the Great Khan of the Western Turks.
Apo, who was sitting in the first place, had an extremely gloomy face.
"Damn Sui people! Damn King Shanshan!! ”
"Great Khan, why don't you tell the true identity of those two falcons? Mistakenly let the clansmen think that Sui envoys are excellent in archery! Next, the dozen or so fierce generals sat solemnly during the day.
"Can't say! Falconry is a secret that my ministry does not pass on, if the falcon transmits the news is leaked, how will I monitor the old thing in the future? ”
"It's too much of a deception! Great Khan, wait for me to slaughter the head of the Sui envoy and give you wine! ”
"Come back! If you lose, you lose, can you shoot two swooping falcons? ”
The crowd was speechless.
Indeed, even if two falcons are raised by oneself, if you want to shoot at the same time, you need not only superb archery skills, but also luck!
Sometimes, luck is also a strength!
Apo was unusually heartbroken.
Two falcons, but the falconry trainer has worked hard for decades.
Even, because falcons have a long lifespan, they need two generations of falconers to raise them at the same time!
"Great Khan, Lord Ye Hu, I was really ······ by King Shanshan" A fierce general looked at Apo and closed his eyes and asked in a cautious low voice.
Apo nodded lightly, flicked his fingers on the tiger skin seat, and gritted his teeth, "King Shanshan, eat inside and out!" ”
"Great Khan, could it really be the Sui Army?"
"Do you think that the main force of the 30,000 Sui army besieged in Weiwu City, without supplies and war horses, rushed thousands of miles and arrived in Dunhuang?"
"Then, do we really want to evacuate Xiliang?"
Po frowned in contemplation and remained silent.
Although in the grassland, fratricidal cannibalism abounds, but Daye Hu can't die yet!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to suppress those "clan elders" in the royal court at all!
After a long time, Apo said in a deep voice: "Please Sui envoy!" ”
········
Changsun Sheng had long noticed that there was something wrong with the falcon.
At the end of the hunt, seeing that Apo and the others had bad faces, after returning to their tents, they quickly speculated about various changes.
However, apart from Ping Chen's army going north and driving the Turks back to the steppe, he really couldn't think of any reason that could make Apo's face so solemn.
"Sui envoy, the Great Khan is invited!"
The night is getting darker.
When Changsun Sheng arrived at the Great Khan's camp, countless bonfires had already been lit around him.
The festive atmosphere of the day had not yet subsided, and the jubilant herdsmen, as well as the guards who did not know the truth, all greeted him.
"I've seen the Great Khan!"
The atmosphere in the camp tent was tinged with a hint of calmness, and Changsun Sheng gathered his mind and waited for Apo to speak.
"If our troops retreat, and the eastern part of the country is annoyed and angry, and crosses the central grassland to carry out a surprise attack on our department, will your Great Sui be contained?"
"Yes!"
·········
Dunhuang.
The wolf smoke was everywhere, and the murderous atmosphere was pervasive.
On the city wall, which has not yet been repaired, the beds are densely covered with crossbows, and the trees are covered with trees.
Thousands of soldiers, leaning against the wall, vigilantly looked down at the crowd below.
Inside the city.
Countless adobe houses were razed to the ground, countless trebuchets were lined up side by side, and thousands of laborers worked hard to polish the hard-won boulders and turn them into round stone projectiles.
On the tower of the city gate.
Yang Shuang sat firmly in front of the desk.
On the other side was an old man with gray hair.
"Tush, believe it or not, Lao Tzu waved his hand, and your 200,000 army was wiped out?"
Thush rolled his eyes, not responding.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't.
The hands and feet are tied, the mouth is stuffed with tattered linen, let alone open your mouth, even moving your numb buttocks is a luxury!
Yang Shuang sighed lightly, got up and walked to the wall.
He thought that the Turkic army that would seize the Turkic Daye Protector and occupy Zhangye, Yumen, Jiuquan and other counties would come back to help, but he didn't expect it to be so much!
What does Zhuge Liang calculate in the empty city, he is a thousand people, and he has a strong Turkic army of 200,000!
Throughout the ages, who can compare?
"Brute, stand back! Otherwise, this old guy will have less ears! ”
"Damn! Damn horse thief, dare you go out of the city and fight me?!! ”
"Why don't you dare? Ste, bring my mount!! ”
