The sound of hooves was like a drum, and the group ran at a gallop on the wasteland. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The barren grass on the ground is separated like a wave of wheat, looking around, there are few traces of human fields, only looking at the north side, a mountain and hills looming.

A few miles west of Fengshan Village is the boundary of Xuzhou, there are also large plains along the Bulao River, and there is Dugong Lake about 20 miles to the northwest.

Generally, the government at the junction of states and counties is weak, and villagers can live here to escape servitude. However, there are also many bandits at the junction, and if they have a little wealth, they will be targeted by the eyes of a vicious wolf. Take most of your family wealth just to wait for leisure, accidentally destroy the village and kill people, and years of hard work will be ashes.

It is not a big village that has confidence in itself, and often the displaced people regard these places as if they were a piece of.

So even if the conditions are good, there are large plains and water, and this side is basically deserted.

"Treading ......"

The grass is barren, the horses are galloping, and the knights are all gray felt cloaks and cotton armor, all of which are fierce. The first one, with eyes as bright as stars under the felt hat, holding the reins in one hand, his body rhythmically undulating on the horse, extremely skillful.

She galloped at a gallop, and the cloak behind her was strongly encouraged, it was Qian Sanniang who was going west.

Behind him, all the riders followed, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, keeping a distance of one horse.

They are all elite riders, and wild rides are just idle.

Soon, they were halfway there, and everywhere they passed were barren plains, wild grasses swaggering like grasslands, and occasionally they saw a small village with people, but it looked like a candle in the wind and rain, which would be extinguished at any time.

"Whoa." The riders crossed a small river.

From north to south, there are many tributaries that flow into the Bulao River, but the river is neither wide nor deep, which does not affect the running speed of the riders.

Soon everyone went ashore, and there was a mountain bag not far ahead, bare and full of weeds.

Suddenly, everyone was stunned, Pei Pochuan listened attentively, his face changed, and he rode to Qian Sanniang's side.

He was also pulling a horse, on which was tied to the bandit's mouth, and he said with a solemn expression: "Captain Qian, do you hear that?" There seemed to be the sound of horses' hooves on the other side of the mountain, and there might be dozens of riders coming...... There are a few more people closer. ”

Qian Sanniang also felt the movement, she listened attentively, and immediately decided: "Go to that mountain and prepare for battle." ”

As soon as she clamped the horse's belly, her war horse was "smaller" and her mind was in touch, and she screamed "sigh and rhyme", spread her legs, and ran to the mountain bag in front.

Li Ruwan shouted, "It may be a horse thief." ”

instigated the horses and chased after Qian Sanniang.

And all the horsemen turned their horses and followed.

Qian Sanniang took the lead and rushed up the mountain.

As soon as he rushed up, he saw three horsemen running down the slope, all wrapped in turbans and cloaks, with a fierce and rough appearance full of murderous aura.

They rode a jujube red war horse, and the cold aura spread, and they were also shocked when they suddenly saw Qian Sanniang appearing on the mountain.

As soon as he rode out, he shouted: "It's officers and soldiers!" ”

The three of them immediately drew their knives, and they saw Qian Sanniang's cotton armor at a glance.

If it is a brother on the road, he will not wear armor, and he will still wear iron-inlaid cotton armor.

When we meet suddenly, we don't distinguish between friend and foe, kill first and then talk.

Qian Sanniang also moved very fast, and with a "swish", she pulled out the handcuff from her waist.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

She pulled down the hammer in succession and pulled the trigger.

Three explosions in succession, and the smoke billowed out.

The three horse thieves burst into a blood mist one after another, and they rolled off their horses in disbelief.

They rolled down the slope with their eyes still open.

The opposite side actually uses a firearm, and it is still a handcuff that can be fired without a fire rope.

It's still three-eyed.

Still.

If they all fight with knives, they are confident that they can cut this girl into pieces and put them in a pot to stew and eat.

They dismounted, and their mounts neighed, and they spread their hooves in terror and ran far away.

Qian Sanniang's handcuffs were held, and the three nozzles were still steaming with light smoke.

Seeing that the three horse thieves were shot down, she flexibly turned her handcuff in her hand a few times before inserting it into the holster.

At this time, Li Ruwan and others also ran up the mountain, seeing that the weeds under the mountain were pervasive, as if they were about to reach people's waists, and then dozens of horses rushed to separate the wild grass.

Seeing the movement here, they seemed to be startled, and the sound of "sighing and law" stopped about a hundred paces away.

Qian Sanniang and others looked at Mashan Bao, and there were about 30 horsemen 100 steps away, either wrapped in turbans or wearing felt hats, all wearing red clothes and thick felt cloaks.

Seeing that these people have superb riding skills, they all have the taste of tyranny and murder, and they all have long and short soldiers, and they all have double insertions. But it shouldn't be a horse bow, after all, riding and shooting, that's a very difficult thing. It's hard to be able to chop right away.

Pei Pochuan looked at it lightly, he violently picked up the bandit who was preparing the horse next to him, and asked him, "These are the green mountain horse thieves?" ”

The bandit looked at it with difficulty: "Yes, yes......"

His eyelids drooped, but there was a hint of hope in his eyes.

He understood that these officers and soldiers would not let him go, and now he was counting on the victory of the good man on the other side.

And there is a great hope, there are thirty horsemen on the opposite side, and there are only twelve horsemen here, no better than them village bandits, he knows that those heroes are brave and sharp.

Pei Pochuan said: "Okay." ”

With a choking sound, he unsheathed his saber, and the light of the knife flashed, and with a bang, blood spilled like a spring.

Most of the bandit's neck had been split, and with his eyes wide open, he rolled down from the horse.

Then after rolling off the horse, his body was still twitching desperately on the grass.

Pei Pochuan returned the knife into the sheath and looked at Qian Sanniang.

Qian Sanniang shouted: "Prepare for battle." ”

She quickly arranged and lined up in two rows, with Li Ruwan, Uncle Wan, Tan Ge'er, Starling, and Uncle Fan in the front row, fighting with winged tigers.

She, Pei Pochuan, Ling Zhanyun, Qian Lijue, Song Ge'er, and Mao Ge'er were in the second row, using rockets and handcuffs to fight.

Uncle Qi was steady and steadfast, and still stayed to watch the guarding horses and mules, and they had a lot of materials for their outposts, so they couldn't leave no one to watch.

They have a two-row tactic, the front and rear rows are misaligned, the second row of rockets shoots first, and then draws their handcuffs to cover the front row to fight, and looks for opportunities to outflank and destroy the enemy from both flanks.

This kind of battle formation Qian Sanniang and others have been rehearsed many times, and everyone is also obeying Qian Sanniang's orders, even the deputy captains of Pei Pochuan and Ling Zhanyun's two sentinel teams have nothing to say.

Soon, Li Ruwan and the others stepped forward, and one by one they pulled out the winged tiger gun from the left front holster of the saddle, and pulled down the sound of hammer one by one.

Qian Sanniang and the six people were behind, and they all pulled out the bow frame from the rocket sac in front of the right side of the saddle, and then pulled out the copper cover of the fire fold at the fork of the bow frame. Blow it again, the fire in the heart is rekindled, and then everyone pulls out the rocket from the quiver and throws it on.

Qian Sanniang looked down the mountain, because the front and rear rows were misplaced, and she stood on the mountain bag again, and her sight was still very good.

She looked at the horse thief a hundred paces away, still looking this way.

They gathered in a nest and shouted nonsense, as if some people wanted to come up, and some people disagreed.

Qian Sanniang shouted: "Aim at the target, the rocket will ignite, and if you are not sure to shoot people, you will shoot horses." ”

As she spoke, she brought the nozzle of the thick and heavy arrow in her hand close to the fire, and the lead burned with a "snort".

Looking at the surrounding Pei Pochuan and others, it was like this, the rocket ignited, and focused on the target.

Everyone felt that the rocket did not need to draw the bow, and it was actually easier to use than the bow and arrow.

It seems that the horse thief on the other side noticed the movement in this way, and some people shouted, but most people didn't care.

Shoot an arrow at a hundred paces, shoot a fart, unless it is thrown, and unless it is a dense rain of arrows, it is useless to shoot.

Sharp-eyed people found the burning fire, and it seemed that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side of the mountain were using rockets, and then everyone didn't pay attention to it.

Rocket?

Legend has it that in the Qi family army back then, most of the rocketeers could aim at the target in the 80-step standing test in the army. However, that has become a thing of the past, and there are not many of those sophisticated rockets, and the rockets used in various places now take off and fall crookedly after launching, flying east and west.

Will there be an accurate head in 100 steps?

Mother's legs, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it.

At this moment, thick smoke erupted.

"Woohoo—"

The screeching sound of a rocket.

Six very thick, more than two feet in length, usually used only by twelve force bows, triangular shaped, four-inch-long fine iron arrows with arrow shafts and feathers tore through the air, and then roared away with a terrible scream.

The pyrotechnic trajectory of the arrow belt is flat and straight, and the rockets made by Xinanzhuang are very careful.

The shaft of the rocket is standard, the arrow is standard, the assembly is standard, and the tail end has an iron end to keep the weight balance of the head and tail of the rocket.

The production and drilling of the special nozzle are very careful, all of which are tamped and drilled, and the hole is drilled to two-thirds of the nozzle to maximize the medicinal power.

Qian Sanniang's rocket flew first, and the holes in the nozzle continued to spray thick firelight, dragging long straight white smoke in the air, like the trajectory of a jet plane.

The refined feathers and iron ends at the tail of the shaft also keep the rocket stable during flight.

Then he shot faster than the arrows shot by the strongbow.

"Poof!"

A horse thief watched, but had no time to dodge, and was shot through the chest by the arrow.

The rocket's 100-step distance was actually more powerful to the maximum, and it seemed to be shot at close range by the Twelve Force Bow.

The powerful force was like a javelin, and at the same time that the horse thief's blood was spurted, he himself was carried off the horse by the huge force of the rocket.

The horse thief struggled in the grass, and a large mouthful of blood poured out.

The thief was thin and thin, but his expression was full of ferocity and anger, but he was the leader of this gang of horse thieves.

is also an old bandit, the family has been robbing houses for hundreds of years, and often cross-border activities.

Last year, when Li Qingshan rose, he went to defect, and once traveled rampant with his troops to Yangzhou Shahedian, destroying more than 30 boats. In the first month, Li Qingshan was defeated by Liu Zeqing, and he fled to various places in Yimeng Mountain with the "marshal" Feng Maohong, Li Mingxiang and others.

In March, the "heroes" returned from a full meal, he was in charge of the affairs of Pizhou, and then thought about it for a long time, on a whim, he took his brothers out to inspect the "tax collection" situation in each village, and by the way found a few little ladies to be happy.

It's just that he flew into trouble, he didn't know who was on the other side, and he was tricked.

The Xin'anzhuang rocket is extremely ferocious, and it can catch up with the rocket used by the Qi family army back then.

The thief's head was shot through the body by an arrow, injuring the heart and other vital organs, and obviously did not survive.

At this time, he just rolled on the ground and vomited blood.

The screams continued, and the rest of the rockets shot fiercely.

"Puff" twice, blood splattered little by little.

Two more horse thieves were shot through and screamed and rolled off their horses.

There were also two terrible neighing of horses, but two horses were hit by rockets.

If they were hit by a javelin, they went berserk in pain.

They were jumping and screaming desperately, and the horse thieves next to them were also confused.

But it was Qian Sanniang, Pei Pochuan, and Ling Zhanyun who each shot a horse thief, and Qian Lijue and Mao Ge'er each shot a horse.

But Brother Song missed, and the rocket grazed the shoulder of a horse thief.
