Chapter 45: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada, the Yellow Finch Comes in Front (II)

Normal people don't fight mad dogs.

For Jin Yiwei, the best secret service officer of the Ming Empire, it is impossible for them not to understand such a truth.

Since they often deal with mad dogs, and they don't want to fight with mad dogs, of course, they have to get along with other ways to deal with mad dogs.

So there was this batch of strong crossbows.

Whether it is a stepping crossbow or a waist open crossbow, there is a weakness of large volume and inconvenient carrying, as for the bed crossbow of the eight bull crossbow, or let the group of Qiu Ba in the army carry it to play, the Ming Dynasty did not lack good craftsmen, and now they have one more Mr. Shi Ziming who is very interested in weapon design.

This kind of strong crossbow is based on Mr. Ziming's design, and the Northern Song Dynasty Shenjian crossbow was streamlined and improved.

Mr. Ziming called him the Shenzong crossbow. Although it is a bit disrespectful to use the temple name of the emperor of the first dynasty to name him, the Wanli Emperor himself is very satisfied with this name.

People who are more sensitive in terms of policy can see that the Wanli Emperor, who has entered the twilight, will not do anything more, and if he wants to give him a temple number after a hundred years, I am afraid it will also be a divine sect.

Song Shenzong carried out Wang Anshi's reform, Emperor Wanli implemented Zhang Juzheng's reform, Song Shenzong carried out the opening of the river and the five roads to cut down the summer, and Emperor Wanli made great achievements by the three major expeditions.

Perhaps it was because the name of the crossbow referred to the ambitious and untimely monarch of the Song Dynasty who had the same life trajectory as his own, that the Wanli Emperor praised it.

But the emperor can like a weapon by name, and the soldiers decide how they feel about a weapon based on its performance.

However, the Shenzong crossbow did not live up to the expectations of the soldiers, and its performance in several drills was remarkable, but because of its short range, it did not attract the attention of the generals, but attracted the attention of Jinyiwei.

The Brocade Guards never needed anything that was too far away, they were more involved in melee combat, such as everything that was happening in front of them.

As a result, batch after batch of Shenzong crossbows were put together with the embroidered spring knife.

So, they appeared on this hidden battlefield.

"Put!"

A calm order was given, and a dozen short arrows whistled past with a sharp sound of breaking wind. The sound of poofing into the flesh was heard a few times, and the little leaders who were rushing forward like mad dogs just now fell in a pool of blood.

A few people who were not hit by the arrow were still trying to hold on, smiling at the brother who had fallen to the ground and saying, "It's actually good to be an arhat, brothers, I'll come to you in a moment." ”

It was just a new round of short arrows that froze on their faces. Blood flowed out of the mouth of the smile, turning the affection and warmth of the smile into hideous and bloody.

The third round of salvos was also ready, and their target was to protect several senior leaders around Wang Sen.

However, just as they were about to launch, a ghostly shadow flashed, and everyone felt that they had been kicked in the calf, and then they all fell to the ground.

Wang Haoxian thought that he was dead just now, he knew that Jinyiwei would not necessarily kill his father, because Wang Sen, who single-handedly organized this huge White Lotus Sect force, had too many secrets that were not known, and they needed a living mouth to torture more secrets, especially the locations and persons in charge of other branches, so that they could wipe out this White Lotus Sect force.

But he, Wang Haoxian, doesn't have this treatment.

At that moment, he had almost seen the Grim Reaper smiling at him. He already felt trembling in his body.

However, the man who suddenly appeared changed all that.

And the figure of that person, even if the sun had set, he could recognize it as the guard surnamed Yang beside Kang Ning.

Wang Haoxian looked south, and sure enough, he saw that Kang Ning was rushing here with his men.

Wu Sijie, who discovered this scene, gave the cod a look, and the two kicked each other, and they were freed from the state of fighting knives.

The cod will arrive in front of Wang Sen as soon as possible, putting on a posture to protect him, Wu Sijie did not move in place, just put on a surprised look on the spot, and when Kang Ning and the others had already run over, he said in a stunned tone: "You, haven't you already gone far?" ”

Kang Ning deliberately sneered: "My ears are long, how can I not hear such a big movement of yours." ”

Wang Sen secretly cast an appreciative look at Kang Ning, the person in front of him might be even better than Xu Hongru.

He said that he had heard well, but it was not the first time. Wang Sen clearly remembered that when he was in the teahouse before, Kang Ning had said that he had long ears, but Wang Sen didn't care about it at that time. Xu Hongru, who was behind Kang Ning, had already guessed the purpose of his Wang Sen's trip and told Kang Ning. That's why Corning knew that the next step was to go south.

But judging from the performance just now, Corning is likely to be really good at hearing.

Wang Sen was thinking so, but saw that Wu Sijie had already shown a hideous face: "What about when you come back." Originally, Lao Tzu just thought that it would be easier to break each one. But since you have to die together, then Lao Tzu will give you a ride. ”

Kangning continued to put on a nonchalant look, and teased: "Beware of swallowing a big fat man in one bite and killing you." ”

"Hmph." Wu Sijie sneered, brandished the embroidered spring knife and rushed towards Kang Ning.

Yuan Fang's short knife was already unsheathed, and he took two quick steps to stand with Wu Sijie.

Wang Sen had calmed down at the moment. Unexpectedly, Wu Sijie, a praying mantis catching cicadas, was made a yellow finch by Kang Ning and others. It's just that this group of yellow finches did not attack from behind, but rushed back from the front to rescue their group of cicadas.

It's just that strong people like Wang Sen remember that they are just a cicada today, and they are inevitably unhappy in their hearts. However, the duel between Wu Sijie and Yuan Fang was extremely exciting, and it quickly attracted his attention.

Wu Sijie swung his knife and slashed horizontally at Yuan Fang's lower plate, but saw Yuan Fang jump high and slash down with a knife in the air.

Wu Sijie was not surprised, and immediately blocked with a horizontal knife. Then he rolled over on the spot to dodge the powerful blow.

Yuan Fang also took advantage of the trend and rolled forward and flashed to the other side. Both sides jumped up and roared at the same time, slashing at each other. The blade sparked bright sparks in midair.

Yuan Fang took the opportunity to kick at the other party, but Wu Sijie was already on guard and immediately raised his leg to block. Yuan Xiang struck hard next to him, and the blades of the two staggered, but shortly after he missed it, he stabbed both backhands.

Although the power of this backhand knife is not large, if it is slashed by the opponent, it must be a light injury.

The two sides dodged some distance away from each other, ready to attack again.

However, at this time, a miserable scream reached Wu Sijie's ears, and when he turned his head to look, he found that Shang Xin was carrying two brocade guards, like two chickens, and bumped into each other in the air.

Then, the two chicks were thrown into the grass in the distance by Shang Xin.

"Ahh Wu Sijie wasn't much surprised, Wang Haoxian was surprised first, "This person turned out to be a strong man." ”

Wang Sen is immune to the strange people who appeared around Kangning. Because there has never been a shortage of such people around Xu Hongru.

However, he had already vaguely sensed that this person might be even better than Xu Hongru. He had already begun to hesitate now, if he just unloaded the grind and killed the donkey, would it be a pity for the White Lotus Sect.

Wu Sijie would not see more people fall into sad hands because of these things, and more subordinates were injured by Yang Dayan, he knew that this step-by-step plan failed, but the failed arrest plan was successful.

"Withdraw!" He gave a decisive order, and then threw a cruel word at Wang Sen, "We will meet again." ”

Kangning smiled and sent the great mantis away, as a yellow finch at the level of an eagle, he still had a lot to do.

"We've got to go, too. Master. Kangning turned to Wang Sen and said, "The sooner you get out of here, the better." ”

Wang Sen nodded, ignoring the few small leaders who were still lying on the ground and not dying, and led everyone to immediately march into the night.

"Where are we going?" Corning asked, trotting.

"Juzhou." Wang Sen replied, "We're going to meet someone and talk about a big deal." ”
