Chapter 69: The Condor Hand
Yanglin's telescope is a thousand times miniature, and if you can't find a clue for a while, it doesn't mean that you can't find a clue all the time, and after Chengfeng went around the river three times, Yanglin finally found a suspicious place, just because there was a Han man on a war horse.
"Turn around and get closer to the shore."
Yanglin issued a new order, compared to the more than a dozen cannons, the explosion of the happy Breaking Waves, Chengfeng seems a little quiet, during the Tang Dynasty, the combat exploits are calculated by the number of enemies killed in the war, the Breaking Waves that fired more than a dozen cannons should kill the enemy more than 100, and the wounded horses are nearly 1,000, and there is a sum of money in the battle exploits, the generals on the Chengfeng are naturally red-eyed, and the guns are the internal servants, who don't care much about the military exploits, but it is the naval generals who operate the boats, and they get such an order from Yanglin, and the generals who operate the ships naturally think that the commander wants to get closer and come to a ruthless shot. So he steered the boat to a very close distance from the river bank.
"Dididi." Yang Lin's mobile phone kept pressing, and although the computer was almost jet-free, his fingers were not so fast.
"Be careful." Yang Lin, who was in the midst of a pile of numbers, was suddenly pressed down.
"Tuk."
A long-feathered arrow that was still wagging its tail stared at the location where Yang Lin was just now.
"It's the Condor Hand." Urging Erfan is the chief attendant of the Chengfeng, and fortunately there is a martial arts master like him on the ship, otherwise this strange treasure of Datang will be pierced through the heart by others.
"Condor Hand? How far can their bows and arrows go? Yang Lin, who was frightened after a cold sweat, hurriedly asked.
"The strength of the Condor Hands is amazing, and if they have a strong longbow, they can throw up to one hundred and fifty paces. There are also 100 steps of direct shooting. Urging Erfan looked at the sky vigilantly, but fortunately, the arrow just now was thrown from a long distance. With Erfan's keen insight, he can dodge it, if it is a direct shot. I'm afraid Yanglin is finished.
Yang Lin criticized the Tang people's method of calculating the distance with steps, roughly calculated, one step is about sixty to seventy centimeters, then the projectile distance of the Condor hand is not up to 100 meters, which is exactly the same as the range of the Shenwei cannon, that is to say, he can bombard others, and others can also shoot himself.
"Hurry back to the middle of the river."
Yang Lin gave the order without thinking about it, God knows how many of the Turks were Condor Hands, compared to his own small life. The battle was won or lost, and in the eyes of the disdain, the Wind Rider returned to the middle of the river again.
"Actually, the horses don't have to be so nervous, the Turkic Condor has fewer than our Shenwei cannons, and with me, I won't let their arrows hurt you." Qi Erfan touched his nose and said, since the start of the war, the Breaking Wave has fired several rounds of cannons and killed many enemies. The Wind Ride only fired a round of cannons, which seems a little inappropriate!
"next door, can you guarantee that this thing that falls from the sky won't shoot me, and you can also guarantee that this thing won't shoot everyone? Do you know how long it takes for a person to grow this big? One or two decades. Yang Lin laboriously pulled out the feather arrow nailed to the ship's board. With the arrow shaft pumping, he looked at his own urging Erfan with a look of disdain and shouted. In his heart, the battles he commanded should have zero casualties, at least the people he knew could not die.
Qi Erfan was stunned by Yang Lin's roar. Isn't war about death? Kill hundreds, kill a few. What a big deal! Why is the horse so angry?
Yang Lin did not pray that the thinking of the ancients would be able to keep up with him at once, and his telescope once again searched for the Han man in the ranks of the Turkic cavalry. The damn feather arrow made him forget what the man looked like.
Naturally, the Turkic cavalry would not always be stoned under the fire of the Tang army, and Ashina Tusu used the shotgun as a catapult to grope for a catapult, and after figuring out the firing range, he naturally ordered the withdrawal of the army.
The Turkic cavalry that retreated like a tide in exchange for a cheer from the water army camp, killing hundreds of enemies and more than a thousand horses, it was a small victory, Yanglin rewarded the buffalo with the power bearing of the grinding disc and a bundle of fresh grass on the shore, the Turkic cavalry was tempting, Yanglin was also tempting, Li Er was even more tempting on both sides of the guò to plan the overall situation, and a military secret order that even Yanglin did not know was sent out of the camp by the secret guards.
"Why does my father wear armor?"
"It's convenient to kill the enemy tomorrow."
"Tomorrow there is an enemy to kill?"
"Yes."
The question and answer between Yang Lin and Li Er was simple and clear, but Li Chengqian, who listened to it, was confused, and Li Chengqian, who originally thought that he would praise himself, withdrew from the camp early under Li Er's blank eyes.
"How will the Turks cross the river?" Yang Lin hid the mobile phone in his pocket, fished out the two plates of food on Li Er's case and ate it, speaking of which, the most big and small in front of Li Er is Yanglin, but Li Er also likes this kind of Yanglin the most.
"If it weren't for the two methods of freezing and building a pontoon bridge, according to your and Qin Tianjian's predictions, there would be no snow this winter, then the Turks would only choose to build a pontoon bridge, and if they wanted to erect a pontoon bridge under the fire of the two ships riding the wind and waves, the Turkic army would kill a lot of people, and the vanguard army was all Turkic young and strong, and it was impossible for Ashina Tusu to sacrifice his warriors to build a bridge, so they were very likely to drive the Han people to build a bridge tomorrow." Li Er is worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran, and he is very precise in his understanding of the rebels' thoughts.
"In this way, the combat mission of our naval army tomorrow will be very limited, by the way, I heard that the training of the Condor hand on the grassland is extremely difficult, in addition to the amazing strength of the natural arm, the eyesight and the continuous practice of the day after tomorrow are also very important, just now the retainer almost folded in the hand of the Condor hand, fortunately Erfan rescued me, tomorrow the retainer plans to meet their Condor hand, if you can kill one or two, I believe that Ashina Tusu will be very painful." Yang Lin has never been interested in food that is not delicious enough, so he ate a few bites hastily, and stopped eating it after making sure that it could replenish the calories he consumed, gargling his mouth.
"Condor Hand? They're precious! It's not easy to kill them, there are two Condor Hands in my secret guards, I dare to say, even if my army is defeated, the one who can survive to the end of the chaotic army must be the Condor Hands, you still have to pay attention to your own safety first, for the Tang Dynasty, you are more precious than all their Turkic Condor Hands combined. Hearing that Yanglin was sniped by the Condor Hands, Li Er was also shocked in his heart, it was impossible for him to see all the arrows clearly on the battlefield, but fortunately, Yang Lin came back intact, as for the Condor Hands, it was better to hand it over to the inner servants with strong martial arts to deal with.
"Erchen also thinks so, so I don't plan to get on the ship tomorrow, just send Erfan to command the battleship, he won't waste gunpowder like Cheng Qian." Yang Lin said shamelessly, he didn't feel that it was a shame to be afraid of death on the battle array, and he withdrew from the tent after washing his greasy hands with a basin of water that Li Er hadn't used yet.
"Hehe, this kid, you don't need to worry about it at all, but Cheng Qian, hey!" Li Er first smiled, and then sighed, Li Chengqian will be fourteen years old soon, but he still hasn't let Li Er see his wisdom, judging from today's appearance, he even has a thirst for killing in his bones, compared with Yanglin's calm and wisdom, even Feng Zhidai in Lingnan can throw him two streets, and the Turks may drive the Han people to build a pontoon bridge is what Feng Zhidai thought of, but after seeing that the craftsman supervisor sent a hundred pairs of plate armor and Mo knives just right, Li Er felt that Yanglin might have anticipated the possibility of this earlier.
The winter nights are very long, and the moon will appear brighter during this long night, and the dark guards hunt by the cold wind of the Weishui River, and they have hunted several groups of people who have tried to smuggle to the other side, or board the ships to ride the wind and waves.
In Yanglin's military tent, Wang Erniu carefully wiped the shotgun, and in order to carry the gun for Yanglin, he even temporarily left his newlywed daughter-in-law.
"Erniu, I think Erxuan can open her sister's door for you for one sweet potato, she can close her sister's door for two sweet potatoes, Erla can let you into her bed for two sweet potatoes, and let you marry another concubine for four sweet potatoes, brother will give you eight sweet potatoes and let you find two concubines to go to your commotion." Yang Lin covered his nose and fell on the bed, and his rolling eyelids showed that he was very resistant to the smell of Wang Erniu.
Wang Erniu sniffed his Gaziwo and felt that there was nothing unusual, but he still boiled a large bucket of hot water according to the meaning of the little fairy, and prepared to take a beautiful bath.
"Leader Zhao, the people we sent out were all killed by the emperor's secret guards, if the news can't be sent, what if the lord accidentally falls into the emperor's trap?" A short soldier half-covered his lips with his hands on the other side of the corner and said to the military academy that looked like a military officer.
"We don't have many people, we can't send them out to die, look at the situation on the other side, we will definitely cross the river tomorrow to fight, we just need to do this, the Lord will know what to do." The military academy said a lot of detailed plans, but he didn't want these words to be understood by Wang Erniu, who was comfortably soaked in the bathtub.
The camp tent of the Tang army is very simple, usually a shed is built, and a layer of linen cloth is sealed around and on the top is done, plus this is a big tent for bathing, basically no one patronizes it in the cold weather, and Wang Erniu, who squinted his eyes in the big bathtub and took a hot bath, did not make any noise, so he listened to the conversation between the two people who were only a cloth away.
"These chops inside and out, they actually want to harm us, no, this matter has to be reported to the little fairy immediately." Wang Erniu, who overheard the speeches of the two military schools, shivered in the hot water, and after the two people who were talking left, he didn't care about the cold, and hurriedly went back to report to Yanglin.
"What, Erniu, the commotion is not like this, you have to find a woman to do it, being shirtless on a cold day will only make you feel cold all over, I know about this, you quickly put on your clothes and follow me to the emperor's place!" Yang Lin put a pistol in his waist, put on his small fur coat, and walked out of the camp. (To be continued......)
