Strictly speaking, what Sun Mingyan was holding in his hand was not a bow, but a crossbow machine.

In later generations, Guo Ye, who was a pseudo-military fan, still remembered that this kind of crossbow machine had its own special name, called Fuyuan crossbow.

The Fuyuan crossbow, one of the four major crossbow machines in the Tang Army, was designed for cavalry use, with an effective range of 300 paces, about 450 meters.

The characteristics of this crossbow are that it is lightweight, dexterous and easy to carry, and the range and accuracy are above ordinary bows and arrows, and it is mostly equipped with elite cavalry in the army.

Usually an elite cavalryman, in addition to being equipped with a horizontal sword, is a pair of Fuyuan crossbows and thirty-six iron-tailed crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrows are made of fine iron from beginning to end, and after being installed and fired, due to the relationship between the iron of the material, they often shoot out with a sharp roar, and the sound is like thunder. Therefore, the matching arrow of the Fuyuan crossbow is also called the "Lei Gong Arrow".

Sure enough, Sun Mingyan handed over the Fuyuan crossbow to Guo Ye with one hand, and untied an animal skin quiver from his waist, which contained Lei Gong arrows, about thirty or so arrows.

Guo Ye put the Fu Yuan crossbow in his hand and checked it, because the materials of the casting crossbow machine are all made of fine iron, and the weight is full, and he can't help but praise: "It's not light, it's not heavy, it's just right." Old Sun, how did you get this good thing? ”

Sun Mingyan's answer stunned Guo Ye again, only to hear Sun Mingyan say: "This crossbow machine was brought to my little brother by Xu Chongnian, the old owner of Shi Weitian, just now on the road, he said that Zhu Bantou was in too much hurry before, and he forgot to present this thing." ”

Xu Chongnian again?

Guo Ye didn't know what to do in his heart, what was the origin of this old owner Xu Chongnian?

A small county businessman actually presented himself with good things one after another.

First the tiger head Zhan golden gun, then the Mingguang armor, even the most strictly controlled in the army, the cavalry special Fu Yuan crossbow he has, is this still the ability of a restaurant owner in a small county town?

What makes Guo Ye most curious is, why does Xu Chongnian favor him so much?

Could it be because he organized two hundred county officials to defend the city and shelter 80,000 people in Longxi?

For this reason alone, Guo Ye's own explanation is a bit far-fetched.

Suddenly, a picture appeared in Guo Ye's heart, the weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting - not good.

Or in other words, nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief.

While thinking about it, Guo Ye put a big question mark on Xu Chongnian, a seemingly gentle old man.

"Little brother, the city gate downstairs was hit too hard by thieves, and our brothers can't stop it!!"

Suddenly, Pang Feihu ran up to the city tower and yelled at Guo Ye.

Belch?

Guo Ye immediately stopped the cranky thoughts in his heart, and instructed Sun Mingyan: "Old Sun, thank you for bringing the brothers over to help. Little brother, I won't be hypocritical with you, you should now quickly send two hundred brothers to the city gate, let them obey Pang Feihu's orders, and work together to guard the city gate. ”

Sun Mingyan knew that the situation was grim at this time, and he didn't care about being polite, so he hurriedly shouted the names of several playful little leaders, asking them to hurry downstairs with their brothers and block the city gate.

At the same time, Guo Ye took out a Lei Gong arrow from the quiver and loaded it into the Fuyuan crossbow machine, then held up the crossbow machine with both hands, squinted at Zheng Sanjiang who was a few hundred meters away with one eye, and snorted: "If you don't shoot an arrow to kill you, I'm sorry for this Fuyuan crossbow in Lao Tzu's hand." ”

Call~~

Guo Ye took a deep breath, the center of gravity of his body sank and steadied his steps, slowly calming his mind, and then holding his breath, secretly counting.

Three

Two

One

Barta,

Guo Ye's index finger pulled the trigger of the crossbow.

Airplanes!

The Fu Yuan crossbow machine in his hand trembled suddenly, and only a "whoosh" sound was heard, and Lei Gong's arrow came out of the machine, and rushed towards Zheng Sanjiang with a roar like thunder

Flutter!

"Ahh My eyes...... It hurts me, my eyes, my ......"

I saw Zheng Sanjiang, who was still standing in the crowd just now waving his arms and giving orders, suddenly fell to the ground as if he had been hit by a strong impact, and rolled on the ground with his hands covering his eyes.

Obviously, the crossbow arrow fired by Guo Yekou hit Zheng Sanjiang, but unfortunately it did not pass through the throat, but shot into the opponent's eye socket.

Because the enemy group at this time suddenly became a pot of porridge because of Zheng Sanjiang's attack, Guo Ye couldn't tell whether he shot Zheng Sanjiang's right eye or his left eye.

It's a pity that he couldn't kill with one hit.

At this moment, a terrible shout suddenly came from the crowd on the other side: "Leader Zheng is dead, dead, brothers, run for your life!" ”

Rumble~~

The already chaotic enemy group was even more panicked at this time because of the spread of this sentence, one passed ten, ten passed hundred, and even the thieves who were still working together to hit the city gate and climb the city tower in front of them slowed down their hands and feet.

Guo Ye was killed by an arrow, and the dragons were leaderless.

Because of Zheng Sanjiang's death, for a while, hundreds of thieves were obviously in chaos, shouting to retreat, and under the chain effect, even the thieves who had achieved quite an effect in front of them lost their backbone because of Zheng Sanjiang's death, and they were racing to retreat back with the tide.

In view of this, the first wave of the siege of the bandit army had failed, and hundreds of people left seventy or eighty corpses in a panic and fled in a rout.

"Hit, shot, the thief Zheng Sanjiang is dead, haha!"

"The thieves have retreated, retreated!"

"Haha, hahaha, the dog crumbs have retreated, we won, we won."

"Brother Guo of Longxi, one arrow will determine the east gate, kill the head of the thief, and hundreds of people will flee from the wind."

"Little brother is mighty, little brother Guo is mighty, my Longxi government is strong!"

At this time, on the gate of Longxi City, it was in stark contrast to the defeat and retreat of the thieves.

Nearly 100 officials and 300 pouts who came to reinforce shouted and cheered to celebrate the victory in the first battle of defending the city.

Zhu Fatzi, Pang Feihu, Sun Mingyan and others ran to Guo Ye's side, surrounded him like stars and moons, and blurted out praise to each other:

"Brother Guo is good at archery, it's not an exaggeration to wear Yang in a hundred steps."

"Brother Guo, there is really you, you are really hidden, tell Lao Pang quickly, what other skills do you Guo Ye can't have?"

"That's that, our little brother Guo is not only strategizing to win a thousand miles, but also eighteen kinds of martial arts, and he is proficient in everything!"

The last sentence ** naked sycophant, naturally it is not a person like Zhu Fatzi who has no lower limit of discipline to dare to say it so shamelessly.

Compared with everyone's celebration and optimism, Guo Ye was not complacent, on the contrary, there was more solemnity between his eyebrows.

Because he thought that the army of thieves was known to be nearly a thousand people, and only 300 people were dispatched in this battle just now, and the east gate was forced so embarrassed that it was almost not breached.

It is conceivable that if the thieves make a desperate gamble and launch a thousand people to sweep again, then how long will the East Gate last?

One day?

Or two days, three days?

But this is not the deadline that Guo Ye wants, according to Ma Yuanju, he Guo Ye must lead the crowd to hold out for fifteen days, at least fifteen days, and the reinforcements from the Zhichong Governor's Mansion in Yizhou County can arrive for reinforcements.

Hehe, fifteen days, Guo Ye suddenly had a trace of ominousness in his heart, with two hundred unfamiliar servants with knives and bows and three hundred rabble of ragtags, he wanted to resist the siege of nearly a thousand fierce thieves.

How easy it is to say that!

The first battle was almost broken through the city gate, and the difficulty and tragedy of the subsequent battle can be imagined.

At this time, Guo Ye could only silently pray for the early arrival of reinforcements, and of course, there was also a message reply to Cheng Erniu's entrustment as soon as possible

In the camp of thieves not far from the east gate, hundreds of people fled back, and Zheng Sanjiang's body was also dragged back.

Meng Laogui looked at Zheng Sanjiang's corpse on the ground, and an arrow in his right eye, the arrow directly penetrated the bead of his right eye and penetrated the back of his head.

Tsk, Zheng Sanjiang's face is hideous, and his facial features are distorted, which shows the pain when he is dying.

The second master, Zhao Jiuchou, squatted on the ground to test the undrawn iron arrow, smacked his lips in disbelief and sighed: "How is it possible?" This is a special crossbow arrow for crossbow machines, only in the Tang Border Guards, how can they appear on the city gate defenders in Longxi County? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Jiuchou rushed to the military advisor Guan Jiu as if he was making trouble for some reason, grabbed him by the collar, and scolded: "You thief bird, didn't you say that there are only two hundred vulnerable officials guarding Longxi City?" You mouth full of spitting dogs, Lao Tzu has to hack you alive! ”

As he spoke, he drew his knife and prepared to kill Guan Jiu on the spot.

Guan Jiu wow wow screamed and shouted: "Big boss, help, Zhao Jiuchou killed people in front of you, this is to rebel against you!" ”

"Paralysis," Zhao Jiuchou listened to Guan Jiu's eyes at this juncture, and scolded angrily, "When death is on the verge of death, you dare to sow discord, Lao Tzu is not ............"

"Second child, stop!"

Meng Laogui drank the rampaging Zhao Jiuchou, and then spoke for Guan Jiujiu, and said: "Don't blame the military advisor for this, Zheng Sanjiang fought the first battle just now, and the master could see it clearly, if it wasn't for the fact that this guy was killed by the other party's crossbow arrows, this east gate might have been captured." It can be seen that the defense of the head of Longxi City is indeed loose, and it is only to blame Zheng Sanjiang, an unlucky ghost, who died early and messed up the team. ”

Meng Laogui is not a fool in the end, and he can still hit the nail on the head at a critical time.

After listening to Meng Laogui's analysis, Zhao Jiuchou slowly relaxed the hand on Guan Jiu's collar.

Guan Jiu dove was like being amnestied, rubbed it, and walked around behind Meng Laogui like a fleeing monkey, and did not hesitate to sing praises and praises: "The great boss is wise, and in the end it is not comparable to some vulgar men." ”

Paralysized, Zhao Jiu looked at Guan Jiu with ugly eyes, and did not forget to block Lao Tzu when he patted his ass, do you want to find death?

However, Meng Laogui ignored the two of them this time, but shook his head dejectedly and sighed: "But it can be seen that there are also capable people on the tower of this Longxi county, dare to love us to kick the iron plate and gnaw the hard bones." ”

Zhao Jiuchou listened to the big boss's frustrated words, and couldn't help but ask: "Big brother, is it possible that we have suffered this big loss in vain and failed to retreat?" ”

"Neither nor not!"

Guan Jiujiu, who was hiding behind Meng Laogui, suddenly cocked his tail again and did not know whether he was alive or dead, and shook his head and teased Sven: "Big boss, in fact, things have not yet reached the point of withdrawing troops, the students already have a plan in their hearts, as long as they act according to the plan, the students dare to guarantee that within two days, our army will be able to break through Longxi County!"
