"Huh!" Ah Gui sneered: "Master Ke, could you have thought that Lord Jinong would build a city at the mouth of the Amur River from the sea and attack you from the north?" The art of war is unexpected, if even you know it, then Dongyu has already known it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The long-faced man was suddenly dumbfounded, and Zu Kefa said in a deep voice: "There is no need to argue whether this kind of thing is true or not, anyway, when the time comes, we will all know, my lord, tell me what you want us to do!" ”

"Okay, Master Zu is really a smart person!" Ah Gui smiled: "It's very simple, I just need you to stay here now, don't do anything!" Speaking of this, he sat down, Ye Dacheng stood behind him with a knife, and there were more than a dozen fierce knife-wielding men standing around, and everyone in the courtyard exchanged glances, and they had to sit down one after another.

Zu Kefa sat there, but he couldn't help but regret secretly in his heart, Ye Dacheng was his subordinate, and the relationship was not bad on weekdays, but he was invited here today on a whim, but he didn't expect the other party to harbor evil intentions and do such a thing. Although I didn't know about it in advance, since I was implicated, it was not so easy to get out. Losing one's life is a small matter, but implicating the family is a big matter. Thinking of this, he felt as if there were a few more nails under his buttocks, and he couldn't sit down anymore, and asked in a deep voice, "My lord, are you going to sit down like this?" ”

"Oh!" Ah Gui smiled: "What's the matter, what does Master Zu have to say?" ”

Zu Kefa's face was slightly red, and he coughed: "I don't dare to be a teacher, but since a few of us are now detained here, and our lives are at stake, we have to ask more." How are you going to arrange for us? ”

"Don't dare to make arrangements!" Ah Gui smiled: "I just dare to ask, the ancestor of Zu Ze who guards the east gate is your cousin, right?" ”

"Not bad!" Zu Kefa frowned: "What do you want to do?" Although he is my cousin, there are many brothers in my family, and my friendship with him is only average, and I am afraid that it will not be possible for you to convince him! ”

"Not really!" Ah Gui smiled: "We are all warriors with bows and arrows, and it is a matter of scholars to play tricks!" Master Zu, let's just make a bet, if I win, you will honestly listen to my orders, and you must not disobey! ”

"What if I win?" Zukova asked, "You're going to let me go?" ”

"This is related to the outcome of this battle, and naturally it will not be successful!" Ah Gui smiled: "But if you win, I can have someone tie you up and find a hidden corner to hide, anyway, success or failure, this night will be clear, even if we lose, it will not implicate you!" ”

Hearing this, Zu Kefa's heart moved, the ancestral family was born in Liaodong, and he had practiced the art of arching horses since he was a child, although he didn't dare to say that he could wear Yang in a hundred steps, but a bow, a Hulu arrow, and a horse in hand, it was no problem for twenty or thirty foot soldiers to get close. Anyway, bet on this game with the other party, and there is nothing to lose if you lose, anyway, I am anxious for the knife for the fish***, and the other party put the knife on his neck, and he is not only obedient to the order to score? If you win, you may be able to get out of this trouble. Thinking of this, he made up his mind in his heart: "If you are sparse in the bow horse for a long time, you will definitely not be able to catch up with the adults, but since you want to shoot, then you can't shirk it, please shoot first, let me watch and learn some from the side!" ”

Gui smiled, stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and tightened them with his belt. The attendants had already taken the horned bow and Hu Lu, and Ah Gui took the arrow and wound it, looked left and right, and found that there was a wooden barrel under the eaves in the corner of the courtyard, which was probably used to hold the rain dripping under the eaves, so as not to damage the foundation of the wall. He pointed to the barrel and smiled, "We'll use the barrel as a target!" ”

Zu Kefa looked in the direction of Ah Gui's finger, and couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, Ye Dacheng is a martial artist, and he often practices martial arts and archery in the backyard on weekdays, so the area of the backyard is not small, and the wooden barrel is about seventy or eighty steps away from Ah Gui. Such a big target is a lot of work for a disciple like him who has been used to shooting since childhood, and it seems that the opponent's archery skills are just commonplace.

Ah Gui hooked the bow, tried the bow twice, pulled a full bow, and turned back to the crowd: "I want to shoot this arrow at the wooden stopper on the side of the barrel, if it misses, don't make fun of it!" ”

Before the words fell, Ah Gui turned the bow to his left hand at lightning speed, moved the bow from his chest to his back, and shot an arrow from the back of his left hand.

"What a quick skill!"

"What a backhand turning arrow!"

Seeing Ah Gui's wonderful performance, everyone couldn't help but admire, these people are all professional soldiers. From the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the tactics of the Nine-sided Ming Army gradually moved closer to their main enemy, the Mongols, and no longer relied on neat and orderly infantry phalanxes and firearms, but on the assault, detour, and rush of a small number of elite cavalry. Under this tactical system, these elite horsemanship and martial arts are particularly important. And these people are the best of the nine sides, and they immediately saw the way of Ah Gui Fangcai. It is important to know that the average person holds a bow in his left hand and hooks the string in his right hand, so a knight's shooting range is actually only his left side, and his right side is a shooting dead end. However, Ah Gui is holding a bow in his right hand and hooking the string in his left hand, which shows that he can shoot left and right, without shooting dead ends. The archers of the ancient nomads had a special move in the face of the enemy infantry, that is, they shot the enemy with a turning arrow while riding their horses back, because the speed of the cavalry was faster than the infantry in formation, so the infantry could never catch up with the enemy, and they could not run, only in a passive situation. Because the Parthians were so good at this tactic, the Romans had a proverb that "all other peoples attack forward, but the Parthians attack backwards!" "Fang Cai Ah Gui's back shot is a high-level kung fu of the turning arrow, the action is small, the concealment is strong, and the enemy chasing behind me may not see what is going on, and he has already been hit by an arrow in the head. As for not shooting the plug, it's just a slight flaw in the white jade, after all, it's just the difference between shooting the nose or the eye on the battlefield, even if you don't die, you're seriously injured.

At this time, Ah Gui had already caught the second arrow, but he didn't play any new tricks this time, he filled the bow and shot an arrow, and this time he hit the plug. The crowd also let out a low exclamation, but the cheers were much sparse compared to the first arrow.

Zu Kefa stood aside, thinking to himself that his archery skills would be reluctant to hit the plug honestly, but he would never be able to do it like Ah Gui's first arrow before. Just shoot three arrows honestly, as long as they all hit the plug, they can barely say that they have won the other party.

Zukefa was making his calculations, but Gui did not shoot the third arrow immediately, but stretched out his hand to summon his attendant and said a few words, and the attendant ran to the barrel and pulled out the first arrow, which already contained half a bucket of rainwater, and saw that the water flowed out of the crack left by the arrow.

"That's a lot of strength!" Zu Kefa couldn't help but gasp, it is said that it is not difficult to shoot through the barrel seventy or eighty steps away, he can also do it, but he also has to put on a good posture, use enough strength, turn his back and release the arrow like a lightning bolt like Fang Cai Agui, and use his left hand to hook the string, ten percent of his strength can make six or seven achievements are good. However, he can shoot an arrow through a barrel, and his skill can be imagined, if he is on the battlefield, even if he does not shoot the throat or face, which is not covered by armor, he can penetrate the armor.

At this time, Ah Gui had already shot two arrows, and he had a good grasp of the wind direction and bow strength. An arrow had already flown out in response, like chasing wind and lightning, impartially, just through the opening of the first arrow wedge, and tightly jammed the opening, revealing only half of the arrow feathers, and the water flow was blocked at once.

There was a deathly silence in the courtyard, and all eyes were focused on the feathered arrow stuck in the barrel, dumbfounded. Ah Gui walked up to Zu Kefa, presented the bow to Hu Lu with both hands, and said with a smile: "Do you want to try the bow first?" I've got four or five bows here, all of them are good, you can pick one! ”

"That's it!" Zu Kefa pushed away the bow and Hu Lu, and said with a wry smile: "One arrow suffocates the hole of the barrel, the general's divine shooting, the ancient Li Guang and the adoptive uncle are just like this, in the next two three-legged cat kung fu, it is still clumsy!" ”

"So you're throwing in the towel?"

"Hmmm! Obey the general's dispatch! Zu Kefa nodded, as a martial artist, he knew very well the value of martial arts that Ah Gui had just shown, and a marksman like this on the battlefield could sometimes even play a role in turning the tide of battle, and any general would regard it as a treasure and put it by his side. His appearance in Shengjing City was already a strong proof of what he had just said. After all, if he was Liu Cheng, he would not send such a valuable talent to the enemy's lair to die.

"Okay, Master Zu, you will definitely not regret the decision you made today!"

Shengjing East Gate.

"Lao Jiu, are you going out of the city at this time?" Zu Zeyuan looked at Zu Kefa, his father is Zu Dashou's younger brother Zu Daquan, and Zu Kefa Zu Dashou's younger brother Zu Dabi, the two are cousins, but Zu Zeyuan is much older than Zu Kefa, and he became famous much earlier, as early as when Yuan Chonghuan was guarding Ningyuan, he was already a famous general in the Ming army, but in the battle of Dalinghe when Zu Dashou negotiated with Houjin, Zu Kefa was left in the Houjin camp as a hostage, and he was trusted by Houjin Emperor Taiji because of the blessing of misfortune, but he came back and was above Zu Zeyuan, Therefore, in Zu Zeyuan's heart, he was faintly jealous of his cousin.

"Yes! At the behest of my father, I went to the Zhuangzi outside the city, and there were some things to arrange! Zu Kefa nodded, trying his best to pretend to be relaxed, behind him Ah Gui and another retinue dressed as personal soldiers, and he could even feel the hard object on his waist. He knew very well that if a knife pierced from there and damaged the kidney water, even if he didn't die on the spot, he couldn't save him.

"Go to Zhuangzi to arrange it?" Zu Zeyuan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately showed a look of understanding on his face, as a high-ranking general in the Han army, he naturally knew very well about the Jurchen high-level infighting. Uncle asked Zu Kefa to go to Zhuangzi at this time, isn't there something wrong with going there to prepare in advance? It seems that the uncle trusts him the most among his sons and nephews! Zu Zeyuan felt a sour taste in his heart, but he also knew that now was not the time to care, so he nodded and ordered his subordinates behind him: "Quickly open the small door!" ”

When he arrived at the door, Zu Kefa turned around and said to Zu Zeyuan: "Sixth brother, don't let others know about my outing, and besides, I will rush back before dawn, and you will still be on duty here at that time!" ”

"Well, don't worry, these are all my personal soldiers, and no one will talk much!"

Zu Kefa and his entourage went out of the east gate and beat their horses for more than 100 steps, Zu Kefa smiled bitterly: "General, you don't have to be so tight now, right?" ”

"Laughing!" Ah Gui smiled, and slightly fell half a horse's body away from the other party, anyway, with his own archery skills, Zu Kefa would definitely not be able to run. The group turned over a mound, Ah Gui looked around, jumped off the horse, took out the fire sickle and lit the fire, lit the torch prepared in advance, turned a few circles, and then waited quietly for a while, after about a meal, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance. Ah Gui stood up vigilantly, took the bow and arrow in his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Sulu ingot! ”

"Eight White Rooms!" The sound of horses' hooves stopped, and a deep baritone voice was heard.

Hearing the pre-agreed incision, Gui breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed the bowstring and asked in a deep voice, "Where are they in Acton?" ”

"The Bodhisattva is bless us!" The first thing Acton said when he saw Gui was this: "We climbed over the side wall from Fu'an Fort, and then went all the way along the official road to Shenyang, there were not many Ding Zhuang in the villages on both sides of the road, and there were only old and weak people in Tunbao, and they all regarded us as an army that had been requisitioned and rushed to Shengjing!" ”

"There's nothing strange about that!" Ah Gui said with a smile: "In order to replenish the losses in the Baiger River, Dolgon and they have requisitioned every strong man who can levy and send away, and the rest are naturally old and weak, and in order to suppress Zierharang and Daishan, as well as to conquer the Zhenglan Banner, his army is very frequent, not to mention the help of this one!" Speaking of this, Ah Gui smiled at Kupilon, who had been silent on the side, and said, "Who else knows the inside story of the Eight Banners better than General Kupilon?" ”

"Suppilon, is it really you? You're alive? Zu Kefa, who was standing behind Ah Gui, gasped: "You're not dead?" "After he was a hostage in the Jurchen camp, the one who was in charge of guarding him was Kubilong, and the relationship between the two was not bad. In order to cover up the ugly things he had done, Dorgon condemned both Suppilon and Aobai to be killed in battle, and Zukoffa was naturally startled when he saw the living at once.
