As a son of the Han family from later generations, he was extremely afraid of the Anshi Rebellion that caused the Tang Dynasty to be cut in half, but no one could tell this feeling. Ma Lan sat on the Qinghai skull with a Mo knife, and suddenly felt extremely lonely for a while.

Although the Son of Heaven has inexplicable trust in him, he is old and confused after all, and he can't count on the Son of Heaven to eliminate the crisis of the Anshi Rebellion. That being the case, the second option is to take the risk.

It will soon be November of the twelfth year of Tianbao, and according to the original history, An Lushan should enter the court in a month.

Although he knew that there was little chance of killing An Fatzi by assassination, since the Son of Heaven couldn't count on it, he had to reluctantly try this method.

Chang'an can't be chaotic, the Central Plains can't be chaotic, and once something happens in China, there can be no stability in the Anxi River. Knowing that it was extremely unreliable to rely on assassination to prevent the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Ma Lan had no other choice.

Whether An Lushan was plotting to rebel, or was forced to rebel by Yang Guozhong, this question was not conclusive at all. For Ma Lan at this time, this question is also unanswered. But he can't control it so much, although the assassination of An Fat Man is risky, it must now be on the agenda.

Everyone is drunk and I wake up alone, this feeling is actually not pleasant. Ma Ling bowed to Li Longji, who was smiling kindly, and urged the horse to gallop in the direction of the Anxi army.

Among the cavalry of the Longwu Army around the school ground, the admiring eyes all fell on Ma Luan's body.

Cutting off Li Jing's mount with a knife just now is nothing in the eyes of the Anxi athletes, and everyone knows how powerful their lord will be. However, this scene was very different in the eyes of the cavalry of the Longwu Army.

The self-proclaimed invincible Li Jing was defeated! And it's such an ugly defeat!

There were many good players in the Dragon Martial Army, and almost everyone had been defeated at the hands of that young captain. In the eyes of the cavalry of the Dragon Martial Army, that young lieutenant was an invincible existence.

When they saw Li Jing challenging Ma Lan, the king of Fufeng County, they all hoped that Li Jing could defeat Ma Lan and breathe a sigh of relief for the Longwu Army, but just a face, the strongest man in the Longwu Army was defeated!

is also a seven-foot-tall Angzang man, they don't think that they are inferior to those killers in the border army, but at this moment, they are really convinced by Ma Lu.

The heaviest and strongest in the army, even if it is the Dragon Martial Army, is no exception. The new generation of Tang Army Gods, who can behead the father and son of Tubo Zampu in the midst of thousands of armies, is really an extraordinary and powerful person.

Ma Lu thought about the details of the plan to assassinate An Lushan, and at the same time quickly ordered the athletes to form a formation, with forty cavalry in each column, forming a simple phalanx. All the knights hung their swords on the edge of the saddle, and all took out the leather box containing the Yuan Rong crossbow from their backs, and carefully pulled out the Yuan Rong crossbow.

The cavalry of the Longwu Army retreated to the edge of the school field, and there were only these 800 iron horsemen in the center of the school field. Ma Ling gave an order, and the captains of the school captain team continued to give short orders, and the eight hundred iron horsemen slowly accelerated forward at the same time, and the hooves of the horses covered with shoes stepped on the ground like thunder.

The army rushed like a tide in front of the high platform, and the military appearance was extremely neat, Li Longji said in surprise: "But eight hundred athletes, how can they have such a momentum?" I have watched the military exercises of the Northern Yaban many times, but I have never seen hundreds of people so amazing. ”

Chen Xuanli bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, this Weichen knows. After Ma Renjie returned from the river last time, he had a whim to nail iron pieces on the soles of the horses' feet, so that the horses would not hurt the horse's hooves when they passed through the gravel ground. The reason why there is such a momentum is because these hundreds of athletes are well-trained and the horses are in unison, and the other is because the horses' hooves are nailed with iron plates. My Tang Anxi military horse was originally damaged very quickly, and Ma Renjie came up with the idea of nailing iron pieces on the horse's hooves, which was also a great credit. ”

Li Longji nodded and said with a smile: "Chen Qing, Ma Qingshi defeated Li Jing under your command, and you don't seem to hate him." ”

Chen Xuanli's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although Ma Renjie is rude, what he said is the words of a loyal minister. Your Majesty has such a courtier, and the ministers are happy for Your Majesty, how can they hold a grudge! His Majesty knew Wei Chen when he was in the palace, and Wei Chen has been following His Majesty for more than 40 years, and he still has this bit of open-mindedness. ”

Li Longji laughed, glanced at Yang Guozhong and said, "Yang Qing, do you see it?" This is the prime minister's mind! Chen Qing is a military general, and he can't be the prime minister, but you have to study hard with this mind. ”

Yang Guozhong's face froze, and he nodded hurriedly.

The new army of Anxi turned a corner and galloped back, and immediately the athletes were all two-handed flat-ended steel crossbows, whistling past from the high platform, Li Longji pointed at Ma Ling and said: "These hundreds of people can easily turn without lifting the reins of their horses, why is this?" ”

Chen Xuanli said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is another gadget used by Ma Renjie, what is it called a spur." It is a kind of retractable spike on the boot, which can sting the horse's belly to control the direction, but will not hurt the horse. This kind of thing is extremely ingenious, and only the Anxi army can make this kind of thing at the moment. With this, the cavalry can swing their blades with both hands on their horses, adding a lot of strength. ”

Li Longji nodded and said with a smile: "It's good if it's not good." If it is easy to build, it is not a good thing that the barbarians on the steppe learn it. What those sons are holding in their hands is the Yuanrong crossbow. ”

Chen Xuanli nodded: "It should be." This crossbow comes from Zhuge Wuhou's Yuanrong crossbow, but it is even better, Zhuge Wuhou Yuanrong crossbow has eight short arrows, but this kind of Yuanrong crossbow has ten, and the power is said to exceed Zhuge Wuhou's Yuanrong crossbow. ”

Li Longji nodded, and said with emotion: "Li Linfu owes me a lot of kindness, but I didn't expect Li Xiu to be a person of great talent. Ma Renjie clearly wrote that this Yuan Rong crossbow was made by Li Xiu after he arrived in Anxi, and he was able to kill the Tubo Zampu father and son, relying on this thing. It's a pity that Li Xiu died early, otherwise he would be the best choice to be a master craftsman. ”

"Your Majesty, look, Ma Renjie is about to start!" Chen Xuanli pointed to the middle of the school field.

Li Longji nodded and stared ahead.

At this time, Ma Lan had already galloped to the center of the school with his athletes, which was quite far away from the high platform. There were no crossbow arrows on the previous Yuanrong crossbow, and the hard crossbows in the hands of the athletes at this moment were already full of pure steel arrows that flashed with cold light.

When the army galloped in front of the king, the bow and crossbow naturally could not be used with arrows, otherwise it would be a conspiracy. This position is already more than 200 steps away from the high platform, which is a relatively safe distance.

Ma Lu gave an order, and at the same time gently pulled the machine of Yuan Rong's crossbow, and a steel arrow flew out diagonally. At the same moment, all the athletes wrestled in unison, and a black rain of crossbows suddenly appeared in the sky.

The bolts swirled in the air like snakes, and with a strange screech, they flew into the clearing in the distance. There were more than a dozen puppets covered with broken bright light armor on the clearing, and suddenly the dolls were full of crossbow arrows, and the surrounding ground was also covered with crossbow arrows.

"Three hundred steps! Pierce through the bright light armor! Chen Xuanli's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted loudly.

There was a bang on the high platform, three hundred steps, which is the effective range of the Fuyuan crossbow.

Anxi Jian'er continued to gallop forward, but after galloping more than twenty steps, another rain of arrows flew out, covering the ground behind the puppet.

This interval is extremely short, more than half the interval between archers shooting arrows in succession. There were many generals standing on the high platform, and they were all amazed at this time.

"Woohoo!"

Eight hundred athletes galloped all the way in the school field, shooting crossbow arrows continuously, and the angle was chosen to be the farthest range, and the armored puppets distributed on the school field were knocked down.

Ma Lan took the Anxi athletes to turn a corner, and galloped back to the road, and from time to time crossbow rain flew out overhead. Chen Xuanli's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "Every time it's three hundred steps!" Your Majesty, the range of these Yuanrong crossbows is actually exactly the same, Li Xiu is really talented! ”

Li Longji nodded.

Yang Guozhong suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Ma Renjie is probably less than three hundred steps away from here!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an instant silence on the high platform. Several guards hurriedly carried a large shield and blocked it in front of Li Longji.

"Take it!" Li Longji shouted angrily, "Yang Zhao! Do you really want to mess around? Ma Renjie is my god general, how can I allow you to slander like this? ”

Chen Xuanli waved his hand, and several guards carried the big shield and retreated. Yang Guozhong's face was flushed, and he knelt on the ground with a pop.

As they spoke, the Anzai athletes shot two more waves of arrows, knocking the last few puppets to the ground. Chen Xuanli smiled: "Your Majesty, this is already the tenth arrow!" ”

Li Longji snorted heavily, didn't even look at Yang Guozhong who was kneeling on the ground, and his eyes fell on the Anxi athletes.

The Anxi athletes slowed down their horses, took out steel arrows from their leather bags and pressed them on the Yuanrong crossbow, and then galloped forward. Li Longji stood up and said in a deep voice: "Chen Qing, let them come closer, this is supposed to demonstrate a salvo of ten arrows with a bow, I need to see it clearly." ”

"Your Majesty, no! It's too dangerous! Yang Guozhong exclaimed.

"Shut up! If you talk more, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless! Li Longji said angrily.

Chen Xuanli passed the order, and a captain of the Long Wu Army on the high platform waved the order flag. Ma Lan received the order and immediately galloped over with the Anxi athletes.

"Ma Qing, shoot right here. I'm getting older, and I want to see it better. Li Longji stood on the high platform and said with a heroic smile.

Ma Lan said loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty! In his heart, he deserved to be Li Longji, confused and confused, and the emperor's bearing was still there.

Chen Xuanli and several generals stood on both sides of Li Longji, their expressions becoming solemn. Looking at this, if there is really any accident, they will immediately block the Son of Heaven behind them.

This is the heart of being a courtier, Li Longji naturally will not stop it, and waved his hand to Ma Lan with a smile: "Ma Qing, you can start!" ”

Eight hundred iron horsemen flipped their hooves and rushed forward again. After going around in a circle, he galloped in a direction parallel to the high platform, and Ma Ling gave an order, accompanied by the sound of the machine wrenching, and the sky suddenly darkened.

"Woohoo!"

Dense steel arrows roared and burst out, flying diagonally into the sky in a strange arc, piercing the air and flying into the distance, and then falling rapidly downward. (To be continued.) )
