~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The attack of the 500 thieves was ruthlessly slaughtered at a distance of 100 paces, so that the army only advanced to 80 paces before it came to an abrupt halt, and could not advance an inch again. A dozen men, a dozen bows, and an entire battalion of troops were immobilized.

In just half a moment, a dozen men shot thousands of arrows, and instead of covering them, they shot them accurately, and finally routed the entire battalion of troops.

Joy was seen from afar, from the initial thunderstorm, to the last fear. Even when the entourage asked whether to kill the soldiers who fled back, Le only waved his hand weakly. For the first time, he found that remote suppression was so terrifying when it was used to the extreme, and these terrible guys who came out of nowhere taught him a cruel and vivid lesson.

Especially the guy who used the red bow, the shooting was so furious, the killing was so efficient, even if the music was so far away, he had the feeling of liver trembling.

Where such a tough guy came from, Le has no way of knowing, let alone exploring. He only knew one thing, if he didn't transfer all the soldiers and horses back and continue to fight like this, he would soon not besiege and kill the other party, but the opponent would chase and kill him.

This battle made the thieves who witnessed this qiē completely frightened. So much so that the dragon wolf cavalry broke into the hiding place of the thief archers, and after a sweep, everyone quickly withdrew with several bags of arrows on their backs and carried them, and no one dared to step forward to stop the whole process, and the command high platform never issued an order to attack. Because joy knows better than anyone else. His nearly 1,000 subordinates were demoralized and no longer had the courage to attack.

At dusk, the thief army used to set up ambushes and attack Anhui was transferred back one after another, and the strength of the thief army reached more than 3,000 again. However, Le did not attack again, but asked the soldiers of the previous battalion to clean up the battlefield, and then all sent out the village to take over the original team to set up ambushes and monitor Wancheng. This had the advantage of not spreading the day's rout to the returning troops, so that he still had a morale-high and combat-ready army in his hands.

Outside the wooden building, Le was redeploying troops. Secretly ready to go; Inside the wooden building, Ma Han was also holding a round table - of course, there were no tables, just a circle.

"Our arrows can only withstand the next attack of the thief army at most." Ma Han said in a deep voice, "I believe that Le's next attack will be desperate." ”

Gu Qi snapped, broke a curved feather arrow, and shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't stand it." Three of the arrows of these thieves became inferior arrows, either the shaft of the arrow was deformed, or the feathers were lost. It doesn't work at all; Thirty percent can barely be used, but they can't shoot far, and only forty percent are qualified. ”

Ma Han frowned and said, "How many arrows can be used?" ”

"Less than five hundred."

Less than 500? That's an average of 30 arrows per person, if you shoot fast. It was gone in less than a minute.

Ma Han only smiled bitterly: "It's not bad, more than mine." ”

There were four big bags of arrows, a total of 200 arrows. They are equipped with different arrows such as Yanling light arrows, wolf's tooth heavy arrows, armor-piercing cone arrows, as well as chisel arrows, iron arrows, and special sniper arrows. In today's battle, Ma Han has shot all the first three arrows, and in the end, only five chisel arrows remained, and ten iron arrows and five special sniper arrows remained intact.

The hearts of the people became heavier and heavier, and there were no arrows, only close combat. In close combat, casualties are inevitable. Maybe tomorrow, some of them will no longer be able to sit in a circle......

In silence, Ma Han's gaze unconsciously turned to the twelve thick pillars in the building, and suddenly smiled: "Who said we don't have arrows?" ”

……

In the middle of the night, Xiao Qiao was awakened by a "click" sound, she shrunk her body, moved closer to the fire, felt the warmth, and then slowly opened her eyes. Beside her, my sister was sleeping deeply, and not far away, the familiar figure was cutting something cross-legged, and the voice came from there.

Xiao Qiao sat up slowly, tiptoed closer, tilted his head and looked, it turned out that he was cutting wooden arrows, and not only Ma Han was cutting, except for half of the people resting, and the other half of the dragon and wolf horsemen on duty were all cutting wooden arrows. As for the watchman...... It is said that there are horses here, and the so-called sneak attack is just to deliver food.

Xiao Qiao's eyes widened in curiosity, and he found that two thick wooden pillars in the wooden building had been removed in their entirety and used to make wooden arrows. And these wooden arrows have no arrowheads, no arrowheads, and no feathers, except for the sharpened arrows—can such arrows be used?

Ma Han seemed to guess Xiao Qiao's question, and said lightly: "It can be used." Our warriors use strong bows, and even without arrows, they can still be quite lethal against unarmored enemies within fifty paces. Except for a small number of armor soldiers, almost all of the thieves were unarmoured. ”

Xiao Qiao sighed and nodded in understanding, but soon his expression became confused again: "But, how can you shoot arrows without Yu Ling?" ”

Ma Han did not speak, but only buried his head in sharpening the arrow, the short blade was like flying, the sawdust was splashing, and in a short time, a featherless arrow was formed. Ma Han then took out two grooves at the end of the shaft of the arrow, polished it with a piece of rough leather armor, and it was finished.

Ma Han took the Demon Pupil Bow, stuck the featherless arrow on the bowstring, pulled it away gently, stretched the bow nearly halfway, and loosened the string. The featherless arrow let out a strange light roar, spun out, and with a thud, it swooped into the wooden pillar twenty paces away.

Xiao Qiao opened his mouth wide, and immediately became indecent, and quickly covered it with his hand.

More than ten dragon and wolf horsemen, who seemed to be asleep, sat up one after another when they heard the sound, and felt the blades beside them in their hands. After seeing his companions make the gesture of "nothing", they turned their heads back one by one.

Xiao Qiao was full of interest, took a finished featherless arrow, looked at it repeatedly in the light of the fire, and finally saw the doorway, the reason why the arrow can fly steadily without feathers lies in the two grooves at the end of the arrow shaft.

Xiao Qiao didn't quite understand the principle of this, but she wouldn't be entangled, and smiled Mimi and asked Ma Han: "You came up with it?" ”

Ma Han shrugged: "Sort of." ”

Strictly speaking, this is not actually Ma Han's idea, but the wisdom of "posterity". The official name of this arrow is "Wind Feather Arrow", which first appeared in the Song Dynasty. Due to the loss of important places in the northwest of the Song Dynasty, in the absence of military supplies such as horses, arrows, feathers, horns, etc., they had to come up with alternative inventions and equip the Song army in large quantities.

This kind of arrow hollows out both sides of the tail of the arrow, and uses the hollow groove that is recessed inward to create vortex resistance to keep the arrow flying steadily. The advantage is that you don't need tail feathers to fly smoothly, the disadvantage is that the range is not far, about fifty paces, and if you go any further, the balance of the arrow will be affected, and the shooting accuracy is not good. In a word, this kind of arrow is a substitute when there is no way.

Xiao Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, she had learned that the shortage of arrows had also put a lot of pressure on her, and now she ...... Looking at the wind feather arrows piled high in front of him, thinking about the domineering spirit of the horse holding the bow and shooting during the day, I felt a lot more relieved.

Xiao Qiao clasped his hands on his knees, slowly pillowed his chin on his knees, and stared at Ma Han's side with a biased face, two clusters of flames danced in his black pupils that were shining like cat's eyes, and he couldn't tell whether it was the beating of the flames or the rhythm of the heart flames.

The horse warrior was still silently sharpening his arrows, and the dragon and wolf knight guards opposite him, as if they had received some hint, slowly moved their butts in tacit understanding, withdrew four or five paces away, and then turned around in unison, facing each other with their backs.

Only Gucci was still immersed in sharpening the arrow, and when the arrow was sharpened, when he looked up, he was surprised that he was so "prominent". Although he couldn't figure out what the situation was, he still instinctively moved his body and obediently "returned to the team".

The corners of Xiao Qiao's mouth were slightly upturned, and he looked at the three-dimensional face under the shadow of the firelight, hesitated and hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth, lightly opened his lips, and asked quietly: "You...... Is there a marriage contract? ”

She knew she shouldn't ask, because at Ma Han's age, it was unlikely that he wouldn't have a family anyway. But she still asked, because if she didn't ask clearly, she was afraid that after tonight, she would have trouble sleeping.

Ma Han stopped sharpening his arrow and turned his head to look over. Xiao Qiao's heart jumped suddenly, and he ate and "explained": "I...... I asked for my sister......"

A smile bloomed on Ma Han's face: "Why her, not you?" ”

Xiao Qiao lowered his head in a panic: "Say ...... What to say? Don't you know that your arrow stained my sister's innocence. ”

Ma Han smiled: "It's not so strict, right?" Only the three of us know about this, and if no one says anything, no one will know...... Oh, just forget about it. ”

"How can you forget this kind of thing? Everything can be deceived, but idealism cannot be deceived. Xiao Qiao glanced at him in annoyance, "Say, do you have a marriage contract?" ”

"I already have two sons and a daughter." Ma Han did not hide it, "Moreover, there are many wives and concubines." ”

Xiao Qiao's face turned white, and he slowly buried his face between his legs, and there was no sound, only to see his shoulders moving slightly.

Ma Han put down the arrow in his hand and stretched out his palm, wanting to press it on Xiao Qiao's fragrant shoulder to comfort him, but he felt two cold chills in the dark. Looking along the source of the chill, I saw Da Qiao's bright eyes.

Ma Han spread his hands, made an innocent expression to Da Qiao, picked up his knife and arrows, and continued to cut.

The atmosphere was awkward and depressing, with only the sound of knives cutting wooden poles.

Xiao Qiao can ask this, the meaning is very clear, Zhuo Er gentleman, lady is also good. However, the gentleman must be unmarried, or married but widowed. Qiao's family is a famous family in Huainan, and Sun Ce is so domineering in history, he has to obediently serve Da Qiao as the main room, not to mention Zhou Yu.

Although Ma Han's real identity is a general, he can't change this either-Big and Little Qiao can't be concubines.

It's a dead knot, almost unsolvable. In the world, there is only one person who can break this shackle, and that is the Son of Heaven - only the Son of Heaven can marry multiple famous ladies at the same time, and only the Son of Heaven does not have such constraints.

Even if Ma Han is a great general, under one person and above ten thousand people, the distance between that step is the difference between the abyss.

When the heart first blooms, it is silently thanked in the dark night, and the origin is extinguished.

Can Ma Han untie this dead knot? (To be continued......)
