Chapter 273: Long-range sniping
Luo Shixin, Li Shimin, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chi Jingde, Hou Junji, and the selected soldiers of the Qin Wangfu, who were less than 60 people, stepped on the thorny grass, climbed over the cliffs of the mountain, and unknowingly came to the rear camp of Yang Wengan's rebels.
It was now early in the morning, and Yang Wengan's military camp was silent, and the campfire was lit, presenting the huge 30,000 soldiers and horses in front of everyone.
Luo Shixin stood at a high place and pitched the entire camp, the camp was overlapped, the layers were clear, and the huge camp was arranged extremely compactly, which showed that the people in the camp were indeed extraordinary, and they couldn't help but praise: "This Luo Yi is still a bit level, and this camp is arranged." If you don't have a certain number of troops, you can't think of a way to take him down in a short time. ”
Li Shimin also smiled: "Luo Yi can dominate Youzhou for a while, naturally not to be underestimated. Yang Wengan, a useless guy, is really tricky to get his help......" He said this, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Luo Yi has changed his formation, this is a double-headed camp." ”
The double-headed camp is a camp laid in the face of the enemy from both sides, based on the center, divided into two ends before and after, in order to deal with the enemy from both sides.
Luo Shixin had never been here before, so he didn't know what it was like, but now that he looks closely, it is really different from what Li Shimin said about the laxity in the rear. The purpose of the village is to defend, the defensive center of gravity of the double-headed camp is at both ends, and now the rear camp has also been arranged as the center of gravity of defense, so naturally there is no concept of laxity in the rear.
After thinking about it, he smiled bitterly: "It must be that they learned that the Tianjie Army was coming, and in order to prevent attacks from both ends, Luo Yi and they temporarily changed the camp. ”
Li Shimin's expression was also a little heavy, they were few but elite. It is not difficult to break through in the slack camp of the other side. But now the rear camp of the other side has also become the front battalion, and more than ten of them have been discovered. There will be thousands of sieges, and the difficulty of breaking out of the camp has increased more than tenfold.
"It's all about the watchtowers!" Luo Shixin pointed to the three watchtowers in the shape of a zigzag, the nearest one was within eighty paces of them, the middle one was nearly a hundred paces, and the farthest one was one hundred and twenty or thirty paces.
"The nearest watchtower has a view of where we are, and we can't hide from him as we climb down this cliff. He had to die. He died but could not hide from the second watchtower sentry, and the second sentry could not hide from the third sentry if he died. Their plan could only be carried out if they were shot at the same time. Otherwise, it's all empty talk. ”
Luo Shixin's words fell, and everyone else understood the meaning.
The key to this breakthrough lies in the war horse, even if it is possessed by the overlord of Western Chu, he only relies on a pair of legs. It is also impossible to kill a team of more than 1,000 people. But with horses it's different. With unparalleled bravery, combined with the maneuverability breakthrough ability of the war horse, the combat effectiveness of a fierce general can be multiplied.
Now it is their priority to get through one stronghold and get their horses to the next, and if they are found at the beginning and get entangled in the sea of people, it is impossible for them to break through this camp and reach the next camp to get their horses.
"The key is the third sentinel, preliminary estimates. There is a sword of more than one hundred and thirty steps, which has exceeded the effective range of the bow and arrow. Li Shimin had already taken the longbow from his back. He shook his head with a bow, not much sure.
"He'll give it to me!" At this time, Luo Shixin also took the broken crossbow bow in his hand, looked at the dark shadow in the distance, and said, "I have the confidence to take his life." ”
Li Shimin looked at Luo Shixin in surprise, he knew Luo Shixin's martial arts, but he had never heard how powerful his arrows were, especially when Luo Shixin followed him to march and fight in the past, he didn't even prepare bows and arrows, and only relied on swords and guns to kill the enemy and break the formation.
"With its help, it shouldn't be a problem!" Luo Shixin showed off his treasure bow and showed the word eldest grandson on the bow.
"Broken Bow!" Li Shimin, as the inheritor of the dragon sword of the eldest grandson's family, naturally knew that this broken bow came from the eldest grandson's family and returned to Shi Wansui, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes. As an archer who is known for his good shooting, it is a dream to have a weapon like the Broken Bow.
Of course, this admiration is just a flash, and with Li Shimin's open-mindedness, he will not covet a strong bow.
Just looked at Luo Shixin with an unexpected gaze, and had some expectations in his heart, Li Shimin smiled: "According to legend, the magic weapon is also a matter of choosing the master, since the general has obtained the Broken Bow, this technique must not be bad." Since the general has that confidence, the thief will be handed over to the general. Junji, you shoot the first person, and the one in the middle will be handed over to me. ”
Hou Junji responded with some displeasure, he didn't want to lose to Luo Shixin if he lost to anyone, but Li Shimin's order had to be listened to.
"Wait for the general to give the order, you say shoot, let's shoot together. Shubao, Lao Cheng, you are ready to climb down...... When the siege is broken, you will go with the general to help him deal with the Turks...... General, several of your subordinates have stayed in Phoenix Valley to help the second sister guard the valley, and there should be a lack of useful people beside you. Transfer Shubao and Lao Cheng to you, and the Turks will be handed over to your brothers. ”
"No!" Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin received orders together.
Luo Shixin was even more overjoyed, even if Li Shimin didn't say anything, he would ask him for a few people to use in the future. At this critical time, he found that there were still fewer talents around him, and there was no one available for two points, especially the riders. Originally, I had to leave one by my side, and after a careful analysis of Mo Hu'er and Xue Yong's riding skills, Kratos simply didn't know how to ride a horse. This breakthrough relies on riding skills, and Luo Shixin doesn't want his already small number of members to be handed over here, so he simply doesn't bring any of them.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin had already noticed his situation here, and directly gave him Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, two extremely brave generals.
"His Royal Highness King Xie Qin!"
Seeing that Li Shimin and Hou Junji were ready, he didn't say anything more, held his breath and concentrated, and his eyes fell on the farthest sentry.
Take the arrow and wind it up and draw the bow!
The simple movements are done by Luo Shixin in one go, and the movements are smooth and beautiful.
Today's Luo Shixin's attainments in bows and arrows are no longer what they used to be.
After Pingyang's guidance, Luo Shixin knew that he had passed the time to get started in archery, and he did not ask for any gorgeous archery skills, considered what exquisite archery techniques, and only practiced the basic skills of bows and arrows.
His six senses and strength are all in line with the conditions of a shooter, and he has been practicing the basic skills hard for a year and a half, day after day, year after year, with almost no interruptions. What's more, he can endure hardships and boring exercises, and his basic skills in archery are not inferior to archers like Li Shimin.
With this move, Li Shimin knew that there was a play, put his mind at ease, and stared at the target.
"Three, two, one...... Shoot! ”
As soon as his voice fell, he only heard a "whoosh".
The sound of the bowstring of the broken bow resounded and suppressed the bowstrings of Li Shimin and Hou Junji.
The three sentries fell in response at about the same time.
"Beautiful!" Li Shimin smiled and admired.
As for who to praise, it is self-evident.
A hundred steps through Yang is the basic condition to describe a marksman, and Hou Junji is nothing to praise for shooting a sentry within eighty paces. Only Luo Shixin's arrow is a distance of one hundred and thirty steps. You must know that the farther you deviate from the effective range, the harder it is to master the hit rate.
Luo Shixin's clean arrow is indeed worthy of praise.
Hou Junji pursed his lips with a little disdain, and said in his heart: "If I have a broken bow in my hand, I can do it lightly." ”
Luo Shixin looked at the fallen target, and a sense of accomplishment also surged in his heart, two years ago, he was a rookie who couldn't even draw a bow and shoot arrows...... Now it can take on the task of blocking.
Of course, he was not complacent, he knew that he could shoot this arrow. The super performance of the Broken Bow is the main contributor, and his level can still be improved, and he can shoot better. Only by giving full play to one's own abilities can one be worthy of the sharp weapon of the Broken Bow.
This arrow also strengthened his belief to continue practicing, ignoring fancy and gorgeous skills, and only practicing the basics.
To be honest, who doesn't like fancy archery, gorgeous archery, and quick arrows with one arrow and three arrows, which makes people's hearts ripple when they think about it. But Luo Shixin found that the more solid his basic skills, the more powerful and long-range the arrows shot by the Broken Bow.
In the past, it was faintly perceived, but today's arrow proves it.
As Pingyang said, the gorgeous skills are also born to kill. Instead of practicing flashy techniques with ten times more effort, practice the basics to the extreme, so that your arrows are more powerful and shoot farther.
Unbeknownst to Luo Shixin, he had chosen a path that was most suitable for breaking the bow.
The Broken Bow is a battle bow to kill the enemy, with killing the enemy as the first element, and the fancy skills are not suitable for the Broken Bow, a powerful bow with amazing strength.
At the moment when they shot the sentry, the soldiers on the cliff had already thrown down the rope ladder for the first time: Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin also went down the ladder one step ahead.
A group of more than ten people went down the cliff, and the remaining fifty shooters on the top of the cliff took the rope ladder back. They were responsible for guarding this only trail, in case Luo Yi and them followed them, from this trail, deep into the Phoenix Valley.
It was early in the morning, and most of the soldiers had gone to sleep, and the camp was heavily defended, but it was not ten steps to a post. Under the cover of the camp tent, more than ten people quietly rushed to the camp next door with Qin Qiong, who was the first to go down the mountain.
Halfway through the line, suddenly the camp was filled with a bang: the night watchman passed by the watchtower and saw a sentry who had been shot dead.
"Rush!"
Li Shimin didn't say a word, and went straight to the camp next door.
Li Shimin: Hurry!
Rosson responds faster!
When the golden gong sounded, he also rushed to the nearby patrol of 10 people like a cheetah, giving Li Shimin and them time to grab the horses.
The patrol was lined up, and Luo Shixin held the tail of the gun with one hand, the tip of the spear passed through the chest of the leader, and as he rushed forward, the spear pierced through the vest of the last man like a skewer.
The whole patrol let him shoot him through the heart. (To be continued......)
