Chapter 58: The Aftermath
Zhanlong was very painful, he obviously had ten times more troops than Ye Xiaotian, as long as he rushed to the front, he could crush Ye Xiaotian to death with a pile of people, but now he could only be slaughtered by one-sided.
At this distance, the powerful crossbow faced a group of native soldiers who did not even have armor, and it was simply the scythe of death harvesting a flock of defenseless sheep. The crossbow, which has almost been eliminated in the Ming army, shines here.
The crossbow since the pre-Qin period, is a sharp weapon in the army, the Song Dynasty can be operated by a single soldier of the god arm crossbow is even more famous in the world, the effective range of 120 zhang, the same period of the best European single soldier cross crossbow range is only 40 zhang, the British longbow in the Anglo-French Hundred Years War effective range is only more than 70 zhang, the crossbow armor of the Great Song Dynasty in the world.
But since Mengyuan, the crossbow machine has no market. The Mongols' weapon to conquer the world is the compound recurve bow, its range is only more than ten zhang less than the divine arm crossbow, but the frequency of firing is much faster, plus the Mongols are good at riding and shooting, relying on mobile power to fight, the role of the bow is completely overwhelmed by the crossbow.
In the Ming Dynasty, the development of firearms gradually improved, and the annual output of single-barreled firearms reached hundreds of thousands in the Wanli Dynasty, which could fully meet the needs of the army. At this time, the range of the beak gun is already similar to that of the god arm crossbow, but it is much easier to master and operate the beak gun than the crossbow, and in this case, the crossbow of the king of cold weapons has completely entered the cold palace.
This is one of the main reasons why tycoons can buy crossbows for a lot of money, and the army is now only symbolically equipped with some crossbows, but they are no longer taken seriously, which gives greedy officers the opportunity to sell them secretly.
But where did Ye Xiaotian's crossbow come from? It is obtained from the Yongdingwei of Tianmen Mountain in Huguang Road. Yongdingwei had 5,600 men, more than half of whom used firearms, and there were also a number of swordmen, spearmen, gunners, and archers, and there were very few crossbowmen, but there were ninety crossbows lying there in Yongdingwei's armory.
Ye Xiaotian had a big mouth. and asked Yongdingwei for a third. After he was assassinated on the road, he deeply felt the horror of this extremely long-range and silent crossbow machine, especially using it to assassinate, it was simply impossible to prevent it, so when he passed by Yongdingwei, thirty corpses came at once.
Replace it with someone else. It is impossible to get even a crossbow machine from Yongdingwei, but Ye Xiaotian can. Because he has cooperated with the Eagle Party, and the boss of the Eagle Party is Qiao Hanwen, the secretary of the military department. Xiao Sheng, the commander of the Yongding Guard, was the chief of the guard of Lord Qiao Han and Wen Qiao.
Ye Xiaotian strode forward in the accumulation of arrows. The two rows of crossbowmen in front and back took turns firing, and the fire did not stop for a moment, and some people fell heavily in the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, and they lost their breath after a few convulsions.
"Fuck, how many crossbow arrows do they have? Is this the end? Wei Ye hid behind a horse corpse and shouted in horror. Zhanlong turned his head and saw that his people and horses were put down like a stubble like cutting leeks, and his heart was like a knife, which was the core strength of Zhanjiabao.
However, there was a shallow U-shape between their hiding place and the position where Ye Xiaotian's crossbowman was standing, so that it would be difficult for people with nothing to cover even if they fell to the ground, and Zhanlong shouted decisively: "Withdraw!" Retreat now! ”
Although there are only more than 20 people on the other side, the lethality of this crossbow is too terrifying, and what is even more terrifying. Their arrows seemed endless. With such a sharp shooting, they didn't even have a chance to rush over. If you wait any longer, you will be slaughtered.
As soon as Zhanlong gave the order to retreat, the people of Zhanjiabao immediately fled the scene either squatting or crawling. Some even grabbed the corpses of others to fend off crossbow arrows. They crouched like ducks or writhed on the ground like loaches, and when they finally climbed the slope, they were once again desperate.
On the other side of the slope, a group of big men had suddenly appeared. There are more than 100 people, ready for battle. Most of them were dressed in black robes, tall and heroic, with black and red faces and clear contours like knives. His hair was braided, his waist was crossed or diagonally with various waist knives, and he had a hunting bow in his hand, staring at them with cold and fierce eyes.
The people of Zhanjiabao were dumbfounded, these people were dressed in black Yi, and at first glance they were the people of the Liangyue Valley Guoji family, but they could ...... Where did they come from? This is a three-way intersection, one side has been blown up by explosives, one side leads to Zhanjiabao, and the other side is occupied by Tian Miaowen and others, are they flying with wings?
But they immediately discovered that at the mountain junction leading to Zhanjiabao, from the top of the cliff, there were many black Yi climbing down like ancient vine apes that were flexible and difficult to cut off with the sharpest Yi knife in three or five strokes, and their speed was very fast.
Ye Xiaotian dug out the materials buried on the road, and when he found that there was something strange inside and chased with all his might, he had already climbed the fast-paced people and rushed to Liangyue Valley for help. Cool Moon Valley is the closest friendly force to here. The belligerent Gron did not hesitate and immediately brought someone with him.
Zhan Long carried a bloody long knife, climbed over the slope like a ghost gate, threw away a hedgehog-like corpse that was used to cover the crossbow arrows, and just stood up, he saw his men and horses standing there like goose-headed geese.
As soon as his angry shouts rushed to his throat, he saw the Black Yi warriors standing like a mountain in front of him, and Zhanlong was suddenly stunned, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "dang long". Zhang Yi, Zhang Yuhan, Wei Ye, and Cao Ruiyu climbed over one after another, and then fell into a sluggish state like him.
It wasn't until the knife in their hand was disarmed that they woke up from a dream: "It seems...... We are all four of them, and they have been served by a nest! ”
"Miaowen, are you injured?"
Ye Xiaotian walked quickly to Tian Miaowen and the others, and was quite surprised to see that Hong Dashan was also there, but his attention was immediately attracted by the injury on Tian Miaowen's arm. Ye Xiaotian walked over quickly and gently held Tian Miaowen's hand.
"You bastard, you're finally back!" Tian Miaowen bit her lip, her apricot eyes were full of anger, but she was only halfway through the words, tears appeared in her eyes, she opened her arms with tears in her smile, and hugged Ye Xiaotian tightly.
Although the two already have the name of husband and wife, when Ye Xiaotian entered Beijing, they were still a couple who "respected each other like guests".
But at this moment of near-death, Tian Miaowen finally found that there was no estrangement between the two at all. The relationship between the two of them may not be so conventional. But in this test of blood and fire, they are really just out of consideration for the interests of their respective families? Is it really just out of a sense of responsibility to pay for the other party without regrets?
When Tian Miaowen hugged Ye Xiaotian tightly, she suddenly understood: It was all a lie she used to deceive herself. Love came unconsciously, and she had already loved it deeply, deeply......

Tian Binfei had a dream in which he seemed to have fallen into a hell that burned with flames. Beneath your feet is the gushing flow of fiery red magma, and all around you are towering sinister peaks like wolf teeth. He tried hard to climb up, but his legs didn't seem to obey him, and even if he used all his strength, he couldn't drive his legs to take a step.
Finally, exhausted, he involuntarily slipped his hands off the clenched rocks and fell desperately towards the fiery abyss. He couldn't help but cry out in horror, his arms swinging in vain. But his body still fell, and a feeling of dizziness came to his face.
He looked desperately at the river of rolling magma, only to feel that he was falling closer and closer, as if he was about to fall into the fiery red magma and turn to ashes. However, the river of magma seemed to be constantly falling, and he kept falling, but he could not turn into the moth that pounced on the flames, and could only fall endlessly......
"Ahh
Tian Binfei let out a mournful shout. I woke up suddenly, my head covered in beads of sweat.
"Are you awake?"
A nice woman's voice sounded next to her. Tian Binfei gasped heavily, and following the prestige, he saw a tall and beautiful back, a small waist that was not thin and not a hand, and a plump and round buttocks under the clothes, as if drawn with a compass, forming a smooth and graceful curve.
A waterfall of jet-black hair fell over her shoulders, and in front of her was an eight-edged bronze mirror, which was polished very smooth and bright. The delicate is revealed, and the face in the mirror is true, showing an incomparably charming face.
Tian Binfei was shocked and said, "It's you?" How are you in ......"
As soon as Tian Binfei saw this person, he immediately lifted the quilt and wanted to jump to the ground, but he immediately let out a miserable scream. He was shocked to find that he had lost both legs, his knees were gone, the thick bandages were wrapped around his legs, and the outermost layer was still red with blood.
The man in the mirror said leisurely: "Do you know what happened to the three-way intersection?" ”
Tian Binfei's body was shocked, and he couldn't care about the painful reality of losing his legs, so he hurriedly asked, "Miaowen, is she okay?" ”
"You're such a good brother!"
The person in the mirror was attached to the mirror, and said lazily: "Tian Miaowen is fine, Ye Xiaotian arrived in time and saved her." As for the four families of Zhan Cao and Zhang Yang who coincided with their meeting, they were taken by Ye Xiaotian in a nest, and now they are all his prisoners......"
The person in the mirror told Tian Binfei what happened at the three-way intersection, and chuckled: "It's a pity that you have done everything in vain, but it's a pity that you have made wedding dresses for others......"
Tian Binfei couldn't help but tremble, he grabbed the woman's fragrant shoulder, and shouted: "Why are you here, you ......"
The woman twisted her waist and avoided Tian Binfei's grasp, Tian Binfei fell down from the couch at once, he sat up with the dressing table, and suddenly saw the appearance revealed in the bronze mirror, and then there was a scream, he was originally as rich as jade, handsome and unparalleled, but at the moment his face was scarred, his muscles turned out, and he was as hideous as a ghost.
Tian Binfei grabbed the bronze mirror in his hand, stared at the ghost face in the mirror with wide eyes, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
The woman sighed softly, "You fell from a cliff, but fortunately you were not crushed by the vines. But scratches along the way are inevitable, I saved you in time, and I can only barely save your life, and the rest is really helpless. ”
"Dangchang", the bronze mirror fell to the ground, the mirror was not broken, but Tian Binfei's heart was broken.
The woman approached, and Rou Yi gently put it on his shoulder: "I know, you have paid a lot to revive the Tian family, you have been defeated, but the Tian family has not been defeated!" Because -- and me! Binfei, follow me in the future! ”
