Chapter 35: Small Arrows
This time, the gambling is very important, neither Hao Yunzheng nor Prince Taba can afford to lose, and King Muyun is on Hao Yunzheng's side, so of course, he takes great care of Hao Yunzheng.
At Hao Yunzheng's request, the training place was set up extremely secretive, and there were also secret sentinels around it, and there were many masters guarding here, and it was almost impossible to sneak in to investigate the military intelligence in it. Even if you are a congenital master, it is difficult to do it.
Muyun prairie, as a whole, is almost flat. But in the same way, there is no such thing as immutability in the world, even in the seemingly flat Muyun Prairie.
After Hao Yunzheng and Yan Chongtian walked for about half an hour, they saw several green hills covered with grass in the distance. And in the middle of the hill is a large valley.
Instead of a patch of grass, there was a forest in the valley, and the sound of thunder and drums could be heard from it, and needless to say, this was the place of training.
Hao Yunzheng and Yan Chongtian had just come to these hills, and a group of soldiers immediately came out to block the way.
"Oh...... Isn't this the envoy of the Celestial Empire? I don't know that the envoy of the Celestial Empire is here, and I hope you don't be surprised." This group of more than a dozen soldiers stopped the way, and before they could speak, there was a sudden sound of surprise on the side, and then a young man dressed in grassland clothes and holding a scimitar in his hand walked up.
"Haha...... It turned out to be General Xiaofeng! The day after tomorrow is the time to gamble, and I must come to see how the training progresses, and I hope I will forgive me for disturbing the general!"
Seeing this person, Hao Yunzheng also snorted a haha, and then took two steps forward and smiled.
"Whatever the envoy said, General Ben had already seen that Prince Nataba was unhappy, and if he could teach him a good lesson, he would feel comfortable when he said it. It's too late to rejoice in this matter by paying so much attention to it. ”
When General Xiaofeng saw the situation, he couldn't help laughing.
General Xiaofeng, one of the original top ten generals of Mu Yunguo, ranked third among the top ten generals, and was a strong man in the early stage of congenital. In Muyun Country, it can be said that he has made great achievements, and he once killed the army commander of another country on the Muyun Prairie. Under his iron cavalry, almost no one dared to violate the places he guarded, and he could be said to be brave and good at fighting.
As for the top ten generals, since the last time Hao Yunzheng earned back face for Mu Yunguo, he humiliated Prince Taba fiercely. The original hatred for Hao Yunzheng disappeared suddenly, and what was replaced by friendship for Hao Yunzheng. Therefore, the current General Xiaofeng was extremely polite when he saw Haoyun Zheng.
When General Xiaofeng and Hao Yunzheng met, the two naturally had a conversation. Haoyun Zheng is preparing to make friends with Muyun Country. As for General Xiaofeng, although he has been guarding here, he has been ordered that even he cannot set foot in the valley. At this time, the valley has completely become a forbidden place, and what is happening inside, the people outside do not know at all. So as soon as I saw Hao Yunzheng coming up, I began to inquire about this matter. For a while, he asked Hao Yunzheng how many layers of certainty he had to win, and for a while, he asked Hao Yunzheng what the hell he was doing, why the valley was always beating drums and shaking the sky, and then he asked Hao Yunzheng what method he used to train these soldiers and why he was so confident.
Faced with a series of questions, Haoyun Zheng naturally passed vaguely at will. Although this General Xiaofeng can't be a spy of You Ran Kingdom, in terms of military affairs, no one will necessarily share it with others. You must know that this kind of military training is generally a state secret and cannot be leaked. And although the current Hao Yunzheng is not leading his own country's army, this is a matter of winning or losing, so he naturally has to be cautious.
"Oh...... Brother Xiaofeng, you see it's not too early. I'm going to go in and test it, you see......" After greeting for a while, Hao Yunzheng finally seized the opportunity and smiled at General Xiaofeng.
General Xiaofeng couldn't help frowning when he saw that Hao Yunzheng didn't want to stay, but after laughing, he hugged his fists and smiled: "What I said is that the overall situation is the most important." This time, my Muyun Kingdom still has to rely on Brother Hao. ”
After some greetings, with Hao Yunzheng's scheming, and General Xiaofeng also intended to befriend Hao Yunzheng, therefore, the two began to be brothers. It looks like a brother for decades.
As he spoke, General Xiaofeng waved his hand, and the ten soldiers behind him immediately made way of a passage. After Hao Yunzheng hugged his fists and thanked him, he took Yan Chongtian and walked towards the valley.
Looking at Haoyun Zheng's back as he gradually moved away, General Xiaofeng's eyes were slightly small, and then he shook his head slightly, smiled a little helplessly, and muttered softly: "Sure enough, it is a generation of heroes, it seems that the position of this Muyun King will be none other than you in the future." Fortunately, King Muyun has only one daughter and no heirs, otherwise, the future Muyun Kingdom will definitely fall into a civil strife!"
Between sighs, it can be seen that Haoyun Zheng, who got Princess Luoyan, has actually obtained the entire Muyun Country. As long as Haoyun Zheng and Princess Luoyan get married, Haoyun Zheng can be regarded as the prince of Muyun Kingdom. The future Muyun country can only fall into the hands of Haoyun Zheng. Because King Muyun only has one daughter, Princess Luoyan, but he has no heirs.
..................
Looking up at the sky in the valley, the entire valley seems to be directly covered by white clouds. In the valley are towering trees, green and verdant.
No wind blew, but the valley shook slightly. There was a loud bang, and the trees all rose silently and automatically in the midst of the loud noise.
"Knock...... Knock knock...... Knock knock knock...... Knock knock ......"
"Hah...... Yikes...... Kill...... Ah......h
"Whew...... Call...... Shout...... Shout...... Peng ......"
The drums shook the sky, and the shouts of killing continued. Practicing boxing, the sound of the strong wind when practicing martial arts, the sound of arrows cutting through the air, and the sound of fists falling heavily all came into Haoyun Zheng's ears without leakage.
Hao Yunzheng stood in the valley, on the edge of the small woods, closed his eyes and listened to the voices coming from inside, and the scene of training came to his mind.
For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the time when his eyes were unknown, and by virtue of his feelings, he actually found out everything.
His ears moved slightly, and Hao Yunzheng's mind withdrew from this feeling, and his eyes slowly opened. looked at Yan Chongtian on the side, and said with a smile: "You shouldn't have seen this army trained by Du Qingfeng during this time, right?"
"Yes, young master......" Yan Chongtian also looked at the woods with some curiosity, although he couldn't see the situation inside, but the look in his eyes that was eager to go in and explore was something that anyone could see. Seeing Hao Yunzheng asking, Yan Chongtian turned around and hurriedly replied.
"Looking at your appearance, it seems that you are curious about what kind of training method I gave Du Qingfeng. Well, let's not hesitate anymore, let's go in first. Seeing Yan Chongtian's appearance, Haoyun Zheng couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, and as soon as he spoke, he took the lead and walked into the woods.
"Young master, be careful......" Suddenly, Yan Chongtian's voice came from behind him. Then a sound of breaking wind passed, and Yan Chongtian rushed directly in front of Hao Yunzheng.
In fact, there was no need for Yan Chongtian to remind him, almost at the moment when he stepped into the woods at the first step, Hao Yunzheng's heart suddenly became shocked. Then, with his keen hearing, he heard the sound of dozens of arrows cutting through the void.
Almost at the moment when Yan Chongtian's voice sounded and his figure rushed in front of him, Haoyun Zheng's feet moved, and he suddenly performed the light body technique of the first layer of Long Xuanbu, and the dragon traveled the world. The figure instantly turned into a dragon shadow, like wind and lightning, and withdrew a few feet away in the blink of an eye.
It was only then that dozens of arrows were seen shooting in the distance. Looking at the power and speed of the arrows, it is not comparable to ordinary feather arrows at all. However, between the lightning and flint, the arrow came to Yan Chongtian's body. Then I saw Yan Chongtian's body move, the sword light cut through the void, and between the flickers, the air seemed to be broken by a mirror, as if it had been cut and shattered.
There were a few clanging sounds, and those arrows were all made of gold and iron. Under Yan Chongtian's sword, one by one fell, but none of them were interrupted.
Although Yan Chongtian didn't really use his spiritual power to form a gang qi just now, he couldn't help but be surprised that he didn't cut off these arrows with his long sword. You know, his long sword can be regarded as sharpening iron like clay, and he even cuts these arrows continuously. As you can imagine, the writing material of these arrows must be unusual.
"Well, good, it's very good" Hao Yunzheng's praise suddenly came from behind him, which made Yan Chongtian come back to his senses, withdraw his long sword, and also looked down at the dozens of arrows on the ground.
These arrows fell to the ground, shining with a dark light, looking at the material, it turned out to be made of fine iron, which made Yan Chongtian stunned for a while.
Hao Yunzheng was also looking at these arrows, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly, which turned out to be a great appreciation.
"Who is ......" At the same time, the beating of drums in the woods stopped, the sound of the army fighting, and training also stopped completely. A cold shout rang out, and there was no emotion in it.
Hao Yunzheng and Yan Chongtian looked up at the same time, and immediately saw twenty or thirty strong men in black tights and cloaks walking out of the woods. The men were dressed in the same attire, and each carried a crossbow in his hand, and at his waist carried a small arrow used by a crossbow.
These small arrows are different from feather arrows, they are all the kind of small arrows that were shot at Hao Yunzheng just now. Although it looks about the same as a feather arrow, it is more than several times smaller.
The crossbow arrow, which is a long-range shooting tool that is more powerful than the bow and arrow. It is more useful on the battlefield than a bow and arrow.
The inventor of the crossbow arrow was a strategist under Emperor Tian Yuan when he first conquered the world. At that time, the strategist designed three giant arrows and crossbows, thirty medium-sized arrows, and three thousand small arrows for the Tianyuan Emperor. With the help of these arrows and crossbows, Emperor Tianyuan's army was almost like a torrent, out of control. No army could come forward to stop it. At this time, all the three thousand and thirty-three arrows and crossbows were placed in the Tian'an City of the Heavenly Empire. Almost no one can take it out.
Among them, the small arrow crossbow is similar to the arrow crossbow held by the dozens of people in front of him, but there are some subtle changes.
Hao Yunzheng has been missing for five years, and these five years are a blank period for Hao Yunzheng. What happened in it, Hao Yunzheng was almost completely unclear.
But after Hao Yunzheng survived the Blood Spirit Tribulation, in that seven-day nightmare, he seemed to have discovered something, although he was not sure, but in the dream, he got a lot of precious memories.
Included in the military book that he had read in his dream for three years. I learned a variety of military training formations and a variety of army assembly. Although these things were dreams, when he woke up, he remembered the contents clearly. Among them, there is a method of making arrows and crossbows, and the types of arrows and crossbows made far exceed the three types of arrows and crossbows in the current Celestial Empire. A lot of them are adapted. The arrows and crossbows held by dozens of people in front of him were actually adapted by Haoyun Zheng according to what he saw in his dreams. Its power, not to mention those in the West who have not fully understood the power of the arrow crossbow, even Hao Yunzheng himself is not very clear, but he knows that it is very powerful. In this kind of arrow crossbow, if the strong people below the congenital stage are surrounded by thousands of armies, under the rain of arrows, there will be death and no life.
"Bold, this is the third young master......"
As the cold shout sounded, Hao Yunzheng and Yan Chongtian looked up, and just as they were about to speak, Du Qingfeng's shout suddenly came from the depths of the woods. Then he saw a flash of blue light in the woods, Du Qingfeng's figure moved, and he rushed directly to Hao Yun Zheng, bowed to Hao Yun Zheng and said, "I've seen the young master." ”
As Du Qingfeng came out, there was a sound of grass and trees sliding, and fifty or sixty people rushed out behind, all wearing tights and cloaks, dressed in black. It turned out to be all the hundred soldiers that Hao Yunzheng handed over to Du Qingfeng.
