Chapter 320: Admiration

"Shang Juntou, what are your orders, my brother will never blink his brows. Liang De waved the kitchen knife in his hand. He and Zhang Tai were originally porters of the caravan, but they had great ambitions and were determined to join the prestigious Anxi Army as a sergeant, because Sun Gouzi's shop was close to the business road, and the food and housing were managed, and the wages were okay, so the two stayed, and the merchants settled in the shade, and pestered Shang Zhongxin to introduce them during the day, and Shang Zhongxin occasionally pointed out some archery and horse kung fu, but never agreed to introduce the two of them into the army.

Shang Zhongxin smiled when he heard this: "It's not so troublesome, the horse thieves are coming, I'll go to lure away the thieves later, and the two of you take this team of military masters to the Mu Zi camp for help." He pointed to the sergeant of the Chengying Battalion, who had been called out by An Sidao, and asked them to follow Liang De to the backyard to prepare for the horses. Shang Zhongxin himself also followed into the backyard stable, took out a pair of two-gear armor from the package behind his saddle and draped it on his body, which is also the armor that the hussars must carry when they are not stationed in the tun, led the horse out of the inn, looked back and saw that Liang De and the others had already ridden in the courtyard, nodded, and shouted: "Your eyes are bright, don't delay when you should rush out." Then he turned on his horse, drew his horizontal knife and slashed twice, and put it back into its sheath, holding a bow in his left hand and three arrows in his right, and his legs lightly clamped the belly of the horse, and galloped away towards the horse thief, who was galloping around the inn in the distance, and was constantly shouting threateningly.

An Sidao and Bagen glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes, and the hussars were fierce and domineering even to the ears of the Bianliang officials, and when they saw it today, it was really good, An Sidao originally had the intention to send twenty horsemen to help him lure away the horse thief, but who knew that this Shang Zhongxin actually didn't look at it here, so he went straight to battle.

Seeing Shang Zhongxin riding his horse out, the shopkeeper Sun greeted more than a dozen guys in the store with a sad face to take out the bows and arrows in the store in case of accidents, in addition to bows and arrows, some guys held spears, and some held horizontal knives, seeing Cai Yu secretly frightened, and muttered: "A small inn actually hides many blades, is this actually a black shop?"

Both Ansedao and Bargan had been in battle for a long time, and after watching the terrain, they sent a group of sergeants to guard the windows on the second floor, while the other team of sergeants and men in the shop prepared to rely on the fence on the outskirts of the inn to stop the horse thieves from rushing in. "Thankfully, there are a lot of Sectarian Legion adults here today, otherwise the small shop would have been terrible. Seeing that the sergeants of the shopkeeper Sun were assisting in the guard, he hurriedly thanked An Si, but his face was still sad, as if he was about to cry. An Sidao waved his hand to stop him from speaking, and watched Shang Zhongxin gallop towards the horse thief, the task of the Chengying Battalion is to escort Cai Yu'an back to Dunhuang, if the horse thief is strong, then he must abandon this inn to break through, these words of thanks, don't listen.

When the horse thieves saw Shang Zhongxin rushing alone to kill, they reined in their horses and gathered together, and when he rushed up, they would rush with their blades, and some of them bent their bows and arrows on their horses, aiming at him from a distance, and as soon as he approached, they would shoot this person into a hedgehog. Unexpectedly, Shang Zhongxin fired an arrow from beyond the range of the thief's arrow, and the arrow was so fast and rapid that it struck the forehead of a thief, and he saw the thief dismount with a loud cry.

Shang Zhongxin laughed, turned his horse, circled half a circle, and relied on the long range of his arrows, and fired two more arrows at the horse thieves who had gathered in a group, one in the shoulder and the other in the chest.

Unlike the steppe tribes, who preferred to use soft cavalry bows, the hussars required the sergeants to draw their bows as hard as possible on their horses, and when they rushed into battle to drive out the light cavalry, the enemy fired arrows first, and the cavalry followed their arrows into the chaotic enemy group. Shang Zhongxin's riding bow and arrow distance was particularly long, and the horse thief was caught off guard by his killing, and he couldn't help but be ruthless, and he no longer used arrows, and more than 100 horsemen rushed over wielding spears and sabers.

Shang Zhongxin was not in a hurry to run back to the inn, but galloped back and forth outside the inn, relying on the speed and endurance of the war horse to be better than that ridden by the horse thief, far away from the horse thief's arrow range, turning around in circles from time to time, turning around and shooting a few arrows, provoking more and more horse thieves to gallop from all directions to intercept him.

Taking advantage of the moment when the horse thieves entangled the crowd to intercept and kill Shang Zhongxin, suddenly, more than ten horsemen came out of the inn and went west. Shang Zhongxin saw that the plan was sold, so he no longer played those horse thieves, only ran back to the inn, he did not pass through the gate, he urged the horse over the low fence, almost swept over An Sidao's head, the war horse fell steadily to the ground, he turned over the saddle and dismounted, took the waist knife and bow and arrow in his hand, walked to An Sidao, and said in a deep voice: "Who is the Jiaorong army, today can be regarded as seeing my hussars kill the horse thief, how about it?"

A hundred paces away, the horse thief was shouting at the throat to rush into the inn to commit murder, and the hussar commander did not forget Liang Zi, who was offended. An Sidao couldn't think about it, so he had to say casually: "Admire!" didn't engage in a verbal dispute with him, only bent his bow and arrows, and steadily pointed in the direction where the horse thief was galloping.

Seeing that the horse thief was getting closer and closer, suddenly, a string sounded, and the nearest horse thief covered his throat and fell, An Sidao ordered at the same time: "Release the arrow!" Shoot your own arrow, the sergeant of the Chengying Battalion has his own unique skills, and this time escorted Cai Yu to Hexi, the selected guards are all excellent marksmanship, only to hear the sound of strings, arrows bite meat, many horse thieves are shot in the throat, eyes, heart and other vital places. This round of arrows was so powerful that the horse thief in front of him was forced to restrain the horse, and the inn was filled with smoke and dust a hundred paces away, and the smoke and dust were all towards the chaotic horse thief, desperately beating the horse and fleeing backwards.

The innkeepers were dumbfounded, barely believing their eyes. "The archery skills are good," even Shang Zhongxin, the ten-captain of the hussar army, who regarded himself very highly, praised, and felt that his show off just now was a little embarrassing, and turned his head to taunt the shopkeeper Sun: "There are so many archers here, Sun Gouzi, you can't cheat those guys' wages anymore." Shopkeeper Sun smiled and said, "Where, where, the adult has won the prize." Rubbing his calloused hands, the arrow that was straight ~~ into the throat of the horse thief was shot by him.

In the big competition of Lanzhou, Wu Yingying made the people shoot silver ingots for fun, and the shopkeeper Sun didn't know if it was good luck, and actually shot down a small silver cake, which was the biggest wealth he had obtained since he knew the silver money. As the saying goes, the money is obsessed, this grandson dog saw the hope of getting rich first from an accidental fortune, and since then he has been out of control, gritted his teeth and bought a pair of bows and arrows, pulled the bow and practiced arrows every day, and took out the strength when he was divided into land in Lanzhou, and all day long pondering how to improve archery, and every three or five times he would dream that he shot down the heaviest and farthest silver cake. The sky lives up to his wishes, and it is also in line with his talent for archery, and it really gives him the ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps.

After moving to Lingzhou, the hussars in order to cultivate the style of martial arts, often hang silver ingots for the households to shoot down, and the archery of the great advance of the Sun Gouzi actually hit several times, but also for himself to open this large-scale inn to earn enough money for the first pot of gold, and later the sergeant was afraid of hitting the enthusiasm of other households to participate, so he simply entered the barracks, but the Sun shopkeeper said that he was timid, only willing to eat a meal, and the hussars were not good at each other. After he became famous, many young men came to learn art, and they all called the profit-hungry shopkeeper to stay in the store as a partner, and the salary was not high.

The horse thief rushed straight to the inn, and the Chengying battalion shot more than 20 people, all of whom were fierce and vicious people who rushed ahead, and the leader saw that there were powerful people guarding the inn, so he was afraid, and he was about to retreat from a distance. Shang Zhongxin looked at the back of the horse thief with some regret, and sighed: "Although this horse thief is not very powerful, his whereabouts are erratic, and he selects those weakly protected caravans and inns to attack, and does all kinds of evil, so it is a pity to let him go like this today." While leading the horse, he looked back at An Sidao and the others.
