Chapter Thirty-Eight: Three Cold Arrows

The general looked in the direction of the magistrate's finger and saw more than a dozen northland horses roughly lined up in an arrow formation, rumbling towards the direction of the White Horse Military Town. Judging by the conspicuous black hoof prints on the snow, the horse formation had rushed out of a small forest about a mile from the barbarian camp. Whenever the army is encamped, the trees and thatch of hundreds of feet outside the camp wall should be cut down, so as to facilitate the detection of approaching enemies. At the same time, a number of braziers were set up in the open space outside the camp, which were lit at night to detect approaching enemies. It was just that the small forest was a stone's throw away from the camp, and it was abandoned by the barbarians, who were accustomed to rough branches.

Although the horse formation has an indomitable momentum, the horse speed is actually not fast, after all, it is not easy to control more than a dozen Northland horses at the same time, even for the barbarians.

The brute riders had already lost more than a dozen horses when they entered the small forest to hunt down the daring camper, and this can be guessed from the ownerless horses outside the forest. And now there were more than ten brute horsemen on each side of the horse formation.

Interestingly, the camper is alone, and the art of controlling the horse may be a little less meaningful, but the "riding skill" is quite amazingly superb, often come to the stirrup or two to hide in the brute to avoid the attack of the brute horseman's bow and arrow, throwing spear, lasso and the like, and then take the throwing spear from the saddle sheath of the horse formation in his own horse formation to shoot back, each shot must hit one person, and the barbarian after falling off the horse has basically become a corpse! The camper sometimes even jumps directly from one northland horse to the saddle of another northland horse, takes out another throwing spear and shoots back again!

However, the brutes were also extremely brave, and one after another rose from their saddles and flew into the formation, but when they were in the saddle, they could strike at the campers at close range.

The campers stepped on the saddle in the horse formation that galloped all the way, as if walking on a plum blossom pile, although the movement was not fast, and the stride was not large, but it was quite "steady", and smashed the barbarians who jumped on the horse formation one after another to the snow. It is already rare for those barbarians to be able to stand up on the saddle of the galloping horse, and sometimes they will throw themselves into the snow when they wield their swords and spears, and the horses and barbarians gallop over them, but it also saves the campers from doing it.

At this time, the horse formation had already passed the barbarian barracks, and almost reached the open space in the middle between the barracks and the White Horse Military Town.

The two remaining barbarians simply sat back in their saddles, no longer humiliating themselves, and drew their sabers to cut off the reins and leave the formation.

However, before one of the barbarians could sit in the saddle, a feathered arrow pierced under his armpit with his sword raised, and the target was the camper's vest!

Outside the gate of the barbarian barracks stood a horse, and in the hand of the knight was a large bow almost a man high. The knight's right hand maintained the movement of the loose string and released the arrow, and the blazing light in the palm of his hand was gradually dissipating.

The two barbarians gave up the attack on the "plum blossom pile" and sat back in the saddle, only temporarily. However, this arrow arrived in an instant from at least a mile away, and with the cover of the barbarian's movements and the sound of galloping horses, it was about to complete a perfect cold arrow!

.......

Wu Xing knew his half-baked scout skills, and it was still okay to bully the militia Baoding, if he really wanted to go to the battlefield, it would be no different from sending him to death.

Therefore, after bidding farewell to Bagen, Wu Xing became more cautious when he got closer to the war zone, relying on the mobility of the four northland horses, trying to just test the periphery, attracting patrol signs, secret sentinels, and scouts to chase after him, then turned around and ran, found a suitable terrain nearby to kill the two or three lone brute horses, and easily robbed their war horses and all kinds of necessary supplies.

So, through this piecemeal method, Wu Xing quickly gathered more than ten northern war horses in his hands. And in this process of repeated temptation, with his understanding of the terrain around White Horse Town, Wu Xing successively chewed eight northland horses through ant moving, and hid them in the small forest outside the military camp and a stone's throw away.

Scouts have no fixed location in the first place, and it is normal to spy on newly discovered military information and spread it out for an hour or two before it returns.

Up to that point, the barbarians seemed to have assumed that the daring enemy scouts consisted of no more than three or four Northland horses, and had not been suspicious at all, and had not associated the scouts who had left the zone with the enemy scouts.

When it was getting westward, that military camp sent dozens of horsemen to round him up, Wu Xing knew that those scouts who still had no return should have aroused the suspicion and attention of the other generals, and the next time he greeted him might be a rain of arrows.

The drums and trumpets in the barbarian barracks were as usual, and they were naturally completely unaffected by a mere enemy scout, and the back camp had even risen from the cooking smoke, and it seemed that they were already cooking in the pot.

"It can't be delayed any longer!" The reinforcements of the West Wind Country will arrive at any time, and that convoy should set off tonight at the latest, and even the young men and women from the villages and towns of Longxi County will be escorted to the north as slaves....... "It is very likely that these barbarian military camps are all singing empty city plans, leaving only a small number of barbarian horsemen to patrol the camp every day as a cover. It only takes one counterattack attempt by the defenders to see the difference!"

After Wu Xing made up his mind, he directly introduced the dozens of barbarian horses into the small forest. How could those barbarians who were just dressed in leather armor be Wu Xing's opponents, especially when they self-righteously dispersed and tried to surround Wu Xing in the small forest, they were even more in Wu Xing's hands.

After the barbarians had lost nearly half of their horsemen, Wu Xing had already controlled the horse formation to break out of the forest. Well, of course, there are three northland horses in the horse formation that have become outliers because of Wu Xing's improper control, which is a flaw that can be ignored.

.......

At this time, I saw Wu Xing as a prophet, bent sideways, pressed his right hand on the saddle, and the whole person landed on the saddle of a northland horse next to him with a side flip.

The sound of feather arrows breaking through the air sounded one after another.

Four arrows, including arrows and arrow feathers, are obliquely inserted in the snow 100 feet away on the side of the horse formation, black and white, very conspicuous.

The so-called "three arrows" are the first arrow to be the guide, and the last three arrows are gone in succession! The three arrows are not simply lined up in a straight line, but under the guise of the first arrow, and the last three arrows are hidden behind them; it is through a unique technique that different forces are applied when the arrows are off the string, so that the shaft of the arrow rotates and trembles, thus driving the tail feathers to make subtle turns and changes. As the target of the third company, you will only see a feather arrow shooting at you, and at the moment when you are ready to block or dodge, as if in bloom, three feather arrows appear behind!

In addition to firing the bow four times in an instant, Sanlian must also make accurate predictions about the movement and response of the target. However, in actual application, being able to hit one arrow is already considered to be a successful realm, and being able to hit two arrows is considered to be a realm of ascending to the court.

Wuqu Xingjun's three-link archery technique is not the same as that of ordinary archers, and even if the former's three-link is only of the wind-chasing grade, it can already break the star armor! A single "three-company" can only be called a wind-chasing arrow, which is the kind of arrow that Wu Xing was hit in his left arm when he was stabbed in the White Horse Stele Forest.

After Wu Xing dodged the third company, the barbarian rider outside the gate of the barbarian military camp was not annoyed, and casually took the longbow back into the bow bag, and returned to the camp on horseback. And the barbarian cavalry who had persevered all the way had to give up the pursuit at this time, because it was within the range of the bed crossbow on the wall of the White Horse Military Town. The two barbarians who were "sitting" on the horse array finally swung their knives and cut off the reins of the mounts under their crotch that were bound to the saddle of the horse array, and chased the surviving barbarians with their mane pockets, and returned to the camp together. Dozens of horsemen left the camp, and less than ten horsemen returned to the camp, and even the figure of the brute horseman who was infinitely elongated in the afterglow of the sunset seemed to have a trace of desolation and tragedy.

Wu Xing cut off the reins of several Northland horses in the horse formation that had been hit by several spears and arrows, and now he could only leave them to fend for himself.

In this way, Wu Xing rode his horse to the city gate, took out a tiger head bronze medal from his arms and threw it on the city wall, and said loudly: "Wu Xing, the west archway of the school field in Baima Town, requests to enter the city!

On the city wall, the general was listening to the magistrate's brief introduction to the "life and past" of Wu Xing in the "West Archway of the School Field" with great interest, and the general commanded several soldiers to put down the long rope and drag Wu Xing up the city wall. As for the Northland horses, Wu Xing could only unload the saddle and let them be self-reliant.

"You saw with your own eyes that there were already hundreds of yak oxen and horned deer lassing their bridles, as well as ox knots and sluggers?" asked the general. The ox knot head and the set are used for cattle and horses respectively to pull the cart, and they are naturally suitable for Yake cattle and horned deer.

He asked the previous questions in great detail, such as the style and size of the wheels and wheels, the packaging of the tea cakes on the cart, the material of the rope that tied the tea cakes, the style of knots, the color and shape of the crockpot with lacquer, and so on. Sometimes there is even a sudden repetition of a part of the same question before to confirm the authenticity and accuracy of the information.

"The subordinate has finished asking. The general bowed to the general and reported.

"Since we have to put on the chew and the bridle, as well as the ox knots and the sleeve for pulling the cart, it is time to return. The general turned his blue-faced fanged face armor, looked at Wu Xing, and asked, "You are not 'not 'closed at night' in the army, how did you know that the barbarians are singing the empty city plan?"

The general was slightly taller than Wu Xing, and his voice came out of the visor with a bit of an urn sound.

Wu Xing didn't answer directly, he first glanced at Zhixian, and the latter simply nodded: "The previous general was in charge of the defense of the city." This general is to appease Longxi County with a festival, and he can treat it as if my king is in person. ”

Wu Xing is also a student of the Star Hall in addition to the name of this bravery, so he said directly: "The barbarians will be Koubian every few years, and the woods around White Horse Town have long been cut down and there is not much left, but the barbarians did not send people to collect a large amount of firewood in the surrounding areas. Almost every barbarian has a small skin bag with stone grease around his waist, which is probably used to protect against the cold or to make wolf smoke. But the stone fat sacs I 'found' were almost unused, and it seemed that they were going to be returned to their quartermaster for other items. This is one of the doubts. ”

The so-called "discovery" in Wu Xing's mouth naturally refers to those barbarian scouts and soldiers that he took action to solve.

Wu Xing said again: "It is impossible for the army of thousands of people to be solved and buried in the battalion. However, I didn't find any signs of barbarian disposal and burial of large amounts of defecation around the camp. This is the second suspicion. ”
