Chapter 39: The Alien Cavalry
Before Liu Jun could react to what was going on, Zhang San and the two messengers exclaimed: "The northern barbarian, my God, the barbarian has gone south to fight the grass valley." ”
After speaking, he turned around and ran into the woods on the side of the road, but before they could run to a sheltered place, the sound of breaking the air sounded, and two powerful arrows nailed them to the ground, and the attendant choked on the spot, Zhang San was shot in the abdomen, and he howled miserably.
Three horsemen galloped to the side, and one of them rode a horse and jumped into the side of the road, and with a wave of the saber, he directly killed Zhang San on the spot.
Liu Jun was stunned during the whole process, he had seen this kind of scene of riding a horse and slashing, chopping melons and vegetables, and in a blink of an eye, the two lives that were originally alive were gone? He suddenly understood a little bit of what it meant to be like a grass mustard, and under the edge of the horse, his head was not much harder than the grassroots.
The barbarian knight who hacked Zhang San to death turned over and dismounted, muttered some unintelligible words, thrust the saber in his hand into the ground, and walked towards Liu Jun with a lewd smile, knowing from the lust in his eyes what he wanted to do next.
The other two stopped on the road, laughing and shouting, 'My turn next,' or something.
Although Liu Jun was dazed, the movements in his hands were not stunned, and when the barbarian knight grabbed his shoulder and tore his clothes down, revealing his white shoulders, Liu Jun also pulled out a soft dagger from his waist and sent it forward neatly.
Years of surgical training have made Liu Jun very familiar with the weaknesses of the human body, and the soft dagger accurately pierced the heart of the barbarian knight, and the heart was punctured, and the severe pain produced would instantly make the whole body spasm and convuls, and the muscles of the whole body contracted inward, let alone fight back, and he couldn't even scream.
The barbarian knight stared at Liu Jun in disbelief, unable to say anything, only large strands of blood gushing out from the corners of his mouth.
The two barbarian knights on the road couldn't see the knife in Liu Jun's hand because of the angle, but they could see the body of their companion stiffen, realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted.
The companions did not respond, and in response to them were two blows in the air, and two crossbow arrows were fired, one of which hit the body of one of the knights, taking him off his horse, while the other missed.
The last surviving knight turned around and looked in the direction where the crossbow arrow came from, and saw Li Youwei and Li Shihu carrying the crossbow behind the grass.
The barbarian cavalry who often went south to fight the grass valley knew very well that the crossbow was a controlled weapon in the south, and those who possessed the crossbow must be the regular army, and they were the elite of the regular army.
Li Shihu, who had lost the arrow, was embarrassed and indignant, his face was flushed, and he struggled to wind the crossbow, but he was not proficient, and he couldn't buckle the string even a few times. The shooting loss is also because he is not skilled, Li Youwei has trained archery, and the crossbow has been quietly assembled and played with a few times, so he can hit it with one shot, but Li Shihu is the first time to touch this thing.
Just when he was anxious, Liu Jun's voice suddenly came from his ears: "Let me come." ”
Liu Jun took the crossbow machine, stepped on the front hook under his feet, pulled the bowstring with both hands, and exerted his psoas muscles while lifting it up, leaning back his whole body and pulling it with all his might.
There was a click, and the bowstring snapped on the trigger.
In terms of strength, he can't compare to Li Shihu, but the strength of the iron tire bow is too great, relying on brute force alone, except for Li Da's innate divine power, others can't pull it away, and it is necessary to talk about skills and exert all body strength.
After stringing, Liu Jun held up the crossbow machine, and found that it was too heavy to hold his hand unsteadily, so he simply lay down on his back, supported it with his knees, held it, took aim, and shot.
With a whoosh, the barbarian cavalry who ran out for hundreds of meters was shocked, and fell down on the horse, and the war horse still ran forward by inertia for a distance, feeling that there was no one on his back, and stopped in confusion.
Liu Jun stood on tiptoe and looked around, but he couldn't see anyone, so he calmly ordered: "Don't move the corpse, you go and bring the war horse back, quickly." ”
Liu Jun was a little stunned at first, it was because he saw two people dying in front of him, and the impact was too great, but after he instinctively pulled out the soft dagger and stabbed the enemy to death, the unique calmness of a surgeon returned to his body.
He didn't even pull out the soft dagger in the first place, because then the high pressure of his heart would cause blood to gush and splash his blood.
On the contrary, Li Youwei and Li Shihu were a little at a loss, they were shot to death, but they didn't have a clue what to do next, and now when they heard Liu Jun's order, they immediately moved as if they had found the backbone.
Gathering the three war horses, Liu Jun led the two of them quickly into the woods dozens of meters away, and after passing through the woods, he tied the war horses to a hidden col.
Only then did he rush to the village from the small road under the guidance of Li Shihu.
Hurried all the way, Liu Jun also inquired about the origin of those barbarian knights from Li Shihu's mouth.
Hundreds of kilometers away from here, north of the Wuding River, is a vast prairie, in which a large number of nomads live, the complexity of its ethnic composition is not something Li Shihu can understand, the only thing he knows is that every autumn, the barbarians will cross the Wuding River to carry out the so-called grass valley activities.
Grass is not grass, it is people, grain is not grain, it is property, and burning, killing and looting is the only theme.
However, the barbarians hit the grass valley, generally do not dare to go so deep, Li Shihu has a memory, only ten years ago I heard that there are barbarians to the county seat, at that time I was frightened for a long time, the villagers are all armed, food and property are also hidden, the old and weak women and children are ready to move to the mountains at any time.
But he was well prepared, but he couldn't even see the shadow of the barbarians, and he didn't expect it to appear so suddenly this time.
"Crossing the Wuding River? Isn't there a wall on the north side? Liu Jun suddenly thought of a key point and asked urgently.
"The wall? What wall? I haven't heard of it. Li Shihu was puzzled.
Liu Jun's heart trembled, Li Shihu hadn't even heard of the wall? If this is the northern border of ancient China, it is impossible for anyone not to have heard of the wall, and the Great Wall, which stretches for thousands of miles, is the border wall that resists the barbarians from going south.
Li Shihu hadn't even heard of the wall, so there were only two possibilities, either it was in the era before the Seven Kingdoms, the Great Wall had already begun to be built in the era of the Seven Kingdoms, and the Great Wall of Qin mainly connected the border walls of various countries that already existed at that time.
But this is impossible, because the development power of society obviously surpassed that of the Qin Dynasty, and during the Qin and Han dynasties, bronze was still used in many places.
If it weren't for the Seven Kingdoms and the absence of walls, the only possibility was that he wasn't crossing the Earth.
Now it's troublesome, and he can't use his knowledge of history to open a golden finger.
Just as they were running wildly in the path, a large puff of black smoke suddenly rose from the direction of Liu Zhuang, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder sounded far away, shaking the whole earth for this.
It is impossible for the barbarians to go south with only three horsemen, they must be the vanguard of the brigade.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the sound of horses' hooves seems to be directed at our village, hurry back and report the news." Liu Jun hurriedly urged everyone to speed up their pace, hoping to inform the villagers before the barbarians.
However, when they crossed the hillside behind the village, they condescendingly saw that a group of about 100 cavalry on the road in the distance was advancing rapidly, and at the entrance of the village, the strong men of the village actually gathered with weapons in hand.
"It's not good, they saw the smoke in Liu Zhuang and took the enemy as a bandit." Liu Jun shouted loudly.
