Chapter 72: The Spring Breeze Blows Excessively
Today's human race, 257 years have passed since the founding of the Dragon Kingdom.
The territory of the Dragon Kingdom has crossed the Tianyun Mountains in the north and spread to the prairies in the north.
To the east, to the south, there was a great expansion.
To the west, it could not be expanded because of the great wilderness.
The Terran population has risen dramatically, reaching a total population of about 7 million people.
However, after 257 years of changes, the rule of the Dragon Kingdom has gradually arisen various problems.
The many marquis who were divided out of the feudal kingdom went their own way, recruited courtiers, cultivated soldiers and horses, and divided one side, which became a major hidden danger for the Dragon Kingdom.
The marquis also fought with each other, but in recent decades there have been more disputes against the weakening dragon kingdom itself, and some marquis have even dared to rebel.
Six years ago, the Northwest Rebellion began a long six-year war with the Dragon Kingdom.
The location that Xiao Ke handed over to Huang Si was at the forefront of this tug-of-war.
A city that has not been able to be attacked for a long time.
The ancient city of Can.
……
The spring breeze in April blows to the land, bringing bright colors to the land.
However, when it blew to the ancient city of Kan, it could only roll up the smell of blood.
Here in the ancient city of Kan, it is dark and gloomy.
At this time, it was the twentieth day of the siege of the army.
The city has reached the end of its power.
The walls of the ancient city of Kan were covered with black oil stains and slippery.
This is the trace left over from the previous continuous battle, the enemy army attacked the city with a long ladder, they poured it down with a hot oil pan, and the city wall became like this when they came and went.
Now, it's so slippery that it's hard to latch on to the hook lock.
In the early morning, the walkway along the city wall resounded with the sound of dull and neat footsteps, one after another, walking up the stone steps.
The captain, who was originally standing guard on the city wall, rubbed his swollen temples, and when the time for the shift change came, he could go back to sleep.
The captain greeted his soldiers and prepared for a shift change.
However, when he finished gathering the soldiers and his eyes fell on the exit, he was stunned to see a person who should have been cultivating well in the house, and also followed the soldiers who had changed shifts.
"Daya, why did you come out! Aren't we all asking you to recuperate in the house? ”
Ya Nai is the military attache official position of the Dragon Kingdom, Ya is generally an ordinary general, Doya is an upper-class military general, commanding multiple ordinary generals, and Daya is equivalent to a commander.
The man who was called Daya by the captain was dressed in leather armor, carrying a bow and arrows, and said with a wry smile: "Recuperate? Am I well recovering from this illness? It's better to come and see, it's a shame for the province to die in a hospital bed. ”
The captain shook his head again and again, but he couldn't stop Daya's action.
After all, he was the arrow god of the Dragon Kingdom, someone whom all of them admired.
The ancient city of Kan, in the case of isolation and helplessness, was forced to defend for ten days without being captured by the waiting army, which is really the credit of Lu Daya.
Lu Daya is the son of a nobleman of the Dragon Kingdom, named Lu Cuo.
But since he was a child, he was different from other noble children, he was good at dancing, wielding knives and guns, shooting arrows and hunting.
Lu Cuo is the concubine of the family, and his father does not expect him to inherit the family business, so he just plays around outside.
By the time Lu Cuo was fourteen years old, his martial arts were already good.
At this time, the Terrans, because metallurgical technology had not yet appeared, the production of weapons was roughly made of the following materials.
One is the brass and iron weapons forged from the occasional found primary metal, which are extremely rare.
Second, it is a weapon made of animal bones, because there are fierce beasts in this world, the bones of fierce beasts are extremely strong, and the weapons made are also sharp and practical, not losing to copper and iron. As for the general animal bone products, the effect is slightly less, but it is also very practical. It is currently the most popular among weapons.
The third is to use weapons made of wood or bamboo. For example, spears, spears, sticks, bows, and so on. Among them, the bow is more popular among the Terrans because of its far-reaching characteristics.
Lu Cuo's family background is good, and the family can afford to buy him weapons made of fierce beast bones, and there is even a bronze sword at home that is regarded as a family heirloom. It's just that Lu Cuo's father didn't let him touch the bronze sword.
However, in addition to learning the use of various weapons, Lu Cuo's favorite thing is bows and arrows.
What he admires the most is the first patriarch of the human race hundreds of years ago, that is a real hero, it is said that the ancestor god once gave the tree patriarch a divine bow, the divine bow requires three hundred catties of strength to pull away, but a hundred shots, and can be an arrow through the mountain, an arrow across the river.
It is said that the patriarch of the tree once used this bow to kill ten fierce beasts with one arrow, and under his leadership, humans carved out a living place from the encirclement of fierce beasts.
Of course, the Tree Patriarch has a great reputation among the human race, and there are many admirers, not to mention Lu Mistake.
In the minds of the human race, the status of the tree patriarch is almost equivalent to half a god.
Because after his death, the divine bow gradually lost its God-given potency after several tosses, and later generations could no longer play the role of this bow, and finally disappeared without a trace.
But all those who learn archery must worship the patriarch of the tree for his protection.
Fourteen-year-old Lu Cuo, one day he quarreled with his family to join the army.
Lu's mother was furious, and she was playing around, but the children of the nobles had expensive skin and flesh, and now that the times were not peaceful, how could she go to join the army and die?
The family didn't allow it, so he ran outside the barracks, probed his brain, and was taken down by the soldiers.
The officer who happened to be on duty was Ya Feng Ze, who was patrolling the camp, and saw that Lu Cuo's clothes did not look like ordinary people, so he asked the reason and his background.
Lu Cuo knelt on the ground and told his identity and reason, and then begged Feng Daya to give him a chance to show his martial arts, and if he was suitable to join the army, he asked Feng Daya to find their family and ask for him.
Feng just smiled and told him to try, but he didn't agree to his request.
Lu Cuo fought with an ordinary soldier with his hand-to-hand.
At the end of the game, he outnumbered an adult and trained soldier at the age of fourteen.
Lu Cuo thought that he could be included, but unexpectedly, Feng Ze's face was blank, saying that he was young, and it would be better to go back and practice for a few more years.
Lu Cuo was not convinced, and suddenly kowtowed: "Ask the general to lend me a bow and arrow, shoot once and I will leave." ”
In fact, Feng Ze had the idea of loving talent in his heart, and was afraid that he would die on the battlefield at a young age, so he sent him back to stay older and more mature before letting him enlist in the army.
Now that Lu Cuo asked for a bow and arrow, Feng Ze also felt a little pity in his heart, so he ordered someone to take a set of good bows and arrows for him.
Lu Co drew his bow and set up an arrow, pointing directly at the flag at the entrance of the barracks.
An arrow flew out, and the wooden pole of the black dragon flag with a brown background of the word "Feng" was folded into two sections in response.
The military camp was in an uproar, both amazed by Lu Cuo's brilliant archery skills and worried about this kid's audacity.
Shooting off Feng Daya's banner can be regarded as an offense!
Feng Ze was not angry, he asked people to take a look at the broken flagpole, and then nodded.
The next day, Feng Ze went to Lu's house and asked Lu's father for Lu Wrong.
Since then, Feng Ze has discovered that Lu Cuo does have extraordinary talents, and is determined to take him with him, first, to protect him, and secondly, to personally train him to become a generation of generals.
Since then, Lu Coo enlisted in the army and became Feng Ze's personal soldier.
