Chapter 41—The Living Borrow Arrows (I)
On the prairie at night.
A dull sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, and a large number of hoplites appeared in front of the camp of the Central Legion, the thickness of the armor made one wonder if the people inside were still moving, and behind the hoplites faintly appeared archers in earth-colored soft armor and pikemen in silver armor.
"Fifteen thousand?" The neat formation made Hua Long quickly look out and understand the number of this group of troops. But judging by the shaking of the earth, this is only part of the story.
Sure enough, soon the cavalry and light cavalry quickly circled the flanks of the Chinese army, forming a typical defensive concave formation.
It is worthy of being a well-trained elite in the army, just from such a quick response and heavy momentum is enough to see the strength of the Central Army, as the president, Qiu An is worthy of the title of famous general.
Seeing such an imposing formation, Hua Long, who was wearing the military uniform of the Heavenly Spirit Principality, suddenly looked a little worried, after all, he was only here to "borrow arrows" for training, but he didn't want to put his life here, thinking of this, Hua Long couldn't help but clench the waist drum mallet in his hand, and then cursed the crazy old man that old bastard fiercely in his heart.
Fortunately, a look of confusion also appeared on the faces of these soldiers of the Central Army Corps after a while, obviously they were also puzzled by the scarcity of their opponents, dealing with a person, using such a big battle?
Although the sergeants were slightly dissatisfied, they still responded with full attention.
At this time, President Qiu An, who was wearing a red dragon robe and a green armor on his shoulders, communicated with the officers around him from time to time, as if to confirm whether the other party was the enemy mentioned in the wolf smoke alarm, and Xingxue, who was also riding a white war horse, stayed by his eldest brother's side, but her outfit made the nearby soldiers a little distracted.
Seeing that the other party didn't release the arrows, Hua Long suddenly couldn't wait, and after thinking slightly, he simply beat the waist drum on his waist and sang loudly while beating: "You cowards...... Put an arrow to shoot your brother...... Brother, I love you so much...... Hey, hey!"
"Knock knock—— knock knock—— knock knock——"
Hua Long's actions immediately made those soldiers of the Central Army even more confused, they didn't understand whether Hua Long's actions at this time were calling for battle or going crazy, and in fact, in fact, do you think someone would come to the army in the middle of the night with a waist drum to beat and sing such a loud provocative song?
And Xing Xue, who had been staying by the eldest brother's side, was also constantly observing the strange guy in front of him at this time.
"My lord!" said the Zhongji officer on the side: "I'm afraid that there will be fraud, let's release the arrows!"
After thinking slightly, Qiu An also nodded, under the unclear situation of the enemy, he had no good way in such a dark night, so he could only attack tentatively, "All the combatants are on standby, and the archers are out!"
After a few breaths, an extremely capable looking archer came to the front of the entire queue, and while pulling the bow and string, he aimed at Hua Long and immediately shot an arrow, and although this arrow was very powerful, it was very accurate.
And Hua Long on the opposite side didn't want to take such a soft arrow without the slightest strength at all, so he turned slightly to the left, and the arrow passed under Hua Long's armpit.
Didn't hit!
"Cut!" Xing Xue frowned slightly, as if she felt a pity.
"Knock knock—— knock knock—— knock knock——" In the next second, Hua Long took a few steps forward again and then beat the waist drum again, as if urging the archer.
However, such a provocative act immediately annoyed the soldiers of the Central Legion, and I don't know when, the voice of cheering for the sharpshooter suddenly sounded, and it became louder and louder.
Even those front-line officers clenched their fists slightly at this time, after all, this is related to the honor of the army.
After receiving attention, the sharpshooter was also under pressure, he took a deep breath and took the bow again, this time he drew the bow into the shape of a full moon.
Almost at the same time, the formation fell silent for an instant, and the soldiers were watching nervously.
This time, the marksman did not have the slightest reservation, and used all his strength, and the arrow shot was like a long rainbow through the sun, and in the dark night with a slight sound of breaking the sky, it whistled away in an instant.
It's just that an arrow of such strength is naturally a great threat to ordinary people, but for Hua Long, it is still too weak at all, so Hua Long, who felt bored, just tilted his head this time, and the arrow flew over with his earlobe.
Still missed!
This time the soldiers immediately complained, and the sound of ridicule was overwhelming for a while, even an army like the Central Army was very dissatisfied with the fact that a person like the Marksman, who was in charge of a thousand archers and had the title of Marksman, could not hit the enemy twice.
"My lord, I'm ashamed!" the marksman looked frustrated, tilting his head.
At this moment, a staff member named Eric beside Qiu An stepped forward and said with a slightly solemn expression: "My lord, it's better to solve it as soon as possible! After all, the wolf smoke has been released, if we delay it for too long, I'm afraid the military situation will change!"
Qiu An also knew very well about Eric's proposal that if it dragged on for too long, he was afraid that he would leave an excuse for the prime minister and the marshal, so he immediately decided: "Just treat it as a night training, tell the archers to the phalanx, let them shoot at will, whoever shoots this guy first will be promoted to centurion!"
As soon as this order was given, the archers, who had been holding back their anger, immediately came to their senses, and before anyone could give the command to release the arrows, the anxious people began to shoot, and after the noisy bowstrings, nearly five thousand arrows were shot out at once.
Suddenly, the arrows rained down!
", this dead old man, this is my life!" Seeing the dense arrows flying towards him, Hua Long couldn't help cursing, and then immediately activated his protective qi.
After a rain of arrows, Hua Long was still standing there in good shape, but the grass in front of him and around him was full of feathered arrows.
"What the hell?" Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Qiu An's eyebrows suddenly tightened, he was also extremely surprised that Hua Long was not shot to death, and those archers were also surprised that they couldn't say a word.
And when they were stunned, Hua Long's footsteps did take another ten steps forward, and the waist drum hammer in his hand beat more cheerfully, "Hey, hey, Brother Bing, you're a good dish, hey, hey,
"Knock knock—— knock knock—— knock knock——"
