Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Battle of Qiangtang (4)
Before the arrow arrived, an extremely fierce murderous aura shot out.
The fourth and fifth arrows shot at Cao Yuandu's left and right chests were not at the same height, but one high and one low, and the tip of the arrow also trembled out countless arrow shadows in flight, no, it was not trembling, but because the flight trajectory of the tip of the arrow was constantly changing, and because the speed was too fast, these tracks pulled out the afterimage of the tip of the arrow in the air.
The two arrows were shot at the same time with two arrows, in no particular order, and the sixth arrow was fired at the head of his mount.
But the horse's head was in front of him, and when the first two arrows pierced his breast, the sixth arrow pierced the horse's head at the same time.
The speed and angle of these three arrows are very cleverly grasped, and Cao Yuandu cares about people, so he can't care about horses.
He raised four horses, and this good horse among the Sapi horses was dedicated to fighting in Tibet, and he had been following him for three years, but at this moment, Cao Yuandu could only abandon it.
The Tibetan marksman is a 10,000-strong commander, and he is also the chief general of the Tubo cavalry, although it is only in the middle of the fusion realm, but the archery skills are very good, his iron arrows are three-edged heavy arrows, armor-piercing ability and lethality are very strong, and with a barb, pulling out will bring out a large mass of flesh and blood, before he was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder, he didn't dare to pull it out, he could only let it be inserted, but there was a blood groove on the arrow, and the blood continued to flow out, if he was hit by another arrow in his right chest, his combat effectiveness would be affected. At this critical juncture, he can only choose to save people instead of horses.
But it is not easy for Cao Yuandu to block the two arrows in his chest.
Although the martial arts realm of this Tubo master is a big step worse than him, he should practice archery, the power of rotation on the arrow is very strong, even with his internal force in the middle of the extreme realm, blocking his arrow will still feel numb in his arm, not to mention that his arrow path trajectory is changeable, and he must concentrate on it to capture, and in the battlefield battle, he must always beware of such a master who hurts people with hidden arrows from a distance, it is very difficult, and there have been two personal soldiers of the fusion realm who died under the arrow in order to block the arrow for him.
At this time, the two arrows shot at his chest were because of the strange angle of the high and low arrow paths, and he couldn't knock two arrows at the same time with one shot, and the speed of the two arrows was the same, he knocked one arrow, and the other arrow would be hit. His left arm had been affected by the continuous bleeding from the arrow in his left shoulder, and he was not sure that his left hand could accurately grasp the arrow that was shot into his left chest.
The thoughts in his mind flashed instantly, his right hand rushed forward to hold the middle of the golden gun, and dozens of gun shadows burst out in an instant with the swing of the gun in his arm, because the movement speed of the gun was fast, and those afterimages were connected like a golden wall.
The two arrows "sonorously" hit Cao Yuandu's gun wall.
Right in this moment.
The arrow that was shot at the horse's head was struck by an arrow flying out of the diagonal thorn, and it flew sideways.
Xiao Yan shot two more arrows at the Tibetan general.
The Tibetan general also turned around and shot two arrows.
Both of them used three-edged heavy arrows, and the arrows collided in the air in the middle of the distance between the two, and the four arrows fell to the ground at the same time.
Cao Yuandu laughed: "Good archery!" The stirrup struck the horse and rushed out, pointed the tip of the spear at the Tibetan general, and shouted: "Kill the chief!" ”
He didn't look back, he didn't know who was shooting the arrow behind him, but looking at the accuracy, speed and strength of this arrow, he should be able to compete with the Tibetan general, and it just so happened that the two of them joined forces to destroy this Tibetan captain - there is such an arrow master in the enemy, and the threat to his own side is too great.
Behind him, dozens of horsemen also caught their horses and galloped after him.
Cao Yuandu shouted again: "Be careful of his whirling arrow!" ”
Before the words fell, the commander of the Tubo seemed to realize the threat and had already shot four arrows at Xiao Yan.
One arrow in front, three arrows behind.
And the first arrow is flying to the sky, the next three arrows are in the shape of a zigzag, rotating at high speed in the air, so the force is very great, the arrow is very fast, and the fierce murderous aura shoots out, but it gives people a feeling of wandering, because the trajectory of the arrow is uncertain.
These four arrows are not the same as the one that shot the horse, because these four arrows shoot a man.
With these four arrows, Xiao Yan knew that she was inferior to this Tibetan marksman in terms of archery.
Xiao Yan thinks that Zhu Yizhi's archery skills are the most brilliant she has seen, just because she has not cultivated internal strength, she is not as good as an archery master who practices martial arts, but in terms of archery alone, Zhu Yizhi should still be above this Tibetan archer.
After Xiao Yan learned a few points of archery from Zhu Yizhi, he practiced hard work in the army, and made rapid progress in archery, but compared with the archery masters who have been immersed in this way for more than ten years, it is still not as good as it.
She must gather her eyes to capture the trajectory of the opponent's arrow, so that her galloping speed is bound to be affected, which is secondary, and more importantly, it is more difficult to block the arrow with an arrow than it is for her to hit the arrow with a knife, because she is more profound in the knife than the archery, but she can't use the knife, to cooperate with Cao Yuandu to kill the enemy general, she must use the arrow to shoot from a distance.
Xiao Yan simply closed her eyes, she had already found that her divine sense was more powerful than her eyesight, and when she encountered this kind of master who might specialize in archery, she used her divine sense to capture the trajectory of the opponent's arrow path better than her eyesight.
She shot three arrows in succession.
No matter how erratic the path of the opponent's arrow was, it could be clearly seen in her consciousness, because the arrow was moving in a spiral, so its trajectory was in a circle.
Xiao Yan's first arrow hit the enemy arrow forty zhang away, rubbing the iron axle of the enemy arrow and hitting the arrow feather of the enemy arrow. Half of the feather of the arrow is broken, and the balance of the feather's flight is interrupted, and the arrow flies forward diagonally for a few feet before falling to the ground.
Xiao Yan's second arrow hit the shaft of another arrow, and the shaft of the hardwood arrow broke from it, and the enemy arrow was hit by gravity, and it flew diagonally for several zhang and then fell.
At this time, Xiao Yan's third arrow hit the opponent's arrow, and the two arrows fell to the ground at the same time.
The cavalry soldiers on the left and right behind her all shouted, "Good! ”
At this time, the first arrow shot by the Tibetan lord to the sky had already passed Xiao Yan from the air, and it turned a sharp turn and flew towards Xiao Yan's back.
This arrow is a "whirling arrow".
Cao Yuandu had suffered a big loss from this kind of arrow before, and his two personal soldiers flew over and died under the arrow in order to block this whirling arrow for him.
The path of this whirling arrow is still erratic, and silent, if Xiao Yan uses her eyesight, she can't see the rear, but she uses her divine sense, which can be seen in all directions.
Xiao Yan leaned back, and arrows flew past her. Her right hand was like electricity, and before the arrow swirled again, she grabbed the shaft of the arrow, and the high-speed friction rubbed her palm hot, and if it weren't for her strong body, the palm would have been rubbed with blood.
The Tubo lord couldn't imagine that his second whirling arrow would be broken, and he was surprised, but he was also extremely fast, and before Xiao Yan got up, he shot another arrow quickly.
The arrow shot into the front belly of her warhorse.
Xiao Yan didn't have time to shoot the arrow, she stepped on the horse and got up, simply ignored the Tubo war horse, jumped on the back of the red wind, at the moment of changing horses, she shot an arrow at the leg of the Tubo general, and when she landed on the horse, she shot a second arrow, shooting at the flagpole of the flag held by the main general's own soldiers.
The Tibetan lord will fire two arrows in succession to shoot down Xiao Yan's arrows.
But Xiao Yan took advantage of these two arrows to sit firmly on the horseback, the strings were buzzing, his hands were as fast as arrows, and the arrows were like beads, shooting at the main general of Tubo. Sometimes he shoots people, sometimes he shoots horses, sometimes he shoots flags. Even if the Tubo lord was wearing a finely crafted fir leaf armor, he didn't dare to take Xiao Yan's arrow, and when he heard the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, he knew that the arrow would pierce the armor.
The two men's arrows collided in the air.
And the Tubo lord is twisting and archery, no matter how clever the riding skills are, they will always be affected, so the distance between them and Cao Yuandu and other cavalry soldiers who caught up with the tail is narrowing.
The Tibetan lord was anxious, but he couldn't turn around and gallop under the threat of Xiao Yan's long-range shot.
And Xiao Yan's hand speed is extremely fast, even if her archery skills are not as good as the opponent's, but she can match the speed of archery, once she takes the lead, she will use the stormy archery to suppress the opponent can only intercept the arrow, and there is no time to shoot "fluttering arrows" and "whirling arrows".
The sound of arrows colliding in the air was non-stop. Xiao Yan had already shot a quiver, and the second quiver also shot fifteen arrows, and she shouted without looking back: "Xiao An!" An Yexi threw thirty heavy arrows in response, and landed steadily in the quiver on Xiao Yan's right shoulder.
At this time, Cao Yuandu led the vanguard of the cavalry army to catch up with the Tubo cavalry, and the golden spear bloomed like ten thousand pear blossoms, and every time it opened, a ball of blood burst out, and the Tubo cavalry around him fell off their horses one after another.
Cao Yuandu rushed into the enemy cavalry and was invincible. Behind him was a cavalry army in a cone-shaped formation, waving a horse lance in his hand, which was also extremely brave. The cavalry in the back shot arrows into the air, and the arrows fell on the Tibetan cavalry in front, and one out of ten arrows hit the enemy.
"Rear wing interception!" The Tubo lord shouted in his busy schedule, and with his distraction, he was almost shot by Xiao Yan with an arrow, and urgently lowered the side of his neck to avoid this dangerous arrow.
Xiao Yan secretly strangled herself that she didn't have the technique of whirling arrows, otherwise she would shoot into the back of his neck if she flew over and swirled.
Although he was sorry in his heart, the arrows in his hand did not stop, forcing the Tibetan lord to have no way to turn around and escape.
Under the order of the main general, the Tibetan cavalry divided its rear wing and 1,000 cavalry to turn back to meet the enemy.
Cao Yuandu led a cone formation of 800 cavalry behind him to insert into this thousand cavalry, and killed directly at the position of the main general of Tubo.
The Tibetan lord couldn't turn around and run away on horseback under Xiao Yan's arrow rain, so he simply led a hundred cavalry soldiers to kill Cao Yuandu.
Cao Yuandu, as the head of the cone, soon collided with the pro-army team of the Tubo general. And under Xiao Yan's arrow rain, the Tubo lord had no time to shoot arrows at Cao Yuandu, so he could only watch Cao Yuandu be invincible under the spear, pick down a cavalryman with one shot, and gradually approach him. He was terrified in his heart, ordered the cavalry around him to block the enemy, and used the cavalry behind him as a wall to block the arrows of the silver-faced Tang cavalry, he turned around and lay down on his horse, surrounded by dozens of personal soldiers, and fled forward.
Xiao Yan opened his eyes, put the arrow on the string, and aimed ahead. No matter how close the cavalry is, they can't be connected to the wall, because the horses have to be at a distance when they run. Her arrow flashed like a flash of light in the air, piercing through the gap between the Tibetan cavalry, accurately shooting at the left rear of the Tibetan general.
A Tibetan cavalryman shouted, the arrow was too fast, he couldn't see it, so he could only block the arrow with his body.
An iron arrow pierced into his left abdomen. But Xiao Yan's second arrow had already passed through the space vacated by his lung, grazed the horse's head of the cavalry, and shot at the butt of the Tibetan general's warhorse.
The tip of the arrow shot into the horse's stock and burst open.
The Tibetan general had already risen and jumped towards the horses of his own soldiers, but at this time Xiao Yan's second arrow had arrived.
The arrow was shot at his back.
The Tibetan lord hurriedly swung his bow to shoot down the arrow, but the strong rush on the arrow made him tilt, and the third arrow that Xiao Yan followed hit his right arm, bursting, and half of his arm was shattered into flesh. The Tibetan lord screamed, his voice was painful, but more of a despair and anger after losing his arm for archery.
The soldier hurriedly turned his horse and caught the main general who fell from mid-air.
Cao Yuandu laughed and shouted in Tubo: "Captain Wan was shot to death!" ”
He used internal force for this sound, and the sound shook within a mile.
The Tibetan cavalry, who did not know the truth, were in chaos.
Cao Yuandu led the cone formation to kill the big banner.
Xiao Yan's fourth arrow shot at the pro-soldier.
The soldier was hit by an arrow in the back and fell off his horse, revealing the Tibetan general who had lost half of his arm in front of him.
Cao Yuandu had already swung his gun and killed closer.
The Tubo lord drew his sword in his left hand, and under the escort of three soldiers from the fusion realm, he fought with Cao Yuandu.
And Xiao Yan's fatal arrow hit, taking the lives of these three soldiers one after another.
The main general of Tubo was originally proficient in archery, and he was inferior to Cao Yuandu in close combat, and the martial arts realm was a big step behind, and his internal strength was not as good as that, because he lost his arm in archery, his mentality was even more unstable, and he received two shots from Cao Yuandu, and died under his gun.
Cao Yuandu picked his body on the gun, held it high in the air, and shouted in Tubo: "Captain Wan is dead!" ”
As soon as the surrounding Tubo soldiers saw the corpse of the main general, their morale was greatly lost, and they were rushed away by the cone formation of the Xiao cavalry, and they had no intention of fighting again, so they scattered and fled to the east and west.
Cao Yuandu threw the body of the Tubo general to his own soldiers, ordered the flag soldiers to play the flag, and ordered the Xiao cavalry in the rear to divide the east and west wings to outflank them, compressing the Tubo cavalry from the two wings to the middle, and the heavy cavalry behind them in the middle chased and crushed.
Cao Yuandu ordered the Xiao cavalry to chase forward, he stopped his horse, turned around and beckoned to Xiao Yan, who was seventy paces away, and laughed: "Together? ”
Xiao Yan replied: "General Cao is tired of taking care of my partner. - An Yexi, Ma Yongzhong, you follow General Cao. ”
Xiao Yan shouted this sentence, then returned to the horse and galloped towards the battlefield of the four martial cavalry generals, and in the gallop, he had already shot an arrow at a Tibetan master in the air.
An Yexi, Ma Yongzhong and the other fifteen cavalry immediately understood that the captain was to support the four martial cavalry generals in the battle with the enemy's masters of the Ascending Extreme Realm, and they were useless in the occasion of this kind of master's battle, and they could make more meritorious contributions with General Cao, so they should all cheer and gallop to Cao Yuandu's side.
Cao Yuandu praised and shouted: "Okay! It is not only Zanxiao Yan's choice, but also a promise, turning around and instructing left and right, "Take care of them." With a wave of the golden gun, he led the cavalry army around him to kill again.
Those four martial cavalry generals were fighting with the enemy's masters of the Ascending Extreme Realm, some had the upper hand and some fell behind. Xiao Yan saw that the life of the one who fell into the wind was not in danger, so he stepped in to help the one who had the upper hand. With the help of her long-range shots, the enemy master quickly fell to one person. With the free hand of the martial cavalry general joining, the battle of the other three was decided.
Xiao Yan helped one person, then stopped staying, and returned to the horse to chase forward.
When she caught up with the Xiao cavalry at the front, the left and right flanks of the Xiao cavalry had already caught up with the Tubo army at the front, and they chased and shot crossbows and arrows, killing the cavalry fleeing on both sides, so that the fleeing Tubo cavalry gradually shrank to the middle and fled to the southeast.
Xiao Yan chased towards Cao Yuandu's general flag, picked two quivers from the dead Tubo cavalry, and shot arrows all the way, these arrows she did not wrap into the internal force of Hengshan Destruction, but each arrow must hit the back of the neck of the Tubo cavalry, and one arrow is fatal. The red wind was like a red lightning, carrying her on the battlefield. In the middle of her archery, she suddenly noticed the wind behind her right, and her head was to the left side, and a feathered arrow flew past her head, and her right hand was like lightning, and she caught the arrow between her two fingers.
Arrows came from the right rear.
Xiao Yan turned his head to look behind the right.
Behind him were hundreds of horsemen galloping on horseback, shooting arrows at the Tibetan cavalry in front of them while galloping.
Stray arrows?
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, and his blade-like gaze swept across those cavalry troops.
The arrow just now was extremely powerful, it was not shot by ordinary cavalry, it must have been extremely strong, or it had internal strength in practice.
Was this a stray arrow shot at her?
Xiao Yan snorted coldly in his heart, and glanced at the arrow in his hand, a three-edged heavy arrow with a barb and a blood groove! This is not something that ordinary soldiers can equip either.
She plunged the arrow into her saddlebag and galloped forward with her horse.
She chased forward for half an hour, catching up with An Yexi's fifteenth horseman, who was shooting arrows to kill the enemy.
She thought about it for a while, and felt that it was safer for them to follow the cavalry to kill the enemy, so she didn't greet and continued to gallop forward.
An Yexi suddenly turned his head and saw her, so he turned his horse and followed, "Captain." ”
Xiao Yan turned around and said, "Keep up." ”
An Yexi galloped after her.
Xiao Yan caught up with Cao Yuandu and said loudly: "General Cao, how about borrowing me two hundred horsemen?" ”
Cao Yuandu had already recognized her at this time, and said with a smile the armband of the army number on her arm, and said with a smile: "Captain of the first regiment of the eleventh battalion of the Jingnan Army, Xiao Seventeen?" ”
There is only the number and position of the army on the armband, and there is no name, but Cao Yuandu said Xiao Seventeen, which obviously knew her.
Xiao Yan was a little sure of borrowing soldiers, and nodded: "It's Xiao Yan." Can General Cao lend me men? She pointed forward with her right hand, "Hold off reinforcements to the southeast." ”
Cao Yuandu's eyes flashed, and he didn't ask her how she knew that there were Tubo reinforcements ahead, so he turned around and shouted loudly: "Cao Guangzong, your fourth regiment follows Captain Xiao of the 11th Battalion of the Jingnan Army and obeys his orders." ”
"Yes, General!"
With an order, more than two hundred cavalry cavalry lined up in a cone formation and galloped over.
A regiment of the Xiao cavalry is 300 people, and this fourth regiment should have lost dozens of horsemen and horses in the previous battle, and only more than 240 horsemen.
The leading lieutenant Cao Guangzong has thick eyebrows and leopard eyes, and his face is somewhat similar to Cao Yuandu, Xiao Yan thought to himself, could it be Cao Yuandu's nephew?
She was grateful for Cao Yuandu's trust, and solemnly gave a military salute and said, "I will live up to General Cao's trust." ”
Cao Yuandu waved his golden gun and said with a smile: "You go to play the striker, and we will arrive later." The voice was full of confidence that "we will do our best to clean up this group of Tibetan soldiers".
"Sons, take a good look!" He shouted to the cavalry of the Fourth Regiment.
Cao Guangzong and others agreed with a bang.
Xiao Yan waved his hand, took An Yexi in front, and led the fourth regiment to break away from the large team and gallop out from the side.
The author has something to say: Remarks:
The Tibetan army was composed of more than 100 people and had a centurion. A great 500 commands 5 centurions, and a 1000 commander commands 2 large 500. The one who commands 20 big five hundred is the commander of ten thousand people.
