Volume III Chapter 703
Zhang Bufan squinted at Ling Wuya, and said with a strange smile: "Ling Wuya, it's your turn." ”
Ling Wuya shook his head secretly, then shook his head slightly to the attendant, and said, "Take the bow!"
The attendant answered, and hurriedly replaced him with an ordinary steel bow and steel arrows.
Zhang Bufan pretended to be indifferent on the surface, but in fact, he could look carefully, he pursed his lips, looked up at the sky from the side, and muttered lightly: "When the time comes, don't deny it if you lose." ”
Ling Wuya just smiled and didn't argue with him. He took the steel bow and steel arrow in his hand, first weighed the weight, then pulled the bowstring, and got used to it a little, and then said to the guard guarding the rabbit cage: "Two!"
"Huh, people shoot two, you shoot two, this is not like your style!" Regardless of whether Ling Wuya listened or not, Zhang Bufan was still muttering to himself.
Everyone thought that he was a tendon, straight, and scheming, but in fact, he was also very good, first blocking Ling Wuya with words, so that he couldn't use the bow and arrow in his hand, and then using words to provoke Ling Wuya, intending to disturb his mind.
It's just that Ling Wuya's state of mind is as calm as water, and he is not affected by Zhang Bufan at all.
"Click, click!"
With two soft sounds, the doors of the two rabbit cages opened, and the two rabbits rushed out, like the three rabbits in front, running in the direction of the woods.
"One, two, three......" The guards continued as usual, counting rhythmically.
There was silence at the scene, and people stared at Ling Wuya with big eyes and small eyes, all looking at Ling Wuya intently.
Everyone wanted to know what kind of method Ling Wuya was going to use to shoot two rabbits with one arrow, if it was the same as Zhang Bufan, then he would undoubtedly lose.
The two rabbits that Ling Wuya caught up with were both strong and fast, and they rushed into the forest one after the other in the blink of an eye.
But the most incredible thing is that. Ling Wuya never glanced at the two rabbits, and the bow in his hand was not opened, he just stood with his head down, and even his eyes seemed to be closed, but the generals present could see that Ling Wuya was listening. And his pressure has been dissipated.
Zhang Bufan deliberately pretended to be confused and muttered in a low voice: "If you know that you are invincible, quickly admit defeat, this is not a place to sleep." ”
"Fourteen, fifteen ......" When the guards counted to fifteen again, Ling Wuya raised his hand violently, and then, pulling the bowstring of the steel bow, without any preparation for aiming, directly shot the steel arrow on the bow.
His steel arrows weren't fired into the woods. Instead, it shoots diagonally upward.
"Whoosh!"
The steel arrow flew straight into the air, until it flew above the woods before stopping, and then it fell sharply downward. It was falling faster than it had been shot out, as if a bolt of lightning had struck the trees from the sky.
This incredible arrow stunned everyone present, including Zhang Bufan, who unconsciously opened his mouth wide. His eyes were as wide as copper bells, and people couldn't help but worry about him. Keep your eyes wide and your eyeballs will fly out.
The steel arrow, which had fallen sharply downward, pierced through the dense branches and landed on the back of the hare at the front with great precision, and with a crisp click, the arrow edged out from the hare's back and out of its lower abdomen. The castration is unabated, and it is inserted into the soil.
This arrow directly nailed the hare to the ground, and interestingly, because this arrow fell from the sky too suddenly. The hare behind him didn't even see what was going on, and slammed headfirst into the shaft of the steel arrow that stood on the ground.
With a muffled thud, the hare slammed into a solid one, rolled backwards and back, and when it stopped, it fell to the ground, its limbs twitching, and it could not stand up no matter how hard it tried.
An arrow first shoots the rabbit in front, and then comes to a 'waiting for the rabbit', so that the rabbit behind has no time to react and is knocked unconscious, if this is not a coincidence, but Ling Wuya designed it, people really can't use words to comment on Ling Wuya's archery, it's too incredible, it's too incredible.
Just like when Zhang Bufan finished shooting the arrow just now, the scene was silent and silent, the difference was that this silence lasted all the time, and no one stood up to cheer for Ling Wuya from beginning to end.
It's very simple, from Zhang Bufan's archery, people can feel the exquisiteness of his archery, but in Ling Wuya's archery, people only have one feeling, horror, that is a sense of fear from the depths of their hearts.
Zhang Bufan swallowed his saliva with difficulty, looked at the dead rabbit in the woods, and then looked back at Ling Wuya, then looked at the rabbit, and then looked at Ling Wuya, and finally, he was like a deflated ball, his shoulders collapsed, and his head drooped, but he still didn't admit defeat, and patted Ling Wuya's shoulder seriously, and the old god said on the ground: "Xiaoya, good luck!"
Seeing this, Lin Haotian shook his head with a wry smile, put on an arrow, and said to Chu Chen: "Chu Chen, there must be something wrong when I return to Beijing this time!"
Chu Chen came back to his senses, stepped forward quickly, nodded and said, "Exactly, my lord, this time the last general will return to Beijing to introduce someone to your lordship." ”
Lin Haotian shot the arrow in his hand again, and just like just now, the arrow still flew straight into the sky. He took a deep breath, drew another arrow from the guard, and at the same time turned around, looked directly at Chu Chen, and asked with a smile, "Is that the scholar who came with you?"
It turned out that the adults had already noticed Xun Xiu! Chu Chen hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's this person!" After a pause, he changed his words and said, "My lord, this person is Nie Shu's subordinate. ”
"Nie Shu?" Lin Haotian looked at Chu Chen puzzled.
Chu Chen explained: "Nie Shu is the leader of the largest rebel army in Youdi, and he sent Xun Xiu to our country to discuss an alliance with our country. ”
"Haven't heard of it. Lin Haotian smiled lightly, twisted his bow and arrows, and raised his head to the guards guarding the rabbit cage, and the guards understood, opened a rabbit cage, and released the rabbits inside.
Lin Haotian's fingers holding the tail of the arrow suddenly loosened, the bowstring flicked, and with a snap, the arrow flew out, hitting the fleeing hare, knocking it to the ground, and then he said slowly: "A mere rebel army dares to come to negotiate an alliance with our country, do they have this qualification?"
Seeing that Lin Haotian had already talked to Chu Chen about business, Zhang Bufan and Ling Wuya also put away the mentality of the game, handed over the bow and arrow to the guards next to them, and stepped aside.
Chu Chen Zhengse said: "Nie Shu should not be underestimated. ”
Between words. He took the quiver from the guard, took out an arrow, handed it to Lin Haotian, and said, "Now, there are as many as 200,000 soldiers and horses under Nie Shu's command, occupying nearly two counties in Youdi. If Nie Shu's department continues to grow, it can at least help our country contain tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Yan troops, even if they are defeated in the end, it can greatly consume the combat power of the Yan army. ”
Lin Haotian narrowed his eyes and didn't answer immediately, his mind was turning sharply, if this was really the case, this rebel leader Nie Shu really couldn't be underestimated!
He took the arrow and didn't have to say anything. The guard had consciously released the rabbit, and a green light flashed in his eyes, and then, with an arrow, shot the rabbit that had fled into the forest. "Go and call that Xun Xiu over!"
"Yes, my lord!" Chu Chen's heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly bowed to salute, then turned sideways and beckoned to Xun Xiu behind him.
Xun Xiu had been waiting impatiently. Seeing that Chu Chen finally summoned himself, he was nervous and excited. After taking a few deep breaths, he walked forward quickly, and before he could reach Lin Haotian's approach, he was stopped by a nearby guard, and then, a guard walked up to him. After a careful body search, he was not armed, and then let him go.
After walking to Chu Chen's side, Xun Xiu knelt down and kowtowed in an orderly manner, and his voice couldn't help but tremble a little and said, "Villain Xun Xiu." Meet General Lin. ”
"En!" Lin Haotian just replied lightly, didn't look at him, looked at the rabbit that fled to the forest affectionately and intently, and shot the arrow in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
"Pounce!"
With a precise arrow, the hare rolled several meters away before stopping.
"I heard that Nie Shu sent you to see Ben Shuai?"
"Exactly!"
"The purpose of this trip is to form an alliance with our country?"
"Exactly!"
"You only bring one mouth, and you want to form an alliance with our country, it's too insincere!" Lin Haotian lowered his head and looked at Xun Xiu who was kneeling on the ground with a smile.
"Back to General Lin, the villain has brought the defense map of the Yan army to Youdi to show the sincerity of my general. ”
As he spoke, Xun Xiu hurriedly opened the package and took out a parchment roll from it.
A guard took the parchment roll, looked through it carefully, and then handed it to Lin Haotian.
Lin Haotian took it and unfolded it, which drew a detailed topographic map of Youdi, and clearly marked where there was the Yan army, where there were Yan army's checkpoints, fortresses, camps, and the number of Yan troops, and even who the main general was.
If this map is true, it is obvious that Nie Shu has put a lot of thought into finding out the intelligence, and for Jin Guo, this intelligence map is also extremely precious.
Lin Haotian couldn't tell the truth from it, and handed it over to Chu Chen, who was much more familiar with the situation in You Di than him.
Chu Chen also saw this map for the first time, and after he took it, he lowered his head and carefully discerned it.
He is not very familiar with the inland situation of Youdi, but he is familiar with the border situation of Youdi, where is the station of the Yan army, where is the checkpoint of the Yan army, he basically knows it well, through the marking of the situation of the Yan army on the border on this map, he can conclude that this map should be true.
After reading it, he nodded slightly to Lin Haotian, indicating that this picture was correct.
Lin Haotian finally showed a smile on his face, waved to Xun Xiu and said, "You get up!"
"General Xie Lin!" Xun Xiuchang breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up from the ground.
"Tell me about it!" Lin Haotian picked up his bow and arrow again, and said slowly: "You are just a local rebel, and what you occupy is only a projectile land, why should my Jin Kingdom form an alliance with you." ”
Xun Xiu's face was straight, and he said: "General Lin, although our territory in Youdi is still very small, the people of Youdi support us, and this is our biggest capital. After a slight pause, he said: "You people hate Yan people, hate unforgettable, but all along, You people lack cohesion, can not organize effective resistance, now my general raised the banner of reviving You country, in You Di a hundred responses, all you people with lofty ideals have come to ......"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Lin Haotian said faintly: "Back then, I also had my Jin Kingdom who sent troops to destroy You, presumably, You people hated me Jin people and hated them unforgettable, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding guards raised their hands one after another, clasped the swords under their ribs, and Chu Chen on the side couldn't help but change his face slightly.
Xun Xiu hurriedly said: "General Lin doesn't know, although the Jin army has also invaded Youdi, but it came quickly. They walked fast and didn't do anything to hurt Youren, but Yanguo was different, they occupied Youdi, enslaved Youyou, and killed innocents indiscriminately. If the hatred of the people is ten percent, then the hatred of the Jin country is less than one percent, but the hatred of the Yan country is more than ninety percent!"
Lin Haotian was stunned, then looked up and smiled.
It is especially difficult to tame, he did not advocate the division of You Guo at the beginning, nor did he ask for an inch of land in You Guo, and now it seems that his original decision was still very wise.
"Then tell me more. After the alliance, what can you help our country, and what kind of help do you need from our country?"
"Containing a large number of Yan troops for the Jin country, so that the Yan country has to be distracted and look westward, this is our greatest help to the Jin country. Xun Xiu didn't think about it, and said in one breath.
Well, that's right! Lin Haotian asked again, "What do you want?"
"This ......"
"Let's get it straight, Ben Shuai thought. There shouldn't be too much to ask for from Ben Shuai. The corners of Lin Haotian's mouth raised, and he shot the arrow in his hand.
As General Lin said. Now, our side is in urgent need of armaments, grain and grass and military salaries, as long as we can get enough armaments, grain and grass and military salaries, our combat strength will be more than doubled, and we will definitely become the most powerful ally of Jin. ”
What Xun Xiu said is the truth, and now the only thing that Nie Shu does not lack is soldiers and horses. As for the rest, almost everything is missing.
Armament is not something that you can do in three or five days by inciting and inciting the people, it needs to be supported by a strong industrial base, the creation of weapons, the manufacture of armor, and the construction of ordnance. For an army, these have a direct impact on combat effectiveness, and as for money and food, it is even more important, it is the lifeline of the whole army, and the current Nie Shu Department does not have these at all.
Relying on the strength of only one county, it is impossible to support an army of nearly 200,000 in any case, and the lack of food alone is enough to kill. If he can form an alliance with the Jin State and get the assistance of the Jin State, then the various difficulties that Nie Shu is currently encountering will no longer be a problem, and the speed of growth will be doubled.
"Oh, it turned out to be money, food, and armaments. Lin Haotian smiled, took out an arrow, played with it casually in his hand, and said slowly: "Of course, my Jin country is short of money, food and armaments, but my Jin country's money and food armaments are not blown by the wind, and we have to make the best use of things, but I don't know if you have the qualifications to receive assistance from my Jin country." ”
"General Lin means ......"
Lin Haotian threw the bow and arrow in his hand and threw it to Xun Xiu, and said with a smile: "Let's gamble, if you can shoot the rabbit that runs away, what you want, Ben Shuai can be satisfied, if you can't shoot, my Jin Kingdom will not help you with a single money or food, and besides, your head will stay." ”
Hearing this, the surrounding golden generals all laughed, only Chu Chen's brows were twisted into a pimple, Xun Xiu was a civilian official rather than a military general, let him shoot an arrow, and he shot a fleeing rabbit in this dark situation now, no matter what, it is really difficult for a strong man to make such a condition.
He whispered, "Your Excellency......"
Lin Haotian waved his hand at him, interrupted his next words, stared at Xun Xiu with straight eyes, and asked with a smile: "Why, Mr. Xun doesn't dare to bet? If this is the case, where do you come from and where do you go back, you are not qualified to talk to Ben Shuai anymore." ”
At this time, Xun Xiu was sweating like rain, he had never touched a bow and arrow before, but if he wanted to shoot a rabbit in the current situation of blindness in the black light, he couldn't do it anyway, and he wasn't even sure that he could pull the bowstring apart.
"General Lin......" Xun Xiu's body trembled suddenly, and he begged in a trembling voice.
Not wanting to listen to his words at all, Lin Haotian waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Send off! As soon as he finished speaking, two guards walked up to Xun Xiu and said coldly: "Your Excellency, please!"
Looking at the guards in front of him, and then at Lin Haotian who was looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back, Xun Xiu gritted his teeth, and finally turned his heart sideways, and said loudly: "General Lin, the villain is just a gamble." ”
"Oh?" Lin Haotian turned around, smiling Xun Xiu, and at the same time waved his hand to the two guards, signaling them to retreat, he said with a smile: "Well, this is like words!" As he spoke, he nodded to the guards guarding the rabbit cage.
One of the guards opened the rabbit cage, and the rabbit inside sprang out as fast as it could, and ran forward with a fast grip on the turf.
Now, the sky is already dark, and the rabbit has run out of more than ten meters, and normal people can no longer see its traces, only to see Xun Xiu hurriedly put the arrow on the bowstring, and then use the strength of milk to pull the string.
This bow is used by Lin Haotian, it is a hard bow among hard bows, even if there are no ten stones, there must be seven or eight stones, not to mention Xun Xiu, even if you find a strong soldier, you may not be able to pull this bow away.
Xun Xiu exerted his strength to eat, and his facial features were twisted, but he only pulled the bowstring a little. He didn't want to give up, his teeth rattled, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull the bowstring, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping down his cheeks.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding Jin generals and even the guards all laughed, Lin Haotian was also full of smiles, he walked in front of Xun Xiu, and said softly: "Mr. Xun, you can't even open the bow, how can you shoot a rabbit?"
"Your Highness, please...... Please give the villain some more time, and the villain will be able to pull the bow apart......"
"Haha-" Hearing this, the laughter around him became louder.
Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Mr. Xun, I have to remind you that the rabbit has run away." ”
Xun Xiu's body was shocked, and he looked up to see that there was no trace of a rabbit in the vast black area in front of him? He stood there like a chicken, his legs trembling involuntarily. (To be continued......)
