Chapter Twenty-Four: Bow and Condor Shooting
Not far from the "Seven Sages", there is such a cliff.
Guo Jing, Guo Mo, Hua Zheng, when they were young, they often came here to play.
On the top of the cliff live a pair of white eagles, this pair of white eagles are very huge, much larger than the usual eagles, and they are really alien.
The white feathers of the eagle are already rare, and the body of the eagle is so huge, even the old people in the Mongolian people say that they have never seen it, and they all say that this is a pair of "sacred birds", and the foolish woman actually worships it.
A group of five people and five horses, a cup of tea, came to the bottom of the cliff.
Sure enough, I saw that there were seventeen or eighteen black eagles, besieging the pair of white eagles, and the two sides pecked each other, only to the point that the feathers were flying.
The white eagle is big, the mouth and claws are extremely powerful, a black eagle dodge is a little slow, but a white eagle is pecked in the middle of the head, immediately killed, from the air will turn down, just in front of the Chinese Zheng horse.
The rest of the black eagles scattered and fled, but then flew back to besiege the white eagles. After another fight, the Mongolian men and women on the steppe rushed to watch the battle, and six or seven hundred people had gathered under the cliff, pointing and discussing one after another.
Temujin was rewarded with great sweat, and he also brought Wokotai and Tuo Lei and others to arrive, and they watched it with relish, and from time to time they also commented on the "tactical tactics of war" of the Black Eagle Clan.
Guo Jing, Guo Mo, and Hua Zheng, they often saw this pair of white eagles when they were young, watching them catch food, fly on the cliffs, and change from small eagles to big eagles.
Unconsciously regarded this pair of white eagles as his "pets", and now he saw that this pair of white eagles was besieged by a group of black eagles, and he was obviously outnumbered, and he was very anxious.
After a long fight, the black eagle died two more times, and the two white eagles were also scarred, and the white feathers were stained with blood.
At this time, a large black eagle suddenly shouted a few times, and more than a dozen black eagles turned around and fled in unison.
When everyone saw the victory of the white eagle, they all cheered.
After a while, three more black eagles also turned around and fled to the east, one white eagle was reluctant, and then rushed away, and in a moment they had flown away.
There was only one black eagle left, fleeing high and low, forced to be embarrassed by the remaining white eagle.
Seeing this, the black eagle could not escape his life. Suddenly, there was a strange sound in the air, and more than a dozen black eagles swooped down from the clouds and pecked at the white eagles together.
Temujin applauded: "Good art of war!" ”
At this time, the white eagle was alone, and was even more defeated by the siege of more than ten black eagles, although a black eagle was pecked to death, and finally he was seriously injured and fell on the cliff, and the black eagles pounced on it and pecked indiscriminately.
Hua Zheng is a girl's heart in the end, seeing the tragic death of the white eagle, she cried out in a hurry, and even shouted: "Daddy, daddy, shoot the black eagle quickly." ”
The black eagles pecked the white eagles to death, and then threw themselves into a hole in the cliff, only to see the heads of two little white eagles sticking out of the hole, and they were looking out curiously, and they saw that they were about to peck the black eagles to death.
Hua Zheng shouted: "Daddy, hurry, hurry up and shoot?" He also called: "Guo Jing, Guo Jing, you see, the white eagle gave birth to a pair of small eagles, why don't we know?" Ugh. Daddy, shoot the black eagle to death! ”
Temujin smiled slightly, bent his bow, and took the iron arrow, and with a "whoosh", the arrow was like lightning, and it was piercing into the body of the black eagle flying in front, and everyone cheered in unison.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, the black eagles fled one after another. The Mongolian generals also bent their bows and shot at each other, but after the black eagles flapped their wings and flew high, it was extremely difficult to shoot down, and the strength of the strong crossbow had weakened, and it had fallen before it could touch the body of the eagle.
Temujin exclaimed: "Whoever can shoot the black eagle will be rewarded." The archer Jebe also came with Temujin Khan, and he glanced at Guo Jing, intending to ask Guo Jing to show his skills.
picked up his bow and arrow, handed it to Guo Jing, and whispered: "Jing'er, kneel down and shoot your neck." ”
Guo Jing nodded yes, took the bow and arrow, knelt on his right knee, held the iron bow firmly with his left hand, and did not tremble at all, and pulled a hard bow of about 200 catties away with his right hand.
At this moment, seeing the two black eagle wings flying from the left, Guo Jing's left arm moved slightly, aiming at the neck of the black eagle, and the five fingers of his right hand were released.
The black eagle was about to dodge, and the shaft of the arrow had passed through its neck. The strength of this arrow did not wane, and then it shot into the belly of the second black eagle, and an arrow pierced through the double eagle, falling sharply from the air, and everyone cheered in unison.
The rest of the black eagles did not dare to stay any longer, flapped their wings and flew away.
Hua Zheng whispered to Guo Jing: "Guo Jing, dedicate the double eagle to my father." Guo Jing picked up the double eagle according to his words, ran to the Temujin horse, knelt on one knee, and held it high above the top.
Temujin's favorite in his life was a good general and a warrior, and he was very happy to see that Guo Jing actually ran through two eagles with one arrow.
You must know that the northern eagle eagle is extraordinary, with its wings spread out, and it is more than a zhang long.
The feathers are as hard as iron, and they can snatch the whole pony and big sheep into the air, and the end is extremely powerful, and even the tiger and leopard must quickly dodge when they encounter the eagle.
Guo Jing can kill two birds with one stone, which is very rare.
Temujin ordered his soldiers to put away the double eagles and said with a smile: "Guo Jing, good boy, your archery skills are very good!" ”
Guo Jing refused to hide Zhebei's merits, and arched his hand and said: "It's all taught by Master Jebe." ”
Temujin smiled and said, "Hehe, young man, it's good to know humility, but you must also know that 'don't give in', the master is Jebe, and the apprentice is also Jebe." ”
A group of people, hearing Temujin's praise of Guo Jing, congratulated each other in unison.
Guo Mo watched from the side for a long time, purely as a spectator, without the slightest idea of stealing the show, after all, bowing and archery is not his strong point.
And this "killing two birds with one stone" was originally Guo Jing's highlight moment, otherwise where would the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" come from?
Seeing that everyone was cheering for Guo Jing, Guo Mo's naughty heart suddenly rose, and he also coaxed: "Condor heroes, Condor heroes, ...... Condor heroes"
Hua Zheng heard the words "Condor Heroes"? That's good! So he immediately shouted "Condor Heroes, Condor Heroes...... and everyone of course echoed.
For a time, the shouts of "Condor Heroes" resounded throughout the grassland.
"Daddy, you just said that there is a reward, but it still counts?" Hua Zheng saw that everyone only cared about praising Guo Jing, but no one mentioned the reward promised by Temujin just now, so he asked anxiously.
Tuo Lei helped his righteous brother, and then said to Temujin: "Daddy, you said that the person who shot the black eagle will be rewarded heavily, and now I have answered that I will kill two eagles with one stone, what are you going to reward him?" ”
Looking at his pair of children, actually asking for a reward for Guo Jing, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, "Hehe, could it be that I am a dignified Temujin Khan, and I will still deceive my children?" ”
"Guo Jing, tell me, what reward do you want?" Temujin looked back.
"Great Khan, the Great Khan has taken good care of our family all these years, we have always been grateful, and we don't need additional rewards from the Great Khan." Guo Jing hurriedly excused himself.
"Hey, since Ben Khan promised a reward in public, if he breaks his promise and gets fat, how will Ben Khan command the three armies in the future?"
Seeing Guo Jing's resignation, Temujin's face sank in an instant.
