Outside the camp, more than 20 cavalrymen lined up, the leader of whom was holding a big bow and was shouting wantonly, and the torches in his hand made people vaguely see the upper bodies of these cavalrymen running back and forth in the night.

On the makeshift watchtower were the bodies of three arrows, the arrows were very high, all of them went straight to the vital point of the upper body, and there was even one person who was hit by an arrow in the right eye socket.

Wang Xueli escorted Li Yan, whose hands were bound, to the watchtower, looked at the corpse on the ground, and said with annoyance: "This arrow is definitely not an ordinary bandit, even among the thieves, it is also a first-class good hand. ”

"Can't you even keep such elite soldiers and horses?" Wang Xueli glared at Li Yan angrily and scolded.

Li Yan didn't dare to talk back to him at the moment, so he could only open his mouth and say: "It's been some time since I went down the mountain, where do I know what the situation is in the mountain, maybe something has happened." ”

"Change? If you dare to deceive me, you really have a change! Wang Xueli hatefully pulled out half of his saber and threatened.

"Don't worry, I can't run here." Li Yan moved his bound hands and said, the binding was very tight, and his hands were purple, which showed that he was bound with great resentment in the hearts of these cavalrymen.

"You'd better be honest, my brothers have already hung up the strings, if you have any bad intentions, you will be shot into a hornet's nest in an instant!" Wang Xueli continued to threaten, and behind the watchtower, the thirty cavalrymen were already fully clothed, holding bows and arrows in their hands and glaring angrily.

If it weren't for the fear that this was an ambush by the intruding army, Wang Xueli would have led people out to kill these mongrels who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, but unfortunately, he knew that Li Zicheng was treacherous with his troops, and if he attacked rashly, he would fall into a trap.

"Generally, this guy is very good at breaking into thieves and evil sects, and the arrows are accurate in shooting, and they are all mounted shooting, and the horses are too fast, we can't shoot accurately." A cavalryman with a feathered arrow on his shoulder walked down from the watchtower in embarrassment and complained.

"You're out of the way, are you?" Wang Xueli looked at the feather arrow on his shoulder and asked.

"It's not in the way, thanks to this cloth armor, it's just a little bit of skin, it's not easy to aim in the dark, and this guy is only shooting arrows and insulting outside, but he doesn't see the camp, I don't know what they want to do." The soldier complained.

When Wang Xueli heard this, he gritted his teeth, this guy is a bit evil in the army, it really doesn't look like Li Zicheng's style, and he believes Li Yan's words a little.

"Why don't you send someone to the camp to get some support?" Someone suggested.

"Damn, more than 20 cavalrymen are pressing Lao Tzu to fight more than 100 people, and I have to ask for support, don't mix with this damn old king in the future!" Wang Xueli glared at the man fiercely, then moved his gaze to Li Yan and said, "Dog thief, don't you want a chance, I'll give it to you, only once!" ”

Li Yan's heart sank when he heard this, he knew that Wang Xueli was not joking, if he really missed it, he would really kill himself to vent his anger.

But now there is no good choice, so I can only take a deep breath and say, "Just once!" ”

"Let him go!" Wang Xueli instructed the two soldiers who were guarding Li Yan behind him, and the two soldiers quickly used daggers to cut the hemp rope that bound Li Yan.

As soon as his hand was loosened, he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, but his tense heart still couldn't relax in the slightest, and without waiting for Li Yan to move his hands, Wang Xueli said in a low voice: "Give him the bow!" ”

A Ming army-style bow and arrow was handed over, Li Yan took it in his hand, shook his head and said: "No, the thief is at least twenty steps away from us, and I don't know how to wear armor, this bow is not strong enough, and I can't shoot." ”

"A scholar is still picky." The soldier behind him complained.

"I would like to borrow the bow of the chief Jiannu" Li Yan returned the Ming army's standard bow and arrow backhand to the soldiers behind him, looked at Wang Xueli and said.

Wang Xueli glanced at Li Yan in surprise, his eyes were full of distrust and disdain, and said: "I'm afraid that this bow won't be able to pull it away, don't complain if you cut your fingers when the time comes!" ”

"Willing to give it a try!" Li Yan insisted and said.

Wang Xueli's eyes narrowed as if he was thinking, but after a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you this opportunity." ”

He immediately took out the clear bow in the bow box and handed it to Li Yan, then took out five feather arrows from the quiver and handed them over: "The bow of the Tartar is not necessarily very good, but the feather arrows are indeed very good, these heavy arrows can wear heavy arrows, but even I can't shoot a few arrows." ”

Li Yan took the Qing bow and checked it in his hand, it did have some weight, and the feather arrows were different from the feather arrows of the Ming army, at least in terms of weight, they were completely different.

Wang Xueli took off the wrench from his finger, threw it to Li Yan and said, "Bring this, otherwise your fingers will be strangled!" ”

Li Yan put on the copper wrench handed to him by Wang Xueli, put the bowstring of the Qing bow on the wrench, and pulled it up hard, Li Yan's strength was not necessarily lower than Wang Xueli, but the dress he had just entered the military camp made everyone think that he was just a scholar, and many people in the camp thought that he was just a scholar like Gu Junen.

However, they all forgot that Li Yanna was also promoted by Li Jin from the homeless people to become a whistle commander, and being able to do a whistle is not just a matter of bragging, it is a real fight to be able to fight, and after being a whistle general, Li Yan has fought more than ten battles, and every time his subordinates are damaged, only he retreats.

And his talisman is precisely this amazing archery skill, which seems to be a natural talent, Li Yan's understanding of bows and arrows is always higher than others, in other words, the sixth sense.

Archery, especially archery twenty or thirty steps away, aiming these are redundant, in addition to the long-term accumulation of archery, it is by intuition, intuition to shoot accurately, not to shoot accurately, after all, that kind of distance is even if it is shot with a pistol, the probability of hitting is not high.

And Li Yan's intuition happens to be very accurate, and it is an exaggeration to describe it as a hundred shots, but there is still a chance of half.

Li Yanmeng pulled the bowstring full, all the soldiers were stunned, and even Wang Xueli, who had a disdainful face, was surprised, this scholar could really pull the strong bow of this tartar, which was obviously beyond the scope of their cognition.

Li Yan tried the strength of the Qing bow, and he could control it, but it was much more laborious than the Ming army's bow and arrow, and with heavy arrows, it was even more unpleasant.

But the current situation will not give him much time to get acquainted, Li Yan skillfully wound a feather arrow, pulled it away violently, aimed at a few moving torches in the night, and exhaled a few deeply.

In this case, there weren't too many bells and whistles, Li Yan only looked for a feeling slightly, and then let go suddenly.

"Whoosh-" A feathered arrow burst through the sky and disappeared into the darkness, and before long, there was a cry of pain not far away, and a torch wandering in the night was extinguished.

"Hit!" The Ming army was overjoyed and cheered.

Wang Xueli looked as usual, Li Yan was not simple, judging from his proficiency in opening the bow and archery, this person was not a novice, and in terms of decisiveness in archery, this person was only afraid that archery skills were still very good, and Wang Xueli had already guessed the result at the moment of opening the bow.

Without waiting for Li Yan to react, two feather arrows broke through the air, and they were inserted on the outer wall of the watchtower with two "pops".

"Almost" Li Yan shrank behind the wall in fright, but if the angle of these two feather arrows was higher, he was afraid that he would explain it here, and he almost forgot that Liu Zongmin's men were all elites of the front battalion who had survived a hundred battles.

After taking a few deep breaths and relaxing, Li Yan cautiously poked his head out to inquire about the situation outside, in the dark night, several torches had been extinguished, thinking that after someone was shot, these cavalry did not dare to hold up, and they extinguished the torches one after another and escaped into the night.

The only exception was thirty paces away, and two more torches were still burning, and they stood there motionless, as if they were guarding something, thirty paces, and it was not an ordinary person to shoot at this distance.

Li Yan's mind spun rapidly, since those two torches were motionless, there must be some important person there, this attack must have been planned by Liu Zongmin, then between those two torches, I am afraid that it is the bastard surnamed Liu!

After thinking through it, Li Yan became murderous, Liu Zongmin almost killed himself this time, and there was no need for him to be merciful, it would be best if he could shoot him here, after all, no one would accuse him of shooting Liu Zongmin now if he was reasonable, not to mention that if Liu Zongmin, a poisonous snake, was kept dormant, the ghost knows if he would put himself together again in the future.

Li Yan admitted that he really looked down on Liu Zongmin before, and felt that this No. 1 general of the Chuang Army, who had not left any records in history, was nothing more than that, but now, he no longer planned to underestimate the enemy!

Li Yan took a deep breath, turned over and leaned out of the shelter of the battlements, pulled the Manqing bow and pointed an arrow at the position between the two torches, and without waiting for the kick, he immediately picked up the second feather arrow and fired it with a bow, and then the third and fourth arrows.

In less than ten breaths, all four feather arrows were shot out, and Li Yan's right hand was directly out of force because of the excessive force, and he hurriedly hid in the battlements.

Shooting four feather arrows in a row is not easy to do, and even many soldiers of the Ming army are impressed by Li Yan, and even have some admiration.

In order to improve the probability of hitting, Li Yan simply shot all four arrows at once, and the result did not live up to his expectations, and in the dark night, there were several screams of pain and exclamation.

The two torches were also extinguished......

Shot, Li Yan saw this situation and knew it in his heart, Liu Zongmin was shot by himself without accident, but life and death just don't know.

As Li Yan thought, it was obvious that these arrows hit the important people of the invading army below, and the invading army below did not scold and stay anymore, and retreated into the mountains and forests one after another.

"It's amazing," several Ming soldiers looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh in surprise.

"You straight thief, not a scholar!" Wang Xueli saw that the army was retreating, and he also knew that it was Li Yan's arrows that worked, so he scolded and said to Li Yan, but his eyes were obviously not the same as the previous contempt.

Li Yan's arrows had already made his arm lose his strength, but he was afraid that it would swell up tomorrow, so he just smiled weakly and said, "Mr. General, I never said that I was a scholar?" I don't know if I can avoid death now? ”

"Yes! Yes or no more! Wang Xueli laughed, strode forward and patted Li Yan's shoulder and grinned and said, "Brother Li Yan, yes, both civil and military, I see that you are really a thief!" ”

"It's too much of a reputation" Li Yan wanted to get up and salute, but his right hand was sore, and he couldn't lift it.

"Hey, no, you don't have to!" Wang Xueli held down Li Yan, who wanted to salute, and then shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Go, call a Lang Zhong to show my brother!" ”

They soldiers are like this, if you win their respect, then they will treat you sincerely, treat you like a robe, and in the barracks, the most important thing is personal bravery, in fact, this is also the case in the camp, Li Zicheng is not willing to let Liu Zongmin die, but if he really wants to give up Gu Junen and Li Yan, Li Zicheng will not hesitate.

It's a pity that Li Yan has never been a pure scholar, he is a soldier, in Wang Xueli's army, with these few arrows, Li Yan not only avoided death, but even gained the respect of Wang Xueli's subordinates, Wang Xueli no longer dared to despise this "scholar" who broke into the camp.

Of course, Liu Zongmin was not shot, Li Yan's head was still off, and thirty steps were indeed farther, and Liu Zongmin was wearing heavy armor, but after all, he only shot in the shoulder, and he didn't even hurt his bones.

However, since that day, there have been rumors in the camp that Mr. Liu was attacked and injured by a wild boar while patrolling, and the people who broke into the camp secretly sighed that the wild boar in the Yufu Mountain was really fierce, and even the iron armor could break through......
