Ziyue grew, and Lin Ziyue, who was shrinking in Wuji's arms, groaned softly and moved, but did not open her eyes.

"Brother, where are we?" she said in a hoarse voice.

"It's still in the Purple Moon Forest, and it's still some distance from hell. Mowgli patted her on the back, "How do you feel? ”

"Oh, it's okay, I just don't have the strength. ”

"That's out of strength. Wuji took Jiu Haoluo, shook it in front of Lin Ziyue, and laughed softly: "You seem to have made the wrong string, and the arrow was not used correctly." You can tell you're nervous. ”

"Really?" Lin Ziyue opened her eyes and squinted, a hint of blush appeared on her pale face. She clung to Mowgli's chest and muttered, "Alas, it's a shame." After ten years of archery practice, it is the first time that I have made such a mistake. No wonder I just felt something was wrong. Hey, that's not right......"

Lin Ziyue sat up, took Jiu Haoluo from Wuji's hand, and looked at it carefully for a while.

"I ...... Did I pull it apart just now?"

Mowgli was stunned. I don't know if I pull the bow or not?

"It's pulled away, and it's full. Silly Jiu came over and looked at Lin Ziyue with admiration. "I think the bird was scared away by you, otherwise, how could we be safe. ”

"Get out!" Lin Ziyue glared at Silly Jiu. "I'm wrong on the string, and the arrow is naturally wrong, how can I scare away the heavy bird. Chongming Bird is a beast and doesn't know how to bow and arrow, but Yin Jiao is a battle-hardened general, can he see it?"

Mowgli also felt a little puzzled. He carefully recalled the scene just now, and then realized that Lin Ziyue was not right at all.

Different bows should be equipped with different arrows, and when the bow is full, the arrow is in front of the finger holding the bow. If it is too short, the bow will not be able to draw, and if it is too short, the arrow will appear too heavy. Difficult to shoot far. Although Jiu Haoluo is only a bow, it is equipped with different bowstrings, and each bowstring represents a bow.

The string Lin Ziyue used just now was shorter than the usual string, the arc of the bow was larger, the strength was greater, and the arrows required were longer. However, the arrow on Lin Ziyue's bow seemed a little short, and the arrow was already on her finger. Once off-string, the arrow will miss its target.

It's not a big mistake, but it can't hide from the eyes of the archers. Although Yin Jiao is not an archer. But he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his eyesight is good, and it is impossible not to notice this.

In that case, why would he retreat without a fight?

Wuji doesn't believe that Yin Jiao is because he once realized the Tao and had good thoughts in his heart. Looking at the expressions of Lin Ziyue and Silly Jiu and others, you can know that the Chongming Bird is definitely a fierce bird, and Yin Jiao got the Chongming Bird, and it is impossible to be a good person. He left without a fight, and there was only one possibility: there was no certainty of victory.

There are only two people who can pose a threat to Yin Jiao: one is him who has mastered the giant. The first is Lin Ziyue, who holds Jiu Haoluo.

Yin Jiao stood on the back of the Chongming Bird, condescending, and held air supremacy. Not to mention that the number of giants is limited, even if there are tens of thousands. The initiative is also on the side of Yin Jiao, he can come when he wants, and leave when he wants, and the giant can only stand on the ground and watch.

So. The only person who can make Yin Jiao uneasy is Lin Ziyue. She is the only one here who has the ability to strike from a distance, and can threaten the safety of Yin Jiao and Chongming Bird.

However, Lin Ziyue made a mistake in his busyness. Even the strings are wrong, the arrows are not used correctly, what other threat can there be?

After careful analysis, Wuji suddenly realized something. He poured out all the arrows and strings in his quiver, spread them on the ground, and examined them one by one.

There is only one type of arrow in the quiver, but there are twenty-one strings, six kinds of strings with three strings each, and three strings with only one. The string that Lin Ziyue hung on the bow just now was one of them.

"Ziyue, have you used this string before?"

"I haven't used it. Lin Ziyue pondered for a moment and glanced at Wuji. Mowgli understood, and asked Silly Jiu to continue to prepare dinner and arrange vigilance. Silly Jiu listened to it energetically, but was pushed aside, and couldn't help but complain a little, and muttered away.

"Jiu Hao Luo has nine kinds of strings, which represent nine different types of bows. The longest string represents the weakest bow and is suitable for beginner drills. The shorter the string, the stronger the bow power, and the sixth type is the bow used at the peak of the Arrow Sect, with this kind of arrow, it can shoot up to a thousand steps. ”

Wuji nodded, somewhat understanding what Lin Ziyue meant. Jiu Haoluo is a treasure bow, there is no need to replace the bow body, only need to use different strings to form different bow forces.

"However, there are only six types of arrows, and there is no corresponding arrow for these three strings. Lin Ziyue pointed to the three unique strings, "For a long time, no one knew what these three kinds of arrows looked like, and we have developed many arrows of different specifications, but none of them can reach more than 1,000 steps." ”

"You followed me to Xianyang, did you want to search for some news from the books in the Heavenly Academy?"

That's exactly what it means. Brother, you have almost read through the collection of books in the Heavenly Academy, do you have any relevant information?"

Mowgli shook his head. "Most of the books in the Heavenly Academy are about the Book of Heaven, not even swordsmanship. I still learned my swordsmanship from Gai Wushuang's father and daughter. I suspect that the collection of books on martial arts may be in the Heavenly Sword Academy. ”

"Is that so?" Lin Ziyue regretted a little. "It would have been nice to ransack the Heavenly Sword Courtyard in the first place. ”

"Looting the Heavenly Sword Academy, you may not be able to find relevant information. The heavy bow and crossbow of the Great Qin Empire was a matter of the early days of the empire, and later the transfiguration technique became popular in the world, and the bow and crossbow had become the last skill, and only centaur knights used it. Even so, Great Qin hadn't produced an archer at the level of an archer for hundreds of years. ”

"Isn't there no hope at all?"

"Not really. "Mowgli refers to Jiu Haoluo. "I don't think the arrow is the key, it's the bow that matters. Have any of you ever pulled these three strings before?"

"People don't. Lin Ziyue shook her head. "But it was mechanically pulled apart. ”

"But you just pulled it away. Mowgli smiled. "You pulled away in a hurry, without any preparation, that's why you lost your strength. Ziyue, I suspect that these three strings don't use arrows at all, they should represent the Arrow Saint and the Arrow God-level Divine Bow, and they don't shoot arrows, but ideas. ”

Lin Ziyue was taken aback: "Thoughts?"

"Yes, it wasn't the arrow that scared Yin Jiao away just now, but your mind. You have been in the Dao for a long time, but you have not really understood the archery of the Dao realm, one is because you are lazy and do not want others to put the responsibility on your shoulders, and the other is because you have a misunderstanding and have been looking for the legendary arrow. As everyone knows, there is no such arrow in the world. The real arrow, not elsewhere, is in your heart. ”

Lin Ziyue's eyes widened, staring at Wuji, and she was suspicious. "Brother, you said it so well, it sounds very powerful. ”

"Xuan is not Xuan, when you recover, you will know if you try again. Wuji patted Lin Ziyue on the shoulder. Smile slightly. "Ziyue, you may have unintentionally really pushed open the door of the Arrow Saint Realm. ”

"Really?" Lin Ziyue couldn't help but be overjoyed.

......

A long procession, marching through the Purple Moon Forest.

After defeating Meng Wuwu's 20,000 forwards, Meng Ziwei did not act for a long time, but Ying Yiran did not dare to relax. She knows exactly what kind of opponent she's up against. The Meng family is a family of famous generals of the empire for thousands of years, and Meng Ziwei is the most outstanding contemporary general of the Meng family, who has been in the army for more than 40 years. There are more than 100 battles of all sizes, and there are few defeats.

It can be said that the southeastern half of the Great Qin Empire was fought down by the Meng family, and only in the hands of Meng Ziwei. It expands the territory for nearly a thousand miles. If it weren't for the changes within the empire, the Purple Moon Forest would sooner or later be a stroke in Mengzi's book of military exploits, and it would probably be the final work.

Meng Ziwei has been preparing for this for nearly ten years, and now it will only be launched in advance.

Ying also sent a large number of scouts. Inquire about the movements of the Qin army. The archers of the Yu Republic have lived in the Purple Moon Forest since childhood, are familiar with the terrain, and are good at hunting. When encountering a small-scale Qin army, even if they don't win, they can retreat with their whole body, and they are the most suitable for scouts. It didn't take long for Ying Yiran to receive the news that Meng Ziwei was increasing his troops.

The Long Xiang Legion had a million troops, and Meng Ziwei only brought 100,000 men at the beginning, and when he discovered Ying Yiran's command ability, he immediately abandoned his plan for a quick victory and instead prepared for a large-scale full-scale invasion. During the period of his confrontation with the Arrow God Mountain, he mobilized at least 300,000 troops into the Purple Moon Forest and marched towards the Arrow God Mountain from three directions, one of which was detouring back to the back of the Arrow God Mountain from the east.

Once these three-way armies reach the designated position, Arrow God Mountain will be surrounded by 400,000 elite Qin troops.

Ying Yiran did not dare to slack off, and immediately built yì to abandon the Arrow God Mountain and retreat in the direction of Xiaoyang Kingdom.

Lin Xuanzhi refused. The Yu Republic guards the right wing of the Purple Moon Forest, with the Wind Country on the left and the Xiaoyang Kingdom behind it. Once the Yu Republic is defeated, the right wing of the Fangfeng Kingdom will be exposed to the Qin army, and it will be a matter of time before it is lost.

Ying also has a different opinion on this. Withdrawing to Xiaoyang State is not defeated, but taking the initiative to retreat and preserve the living force. As long as the strength of the Yu Republic is still there, Meng Ziwei will not dare to attack Fangfeng Mountain with all his strength. If he continues to attack Xiaoyang Kingdom, then his battle line will be at least stretched for nearly a thousand miles, the pressure on supplies will increase, and more importantly, once there is something in the country, it will be difficult for him to retreat in time.

Lin Xuanzhi agreed with Ying Yiran's analysis, he agreed with Ying Yiran and most of the Yumin people to retreat, but he stayed. He wants to live and die with the Arrow God Mountain and fight until the last moment.

Ying Yiran persuaded hard for a long time, Lin Xuanzhi did not agree, and finally only divided the troops, the national teacher Lin Xianzhi led most of the people of the Republic of Yu to retreat to Xiaoyang State, Lin Xuanzhi led his own 300 guards to defend the Arrow God Mountain, and at the same time stopped the Qin army, buying time for the retreat of Lin Xianzhi and others.

Everyone knows that the three hundred people left behind can't hold the Arrow God Mountain, and there is only one ending in the end. Therefore, this separation is a parting of life and death. Thinking of this, even Lin Xianzhi, who had always been at odds with Lin Xuanzhi, sighed and regretted his previous behavior.

Ying Yiran was also very moved, but she was not immersed in this emotion, she carefully deployed, arranged a large number of scouts and alert forces, constantly probed the situation ahead, and was ready to fight the Qin army at any time.

Her calmness and intelligence were recognized by everyone, including Lin Xianzhi, and unconsciously, she became the leader of this team.

Soon, she received news that Sha Ruhai, the new king of Xiaoyang, was ordered by the national teacher Wuji to lead two thousand giants to help.

Ying Yiran let out a long sigh of relief.

She immediately sent Lin Fei to chase after Wuji and report on the recent battle situation-
