Volume 2 Lezhi Academy Chapter 58
Ye Zi and Seventh Sister were a little frightened, they both nodded, and according to Elder Long's instructions, they got into the car and prepared.
Liu Jizu asked Laifu to get on the train, and the carriage suddenly became crowded.
Elder Long took out the wooden board that was used as the door from under the carriage, just blocking the carriage door, he turned his head to Liu Jizu and Wu Lun and said, "You guys take the folding crossbow to them!"
Wu Lun and Elder Long respectively took out the folding crossbow and small arrow in their treasure bags and handed them to Seventh Sister and Ye Zi. Liu Jizu's early gave to the seventh sister, and it was also a loss to be like this, in the past half a year, the seventh sister and Ye Zi can often practice these things, they can use them, and they are quite accurate.
Elder Long then instructed, "Sect Inheritance, you are here in the middle first, and Wu Lun and I are on one side. In my experience, it's very likely that they'll release the arrows later, and we'll hide in the car when they do. When they get close to shoot flat, let's use the vehicle as cover, Wu Lun and I will help you block the arrows on both sides, and you will shoot with them. Until you run out of arrows, or the enemy is already close, don't stop, try to hit as many as you can, and even if you can't shoot them, let them be injured and lose their combat effectiveness. You're done shooting arrows, and if they're still shooting, pick up the arrows they shot and shoot back. When their arrows are finished and the men are about to rush over and fight, you get on your horse and move forward, trying to keep them away from our cars. You don't care about the back, you can kill as much as you can, and don't show mercy. Whether we get out alive or not depends on how many enemies you can kill!
Wu Lun, you stand behind you, take out your judge's temper, and go on a killing spree, the time has come to fight hard! I will be in the middle and support you according to the situation. This place is so close to the capital, and the official road near the sect can be sealed, this time the trouble is not small, and there will be no fewer people coming, only the government and the sect can do it. I guess it happened in Siyizhuang, don't take chances. ”
When Wu Lun and Liu Jizu heard this, their hearts were full of joy, and they thought to themselves, how could they be exposed? Could it be that those people in Wujiazhuang betrayed themselves? But they were masked at the time, and those people didn't know their identities at all, not to mention that they had taken so much money, and selling themselves did not do them any good, so what was the problem?
Liu Jizu couldn't figure it out, he didn't know if Elder Long's guess would come true, but he had analyzed so many things for Elder Long through such a little abnormality, this kind of ability was indeed rare, and he had to study hard!
As if to confirm Elder Long's conjecture and respond to Liu Jizu's doubts, as soon as the three of them hid in the car in front, they heard the sound of horses' hooves and the footsteps of a large group of people and horses.
Liu Jizu took out the bow, held it in his arms and softened it with his body temperature, and adjusted the position of the quiver to facilitate extraction.
After a while, figures were seen on both sides of the official road, and when they reached a distance of two hundred paces, the one who took the lead began to shout loudly.
The man's voice was loud and could be heard clearly from afar, and he shouted: "We are the officials of Yong'an City, and we have been ordered to arrest the murder fugitives, you have been surrounded, quickly lay down your weapons, and obediently come out and surrender!"
Liu Jizu and the others ignored him at all, and when the man saw that he didn't react, he took out a red flag, raised his hand and shook it, and then let it aside, and a team of people with bows and arrows came out on the front and back of the official road.
Liu Jizu looked through the crack in the window and asked, "Grandfather, since these people are officials, why don't they wear official uniforms, but ordinary people?"
Elder Long also looked at it and replied, "What kind of official errand, now that the situation in the capital is so tense, how can the government send so many people." It is estimated that the four harms sent their respective families to the nursing home, so they can only wear civilian clothes. But they took bows and arrows again, it is estimated that the four harms family used their connections to get them from the army, which is a weapon that can only be used openly by the government, not to mention that the road has to be closed, so it is said to be an official errand to the outside world. It doesn't matter who they are, you just need to know that they're going to kill you. ”
I saw that the men continued to move, and when they were about a hundred and eighty paces away from their car, they stopped together, and after a whistle, they began to shoot together at an angle. I only heard the arrows rain down, falling on the roof of the car and around the car, and I couldn't stop making aggressive sounds. The six of them hid in a reinforced car, unscathed.
Liu Jizu listened to the rain of arrows, and thought to himself that if he knew in advance that the other party was using bows and arrows when he walked the rivers and lakes, it really wouldn't have much effect. But if it's a sneak attack, it's hard to say, there are so many arrows, even a master is difficult to defend. If there are more of them, the arrows are faster, the power is greater, and the shots are more accurate, then it is even more difficult to prevent. It is no wonder that the imperial court forbade the use of bows and arrows by the people, and in the era when there were no hot weapons, bows and arrows were considered the most powerful weapons.
Five rounds were fired from each side, and all three cars were full of diagonal arrows. At this time, there was another whistle outside, the rain of arrows stopped, and then the sound of the opposing party marching up.
Elder Long opened the window and saw that these people were about to move forward, so he motioned for the two of them to get out of the car quickly. Then he himself pulled out the wooden board that made the door from under the car, and asked Wu Lun to take the last piece under the car. This plank was originally intended to be used as a simple car door, but in order to make it easier to access, a handle was made in the middle of one side, but I didn't expect it to be very useful now, and it has become a ready-made shield, which is very easy to use.
According to Elder Long's previous arrangement, the three of them quickly found a good position under the cover of the car in front of the right, Elder Long was in front of the left, and Wu Lun was directly behind, holding a sword in one hand and a wooden door shield in the other, protecting Liu Jizu in the middle.
Liu Jizu quickly adjusted his state, bent his bow and arrows, adjusted his breathing, and waited for those people to enter the best range.
In a moment the men were one hundred and twenty paces away, and then stopped, and with a long whistle, they were about to start shooting again.
Liu Jizu can now accurately shoot the bull's-eye at this distance, his shooting speed is slightly faster than the opponent's, just after the whistle, an arrow left the string, and a person on the opposite side fell to the ground in response, covering the wound, lying on the ground and wailing, causing a commotion among the people around. The one who took the lead in the back gave a loud order to stop it, and had the person who was hit by the arrow drag behind so that he would not get in the way. Only then did these people stop their panic and start to fight back, and the rain of arrows on both sides hit again.
Elder Long and Wu Lun used shields in one hand to protect most of the bodies of the three of them, and with the other hand they used their swords to strike at the rest of the scattered arrow shafts, these arrows were of average strength and accuracy, and they were easy to protect. These people's archery skills are not comparable with Liu Jizu, at first glance, they are used temporarily, lack of training, not only lack accuracy, but also some of the arrows that come over can't even nail the wooden door. In addition, Liu Jizu's accurate counterattack exerted great psychological pressure on these people, making their shooting accuracy worse, and many arrows did not need to be ignored at all.
Liu Jizu quickly adjusted his breathing and entered the state, he opened the bow back and forth, overcoming the discomfort at the beginning, and slowly his movements became smoother. Take the arrow, buckle the string, open the bow, aim, loosen the string, the action is like flowing water, almost no arrows.
The rain of arrows gradually thinned out, and at last it stopped, and the people on both sides had finished shooting their arrows, and they were already lying down in a large area, and there was no one behind them to drag them.
And Liu Jizu's sixty arrows and all the arrows he could pick up around him were also shot. It was very laborious to shoot so densely and quickly, even for a strong person like Liu Jizu, it was a big burden, and his arms were already a little sore at this time, which ordinary people couldn't bear at all. Seeing that the other party had stopped shooting, Elder Long gave him a look. He put down his bow, put it in his sack, took it from his quiver, and threw it on the ground to lighten his load. Then he walked towards the wind, clenching his fists, moving his sore arms and neck, and walked to the back of the car step by step.
Liu Jizu untied the reins and pulled the wind out of the woods. Rufeng was lucky, only one arrow hit the saddle when it was thrown, Rufeng was not injured at all, and was not affected by the outside, and was still grazing leisurely. Liu Jizu turned over on the horse, copied the iron gun in his hand, and drove the horse forward, thinking that this was his first real horse battle, I don't know how powerful the master ancestor's marksmanship is, and today I can confirm it.
The distance of more than a hundred steps is a blink of an eye for horseback riding. More than half of the archers were shot down, some of the wounded were already dead, and the rest of the wounded were holding each other and retreating backwards. The rest of those who were not injured saw Liu Jizu rushing over on horseback, and they all pulled out a single knife from under their ribs and took the initiative to meet them.
When Liu Jizu saw it, he knew that these people had never fought with the cavalry, they had no knowledge, and they didn't even prepare a long weapon.
The two sides quickly exchanged hands, and sure enough, as Liu Jizu's judgment, Liu Jizu used the strength and speed of the horse to show his marksmanship, almost one shot at a time. When those people saw the iron spear stabbing at them, some tried to hide, and some tried to use knives to cut the stall, but to no avail. The speed of those who dodged was too slow, not as fast as Liu Jizu's iron gun, and they were all followed by Liu Jizu's gun on the back or side of the body. And those who blocked with knives, their little strength couldn't resist Liu Jizu's iron spear at all, at most the gun was slightly off the position, and the gun was still stabbed in the front of their body.
After a few face-to-face meetings, Liu Jizu had already figured out their approximate strength, these people were just warriors who could order moves, and they were still relatively poor. Liu Jizu happened to test the gun with this group of people, and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to feel how to better exert the power of the gun in actual combat. It wasn't until he really handed over that Liu Jizu really realized that it was one thing to practice up to the point, and it was another thing to fight to kill people and see blood. No wonder Shizu wants to go to the bandits and robbers to test the gun, it feels really different. When practicing, the moves are all pretending to be fighting the enemy, and it is impossible to really hurt the other person when fighting against the elders. But this is different, this is a real knife and a real gun. What does it feel like to pierce the flesh with the head of the gun? What is the difference between wearing armor and not piercing? What is the difference between piercing different parts of the body? How much resistance is there? How much force can be used? The stab is the most lethal there, the stab is the least labor-saving, where the stab will get stuck, how to draw the best gun?......
Finding the answers to these questions requires real practical feelings, others can't tell you, and even if you say it, it's useless, and even killing animals can't replace the feeling of killing people. The same is true of marksmanship, as well as sword, swordsmanship, and fist skills, all of which require this kind of exploration in order to change from martial arts to killing skills. But this method is so bloody and cruel that it is no wonder that the ancients said, 'One will make ten thousand bones dry'!
I saw Liu Jizu keep poking and stabbing and sweeping, every time he stabbed the enemy and pulled out the iron spear, it was a puff of blood flowers, the blood flowers had not yet landed, and the second puff of blood flowers had bloomed again.
At the beginning, those people could still swing a few knives at Liu Jizu, and then Liu Jizu unilaterally slaughtered them, just a matter of a few minutes, those who were not shot by arrows on the road ahead, except for a few people with eyesight who ran away when they saw the situation was not good, the rest were all stabbed to death by Liu Jizu. This time is still because Liu Jizu is intentionally experiencing marksmanship, and it takes more time, otherwise the speed will be faster.
When the one who took the lead saw this, he was already frightened, and he hurriedly turned on his horse, almost fell off his horse, and then turned his horse's head to run back.
But as soon as Liu Jizu urged the horse with his legs, the person came behind him, and as soon as the gun was handed over, it stabbed straight from the back of the man's heart to his chest, and the gun fell to the ground. Liu Jizu didn't hesitate for a moment, turned his horse's head and ran towards the back road, he wanted to hurry up to help Wu Lun and Elder Long.
