The Beggar Gang was founded in the last years of the Tang Dynasty and has been nearly a thousand years old. Among the leaders of the beggar gang in the past generations, there are many people who have joined the beggar gang with stunts and become the gang leader. It's just that later, it is often the unique martial arts passed down from generation to generation by the beggars and gang leaders who become famous in the rivers and lakes. The martial arts of the beggar gang leader are masculine, and they become stronger when they are strong. When Deng Yao took over as the leader of the gang, the beggar gang was suppressed by the imperial court, and it had already weakened, and it had lost the demeanor of the largest gang in the rivers and lakes in the past. In the last years of the Mengyuan Dynasty, the leader of the beggar gang at that time was regarded as a thorn in the side of the Mengyuan court and Zhu Yuanzhang, who intended to seize the world, because of his alliance with Chen Youliang, and finally died in an assassination.

In that assassination, in addition to the leader of the beggar gang, the three eight-bag elders and more than ten beggar gang masters who were traveling with him were also killed. The two most powerful martial arts of the Beggar Gang were lost. Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the martial arts of the beggar gang leaders have plummeted, and they can no longer keep pace with the heads of Shaolin, Wudang, Huashan and other factions. As for which faction was responsible for intercepting and killing the leader of the beggar gang, it has never been clarified. It's just that when the leader of the beggar gang was attacked, it happened to be before Chen Youliang's army and Zhu Yuanzhang's forces were preparing for a decisive battle at Poyang Lake. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that it was Zhu Yuanzhang's order to kill the leader of the beggar gang. Moreover, since this battle, the three masters of "Kang, Liang, and Feng", who were originally famous in Zhu Yuanzhang's army and have strong martial arts, disappeared and disappeared from the rivers and lakes. It is a legend among people in the martial arts that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered these three masters to lead people to attack and kill the leader of the beggar gang that day. It's just that the leader of the beggar gang has strong martial arts, and although he died in assassination, he also killed all three masters.

After Deng Yao succeeded as the leader of the gang, he was bent on reviving the prestige of the beggar gang. It's just that the beggars' stunts have been lost, and they have been suppressed by the imperial court, and every step is extremely difficult. Despite this, Deng Yao was still indomitable, and even did not hesitate to compromise and cooperate with the court bigwigs. His hard work was not in vain, and the imperial court relaxed the suppression of the beggar gang, so that the beggar gang was located in the southeast corner and slowly extended to the north.

It's just that although the power of the beggar gang has recovered, the martial arts handed down by the gang leaders of the past generations can never be recovered. Deng Yao took a lot of effort in this matter, thinking that if he wanted to be the first person in the beggar gang for more than a hundred years, it was not enough to expand the power of the beggar gang to the north. He also went into retreat for two years, wanting to create a powerful martial art. It's just that his talent is limited, and although he has worked hard, he still achieved nothing in the end.

However, this effort is not useless, Deng Yao's martial arts have made great progress, and he has also walked a fierce and unrestrained path, although the internal strength and mental method are completely different from the lost beggar gang martial arts, but at first glance, it looks a little similar. It is because Deng Yao's reputation in the rivers and lakes is becoming more and more obvious, and the beggars and gangs respect him very much.

At this time, seeing that the silver light was amazing, Deng Yao tried his best to smash the silver light down with the stick in his hand.

I only heard a "bang", and the stick struck with the silver light. Deng Yao only felt that the tiger's mouth shook violently, and the wooden stick could no longer be handled, and flew out with a "whew". The silver light was hit by Deng Yao's wooden stick, and it originally flew towards his face, but at this time, it was slightly half a point lower and shot straight towards his chest.

Deng Yao didn't expect that the power of this attack was so great, and after the wooden stick in his hand was taken off, he was startled, and then he wanted to dodge the silver light that shot towards his chest, but it was too late. His heart was sour, and he secretly thought: "I worked hard, but I didn't expect such an end." ”

It was too late to say that it was too soon, just as he closed his eyes and waited for death. A sword light flashed and slashed at the top of the silver light. Hearing a sharp sound, the sword light suddenly disappeared, and the silver light was blocked by the sword light, and the momentum declined, and it fell to the ground with a "snap".

Deng Yao escaped death, and he was surprised and happy in his heart, but he saw Murong Danyan standing beside him, holding a sword in his right hand. It's just that her right hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and her face was full of horror.

It turned out that Deng Yao was in distress, and when the wooden stick in his hand was shaken away, Murong Danyan happened to be standing beside him. Seeing that the silver light hit Deng Yao's chest, he hurriedly used his long sword to block Deng Yao.

In terms of martial arts, Murong Danyan is far inferior to Deng Yao. But after all, she was born in Murong Villa and has extraordinary knowledge. If it were someone else, he would not have time to think about it between the lightning and flint, and he would naturally use the blade in his hand to smash the attacking silver light. It's just that Murong Danyan had thought before he made a move, this silver light was fierce, and with Deng Yao's martial arts, the wooden stick in his hand was still shocked by this silver light. If he used his long sword to smash the silver light, first, he could not guarantee that he would shoot it down, and if it was a few points lower, it would still hit Deng Yao. The second is that even if he relied on the sharpness of his long sword and cut off this silver light, the front end of it would still shoot into Deng Yao's body. When she took out her sword to shield Deng Yao, she had already calculated very clearly in her heart. She used the blade of her sword to block the incoming silver light, not the blade of her sword to cut through the most powerful hidden weapon.

Rao is like this, when the long sword in her hand collided with the silver light, she only felt a strong surge on the silver light, her right arm shook violently, and the long sword was almost unable to hold it. When the silver light was shaken to the ground, Murong Danyan only felt that his right arm was sore, and he couldn't help but hang down. She didn't expect this secret weapon to be so powerful, she was terrified in her heart, and her face changed greatly.

Deng Yao walked a few steps quickly, picked up the wooden stick that was thrown aside, turned to Murong Danyan and said, "Girl, thank you for saving the life of the old man Huazi......

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a "woo", and another silver light shot from the stone wall behind everyone.

Just now, everyone saw that Deng Yao was forced to be embarrassed by the silver light, and almost died on the spot. And the long sword in Murong Danyan's hand is like a flood of autumn water, everyone is a big expert in the rivers and lakes, and at a glance, they know that this is a rare sword. With the sharpness of this sword, it was so reluctant to fight against that silver light. Everyone was frightened, and they all knew that this silver light was extremely powerful, and if one was accidentally shot by it, there was no reason to escape. Seeing another silver light shooting over, Liu Yong shouted loudly: "Everyone dodge, don't block hard!"

Before he finished speaking, the heroes showed their magic powers, and they all avoided the silver light. The silver light passed through the crowd, and in an instant it flew somewhere.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but just a moment later, two silver lights flew from the left and right sides at the same time, making a "woo" sound, and attacked everyone. The crowd flickered and moved, and avoided the two silver rays of light.

After that, silver light continued to shoot from all directions, from the front, back, left, right, and left. It's just that everyone is on guard, just blindly dodging, and not using the blade in their hands to block hard, because although these silver lights are powerful, they can no longer hurt everyone.

After seven rounds of shooting, no silver light shot at Qunhao. The crowd still didn't dare to hold it up, and stood on the ground intently, looking around vigilantly.

Deng Yao was shocked for a moment, and scolded in his mouth: "What the hell is this, why is it so powerful?"

Li Qiufeng leaned over to carefully look at the silver light shot down by Murong Danyan, and found that the silver light turned out to be a long arrow. It's just that this arrow is different from the feathered arrows that were shot before, almost four feet long, the arrow is sharp, and the cold light shines. The tail of the arrow is slightly thicker, but it is not equipped with feathers. The body of the arrow is several times thicker than the feather arrow, and it is engraved with blood grooves. It was no longer like a feathered arrow, but like a short spear. If you shoot someone, you will surely die.

Everyone looked at this strangely shaped arrow, and everyone was terrified. Deng Yao was even more frightened, cold sweat was oozing from his forehead, and he muttered: "Fuck, if this arrow is shot at the body of the old man Hanako, I'm afraid that I have already seen the king of Hades at this time." ”

Situ Qiao said: "It's always called Huazi, your life is really hard enough." If any of us are hit by this arrow, we will not survive. ”

Deng Yao didn't sneer at each other this time, and said in a deep voice: "I always call Huazi cheap, and Lord Yan doesn't want to accept it." After he finished speaking, he glanced at Murong Danyan, his eyes full of gratitude.

Murong Danyan didn't pay attention to Deng Yao's gaze, but kept looking at Li Qiufeng, who was carefully examining the arrow. She saw Li Qiufeng frowning and puzzled, so she asked, "Brother Li, do you also think that this arrow is very powerful?"

"It's not an arrow. ”

Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice. Everyone was stunned, although the tail end of this thing was not decorated with feathers, and it was much thicker than the feather arrow, but it was indeed shot from all sides, how could it not be an arrow?

Li Qiufeng knew that everyone was puzzled, and then said, "This thing is called a crossbow. Although it has always been referred to as a bow and crossbow along with arrows, the two are completely different. Arrows are fired with bows, while crossbows are fired with crossbow machines, which are far more sophisticated than bows and arrows. In terms of accuracy, a crossbow is also stronger than a bow and arrow. However, there are also two types of crossbows, one is a small crossbow, which is suitable for close combat, and the crossbow machine is much smaller than the bow, which is easy to carry. The other is a large crossbow, which is used on battle formations and has a range of up to 2,000 paces. The crossbow we see today is a large crossbow, which is why it is so powerful. ”

Liu Yong said: "There are also people in the rivers and lakes who use the crossbow as a secret weapon, but it is completely different from this crossbow. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "Many masters in the Jinyi Guard carry crossbow machines to kill people, which is indeed extremely powerful. The crossbow machine that fires this large crossbow is very sophisticated and laborious to build. It is rumored that the crossbow was created by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms, when the Cao Wei cavalry dominated the world, and the soldiers were unstoppable. The Han army was dominated by infantry troops, and to resist the charge of Cao Wei's cavalry was tantamount to a fool's dream. Zhuge Liang was talented and intelligent, and in order to restrain Cao Wei's cavalry, he thought of many ways. One is to use a spear array to block the attack, but once the first line of defense is broken by Cao Wei's cavalry, the formation will be scattered, which is not a good method. The second is to intercept with bows and arrows. However, before the Cao Wei cavalry attacked, the Wei infantry would also use bows and arrows to help the cavalry, and the Han army could not take too much advantage of bows and arrows. The Cao Wei cavalry took advantage of the situation to attack, and the Han army had to be defeated. Zhuge Liang pondered the technique of cracking, and was inspired by the crossbow machine in the Warring States Period, and created a strong crossbow for battle arrays. This kind of powerful crossbow can be loaded with ten crossbow arrows at a time, and it can be fired in turns, and those who are within 100 steps will die instantly. After the Han army was equipped, when Cao Wei's cavalry charged, countless people died under the strong crossbows. Although Cao Wei's army and horses were strong, they always couldn't get along with the Han army. Later, when he saw Zhuge Liang's army, he defended more and attacked less, but he couldn't crack the strong crossbow. The most famous person killed by this powerful crossbow was Zhang He, the general of Cao Wei. In the first battle of Mumendao, Zhang He fell into Zhuge Liang's ambush and fell into a heavy siege. At that time, the five tiger generals of the Han army, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Xu Huang and other famous generals among the five sons of Cao Wei had passed away, and Zhang He was the only remaining famous general in the two countries. Although he is old, he is not as brave as when he was young, but he is also fierce and abnormal. Although the Han army surrounded him, they were unable to capture him. In the end, he used this strong crossbow to shoot Zhang He, a generation of famous generals, and fell. ”
