Chapter 1: The Beginning of the War
Xu Guohongcheng, in the martial arts training field of the General's Mansion, three dart shadows shot out, respectively hitting the forehead of the wooden man outside the three zhang and the double target mark, and entered the wood for three points.
"Not bad!" General Xu looked at the girl in front of him lovingly.
The girl is about twenty-seven years old, and she has played a fist and foot and swordsmanship before practicing darts, and there are beads of sweat hanging on her forehead at this moment.
"Father, I feel like I've started my dart practice so far, but although I practiced my fist and foot swordsmanship a few years earlier than my dart practice, I still don't feel smooth. ”
"You like to hit stones, and the dart technique is taught by the master, so the natural dart method is earlier than the fist and foot swordsmanship I taught you. ”
"Well, but my father allowed me to start practicing martial arts at the age of five, and my body is still doing well. ”
The girl's name is Xu He, and her mother is the second wife of General Xu, who died of dystocia and early birth when she gave birth to her, so her father took special care of her. When she was five years old, she proposed to practice martial arts with her brother, and she agreed, but General Xu's fists, feet and weapons were not in the stream, except for teaching some routines, the experience could only be understood by these children themselves. After practicing over the years, several routines are also familiar, but it is not smooth when it comes to actual combat.
When Xu He was nine years old, she was playing with stones outside the city, and met a strange man who looked like a beggar crooked under the tree behind the temple, and there were blood stains oozing from his legs from time to time, so he gave the strange man the medicine that her father gave her, and bandaged it according to the strange man's requirements, but let her learn some simple ways to deal with wounds.
The beggar-like person has been cultivating in the temple for several days, she is curious to take her father's wound medicine every day to see this strange man, by the way to buy some food for the strange man, knowing that this strange man is actually a ranger, from Lu to Xu travel, when the wolves escaped, he fell down, his medicine ran out, he rested here and was about to go into the city to buy medicine, and met Xu He.
The strange man said that Xu He's stone throwing was very accurate, and took out three bronze darts from his baggage, gave them to Xu He, and taught her some practice skills and experiences. Until the strange man said goodbye, seeing that the little girl had mastered the method of playing darts, told the little girl that she originally had nine darts, and when she escaped from the wolves, six darts were lost, and asked her to practice diligently, at least until she hit three targets at the same time.
Now Xu He can basically meet this requirement, and he has created six copper darts, nine out of ten, and has his own experience in playing darts, and has a first glimpse of the hidden weapon.
Leaving the martial arts training ground, the maid Tao'er was already waiting outside with a food box, and hurriedly wiped the sweat of the young lady, took the young lady to the boudoir, and put it on the breakfast. It is one lo mein, one pickle, one scrambled egg, and three bowls of rice. Xu He wolfed down breakfast and was cleaning up his mood, when the voice of the second brother Xu Hu came from outside the door: "Father, it's not good, Wu Guo has started a war against us." ”
Xu He hurriedly ran out, and saw that the second brother who was bloodied was going to the main room with his father, followed by Sanniang Wang, Siniang Liu, and Wuniang You, and hurriedly followed. The sister-in-law went to Lu Guo's mother's house in confinement, and the second sister-in-law has not passed the door yet, or it will be more chaotic.
Entering the main hall, the eldest lady Huang was at the door, and said to Xu He in a panic: "San'er, close the door, don't let people in." ”
Xu He closed the door, whispered a few hello to his mother, and stood aside to listen.
"Yesterday Wu launched an attack on our country, my eldest brother has been killed in battle, I finally ran out, and I saw my country's scouts in Jinshui County, sixty miles away from the city, and I signed up to borrow the scout's horse before running back. It seems that this is a long-term plan by Wu Guo, and our beacon towers have been sneak attacked, and the news has not come out. Xu Hu said with a trembling voice.
"How many people did they come, who commanded them, and where did they hit?" General Xu asked eagerly.
"They attacked suddenly, at least a large army of 200,000 people attacked, look at the banner has Sun Qi, a famous general of Wu State," After rectifying it, Xu Hu continued: "Now it should be hit to Tianchang County." ”
"Tianchang County is only more than 100 miles away from here, and they will be able to fight here tomorrow, quickly, beat the drums and gather the generals. ”
