Chapter 10: Xilin Guarding (Part 2)
Liu Longxian could not do anything, and what Sun Xiurong said made him unable to refute. He couldn't help but be angry: "This kid is really lucky. Although the Nangong tribe is a small part, its chief is a young woman. What's more excessive is that this woman is the adorable daughter of Princess Jiaohe. The descendant of this Khitan dog thief married a princess for nothing, and he became a county horse in a noble way. You think you're angry!"
"But this guy is a governor or a county horse. I can't stand it in terms of official rank or honor. Well, I have to endure it now."
Then he asked, "How many days will the Junma be here?"
Sun Xiurong smiled and said, "I saw the beautiful mountains and rivers here, and I was going to stay for a few more days. It happened that Sahalian, the leader of the Nangong Division, was very hospitable, and I'm afraid he would not leave in ten days."
At this time, Sahalian happened to be next to Sun Xiurong. Liu Longxian didn't dare to do anything to Sun Xiurong, so he had to glar at Sahalian fiercely.
Sun Xiurong continued, "I heard that you are very skilled in martial arts, and I am also the top name of the two towns of Shule. It is said that it is not easy for you and me to meet each other. But by chance, we met today, so why not have a chance to have a conversation?
Liu Longxian was very happy to hear this. In his opinion, the young men in the Jump Camp had a high martial arts skills, but they were all dolls who had never been to the battlefield or killed people. They had never seen Zhen Zhang. He also saw the top name of the Beiting Jump Camp. The man was tall and powerful and very skilled in martial arts. However, according to his estimate, he could win him in twenty rounds.
He also saw Ma Lin, the first name of Kucha Town, first served as an amateur for Gai Jiayun. After Gai Jiayun left, he transferred to Cheng Qianli to serve as an amateur for him. He once brought people to Xilin to guard and inspect. Liu Longxian had fought with him, but both sides were unbeaten. However, Liu Longxian believed that he was humble in view of Cheng Qianli's face. If he had done his best, Ma Lin would not have been able to survive for fifty rounds under him.
"The boy from the dance camp is mostly arrogant. As long as I agree to him and then win him, he will probably leave immediately when he is angry. Then he will slowly settle the score with Sahalian. He originally wanted to marry his sister. Since he was hooked up with Sun Xiurong, he obviously looked down on me, killed him, and then kidnapped all his property, wives and concubines to vent my hatred!"
"Okay", Liu Longxian also smiled, "Then it's better to obey your orders than respect."
At present, although Sun Xiurong's young soldiers and Saha Company's personal guards surrounded Liu Longxian's 100 cavalry in the middle, the distance between Sun Xiurong and Liu Longxian was about fifteen feet, which was enough for the two to fight.
Sun Xiurong naturally had some considerations when he thought of fighting with Liu Longxian.
After Bian Lingcheng came back, he did not ask him for the peach blossom stone. In the six months when Bian Lingcheng was away, Sun Xiurong clearly felt that his physical strength, sensitivity, and strength had increased. He didn't know if it was the effect of the peach blossom stone, or his natural reaction as he gradually grew older.
In that half a year, he and the mansion soldiers who had made crossbows in Chang'an Armamentary Secretariat made a cavalry crossbow that could be used on horseback. It was a single crossbow, but it was only one stone and only one and a half feet long. It could be wound on the string by pulling it with one hand. The most important thing is that the tooth machine that stuck the string was modified. When the crossbow string was stuck at the tooth machine, if the hanging knife (the trigger of the crossbow) was not pulled, the bow string would be fixed on the tooth machine. When the trigger was pulled, the tooth machine would loosen at the same time and the crossbow arrow shot out.
Of course, before pulling the hanging knife, you need to move a small device near the tooth machine. Otherwise, if you accidentally pull the hanging knife, wouldn’t it be a mistake to hurt your colleagues?
Only ten such single crossbows were made with one stone, and Sun Xiurong had one by himself.
In his mind, such crossbows are the perfect replacement for Bai Xiaode's "double iron spear" and Ma Lin's "meteor hammer". As long as they are trained sufficiently, they can fully play the role of short guns in later generations on cavalry.
In this era, all those who can skillfully activate a horn bow with a stone skill are strong men with a range of more than 100 meters. At least in the present, few people have used him in cavalry, but Sun Xiurong is very confident to bring it to the extreme.
Since Liu Longxian showed his skills in the future Anshi Rebellion, he must have had some tricks. He was nearly thirty years old and was the peak moment of a man's strength and sensitivity. As a person with great ambitions, although his attainment in tiger spear reached the pinnacle, he was unwilling to fight Liu Longxian immediately in close combat.
"Dadada..."
Liu Longxian also saw the short crossbow on Sun Xiurong. As a melee master who comes from the folk and has rich experience in fighting or formal combat, he will not ignore any possible accidents. In his opinion, if Sun Xiurong picks up the short crossbow and shoots him, he will definitely have enough time to remove the three-stone powerful bow behind him and shoot an arrow before the strings on the opposite side.
I saw the short crossbow hanging on Sun Xiurong's left. At this time, both sides were riding their horses and running backwards to start a sprint at the farthest distance.
After a while, both sides turned around!
The difference between the two sides seemed to be, both holding reins in one hand and long poles in the other. Liu Longxian's mace was naturally not pure iron. Such things were too heavy, but were densely packed with iron nails on the wood. There was a spearhead of about half a foot at the front of the mace. Such weapons can not only hit but also stab. Once they hit the enemy, multiple blood holes will appear. If they hit the head, whether it is the top of the head or the face, even the Daluo God will not be saved.
Therefore, such weapons are not as sharp as immediate weapons, but more powerful than real combat power.
But Liu Longxian is one of the few generals who have strong deterrence and combat power to unify their strength.
When he was in Yingzhou, there were many Koreans, Khitans, Xi people, and Han people who died under him. People gave him a nickname "Immortals Don't Save", which means that after being injured by Liu Longxian's mace, the god shook his head and sighed, unable to save him.
Liu Longxian usually ordered the tooth soldiers to grind the iron nails on the mace to shine brightly in order to shock the enemy. However, Sun Xiurong on the opposite side seemed to care. His tiger gun blade was also bright and sharp, and the barbs that extended diagonally at the end of the blade also shone with a cold light.
Five zhang!
At this distance, if it were placed in the past, the fighting spirit of both sides would reach the highest, and the next blow would be a shocking blow!
But at this time, Sun Xiurong raised the short crossbow beside him with his left hand!
"How could it be..."
Liu Longxian was shocked. Just now, the short crossbow had not left in his eyes, and he had not seen him pulling the strings and placing arrows?!
"call out……"
The arrow branches that had been well-raised snatched the strings. At this time, as the fans of both sides held their breath, the "bang bang" sound of the crossbow string returning to its original state, and the soft roar of the crossbow arrows cutting through the air were clearly visible.
After shooting this arrow, Sun Xiurong stabbed the Fire Dragon Horse with the barb on his right horse boot, and at the same time he clamped his legs. The Fire Dragon Horse suddenly galloped forward in pain!
A distance of only five feet is still a short crossbow. If Sun Xiurong gave the enemy a chance to hide at this distance, he would not have won the first place in the jumping camp. The crossbow arrow hit Liu Longxian in the chest!
As mentioned earlier, in order not to make his "bride wedding" activity less abrupt, Liu Longxian moved to the big tent of the Gongyue Ministry, and changed into a civil servant robe. However, he was cautious by nature and added a very light and convenient chain mail to the robe, and a half-body chain mail.
But at such a close distance, even if there is a chain mail, it would be useless. The conical arrow of the crossbow arrow broke through the tiny iron ring of the chain mail and penetrated deep into the body.
"ah!"
The severe pain made Liu Longxian shout for the first time in his life, and it made him almost unable to hold the twelve pound mace!
The severe pain also caused his brain to become very dizzy. At this time, a cold light suddenly appeared in front of him. When he realized that it was the light reflected by the opponent's weapon, it was too late.
Sun Xiurong was one foot long and one inch wide. The tiger gun blade with a clear blood groove had cut into Liu Longxian's thick neck with blue veins due to pain. Then, with the horse's driving, a big head was perfectly cut off!
"hiss……"
Sun Xiurong turned the horse's head again. At this time, he had already stabbed into the throat of Liu Longxian's head with a sharp blade. He galloped back while shouting something.
"call out……"
The two stone-powered single crossbow in the hands of two hundred young soldiers began to shoot!
Everything was in the flash of lightning. When Sun Xiurong returned to the brigade again, Liu Longxian's subordinates on the opposite side woke up at this time. However, they were already a little panicked under the attack of crossbow arrows. Sun Xiurong shouted at Saha next to him: "What are you waiting for!!!"
Sahalian's face turned pale, and finally rushed up with his three hundred elite cavalry.
The young soldiers of Geng Sidu had already taken back a single crossbow, each of whom had a spear in his hand and were waiting for the battle around him.
Liu Longxian's hundreds of men were indeed brave. After a brief panic, they immediately returned to normal. After the rain of arrows just now, only about fifty were left to fight, but they were still in line with the elite cavalry of the Saha Company.
Sun Xiurong turned around and looked at Li Jixun with a pale face, "Li Lang, can you come forward to fight?"
Li Jixun was frightened by the scene in front of him. He naturally knew that Sun Xiurong was brave, but killing friendly troops was a dignified guardian who was not expecting. Although Liu Longxian was notorious, he was the guardian who was registered in the Tang Dynasty.
Although he didn't know what Sun Xiurong was thinking, he now understood that he could only choose one of two, either rushing up to assist Saha in killing Liu Longxian's personal soldiers, or being executed by Sun Xiurong.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and rushed up with the young soldiers.
The joining of the young soldiers caused the situation on the field to change suddenly.
After about half an hour, the fight was finally over.
Liu Longxian's 100 personal soldiers were killed. Saha's family suffered about 100 cavalry to achieve this result. Sun Xiurong's young soldiers had only a few minor injuries.
Seeing this scene, Sun Xiurong's expression became solemn.
