Chapter 76 The Power of Riding and Archery
It is covered with snow in winter, and the weather has turned and it is even colder.
The ragged people were trembling in the wind and snow. Li Chongjiu's "Cangtou Army" braved the wind and snow to trek on the official road.
When I passed by a village, the sound of chickens and dogs was gone and the silence was extremely quiet. I sent someone to search, but I found that nine out of ten rooms were empty, all of which were abandoned, the houses collapsed, and the traces of burned were all broken. Although I had expected it, I didn't expect that this area of Jiang County was a more desolate scene than that of Hedong County.
Wang Mazi in Hedong only carried ten thousand people, but Chai Baochang heard the news for more than ten days, and had gathered 100,000 people to attack Zhengping County, the capital of Jiang County.
The news is still interrupted, and I don’t know if Zhengping County has been captured.
Li Chongjiu rode his horse on the road and wanted to find out the news about Chai Baochang's army at the moment, but he found nothing except finding a few old people who were not speaking easily. Even the people sent to Chai Baochang to deliver messages were not available for the time being.
Seeing this situation, after Li Chongjiu, Sun Erniang, Lin Dangfeng and several caravan managers discussed, they all felt that Chai Baochang was busy besieging the county town, so they were unable to take care of them, and just took this opportunity to speed up the marching. Otherwise, once Chai Baochang captured the county town, it would be difficult for them to escape.
So everyone reached an agreement to speed up the progress, but only by speeding up, the elderly, weak, women and children at the end of the team were already overwhelmed. Everyone couldn't help but slow down.
On the second day of this, conflicts and conflicts broke out in the caravan broke out. Several managers jointly put pressure on Li Chongjiu, demanding that the refugee team be abandoned and the young and strong go first.
But this was rejected by Li Chongjiu and Sun Erniang. The reason was very simple. If you don’t bring refugees, Li Chongjiu’s team would first be divided. Those young and strong among refugees would definitely return to take care of their families.
The situation changed on the third day of such a noisy and noisy situation. On the official road, many unknown raccoons suddenly appeared. These raccoons tied with red scarves and kept coming to the caravan to inquire. Some of the brave even forced them to approach the near hundred steps and inquire carefully.
This is definitely the outpost of the thief. He came to find out the truth and the caravans were all panicked and asked Li Chongjiu again to see if there were any other strategies.
Li Chongjiu thought for a moment and immediately took ten escorts from the escort agency to the north to inquire.
It was snowing heavily, and Li Chongjiu rode his horse in the snow, and there were still no people in Jiangjun. Aside from them, the red scarf roar who had been following the caravan, and after seeing Li Chongjiu and others riding horses away from the caravan, they all followed from a distance.
At first, the Red Turban Rangers had only five or six people, and then they followed more and more, and they looked like they were fifteen or sixteen.
Li Chongjiu knew it in his heart. No matter these rovers, he continued to go north for about five or six miles, and suddenly found that blue smoke rose in the distance.
Immediately, Li Chongjiu led his men to the place where the green smoke was ignited, and passed through a dense forest. As a result, a man was burying a pot to make rice on the edge of a big river.
Seeing that the other party had a large number of people, the stadiumers were all secretly shocked.
Li Chongjiu immediately ordered the escort to walk along the river and inquire about the other party's background. After a rough check, he found that there were at least one thousand people on the other party.
There were many old and weak among them, and the weapons were not complete. Many people still used wooden sticks, hoes, etc., but there was no doubt that the other party was a "regular army" among a bandit. At least they did not take women and children like Li Chongjiu.
Not long after, the bandits on the river bank also found that Li Chongjiu was watching their movements. At that moment, hundreds of bandits abandoned the pot, held swords, guns, and sticks, and shouted at Li Chongjiu and the others across the river bank, intimidating them.
These people also had red scarves on their heads, obviously they were in the same group as Ranger.
The river is blocked by the river. If they wade by water and are not washed away by the turbulent flow, they will freeze to death in the river. Li Chongjiu did not care at all and continued to watch and check the other party's reality.
The troopers on the side were so calm when they saw the young troopers so calm. They all admired the other side's army of thousands of people. When these red scarves saw that Li Chongjiu and the others did not leave, they were furious and took arrows to shoot by the river. However, what good bows can the troopers have? Needless to mention the three stone bows, there are not even the standard bows in the army. Most of them are bamboo wooden bows used for hunting. The arrows are weak and they fell into the river before they crossed the river. At this time, Li Chongjiu saw that the red scarves were approaching him less than 500 steps, and the number of the other side also increased to more than twenty cavalry. It was obvious that they had joined their companions and were preparing to clean up Li Chongjiu and the others on the riverside.
Li Chongjiu smiled and took out his three stone bow, which was obviously a decision to fight. Seeing that there were few people on his side, the escorts originally planned to retreat, but when Li Chongjiu decided to take action, they had to support him from the side, and they all took out their own riding bows.
After hesitating for a while, these red scarfed raccoons seemed to feel that there were many people on their side, so they decided to take action together. At that moment, the war horses were snorting, and the red scarfed raccoons began to drive the horses together, holding bows and arrows toward Li Chongjiu and the others.
The Red Thiefs on the other side of the river were all shocked when they saw their cavalry taking action, and began to shout loudly. After all, those who can be used as cavalry are the elite among the bandits, so they are very confident about the bandits on their river bank.
Li Chongjiu calmly set off his bow and arrow, and the red scarf cavalry ran together. He was as fast as thunder, and in a blink of an eye, it was less than 300 steps.
When the stunners saw Li Chongjiu's disregard for his disregard, they were all thrust in their hearts, and many of them were aiming at him.
Two hundred steps!
Everyone's hearts were beating very fast, and the horse seemed to sense the owner's uneasiness, but it also began to throw the ground.
One hundred steps!
The Ranger also started to take arrows, preparing to approach fifty steps, and then cover the arrow feathers. When drawing swords, they definitely have the advantage in the number of people.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of arrow feathers breaking through the air, and the war horse neighed a long time.
I saw Li Chongjiu hanging his arm with a bow. A man, a bow could actually shoot a waterfall rain!
The bowstring collapses and the arrow breaks out like lightning.
Li Chongjiu's first arrow penetrated the neck of the game, causing a burst of blood. The second arrow penetrated straight through the eye socket of a thief. The third arrow, the fourth arrow fell down when the strings were met. The fifth arrow, and the sixth arrow penetrated straight through the throat.
Li Chongji plucked his five fingers, like playing music, playing a sound of death on the bowstring.
In the blink of an eye, a bead arrow came out with one hand, and the Red Turban Ride was actually shot and killed by him in one breath.
Seeing this terrifying arrow skill, all the Red Turban Rangers were frightened. "This thief is good at archery!"
"They deliberately lure us to attack!"
"I've fallen into the trap!"
The Red Turban Rangers were all shocked. Under Li Chongjiu's magical arrow, everyone stopped their horses and turned around and left.
Seeing this, Li Chongjiu said, "If you attack with a strong force, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you turn around and leave, you will have a dead end."
As Li Chongjiu spoke, his hands kept passing by three arrows, passing by behind the three racists.
"Kill them all, don't let them go!" Li Chongjiu shouted and chased after him immediately. At this moment, the escorts all suddenly realized that they were all shocked by Li Chongjiu's magical archery skills, and had not yet shot an arrow. "Young escort head, this archery skills..."
"What are you doing while standing there? Haven't you heard the young master say? Don't let anyone go!"
“Yes, yes.”
While speaking, the studies immediately drove the horses to follow.
The thousands of thieves on the side of the river bank were stunned and no one spoke for a while.
The river surface was silent, and only the gurgling sound of the river was left.
Chapter completed!
