Shu Chen

Chapter 333 Chase

"When a man is born in the world, when he is strong, he should seek the merits of conquest and ask for the title of Marquis! Can you keep the old hills, ask for the fields, and ask for the evil?"

This is what Zhang Te's elder father said when he left his hometown and came all the way to vote for a great man and bid farewell to his parents and patriarchs.Partly to encourage him, and partly to scold other family members for not holding hands and crying goodbye.

Zhang Te has always kept it in mind.

But today he intends to forget it for the time being.

The ambition to make contributions and the pride of begging to be a marquis gradually disappeared in the process of Baoze's constant fall from the horse, which made his eyes crack and made him feel inexplicably guilty.

Originally, they would not run into two groups of Wei Jun scouts in a row.

The task of spying in the army is only to go east to within a hundred miles of Piao County, but this time he has been taking his subordinates to the east for 180 miles on a daily basis, in order to get more information and decapitation.

Because the reward for beheading the enemy's scouts is very high, and it will be even higher if they can return alive.

He is not greedy for those possessions.

However, the scouts under his command could not hold back their desire and persuasion for rewards: "Lieutenant, we are all vulgar people. What we want is to make our family have enough food and clothing. Although since joining the army, the court has never been short of our salary, but Now that all counties and counties in Liangzhou have set up schools, we want to spend more rewards to make up enough money to study and buy pens and inks, etc., so that the children in the family can be proficient in writing and ink in the future, so that we will not be despised like us all the year round."

Moreover, they also agreed that no matter who shoots or captures the scouts alive, the rewards will be shared equally by everyone; if anyone unfortunately loses the battle, he will get half of the accumulated rewards alone.

Zhang Te, who first came to the Hexi Corridor, could not refuse the expectations of his parents for their children.

Or to put it another way, with the heart of expelling the barbarians, making contributions, and at the time of his youthful vigor, he also had some vague expectations for such a bold and risky venture by a master of arts.

At first, they were like ducks to water.

Relying on his superb riding and archery skills, for more than a month, every time he went out, he returned with gains.

However, if you often walk by the river, why not get your shoes wet?
It's just that when things come to an end, it's useless to feel regretful.

Ugh.
I traveled thousands of miles to invest, but I was impulsive when it came to matters. After all, I still failed to live up to the expectations of my elders at home.

At this moment, Zhang Te could only sigh in disappointment.

Immediately, another sentence was added: It also failed the expectations of the military adviser.

He still remembered that when Zheng Pu asked his maternal uncle to accept his wife's dowry maid as a daughter and promise him to him, he said something like this: "Zichan is indeed a talented person! Therefore, I have the audacity to do this for my mother's family, but I hope In the future, the mother's family will be honored with the merits of childbirth."

Zheng Pu doesn't hide his organism.

It was precisely because of Zheng Pu's recommendation and good words that he, who had gained a reputation without making any achievements, had the opportunity to take over Zhang Bao's command and was later transferred to Hexi by the prime minister.

Forget it, don't think uselessly.

But I hope I can shoot and kill a few more thieves this time, so that the family members who died in Paoze can give more rewards.

Zhang Te, holding a strong bow, sat up straight on the horse, drew the bow and set the arrow without distraction, paused for a while, and then let go of the bowstring.

"Boom!"

There was a crackling sound from the two stone strong bows.

I saw an arrow adorned with wild goose feathers like flying feathers frightened, covered in sunlight and dim, and riding the breeze without moving, it was so fast that even the sound of the wind had no time to groan, rushing towards Wei, who was chasing after him. In the national scout formation.

The distance between the two sides was less than an arrow's distance, and with the support of the two stone bows, it was seen that the foreleg cavity of a scout in the forefront of Wei State was at least half pierced by an arrow of more than three feet.

It also made it let out a mournful cry in an instant. Under the pain, the person first stood up and then fell to the ground.

Not only did he throw the pawns on horseback far away, but he also tripped several cavalry behind who had no time to dodge.

Shoot people first shoot horses.

Not only because the horse's huge body is easier to shoot, but also because the horse will cause additional damage to the enemy when it falls to the ground.Zhang Te, who was born on the border of Youzhou, is no stranger to the common sense of riding and fighting.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

He has made great achievements with one arrow, his legs are firmly clamped on the horse's belly, regardless of the correct posture of the mount, he is more likely to be shot and frequently draws his bow.

It is rare to draw a bow when riding a horse galloping and bumping, but he can shoot left and right!

It can be seen from this that under the years of being plundered by the Wuhuan Hu captives of Xianbei, the bravery of the Han family in Youzhou is no less than that of the famous generals who came from the six counties.

Perhaps, it was Zhang Te who deliberately hung at the end of the team and frequently opened his bow to stimulate him.

The rest of the scouts of the Han army who were leaning over their horses also showed great courage, straightened their bodies one after another, and shot with their bows regardless of the oncoming crossbow arrows.

For a moment, I saw that the momentum of Wei Jun's scouts, who had been screaming wildly and chasing excitedly, was slightly frustrated.

Gai was already after noon, and the glare of the west made it difficult for them to aim, and the Han scouts were too few and the formation was too scattered, making it even more difficult for their crossbow arrows to make achievements.And their long line of pursuit formation, every time one rider hits an arrow, it often causes several riders to be knocked down.

Such a result made them angry.

Chasing and killing more than ten Han cavalry with the absolute advantage of more than a hundred cavalry, how could it be so embarrassing?
"Woo~~heh!"

"Woo~~~heh!"

The first to react was Liu Bao's subordinates, and the whistle of their charge roared out of their mouths.

He separated obliquely from the pursuers, lashed his horse's butt fiercely after riding his bow, kicked the horse's belly with his heels, tried his best to speed up the horse, intending to outflank it from the side.The urged horses sped up sharply, and their strong and powerful hooves fell fiercely, digging through the thin sand, filling the air with withered grass and dust, showing their master's determination to kill all the scouts of the Han army here.

Such a gallop, the horse will be exhausted after only forty or fifty miles.

After the war, it takes at least a month of recuperation before they can go to the battlefield again. Some war horses with poor physique may even hurt their heart and lungs because of this, and will be reduced to a poor horse for riding for the rest of their lives.

But the effect is remarkable.

The cavalry pawns of the Southern Huns thrusting out obliquely approached the scouts of the Han army slowly and firmly as time went by.

At least, their weak riding bows can already cause damage to the scouts of the Han army.

Two quarters of an hour passed by.

The quiver on Zhang Te's left side was empty, and there were only four or five arrows left in the quiver on the right side.

And the speed of his horse under his crotch also slowly decreased, because there was an arrow trembling triumphantly behind the horse's buttocks as it galloped forward.

But he was lucky.

The lack of bow strength of the cavalrymen of the Southern Huns and the poorly crafted arrows prevented the horses from crying and falling to the ground.

And the scouts of the Han army who were still driving alongside him now only had five cavalry left.

The unfavorable Wei Guo scouts suffered more losses, and more than twenty riders fell off their horses.

But still in pursuit.

This place is still more than ten miles away from the warning range of Sima Liu Zhu, the cavalry soldier of the Qiang Huying Battalion.If there is no accident, the distance of more than ten miles is enough to make them all be shot and killed by Wei Guo scouts.
