Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1 Encounter

"Dole!" A feathered arrow flew through the air and nailed it to the cowhide round shield held high by Lu Huaizhong.

The power of the arrow was so great that after it shot through the cowhide wooden shield, it was castrated unabated.

Lu Huaizhong looked at the trembling tail feathers of the arrow, and a shocking spirit retreated to the back of the car, and said with lingering fear: "Good thief! The arrow is so accurate, why don't you come to join the army? I want to be a horse thief! Damn it!"

"Who told you to owe me ten big money last night?" A short and strong man spat, spit the grass stem he was chewing on the ground, and grinned at Lu Huaizhong, who was squatting in the back of the carriage. Said: "What's wrong with being a horse thief? You don't have to look at Sun Shi-general's dead face when you rob money, food, and women. If it wasn't for my parents and siblings in my hometown, I would be a horse thief too."

"Ren Yuji, do you want to be a horse thief as well? Shave your hair first."

Xu Shi was reminded of some bad memories by Lu Huaizhong's words, and the short and stout man's expression suddenly became gloomy: "Do you know that this is a party member?"

"You can smell their stinky smell from three miles away." Lu Huaizhong sneered, grabbed the arrow branch on the round shield, broke it with force, pointed to a place on it, and said, "Look, beg the party. Thieves! How could Li Shijun ever treat them badly and even rob them of military resources, damn it!"

The short and stout man Ren Yuji stopped talking, his right hand subconsciously rubbed the handle of the knife on his waist, and his eyes narrowed.

The moon in the sky is very round, it is as big as a disk, the color is like silver, and it shines on the earth, and the shadows are heavy.

Under such moonlight, it seems to be very convenient for the enemy to attack.Sure enough, after a few tentative rounds of arrows, a desolate trumpet sounded in the distance.Xuan Er, the thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded, this is the enemy's cavalry dispatched.

"Woo--" The sound of horn blowing sounded close at hand, and the two people who were bickering turned their heads to look, but saw a car not far away, someone who was stripped of clothes and armor and topless was already beating the drum hard.Beside him, several soldiers were blowing horns.

"Get up, form a formation!" The sound of drum horns was an order, and Shao Shude, who had a solemn expression on his face, came over immediately, one of them gave a kick, and said, "Just wait for the head to be cut off by the party members. "

"The leader of the team is here, order!" Lu Huaizhong laughed, but his movements were not slow at all.After hanging the round shield on the body, quickly take out the long gun on the car, and stand in the first row.

Ren Yuji didn't go to get the spear, but took off the bow at his waist, and looked at the arrows in the pot. Fortunately, there were thirty arrows, and he would give these party men a big surprise later.

More and more soldiers joined the array.Everyone did not speak, and the tacit understanding formed by training together for a long time has already made everyone know what they should do and what they should not do.

Above the battle formation, panic is the most avoidable, not only is it easy to kill yourself, but it will also affect others.Some stern generals, when encountering soldiers running around like headless flies, directly ordered their personal soldiers to take them down and beheaded them on the spot.

The first three rows were soon crowded with soldiers with long spears. Not only their team, but other teams were also prepared at about the same time.

Shao Shude untied the long-handled Modao from his back, checked that the lower recognition flag was still in place, then strode forward and stood in the first row.

Beside him is a big man like a black iron tower, dressed in iron armor, holding a big flag, and writing "Tian De Army West Shoujian City Sword and Axe General Sun".Seeing Shao Shude coming, he smiled shyly, revealing his white teeth.

Shao Shude also smiled at him, and then quickly checked his equipment.

The long gun is on the car, there is no need to take it.The leather armor is never removed, which is fine.The horizontal knife and the round shield are all present at the waist. I tried to put the knife in and out of the sheath, and everything was normal.The bow is also there, and the long arrows in the quiver are not lacking. There are three leather cords wrapped around the quiver, which are used to bind the prisoners. They are all there!The long-handled Mo Dao in his hand, just wiped, is waiting to drink the blood of Hulu.

Okay, let these thieves try the swordsmanship of our Tiande army!I haven't seen such an arrogant party tribe in many years. I won't be named Shao unless I teach you an unforgettable lesson this time!
The enemy's cavalry was getting closer and closer, and they could already be seen in the moonlight.

"Woo-" the horn sounded.Zheng Yong, who was holding the flag, shouted, tossed the flag to the ground, and then knelt on the ground halfway, staring straight ahead.Following his movements, the soldiers in the first two rows also knelt on the ground one after another, and raised their spears diagonally in front of them.

"Dong dong dong——" the drum sounded, and this time without anyone's orders, the three rows of soldiers behind took out their step bows in unison. After drawing the bow and nodding their arrows, they raised their bows at a 45-degree angle, let go of their hands, and the arrows pierced through the air.

At that time, the enemy cavalry was still more than a hundred paces away.At this time, the accuracy of archery was impressive. Except for a few unlucky people who were shot by arrows, most of them were unscathed. They just spread out a little and became less dense.

But then again, the projectile was not intended to kill the enemy. If it felt a little wrong at such a long distance, the arrow would not know where it went.Its role, to put it bluntly, is to disrupt the enemy's formation and weaken the enemy's morale.

"Dong, dong, dong——" The enemy army was within a hundred paces, and the drum sounded again.The archers drew their bows and arrows uniformly, this time it was still a projectile, but the angle was much smaller.Unlike last time, there were more enemies on the ground, obviously the distance was getting closer, and the accuracy and power of the arrows were greatly improved.

After Shao Shude finished shooting an arrow, he took out a long arrow from his waist, wound it, pulled the string, aimed, "whoosh" the long arrow broke through the air, and hit a party cavalry soldier in the chest like a god, and let him make a sound. He fell silently.

"The leader of the team shoots!" Lu Huaizhong saw it from the front, and immediately flattered: "Holding a strong bow with one stone and six fights, shooting with armor, and even hitting two arrows in a row, the team leader's shooting skills are really superb."

Ren Yuji rarely refuted, and a smile appeared on his always gloomy face.

Standing next to Shao Shude and watching him shoot the second arrow, Qian Shousu looked complicated. The two joined the army together. Shao Shude had already become the leader of the team because of his superb archery skills, and he was still a fire leader.Moreover, Shao Shude had arranged the relationship based on his relationship. Otherwise, he would still be an ordinary soldier, which would undoubtedly be a blow to him, who was cautious and arrogant.

But Shao Shude couldn't take his mood into account at this time, and saw that he once again drew a long arrow, calmly shot down a Hu Qi again, which aroused applause from the people around him.

Shao Shude had a smile on his face, a little contented.Perhaps it was the benefit of crossing over. He found that he was very talented in archery.

In ancient times, I dare not say that there are magical skills, but when holding a stone and six bucket bows and shooting with armor, the hit rate is higher. In the small-scale confrontation, there were many gains, and finally Sun Ba was promoted to the team leader to show his merit.

"Dong dong dong——" Thirty paces later, the sergeants took up their long bows again and shot a straight shot.

But at this time, there was also a "humming" sound from the enemy cavalry. No need to remind anyone. Everyone lowered their heads subconsciously and raised their round shields. This was the enemy cavalry shooting arrows.

Fortunately, the level of this group of Dang Xiang barbarians did not look very good. Except for a few people who were shot in the armless arm, the head, or screamed or groaned, the rest did not move.

"Tickle me." Lu Huaizhong looked down at the long arrow hanging diagonally on his leather armor, and grinned.This arrow is weak and weak, how can it be compared with Shao's head shot?It's drizzling.

"If you don't concentrate again, you won't care about scratching your tickling when the barbarians rush over." Shao Shude scolded with a smile.

The two spearmen standing behind him were originally pale, but they sneered after hearing it, not at all nervous about the upcoming battle.

"Woo--" The horn sounded, and Zheng Yong of the Black Iron Tower roared again, and suddenly raised the flag.

Following his movements, the three sergeants in the front swiftly stood up, holding guns in both hands, pointing forward.Behind them, the archers abandoned their bows and drew their knives. Some even took out hooked spears, long-handled axes or wooden sledges, eager to try.

It's not the first time to fight against these party barbarians. These people are poorly equipped and have average fighting will, so it's not difficult to deal with them, so everyone is full of confidence.

"Boom!" The party cavalry and the Tiande infantry collided head-on.The pikemen in the front three rows could not stand, and were knocked back at once, but they also succeeded in reducing the speed of the enemy cavalry, and the soldiers in the back rushed forward and greeted them with their weapons in their hands.

There were only a dozen or so cavalry rushing to Shao Shude's side. After the speed was slowed down, they immediately became the target of ravages by the infantry.

The hooker hooked the horse's legs skillfully, preventing it from rushing and galloping. The long-handled axemen knocked the cavalry off the horse, and the other soldiers holding round shields and horizontal knives swarmed up again, immediately killing the dismounted enemy. beheaded.

They used fire as a unit and cooperated skillfully. They killed four people in just a while, which made the party cavalrymen who were still fighting on the horse tremble.

"Open!" Shao Shude, holding a long-handled sword in both hands, knocked down a party cavalryman who was about to turn around and flee.

This man was wearing armor, and he was not dead for a while after he fell from the horse. Shao Shude was about to split again, but he saw Li Yixian and Saburo, who had been following him, rushed over like leopards.Li Yixian rushed in front, and the cowhide round shield slammed into the face of the party Xiang Manzi who was about to get up. Saburo held a horizontal knife and quickly slid into the gap of the man's armor, making him instantly accountable.

"The leader of the team, it's a thief!" Saburo said excitedly.

"Have fun, kill the enemy!" Shao Shude waved his sword and found another target.In this battle, I am invincible!

Since the barbarians of the beggars dare to rob military resources, they must have the consciousness to pay the price.The Tiande Army has held you back for decades, but it's not for nothing, just die!
