I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 10
"kill!"

As Liu Jian shot down a Xianbei man with an arrow, the servants behind him were so energetic that they all bent their bows and set up arrows, and followed Liu Jian to shoot at those Xianbei people.

Those who were able to accompany Liu Jian to meet Gongsun Zan at the order of the father-in-law were naturally not just ordinary followers.

Over the years, powerful and powerful people from all over the world have wantonly annexed land, hiding people, and keeping apprentices in captivity, forming manor-like lord forces one after another, and these manor-like lord forces are like circles, big traps and small circles, and small circles. They both confront and connect with each other, fundamentally eroding the country's population productivity and economic lifeline.

Although a middle-class family in Zhuo County like Liu Yuanqi cannot support a self-sufficient manor force, it is still no problem to keep some housekeepers and guards in captivity, and diners who are good at fighting and fighting are not a problem. There are three thousand diners, but it is not a problem to raise thirty people with some skills.

These people chased with Liu Jian and shot Xianbei with arrows!

Shooting arrows on a horse has a very low hit rate, but this behavior can boost morale and suppress everyone's initial uncertainty.

Killing is only one aspect. The most important thing is momentum. No matter how accurate you are, without momentum, you won't last long. If you don't have the aim, but if you have enough fighting spirit, the lethality is only a matter of time.

As long as there are enough arrows, sooner or later, a few will be fooled.

Not long after, someone shot another arrow and hit a Xianbei man again. The other party yelled and then fell off the horse.

Shooting and killing two people in a row boosted the morale of one's side, and everyone shouted loudly!

"Shoot!"

"Shoot!
"Shoot!"

"wrong!!"

Shan Man, the leader of Xianbei Zhong, finally reacted, he yanked the rein of the horse violently, and stopped all the horsemen to stop the horse.

But because a group of people stopped their horses suddenly, another person was hit by an arrow in response. Although he didn't fall off the horse, he was also injured. He screamed in pain, but he didn't dare to pull out the arrow.

Han arrows are made with barbs, which are easy to shoot in, but you have to tear off the flesh to pull them out.

Shan Man turned his head to look behind, and said fiercely: "There are not many of them! Kill them before leaving!"

The sound of the horn, the light of the fire, and tricks may all be able to deceive the Xianbei people, but the Xianbei people have an advantage that the Han people do not have, and no one can expect to hide it.

That is to know the horse.

Liu Jian and the others didn't chase, and the Xianbei people didn't know the number of the opponent, but once they drove the horses to chase, the Xianbei people who had been with the horses all year round could know the number of the opponent only by listening to the hooves of the horses running behind them.

Even if he was panicking, the ability to listen to horses and recognize sounds on the grassland all year round would not be erased. For Xianbei, it was instinct.

"Chan Man, now is not the time to compete with the Han army! We have been delayed for too long, and we can't escape!" Fu Luo yelled at Shan Man.

Fuluo's words were indeed old-fashioned, but Shanman didn't appreciate it.

"If you want to run, you run first, I will kill those Han dogs chasing their tails first!"

Even if the opponent will follow up with infantry, Shan Man is confident that he will wipe out the knights who catch up first, and then flee on horseback.

After finishing speaking, Shan Man led his dozen or so riders to change course and kill towards the rear.

Fuluo stayed where he was, wanted to leave but dared not.

In case Shanman really succeeds and returns to Danhan Mountain in the future, in front of Helian, Shanman will definitely accuse himself of not fighting.

Liu Jian was chasing and shooting arrows, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong in front of him. The sound of horseshoes in front of him seemed to stop suddenly.

After a little thought, Liu Jian understood the other party's intentions.

He hastily reined in his horse and stood still, shouting loudly: "The thief is coming against the horse, you gentlemen, don't be timid, follow me around to meet the enemy, and wait for rescue!"

Fortunately, they are currently in a dense forest. The trees and grass branches in the forest can hinder Xianbei's heroic war horses to a certain extent, which is a good thing for these stragglers.

Even if Shan Man and the others turned around, they would not be able to gallop the horse with all their strength, which was very beneficial to Liu Jian and the others.

Han Qi immediately turned and fled in another direction.

While walking, Liu Jian did not forget to order everyone to shoot again in the direction of the Xianbei people with bows and arrows. Even if the hit rate is low, as long as they can stop the opponent's pace, it is enough!

Shan Man turned his head to chase, but found that the Han troops on the other side had turned their horses' heads. They not only changed their course, but also seemed to know that they wanted to seize the upper hand, so they could use a favorable angle to confront their own side.

"Han dog is cunning!"

Shan Man snorted coldly, and immediately turned to another path.

The Xianbei speeded up their horses and tried to maintain a parallel position with the opponent, so that they could shoot each other up and down. Even if they couldn't get the upper hand, they wouldn't let these bold Han riders take any advantage.

On the horse, the Xianbei people really have the ability!

Liu Jian thought to himself, his subordinates did not dare to be careless, and at this moment he could not change direction easily.

"Don't shoot the arrows! Keep the formation, keep the speed, don't be slower than the thieves." Seeing the barbarians getting closer, Liu Jian turned sideways to the people behind him and changed his order.

"Mr. Shaolang, how can you do it if you don't shoot the arrow?"

"Play by ear, don't let thieves surround us." Liu Jian confessed.

The best way now is to fight a protracted war. The longer the time, the better it will be for one's own side, but if it is to last, one must save arrows.

Tactics and horses are only one aspect, the most important thing is to look at the mood of both parties at the moment.

Liu Jian knew the details of the other party, but Xianbei didn't know their details. The longer it took, the more confused they became.

The Xianbei people chased after them on horseback. They thought they would fight hand to hand, but now they turned to see who can run fast, which is really aggrieved.

They don't have enough time, if they delay like this, if the other party's county soldiers really arrive, the consequences will be really unpredictable.

Of course, the support of the county soldiers does not actually exist.

Wei Ji, the barbarian team pushed to the side at a distance of sixty paces, and then did not get closer, otherwise it would be easy to make the distance between the two sides farther and farther.

Relying on their large numbers, they kept laughing loudly, trying to hit the morale of the Han people. From time to time, bone arrows flew towards the opposite side, but they were in a downwind position and the distance was too far, so there was no possibility of hitting them.

Liu Jian looked sideways and roughly estimated the distance between the two sides. Everything was already in his expectation.

He quickly drew a feathered arrow from the quiver, and shifted his whole body weight to the simple stirrup on his horse.

Yes, Liu Jian's horse has double stirrups.

In this era, most knights used single stirrups, and double stirrups were not popular, so Liu Jian secretly equipped himself with one, which he did not show to others on weekdays, only for use by himself at critical moments.

Some things, when the time is not right, should not be exposed, and it is not appropriate to do too much publicity and promotion.

For good things to come out, after all, it depends on the timing.

Although his double stirrups are simple, they are easy to use compared to others. At least they can greatly enhance the stability, thereby indirectly increasing the hit rate of riding and shooting.

In the process of twisting and turning around, he took advantage of the opportunity to open the bowstring, and aimed at the nearest barbarian who rushed to the front and was also the most yelling barbarian.

The Hu man rushed to the front of the team from the beginning to the end, as if he was the leader of the team of horse thieves. Under such circumstances, the king must be captured first to capture the thief.

Shooting a moving object is not an easy task, let alone on a bumpy horseback. However, Liu Jian has the upper hand right now, and he has the advantage of the stirrups. He is three-point confident that he can create some deterrence.

Hold your breath, bow your body steadily, and feel the rhythm of the ride under your crotch with your heart.

"middle!"

In an instant, he let go of the bowstring, and the feathered arrow screamed and flew out.

Although his eyesight was poor, the leader's sixth sense was extremely keen. He had just noticed Liu Jian's bow opening posture just now, and after hearing the sound of the arrow, he quickly lowered his head and turned sideways to avoid it.

The whistling feather arrow first grazed his horse's head, and then his own shoulder. Although he avoided the vital point, the feather arrow that passed through finally hit another one immediately behind. The name is Xianbei.

"Ah~~!"

The Xianbei man who was hit by the arrow screamed in pain, persisted on the horse's back for a while, then staggered and fell down, being swallowed by the horseshoes of his companions behind him.

"Shaolang Jun's divine power!"

"Shaolang Jun shoots!"

Although it was a hit by accident, the arrow still surprised the two parties.

Shan Man was angry and frightened, cursed and cursed, and then shot two arrows in Liu Jian's direction.

The rest of the barbarians followed suit and shot more than a dozen arrows in a random manner, but unfortunately it was not with the wind, and there was no stirrup, and it was dark, and they had to slow down their horses when they opened their bows to aim. Speaking of catching up with Liu Jian, even the few followers behind Liu Jian couldn't catch the slightest bit.

The more than ten arrows shot by Shan Man and others all failed, which not only ruined their own face, but also set off the prestige of the Han people even more.

Today, this person is a big loss for Xianbei, but this is mainly because this place is the opponent's home field, and it is also in the forest at night. If they meet head-on on the grassland during the day, the Han people on the opposite side are not enough for Xianbei. A round of arrows.

The stark contrast immediately caused the crowd behind Liu Jian to cheer again.

Hearing the cheers of the crowd, Liu Jian became arrogant for a moment, and he shouted loudly: "How can these people who have not returned to Wanghua be enemies with Han Lang? They really hit a stone with an egg!"

With this statement, the morale of the side with fewer people is getting higher and higher!

Shan Man saw that the other party was cunning and difficult to deal with, although he was angry, he had no choice but to entangle him because the matter was urgent now, since he could not gain anything from the other party, he had to evacuate quickly.

But before Changman ordered all the Xianbei to turn horses, a sudden change occurred!

Yiqi suddenly rushed out from another direction, and went straight to the leader, Shanman.

The 14-year-old Zhang Fei is extremely brave. Although he has not grown up, he is still showing a heroic posture at this moment!

Those ten or so Xianbei riders only thought that the Han people would shoot at their side, but they didn't expect that they would not take the usual way, and suddenly sent a person to attack their side from the side.

This kind of thing is rarely done even by Xianbei people who live on the edge of a knife in the desert.

Unless you are the enemy of thousands of people, or a pure reckless man, you will do this. Isn't this sending yourself alive to be surrounded by the opponent?

But obviously, the young man holding a sword and riding a horse in front of him belongs to the former.

The courage of all!

Zhang Fei rode his horse galloping and roaring wildly, and came roaring in front of Shan Man in an instant.

"Hu thief confers the head!" A loud roar resounded through the air.

Shan Man was overwhelmed by the opponent's aura, and for a while lost the ability to adapt. He could only "huluhulu" swear words that Zhang Fei couldn't understand and didn't bother to listen to.

A sword slashed horizontally, and Shan Man suddenly felt the lack of oxygen in his brain, and then he saw that all the dark things in front of him seemed to be upside down. After a moment of dizziness, his head and neck were separated, and he swung a circle in the air, heavily fell on the grass.

Zhang Fei killed Shan Man with a sword, then raised his head and let out a long roar into the night sky.

His voice was so loud that it shook the sky thoroughly in the dark night, causing the eardrums of the barbarians beside him to bulge and feel weak.

Subconsciously, those Hu people thought it was the county soldiers from the Han Dynasty who came to support them.

It's no wonder that although the sky was still dark, Zhang Feishicai's skills and movements were roughly seen clearly by those Xianbei people.

With such courage and sword skills, among the county soldiers in Youzhou, at least he must be at the level of a village chief!
Some people are born to fight on the battlefield, even if they are newborn calves, they are better than those who have been on the battlefield for two or three years, just like Fan Kui in the early Han Dynasty, the most famous word in his lifetime credit book , It means "Xian Deng" and "beheading". From the first time he fought, this dog butcher began to chop people's heads for meritorious service, which is far more terrifying than veteran pawns who have been fighting for many years.

Facts have proved that there are too many powerful generals hidden in the butchers of the Han Dynasty. After Fan Kuai who slaughtered dogs 400 years ago, Zhuojun now has another warrior who butchers pigs.

The Xianbei lost their leader and began to retreat, and Zhang Fei's roar reached Liu Jian's ears, and he probably guessed the situation there.

"The barbarians want to escape!"

Liu Jian decisively called everyone to turn their horses and chase after him, and at the same time told the people behind him: "Listen, gentlemen, don't disperse later, follow me closely, let's attack the team on their left from the north. .”

"Come on! I will follow Mr. Shaolang!"

Liu Jian roughly counted the arrows in the quiver, then slapped the horse's stock and took the lead.

On the other hand, Zhang Fei cooperated with Liu Jian to pursue those Xianbeis from another direction.

It just so happened that Fuluo and a dozen other Xianbei were chasing after him in the direction where Shanman was running.

Seeing that the two teams of Hu Qi were about to meet, Liu Jian suddenly ordered: "Don't pay attention to the fleeing Hu people, just stare at their stalled horses and shoot!"

The purpose of Liu Jian and the others is not to wipe out these Hu cavalry. In terms of their number and combat strength, it is an almost impossible task. Jian and Liu Bei are three people.

Just now, Shan Man and others chased Liu Jian, and Liu Jian and the others could only drag them slowly. At this time, the leader of the opponent died, and the rest collapsed, so the rest had to be captured alive.

Shooting horses is obviously the best option.

When approaching those Hu Qi, Liu Jian drew his bow and shot repeatedly without hesitation.

At this time, he no longer cared about accurate shooting, he only wanted to cause as many casualties as possible in the shortest possible time, so as to trap a few more barbarians. It was unrealistic to keep them all, but he only needed to catch one or two alive , tonight is considered a success!
And after the followers at the rear approached, they also followed Liu Jian's example and shot quickly. The continuous shots of more than a dozen people immediately spread out a small rain of arrows, and Zhang Fei and Liu Bei were among them.

"Arrow Rain" made a surprise attack against the wind, covering half of the Xianbei people in it.

The problem is that Xianbei didn't know the reality, and didn't know whether the other party would continue to have more members. Coupled with a guilty conscience, he could only run away, and was shot down five or six times by the horse. Besides, many people were shot by arrows Injuried.

The wounded screamed with arrows, clinging to the horse's back to avoid falling off the horse, and kept urging the horse to run fast, while the horses hit by the arrow suffered pain and knocked people off their backs, disrupting the formation even more .

"Split your hands and catch those Hu thieves who have landed!"

Seeing that someone on the other side had fallen from the horse and was in a state of collapse, Liu Jian seized the opportunity to continue shooting, and at the same time quickly ordered people to capture them alive.

This job naturally fell on Zhang Fei. He was the most courageous among his own people. Although those barbarians fell, who knew if they would still be able to fight. If they were captured alive in close combat, only Zhang Fei could do it.

These Xianbei, who have no fighting spirit, don't know the situation, have lost their leaders, and only care about running for their lives. No one has the mind to calmly consider the advantages and disadvantages.

"Deran, you are safe!" Liu Bei galloped up to catch up with Liu Jian, keeping pace with him.

"Hahaha, don't worry! No harm! No injury!"

"Okay, let's catch up, brother." Liu Bei was also full of blood at the moment, shouting excitedly.

"Chase!"
