Han ride

Chapter 178
Zhang Cai didn't refuse either, but when he was about to introduce Li Xin to others, these elders didn't take Li Xin to heart, or thought that these people were all Zhang Cai's subordinates, or they were just a young man, and surrounded him immediately. Zhang Cai went up to the tower.And Li Xin didn't care, these people didn't care about themselves, that was the best, and led Zhang Wu and others to the tower.

When we got to the city tower, we saw sailboats covering the sky and the sun on the river in the distance. From time to time, we could see flames spraying out from these warships, and then we heard a loud noise, and the mud on the city wall rolled down. The guns are less powerful, but in the interior of Jiangyin, probably during the Jiajing period, some Japanese pirates came to make trouble, so far, there are very few cannon shots.Even though Gu Sanmazi did harm to Jiangyin in the past, he didn't dare to act presumptuously because of the presence of troops in Jiangyin.But now it is different, there is no imperial army in Jiangyin City, although they are young and strong, how can these people be afraid.This was especially the case for Gu Sanmazi, the cannons were rumbling, and bursts of laughter could be faintly heard from the battleship, the voice was full of pride.

"Have you reported to the peak yet?" Zhang Cai said to the elders beside him with a solemn expression.

"Responding to Mr. Zhang's words, the rescuers have been dispatched, but we don't know when they will arrive." The person who spoke was called He Mao, who was once a scholar and had a certain reputation in Jiangyin City.

"Look, they are going to attack." At this time, someone in the crowd said loudly.

Everyone looked over, and saw the giant ship on the river put down the boat, and some pirates jumped onto the boat, and some pirates even jumped into the river, took their weapons and stepped on the water. There were bursts of shouts from these people There were killing and howling sounds, and the weapons in his hands were also shining with cold light.His words kept destroying the morale of the defenders on the city.

Seeing this, Li Xin sighed. It is true that the style of writing in the south of the Yangtze River is at its peak, but the same lack of military equipment, even the pirates dared to attack the city. It is not as good as the other party, but now, each face is pale with fright.How can rely on such a person to stick to the city, even if Zhang Cai is here.

"My lord, I'm afraid these people can't resist Gu Sanmazi's attack, what should we do?" Zhang Wu asked in a low voice.

"Let's talk about it later." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Zhang Cai is a good person with a great reputation. If we can get this person, it will greatly increase our strength."

"Will he go with us?" Zhang Wu asked in disbelief.Zhang Wu also understood that in the Ming Dynasty, scholars in the Central Plains would only go to the grasslands unless they were captured by Li Xin, or they were relegated by the court like Sun Yuanhua, and who is Zhang Cai in front of him? Good people, how could such a person agree to go to the grassland?

"It doesn't matter if you don't go, we can invite them to go." Li Xin said casually: "I have sent people to Linchuan to pick up Zhang Cai's son and go to the grassland."

When Zhang Wu heard the words, the boss opened his mouth and looked at Li Xin in surprise. He immediately understood that Li Xin's move was to kidnap Zhang Cai and go to the grassland.I am afraid that this is the only way to bring Zhang Cai back to the grassland.

"My lord is really a hero of a generation. I'm afraid only my lord can do such a thing." Zhang Wu sighed repeatedly in his heart.But in his heart, he sighed that Li Xin is really a generation of hero, and only such a hero can achieve world hegemony.Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhang Cai on the side, revealing a little weirdness.

Zhang Cai on the one side obviously didn't know that he had become Li Xin's meat ticket. At this time, he was also frowning. He was just a county magistrate, not a county captain. He could learn and govern the people, but If it's about fighting, it won't work.

"Master Zhang, you see that the opponent is thinking of attacking Jiangyin before they have a firm foothold. Although their Flang cannons are powerful, the opponent's Flang cannons are relatively few. For the pirates who have lost their cover, a single charge is enough to collapse them " Seeing Zhang Cai's nervous expression, Li Xin hurried up and said softly.

"Master Mu, do you think we can win? Can we rush out?" Zhang Cai glanced around and smiled wryly.Li Xin also looked over, but saw that everyone was trembling with fear, and the faces of those young and strong were full of fear.

"That is to use the second method, deterrence." People like Li Xin did not have the courage to take the initiative to attack the horse bandits, so he said immediately.

"Deterrence?" Zhang Cai's eyes lit up, and then he said, "I don't know what deterrence the young master is talking about?"

Li Xin glanced around and said, "Is there a strong bow? I will shoot it."

"Master, make a move?" Zhang Cai was taken aback when he heard the words. He took a deep look at Li Xin, but he saw that Li Xin was handsome and looked like a frail scholar. Could such a person be able to shoot arrows?And it was also using a strong bow, which couldn't help but make him curious.

"There is a bow in the old man's house, how about three stones?" Yang Fang listened, and immediately came over and said.

"Three stones? It's too light." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "The giant ship is far away from the city, and the three-stone bow is too short, so it should take six stones. Only a six-stone bow can hit the giant ship."

"Six stones?" Everyone's complexion changed drastically, and they looked at Li Xin with horrified eyes, their faces were full of disbelief, even Zhang Cai was the same. Not ordinary people can pull up a six-stone strong bow. Li Xin is just a scholar, how could he pull him out.

"The old man has a six-stone bow. I don't know if the young master can pull it away." Xue Yong showed a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"You can try it in this way." Li Xin didn't care about the other party's sarcasm, and said to Zhang Cai with a smile: "I don't know if Mr. Zhang has other ways?"

"Young master's guard?" Zhang Cai showed a trace of hesitation on his face.

"If it doesn't work, I can naturally help you." Li Xin nodded and said.

"Please trouble the old man to get the bow." Zhang Cai nodded and said to Xue Yong.Xue Yong nodded, waved his hand behind him, and saw the servants behind him turn around and run towards the city.

"If the other party approaches, shoot it with an arrow." Li Xin said to Zhang Wu behind him: "These pirates are nothing more than that, they have no discipline at all."

"Mr. Mu's words are very true. With you here, I think Gu Sanmazi will not enter my Jiangyin City." Zhang Cai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded towards Li Xin.

"Master Mu, the bow is here." At this moment, two young men came up holding a big bow in both hands.I saw that divine bow was radiant and shining with a strange light.

"Good bow!" Zhang Cai nodded involuntarily.

Li Xin also nodded, stretched out his right hand and grasped the precious bow in his hand, weighed it for a while, then nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled it, but he saw the bow string was slowly pulled away, making toothache sounds.The bowstring, which was about as thick as a child's little finger, was pulled apart by him.Everyone around was surprised, even Zhang Cai was also shocked.

"Here comes the arrow." Li Xin nodded, the strong bow is in good condition.Li Xinxin felt extremely comfortable, took a deep breath, and took a sharp arrow from Zhang Wu's hand.

"Bang!" The huge bowstring was slowly pulled apart in front of everyone's naked eyes, half full, full.The boss with everyone's eyes wide open, Li Xin drew a full bow, and then heard a burst of sharp screams, sharp arrows pierced the air, causing bursts of roars in the air, and then saw the mast of a giant ship in the distance being shot down. smashed.It fell from the sky, and there were bursts of exclamations from a distance.There are not only thieves, but also those on the top of the city.The pirates who were wading and charging stopped one after another, and looked at the giant ship in the distance with horrified eyes. They didn't expect that the opponent's arrow would shoot through the mast. What a force it is.Although he has practiced many times behind Goutu, it is still a little bit short if he is as perfect as Jutu.

"Come again." Li Xin also hissed softly. His magic arrow skills are not good at all, but only because of his strength, he can shoot arrows with such momentum. It is already very good to be able to hit the mast.But if it was an arrow, it was obviously not enough, so Zhang Wu took the long arrow from Zhang Wu's hand.

After hearing a teeth-gritting sound and a scream, another exclamation came from a distance, this time it was the flag on the giant ship that was shot. The pennant was shot in a circle, and then the pennant on the second giant ship was shot. When the third giant ship was shot, the crossbar of the flag was shot, and the arrow pierced the crossbar. Visible to the naked eye, the flag slowly fell.

"Okay." Everyone exclaimed, followed by cheers.They didn't know that Li Xin's attack was also by mistake, or that Li Xin did it on purpose, as long as the archery skills of hundreds of giant ships were not too bad, they could always encounter some.Especially with such a flag, one can always come across one, the probability is so high, how could Li Xin miss it!

And on the giant ship in the distance, a bearded man also opened his eyes wide, staring at the triangular flag falling in the sky, and then looked towards the distant city wall. With the naked eye, a man with a bow and arrow was visible, preparing to Shoot towards yourself.

"Who has this supernatural power to shoot so far?" The corners of the bearded man's mouth twitched, and the three pockmarks on the tip of his nose were even more revealing. Obviously, this man was not aggressive, but it was Gu Sanpock, who shot with the tip of his nose. It is famous for the three pockmarks on it.

"Only the six-stone bow." The dark-looking young man on the side sighed: "Only the man with the six-stone bow can shoot such a powerful bow and arrow on the city wall. What makes me curious is that he can shoot so far, you Everywhere I am is within his shooting range? Why didn't he shoot you and me, instead of shooting somewhere else?"

"My dear brother, is it because he is not skilled enough in archery, or did he not notice you and me?" Gu Sanmazi thought for a while and said.

"No." The young man pointed behind Gu Sanmazi and then pointed to the flag on the giant ship, and said, "You are sitting on a tiger leather chair, and you are the only one sitting on the entire giant ship. How could he not find out?" , and look at the flag on this flagship, the flag is different from other flags, why is he not clear?"

"Then what do you mean?" Gu Sanmazi frowned and said.

"He doesn't want to kill us." The young man sneered, "The six-stone bow is so powerful. If you want to shoot us dead, what will you and I use to resist it?"
