Song Dynasty

Chapter 45

A terrifying aura permeated from Wang Shen's body, and struck along the galloping horse.

In a trance, it seemed as if he saw an evil dragon coming out of hell.

Seeing the companions around him fall one by one, and one by one, until now he is the only one left, and finally the bandit scout finally collapsed.

He yelled: "Ghost, evil ghost!"

Immediately turned the horse's head and fled desperately.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Wang Shenxin let out a yell.I am now about [-] meters away from the thief, and the horses on both sides are running.Moreover, according to his estimation, the speed of the enemy's war horse is one point faster.Really chase, but can't catch up.

If he was asked to flee back to the old camp, wouldn't the sneak attack of Li Cheng's cavalry army be exposed.

He can't be allowed to escape. After so much hard work and sacrifice, how can he let the fruits of victory slip away easily? Never!

But how should he be kept?

It was too late, but soon after, Wang Shen's war horse had already passed the horse that the bandit officer was riding on.The man's lower body remained on the saddle, motionless.

With sharp eyes, Wang Shen saw a riding bow and a pot of arrows hanging beside his saddle.

Without thinking too much about it, he casually pinned the horizontal knife to his belt, stretched his ape arm and pulled the riding bow over, drew another arrow and put it on the bow, and with a "huo" he pulled it into a full moon.

The two horses, one in front and one in the back, were still galloping fast. Wang Shen held his bow high, clamped the horse's belly tightly, and put all his weight on the stirrups, and his whole body also rose and fell as the horses ran.

It was so bumpy that it was impossible to aim.

The enemy's horse is fast, but he has only one arrow in his hand.In other words, Wang Shen only had one chance.

If you can't get it right, it's all over.

Huge pressure accumulated in his heart like a stone, suffocating him.At the same time, the bow in his hand also seemed to become heavy, and his arms were faintly numb from the straight pull.

The thief rider in front couldn't help shaking, seeing that he was getting smaller and smaller.In a blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides has been pulled to 100 meters.

After running like this, he quickly escaped from the range of the bow and arrow.

Wang Shen clenched his teeth: No, I can't panic, I can't panic, there must be a way, I will!

The war horse was still ups and downs, like sitting in a flat boat, surrounded by turbulent rapids, and he was thrown up to the crest for a while, and fell heavily to the bottom of the valley for a while.

correct.

Suddenly, Wang Shen found that every time the horse rose and fell to the highest point, there would be a short pause for him to aim and shoot.

Thinking of this, Wang Shen's eyes brightened, he opened his mouth and let out a breath slowly.

After exhaling in one breath, the war horse has already reached the highest point, and the horse's hoof is about to fall.

With a faint smile, he lifted the bow upwards and shot it with a "swoosh".

This is the time.

At this time, the distance between the two has been pulled to almost 120 meters.

……

Xiao Ding, who fell on the ground, was blackened in bursts due to excessive blood loss.But he still opened his eyes and looked forward.At the same time, Lao Guo, who had been struggling in the fishnet, also stopped and tried to raise his head.

It's too far away, can you shoot it?

A heart seems to have been pulled by the feathered arrow in the sky, and it keeps rising until it reaches the highest point, and then falls.

……

This is a beautiful parabola, and the moment the feather arrow came out of the string, Wang Shen knew it was there this time.

Yes, his mind seemed to be connected to the shot arrow with a transparent silk thread. He had an illusion that this arrow was an arm extended by himself.

Sure to hit.

Wang Shen lowered his head suddenly, threw the bow in his hand on the ground, then raised his right hand high, slowly clenched his fist into a fist and hit the sky hard.

……

There was a loud cracking sound.

The sharp sound of this ear made the bandit army who was running for his life in panic couldn't help but look back.

"噗嗤" was a loud voice.

In an instant, the bridge of his nose was broken by Wang Shen's arrow.

But this didn't stop the triangular armor-piercing cone, the sharp arrow continued to shoot into the brain, and came out from the back of the head with a sudden sound, without even bringing out a drop of blood.

……

Xiao Ding and Lao Guo were taken away by Wang Shen's amazing arrow, and they both opened their mouths at the same time.

After a long time, Lao Guo murmured: "Heavenly King, Heavenly King..."

Yes, only Li Cheng and Li Tianwang can shoot such an arrow in the army.

In a trance, Wang Shen's figure and Li Cheng's figure were mixed together, and they could no longer be distinguished from each other.

"The one who controls the string and breaks the left, shoots the right to destroy the moon branch. He raises his hand to catch the flying bird, leans over to scatter the horse's hooves. He is as cunning as a monkey and ape, and as brave as a leopard." Wang Shen felt that his archery skills had never been so strong.Sure enough, fighting for life and death can make martial arts improve very quickly.

At this moment, he was in high spirits, and couldn't help shouting sharply: "The white horse is decorated with golden shackles, and it gallops north and west. If you ask me who's son, you're a knight-errant. Gold and iron horses are free and easy, a man should be like this!"

"Yu Yu, Lao Guo, I promised to take you back alive, let's go, let's go home!"

"Brother Pao Ze, brother Pao Ze!" Xiao Ding and Lao Guo burst into tears.

************************************************** *******
woo... woo...

There are wolves howling in the distance.

In the past two years, Huaixi has been full of wars, people's roads have fallen, the land has been barren, and wild animals have increased, especially Hongze Lake, which has become a sea of ​​grass.

Since entering the lake area, the men of the cavalry battalion have been marching and hunting at the same time, but they have made some gains.

After eating wild duck and wild goose meat, drinking enough wine, and making enough noise, the soldiers all fell to the ground in disorder and fell asleep, with hearty snores one after another.

Only piles of bonfires are still flickering, being pulled by the wind and whistling.

Chen Lanruo was only wearing a thin shirt, and walked slowly beside the campsite with two machetes on her waist, her leather boots rustling on the dry lake bed.As a battalion officer, she could have slept soundly in her small tent, instead of drinking wind and dew in this wilderness.

But she can't, she knows that these three hundred men are the best of the elite, and some old soldiers have spent more time in war than her own years.Among them, two hundred Jian'er were originally the old subordinates of the late husband. For the sake of my dead man, maybe I can give some face.But others may not take her seriously.

To master this powerful army, you have to be stronger than others.In addition to subduing them with martial arts, you have to work harder than them.

woo... woo...

The howl of the wolf became louder, followed by a long, shrill howl.

The war horse lying on the ground pricked up its ears, and the soldier lying beside him stretched out his hand and patted the horse's neck gently to calm the animals that were about to become restless.

Suddenly, Chen Lanruo felt uneasy.Only then did I remember that Wang Shen, Lao Guo, and Xiao Ding's team of scouts had been out for almost two hours.The security circle of the cavalry battalion spread out for fifteen miles, and the scouts patrolled in three directions, changing every hour.If you haven't come back yet, don't let anything happen.

If they really had an accident and lost Wang Shen as their guide, how would they fight this battle, and how should I explain to my adoptive father?

Chen Lanruo regretted it a bit, she would not have sent the man surnamed Wang out if she had known.

But, I can't control my violent temper?As soon as I saw his smiling face, I felt angry and wanted to chop his face with a knife.

Recruiting for security, recruiting for security?
My family's man died at the hands of the court, and this enmity is irreconcilable.In this world, it was their Zhao family who caused the disaster.If there were no trash like Emperor Daojun and Zhao Huan, what would the world be like now?To be honest, on the surface, the thief died at the hands of that bastard Du Chong, but in fact he was killed by the Zhao family.

Like a father, like a son, like a brother, like a brother, I don't think the current official Zhao Jiu is a good guy...

Yes, it is impossible to blame the surname Wang for being a thief.

but……

Thinking of her husband who died unjustly, Chen Lanruo's eyes sparkled.

She tore a wine jug from the hand of a sleeping soldier next to her, and was about to pour it into her mouth.

At this time, the wolf was still howling, which made people upset.

Chen Lanruo couldn't bear it anymore, mounted her horse, and rushed out with her bow in her hands, intending to shoot the damned beast to death.

After rushing out for about two miles, I saw a group of dark horses rushing forward.

Chen Lanruo was startled, but she was not afraid, and shouted sharply: "Whoever is, report your name."

"Miss, it's us, I'm Lao Guo."

Then, Wang Shen shouted eagerly: "Military doctor, military doctor! Call the military doctor quickly, Xiao Ding is dead!"

**********************************************
In the light of the bonfire, Xiao Ding opened his mouth wide and panted heavily, his face like golden paper.

He was stabbed in the vest, and the wound stretched from his right shoulder to his waist, opening hideously.Blood was gushing out, and someone picked up a needle and thread and sewed it quickly.

Probably because he felt the pain, Xiao Ding hummed in a low voice.

Chen Lanruo had already heard what happened from Lao Guo, she looked at the person who was giving Xiaoding medicine, and asked, "How is it?"

The man's hands were covered in blood, and his expression was gloomy, "I'm afraid...they won't be saved."

Everyone's heart sank when they heard the words.

Probably understood the meaning of this sentence, Xiao Ding's body trembled, and he murmured weakly: "Help me, save me, mother, mother...I miss you, mother..."

Tears welled up in Wang Shen's eyes. He snatched the jug from Chen Lanruo's hand and poured a sip of wine into his mouth: "Xiao Ding, good brother, we will not abandon you. You can't die with a small injury. There will be a war soon. , I will leave a horse for you, and you will go back to Pingyuan Town to wait for me at dawn. I will go to find you after the battle, and let's have a good drink."

"Brother, brother, thank you...I want to go home, I want to go home, I don't want to die..." A difficult smile appeared on Xiao Ding's face, he tilted his head and stopped breathing.

After all, the blood loss was too much. Even after the wound was sewn up, the young soldier still couldn't make it through.

"You won't die, good brother, go to sleep, go to sleep, you'll be home when you wake up." Wang Shen's tears fell in strings.

"Brother Xiaoding!" Lao Guo covered his mouth with his hands, and a suppressed cry sounded.

Chen Lanruo grabbed the wine pot in Wang Shen's hand and poured it into her own mouth.

The wide sleeves were drawn down, revealing long, slender and graceful muscle lines. The cold wine flowed down the arms, and the green dragon tattooed on it stretched its teeth and danced its claws, as if it was about to come alive.

After drinking, she threw the wine jug into the fire.

Sparks splashed and drifted in the wind.

"Everyone get up, put out the fire, put on your armor, and get on your horse!"

Amidst the roar, the soldiers all got up from the ground, pulled apart their trousers and gathered around the campfire to squirt out a puff of urine.

When the fire was extinguished, the fishy smell permeated, and the man's blood was overwhelming.

Chen Lanruo looked at her subordinates in a blink of an eye, and when the troops were ready, she got on her horse and said, "Xiao Ding is dead, Zhiniang thief, we want revenge! Everyone follow me, copy Li Yu's lair, cut down His dog's head!"

"Old rules, this battle is over, get drunk for three days, and all the expenses are on my head. Let's go!"

With a wave of her ferocious flower arm, there was no cry, no angry roar, and the team moved forward in a thunderous and silent manner.

In the night light, the dewy armor glistened like a river of steel.
