Chapter 247 Unparalleled Archery Skills
Commander Kang Ju glanced at the guide suspiciously and thought to himself: "Their leader is still with the general, so he doesn't dare to lie to me."
Thinking of this, the commander glared at the guide, "I'll give you my last name once, but I won't do it next time."
After the guide waited for Commander Kang Ju to turn his head, he couldn't help but secretly wipe his sweat. Although he had escaped punishment for the time being, he was even more uneasy now.
The movements and costumes of Wu Zheng and others do not look like the Shache people, but they look a bit like the Han army.
"Han Army!"
Thinking of this, the guide couldn't help but swallowed.
Wu Zheng was galloping with his men on horseback. When he saw only a small group of cavalry chasing him, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll go back and report the news first, so that Su Dubo can make preparations! I'll play with this team of horse thieves first!"
"No, Chief Pavilion, take care!"
The cavalryman who was called out by Wu Zheng agreed, knowing that the military situation was urgent, he immediately mounted his horse and galloped towards Sanhe Fort.
"Second and third sons, come up with your tricks and let the people of Kangju see..."
After the scout left, Wu Zheng took off his bow and arrows and prepared to lead the remaining seven scouts to fight with the Kangju people.
"Don't worry, Chief Pavilion. Let the Dukes teach these Kangju people what riding and shooting are..."
There were about thirty Kangju cavalry in pursuit. Judging from their attire, they should also be horse archers.
The scouts of the Han army were all elites selected from the army.
Among the Han army, they were all top-notch masters in the art of riding and archery, and the horses they equipped were also the best.
Although Kangju's cavalry was more numerous, the scouts showed no fear.
"Cai, the second and third sons use their own methods, let's see who has the most prey..."
In Wu Zheng's words, the chasing Kangju cavalry were like prey.
"Since the pavilion chief is a hunter, he must be worthy of the bet!"
An old soldier of the Han army grinned.
Wu Zheng laughed, "In this case, the winner will be given this knife!"
When all the scouts heard this, their eyes lit up. Wu Zheng's sword was a precious sword made with steel, and it was much better than the ordinary ring-headed sword.
"The pavilion chief's words are true!"
Wu Zheng laughed and said, "If you have the ability, take this knife from someone..."
"color!"
"Second and Third Sons, the field hunting begins..."
Kang Ju's cavalry was secretly upset when they saw Wu Zheng and others running away.
Now seeing Wu Zheng and others turning around, they rushed over screaming, obviously trying to catch them alive.
"call out"
When the distance between the two sides was still seventy steps, Wu Zheng had already bent his bow and fired the first arrow.
The people of Kangju were about to laugh at Wu Zheng for being timid in shooting the arrow in advance.
Unexpectedly, a scream of "Ah" came from beside me, and the leading Kangju cavalryman was shot through the heart by an arrow and fell off his horse.
The draw force of a general cavalry bow is about 6 buckets, but the bow Wu Zheng used was a bow made by himself. The draw force is between 7-8 buckets, so the range is also longer.
"Everyone, be careful!"
When the Kangju cavalrymen saw their companions being shot to the ground by an arrow, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all drew their bows to fight back.
Judging from the movements of these Kangju cavalry, they are all elite.
Just when these Kangju cavalry were about to approach Wu Zheng.
At this time, several other scouts raised their big yellow crossbows.
"jump jump jump!"
Powerful crossbow arrows flew out, knocking off their horses the two Kangju men who were rushing forward.
"Second and third sons, leave!"
After several Han army scouts finished shooting their crossbows, they immediately dispersed.
Wu Zheng chuckled and rode his horse to the east.
Because the Kangju people lost the upper hand, they were always one step slower than the Han army.
It's like playing chess, if you fall behind one step, you will fall behind every step.
Wu Zheng and others had this in mind and continued to use maneuvering tactics to attack the Kangju people.
Once there is a flaw in the Kangju people, the Han army's arrows will suddenly arrive.
The more the Kangju people pursued, and the more they were led by the Han army, the more flaws they had, but in just two-quarters of an hour, more than ten people died under the arrows of the Han army.
Among them, four people died at the hands of Wu Zheng.
The remaining Kangju people also realized that something was wrong with the situation. The opponents they faced were not ordinary cavalry at all. They were actually sharpshooters.
If they continue to chase, I am afraid that I and others will die under their arrows.
A roar sounded, and the remaining Kangju people decisively gave up the pursuit, turned their horses and ran back.
The Kangju people were timid, and Wu Zheng and others would not let them go.
In the blink of an eye, the chasing and fleeing parties were all separated. Now it was the Kangju people who were on the run, while the Han army was chasing after them.
Just now, the Han army scouts were worried about being overtaken by the Kangju people and falling into hand-to-hand combat, which seriously affected the performance of their archery skills.
This time the enemy was running away and they were pursuing, so they were completely free.
Wu Zheng, in particular, calmly shot arrows one after another while pursuing them. Almost every arrow would kill a Kangju man.
For the Han army, now is the real time for field hunting.
Several other Han army scouts also achieved brilliant results.
In just a quarter of an hour, most of the Kangju cavalry team was shot dead.
Wu Zheng and others originally planned to continue chasing these Kangju people, but then another group of Kangju people appeared in front.
"Two or three sons, let's go..."
After careful consideration, Wu Zheng issued the order to retreat.
They turned their horses and headed towards Sanhe Fort.
At this time, Su Fei also led two cavalrymen to come to the rescue.
As soon as he received the message from the first cavalryman, he immediately arranged the garrison of the fort.
After all matters were arranged, he led his cavalry and set off to meet Wu Zheng.
When they saw Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng and others had already walked back in a show of force.
Seeing that Wu Zheng was safe and sound, Su Fei couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Wu Jun is really an unparalleled archer. He is truly worthy of being a Condor Shooter!"
Wu Zheng smiled and said, "We'd better take it back to Sanhe as soon as possible. I think the Kangju Brigade is coming soon."
Su Fei agreed, turned to the other soldiers and said, "Second and third sons, quickly clear the battlefield and return to the castle!"
…
"What, the Condor Shooter!"
In the Kangju camp, those soldiers who had escaped with their lives were all lying on the ground, not daring to move at all.
"Damn, damn, they are all a bunch of trash! What's the use of waiting..."
The furious Commander Kang Ju struck a soldier on the ground with his knife. The soldier's body trembled a few times and it seemed that he was no longer alive.
"General, calm down!"
At this time, the guide had no choice but to persuade him.
Commander Kangju raised his scimitar.
"Needless to say, the whole army is gathering, whether it is the Yarkands or the Han people, they will all pay the price for this!"
The guide wanted to persuade them, but they had just crossed the mountains and the soldiers were exhausted, so it was really not a good time to fight.
However, when he saw Commander Kang Ju with exposed veins, he finally gave up. Faced with the moody, violent and murderous Kang Ju people, he did not have the courage to raise any further opinions.
After receiving the commander's order, the exhausted soldiers had to reluctantly cheer up, get up from the ground, climb on their horses, and head east.
