Chapter 569: A centuries-old disease, eradicated in one fell swoop!
"It's so dark...so dark!"
"Follow up! Keep up! Don't fall behind!"
"Slow down, count the number of people, and rest where you are!"
Hua Rong walked in the passage with her head buried in her chest, trying her best to keep her eyes wide open, and followed closely behind the person in front of her.
His waist was slightly arched, even though his head did not hit the stone wall, he still did this subconsciously in this cramped environment.
Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Ever since he joined the Beijing camp as a soldier, he has long heard about the bad reputation of Wuyou Cave. In the past, he always felt that the court was not doing anything. Now that he has really gone deep, he realizes that this place is really terrible.
Less than a quarter of an hour after we had gone deep, many people had already collapsed, screamed in panic, sat on the ground and refused to leave. They finally continued on the road, and some people lost their way, but fortunately they were found quickly.
Cleaning up the team and stabilizing morale took longer than the march. After such stumbling progress, the vision finally opened up and we arrived at the cave.
Light shone from above, and torches were lit. Although there were bones piled up in the corner, everyone finally calmed down a little.
Gongsun Zhao was not in a hurry and let them rest and adapt to the situation here.
Hua Rong counted the missing arrows in his quiver in a low voice, adjusted his breathing in his own way, and then looked at Judge Gongsun standing high up, showing admiration.
Before entering the cave, the opponent acted vigorously and fiercely, but after entering the cave, he fought steadily and planned things out slowly. It was obvious that he was well-prepared and planned before moving. It was definitely not a wasteful fight.
With such a leader, this battle has great potential.
Gongsun Zhao noticed Hua Rong's gaze and nodded slightly to encourage him, but there was worry deep in his eyes.
He adopted the strategy of using troops with great speed and was indeed not interfered by the court. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. The team that was formed temporarily had no training at all and was only slightly stronger than the mob.
If we are attacked fiercely by the enemy next, with our current morale, we may not be able to exert even half of our normal combat effectiveness, and we will collapse if we are not careful.
Therefore, he should think of all possible contingency measures as much as possible.
The sound of footsteps suddenly came.
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed. Even Hua Rong immediately bent his bow and drew an arrow. Due to the excessive range of movement, he almost hit the people on the side.
Fortunately, at this moment, an old but energetic voice came: "Zhou Tong of Yuquan Hall, I have met you all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with gray hair, a bright red face, and a strong spirit appeared, cupping his fists and saluting.
"Coach Zhou!" "It's really Coach Zhou!"
The people in the front row looked at it by the light of torches and were immediately overjoyed. Soon the news spread to those behind, and everyone was beaming with joy.
In the shadow of the famous tree, if someone else led the team into the Worry-free Cave, everyone would not dare to follow him. It was precisely because of Gongsun Zhao, the cold-faced judge, that they were willing to believe him.
The depressing environment in the cave eroded confidence, and even Gongsun Zhao could not suppress the situation. The old hero Zhou Tong, who became famous since Emperor Shenzong, came forward again to continue to boost morale.
The key is that Zhou Tong's appearance also made them feel that not only they were fighting alone, but also the heroes from the Yuquan Hall were rushing into the cave together to provide support at any time.
In fact, only Zhou Tong came, and Li Yan came to invite him, and the old hero readily agreed.
Not only was he in the last Yisuke Yuquan Gym, but he was also dealing with Wuyoudong, so he had no choice but to do so.
Gongsun Zhao, Zhou Tong, Lin Yuanjing and Zhang Bofen worked together to boost the morale of everyone and encouraged people: "The thieves are fighting among themselves and have no time to worry. You don't have to worry about being attacked!"
"As long as we enter the depths of Wuyou Cave and eliminate the thieves, we will be successful! We will win! We will be rewarded! From now on, everyone will look up to us!"
Ever since, when we started marching again, our speed had obviously increased a lot, and there were no screams of panic or fear.
After walking like this for half an hour, two people jumped out in front of me again.
It was Lu Junyi and Suo Chao who ran down after waking up, full of energy and itchy: "Everyone, please come with us!"
After following them, you will travel faster.
After initially adapting to the dark, difficult environment in the cave with many forks, Hua Rong's mentality gradually changed. Holding the long bow in his hand, he went from uneasy to eager to try, and began to hope to encounter the enemy and make military exploits.
He was not the only one whose fighting spirit surged.
In the past, if the thief made a save, the whole team might collapse, but now if the thief doesn't come out, the whole team can't accept it.
They have all come to this place. They will not prepare for nearly a year like they did fifty years ago, only to catch a few scattered thieves after entering and return in disgrace, right?
Just as he was eager to find traces of the thief, the smell of blood suddenly came.
Then it became more and more intense and terrifying.
Finally, blood was splattered everywhere on the stone wall in front of him, and all kinds of horrific corpses came into view.
Everyone clenched the weapons in their hands, held their breath and concentrated, and then discovered that they were all corpses, no living people.
"It seems that the thieves really killed each other. No wonder they were not attacked along the way..."
"They won't all die, right? Then how can we make meritorious deeds?"
This worry was unnecessary, because when they walked further, they finally heard the sound of fighting.
"Is someone shooting an arrow?"
Hua Rong's ears twitched and he keenly heard the sound of a bow string breaking through the air. He quickly took a few steps, got behind Lin Yuanjing and looked forward.
I saw a tall and heroic man standing in front of him, holding a very ordinary bow and arrow in his hand, but the bowstring was turned into a shadow, and arrows were shot out in succession.
The first arrow penetrated the eye socket of the distant thief, the second arrow caused blood to bloom on the face of another thief, the third arrow pierced the throat of the third person, and the fourth arrow pierced the heart of the fourth person...
And until he shot nine arrows and killed nine thieves, the first thief just fell to the ground.
The screams of the arrows flying through the air were continuous, and along with the sound of the strings, they played an exciting killing sound.
Hua Rong's eyes lit up when he saw it, he was surprised and envious. He really didn't expect that there is such a perfect archery in the world. I'm afraid the former Han general Li Guang was just like this, right?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He has a good vision. This is Li Guang's Gongxian Jin, secretly passed down for nine days.
Li Yan hadn't used this technique alone for a long time, and now he was able to use it again with great ease.
But one thing he really couldn't change was that the lost arrow could not be recovered.
After leaving more than a dozen corpses behind, the beggar hiding behind the bunker yelled: "You are only one person! Do you still want to kill us all? You can't do it! You can't do it.
of!"
The quiver beside Li Yan was indeed empty, but when he heard the footsteps behind him, he smiled slightly and shouted to the thief: "You might as well see again to see if I am alone!"
The beggar didn't dare to poke his head in, forcing the other thieves to observe, and then suddenly froze.
Because besides Lu Junyi and Suo Chao, strangers walked out beside the God of Death.
First came Gongsun Zhao and Zhou Tong, then Lin Yuanjing and Zhang Bofen, and then Hua Rong and other tall imperial guards appeared closely.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
When two parties are fighting, the number of people cannot determine the outcome. It often happens that a small number wins against a large number. However, it cannot be denied that the power of large numbers is indeed a huge advantage, especially the psychological senses it brings are completely different.
Not long ago, they discovered that Wuwozi's lair had been burned down, and the beggar leader was nowhere to be found. His morale had dropped to the extreme, with only the last bit left to rely on.
There are many of us!
You, a fierce god, can fight in alone, or what if you have three or four scattered partners? There are nearly two thousand people left here, can you kill them one by one?
But now, when the soldiers appeared one after another, even the last advantage was gone.
In particular, Gongsun Zhao stood out from the crowd: "I am Gongsun Zhao, the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture. Under the order of the Queen Mother, I led the imperial army and the fast archers of the Beijing Camp to enter Wuyou Cave to kill the thieves! You have brought trouble to Bianjing and harmed the people. You have done all kinds of evil.
The days are over..."
"The magic arm bow! Kill the thieves!! Make great achievements!!"
After he finished speaking, Gongsun Zhao turned over his back and took out a strange crossbow.
Even Li Yan couldn't help but be attracted to it, because this object was the weapon of the Northern Song Dynasty army that was widely known in later generations, the Divine Arm Bow.
This kind of weapon is famous, and the Jin Wu Shu, that is, Wanyan Zongbi's words are also indispensable: "In the past, when I was marching south, I saw the weapons used by the Song Dynasty. The most wonderful thing was the divine arm bow, the second best was the heavy axe, and there was nothing else.
Afraid, I will make it like this now."
"Take 濿 (tough mountain mulberry) as the body, sandalwood as the crossbow, iron as the head of the gun, copper as the horse's face and teeth, and hemp rope tied with silk as the string." The shape is a crossbow, called the bow, and it is the arm of the god.
bow.
This kind of crossbow can be fired by a single soldier, firing arrows with wooden feathers several inches long, with a range of more than 240 steps, and "still penetrates elm wood without even being harsh", which shows its strength.
Not only is it more powerful than an ordinary crossbow, but the front end of the Divine Arm Bow also has a pedal made of a circular iron ring. With this pedal, there is no need to step on the crossbow arm to wind the bow, which reduces the difficulty of use and the damage rate.
Therefore, such crossbows have the advantages of long range, strong power, relatively light weight, and can be fired by one person, so they are naturally popular.
Gongsun Zhao's divine arm bow was taken out from the armory just now. He took aim and shot an arrow, hitting the chest of a thief two hundred steps away.
The thief was directly lifted up by the huge force, and suddenly hit the person behind him. The latter let out a shrill scream, and the former had already become a corpse.
"Kill the thief!! Make a contribution!!"
The one who reacted the fastest and responded was Hua Rong, who dreamed of making great achievements. Arrows shot out of his hand, and the archers around him also responded one by one, rows of arrows flying out.
Wails resounded everywhere, and the arrows struck either dead or injured. The feathered arrows swayed gently on the thieves' bodies, as if they were inserted into flowers that undulated in the wind.
"Kill the thief!! Make a contribution!!"
Following closely behind, Lin Yuanjing raised his gun, Zhang Bo raised his sword, and Zhou Tong Lao Dang took the lead, leading the imperial troops to charge through in the simplest formation.
call!
There is a substantial fighting spirit surging in the air, a bloody excitement and an explosion of power!
The weapons Gongsun Zhao equipped them were originally designed for defense, but at this time, out of hatred for Wuyou Cave and desire for military success, everyone became red-eyed when they first met!
It was really flesh and blood hitting flesh and blood, cold light reflecting cold light, the wave-like impact turned into a majestic wind and lightning, causing a rain of blood among the thieves!
The morale of the bandits in Wuyou Cave collapsed.
The speed is unexpectedly fast, but within reason.
In the past, there were heroic knights in the world, all of them fierce and fierce, wielding eighteen kinds of weapons, and came in to torture them. In the end, even the beggars were beaten to the point where they broke off their arms and ran away, unable to recover.
Now, the regular army of the imperial court simply came to the front with divine arm bows. Even though there were very few divine arm bows in the armory, it was not enough to arm this team, but the thieves didn't know!
What they don't even know is that there are only 500 people on the other side. From their perspective, they can only see one person emerging. They are all wearing strong armor and have murderous eyes. Their morale is not afraid of those in Wuyou Cave, and
Is there anything more despairing than this?
"Chief! Chief, save us!"
The thieves wailed, missing the leader, but they never received a response. The broken limbs and broken arms were like rolling waves of red flames, dancing in a blood-colored wave, but the blood talisman array was never activated again.
All sides were surrounded by Imperial Guardsmen, and the light of death was waving from all sides.
The war situation descended into a one-sided massacre.
"Eradicate all evil!"
Li Yan stood with his hands behind his back, always guarding against the appearance of Wu Wozi. At this moment, he saw that the leader of the thief had really disappeared. With an order, Lu Junyi and Suo Chao rushed out to stop the thief's escape.
Gongsun Zhao came to his side and took command of the battle. Although he was not a general on the battlefield, he saw this situation and knew that this battle had achieved a brilliant victory.
In just two days, he had endured unimaginable pressure. Seeing such results, he couldn't help but trembled with excitement: "I didn't expect such a day to come... I didn't expect such a day to come!"
But after taking a deep breath, and thinking that this person was in charge of the whole battle, Gongsun Zhao said again: "Brother, this battle is actually all your fault, I can't take the credit!"
Li Yan had a different view: "You don't need to belittle yourself. If it weren't for you, I would rather offend the ministers, directly seal the guild and main store that colluded with Wuyoudong, and cut off the food supply. We can't do this now..."
Gongsun Zhao wanted to say something more, but the thieves had already started shouting: "We surrender!" "We surrender! We surrender!"
The fate of the Wuyou Cave thief will definitely be execution, and there is no possibility of forgiveness. However, under the fear of death, people's instinctive will to survive kicks in, and even if they die later, it is better.
Considering that there were still people who had been kidnapped in the cave, Gongsun Zhao brought in the fast archers just to rescue those people. At this time, he was naturally willing to reduce unnecessary casualties and shouted: "Discard the weapons! Lie down and
On the ground!"
The thieves struggled and were afraid, but finally complied.
When the sound of weapons falling to the ground was heard, and there was no one standing except for the imperial guards, Hua Rong slowly put down the arrow, his eyes suddenly turned red, and tears rolled out.
Not only him, but also everyone felt a strong sense of unreality in their hearts, which then turned into loud cheers.
Hearing the excitement and ecstasy from the heart, Li Yan also smiled.
A century-old disease can be eradicated in one fell swoop!
