Three hundred and thirty-four town three mountains twenty-seven
The light crossbow modified by Dayao Ordnance Supervision and Crossbow Factory is the weapon that every Dayao scout dreams of. The three-edged arrowhead with blood groove and barb is enough to penetrate three layers of cooked cowhide at fifty paces, but it weighs less than the military
The standard Wu standard crossbow is seven to two or five cents lighter. It is this seemingly insignificant weight of half a catty, but it becomes very important in long-distance raids that can often be hundreds of miles.
However, the power of the crossbow that could penetrate three layers of cooked cowhide was still insufficient in the eyes of Su Qilian and others, so after strengthening the bow and strings, they added snake venom to the arrowheads, although it was not as deadly as Ye Chenliang's flying needle.
, but it was more than enough to damage Wu Erlang's body.
The corners of the Xiaoyaoshan King's mouth slowly rose.
Net, a huge net, the mesh is almost transparent, but strong enough to trap an angry elephant. It was such a net that was thrown down from the hole in the roof, trying to cover Takejiro who seemed to be unaware.
Inside.
The military attache of Jinzhou who was dormant on the roof knew that this indestructible net was tenacious. An ordinary sword could not even cut through a single thread of this net. However, he did not think that such a net could trap even a bare-handed person.
Takejiro.
So the moment the net fell, the three walls of the room were all broken open. His comrades armed with light crossbows pulled the hanging knives and fired poisonous triangular arrows from all directions towards the trapped people.
The King of Xiaoyaoshan was in the net, blocking all his escape routes and possibilities of movement.
After firing a round of crossbow arrows, all of them were still rewinding the bow as quickly as possible. The Jinzhou military attache who was extremely familiar with these movements could even raise his eyes to see the reaction of the King of Xiaoyao Mountain.
Then all of them saw a knife that seemed to appear out of thin air.
Cutting through that web was like a hot knife cutting through wax.
How to make this net, which can be worth thousands of taels of silver with snowflake patterns at least, is a secret kept by the mountain people in the mountains of southern Dayao Prefecture who are dedicated to taming animals. They often use this net to catch rare birds and strange animals as a gift to the local government.
Tribute presented by the imperial court. If the killer who was out of the Cutting Platform had not accidentally broken into the Qingzhou mountain people, it would have been possible for the people of Qingzhou to use this net to catch worms. It might have taken a long time for these nets to be circulated. However, the Killing Killer from the Cutting Platform took a look
Then he saw the real power of this network, and soon many strangers came to the villages and fortresses where the mountain people had lived for generations. They bartered with silks and silks that were smoother than the delicate skin of the most beautiful woman in the village.
The iron tools, which were a hundred times more convenient than the stone axes and knives they used, exchanged these nets with the elders of the village, so that the Dayao officials who came to the village to collect tributes returned empty-handed the next year.
Su Qilian was not surprised that the silk net failed to have the rumored miraculous effect. After all, the King of Xiaoyaoshan, who could barely be regarded as a hero, would be like a rooster laying eggs if he was trapped to death by a broken net like this.
A rare thing like a rooster crowing.
The net that was divided into two pieces by a knife was already in ruins. When it fell to the ground, Su Qilian and more than ten people had already shot the first batch of arrows. Half of the Jinzhou military attachés reloaded the strings of the light crossbows, and the other half drew out the arrows.
The forearm-length daggers at the waist were ready for battle. The blades that were supposed to be as smooth as a mirror were deliberately roughened, and even the blades were coated with special paint to prevent the scouts from being inexplicably killed by the reflection of the blades during night battles.
.
They have many weapons that are similar to the ordinary scouts in Dayao's army. The original idea came from their dead old brother Zhang Wu. Every time the scouts of Dayao Camp were sent out to spy on the enemy, Zhang Wu would pursue them afterward if there were any casualties.
Ultimately, it turns out that the successful scouting strategy is fallacious.
Is it the responsibility of the dead and wounded themselves, or is there something unreasonable about their armament? If you examine the past one by one, the reasons will come to light. When the other scouts in Jinzhou saw this, they all laughed at them for being such a good team, and they had no time to waste time on these details.
, it is better to sharpen the knife faster and chop the horse's fodder more finely. Why are there dead people? Since ancient times, scouts have had a narrow escape from death. Could it be that if you figure this out, they will be able to survive a few more times?
Zhang Wu did what none of them wanted to do. When the negligible casualties reported by their scout later caused a shock in the Jinzhou army, the man who had bucked the trend had already left Jinzhou sadly carrying his burden.
The state army went south and silently established a sect in a county in Jiangzhou.
Takejiro, who was hit by an arrow in his forearm and thigh, stood indifferently holding his knife, completely ignoring the gurgling blood from the wound, as if he couldn't feel the pain.
"This is the snare used by the killers of Guelutai. Are you the people of Guelutai?" Wu Erlang's words were quite intriguing, "You and Wei Changpan are both remnants of the Zhang family in Qishan County... How could you be related to each other?"
Are those killers colluding into adultery?"
"A murderous knife can save people, but the key is in whose hands it is. Criminals use knives, and cooks also use knives. Does a cook mean that he is a criminal?"
The centipede was dead but not stiff, not to mention Wu Erlang's wounded counterattack. All the Jinzhou military attachés present were prepared and did not dare to relax at all. They were waiting for the snake venom simmering on the three-edged arrows to act. If Wu Erlang still
If they had the strength to counterattack, they would add a few more arrows, and the brother holding the knife in front would be their cover.
This was a decisive situation. The old military attachés of the Jinzhou frontier army used a plan that lasted for more than a month to lure Wu Erlang into it. It was unexpectedly successful. They only lost a piece of wire mesh, and Xiao Yao was left alone.
The mountain king was hit by an arrow with snake venom, and no one was even injured. It was great luck for them.
"The cook doesn't know how to use the martial arts of "Cicada Fu" and "Ant Possession"..."
The three-edged arrowhead with barbs and blood grooves was slowly pulled out, and the muscles where the arrow hit were everted, and the blood veins were torn, and a fountain-like flow of fishy black ink color gradually turned bright red.
No soldier in battle would want to pull out a triangular arrow after being hit by it. The blood groove on the arrowhead would drain away all the blood on their bodies. What's more, it would be extremely difficult to pull out the arrowhead after it pierces the flesh. The pain is not something ordinary people would experience.
If you can bear it, if you can survive this battle without dying, the medical officer accompanying the army will cut out the whole piece of flesh with the arrowhead after returning to the camp. If the limbs are okay, at most, the movement will be hindered in the future.
If the arrow hits the torso, it will be difficult even for gods to save it.
When Wu Erlang pulled out the crossbow arrow, it was the best time for Su Qilian and the others to put him to death. However, after hesitating for a moment, he still put down his half-raised hand. He had lost so much blood, even if the poison simmered on the arrowhead had no effect.
Apparently, this guy still has at least three or four points of fighting strength left, so it might be impossible to capture him alive.
On the eve of their departure, Tang Huaili, who personally led his troops to Liuxia County, came to see him again. What he did was not to renege on his word, but to offer them a more attractive price, in addition to those originally promised.
In addition to the weapons, there are also hundreds of mature horses. Although they are naturally very different from the mounts of the Jinzhou Border Cavalry, after all, in Jiangzhou where there is no large horse farm and pasture, these mature horses are extremely precious.
As smart as Tang Huaili, he would naturally not give away hundreds of cooked horses for no reason. Even if he reported the battle losses to eliminate the bandits in Xiaoyao Mountain, how could there be any reason to use cavalry to go up to Xiaoyao Mountain to suppress the bandits in dangerous terrain? But ordinary people
Suzhou officialdom
Even the officials with a little bit of intelligence could see the trick, but this Suzhou soldier was still willing to take such a big risk and offered these chips that Su Qilian couldn't refuse.
The premise is to capture Takejiro alive.
Hearing this, Su Qilian refused without thinking. Even he was amazed by the fighting power displayed by the King of Xiaoyaoshan in the Suzhou official files. Who would have thought that such a person could appear in the southern Jianghu of Dayao, which valued culture and suppressed military affairs.
Such a person who is not a disciple of a famous sect but has no inferior combat power? To capture him alive? To be honest, even Su Qilian believed that he was only 50% sure of besieging this person. If he was really determined to capture Wu alive
Erlang, it's not that there is no hope at all, but how many of these old brothers who have been together for most of their lives will be left dead?
One hundred mature horses, two months. Give him two months to train half a hundred cavalrymen who can beat those Suzhou bullshit cavalrymen howling. If they go to Jiangzhou to kill Gao Xu, they will have a lot more chances of winning.
....
But to put it bluntly, would his brother's life be worth it?
"Brother Su is concerned, how could Huai Li not know about it?" Tang Huai Li clapped his hands lightly and said, "Come out."
Then Tang Huai and Li Hu, the most inconspicuous person, came out and stood between Su Qilian and Su Qilian without saying a word.
"With the help of this person and a net that can catch elephants in the Nanmanzi tribe, if it is really impossible to capture Wu Erlang alive, there is no need to force it, just kill him on the spot."
What really made Su Qilian tempted were the words Tang Huaili said. Since it was a business that could protect capital, why not do it? Only the subordinates around him seemed a little weird. People around Su Qilian, such as Zhang Gu, Ma Dayuan and others, were vaguely aware of it.
There were some clues, but Su Qilian was uncharacteristically unwilling to investigate further.
"This net, as well as your poison, are all things inside the Kalutai, but you warriors still pretend not to know?"
Wu Erlang's wound after he pulled out the two three-edged arrows stopped bleeding at a speed visible to the naked eye. Dozens of seconds later, although the injury on the overturned flesh was still horrific, it might not be able to weaken Xiao Yao as expected.
The mountain king has most of his combat power.
Su Qilian's hesitation delayed the results they could have achieved at a very low cost. All the Jinzhou military attaches were anxiously waiting for their leader to give orders, but this was no longer his biggest concern. The young man holding the sword
I cast my gaze on him, filled with confusion and... disappointment.
The seriously injured young man looked at the elder he respected so much with disappointment in his eyes.
He knew that the elder would have many explanations and reasons to convince him when he questioned him, but this did not prevent him from feeling extremely disappointed at the moment, falling like a mountain into the lake of his heart, causing a huge wave of waves on the lake.
Huge waves and wind and rain.
Kalutai...is their enemy.
Wu Erlang looked left and right, and then suddenly laughed wildly and loudly.
