Chapter 10: Wind and horned bows
Liu Muyu said respectfully in a tone: "What do you want us to help you?"
Gu Liubai said: "Just last month, a group of horse thieves robbed a batch of goods near Bailongdui. There was some sky iron inside the batch of goods. One of the shells was dark green sky iron. Actually, I wanted it. I want you to get it back for me."
Liu Muyu thought for a while and said, "The horse thieves in Bailongdui are difficult to deal with, and we will die a lot of people."
Gu Liubai said calmly: "I told you just now that the secret I will tell you is more important to you than those mares."
Shulhan's brows frowned deeply.
Their Fire Dragon was the property left over from the Turks when they were strong in the past. Both speed and endurance were absolutely top-notch. But most importantly, the Fire Dragon's extremely strong lower limbs can withstand the impact of their true qi burst.
These two hundred black cavalry are already the last capital they rely on for survival on this land.
However, those cunning enemies also knew this very well. Under the instruction of the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs, even if they could save money, they could not obtain the war horse that could be replaced by the aging Fire Dragon.
Losing their original territory and wealth, it is even more impossible for them to breed war horses close to Fire Dragon.
Only he, Khan, military advisor and other few people knew that the mares were carrying the most mares with the most mares, their hope of no longer weakening, and their lifeblood!
It took them an astonishing price to mix the mares into the caravan. What other secrets are there that are more important than these mares?
"I promise you the terms."
Liu Muyu looked at Gu Liubai's calm eyebrows and eyes. He was usually very cautious, but he only took a breath to make a decision.
Then he stood up.
Shulhan stood up without saying a word.
"Our previous grudges were written off." Liu Muyu said proudly: "If that piece of heavenly iron is still in the hands of the thieves from Bailongdui, we will get that piece of heavenly iron in fifteen days. Then you tell me the secret and I will give you this piece of heavenly iron."
Chen Tu was a little surprised.
He originally thought that Liu Muyu would ask some questions about those mares. After all, if he had changed, he would definitely want to know which link was wrong. However, Liu Muyu didn't ask anything. His extremely straightforward answer contained strong confidence. The black-armored warrior who had been silent also gave him the same feeling.
These people, known as mad dogs, are far stronger than he had thought before.
But what does that piece of sky iron mean? I didn't say it in advance last night.
He frowned and decided to question Gu Shiwu a little later.
The willow rain walks out of the Spring Breeze Tower.
The sun shone on him, and he was in a trance for a moment.
Is the one I just talked to with is really just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy?
However, the next moment, an instinct that was sharpened in the sea of corpses and blood made a bitter cold surge in the depths of his body, and his entire body almost subconsciously shrank.
laugh!
A feather arrow flew over his head as soon as he shrank, falling hard on the mountain road ahead of him, stirring up a piece of ice and snow!
When the ice and snow splashed, Shulhan, who had been silent, had already kept Liu Muyu's body behind him very calmly.
The true energy in his body did not even show any slight waves.
But when he glanced at the arrow that was hit, he had already determined that Liu Muyu could escape the arrow himself.
He just has to deal with what happened next.
His hand was on the black hilt.
His eyes were as calm as water.
"It's not our people."
"It was the group of people who came last night."
"It should be fine."
When the sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded, Chen Tu and Gu Liubai had already completed the conversation.
Shulhan is ready to kill.
Before this, he would solve all the arrows shot at the military advisor.
However, after this arrow, he clearly heard the sound of strings coming from the murderous air, but no arrows shot towards them.
While he was surprised, he saw three people rolling down on the high snow slope, and blood formed deep marks on the snow slope they rolled down, just like someone wrote a slender Sichuan character in cinnabar.
The entire Mingbaipo had long woken up because of the arrival of these two Turkic people, but at this time, even though he saw three people rolling down from the snow slope, most of them had not yet reacted to what had happened.
"It's not only them who have the Arrow Master." Chen Tu's voice sounded.
He and Gu Liubai walked to Liu Muyu's side.
Shurhan still didn't say anything, and reached out to point behind Chen Tu.
People who have been through the battlefield naturally have a natural tacit understanding. Chen Tu shook his head directly and said, "It is not good to go back to the building to hide. It is better to deal with the enemy if you see it. It's okay, we'll send you out now."
At this moment, Liu Muyu, who was still in shock, shouted softly, "Fire Flying Dragon!"
Their two war horses and two fire-like dragons tied to the horse-tie pile at the bottom of the slope.
Behind the horse-tie stake, there was a fallen cypress.
Covered by the snow, the gray-black branches of the Nether Cypress are completely extended, and the two fiery red horses waiting quietly form a beautiful picture with them.
However, Liu Muyu saw four people walking towards the two fire dragons at this time.
The four of them were all wearing gray robes, with their heads slightly lowered and quiet. Not only did they have similar figures, but their walking postures were also very similar, and their right hands were slowly lifting up.
Both of them held a crossbow in their right hands.
Their target is obviously the two fire dragons.
Shulhan's heart sank.
It was a divine arm crossbow that the Tang border army was good at using. Within two hundred steps, it had a great killing power.
At this time, the four people were only about 150 steps away from the two fire dragons. It should be foolproof to shoot at this distance.
But at this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a white knee-length short shirt walked out of the western road.
Mingbaipo is formed by landslides. The mountain path to the west is formed by some herders who come to exchange things on weekdays. Above the intersection, there are many rocks like huge eagle beaks. In this kind of ice and snowy weather, ice edges and gravel fall from the cliff at any time, which is very dangerous. Ordinary people will definitely walk on the avenue in the middle of the canyon and will not walk on this path.
The middle-aged man had a fair skin. Although he was wearing what Chang'an people said to be a Hu costume, he was very scholarly and looked like a Confucian scholar.
A piece of white things appeared diagonally behind his shoulders. It looked like a piece of ice and snow at first glance, but when you looked closely, it was the snow-white hilt, and it seemed that he was carrying a sword.
The four crossbow holders were calm in their eyebrows, but when they saw the middle-aged man who had entered their sight, their bodies still trembled slightly.
It is impossible to walk through the mountain road to the west, unless... unless the colleagues who were lying there are dead.
No warning message came. Those strong men who were best at lurking and assassinating and silently killed others were actually killed quietly?
They were shocked and did not notice an old man behind them.
Three caravans came to Mingbaipo in the middle of the night. Because they came too late, there were many caravans here to avoid the snowstorm. The caves that could be used to accumulate goods have been occupied, so the three caravans only picked up an open space on the edge of the main road of Mingbaipo to camp. The goods were all piled up on the north side of the camp to block the wind.
The snow stopped completely before dawn. The goods accumulated by the three caravans were covered with a thick layer of snow, but at this time an old man came out of these goods.
The four crossbow holders could not see the scene of the old man breaking through the snow, but many people who were ready to go saw it at this time.
They felt absurd and unbelievable at the same time.
The snow covering these goods was integrated, which means that the old man had quietly hid in when the goods were piled up last night.
How did he do it by avoiding the eyes and ears of so many people?
I lurked here for the middle of the night. What should I do when I rushed out at this time?
The shock and confusion of many people lies only in the distance between him and the four crossbow holders.
Everyone thought that the old man rushed out at this time, and the target was the four crossbow holders, but anyone could easily judge that the distance between him and the four crossbow holders was more than three hundred steps.
If his purpose was to prevent these four crossbow holders from killing Fire Dragon, it would seem to be a little too late to rush out now.
However, in the next moment, everyone who thought so suddenly stopped breathing!
It was like the shrill north wind at night was blowing again, and it was like a ghost crying. The chill in the air was like a forceful collision with the four crossbow holders as the guidance of the sound!
puff!
The shrill sound of the wind turned into a dull sound at the same time.
The four crossbow holders burst into blood on their backs and all rushed forward to the ground.
"How is that possible!"
Not only those who were ready to go, but even Shulhan, who saw this, took a breath of air.
In his understanding, among all the arm crossbows, whether it is the Tang army or the Dashi, Uighurs, there are only a very small number of elite Tang army soldiers equipped with an arm crossbow called the Shansang Crossbow, which can have a range of more than three hundred steps.
However, this kind of mountain mulberry crossbow can only be shot alone, and the string strength is so strong that it cannot be pulled open with your arms. You must put the bow on the ground and step on it with your feet before you can get an arrow.
At a distance of more than three hundred steps, it is impossible to accurately shoot four people in an instant.
At this time, Shurhan was condescending, only seeing the silhouette of the old man with white hair and beard clearly, but he could clearly see that there was no crossbow arrow in his hand, and the arrow was shot out from the sleeves of the old man's hands!
A sleeve crossbow, and can fire four arrows at a time?
