However, Huang Qiong did not expect that this three-stone bow, which was more used to boost morale, would be put to use as soon as he arrived at Longyou. Huang Qiong doesn't have that much benevolence and morality. In his opinion, when it comes to the battlefield, the most important thing is to win as quickly as possible with the least loss. Otherwise, in the previous life, why did the armies of so many countries train so many snipers?
What a sniper does, isn't it just assassination on the battlefield? Although there are no snipers now, this bow and arrow can also play the same role when needed. I just made a visual inspection. Although the two guys were hiding on my side, they were out of the range of the Badou Bow. But in his own hand, this three-stone bow is within the shooting range. Such a good opportunity, if you don't take action, how long will it take?
Huang Qiong steadily drew the three-stone bow, and the sharp arrows on the bowstring were pointed at the two of them. It was not that Tuoba Jiqian and Song Gongliang, who had good eyesight on the opposite side, did not miss it. It's just that neither of them took it seriously. In addition to pointing and laughing at Huang Qiong for daydreaming. He even predicted that Huang Qiong was destined to shoot into the air, and raised his horse forward.
Although their current location was a bit marginal, it was still outside the maximum range of the Badou Bow. The previous battlefield conditions had told them that although the bows and arrows in the hands of these officers and soldiers were better than theirs. But the best bow is no better than the Badou Bow. Moreover, there is currently no one to replace the officers and soldiers on the front. After fighting fiercely for a long time, a hint of fatigue was already showing.
The rain of arrows shot out, the range is getting closer and closer. The greater the number of bows and arrows, the more effort the archer expends each time he pulls the bowstring. As a human being, his physical strength is limited, and he cannot shoot his bow and arrow continuously without rest. Especially these eight hard bows consume a lot of physical strength of the archers. At this time, if you move your position forward, it will be safe and you can boost the morale of the entire army.
As for the sharp arrows in the King's hand aimed at the two of them, neither of them took it seriously. He was just a scholar. He took out a bow, just to show off and boost the morale of his team, which was already showing signs of fatigue. As for the bow in his hand, I'm afraid it doesn't even have the power to fight. It would be good if the arrows shot from this bow could cross their own formation.
Even though he stayed in the Prince's Mansion for nearly a year, Song Gongliang didn't know that the Prince of England was a martial arts master until he was kicked out. Not to mention the Badou Bow commonly used among Daqi elites, even the three-stone bow that ordinary people cannot pull can also be pulled easily. Even through previous practice in Zhengzhou, my archery skills are pretty good. At least his eyesight is much better than that of ordinary archers.
Both of them were waiting for the King of England to mock the King of England after he missed the target with his overestimating arrow. In order to completely disintegrate the enemy's morale and strive to determine victory or defeat in one fell swoop. Song Gongliang, who thought he knew the King of England thoroughly, was even secretly trying his best to prepare himself to laugh at the King of England if his arrow failed.
Regarding the two people opposite, who were mocking the same behavior, the smile on Huang Qiong's face was even greater. For him, the closer the two guys are, the better, and the greater his confidence. However, Huang Qiong was not too anxious to release the arrow, but was patiently waiting for the best time. What he wanted was to decide the outcome with one arrow, to kill these two people here in one fell swoop, rather than to let go of empty arrows here.
Just when Tuoba Jiqian raised the whip again, Huang Qiong loosened his fingers that had been tightly clasping the bow string. A sharp arrow went straight towards Tuoba Jiqian's door. Before Huang Qiong's soldiers could wake up from the surprise that this scholar-like King of England was actually able to draw a three-stone bow, the second sharp arrow in Huang Qiong's hand had already been shot. He left with Song Gongliang.
After all, Tuoba Jiqian grew up riding horses, although he had looked down upon the King of England's riding and archery skills before. But when the sharp arrow shot at him broke through the air, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He had no time to react, so he could only rein in his horse and let his mount rise up to block the sharp arrow for him. What he didn't expect was that this sharp arrow was so powerful.
Although he reacted promptly, the arrow was extremely powerful. After shooting directly through his neck, it was still powerful and nailed directly to his chest, smashing his protective goggles into pieces. Huang Qiong's arrow struck down, and Tuoba Jiqian fell to the ground immediately. Although there were war horses blocking him, and as a coach, he wore a few metal armors in the army, his injuries were not serious.
But after penetrating the horse's neck, an arrow shot into his chest still caused him to vomit blood. Although he knew how to ride horses and watch horses, Song Gongliang, who was actually just an ordinary scholar, did not have such good luck. The arrow hit his head directly, which was only wearing a hat. It shot through his left eye and shot right through his head.
The scene in front of them shocked all the officers and soldiers of the two armies present. Tuoba Jiqian's personal soldiers, who were his nephews, rushed forward to rescue their master. But he didn't expect that the continuous arrows fired from the opposite side would cause heavy casualties to these soldiers. For a moment, no one else could come to the rescue. The scene in front of him made Tuoba Jiqian furious and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
After shouting Deming, he fell into coma. It turns out that among the soldiers who stepped forward to rescue Tuoba Jiqian, one of them was none other than Tuoba Deming, the eldest son that Tuoba Jiqian loved and valued the most. This eldest son was profound, talented, and good at maneuvering. At least half of the reason why Tuoba Jiqian was able to successfully raise an army was planned by this son.
Even the wives he married from various tribes had already given birth to several sons for him. But this eldest son has always been considered by him as the best choice for heir. Originally, he had thought of taking his eldest son with him to practice for a period of time, and then letting him go out to lead the troops and run the army alone. Unexpectedly, in this first battle, he lost his most beloved son, who was also his best assistant.
Tuoba Jiqian, who was already seriously injured, couldn't help but become furious when he saw his son being nailed to the ground by an arrow. And even though he fell into a coma, he didn't know that after Huang Qiong's first arrow was dodged by him, the real first target of the subsequent arrows was still him. If it weren't for the corpse of the war horse beside him, which had a certain shielding effect on him, he would be the one who turned into a corpse at this time.
As for his most beloved eldest son, Tuoba Deming was just brought along by Huang Qiong. In one breath, Huang Qiong shot out dozens of arrows from the quiver carried by the soldiers around him before he stopped. And with Ouyang Shan's talent, how could he not seize such an excellent opportunity? As early as the moment Tuoba Jiqian fell, a burst of cheers broke out among the officers and soldiers.
The morale, which had declined due to exhaustion, was revived in an instant. But their opponents, the party members, had their own leader shot and killed by the enemy. At this moment, their life and death were unknown, and their morale was declining rapidly. Seeing this opportunity, Ouyang Shan didn't even have time to ask Huang Qiong for instructions, and immediately commanded the entire army to kill him. The ones leading the way were the three hundred cavalry who had been recharging their energy before.
At this time, because the life and death of the coach was unknown, the morale of the Dangxiang Jingqi was in chaos. Although their strength was still far greater than that of the troops led by Ouyang Shan. But they couldn't resist it, so Ouyang Shan personally led the charge. As soon as they fought, the entire army collapsed. They were chased by a thousand cavalry led by Ouyang Shan along the way and suffered heavy casualties. They could only drag Tuoba, who was unconscious at this time, back to the north as hard as they could.
Huang Qiong used a three-stone hard bow and three arrows to seriously injure Tuoba Jiqian with one arrow from an extremely long distance, kill his important adviser Song Gongliang with one arrow, and kill Tuoba Jiqian's most valued eldest son and his chosen successor Tuoba with one arrow. Deming. Later, there were rumors in the army that the King of England was extremely powerful and could shoot a three-stone bow with perfect accuracy. With these three arrows alone, five thousand party members were defeated.
For a time, it was widely spread among the military. In the former Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui captured the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows, and today there is a British prince who captured Ningxia with three arrows. If the King of England had not shot these three arrows, it would have destroyed the morale of the enemy troops and boosted the prestige of the officers and soldiers. Considering that the officers and soldiers were exhausted from fighting at that time, we still don’t know what the consequences will be. However, Huang Qiong just laughed it off after hearing this rumor, but did not take it to heart at all.
Of course, these things are not what Huang Qiong, who is currently focusing on the battle, can think of. He would never have thought that after he had shot so many arrows, he would be mythologized in the end. You know, when inspecting the battlefield afterwards, Huang Qiong regretted that Tuoba Jiqian was able to escape the volley of arrows he shot.
At this time, Huang Qiong did not expect that the arrows he shot would cause such a big reaction later. After Ouyang Shan's entire army attacked, Huang Qiong did not participate in the pursuit. But he ignored the dissuasion of his bodyguards and followed him from a distance with a hundred soldiers left by Ouyang Shan. There are some things and things that he still needs to take a good look at and appreciate.
And just when these defeated troops finally escaped to the bank of Gan River, they did not want to run into the King of Ying, so he came to Huanzhou with only a thousand light cavalry. For fear that something might happen to the prince on the way, he immediately led his men and horses out to meet the two thousand troops and horses commanded by Feng Zhoushan. The defeated army, which was now powerless and unwilling to fight, could not withstand the charge of Feng Zhoushan's two thousand cavalry who were waiting for work.
After waiting for these remnant soldiers to be defeated, they finally crossed the Gan River, which had little water due to successive years of drought. With the desperate support of the reinforcements led by Tuoba Daxin himself, they barely stabilized their position. At this time, of the 5,000 troops and horses that Tuoba Jiqian personally commanded, only less than 700 were able to return safely. The rest either died under the sword of the officers or were scattered to unknown places.
After learning that the five thousand cavalry, which gathered almost all the elites of the Pingxia tribe, were actually defeated by the official army's one thousand troops. Even in the past, Tuoba Daxin, who was known as the number one warrior in the Pingxia tribe, did not dare to stay in Huanzhou any longer and planned to break camp and evacuate overnight. But just as he started to evacuate, Feng Zhoushan and Ouyang Shan, who had already arrived, joined forces to attack at night.
For this night attack, Feng Zhoushan and Ouyang Shan, with Huang Qiong's consent, mobilized almost in full force. In the entire Huanzhou City, only a hundred soldiers were left to protect the British King. The rest of the troops were all dispatched. Even the thousand cavalry led by Ouyang Shan were dispatched regardless of their fatigue from the long journey. The two armies, one on the left and the other on the right, set fire everywhere while fiercely attacking the rebel center.
Although Tuoba Daxin is known as the best warrior in the Pingxia tribe, his personal bravery on the battlefield does not mean that he is also a high-level commander. Facing Tuoba Jiqian, who was seriously injured and unconscious, Tuoba Daxin, who was also confused at this time, only wanted to escape from these monster-like officers and soldiers as soon as possible. Apart from some sentry posts, no preparations were made for possible night attacks by the government troops.
