Zhou Qing looked at Ding Heng, who was running towards him, and an alarm went off in his heart.
Having been in the arena for several years, he can be said to be extremely accurate in predicting various dangers.
At this moment, he instantly judged that he should be no match for anyone fighting alone.
From this, he realized that it was impossible for him to really listen to the man in blue robe and go to a duel with him.
Phew——
Zhou Qing pursed his lips and blew a clear whistle.
Then the knights who were chasing the traitors and deserters in the military formation stopped their movements instantly when they heard it, and quickly gathered towards the place where the sound came from.
In an instant, more than thirty people gathered around Zhou Qing.
At this time, Ding Heng had just arrived nearby and was about to approach.
"Target the man in blue robe, five rounds of rapid fire!"
Zhou Qing drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at Ding Heng who was leaping over with Qinggong. He shouted to the soldiers around him and took the lead in releasing the arrow.
Many knights also cooperated tacitly.
Some people saw their general's movements, and without even giving orders, they already raised their arrows and aimed them at Ding Heng.
When I heard the order, I shot it without saying anything.
At this time, Ding Heng had just jumped into the air. After all, he was seventy or eighty meters in front of Zhou Qing, ready to jump over to find this junior to practice hard.
But a person like him who is used to fighting in the world would never expect that his opponent would be so ungrateful to martial arts.
When faced with challenges, just don’t dare to fight alone.
He also learned from the behavior of those lackeys of the imperial court, bullying the few with the advantage of many, and injuring others with strong bows and powerful crossbows.
Brush brush brush——
Zhou Qing used a three-stone strong bow, which even came with internal power to increase the power of the arrow. The other knights also used strong bows with a weight of more than one stone. Those who still had some internal energy in their bodies also added internal energy.
When these arrows lose their power, it is really like Lu Yuan shooting the Baiyan elder of the Five Poison Sect in the Miao village with the surname Bai a few years ago when Wugang suppressed the rebellion. If it hits the human body, one arrow can blow a hole.
Ding Heng is also knowledgeable.
I have seen the power of the imperial army's strong bows and crossbows before. How dare you take on them head on now?
He roared angrily, and in unison with his steps, he made several bends in mid-air to avoid the incoming arrows.
However, this side narrowly escaped the concentrated fire. In an instant, the last group of knights who were ordered to shoot arrows also aimed at him, and more than ten arrows flew towards him.
Ding Heng had no choice but to strengthen his internal strength again and quickly evaded.
After a period of embarrassing tumbling, Ding Heng fell to the ground from mid-air, finally landing on his feet and gaining some support.
But before he could balance his body, Zhou Qing and others, who had finished shooting arrows earlier, missed and shot a second wave of arrows.
Ding Heng had just released his strength at this time, which was when the previous energy had been lost and the remaining energy had not yet been generated. In a hurry, he could no longer use Qinggong to dodge.
In desperation, he had no choice but to pull out the sword from his waist and cut off several incoming arrows with a clanging sound.
Then with the other free hand, he waved his long fist, and with great strength, he blasted arrows in other directions.
By coincidence, Ding Heng smashed the arrow shot by Zhou Qing with his fist.
With Zhou Qing's second-rate internal strength and a three-stone strong bow, he could shoot an arrow with all his strength. How powerful would that be?
Ding Heng clashed with Qiang Wu with physical fists. The fist wind generated by his internal force was instantly broken by the arrow. Then the sharp arrow was aimed at the middle finger of his fist and disappeared with a "bang".
puff!
There was only an explosion, and then a scream came from Ding Heng's mouth, and his body flew backwards instantly.
In the sudden flash of blood, his left fist had turned into a ball of rotten flesh, dripping with blood.
Being shot away by an arrow, Ding Heng also lost his balance. His other hand was also in severe pain and he could no longer swing his sword to resist the arrow.
At this time, another round of arrows flew in. Although he instinctively tried his best to avoid it, three arrows still missed his body.
Fortunately, these knights have little internal strength, and the previous two rounds of shooting have exhausted their internal strength. At this time, the arrow shot missed and could no longer hit the flesh, causing holes to explode.
But even so.
The missed arrow also caused a lot of damage to Ding Heng, further aggravating his injuries.
This is not the most deadly.
What was even more fatal was that another arrow missed his body, causing his body to lose balance further and further reducing Ding Heng's reflexes.
So when Zhou Qing's third arrow came in the next round, he couldn't even dodge. He could only watch as the arrow whistling in the wind missed and hit his neck.
Then with a bang, half of his neck was blown open.
Then several more arrows were inserted into his body, nailing the man to the ground.
After several rounds of shooting, a second-rate master who was originally superb in light kung fu and powerful in martial arts died under the arrow array of the sergeants.
It can be seen that no matter how strong the internal strength of martial arts is, under the powerful bow and crossbow, it is still a mortal body.
At this time, the facts once again verified that Lu Yuan's correct idea of building an army with archery skills.
"madness."
Seeing that the blue-robed master was killed by an arrow, Zhou Qing put away his iron bow and sneered.
Then without looking at Ding Heng's body, he turned his horse's head, continued to pick up the sword, and led the knights around him to continue killing the fleeing rebels.
It was as if killing a second-rate top master was of no importance to him.
Maybe it really is insignificant.
…
On the observation deck, Qiao Xiuyuan watched as Ding Heng, whom he had high hopes for, rushed to the battlefield. Before he could fight the green-robed young man, he was swiftly led by the knight and shot into a hornet's nest with random arrows.
His face, which had only improved a little, suddenly turned ugly again.
"waste!"
Qiao Xiuyuan punched the guardrail of the railing. With a kacha sound, the fence originally made of thick wood broke into two sections in an instant.
The people around him looked unhappy when they saw it.
Ding Heng's failure seemed to slap them in the face, telling them with the cruelest reality that the expectation they had just imagined to reverse the situation with high-level combat power was simply in vain.
They don't have top-level combat capabilities.
But with those elite soldiers and those strong bows and crossbows, what if they were second-rate masters?
Under the rain of arrows, one still has to drink hatred.
Ding Heng's death is a living example.
Are the martial arts skills of many people present not as good as Ding Heng’s?
Even if there are people who are more powerful than Ding Heng, they ask themselves at this time, if they can escape alive after encountering what Ding Heng just encountered, it would be considered good.
It is simply impossible to capture and kill the green-robed young man under the protection of the sergeant.
Thinking of this bloody reality, everyone's anger suddenly dropped a lot, and they could no longer speak.
"General."
In the deathly silence, the original general finally spoke, and he was heard to say: "Elder Ding was unlucky this time, so he used the Jianghu method to deal with the fighting in the army.
He thought that if he directly approached the green-robed young man, he would fight him.
But they don’t know that soldiers of our generation have always despised fighting alone and admired fighting in numbers.
So this time he rushed forward rashly, unprepared, and was directly shot by the green-robed young general who gathered his troops and shot him with an arrow formation.
It was negligence that led to this failure. "
From his professional point of view, the red-armored general continued to analyze: "So if we prepare in advance, wear iron armor, and bring elite warriors with us, we will also use strong armor, heavy shields, and strong bows and crossbows.
Then if you advance slowly, you will definitely be able to engage the enemy at hand-to-hand combat.
When the time comes for a close-quarters melee, archery will be of no use. Elder Yiding's martial arts skills can defeat the opponent.
And the most important reason why Elder Ding was defeated so quickly just now was because the young man in green robe was so powerful in shooting.
Otherwise, if it were those ordinary knights, let alone these more than thirty people, even if there were a hundred people gathered together, even if Elder Ding could not get into them, he could still escape intact.
Therefore, martial arts masters still have a great advantage against ordinary soldiers. "
After hearing these words, the anger on Qiao Xiuyuan's face subsided slightly.
Some other martial arts masters also followed the description of the red-armored general. After thinking about it carefully, they suddenly felt at ease.
really.
Ding Heng just now suffered the loss of underestimating the enemy. Otherwise, with the opponent's Qinggong martial arts, he would never have been shot to death with just a few hits.
But even so, the green-armored young general's archery skills were indeed extremely powerful.
Looking back at this moment, the masters were still a little disappointed.
But I made up my mind that when I encounter the opponent in the battle formation in the future, I must be careful and try my best to avoid him.
You must not follow in Ding Heng's footsteps, otherwise it would be too unfair.
"Have you heard what General Cao said?"
Qiao Xiuyuan calmed down his emotions at this time, withdrew his eyes from the battlefield, looked at the subordinates behind him, especially the elders in the sect who had strong martial arts skills in the past, and said with a somewhat cold voice: "I will charge into the formation again in the future. Don't look down on the people of the world just because you are strong in martial arts?
Elder Ding's lessons learned from the past are there.
If you don't want to be like him and become a hedgehog, then restrain your arrogance, wear heavy armor honestly, bring elite soldiers, and move with the army.
War is not the battle in the rivers and lakes we used to have. There are people who tell you the morality of the rivers and lakes and are willing to fight one on one.
The purpose of the battlefield is to win, do whatever it takes, do everything you can to kill the enemy, and make yourself the victorious party.
Here, many people fight against one person, and a military formation fights against stray soldiers. Although bravery is important, coordination is more important.
If you want to be a hero, then leave the army and join the world.
Here, there are only warriors, no heroes. "
When Qiao Xiuyuan spoke, his eyes focused on those dressed as warriors.
Before today, because it had been planned for a long time, the Qixing Sect's uprising was extremely smooth, and in just a few days, it occupied a whole mansion.
But during the uprising, those martial arts masters played the greatest role.
After all, within the city, whether it is assassination and beheading, or taking over the city in street battles, martial arts masters are much better than ordinary sergeants.
The huge victory went to the heads of many people, and even Qiao Xiuyuan himself was a little carried away.
This resulted in the entire army advocating personal martial arts as the most important thing. The more powerful the martial arts, the higher their status.
Although there is a sense of superiority and inferiority among sergeants, the charlatanism is stronger. They call each other brothers and brothers when they see their superior officers, and call them eldest brothers and leaders far more than they call them generals and captains.
This army's atmosphere of becoming a gangster has profoundly affected the entire army.
Qiao Xiuyuan, who was accustomed to the world because of his background, didn't feel anything wrong with this kind of custom, and even felt quite comfortable.
But at this time, a tragic defeat and the death of an elder suddenly woke him up.
After all, he is the master of a sect, and now he is a person who has set up a rebellion. Naturally, he will not lack the resourcefulness and decisiveness he deserves.
It was then that the changes began.
As the head and lord, Qiao Xiuyuan had already spoken, but no one else dared to say more.
At this time, they all responded: "We will obey the order of the leader (general)."
…
"Okay, okay!"
On the battlefield, Lu Yuan rode a horse and saw the disciple who had just retreated. At this time, he boasted loudly: "As expected of my disciple, he is so brave. It is indeed right to let you serve as the vanguard of the army this time." "
"They are all elite soldiers trained by Master, and those thieves are too vulnerable." Zhou Qing's armor robe was stained with a lot of blood. At this time, he took off his helmet, his hair was sticky with sweat, and he had a humble smile. road.
"Is it necessary to be humble in front of your teacher?"
Lu Yuan looked at the disciple who looked more and more like him. He was relieved and at the same time couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. However, he did not grasp this point, but asked: "I heard that you just shot and killed a second-rate master of the bandit army with random arrows?"
Zhou Qing nodded and said: "That's true. That thief is too stupid. He wants to find me to fight alone in the chaos. He is really naive.
I am the commander of an army, with thousands of troops and horses under my command. How noble is that?
How could he be like him and show off his bloody bravery for a moment?
So according to the master's previous teachings, he directly summoned the sergeants, formed a military formation, and killed them with random arrows. "
Seeing that his disciple was able to apply his teachings flexibly, Lu Yuan nodded in approval: "Well done. Those charlatans can only show their bravery for a moment. Even if they are some old foxes, their actions and actions are still full of charlatanism. One way to think and act.
But you, my master and my disciples are different from them.
Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, he is also a veteran in the army.
Facing these guys with only three feet of green sword, fighting these people to the death is the worst option.
Since we have thousands of troops at our disposal, we just need to use them flexibly. It is our duty as a general to command our soldiers to fight with others.
Those jobs of carrying swords and going into battle to kill people are only done by the soldiers below.
Therefore, it would be foolish to meet these Jianghu people and talk to them about Jianghu morality.
It is wise to call the generals and soldiers to form a military formation and surround and kill them all. "
At this time, Lu Yuan resumed his duties as a teacher and taught his disciples lessons.
After explaining his reasoning and experience, he then looked at the battlefield.
At this time, the five thousand troops sent by the rebels to intercept them had been completely defeated.
Some soldiers fled on the battlefield and were being chased by the knights he brought.
The wilderness was already littered with corpses, and blood flowed all over the ground. Broken swords and broken spears were everywhere, and flags fell to the ground, telling a song of lamentation.
In this battle, no fewer than three thousand thieves were killed and more than a thousand were captured.
The rebel army has lost all courage.
