During Ruozhou's trip, the Shenshao Battalion was full of elites, but the weapon configurations of the several troops were completely different.
The two teams around Nintendo and Xu Hanshan were responsible for guarding. They were equipped with thick-backed horse-cutting (*) knives. They were heavy and had a wide blade, which was good for defense. They were used for close combat. The group led by Gu Xiuping mostly carried short folding blades, which were light in weight, short in length, and quick in attack, making them easier to attack. In addition, Xia Chenghuan also gave him half of the more than a thousand crossbowmen.
Different from the ordinary serial crossbows in the Great Chinese Army, the archers accompanying them this time were equipped with small round crossbows specially made for close range encirclement and killing.
This kind of special chain crossbow is only two feet long, and the arrow box takes up most of it. The special short crossbow is a four-inch-long triangular cluster. One box can hold fifty. Each button of the mechanism can fire five crossbows. He will be killed within 50 steps, and he will die within 50 steps. It can be called a "human life harvesting tool"
There is a hidden weapon in the world called Xiujian, which can fire twelve crossbows in a row and has a range of about thirty steps. It has always been a feared evil weapon, and its user is a shame in the world of upright people.
Just imagine, someone who has worked so hard to practice his martial arts can be killed by you with just a few arrows from behind. If not, what else is this? At least, the sect will definitely not allow its disciples to use it.
And this small round crossbow can fire fifty rounds in a row and can shoot fifty steps away. It is more than ten times more powerful than the sleeve arrow. It is really a real "killing weapon"!
After the sound of the gong, the soldiers of the Shenshao Battalion who were still besieging the enemy hurriedly withdrew. Everyone in the Xu family thought they were saved from a desperate situation and were secretly rejoicing. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, dense rain of arrows came flying.
"Suyan!" Xu Xiaoshi was the first to wake up, but it was too late. He saw several short arrows falling on Aizi and roared out.
As soon as he called out, the rain of arrows suddenly stopped. It turned out that Gu Xiuping made a "stop" gesture behind him. It's not that he suddenly felt pity, but except for Xu Xiaoshi, everyone on the opposite side was hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Looking at the scene, these people would most likely not survive. Although the remaining dozens of people were still struggling for their lives, they It has no fighting power and is not worth a short arrow.
As for Xu Xiaoshi, his martial arts skills were far superior to those of the others. There had been at least thirty or forty arrows fired at him in the previous round, but they failed to injure any of his vital points. Gu Xiuping knew that it would not be easy to kill such a master, even with these guys in hand.
At this moment, his escape route was cut off, and he didn't want to spend any time here.
Xu Xiaoshi watched his beloved son fall to the ground with blood gushing out after being hit by an arrow, and his heart ached extremely. I thought that both my father and son were going to die here today. Unexpectedly, the arrow rain suddenly stopped. Seeing that Xu Suyan seemed to be still alive, he hurriedly
He rushed to him, picked him up, jumped up hard, and disappeared on the roof of the alley in an instant.
At this moment, there was a sound of sharp objects breaking through the air in the darkness - "Whoosh~~~!"
Hang Tianping, who had just retreated, stood at the front and could easily catch the incoming object by listening to the sound and identifying its position.
It was actually a loud arrow!
"Sir, there is a note on the ringing arrow!" Hang Tianping said as he walked over.
Gu Xiuping took the note, approached the torch and quickly spread it out to read, with a ferocious expression on his face as he said ecstatically: "Quick! Quick! The sentinels will lead the way to Juheyuan!"
...
Tonight, the Xu family is planning a big event. Except for keeping some people to guard against the guests, the rest of the children are out in full force.
There is only one person who has neither stayed in the Guest Garden nor been sent to work outside.
As early as the end of Haishi, Xu Suye had rested, but the noise caused by the Xiaojinshan sect was so loud that with his strong ears, he could naturally hear it in his light sleep. At first, he wanted to ask the reason, but before he could go out, he was blocked back by the aunt who arrived at an unknown time. His biological mother Wang died young, and his aunt Hao took care of his daily life and food since he was a child. Although Xu Suye had an unruly temper, he was always respectful in front of Hao, and he had never disobeyed her words.
"Suye, don't pay attention to anything going on outside tonight. Listen to my aunt and go back and rest in peace." Before Xu Suye could speak, Hao stopped him.
Xu Xiaoyu was obsessed with martial arts in his early years and married very late. Hao was his first wife and she was already in her sixties. The house is not at peace tonight. Someone from several sects living here actually made a move against the guest in the house. She was awakened by the sound of gold weapons clashing with each other. As the mother of the Xu family, she was about to mediate the dispute, but Xu Xiaoyu arranged to come here.
"Auntie, what happened at home?" Xu Jinye was worried about the conflict between Yufeng Escort Agency and the Xu family, so he couldn't help but ask.
Mr. Hao shook his head with a smile and replied: "What can happen? With your father and two uncles, there can't be any trouble."
Her husband's words were unclear, and Hao didn't ask a single question. She didn't know any more about the Xu family than Xu Suye did.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't chat for a few words, and the house became quiet.
After a few serious words, Mr. Hao left. Before leaving, he assigned two young men to guard the garden gate, obviously worried that his nephew would not listen to the advice.
A wise child is better than his mother.
Although Hao is not Xu Suye's biological mother, she has taken care of him for more than ten years and has a deep understanding of his character.
After hearing the footsteps and concluding that the aunt had left, Xu Suye gently opened the door, turned over and avoided the guard and left his small garden. It's not that he was sincere, but he was really worried about Yi Qingxin's safety. How could he sleep without finding out what happened?
"Kongzui" is a large guest garden, facing the main residence in the north and south. In the past few days, Xu Jinye walked by it intentionally or unintentionally. However, this time was different from the past. From a distance, he saw dozens of sword-wielding martial artists standing outside the courtyard.
Those people are all descendants of the Xu family.
"What are they doing outside the garden late at night? Qingxin? Uncle wouldn't..." Thinking of this possibility, Xu Jinye's heart rose in his throat.
Love makes the mind faint, and this is always the case with love between men and women.
Especially after seeing Yi Qingxin shed tears a few days ago, Xu Jinye felt that the roots of his love had been planted and his heart finally belonged to him. When there was a conflict in the house tonight, the first thing he thought about was whether Yi Qingxin, who was living in the guest house, was involved in the conflict and was injured.
"What's the matter?" Although he was "fainted", Xu Jinye was not really stupid. He walked to a group of people outside the garden and asked with a calm expression.
These disciples of the Xu family naturally knew that Xu Jinye was the son of the head of the family, and that a direct lineage was coming out of the Xu Mansion. The leader stepped forward and bowed to report: "Second Young Master, some of the juniors from the Yufeng Escort Company had a few words with our people, and now we have settled down." Rest."
Hearing that no action was taken, Xu Jinye felt relieved.
"The Yufeng Escort Bureau has an extraordinary position in the world. I will go in and make amends to Senior Yi."
The middle-aged man in the lead felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and muttered: "This is not easy to handle. The elder said that no one inside can leave tonight, and no one outside can enter."
Naturally, things like rebellion cannot be told clearly to everyone in the family. Therefore, the man only got this password from Xu Xigong.
The young master said, "The eldest master said, no one inside can go out tonight, and no one outside can come in." That means no one inside can go out tonight, and no one outside can come in. Enter.
Xu Jinye scolded in a cold voice: "Idiot, am I a stranger?" Seeing that the man was a little moved, he took advantage of the situation and said, "If you don't get out of the way, there will be a rift between the two families. See if I won't let you go!"
At this point, the man dared to stop him, so he hesitated and got out of the way.
...
Seeing Duanmu Yu smile and say "The Emperor and Heaven will not fail you", Mu Ji knew there was good news and asked hurriedly: "Young Master, has the Xu family captured the military camp?"
