Xiaoqi

"Boom!"

In the darkness, Li Li couldn't see clearly the actual situation in the wilderness in the distance at the gate, but he was still able to sort out the clues from the various noises.

Teng Xiao and Fan Yong's [-] Qingqi were led by scouts to approach the more than [-] Han cavalry on the southern wasteland, and then rode their horses to shoot, wantonly shooting and killing this group of Han cavalry.

In the dark night, most of the more than [-] Han riders lengthened their torches and tied them to one of their calves; in this way, they could not only provide lighting, but also pull out the torches as weapons at critical moments.

However, Teng Xiao and Fan Yong's troops did not light torches, and relied on the horse's own night vision ability to move forward in the dark. They only controlled the general direction, but did not restrict the way the mounts traveled.

When they are approaching the enemy's Han cavalry, they can gallop on their horses, shoot at will, and shoot a large number of enemy cavalry.Because there are torches here, the light is very good when we shuttle among the enemy horses, and we can gallop on horses. The arrows shot are extremely accurate, almost one shot at a time, as long as you aim slightly at the place with the torch and shoot the arrow, it will not miss.

In an instant, hundreds of Han riders were shot off their horses, screaming and falling into the grass.

The leader of the enemy army saw that the invading enemy cavalry was so precise, and subconsciously regarded these people as barbarian light cavalry of foreign races. Only barbarian cavalry had such superb cavalry skills.What's more, the leader knew that the foreign Qingqi was on the wilderness north of the river. This situation had happened twice before, and it was agreed that everyone came to capture wild horses, and everything was based on real skills to capture wild horses.But these alien barbarians are the most untrustworthy, they will pick quarrels every time, and shoot and kill hundreds of their own tribes with excuses, which is extremely hateful!

Seeing that the barbarian iron cavalry shot and killed his own trilogy so recklessly this time, the leader's old and new hatred welled up in his heart, and then he shouted loudly, leading more than 1000 light cavalry in pursuit, and rushed straight to the wilderness north of the river. .

Unbelieving barbarians, who wanted to run away after killing me so many times, I will never give up this time!

"Boom!"

After crossing the river valley, Fan Yong and Teng Xiao led their Qing cavalry to rush into the northern wilderness non-stop, accompanied by hundreds of torches snatched from the enemy cavalry.

"boom!"

While riding the horse, Teng Xiao found that the enemy cavalry had been thrown behind for a certain distance, so he threw the torch in his hand casually and shouted: "Brothers, throw away the torch in your hand, we have completed the mission delivered by the lord." Mission, withdraw to the camp!"

Following Teng Xiao's order, everyone threw out torches one after another, quickly sneaked into the wasteland, and rushed to the camp in the upper valley.

A quarter of an hour later, when the figures of Teng Xiao and Fan Yong's subordinates appeared in the valley, three rockets were suddenly fired from the camp, shooting straight into the sky at a height of [-] meters.

"Boom boom boom!"

The moment the rocket flew into the air, dozens of large fireballs suddenly rolled down from the high slope of the wasteland in the north, and the surrounding wasteland was on fire at the same time, and the hundreds of torches that Teng Xiao and others threw out just now were already burning vigorously.

In an instant, fires broke out everywhere in the wilderness in the north, and dozens of fireballs rolled down. Wherever they passed, the fire blazed.

The whistling south wind seemed to speed up suddenly when the fire was ignited.

"what!"

A horrific scream pierced the night sky and echoed on the wasteland for a long time.

"Puff puff!"

Batch after batch of Qingqi who tried to flee to the river valley to temporarily avoid the fire were ruthlessly shot off by Li Li's soldiers who had already drawn their bows.

In addition, Li Li personally led a thousand iron cavalry along the wide river valley to search for fish that escaped the net, and took advantage of the situation to gather the frightened and scattered horses.

The fire started a prairie fire, and there were about [-] light cavalry from the four groups of enemy troops. Less than [-]% of the people who managed to escape in this fire were less than [-]%;

In the fire, human life is like a mustard, swallowed in an instant, and turned into ashes.

As the saying goes, fire and water have no mercy.

In troubled times, people are also ruthless.Only ruthless people can adapt to the rules of survival in troubled times and live longer.

Chapter 79 Strongbow Ballista

The skyrocketing fire burned all night, and the fire illuminated half of the sky.

Before dawn, Bocai led [-] soldiers to cut off the fire on the hillside where the fireball was mowed last night, and then extinguished the fire bit by bit.

Even so, the flat oval-shaped northern wasteland was completely reduced to ashes within a radius of twenty miles, and it looked like a dead silence.

Perhaps, as long as there is a heavy rain, the place can be revived again.

In the early morning, Li Li's army moved the camp to a valley in the wilderness to the south, where they built wooden sheds, stables and strong thatched huts.

The fire burned all night, and Li Li's soldiers and horses were also busy all night.

The night was not in vain.Gathered more than 2000 startled horses, captured more than 2000 Qiang, Huns, and Han Qingqi, and their own injuries were minimal, with only more than a hundred casualties, which can be described as a complete victory.

With this batch of war horses and prisoners, Li Li planned to temporarily leave them on the Xiutu Wasteland, and leave some luggage and [-] cavalry stationed here.

It's just that the generals who stayed here made it difficult for Li Li to make a decision for a while, and he hesitated.

Three thousand soldiers built stables and thatched huts very quickly. Five long shed stables and dozens of thatched huts were built in two or three hours.

After careful consideration and consultation with Li Xuan and others, Li Li finally appointed the 16-year-old Meng Chong as the captain, and led [-] cavalry to stay in Xiutu Valley, responsible for herding horses and guarding the prisoners.

In the afternoon, the army set out with light clothes and only [-] days' worth of grain and a set of ordnance, leaving all other luggage in the valley.

After the big fire on the Xiutu Wasteland burned out, Li Li treated Li Xuan more politely, calling him Mr. Li in private.

Li Xuan was greatly surprised by this, he was even ready to be punished by Li Li.

Because of contradicting the lord's decision in public, the guilt is not small.

What Li Xuan never expected was that Li Li smiled frankly and didn't care about it, and praised him for his courage to speak out and his loyalty. He also rewarded him with ten altars of fine wine and two pieces of high-quality fox furs.

In addition, Li Li also specially assigned Li Xuan a [-]-person personal army to protect the safety of him and his younger sister Li Xin.

It can be seen from this that Li Xuan's weight in Li Li's heart is getting heavier and heavier, and Li Xuan, who joined the army so far, deserves his name and has the right to speak that he should have when he joins the army.

At the same time, the two brothers Teng Xiao and Teng Yu performed bravely last night, and their amazing cavalry skills were enough to disdain the entire army.

Three arrows in unison, five arrows in a row, six arrows in unison, the endless emergence of superb archery skills dazzles and amazes people.

The most important thing is that within a hundred steps, the Teng brothers shot without fail, every time they shot through their throats, even if they fired six arrows at once, it was no exception.

It's really amazing physical strength, it can be called a sharpshooter!

What is particularly striking is that the strong bows used by the Teng brothers are different from the strong bows used by the big men nowadays.

The strong bows of the great Han Dynasty, nowadays there are only one-stone iron tire bows, two-stone strong bows and four-stone strong bows. The bow body is very beautiful, and the carved phoenix and dragon are very beautiful.

But the bows and arrows used by the Teng Brothers and Qing Zhuang of Taohua Village are unpretentious. The bows are bigger and longer than the Han bows, with a longer range and several times more power.

The strong bow used by Teng Xiao claimed to be a four-stone long bow from the pre-Qin period, while Teng Yu used a five-stone long bow.

At first glance, you may not see any difference between Qin bows and Han bows, but a stone in the Qin Dynasty is equivalent to about 120 kilograms today; One stone down is the current 96 catties.

In such a comparison, it is a world of difference.

One stone in the Qin Dynasty was more than two stones in the Han Dynasty. The strong bows of the Teng brothers are now eight-stone strong bows and ten-stone strong bows, which is simply unimaginable.

However, this kind of weight is really nice to use on salary.
