Late Tang

There were only ten bandits, two less than Li Jing and the others.But in the first round of the bandit's attack, several people from Li Jing's side had already been shot.Amidst Wang Liang's pig-killing cry, the young men who had been following Wang Liang became even more flustered at this time. Some ran to pull Wang Liang, some turned around and ran away, but none of them listened to Captain Wang. The order to get down.

Swish arrows shot over, and those who were running around were hit by arrows one after another.More screams came, and there was panic everywhere, as if suddenly falling into the endless hell.

The bandit's first round of arrows had been shot, and when the arrogant bandit saw that the fat sheep were as frightened as lambs, they stopped shooting arrows, put away their bows and arrows, and charged forward with knives, guns and sticks.

Lieutenant Wang leaped up from the ground with his knife in his hand, and yelled at the cheeky face of the monkey in women's clothes with the knife in his hand, "Fuck that guy on your shoulders! Fuck them to death." The united new recruits didn't have any expectations, but at this time, they can only be dead horses as living horse doctors.

Li Jing pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist and handed it to Xiao Shishi, and then gave the scabbard to the little carpenter Qiu Sheng.

"You two stand in front of me and protect me!"

After finishing speaking, Li Jing quickly took off the horn bow on his body. The bow in Li Jing's hand was a horn bow.The bows of the Tang Dynasty were divided into four types: longbow, horn bow, slightly bow and grid bow.The horn bow was originally a bow for riding and shooting, and this bow was handed down from the ancestors of the Li family.The ancestors of the Li family have been in the army for generations, and originally had a full set of armor and weapons, including horizontal knives, horse spears, longbows, horn bows, spears, and copper maces.It's just that after Li Jing's grandfather died in the battle, most of these were lost on the battlefield, leaving only a spare horn bow.

Although this bow is a spare, it is very precious.The bow horns are made of a pair of rhinoceros horns, the horns are two feet and five inches long. It is said that these two horns alone can be worth the price of four cows.The bow tube that is ribbed in Fujiao is also tightly wound with the above-mentioned fine water-colored silk thread.The bow arms are also coated with varnish to protect against frost and moisture.It took three years to make this bow, plus those dry horns, tendons, glue, silk lacquer, etc. Although it was only the bow used by the ancestors, it was also extremely valuable. It was a family heirloom of the Li family. Sometimes, I sold it without hesitation.

Li Jing used to practice bow and arrow diligently when he was practicing martial arts with his elder brother. Although he used a training bow for practice, he has used this bow many times and is very familiar with it.

With the horn bow in his hand, the whole set of standard movements from countless times before practicing bow shooting flooded into his mind.

The front legs are stretched, and the rear legs are bowed.

Li Jing silently recited the family envoy's bow formula, "The front feet are like sticking out, the back feet are like lameness, the feet are not straight, and the cross is not good. The elbow and wrist are bent, and the bowstring is close to the right cheek. The right eye gathers the big corner of the eye, and the left eye gathers the small corner of the eye. Shoulder height, elbow height, tiger's mouth, three points form a line, elbow height upwards, and if the hand is straight, the force is on the tiger's mouth. The index finger of the right hand hangs down, and the thumb of the left hand presses the middle finger to stand flat. The tiger's mouth is important, and the arrow reaches the end of the middle finger."

While reciting the archery formula silently, Li Jing had already put on the bone-made quilt.The 韘 is also the wrench finger, but it is not the barrel-shaped wrench finger of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties of later generations, but the slope-shaped wrench finger of the Han style.The thumb presses the string, and the index finger and middle finger press the thumb.The whole person held his breath, Li Jing was extremely calm at this moment, as if the whole person was outside the battlefield.

Wang Xiaoshitou and Li Xiaocarpenter, one holding the horizontal knife and the other holding the scabbard, their faces were full of panic.If it weren't for Li Jing's calmness, their trembling legs might give up and run away.

"Brother Xiucai, the thief is coming up, shoot quickly." A robber with a long gun was rushing straight, the little carpenter shouted in panic, his voice trembling.

Li Jing was unmoved, the string had already been drawn, the bow was like a full moon, but he didn't shoot it immediately.The ferocious face of the bandit was getting closer, but Li Jing's breath became more and more steady.Finally, he had completely adjusted his breath, and it was the best time.

With a bang, the string rumbled like a thunderbolt, and the arrow with the white feathers on its tail shot out like lightning.

Li Jing still maintained the posture when he shot the arrow, waiting nervously for the result.Li Jing used to hunt with a bow, and his aim was very good. Not only could he shoot down rabbits and deer, he could even shoot down wild geese.But this was shooting someone after all, especially since it was the first time, Li Jing was also a little nervous.

The thief was less than twenty steps away from Li Jing, which was too close.

The bowstring sounded, and the feathered arrow pierced through the open mouth of the bandit who was raising the gun and screaming, and went straight to the back of the head.

"Shot, shot, Brother Xiucai shot." The little carpenter shouted excitedly, with a tear in his voice, telling what emotion he was feeling at this moment.

Seeing the arrow pass through the bandit's mouth and go straight to the back of his head, Li Jing felt a little queasy.But he endured it, he told himself that it was still a battlefield.There is no room for sloppiness, although he shot down once, but on the other side, Xiaowei Wang has already fallen into siege.

Li Jing quickly took out another arrow from the quiver, this time the speed increased a lot.

Nock the arrow, draw the bow, draw the bow!

A dozen or so steps away, another person fell in response, but this time he was hit in the chest.Although the bandits were strong, they didn't have any armor, not even the head of the family wore armor. Under Li Jing's sharp arrow, the man was killed directly.

Phew, another arrow shot out.Li Jing sent a bandit who was raising his horizontal knife high and slashing at Wang Xiaowei's back to hell.

Houchilian also noticed the archer Li Jing at this time, and couldn't help shouting angrily: "Second brother, take two brothers to be the archer first."

This was smoother than everything in the beginning of the business, and a few arrows frightened the group of packers who hadn't even grown their hair yet.The only one who charged up with a knife was still surrounded by them. Although the martial arts skills of that man were a bit unexpected, he was hard to beat with two fists and four hands, and even a tiger couldn't hold back a pack of wolves.Unexpectedly, the guy who first discovered that they had been lying on the ground was actually a good archer, and killed his three brothers in one fell swoop.

"Pick up the spears of the thieves on the ground, and gather around me." Li Jing roared, and he had already seen clearly that although those from the same village were lying on the ground, howling ghosts and wolves, none of them were really fatally injured. Most of them were just hit by an arrow at an insignificant place. Although the blood flow was scary, they couldn't die for a while.These are fellow villagers, Li Jing can't ignore them, and even though he shot three dead, the opponent still has seven, Li Jing must organize his own people to expand the chances of winning.

Scarface led two men and rushed straight over.Facing Li Jing's sharp shot, this seasoned desperado was also prepared.The three bandits first drove Li Jing's horses, mules and donkeys to rush over, and then one of them took a piece of silk as a shield in front of them, and then rushed over with knives and guns.

Li Jing shot two arrows at the scarred face, but the guy was extremely agile, and unexpectedly avoided both arrows, only causing a little scratch.When Li Jing wanted to deal with the other two gangsters first, the other party had already rushed forward.

On Li Jing's side, there are five or six people gathered at this time, but the weapons are only two spears, a horizontal knife and a scabbard, and the bow in Li Jing's hand.

"Everyone, listen to me shouting one, two, three, stab together." With no way to retreat, Li Jing could only shout.

"One, two, three, stab!" Li Jing yelled when he saw the scarred face fiercely jumping up and slashing towards him.

Although Xiao Shitou and the others were terrified in their hearts, seeing Li Jing shooting and killing three people in a row, they also regarded Li Jing as the backbone in their hearts.As soon as Li Jing called stab, the two gunmen immediately stabbed forward fiercely, and the little stone and the little carpenter also slashed forward fiercely with their knives and scabbards.

Five or six people from Li Jing roared in unison, the momentum was huge for a while, and the scarred face was startled.Seeing that the long spear was handed in front of him, unable to change his moves for a while in the air, he immediately threw a piece of silk used to block the arrows at the crowd, and then let out a loud roar, and the big spear stabbed at the ground, abruptly stopping the rushing momentum .

Xiao Shitou and the others lost their swords and guns all at once, but Li Jing had been waiting for this opportunity, and the arrow that had just been set up immediately left the string.Scarface, who had just escaped the spear piercing, was shot to the ground with a scream.The other two thieves were startled when they saw the stalwart second leader was shot down, and they didn't know how to live or die. They were shocked, turned around and retreated timidly.

ps: The two robbers knelt down and begged for mercy, and shouted: "Don't kill me, I have a recommendation ticket, I would like to hand over all the recommendation tickets, please spare your life!"
